Accessories Otterbox impact case $10 shipped

True, and that $25 has to be on items that qualify for free shipping...

I ordered the Impact Case, a spare wall charger, and a neoprene armband case for when I hike and use the phone as an MP3 player. Total cost... $27, free shipping.
 
I've had this case for a couple weeks(order from Amazon) and it has worked fine for my needs. Not too bulky, adds some protection, easy to take off/put on. Only negatives is that dust/lint sticks to it easily and sometimes not too easy to take out of jean pockets
 
Ordered this case and got it on the phone today and it's brilliant. Not big and bulky, dosen't add much weight, the rubber dosen't stick to my pockets, and best of all its safe now :)

Are you talking about Impact case?
If so, it sticks to pocket, attracts lint..

But other than that I feel my phone is lot safer with it..
 
It does attract lint at first. Give it a week or so of using it (Just pop it off the phone, rinse it with water, no soap when it does). After a while, the "Oils" from your hand soak into the case and the texture changes a little. You'll notice that it does not attract lint nearly as much. It took about 3 weeks for the one I had on my BlackBerry to get "conditioned." I've had the one on my Atrix for almost a week and it's already starting to get conditioned.

As for it sticking in your pocket, well, that's king of what the case is for... just not your pocket. If you notice, you can't slide it. Try it on your dash/console of your car, or when you put it down somewhere. Even on sloped, glass surfaces, it stays PUT! I've placed the phone on a 60* sloped glass surface of a display case when I was needing my hands free to get out my wallet... it stayed right there while I paid the clerk, got my bags, put my wallet up... until I was ready for it.
 
Just got my case today from ebay for $11 shipped. Its not bad, IMO its MUCH too big and bulky. Does attract a lot of lint right now, but we'll see how the condition goes as someone else posted. Also, it doesn't seem to grip the phone too well around the sides, comes off really easily. I'd give it a 7/10
 
@Braz989 are you sure you got a real OtterBox? There are a LOT of knock off's on eBay.

Mine fits very snug. Sung enough it does not feel like it's going to slip off, but not so tight you feel like you are going to tear it getting it off.
 
Here are two pics of it, does it look legit?

I've had mine for a week now. I'm not too happy with it. It's bulkier than it should be and attracts too much lint and fuzz from your pockets. I like the phone better without it. If I knew that it was going to be this bulky I would have just went with the defender case.
 
I have had my Impact for just over a week, no issues for me. I had my iPhone in one like it for 2 years and the back of phone is in great shape. You do need to remove it every month or so to remove the small amount of fine dirt that will get in. I live in the desert so this might be more of a problem for me than for others.
I don't mind the difficulty of removing it from my pocket, I now have a habit of removing it before I sit down or get into the truck.
My first iPhone did not have one and it fell 3 times and cracked the screen before I put one on it.
My 2 cents...
