Default Rugged case for texting?

Anyone know of a decent rugged case with holster that still allows you to text easily? I have the otter defender which is rugged but typing on it sucks because the case comes into the the screen to tightly. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

If I've done something to piss you off then please hit my thanks button so I know you truly don't give a ****.
Or if you bored then you can also hit my thanks button. Most importantly if you don't like what I may have to say well, that's your problem not mine.

I use the Seido/ Pt Convert. I had the Otterbox Defender and didn't like and returned it to Best Buy after a day. Got the BB branded Convert and I like it so far.

I have the same question. I got rid of the defender for the same reason.

The Defender is much better than I expected. This issue is my main issue with the case.

I dont have any issues with the defender at all...and I have fat fingers...so...its more a matter of preference than anything.. the high sides arent an issue for me at all

I have the Defender also, typing on it is a pain. The Q and P are very difficult to get at. My girlfriend has the same issue and she has tiny fingers.
I hope the ballistic case will be better.

My only issue with the ballistic is i didnt always need the outer rubber layer on my phone. Only when in extreme conditions. Well without the outer layer on alot of the buttons and ports are exposed. And the ballistic for the 3d looks to have the same issue. If you look at the right side of the innercases on the ballistic page for the evo3d youll see that the camera button and the 2d/3d button is exposed. And im willing to bet that just like the og evo the audio jack and charging port is exposed to. This was a problem because dust would pile up in those areas. This is why i chose the otterbox defender bc even outside the holdster every area is covered. Now obviously with the extra silicone layer on the ballisic on the phone it would definitely be able to take a longer or harder fall then the otterbox but the ballistic case outside the rubber silicone case i actually think is worst then the otterbix defender. Me and my co worker had a habbit of falling as sleep with our phones in our lap in our work van and when wed get out the phones would go flying. My hard balistic case would actually pop open everytime and scuffed on the corners. His otterbox had the soft rubber outside layer which absorbed the falls better never scuffed or popped open. This is just my opinion though i have had both cases and seen them in action not just on the phone
