Seems to work great and protects the phone well.

And for those of us who do not use the holster, it can easily be modified to use as a car dock. Since none of the car docks will work with the Defender.

If anyone is interested in how I modified mine, I can take some pics later.

I mounted the holster on to a standard universal suction mount windshield phone holder and used a dremel to put a hole in it so that the power cord can be mounted and plugged in to the phone.

I then use Car Home which stays one when plugged in and has worked very well.
[HTC EVO 3D] doctor ladd:
I have it and love it.

Only complaint is that it is creaky and otterbox never posted my review on their website for some reason. Weird.
[HTC EVO 3D] RootUserDWR:
If you are putting the Defender in your pocket thats cool, but it does come with a hip-holster, belt-clip, kickstand combo thingy too.
[HTC EVO 3D] Rippley05:
It fits much better than the communer but it's so bulky it's comical
[HTC EVO 3D] RootUserDWR:
The Otterbox Defender Series is AWESOME!!!

I have one on my 3vo and one on my dumb brother's iphone 4. Two days ago I accidentally let my bros iphone fly out of my hands while playing in the middle of the street. He immediatly grabbed my 3vo and did the same. He was so mad and I was just laughing. He found out what I already knew about OtterBox Defenders, the cases won't even be scratched and the phones will be totally unharmed.
[HTC EVO 3D] roflmywaffle:
I like my defender case for the most part, but am unhappy with how the screen protector does not actually adhere to the screen and instead is part of the front half of the case. My screen protector looks like it has some scuffs from dust getting behind it and rubbing between the screen and the protector. No marks on my screen itself, but the protector is most definitely scuffed.
[HTC EVO 3D] jcresu8i:
I say its worth it just get it and you will see I just took off the plastic piece because I already have an invisible shield and it works great
[HTC EVO 3D] sandiegopaneraiguy:
Anyone who wants a Defender that has been modified to use with the belt clip as a car dock, let me know... I sprung for the HTC car and desk docks today and ditched the Defender.

Basically the only modifications are the rubber door over the power plug is removed and a hole was drilled out of the holster so that the power plug could be plugged in to the phone through the holster. Also the swivel that is built in the the holster was plastic welded so that it will not swivel

All you would need is one of the universal window mount holders and you have a complete unit.

First person to send me a PM gets it...

I will take some pics if anyone wants to see it.
[HTC EVO 3D] schmeggy929:
I have the Defender and really like it. All the buttons work perfectly and is comfortable in the hand. Its not as bulky as you would think. As far as the holster its gets a thumb down. The release clip is way too long and bulky, it is more annoying and i rather trim it down some.
[HTC EVO 3D] adarict:
I had a question about the Defender. When i bought by Evo 3D, I got the Commuter case, and put on the screen protector that shipped with it. Will I have to remove the screen protector if I put my phone in the Defender, since the Defender already has a built-in screen protector?
[HTC EVO 3D] rulk:
I bought a gps universal car mount at radio shack that works well. Can choose between vent mount and suction cup.
[HTC EVO 3D] jasonb1108:
I ACTUALLY recommend it
[HTC EVO 3D] ninjasnip3r:
It kinda is a shame its so large... BUT WELL worth it for protecting the phone.

I had to remove my case recently (had phone since day it came out) to remove the battery to do some rooting/hboot stuff and it looks 100% new. Yes, I've dropped it a few times. In grass plenty of times, on concrete/asfault maybe 3 or 4 times from about 3-4 ft up in the air.

-Wonderful case, protection is top notch.

-Worth the money. (you can find deals on it)

-Access to all buttons, cutout for speaker.

-Doesn't muffle voice on call or speaker at all. All cameras work fine too.

-Has built in screen protection.

