I ordered mine the other day when I read about it in one of the other 2 Otterbox threads in this forum. Even had the same code and everything. You didn't even have to search for it before you posted this thread. It's still on the first page.
[HD2 Accessories] Susasama:
Ordered mine the other day as well. I'm curious though, i got an invoice from them telling the details of my purchase, but, I have yet to receive shipping info, nor has the money come out of my bank account. Essentially i bought the case, they said thanks for buying, and haven't heard anything since....

edit: damnit, meant to post this in the other thread.. that i already posted in

Bought mine (defender) off of ebay the other day for $45.95 and got it Saturday... love it.
[HD2 Accessories] donkeypunch85:
Is your phone T-MOUS? I ordered one on ebay the other day and it said on the package "fits T-Mobile Version" but when I went to install it, nope. Not at all. The seller on ebay then was no help, he just said "contact Otter" after I sent him a page long letter. I did contact Otter and now waiting on a response. A week has gone by... Not looking good.

Thx for the coupons it worked for 10% off and free shipping, mine should b arriving today, and on eBay they now have in stock the slipgrip car holders for the defender mobile u.s version hopefully its a good holder.. such a hard decision. Picking which case.
[HD2 Accessories] jay_jay_n:
just got it now i love it just annoying cleaning the screen lol =)
[HD2 Accessories] crisisinthecity:
I ordered a Commuter today from Otterbox. Found one on Amazon that says it's the US version for way less, but decided to get it from the people who made it. I can see people trying to pass their international version off to move it cheap because those aren't in high demand, then telling people to contact Otter.

Otter Box isn't going to do anything. It's the seller's responsibility. Get online and figure out the measurements of the international one and measure yours... If it's the same then he probably shipped you the wrong thing. If you paid with paypal and the dude won't do anything about it, I would get a refund through PP.

What did the packaging say? Did it specify US on the packaging?
[HD2 Accessories] Segnaro:
Bought one on ebay that says TMOUS and authorized reseller. We'll see. :D

My best offer of $40 got autoaccepted.
[HD2 Accessories] ZuluWarrior:
For those of you with a defender series but not sure if its the euro version or us, I have found way to tell for certain which it is. On the flap that covers the charge port and headset jack, there is an imprint that states which it is. Mine says US Version on the underside of it.
[HD2 Accessories] ddgarcia05:
The hard shell also says it on both pieces.
[HD2 Accessories] Triumph 955i:
that is funny because I have the US version on my t-mo, and my bro has the euro version on his and the case is practically identical in every way.
[HD2 Accessories] Pandemoniumone:
Thanks for the code, the 10% worked great!
[HD2 Accessories] philosophy72:
I just ordered my defender case on amazon for 33.65 with free shipping. It states that its the U.S. version. I will find out monday when i receive it.

Definitely worth it. It does state us version on the flap that covers the charging port.
[HD2 Accessories] KellySD:
Hey Folks, Otterbox Defender with holster is simply the best case available for hipside travel. Yes it makes the phone much larger, and you won't be happier for that fact when/if you ever drop it. I found that the screen protector in this case is thick and robs accuracy and sensitivity. Remove the screen protector, and use an after market non-glare protector and BAM! swypes and taps work the first time you take a poke at them.
[HD2 Accessories] Bucfan420:
Going by their site i can't tell the difference between the commuter and defender series. it says they both have 3 layers and a screen protector. does the defender have more silicon?
[HD2 Accessories] Pandemoniumone:
The pictures of the two cases on their site pretty much say it all bro. Google the two cases and you'll find some demonstrations of the different sizes and what they look like as well.
[HD2 Accessories] Boopman:
Here are some thoughts on the OtterBox Defender:

1. It does add a bit of “heft” and size but I don’t see that as a problem for the protection it provides. It also allows you to have a more secure grip and is more comfortable.

