(More customer reviews)I had the Otterbox Defender for my iPhone 3Gs and anxiously awaited the release of this case for my new iPhone 4. It arrived today and I am more than pleased with it already. There are a couple notable improvements over the previous model. First of all it doesn't seem to add as much bulk, it does obviously add bulk but it doesn't seem that much. The holster is a huge improvement. I would frequently knock the 3Gs out of the holster with a mere bump on the phone, the 4 LOCKS the phone in and you have to apply pressure to release it. Very secure. It also locks on to your belt securely. The silicone outer skin has a nice texture to it rather than being smooth like the previous model, easier to grip. Otterbox eliminated the plastic covers over the camera lens and that includes the flash which is another improvement over the 3Gs. The one place that I will need to watch is where the silicone secures around the screen, it seems it might com loose there. The flaps over the silence switch, docking port and ear plug are easy to open and close and seem secure. Otterbox has again created a bomb proof case, well worth the wait and extra money.
UPDATE: After a couple weeks of use I find the silicone case closure for the docking port to be a bit of a hassle to close easily. It's a two handed operation and can be frustrating. I find it easiest to close by pushing in the free end first and then push back towards the hinge. I commented on this to Otterbox and they immediately sent me a replacement silicone cover. Nice, but it doesn't solve the problem. I'm still very happy with the case and sticking with it. The only change I may make is to cut out the plastic screen cover and replace with the Power Support HD Anti-glare Film. I may also end up cutting the flap for the docking port off and eliminate the grief. I'm not as concerned about using the phone in the elements as I want to protect it from everyday abuse.
