otterbox defender

Would be nice if someone could post pictures of the defender and the commuter to compare because I don't know the difference between the too.
Sent from my DROID RAZR MAXX
Just take a look at the Otterbox website. But the only visible difference between the two is the "holster/stand" combo that comes with the Defender. The phone cases are identical.
Sorry, it appears I didn't know what I was talking about. It's not the first time. From viewing the videos on the Otterbox site I was under the impression that except for the plastic screen protector and holster, the two cases' design was identical.
There should be a 12 step program for that. For me it's tablet cases. :biggrin:
Sounds like you and I would be among the first in line!

So which is the case with more protection? The defender or commuter?

I am looking at the commuter as it appears to be less bulky than the defender. Also I really like the Zagg screen protector. How much smaller is the commuter than the defender? I am trying to go holster-less and would like to just put the phone in my pocket. From what I can tell for that purpose alone the commuter would be the better choice. Thoughts?

I put the defender in my pocket. Sticks in and coming out and picks up lint and fuzz. It offers better protection so I deal with it. I don't use the clip it came with.

2nd ! ????????????
Why in all things holy and good would you carry a phone on your hip with the screen out?
Why not just rap it against a table corner or door frame and call it good?
My only objection may be the hand feel, it seems a little bulky. I have the Verizon basket weave 1/2 shell and it works but not full coverage.
Also I have a screen protector don't want another, is it difficult to remove? If I take it out aren't I removing some water protection?
I mean a water resistant phone is a water resistant case seems nearly water proof.
PS from a video I saw and now can't find again, does the Defender's belt clip work as a kick stand, I use the kick stand on my case everyday.

i handled both the defender and comp - comp much smaller plus i have no use for the clip. comp is much less bulkier and comes with a screen protector. defender comes with a plastic cover that you really dont need do to the gorilla glass on the maxx.
comp fits like a glove w/o adding too much bulk.
couldnt be happier with it
Yes it does. You can spin it around so it's lateral, then click the belt clip into a notch, and VIOLA - kickstand!

OK I just got it off Amazon dot comb and wow does it protect the phone. It pops in and out of the belt clip fairly easily but I have to use two hands and actually look at the case. With practice it might get easier. I am thinking about removing the screen protector it does scratch and gives the screen a sparkle like appearance.