2. I like leaving the built-in screen protector in place.

a. While it does not make the case water “proof” it does protect the edge of the screen from droplets and a light splash.

b. In my environment (Iraq) which is a dirty dusty place the attached screen protector does keep the pervasive dust from getting inside the case.

c. It does take a bit of “practice” to get the touch right as the screen protector is a bit off of the screen but that is not difficult to learn after a short while.

d. The outside of the screen protector cleans up fairly easily and doesn’t seem to scratch easily. I use the “hot breath” and Kleenex to clean the surface.

e. It is not difficult to install as it is attached to the cover so there are no bubbles or wrinkles.

3. The external belt case adds a lot of protection and allows the HD2 to be stored screen in to protect it.

4. The belt clip on the holder rotates 360 degrees with solid ratchet stops and appears quite sturdy.

5. The belt clip when pressed down all the way has a catch that allows the external case to be a desktop holder in both portrait and landscape orientation at a good angle. In landscape the power cord can be attached so if you are watching a movie it will stay charged. In portrait you could put the HD2 in upside down and utilize the power cord on top and flip the screen 180 degrees with a utility. The release device works smoothly to return the clip to the closed flat position.

6. It provides some protection for the camera lens and flash with an elevated area and a clear plastic cover over both of them. There’s a small speaker grill that may not have a function but it looks nice.

7. Looks and style – completely subjective here but I think it enhances the looks and makes the device look much more substantial and high-end. The outer neoprene cover fits well and I like the look of the all black buttons instead of the red and green.

8. Shipping to APO address here in Iraq only took a week.

Any downsides?

1. The instructions are just pictures and not bad but I still took it apart and put it together a couple of times without the HD2 in it to make sure I saw where the catches and detents were on the case.

2. There was no mention of using the case as a desktop stand. I just stumbled on that playing with the external case. I actually thought I broke it when the clip stayed open. But now YOU know.
[HD2 Accessories] apallohadas:
I'm going to pretend that I knew there was a stand before reading your post...

Yup, just going to pretend I didn't just find it....

Just ordered the Commuter. Coupon in first post still works, thanks!
[HD2 Accessories] jlczl:
Found what might be a design flaw with the Commuter case. The hard plastic seems weak right below the cutout for the camera and flash. It gets thicker right below that part.

Yesterday my case snapped in half at that point while I was removing the case.

Good thing there customer service is excellent though. I immediately called them and within a couple of minutes they sent me a replacement along with an e-mail acknowledging my complaint and replacement status. I'm wondering if this is a known problem and if the replacement will be the same or an updated design.
[HD2 Accessories] yrg:
Has anyone noticed that the Defender case is so easy to attract dust?

How do you normally clean the case, and keep the case clean, especially the camera lens protector?
[HD2 Accessories] BIOYAM:
FYI: I just received the US version of the Commuter series from NewEgg for $24.99 with free 3 day shipping (and no tax for most). The following is the link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16875992348

They also have the US version of the Defender series for $32.99 with free 3 day shipping here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16875992348

I hope this info is helpful to someone! ;)
[HD2 Accessories] apallohadas:
Well are you putting it in your pocket? Can't say I'be had a dirt problem yet, but I dis remove the screen protecter that came with it.
[HD2 Accessories] djwurm:
exact same thing happen to mine! the area right below the camera cracked then snapped in half when I took it off to hard reset the phone after a lock up.

I did not call them but sent an email from the site. I havent heard from them yet.. I guess I should call!
[HD2 Accessories] jlczl:
Just got the replacement. It looks to be the same design, we'll see if this one lasts. If it snaps too I'm either requesting a refund or a Defender. Hopefully it was just a bad batch cuz I really like the Commuter.
[HD2 Accessories] Pandemoniumone:
I don't take mine off very often but when I do I'll keep in mind to not put much pressure in that area. I prefer the Commuter over the Defender as well, love this case.
[HD2 Accessories] djwurm:
Well I called otterbox about my cracked commuter case. The lady on the phone stated it is policy that you have to send in pictures of the cracks with your name and date written on paper in the pictures.

I told her that I can do that but I have to bend the case to show the cracks as they are not all the way across. This will probably cause the case to snap and I wont be able to use it at all until a replacement.

