does anyone know how bulky an otterbox defender case is with this phone and how well it works.
I dropped my phone last night (from my lap to my floor) and it landed face down, now has about 8 SMALL divits in the black earpiece plastic and the screen has around 3 SMALL divits in it and one LARGE divit on the screen, HOWEVER the screen still has the packing plastic on it which i use somewhat as a screen protector, so HOPEFULLY the divits only penetrated the plastic and not the screen itself. i refuse to take off the plastic until i have some kind if a case on it.
Im not usually hard on phones, (had last phone (LG VX8600) for 25 mos. and was never replaced or used ins. on it) however, i want to make SURE this 700.00 retail BB stays in as perfect of condition as possible.
SO if anyone knows anything about that otterbox defender, or a similar case thats just as protective, please let me know so i can get one before i drop my phone a second time

the defender is a good case.. many people have posted about it on here. If you get a bad case they will send you a new one to replace it.. but the protection offered is like no other case out there.
Best protective case on the market - the day I got the Defender I dropped my phone from about 4ft (hadn't done that in years -Thank god for OtterBox) - not a scratch - slightly bulkier that stock but well worth the extra 3-4mm
will it still fit in the carrying case that came with the phone?
No. It comes with a holder for the phone. The whole package offers superior protection for the phone. I does add to the bulk but actually makes it easier to hold IMHO.
I believe that Sprint is now carrying the Otterbox.
Nope - has its own clip case - In my opinion it is safer than the case that comes with the phone - was not happy with the stock magnet clip/leather case - always felt like if the case turned, my Tour would fall out - Its a strong press fit carrier --- You will like it, trust me - In all intensive puposes a 'Brick S House' BlackBerry Tour Cases // BlackBerry Tour 9600 Series Defender Case // OtterBox.com
cool....id order it here but only saving 5 bucks i woulnt see it for a week rather than if i went to the store to buy it., price diff is 45.90 compared to 49.95 @ store locally
well guys, went to local Verizon store i got myself the defender case tonight already, i just didnt trust myself! Anyway, took of packing plastic screen cover, and the 1 big divit did leave like a pin tipped size gouge in the screen but its BARELY noticable and looks almost like a spec of dust.
Also, how do i get all the lint and debris off the otterbox plastic screen cover....i wiped and blew on it and everything and i just cant seem to get it totally clean.
well i had my volumes set on level 6 and i had to bump them up to 8 to compare the loudness prior to otterbox, but i wont complain, its protecting my tour
Yea the case is hard to remove for a battery pull, I got quickpill lite the free app. With that said I removed the otterbox from my Tour. Had it 2 weeks and it is exactly as described but I just coudnt get used to being so bulky, for a construction worker it would be perfect though.
ill be picking one of these up tomorrow for my storm, i just cant shake the feeling that my storm is more fragile than my curve.. i use to be able to toss my curve around unprotected without any problem... but the storm.. just doesnt seem able to withstand that abuse.. im def gonna need an otterbox
