1942-17.4 Iphone (tm) 3g DeCase (white/white)

This protective case is built like a tank! If you are looking for a cute or delicate skin or cover for your iPhone, then move on to something less. This case provides incredible bump and drop protection. Excellent "splash and drizzle" protection. Installation is super simple. All ports and functions are usable. The only difficulty I've had is accessing the silent switch but the benefit there is that I no longer accidentally hit it like I used to when it wasn't in the case. Many reviewers have reported issues with an oil-slicking effect on the screen. I did have this, but it is easily solved by placing a cheap screen protector on the phone before putting on the Otter Box. Other reviews have also made comments about the phone being difficult to holster/un-holster from the belt clip. I disagree and attribute that to user errors. The belt clip has easy to use thumb tabs to facilitate removal from the holster and if you place the phone into the holster properly - first the bottom then clip in the sides - it works like a charm. The solid black is still classy and stylish enough to not be the focus of attention when I am dressed professionally but it's ruggedness is enough to draw people's attention when I have it in hand. I highly recommend this for anyone who has a high activity lifestyle, works outdoors, or is in a high contaminant environment.

I dropped my first iPhone and shattered the screen. I'm quite clumsy so when I replaced the phone I asked the guy at the Apple store what he recommended for me and this was it. Not a pretty case and it's quite bulky but I have dropped it multiple times, even down cement stairs and not a problem has come from the phone.

I bought this for my husband's iPhone and he loves it. There's no other case out there that can protect the iPhone the way the OtterBox can. Highly recommend.

Two (2) days after I purchsed this case the belt clip broke. The case protects great, but if you're looking for a belt clip to carry it, look elsewhere.

A few months after I bought my first iPhone, it slipped from its cover and fell on a concrete sidewalk. Of course, the screen smashed into smithereens. I painfully had to replace the iPhone for $200. An Apple employee recommended that I purchase an Otterbox online. I had never heard of this brand, so I looked it up online, and learned about the three layers of protection. I decided to purchase it, as I was not willing or able to spend $200 every time the iPhone fell to the ground.

I am very happy with my purchase. It is true that this item is bulky and unsightly, and the water mark can be annoying at times. Nevertheless, the protection offered by the Otter Box outweighs any negative aspect. In fact, two of my friends have purchased the Otter Box based on my recommendation.