She stated it was new policy and she could not issue a new one without pictures. Well I took pics today and in the process of trying to bend the case putting it in the frame of the picture with the name and date the bottom cracked as well. As seen in the second pic... I am asking them to upgrade me to the defender. I dont want another commuter that is just gonna snap at the camera area.
[HD2 Accessories] madrabbitt:
What happened to CaliCL9's steve job's like response telling us that there is no design flaw and we're just using it wrong?

Also, I got my replacement today, which was pretty quick, i had sent them the pics wednesday afternoon, got a shipping notification friday.

Same design. This time i'm looking at it closely, and im seeing where the defect might be.

Largest problem i see, is that i swap between the two, defender when i'm at work, commuter when i'm not... I'll just be more careful with it. Plus, I'm picking up a second HD2, one that already has broken glass, so I'll probably put that one in the defender full time.

I do think theres a design flaw there, and am going to point them towards this thread.

[HD2 Accessories] jlczl:
So disappointed with the Commuter. My replacement case broke also. I called Otterbox and I'm getting a refund. I've always liked Otterbox so I ordered a Defender from Buy.com and hope it doesn't have the same quality issues as the Commuter.
[HD2 Accessories] madrabbitt:
The defender is awesome. Lives up to the standards that i put my equipment thru.

I'm being careful as hell with my new commuter, so far so good, but its only been a week.
[HD2 Accessories] Boopman:
Another neat thing I just discovered about the Defender System.

Because the hard case will hold the HD2 either face in or face out and the belt clip stays open to serve as a stand you can face the camera out, put it on a table, set the self-timer and back up and take better self portraits than holding it in front of you.
[HD2 Accessories] wearefree:
Does anyone else find that the built-in screen protector for the defender case annoying? Two things that really bother me:

1. Water marks. It can be fixed using baby powder but it creeps back every couple of days. And with baby powder applied, the screen doesn't look as clean at all.

2. Screen sensitivity drops, especially at the corner. Since the "x" button is at the corner it's difficult to close apps with the screen protector on.

I wind up removing the screen protector after a few weeks. Simply popping it out then used a little gasoline to clean up the residual glue. The youtube video "hd2 scratch test" convinced me that my precious HD2 doesn't need a screen protector. Or could I be wrong?
[HD2 Accessories] madrabbitt:
it bugs me because i have a ZAGG screen protector as well, so the two dont play nice.

I've considered removing it, just havent gotten around to it
[HD2 Accessories] bogdatov:
I had Defender before. Sensitivity drops, especially when typing. And corners ... hard to reach. I have PS1 emulator which requires me to hit the corner PRECISELY ... what a pain.
[HD2 Accessories] :
I am looking for two otterbox Defender holsters, if anyone has one (or two!), PM me. I am also willing to get the Defender case as well, any condition.

Thank you!
[HD2 Accessories] crisisinthecity:
Those videos are bull****, unless my phone came in contact with diamonds without me knowing it. :)

The screen will scratch. I don't know about deep scratches but I used mine without a screen protector for a while, (I do prefer not to use one), and I got two faint scratches on my screen... They aren't even a big deal, but I was babying it and I figured if it's going to get light scratches when I'm babying it, then I better just use a screen protector. The matte screen protectors that T-Mobile sells for the HD2 work really well, don't get greasy. I suggest picking up some of those. I have the Otterbox Commuter case and am using the screen protector that came with it.
[HD2 Accessories] madrabbitt:
And, the second commuter i had (this is the replacement they sent) has started to crack in the same area.

Since this phone is getting replaced in early november, i'm just going to cut the plastic screen protector out of my defender (phone has a zagg on the screen) and use that full time until then...
[HD2 Accessories] wearefree:
Too bad I didn't see this your post until today... I must say now I'm enjoying my super-sensitive screen without any protector :)

I have been very careful with my phones, strictly no other object in the same pocket with the phone. I have also been using the belt clip from defender case with the screen face inside so the screen is also protected that way. I used TP2 for 14 mon without protector and not a single scratch so I don't suppose the HD2 will suffer from that.

