 Dont mess around with other cases this is THE ONE. 2010-09-02 |
| By Ryan |
Hi there, I am a very meticulous consumer. I try to take care of my stuff as best that I can and it is no wonder that my stuff still looks brand new after all this time. Before I bought the otterbox, I tried to think of potential hazards like rain, dirt, grime etc. in advance and made the decision from there. I needed rain/water, impact, dirt/oil, and screen protection in one. Hence, the Otterbox defender.
This case is just awesome. There is no doubt in my mind that this is the most durable and versatile case on the market right now. I have had it for 9 months now and I am LOVING IT. It looks great in white!
First off, i bought the white case and was initially worried that it might yellow and have dirt stains after a month or two. After 8 months, the case actually managed to become WHITER. This is a bit weird as I was comparing the new white rubber component to my used one. The new one is a bit of a yellowish white while the older one is skull white!
The rubber compound used for the case is made of thick silicone and it is very tough and stain resistant. I dropped my phone once and i thought that the silicone would be ruined...but there was no scratch on it at all. I just cleaned off the dirt from the road and that was that. The other impressive thing about this silicone is that it literally is stain proof! I was working on my car and was making frantic phone calls for a part that i really needed that day, so there was dirt, oil, grease, rust on my fingers while i was using my phone. I thought ok there goes the case, it's ruined. I grabbed a qtip with alcohol and brushed them all off. AMAZING. I will not try that again however, but it still impressed me. It did not absorb any of the dyes from some paint either.
A couple of people in my class complained that the case is thick. I beg to differ. It only adds a couple of centimeters on the phone and the fact that i am not worried about bumps, drops, water, stain, etc. is WORTH the extra centimeters. Not bulky at all; i guess they just like those trendy cases that dont protect their phone from actual DROPS. While buying a new phone might not be a problem for some, I want my device to last at least until the contract is up and i can get a new one :) Besides, the phone is absolutely PRISTINE thanks to the protection of the case. Needless to say, their phones are all scratched up these days.
I told myself that if I'm going to spend $350 on a new phone i might as well make it last and keep it in the best shape possible (since the value of these phones really hold up in the secondary market).
I do not use the speakers very much, so i decided to put a layer of saran wrap on the speakers. It looks invisible if you tug it right, and it gives an added "splash" protection from the rain.
The CONS:
The silicone part's main weakness is the tab for the headphones. This is pretty durable, but if you open it up at wrong angles + some force, it can rip. Mine only ripped because my little nephew tugged on it. Other than that, for normal everyday use ( i used it a LOT...8 months), it can hold up.
Some aftermarket chargers will not be able to fit at the port due to the port design.
The OIL slick pattern on the screen can be solved easily by "puffing" some powder on it (very light). Refer to the otterbox website for instructions.
Overall, WELL WORTH IT. It was worth it when it was $50, now that it is $20, it is an absolute STEAL. |
| Best protection for iPhone 2010-08-31 |
| By Jimmy J. Thomas (OKC, OK USA) |
| It is rugged and repels liquids (probably won't help if totally submersed). A lot cheaper than the warranty. Easy to put together. Also, makes iPhone fit my large hand better. Snaps into holster that has belt clip, so you don't have to unclip it to access it. |
 Good protection with faults. 2010-08-30 |
| By Richard D. Walkden (Guilford, CT) |
OtterBox Defender Case for iPhone 3G, 3G S (Black)Good basic protection, the OtterBox defender has faults that that make it less useful.
1. The case is very protective but adds bulk and weight. I haven't weighed it but I sure notice it. My package came without instructions making it difficult at first to install the package.
2. The plastic window although protective interacted with the iPhone display surface causing annoying "wet" looking contact spots and the appearance of Newton's rings. I cut the plastic screen cover off.
3. The belt clip is functional with a caveat. The clip which can be locked open (I assume) to stand the case up? It occasionally did accidental lock open and the phone and clip fell off my belt. After 3 weeks of use the clip pin hinge broke and can no longer be used.
SUMMARY: Good protection but with major faults.

| and this is why i love amazon 2010-08-30 |
| By Brittany J. Byington (phoenix, az) |
| paid [$...] for a $[...] product. how great is that. haven't dropped my phone a tremendous amount of times but seem to protect it pretty well, as i'm hard on my phones. the only complaint i have is the bubble effect from the screen, that and the glare. great product and a great price overall |