-Only con is its BULKY. But is lightweight. (hold just the case in hand and it weighs nothing)
[HTC EVO 3D] bjw1979:
Has anyone tested their signal strength and download speeds with this case?
[HTC EVO 3D] stanglifemike:
Signal strength is not affected in any way for me
[HTC EVO 3D] pennfire38:
The case rocks, just like any of the others from otterbox. The holster however, SUCKS! On several occasions, the phone has popped out of the holster. Twice, I lost my phone, and the second time, if it hadnt been for a very kind and honest stranger who took the time to call my mom and meet her to return my phone, I would have never seen it again. Im looking for a better solution for the holster, maybe seidio's convert holster might fit it, just got that case and holster, will have to try the holster on the defender when I get home.
[HTC EVO 3D] tat2messiah:
I highly recommend the defender. I had one on the 4g and now my 3d. Best case out there. And the otterbox support is great
[HTC EVO 3D] stanglifemike:
I've heard a few people mention their holster breaking, but I have never hard that happen. I'm a automotive technician and have had the holster get hung on car doors, seats, interior trim, lifts, my toolbox, my rollcart, etc. and it has stopped me in my tracks when walking, getting up, or getting out of a car but it has never broken. Maybe I've just been lucky but mine seems to be rock solid! Not a big deal if it ever does break though because Otterbox will just send me a new, complete case as a replacement. Gotta love their amazing customer service!!!!
[HTC EVO 3D] guitardoc64:
I'm with you on their great customer service. I had an issue with the Defender I had gotten for my Hero and they sent me a brand new replacement. I was able to recoup $150 of the $200 I spent on the 3D. Of course, I spent $50 back buying a defender. :) I'm pretty happy with it. I wish they put mesh over the speaker cutout, and done the top of the screen protector different than a simple cutout but other than that it has survived a couple drops perfectly, with no damage to my EVO 3D and that's what I got it for.
[HTC EVO 3D] spywhite:
Works well.

Keeps out dust, dirt and grime fairly well. When I opened the defender after being around concrete dust for several hours I only found a small amount of crud around the unprotected camera flash.

[HTC EVO 3D] Earbuddy:
+1

as many have said, I also recommend it.

I have a defender for both my evo 3d and my iphone 4

ultimate protection
[HTC EVO 3D] Afro Samurai:
I love it, kinda makes typing on the edges alittle tough but nothing devasting. I have one on my 3D and the Mrs OG. Whenever I have to take it out for a battery pull (Rom freezes,etc), the phone looks like the day I took it out of the box. I also have one on my Ipod Touch as well.
[HTC EVO 3D] Leeboy:
Outstanding! That's all I can say. Been using them for years now on a variety of different phones/pda's. Being in construction concrete/asphalt and being a gadget "geek", I've always had the best phones that Sprint has to offer. However, having to carry them on the job has made me extremely nervous about dropping/scratching them. Several of my phones now have made it thru some severe and not so severe drops and tumbles, and thanks to my Otterbox's (defender series), they have survived without a single nick or scratch! I would definately recommend purchasing one. You gotta figure, if you're gonna spend $300+ on a high end device, what's another $50 or so for a case;)

P.S.>> I have never had an issue with the holster. With either the phone falling out or getting stuck on anything. But, keep in mind, it does make your phone significantly bulkier!
[HTC EVO 3D] aFoodStampBaby:
I recommend it. There has been plenty of times when I've been drunk and dropped my phone and received no damage. Another thing is they offer a warranty that works! I broke my clip and i called and said the spring just fell apart and now they are sending me a new clip but since they are out of stock just for the clip they are sending me a whole outterbox defender no charge. Little FYI.
[HTC EVO 3D] stanglifemike:
Pretty sure they always send out an entire case and not just the defective piece. At least they always have for me and everyone else I've ever heard from. Just so ya know
[HTC EVO 3D] lufc:
Calm Down People

It is only a case no need to fight over a bit of Plastic:)
[HTC EVO 3D] guitardoc64:
For sure. In my personal experience they sent me a brand-new everything. That's why I got one for my EVO 3D. Protection you can count on and a company that stands behind their product with great customer service.

Good choice. I've never had a problem with replacements from Otterbox and this case has been rock solid since I got it.
[HTC EVO 3D] hitman4274:
Yep love my defender rock solid, makes getting to the edges of the phone a bit tuff but worth the protection,

Gotta throw in a vote for my Case-Mate!
[HTC EVO 3D] Jonasmyst:
My Defender case has done a good job since I got the phone (release day) but like some others have said, touching the edge of the screen near the raised case frame around the screen can be a real pain. Plus the screen of the case somehow is all scratched up (rather impressive considering the way it is designed) but the phone inside is pristine so huzzah. And the screen is very responsive with the protector that comes with the case.
[HTC EVO 3D] Gibsonusa:
I had a commuter case and they replaced it three times do to the crappy fit, I sent them another email an very nicely asked if they would send me a defender case instead and they did.
[HTC EVO 3D] didit.here:
i just wondering which is the best case for the 3d defender or commuter, which one is comfortable, simple and tough too??
[HTC EVO 3D] Gibsonusa:
i haven't tried the defender case yet. It should be here on monday, but the commuter case is alright it fits in the pockets of most jeans. The silicon part of the case will be to big. Its not unbearable but im way to picky and it did bother me. its a good case though and holds up well to drops and what not.
[HTC EVO 3D] tokuzumi:
I went with the Impact series. Since it's just a thick silicone sleeve, it's definitely a lint magnet! I just got mine yesterday, so as the oils from my hand "polish" the case, it will get better. But even the lowly impact series feels like a nice quality product. And it came with a screen protector, too. I don't even know the screen protector is on. I don't need the extra protection the other cases offer, but I would buy from otterbox again, for future phones.
[HTC EVO 3D] shoffman00:
Yes! I have it now, and it is great! It has already saved my phone on multiple occasions.

if you have root, go into root explorer and go to system>build.prop open it in text editor and change lcd density to a higher number then save and reboot.

