I like the look of the Otterbox case but am concerned about what to do when mounting the phone in the car.

I've just received my DHD and am looking for cases, car holders etc. I like the Brodit range of holders, but guess it won't work with this Otterbox case.

Any suggestions?

aha i keep mentioning this everywhere...i dont work for them...i havent even had mine come yet...i'm hoping for it to come tomorrow...the main advantage for me is not having to take it out of the case!

the thing which annoyed me most about my Touch HD and the car holder was it kept peeling off the InvisibleShield from the back of my phone :(

@insty - I got it to quote to Australia.....(change country suitably, for 'state' the last option is something like "non-USA/Other)

@silencer - what, you're 30kg and lack the muscle to handle the combined mass of 189GRAMS of the phone/case? I'd consider the extra 5x6x5mm dimensions worthwhile for decent exterior protection. Get over it.

Ended up with a quote of $44 inclusive of postage, 10% discount and exchange rate.

Too bad I have birthday/anniversary presents coming up; waiting on back-pay and will jump on this straight away ;).

Looking forward to a proper review on it, not that I'm expecting much different to the usual Otterbox reviews/praise.

Tried to order one through Otterbox's website, but they don't like my address, even with the Australia/Non-US state chosen.

So I'll wait for it to turn up on ebay.

ok, try it and its work fine !
do you see on otterbox site 4 line of ordering?
same order number, but like four of them...

i sand them email now to be sure the i didnt get debit on my c.c for several time...
yeah I also see the 4 lines, everyone knows how much hassle they are when you order off of their website. It will commonly say still processing even after it had been delivered. They seem to be having a lot of trouble at the moment with the whole process, good luck contacting them. Fill us in with what they reply with

Seems a bit pricey...

What's it made of? Kevlar? Neoprene embedded with microscopic diamonds?

I got a case from ebay:
Go to : cgi.ebay.co.uk/BLACK-HYDRO-GEL-CASE-COVER-HTC-DESIRE-HD-FILM-/160496080523?pt=UK_MobilePhones_MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item255e4fd68b
(sorry can't post URLs as I'm a noob!)

Does the job and looks pretty good too, stops the phone from feeling too 'slippy' and doesn't bulk out the phone by too much.

How long does it usually take to ship? I ordered on 11/8, and as of right now it still says "processing" and "not shipped". Their shipping chart says it should only take 4 days. Well that's today, and I don't have it. I emailed them, but like you said also, no reply. I was already charged too. The very next day. They take the money, but then that's it. I'm not in a rush for it, but it would be nice to know when I will get it.

So I received an email from them today. Not replying on status, but the actual invoice. It was shipped yesterday. YAY!

This OtterBox case is superb...

...so i´ve ordered one piece few seconds ago. I have some gel case from ebay, not bad, but its not a worthy competitor for this one. Many thanks for useful info about this case.

Can people post their opinions who have got them? Does it make the phone too bulky, does the phone still feel good in the hand etc

Bonus points for photos of it on... as long as it won't make the phone stupidly large I'm going to buy one

Sweet, just ordered one too.
Use this code to get 10% off guys amcc1010b
thx, duty is going to kill the deal I bet... but thx again for the code!


To the guy above, it did make my iphone 4, larger, bulkier and heavier..... but, it sure does protect my $800 purchase....
