Looking for a Case

I have an Otterbox Defender for my SPH-D710 (actually, three-- I've broken two belt clips already), and it really works for me-- protects my phone from inevitable falls and whatnot.

My wife likes the ruggedness of the case, but not the color-- to paraphrase Henry Ford, it comes in any color you want, as long as that color is black. Experiments with vinyl dye on the rubberized outer cover were not really successful; but I digress.

My wife wants something rugged, yet light enough to clip to her bra-strap.

So, yeah-- anyone know of a case for the Galaxy S2 'Epic 4G Touch' that can clip to a bra-strap or shirt and doesn't look like it a freakin' Bat-Phone?


... now I want to draw a bat logo on my phone case.
 
Thanks, Dragonslayer. Dngrswife likes the look of the blue case combo...

The Otterbox Defender works really well-- it takes all the abuse I throw at it, and the screen cover and rubber outer wrap are proof against the nasty chemicals I use at work.

I mean, seriously nasty-- one of the cleaners I use dissolves styrofoam like crazy and melts many other plastics, but the outer layer of the Otterbox can handle it. The inner clamshell can't, it seems (I have some vinyl dye that uses the same type of solvent, lucky I tried on an extra piece) but the touchscreen surface can handle it.

This also means that it is not very easy to change the Otterbox Defender from black to another color without damaging the plastic and or making it look really crappy.

If you are an Amazon Prime member, you can get a pretty decent discount on the Defender.
 
I had a commuter for my old evo 3d, loved it and been looking into upgrading to the defender for my e4gt for the clip and screen protection

Thanks for the tip and advice!
 
Since this has turned into an ad hoc review for the Otterbox, I should note that the weakest part is the belt clip-- I have killed two of them in the past six months because they slid off the end of my belt (with phone clipped on), and the unit tends to land on the clip itself and breaks it.

Also, if you squeeze the clip all the way open, it locks in place and can be used as a stand in landscape orientation... The clip rotates, of course, but is not large enough to make out stand in portrait.