2. Get a handset with an inferior resolution

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Sony Xperia X1:
Does anyone have any suggestions for a good screen protector?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] nmw407:
If it's the same size as the regular MT4G, I recommend the Realook ones

http://www.amazon.com/T-Mobile-MyTouch-Protector-Crystal-REALOOK/dp/B0049SWJ08

it is absolutely fantastic. I have had it on my MT4G for almost a year now and it doesn't have one scratch on it, and it's very smooth.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Ace42:
Nice find, I do need some replacement protectors, the MT4GS's screen is just .1" smaller making it 3.7, but the protectors should still fit pretty good.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Sony Xperia X1:
Does it matter if the screen protector is covering the proximity/light sensor thing on the left of the phone?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] cberbes:
I thought I read that the MTS4G has gorilla glass.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] cal3thousand:
That would be the Sensation 4G, not the 4G slide.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] raduque:
The Realook myTouch4G screen protector doesn't fit the myTouch4G Slide perfectly. It's about a mm too wide. Cut off 1mm and it fits really well, but it's also not really long enough, it doesn't go all the way from the top bezel to the buttons.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] crawsome:
I got a nifty 10-pack of cuttable screen protectors from T-Mobile. $15.00. Cheaper than two pre-cut screens. They come with grid markers so cutting is as easy as tracing a line already drawn.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fr3quency:
I know... a lame question. :( I downloaded the Suave HD .zip file. Now how do I install it? ;_;
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d3l1:
open the .zip, if there is a .mtz file inside, unpack it and move it to sdcard/MIUI/theme

if it doesn't open/isn't a real .zip, rename it to .mtz and move it to sdcard/MIUI/theme

Now the MIUI Theme Manager will recognize it and you can apply it via said manager (Settings -> something :) )
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Belvadier:
So yesterday I rooted and flashed my G2 with Virtuous G-Lite and it works great. Much more responsive and snappy...

However I was told that this is the best ROM to use for a longer battery life but the battery seems to drain just as much or more than before...

Battery monitor says display is using most of the battery, but even during times of standby the battery seems to drain.

Is there anything I can do to figure out where all my battery is going? I just got the phone 3 days ago from a warranty exchange with a new battery so I doubt it's the battery itself.

Also, sometimes the wifi reception is really poor despite being right next to my router and it was also not bad before I changed to g-lite. is there anything I can do to help wifi reception? My browser seems to have a hard time loading web pages fully but I think it's due to the instability of the wifi signal, although if there is a known problem with the browser on g-lite...i'm just not sure.

If there is a specific app that is killing my battery how would I find out which one it is? Gmail is the only thing that I have auto-syncing to the best of my knowledge. are there other common offenders that might be doing me in?

Any help greatly appreciated!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xT4Z1N4TRx:
Ive heard glite 1.0.3 drains battery loads. 1.0.2 has been known for great battery though. Try that.

[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] thesoundofsilence:
Hello,

I have an LG P500H that according to the settings menu is currently on Android version 2.2

I've read in countless places that this device is eligible to be upgraded to an official 2.3. Through the LG support tool a notice displays there is an available update which im assuming is the 2.3 itself.

My question is with regards to rooting. I have located a thread about rooting this device on 2.2 firmware but nothing specifying any process for 2.3. If I root on 2.2 my assumption is I will lose my root once I upgrade. How would I go about rooting this device on official 2.3 firmware.

Thanks to everyone for reading.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here I will list the only post I've found referencing this involving rooting through ADB. Can anyone confirm? Or suggest a safer method to ensure success with no issues? The post is as follows:

The LG Optimus One P500 is the one of the best budget Android phones around. Now it can be updated to Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread, then the purpose of writing this article is to help you to root stock gingerbread in an easy way. LG Android Phones

How to root Android 2.3 Gingerbread on LG Optimus One P500:

1. Read everything first and after do what is necessary:

What Is ADB and How To Install It With Android SDK, please go to here.

INSTALLING ANDROID SDK ON YOUR WINDOWS PC from here)

Don’t forget to restart your PC after installations. LG Phone Problem and Solution

2. Download and install SuperOneClick. You can download the tool from here.

3. In adb:

adb devices

adb shell

echo 1 > /data/local/lge_adb.conf

After that open SuperOneClick and root using pneuter. Reboot phone and update Superuser from Market.

