Don't get me wrong, i love otterbox defenders. They look great, last a long time. But, i think ive found something better. The griffin survivor, is $35-40 depending on where you get it, and i think it's tougher than the defender. With the price of a commuter, this case seems so much better. The screen protector is a lot better, but the only downfall i've had withthe case is, that its hard to choose a letter on either edge of the keyboard. other than that, it's great! i got the the white silicone/black plastic version and so far it's not showing any damage. My friend used onefor when she went to senior week, she dropped her phone soo manytimes, but, not a scratchon the phone. yet, the girl she went with had an obx defender and she dropped it facedown, waist length, on the sidewalk andthe screen shattered. kinda disappointing? anyway, i think everyone should have a griffin survivor, it might not be the best looking case out there, but it sure gets the job done, and gets it done well!
