Just bought my defender from my local sprint store. They had got 3 on the truck and me and my gf bought 1 each and the third was spoken for as well. Fits good but I took the screen protecter off because I already have a zagg hd on it.

i would have done this, but otterbox has already shipped my "currently not in stock" Defender :victory:
Which way would be better for getting the defender: Ordering from otterbox.com using the split second ordering thing, or from Sprint.com?
You can get $7 off total using the coupon codes in a previous post when you order from Otterbox. Sprint charges the same $59, so Otterbox website is cheaper.

Thanks man! This exploitation of the website is kinda strange. You would think that they wouldn't just disable the ability to add it to the cart, but also disable something else in the ordering process. And how the option to add to cart lags there for a second before it goes away, they clearly didn't spend to much time on this. ...It's almost as if they wanted us to buy it early....*twilight zone theme*

Maybe it's their way of rewarding folks that have that much will to buy their case! lol
I have been eagerly awaiting the release of this, as I have been an Otterbox customer for a while now. Got one at my local sprint store today - as much as I wanted to like it, the bulk is just too extreme.
I am back to my Cruzerlite TPU case in less than a day. Not to knock the company or product - but I would strongly recommend seeing this monster in action before laying down hard earned cash. it really makes the phone massive, IMO not in a good way at all.

just ordered a Glacier colored otterbox defender, from discountcell.com... Says it will take 1-2 weeks to ship out, but from the reviews I've read about the website, they suck at getting things to you on time.
either way, it will get here eventually, and after shattering the screen on my Note 2, I'm willing to put up with the wait, the weight, and the bulk of this case.

Just ordered my Knight! 
Hopefully there isn't a delay on colors besides black. I have a case on it currently but I need my Otter lol

FYI, mine is stuck in 'Processing' still from yesterday. I did a chat with an Otterbox rep, and he was unable to view my order in his system. He is looking into it and will get back to me. Be prepared that this 'trick' may not necessarily have a happy ending.
Just picked up one from Sprint retail. The case looks and feels great, but should the volume buttons be this hard to push? The power button feels perfect, very little resistance. That being said this is my first Otterbox case so maybe there's break-in time to account for the volume buttons???
They should both feel the same. You can wait and it might get better from normal use or go swap it. I would just go swap it for another one.

You can simply attach one of these to the back of your case: http://www.tinydeal.com/one-hand-adhesive-washable-ring-holder-stand-for-mobile-phone-p-58445.html. It works pretty well as a stand.
Or just use the holster. It's made to use as a stand.

8I've been waiting for this to turn up for ages and I finally got my hands on the Otterbox Defender last night. It really does add some weight and bulk to the phone but of course offers the protection a lot of people are looking for. I personally like the look of the grey case but the wait for that is still about a month I believe.

Hey guys, hopefully Otterbox doesnt go through this website lol but anyways..
I was able to place an order for the Otterbox Defender case yesterday directly on their website.
If you go to their site, once the site with the case loads, you will see the add button on the page for a split second before it changes to Coming Soon message, if you click on Add in that split second, it will add it to your cart and you can check out, I placed the order yesterday and it was shipped out yesterday and I should have it on Wednesday of next week already according to FedEx.
Hope this helps for someone because I know that I am a happy camper right now lol43I just picked up the case and the volume buttons do suck to press The silicone on the volume feel squishy but needs to be pushed all the way down to make the volume go up or down. I'm a bit disappointed cause the power button feels so perfect. Hopefully I get used to it because I do like the case.

Don't think it well get any better cause the silicone tabs on the inside just aren't long enough.

I found a cheap solution for this issue. What I did was use some 3M stick tape (the stuff thats basically 2 sided tape but is Styrofoam) I cut a piece long enoug to cover the volume up and down on the inside of the rubber. I took the paper off that side so that it would stick but left the paper on the side that would make contact with the buttons. Put the case back on the phone and the volume buttons work effortlessly as the power button.
Nothing fancy but it fixes the problem.
