Best, case, ever. This thing is a beast... Loving it, very good protection, and honestly its not a whole lot more bulky than a commuter.

Have you noticed that the built in screen protector doesnt fit flush on the screen resulting in the screen not registering a selection sometimes?

yup and you have to push down hard to get it to register. :( might take it back and get the impact case.
i actually did the oppisite. I returned my impact for a defender, even with the screen problem i still like the defender better. i dont like the feel of the impact and i think the volume/power buttons are more difficult to hit with the impact. im prolly just going to remove the built in screen protector.

Just wanted to share this story .. 100% true . Was out drinking last night... Was leaving a spot in my buddys jeep and forgot my phone was on the hood still .. We run over it, then the honda behind us runs over it. I get out prepared for heart break ...... The phone is absolutely perfect still. I know what you're thinking , how is that possible... I dunno, devine intervention maybe haha . All I know is that this case plus zag shield = indestructible.

I'm not one to embellish stories... Just thought I would let you know the otter box thing isn't all hype.

Edit: jumped the gun. I have the commuter case... So take that for what its worth haha its even cheaper . So I can only imagine this ones magic powers

I recently got the defender..... way to big and the sylicon shell always pops off on the sides. I got it for 30 on Amazon so I couldn't resist, but Im sending it back Monday and having it replaced with the impact case

The otterbox defender comes with a holster that u can lock the belt clip open and use it as a kickstand. Its really big though.

I just ordered the impact. Why does everyone seem to hate it so? Looks cool in the pics.. I don't need much protection as the phone is normally in my hand or next to my pillow poised to wake me up and be in my hand again haha

I ordered the commuter case from amazon ($23) and realtek screen protectors day after getting my phone and they've been great the couple months I've had it. I was going to get the impact but after reading all reviews about it being a lint magnet I changed my mind. I'm glad I did, just the little bit of silicon exposed on the commuter attracks lint enough that every few days it needs a good wipe down.
