Just got my otterbox for desire hd, and got to say protection it offers is awesome. Is a bit bulkier than just silicon case but totally protects the phones body which is what I was after!

Thumbs up!

**** I got it rejected on the otterbox site and bought it on ebay. Hope I dont end up with 2...

I was thinking of getting one of these as they look like they offer great protection.

However, after looking at the photos in this thread, I'm not so sure. It looks like it almost doubles the thickness of the phone!

The £2.99 gel case I got off eBay only added 1.5mm tops. And it looks better - whats up with the huge Otterbox logo?

For those of you in Australia and having troubles ordering direct from the totally crap Otterbox website: Allphones stores in Australia are now stocking the Otterbox Commuter for AU$39.95. I picked one up 2 days ago from my local. No need to wait for delivery and no need to risk getting charged multiple times by the otterbox ordering system.

I lived the same story. The otterbox web site has a problem I think. I trid to buy a couple of time, but the web site cannot accept my credit card, but when I look at my credit card account, it seems they charged. But after one week or sometimes 10 days, it has erased. If your order cannot accepted or cancelled, please do not afraid.

But the most important thing is, I want to buy an otterbox case for ultimate protection, I have a credit card, but I couldn't, because web site is very very strange.

Thanks, Buying this now!

I just got an email from CS, they said they've a lot of calls and emails to response to, and that the pending charge to credit card will drop 3-5 days if the purchase is unsuccessful. They also said, "Generally failed orders placed on our website have much better success if placed over the phone."

So I guess if you really want one, you can place an order by phone (but I'm not sure if you have to fail at a website purchase first).

has anyone had any luck finding a good vent or window mount cradle that fits a DHD with otterbox around it?

No, but I'm using a Dash Genie from mobilefun.co.uk right now, and it seems to hold the DHD in the Otterbox Commuter well enough. I was concerned the phone would be too heavy for it, but it actually holds better in the Otterbox case than it does with the phone naked - perhaps the case makes the back flatter. It's not rock solid but it's pretty stable, at least I haven't knocked it off yet!

I've also dropped the phone a few times since I put this case on, so I'm very glad I bought it. I don't feel it adds much to how big the phone feels in my hand. It's slightly thicker, but the camera feels much more protected. The power button is easier to find, but a bit spongy, so not always easier to actually press. Overall I'm very pleased with this case, but if I had to pick any faults with it they would be the buttons, which stick out slightly and look a bit naff (I may pluck up the courage to trim them as posted earlier), and the strip of silicon at the bottom of the screen, above the USB socket. It's the only bit of the inner case that isn't firmly clamped down by the hard shell, and very occasionally lifts up. Oh, and the silicon tends to pick up fluff from my jeans pocket, but it doesn't adhere and wipes off in seconds. The screen protector is good, but I've ordered a Brando antiglare one after seeing Andy's review.

But as I said, I've dropped the phone a few times already, and have been very glad of the extra protection. (I use a wheelchair, so my hands are always busy when I'm moving around. Phone on lap = phone likely to be dropped. ) I think it's a really good compromise of protection and appearance, so very pleased with the purchase.

To the guy asking about the CaseMate Barely There - I haven't seen the DHD one, but had one for my iPhone, as I could leave it on while putting the phone in my TomTom cradle. It protected the back of the phone against scratches, but didn't offer anything like the protection the Otterbox does. However it hardly added any extra size or weight to the phone, sot they're very different cases aimed at answering different needs.
