how much more protection does this offer than the speck case other than the screen protector?

 

[pittphan]

Significantly more. You can drop on otterbox from 6' onto the pavement and all will be fine. Speck is a nice case though.

The Commuter Series Otterbox cases. Have a Silicon case wrapped around the phone with a hard case ontop of the that. The Silicone acts like a shock absorber while the hard case takes the blunt damage.

Wish they were making a Defender case for it. Its a Hard case lined with silicone/felt on the inside with a silcone case wrapped around the hard case. You can drop them from high hieghts with none-to-minor damage.

Picking up my case soon. My Best Buy is recieveing theirs soon, just want to go pick it up same day. Laziness is great. I'll post pics when I do.

I got it today.

Otterbox has stated that they are NOT making a defender case, so I went with the commuter case.

My main issue with other cases were how hard it was to push the buttons.

This one should win an award as best hd7 case. Buttons are easy to push, the phone has a great feel without being tooo bulky.

I dont have a camera to post pictures right now, but I can promise you it looks exactly like it does on their website.

It also comes with a screen protector, and it is the first screen protector on this phone that I have been able to apply with no bubbles! WIN!

I just got the case on Saturday after returning the Speck Pixelskin HD case I previously had. The Speck is a great case if you're more into a lighter weight and just enough protection type case. The design, while great, can be troublesome, as some lint does get stuck between the lines.

As for the Otterbox, apart from the lint magnet that the silicone is on the corners, the case is very high quality and feels much more solid if ever I should drop it by accident. The power button is also much easier to push now.

I'll try to take pictures when I remember.

I bought the OtterBox today and I am very happy. Installing a simple phone and well protected.

Interesting gadget...

Can you confirm please the shipping cost ?

As I read from their website:

34.95$ + 8$ (i'm in Italy) + 15% (taxes) = 49.40$


Not cheap, but the product seems very well done


Thanks, Marco.

Thanks a bunch for mentioning this. This was my biggest question about the Otterbox, and that's my one beef so far with the HD7. It was suggested by someone else to get a silicone skin type of case to improve the button action.

I ordered my Otterbox this morning.

How's the quality of the screen protector film?

Just received mine the other day. The Otterbox is an awesome case for the HD7, and doesn't add a lot of bulk. The only issue I have with the case is that it doesn't make the buttons any easier to push like the Speck case did.

 

[teels4feels]

That's weird.

I thought the Speck case's feedback on the buttons was not very accurate. The volume button was too easily pressed and was annoying as I would just hold the device with my right hand and accidentally press the volume button. Also the power button was very hard to press as I had to put more force compared to the Otterbox!

IMO, the Otterbox has a much better button responsiveness.

 

[alijahg34]

Krebster try readjusting the silicon inside you should hear a click when pressing the power button. This case rocks
