I liked the Otterbox Commuter for the 3gs, but it isn't as good for the 4/4s. Still, it's pretty darn good protection and enough thinner than the defender that it does go in my pocket fine.

My wife (4s) and I (4) both have the commuter and its a great case. My first had some issues with the rubber part stretching but the new one and the one she has fit perfectly. My only complaint is that it can't dock with the cover on.

Otterbox defender here, too, on my 4. Had it for several months, and no issues at all. As for it being too big to fit in a pocket, are all of you small guys or are you all emos who just wear skinny jeans? I've never had an issue with that.

I prefer the Otterbox Commuter, because of the protection of the port and that it is slimmer than the Defender. I've had the Incase case on my my old iPhone 3 when it committed suicide by jumping into a glass of water.

Ditto. Threw clip part in drawer. Haven't used a phone clip in years. They ALL break on me. I can take otter box covered phone in and out of pocket easily. I don't usually keep iPhone in pants pocket while sitting, though. But again, I never kept other cell phones in pocket while sitting, either

They may have made some changes, but the rubber was definitely a complaint when I was using one right after the 4 came out. Also, the plastic on mine broke where the headphone jack is (it wasn't dropped, and I'm not sure when it broke as I just looked down and it was broken one day).

Otterbox is a great company though, one phone call and they had a replacement in the mail. Still, compared the the commuter for the 3gs, the one for the four isn't that great.

the defender i purchased was the hybrid. sounds like they addressed a few issues they had with the original 4 model.

Oakley makes 2 cases any clue on those?

I have the Otterbox on mine. Bulky yes, but no real complaints so far as I am moving from a Blackberry into an iphone.

jwintosh · 01-24-2012, 01:20 PM

I've been using Otterbox Defenders for a couple years now and everyone in the family uses them. I get them 2 for about $25 shipped on ebay or Amazon. I buy the no-clip versions. I don't need them, and for about $12.50 a case, it can't be beat.

Look into the new case from lifeproof case has been great. Worth the price full waterproof but completely accessible for all features of phone.

Magpul makes two fantastic cases. Helps that I'm a gun guy, but I love mine.
