It's easy to attach to a belt and the cover adds extra protection to the phone.
This is the way of products in todays world. We can as a species land a satellite on a comet but we cant put some flimsy plastic over some slightly curved glass. Regardless, almost none of these cases on the market for this brand new phone are including full screen protectors built in. So, we are stuck with the stick on adhesive crap shoots that claim self healing characteristics.
The PROS: As noted above, the tank armor that is standard in the Defender series is present and fully deployed.
The phone is very thin and the case follows suit. In fact, I think the profile of the holster clip is actually taller than the case.
The grip is great as always. This phone without a case on it is begging to slip out of your hand. None of the other cases for this phone can compete with the grippy rubber that otterbox uses.
The holster is quite strong and flexible for getting in and out of cars and general work. I wouldn't rock climb with it though. See Below
The CONS: Obviously, the lack of built in screen protection. Given that other companies are doing the same thing, you could take it or leave it.
The case doesn't always fully seat in the holster when already clipped to your belt. No audible click like past otterbox defenders.
The price. Otterbox is very near top of the line but has remained at the top of the cost line as well. If people will pay it, more power to them. There are comparable cases for one third of the all black case.
The buttons are very stiff. Again, take it or leave it. At least you wont be striking buttons accidentally.
Tips: Give the phone a jiggle if you place it into the holster screen side inward. Maybe even a tug as a test. It doesn't like to seat all the time if the holster is on your belt. Ive gotten out of the car twice in 2 days and juggled the phone and braced for impact as my 8 day old phone rolls across the blacktop.
The fact that the rubber is on the outside gives my hand way more grip on the phone when I pull it out of my pocket. The commuter version has the rubber on the inside and hard plastic on the outside which makes it ridiculously slippery if your hands are dry. Maybe if I lived in a humid area like the East coast or Hawaii it would be different, but I live in CA and it's pretty dry here most of the time so my hands are on the drier side, so rubber provides that much needed grip for holding my $800 phone in my hand.
My only gripe about this case is some of thin plastic areas on the hard inside plastic skeleton of the case will break over time after you drop it enough. But luckily because it's being held together with the rubber on the outside it doesn't much affect the function of the case. I will admit I briefly went back to a new commuter case after I first discovered the small areas of cracked plastic under the rubber of my defender, but after dropping the phone a few times with the new commuter case I put the old defender case back on and have used it for the last 2.5 years. It works just fine despite the small cracked areas. If the commuter plastic cracks you're done b/c that outer plastic shell is what gives the case its stability.
All in all, save yourself the hassle and just buy this case, and be sure to use a good tempered glass screen protector!!! I've seen reviews of dummies that complain about their screen being broken or covers coming off... this case isn't designed to protect your whole screen, only protects the edges from impact on a flat surface. I use OTAO screen protects, they're cheap and work great!
