i ordered the commuter directly from their website with the 10% off + free shipping coupon (tb1010y). i will post pics when i get it.
OB says the Defender case can't support the extended life battery, the other two cases do. I'm going to have to wait until someone locally has Defender in stock so I can slip my DX in and see how it fits.
I want to read reports before I buy so please post up. it looks to me like the cases will make the edges of the screen hard to use and make the 4 bottoms buttons hard to use. but pics can be deceiving.
Also is it me or are the 3 prices of cases, really just removal of a layer. Sure seems that way.
Eitherway I like defender and the Commuter.
I wanna get one but I'm not sure if I want the defender or the commuter. I currently have the body glove. I wonder if the OB is that much of a step up. I'll wait to the reviews.
I ordered the commuter and the defender yesterday. Will see if I can take some pics of the two when they arrive. After reading some of the complaints people have with otterbox I am thinking I won't get them 'till next week.
Hey guys, don't waste your money. Amazon is selling the Commuter for a lot less:
Commuter $19.99 vs. $34.95 on Otterbox site: Amazon.com: Otterbox Commuter Case for the Motorola Droid: Cell Phones & Accessories
Haven't tried either yet, but my experience with the Defender on the iPhone is that it added a TON of bulk to it. Great protection, but unless you work construction you don't really need it. Also, the clip on the iPhone case consistently dropped the phone out. I had to remove the screen cover on it because it made it impossible to reach the outside edges of the screen, and it definitely added a layer of bulk around the screen that had to be navigated in order to reach the edges. That said, I still used the case when camping/hiking. It was way to difficult to remove for every day use.
