I have two Otterbox Defender cases sitting waiting for phones to put in them. They shipped very quickly.
I'm so glad it's coming before we go to WDW.
I've looked at a lot of nice ones online, but many of them don't come with a holster/belt clip, which I need (hate phones in my pocket). I may just wind up with another Defender for the time being.
You don't need an iPhone to do that.I know this is an iOS 6 post, but whatev.
I'm really enjoying the latest update. The GPS is awesome. The ability to add stuff to Facebook without opening the Facebook app is very convenient. I love the shared photo streams. Also, now that I can facetime without Wi-Fi, today I was able to give my niece and nephew a complete tour of Carsland while they sat on their couch across the country.
Lastly, I am addicted to making panoramas.
I did find I had to occasionally run my Defender [without the phone in it] through the dishwasher to clean it up a bit. My son keeps his phone in his pocket and after two years the outer rubber is in very rough shape but still fits snuggly, mine is on a belt clip and is a perfect fit. It's not waterproof at all, so if that's an issue, then go with Lifeproof for sure! The Defender for the iPhone 5 is even worse as far as waterproofing, it has openings for the camera/flash and charger/earphones that are not sealed at all. Since I'm never going swimming with it the Defender is fine for me, but certainly not for someone who would.
Very disappointed that the Apple store had NO accessories. Maybe I would have known this if I'd paid more attention to the news/blogs, but there were no cases, screen protectors, car chargers or extra charge cords in stock. I got screen protectors from Verizon and the iPhone is hanging out in an old iPod sock until my Speck Candyshell case is delivered mid-week (I hope!). Add me to the list of people that will be very nervous until my case comes.
I recently shed the little plastic case I have had on my iPhone 4S and there is something about holding the phone that I am really enjoying. There is something about the texture of holding the device that just feels better than some big plastic wrap.i can't stand cases that make the phone huge... part of the lure of the phone is it's size. Making it huge via case kind of defeats that
The speck cases that wrap around to the front fully are about the extent of my tolerance of extra 'girth'
Apple was only shipping direct for unlocked iPhones. I'm getting mine through Rogers for less than half the price, but that means it goes to the store.
The regular Rogers store that is actually closer to my house isn't getting any phones that were pre-ordered, because they recently moved [three months ago] and aren't in the system yet so they didn't show up as a delivery option.
They really don't seem to care about getting accessories out to their users. I'm not impressed.i can't stand cases that make the phone huge... part of the lure of the phone is it's size. Making it huge via case kind of defeats that

Eh, no thanks. An Apple store employee I talked to last week specifically recommended the Speck Candyshell cases, telling me he likes the ones that wrap around the front a bit since if you drop the phone screen-side down, the case absorbs most of the impact. Makes sense to me...but I agree with you, I don't want to go bigger than a Speck case.
