So what's your general feeling about the Commuter vs. the Impact?
I like the look of the commuter much better. The impact is less expensive. What do you lose? I can see the different look, but what would push someone to get the impact instead of the commuter, besides cost?
I have only had the impact, but by looking @ pictures the commuter looks to be a little more rugged, you wont be dissapointed either way though, that I can assure you!
Well, I was willing to settle for a bit less fit and purchased the Commuter for the Tour from Otterbox for about half price. It does not fit the usb port all that well and so I dremelled a bit. The rubber gasket is a not a good fit but - 1/2 price.
It is not quite as easy to remove as a silicone shell. You have the out plastic frame which needs to be levered off a bit and then the rubber inside like a silicone shell - it is kind of a Defender in reverse.
With some tweaking and depending on your "hobby" skills you could probably mate the charging pod and the Commuter encrusted BB. Especially if the pod only supports from below and makes contact from the back.

So the commuter doesn't come off as simply as the Impact, thank you for that clarification, much appreciated
That being said, I think I will go for the commuter. IF I get it, I am doing it knowing that my Seidio charging dock will be put away for a while, with just the wall charger staying behind.
I had said above I might wait to order to see if I win on the next contest, but I will probably just order tomorrow and if I do win, I can work a trade with someone.......
You can check out the Epik case. I have it on 8530 really like also has a holster for it not bulky at all as I've had the otter box defender which is way to bulky.
