    Have Otterbox discontinued the Defender series case for the Z30? I don't see it on their website or anywhere on the web for that matter.

    I believe they have. Haven't seen it on their site in almost two months. I've been tempted to buy another as a backup.

    Where would you buy the other one from? I can't find it anywhere. Of you find a spot let me know please!

    I was going to buy a Z30 since my Z10 is having some issues, but if I can't get a Defender for it, I'll probably just get another Z10. Being a first responder my phone takes a beating. It wouldn't last a week with out an Otterbox.

    Absolutely. I'm a first responder and my Z10 would have died a painful death long ago without the protection of a Defender series.

    Just looked. Currently out of stock on the black. Only 4 of the gray/white available.

    Thanks anyway.

    Looks like they are starting to be a rare thing.
    Too bad.

    Yeah it is a shame. I won't buy a phone if there's no Defender for it, so the Z30 might be our for me.

    The grey on white isn't so bad.
    I have always had defenders on my phones too. Saved them often.
    The playbook too.

    A little too feminine in my opinion. Could be because one coworkers has one on her iPhone.

    I've seen a few on Kijiji here in Toronto. I bought mine off Crackberry when they still had it end of August. I have the grey/white and actually like it. Not too feminine...

    Try these guys in Etobicoke. I bought my defender in black from them. Also got one in for my business partner and his Z30. If they don't have it in stock, they can probably order it for you. Pricing is quite good too.

    Confirmation that Otterbox discontinued the item:
    http://reviews.otterbox.com/8831/rbb...ws/reviews.htm

    So buy them when you can find them I say. And I think the gray and white ones look really sharp.

    +1 on grey/white looking sharp. My one issue with it is that I think the white surrounding the camera lens is throwing off white balance. Especially when the flash is popped.

    I may end up painting that part black.

    Are there any other heavy duty cases that include both a built in screen protector and come with a belt clip?

    Warranty replacements are still being honored by Otterbox. Just received my VZW Z30 replacement case the other day (plastic above the USB port snapped).

    Well that's good anyway. They must have held some stock just for warranty.

    It's one the reasons I've always bought Otterbox. No hassle warranty replacement.

    Just bought an otterbox commuter case from ebay. Used to have one on my bold 9700 and worked really well.

    I've looked at three stores so far. No luck finding a Defender for the Z30.

    Thanks. I'll take a look on Kijiji when I get home.

    I was expecting to at least be able to find some on eBay, but not bupkis.
