Otter Box Cases

---

Hey guys,
Just got my Bionic and was wondering what you thought about cases.

Mainly the Otterbox Defender and Commuter. which do you like better? my problem with the Defender is the plastic bit covering the entire screen, i'd rather a regular screen protector. Can it be removed?

Any advice is appreciated, thanks!

I just got my Commuter.
It's pretty damn awesome. It is slightly larger, but is worth the protection.
I saw the defender, it's really just too big.

The Commuter's screen protector (separate that you apply) only covers the middle of the screen, not including the buttons. It feels slightly strange to swipe down the notification bar for that reason.

I just returned the Commuter. The DB is already a big phone, and either of those two cases really just add to the bulk of it. I'm going to use the phone naked for a while until some minimalist cases hit the market.

I can't believe they have the Defender available the same week the phone is released. Took them over a month to have it for the Charge. I was raging when I saw the Bionic Defender case in my news feed.

I think the commuter is absolutely perfect, coming from someone who wore the Droid 3 naked and ended up with a spider Web screen from dropping it. + 1 otterbox for getting this case out so fast and radio shack for the 25% off!

I'm extremely pleased with my Commuter case. It actually makes the phone feel higher quality, which I didn't believe possible. The included screen protector was cheap IMO, so I'll be looking for a replacement.

Great case all around.

I have the commuter and love it. I modified mine to fit the extended battery.

I second that it makes it feel higher quality, the screen protector I feel is great, had the employee do it and it has not One bubble. I loved the defender protector but too thick of a case:/

I love my Otterbox defender. It took some getting used to the bulk, but the protection is superior to any others, imo. Protection & functionality over sex appeal. This case isn't for everyone, YMMV.

Cut up a defender this morning to fit the extended battery and love it. I used to always break my phone at least once or twice during my contract due to dropping it. I am extremely clumsy and get the dropsies a lot. Since I started using otterbox cases 4 phones ago I have never had a problem with a dropped phone breaking, and i drop mine a lot. They just bounce now. LoL thank you otterbox. XD ill happily deal with the added bulk for the protection
