I'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.

Good review but the Defender is way to bulky for me and the screen cover has too much glare. Which is why I want the Commuter, any idea when you can review it?

I personally prefer the commuter, I will be reviewing it as soon as it arrives. I didn't expect to the defender till mid December so I can't say when I'll get my commuter unfortunately.

With a case like the Defender I would probably drop my phone on purpose just so I can feel good about walking around with a case that big.

I did it all the time with my iPhone 4. Lol. I'd drop it on the concrete floor at work from eye level (I'm 6'4" ) because people wouldn't believe the case was that good, then THEY were the ones that would freak when I let it go haha

Yeah some of the Youtube videos of drop tests are scary to watch the first time, proves the case does it job though I guess.

I have been tempted to do my own drop tests on video but at the same time I'm too scared it will break lol

Ah. I honestly hadn't bothered watching it. I have enough experience with otterbox lol. Not worth ordering from the UK so I'll keep waiting

I can't believe stock is available in the UK and not in the states.

    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 lol

    Otterbox Defender in the car-dock

    For everyone that decided to go for the Otterbox Defender we here at IBOLT are just finishing up the active car-dock designed for the Note II & with use of Otterbox cases in particular. See new images below how the gray case looks when in the Dock.

    I just picked up the case and the volume buttons do suck to press :mad: 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.
