Otterbox Defender case

[mikelliott]

I love this case. I've had it for several months. I was surprised that I do not get the bubble effect at all.

At work I like to put my phone In my pocket and at home is this case difficult to get in and out of your pocket? I currently have an ifrogz I really like but Im an active person and I like the fact that you can also get the arm band.

I got the case tonight and put it my new 3Gs and it blocks the speaker volume!! I waited 2 years for improved sound and I'm not going to block it with the case! I turned on a movie and thought" wow..seems hard to hear"...but as soon as I opened the little rubber port door for the charger it got louder. Great concept but I just can't deal with the reduced volume.

Depends how tight are your breaches lol? I also had the ifrogz but I too am an active person I have a mowing bussines and I run. For me it's not any harder to get In and out of my pocket than the ifrogz but didn't think I would but I actually use the belt clip alot except for at work its in my pocket!

You could do like I did I was having a little difficulty hearing through the ear piece so I got out some little sisscors and cut the filter out worked like a charm I don't really care about the speaker volume much cause I use headphone 90% of the time.

Got mine yesterday. Looks cool but the bubbles/oil slick watermarks were driving me insane. Then I tried to plug in my iphone/bluetooth combo adapter into the dock...no luck the plug is too big to fit on the groove where the dock sits on the case...the I tried to plug in my Belkin FM transmitter....same problem. Unless I want to keep taking it out of the case, I can't use my chargers.

They are aware of this and are making a new case specifically for the 3GS.

This is one of my favorites...I always described it to my friends and thermal nuclear protection for my iPhone...not really trying to sell anything here but I do have brand new..used for 1 day G2 (not G3orS) one I will let go for cheap.

I gues PM me...

I may not be returning my white Otterbox to the manufacturer after all. Used it to go to the beach (took some videos and didn't have to worry) and then after going to a friend's house for a 4th of July bbq, it fell out of my pocket and not a scratch on it. Whew!

I think it's too bulky though, but it'll come in handy whenever I go somewhere where I think I'll need the extra protection like the beach! For now, I'm happy with the Candy Shell.
