While an awesome protection, it is sort of like getting an H2 Hummer to protect your phone. That is how bulky that makes the phone.

Saw An Advertisement On The Internet Where You Can Get $100 Off The New Phone If You Trade In The Old One At Radio Shack.

The phone is so slick, I hate to cover it up!

Best Protection You Can Get For Your Investment, Though. All My Friends At Work Have The OtterBox On Their I-Phones.

I resisted until after the second screen cracked and haven't had a problem since.
You have to poof a little baby powder on the inside plastic screen so it doesn't bubble and not use the belt clip holster though. The holster allows the phone to fly off in my experience.
I also found you need to open up the tab that covers the charge port or you get an echo when talking and the Otterbox doesn't allow charging with anything other than the factory charger, which sucks in the car as it's a pain to open up.

I'm kinda rough on stuff, so the Otterbox is a necessary evil. This takes out the benefit of the slimmer design of the 4 and leaves me wondering what features warrant an immediate upgrade...

Pete: The "New" Holster Locks The Phone In As Tight As A Drum As Long As You Make Sure Your USB Port Is Closed Up Tightly On The Otterbox. If You Have Had Your Otterbox Less Than One Year, You May Get The New Holster For Free From Otterbox or ATT.

Very good to know Greg. I bought mine off Ebay and wonder if the ATT store near me would honor this.....

Come to think of it, there's one across from Corona Cigar so that gives me an excuse to head there now!!!

I've got the Comuter Series case for my 3G and imo it's the best case I've ever had for it. Currently I'm on the list to be notified when the iPhone 4 version is ready. The Defender case doesn't look too bulky for the iPhone 4 like it did for the 3G/3Gs.

Here's the link to the Otterbox iPhone 4 cases: OtterBox

Just picked up the Belkin clear case for the phone at Best Buy.
Looks and works great.
Barely adds any size to the phone and cushions it well. Beats the bumper being sold by Apple and it is very soft material that won't scratch up the phone as the harder cases will, specially when dust particles get caught up in there.

Knowing me, I will forever search for more cases I like but this one is great for now.
