I wanted to protect my phone/investment and have a friend that has the Blackberry Otterbox. He loves it and talks it up all the time. I looked at his and was impressed. I went to my local AT&T store and bought an IPhone 3GS Otterbox Defender. I was impressed by the case. I started wearing it and was in love with my new IPhone and case. However I started to notice the case would fall out of the belt clip holder for no apparent reason. I would be at a regular walk and it would just fall out. I thought it was possibly due to being a new case. I had my husband look at it and make sure everything was installed/stored correctly. It was but the two clips on the belt clip that hold the case just don't do as well as the Blackberry case design. It appears to be a design issue. Yesterday, I walked over to were my husband was working and once again my IPhone in the case fell out of the clip. It was in the grass so I didn't here it or notice it. About five minutes later my husband comes over and show me my month old IPhone with a shattered screen. It had fallen out of the clip and my husband had ran over it with the tractor. I am extremely disappointed in the performance of my Otterbox Defender. I am upset that not only do I have to buy a new IPhone, but the very item I bought to protect it, lead to it distruction. I bought the Otterbox for piece of mind thinking my IPhone would have an extra layer of protection. I will never buy another Otterbox product and will advise all of my IPhone friends and customers of my experience with the Otterbox.....

I purchased this product for the 3G iPhone and was amazed at how ell it "defends" the phone. Being in the military, I am used to "rugidized" types of hardware and this case certainly would qualify for extreme use. So far, I have dropped, banged, and even accidently dunked the phone in a bucket of water (quickly removed and cleaned)--all with no damage what so ever to the phone. This is case sets the standard for durability and protection. I only have two complaints: the supplied holster is poorly designed to a point of being almost useless. It only alows the phone to be installed "face in", and the retension is not all that stellar having dropped my phone several times. I do not use the holster and merely carry the phone in my pocket. The thing I hated the worst were the oil bubbly looking screen. As supplied, the built-in protection screen appears to have bubbles under it. Unfortunately the manufacurer's recommended fix does not work--the best fix is buying Apple's antiglare screen protector (additional $20.00). In conclusion, the case is absolutely bullet proof--a redesign of the holster and inclusion of an antiglare screen would make the entire product a perfect 10. Great review.

The pictures were great - that really helps. I was using an incase protective case (rubber type) and it scratched up my iphone pretty good. I'm now trying to find a better case, looks like I will go with this one! Thank you for the nice review! The pictures were great – that really helps.
