Great protection, can't see the screen |
|
I have owned many iPhone cases and this is definitely the most protective. I bought it specifically to put my iPhone in while on a ski trip to offer additional protection in case I dropped it in the snow. Unfortunately the much talked about "oil slick" effect, coupled with outdoor light made it virtually impossible to see the screen. We took video and shot pictures without really knowing what we were aiming at. It became so annoying that I couldn't wait to get back home to put my other case back on. I tried all the tricks mentioned in other reviews to remove the oil slick but nothing worked. And don't think you'll be taking this case on and off. It's a complete pain to try to pry this thing off once it's snapped into place. I also noticed it was more difficult to hear calls. I had to position the phone just right to be able to hear. So while it gets 5 stars for protection, it gets one star for usability. |

get this!! |
Amazing. One small word, sums it up. I am a very avid comparison shopper and very hesitant to spend alot of money on cases. I have bought 4+ cases, finally spent the cash and splurged. I am a touchy person, so I actually bought this at the apple store. Difference of twenty bucks, but apple store gives you a year warranty. This mother is a beast. I can probably throw this against the wall, and no harm will be done. Clips very nicely into the holster, very easy to use. Complaints about it being bulky, well, you either get bulky and protection, or not! It doesn't really add that much bulk, and to me it actually makes it easier to hold the phone!
I would buy this again and probably will be buying it for my brother, as he is just as rough on phones as I am. I would recommend this to everyone! |

Good investment for your iphone |
|
So you've got your new iphone and it's sleek, gorgeous and can do anything. Naturally, you want to protect your investment. After looking far and wide, I went with the otterbox defender case. It's not flashy but will protect your phone better than anything else out there even drops and the occasional rainstorm. Also, the price (about $30) was reasonable for what you get. I got the yellow and black model for myself and the black one for my fiance. Comments I get on mine are usually, "what a huge phone" so it makes your phone look a bit bigger but also people don't seem to recognize it as an iphone. I suppose that makes me less of a mugging target! lol. One final thought, the rubbery outer case makes it easy to hold between cheek and shoulder when you don't have time to grab your bluetooth. |

Most protective case out there |
|
I purchased this through [...] for the same price amazon is selling for but their shipping is only [...] so it ends up costing less. The case has the hard plastic layer around the actual iphone, then there's the rubber outer layer around the hard plastic. It has access to all the ports through openings on the hard plastic case and rubber tabs that need to pulled back to access those openings. The only thing is that some china made cig or wall adapters are made that the housing that surrounds the bottom sync/charging connector are too large and the plastic lip that the rubber tab sits in will only accommodate the oem shaped housing around the connector. Same goes with the headphone opening. You have to find one with a small housing around the 3.5mm headphone connector to have it sit flush into the orifice. As far as the oil slicking effect, I took a tiny amount of baby powder and spread it around the surface of the screen. In my case I also had an additional protective film on the iphone touch screen. My case is the latest version which they had the foam inserts were not present so I didn't have any echo problems. I hope in their future revisions they have a thicker protective screen protector. As far as a case to carry my iphone with the defender case I found a military police style case made by Raine Inc. model "Heavy Guard" PDA POUCH 052PClip at the HQ Army-Navy Store at my local mall. It had a heavy duty nylon mesh outer layer usually used in police/military style pouches. I like this pouch because it has a very secure heavy duty belt clip which will not get knocked off your belt because of the design of the clip. It also has a full flap using the heavy duty nylon mesh when the flap is over it gives the iphone a double layer of protection. Another is that it uses a wide velcro to secure the flap closed. Although the case's flap is about 1/2" longer it still attaches a considerable amount of the hook and loop to secure the flap shut. The case is still a tad roomy even with the defender case but any tighter would make if more difficult to remove the iphone out of the case. They have a specific model for the iphone but to fit w/out the case with a thinner material not nearly as protective as the model above I'm using. |

Nice but bad sound - not repairable - not accessory compatible |
Nice case does protect the IPHONE (tm) 3gs quite well. However there are great drawbacks to the case.
1- it reduces the volume of the phone substantially. Both next to the ear and on speaker pone. I would estimate about 40-50%.
2- it is very bulky. Since the IPHONE 3gs is slippery by itself, that is not all bad but it does make a bulky monster out of the phone.
3- if you scratch the screen protector it is not replaceable. I called OTTERBOX customer support today and the phone was answered right away - isn't that always the case for bad news - and they said in effect you have to live with the scratches or get a new case - the screen is not replaceable.
4- 3rd party accessories don't always fit. The case prevents many 3rd party accesories from securly plugging in especially the ones that have locking clips. Although the Apple (TM) charger etc does fit. So if your like me and need multiple charges and cables and don't wnat to by direct from APPLE (TM) watch out.
All in all I would not buy this case again unless I were going into combat and always used an earpiece. |
