I am looking into buying one of these two cases...anybody had any time spent with either of them? i like the stand on the defender, but i've heard it doubles the weight of the iPad almost....please share your comments

The commuter is prettier, more compact, and is good for moderate protection. The defender does exactly what the name implies plus the stand is a bonus, but it is definately bulky and not too attractive. I would personally go with the commuter with a stand purchased separate. The defender in my opinion is overkill unless your doing construction or something similar.