Thank you for the advice anyway. I'll be more careful with my phone in the future.
[HD2 Accessories] :
I am one of the early adopters of the HD2 Commuter Case. I also experienced cracking after replacing my SIM card after traveling. I called up Otterbox Customer Service and they had me take some photos of the issue with a sheet of paper with my name and date on it in the background.

We'll see how the second case holds up...for now, the Commuter seems to be the only realistic medium duty case out there. A couple of my friends have the Seidio Innocase for their Evo 4G's but those also seem to have their own cracking problems. I'd hate to have to use just the HTC silicone case, but we'll see what happens.
[HD2 Accessories] unixman2000:
Just bought the Commuter case..

I have used the Otterbox Commuter case for about 3 weeks now, Generally I am happy about the product. I had a screen protector from T-Mo on my phone already so I did not use the screen protector that came with the case.

Pros: The soft silicon sleeve inside a hard plastic shell gives quite good protection against shock/bumps/scratches. I like the raised ridge around the camera lens, helps protect the lens when you place the phone camera side down on any surface. The soft rubber flap that covers the headphone and micro usb ports on the bottom of the phone is also a nice touch.

Cons: The raised vertical ridges on the middle body of the case are supposed to help your grip but I found the case felt "slick" or "slippery" when I held it in my hand. I really felt it could slip easily thru my hand vertically in the direction of the raised ridges. I think Otterbox could improve this by using a cross-hatch pattern instead of just vertical ridges. You should not get this case if you plan to swap batteries/memory cards a lot. The case is hard to take off and I would guess the stress of removing the case many times can cause cracks.

Overall, I like the case. It does the job I want it to do.

I have suffered a double whammy on my desire, after a running froyo for a week last saturday I suddenly had a low memory storage warning and subsequently my gmail,contacts and calander sync stopped. After transferring all the apps I could to the SD card and removing trivial apps I got up to 16meg phone memory and sync began to work again. Yesterday phone memory reduced again and sync stopped, deleted more apps sync started to work but looking at my gmail on the laptop to confirm emails were up to date my browser version declared my account had been put into lockdown due to unusual activity WTF:mad:

Today memory back down to 11meg, sync stopped again, deleted a few more apps (ones I wanted) then updated facebook for android and suddenly 100meg of memory appeared :D. Calendar and contacts sync fine, gmail started to sync and looked to be up to date, however refresh bar in Gmail Widget continues to show loading conversations and sync symbol is flashing. Decided to have a look from the laptop again sure enough emails were up to date, came out of the inbox on my laptop to look at the calandar to check that and no problem. Tried to go back into my inbox on the laptop and up popped the good old Account Lockdown due to unusual activity please come back in 24hours :mad:

Now I am realy peed off I was just about to clean up my inbox as there are quite a lot of old emails in there but cannot access the account on line.

Does any one have any ideas cos I do not know where to go next.

I only have my one gmail account xxxx@gmail.com (migrated from @googlemail.com had to wipe and reset my phone for that one a couple of months ago :mad: thanks google)
[Desire General] jamesmcuk:
check your sent items and see if some spam bot is sending out kak from your gmail account. Either way change your gmail password just to be on the safe side.
[Desire General] Chang:
Got back into Gmail account after the lockdown and deleted 580 emails got down to 10. On my desire the loading conversations still shows constantly when looking at my inbox even though there are no more conversations other than those showing, the sync icon was not showing on the notification bar.

All seemed well for a week then this morning noticed my phone was running hot in my pocket, looked at it and the sync icon was on in the notification bar. Looked at the sync menu and lo and behold Gmail was continually refreshing, this managed to kill my battery after a couple of hours. Checked on my work computer and Gmail account seemed fine, put phone in car dock on way home and sync icon came up again on gmail. Got home and checked on laptop and Gmail account is locked down again.

Any ideas peeps.
