I bought the OtterBox 3G Defender cell phone holder for my iPhone through their website, but I thought I’d mention how happy I am with it here. I’ve heard a lot of complaints about the product and phone holder, but that problem was very easily solved once actually using it for myself for my iphone. By the way, the part number on the box is 1942-20.5.
“Ideal for frequent travelers and business professionals as well as everyday users who want added protection, OtterBox Defender cases provide three layers of bump, scratch and drop protection:
Layer 1: Thermal formed protective clear membrane to safeguard screen and keyboard against scratching as well as dust and dirt. Layer 2: Hi-impact polycarbonate shell. Layer 3: Silicone skin absorbs bump and shock and includes innovative retaining features to hold it in place.”
Calls are clear through it, and clear on the other end. Some reviews mention a tunnelling effect, but that doesn’t seem to be a problem in my usage so far. All my calls have been just as clear without any cell phone pouch.
The OtterBox iphone holster is really protective, and of all the cases I’ve looked at so far, the sturdiest case for the iphone 3G’s that I’ve seen. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a extremely solid case for his or her phone. Although not much to buy, it’s definitely well worth the money – you’ll thank me.