This instruction works fine on my LG Optimus One, I had some problems updating superuser, kept force closing, but after restart, it works. hit thanks if this was useful for you.

EDIT: So I try to update software through LG support tool. The first screen of the tool checks the software and says there is an update available. Doesn't specify what version. When the option to start the update is selected the second tool launches and says device is not able to be updated. Another question would be what exactly is going on with that? and how to go about getting the official 2.3 on this P500H. Thanks.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] thesoundofsilence:
This is ridiculous.

I check the TELUS website which is the carrier for my device. Turns out the only "update" listed on their end is 2.2.1 and the instructions stated my device needed to upgrade as I was running 2.2

So I go ahead and update my device and everything completes as the instructions stated.

Well, now the phone is stuck in a bootloop at the android logo and will not go further. Thanks TELUS.

Edit: Hard reset fixed this issue, now running 2.2.1. Getting really fed up with this so called official 2.3 that I can not seem to get. Anyone with answers please assist.

Thank you for the link. I looked over the thread and noticed that the post mentions v20g and v20c versions for download.

I'm guessing these are international versions as I have checked my phones About menu and noticed I have a software version listed as LG-P500H-v10s

How would this impact installing official 2.3 or is there anywhere I can acquire a version for my device.

Thanks
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Arjen:
Doesn't really matter which one you use ;)

V20c is unbranded, don't know about v20g.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] thesoundofsilence:
Would it be correct to say that the reason I cant get this software update through the LG Support Tool or on my Canadian carriers website is because it isn't offered at this time by my specific carrier?

Therefore its been put out mainly to international carriers, hence why I would have to use an unbranded generic firmware? Just wanted to inquire so that when I complete the flash I'm fully educated as to which version I'll be using. Does anyone happen to know if NFC (near field communication) is supported in this unbranded version?

EDIT: Just to add. There appears to be a notice at the bottom of the page mentioning no 2G/3G data - wait for new release. Is this relative to the official 2.3?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] thesoundofsilence:
So I am experiencing much lag on the 2.2.1 firmware that I am currently running ton this P500H for these reasons I will be attempting to flash to the official 2.3 in hopes of better performance.

Looking to clarify some instruction from the OFFICIAL LG GB thread listed in one of the responses. The tutorial states to flash "the russian way" and provides a HOW TO for using the LG DMP tool. In the tutorial the method says "This HOWTO is for users who want to switch from stock LG 2.3.3 ROM to CM7 or other older ROMs that are NOT based LG's on v20 ROM or vice versa"

My question with the statement is how does it impact the fact that Im on a stock 2.2.1 not flashing to a CM7 or vice versa. Which baseband would I be using as I am not sure what exactly this 2.3 is based on and I am running a v10s.

My guess is I would download the second baseband file in the thread listed as "- P500-v20G-baseband.7z is for official v20[abdg....] ROMs and ROMs based upon it (e.g., GingerLOL, v20G stock ROM, customized v20G ROM, 0x0v3rfl0w ROM and GingerCriccoROM)." and then flash the v20g 2.3 firmware.

If anyone can elaborate so that I dont brick this device when flashing

Another part of the article says "Eventually, all new ROMs will switch to new baseband by default, so it is useful as well if you want to avoid the complete KDZ/Russian way flash which wipes everything." Would this mean flashing "the russian way" with .kdz file would mean not having to change the baseband in the LGDMP tool. Kind of like an all in one solution instead of a drawn out process? I found a post with instructions for KDZ updater but dont have a file for 2.3 android to flash. What is the suggested method and steps? If anyone can clarify
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] RockR172:
Move this to General section..!!

Guess this should be in the General section and not in development..

Theres a kdz file of europe and russian version on xda.. search for it.. flash it usin kdz and you are done.. you get new baseband and then root using superoneclick.. you will lose your data.. but you can back it up using titanium backup.. flash recovery n den you are ready to use any of the new custom romz.. they perform well in quadrants.. not as much as those developed by our heroes like mik andy and all.. but for a stock rom those values are good.. i reverted back to miks cyanogenmod for itz performance.. anyway, if you want a stable, ALMOST bug free rom, go in for stock 2.3.3... there are minor bugs.. like status bar icons not alligned and stuff but you can manage with it... ;)

About 2-3 times a hour, the screen will turn itself on and display the lockscreen, then go back to sleep if i don't touch it.. I always think i'm receiving a text message or something and it's getting annoying.

I'm on VR 2.3, but I also had this problem on Lite'ning, so i don't think it's rom dependent. Could any of these apps be the issue? I've frozen a bunch of them tho and it didn't help.
