Otterbox Defender Watermark help.

I just today put my verizon iphone 4 in the otterbox defender. (yes the one that works with bot at@t and verizon iphone 4) I left my front zagg invisibleshield on because i hear it fixes the watermark problem, but my defender still has a BAD watermark issue. Any ideas?

Invisibleshield is not compatible with the Defender. The new Defenders don't have the watermark issue.

Otterbox Defender: Fuzzy Screen?

Hello all. I've been searching through the various discussions here and don't see anything that specifically addresses my concern. If this has been asked before and I've somehow overlooked the answer, apologies in advance. Here goes:
Just got my iPhone 4S and my new 4S Otterbox Defender case. When the phone is inside the case, the screen looks perpetually "fuzzy" and rainbowy. Unlike the watermark and oil slicks I've been reading about, there are no singular spots of distortion or "slick." It's simply that the entire screen looks distorted. After a call to Otterbox, I was advised to try a few different things. Here's what I've done so far:
1) The baby powder trick. The powder had absolutely zero effect.
2) Viewing the screen from the reverse side of the protector (apparently, these are sometimes installed backwards). Screen looked the same.
3) Cleaned both sides of the screen protector with a microfiber cloth. No effect.
When looking at the screen protector directly (without being attached to the iPhone), I can see tons of "speckles" (ultra tiny specks that almost look like static) covering the surface of the protector. I'm not sure if this is how these protectors are supposed to look, but I wonder if it could be related to the fuzzy look and rainbow distortion I am experiencing?
As I am new to iPhones and Otterbox cases, I'm hoping someone out there will be able to assist. Normally I'd just send the case back and get a new one but I'm going on a trip tomorrow and need to protect the phone while I'm traveling. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. It is most appreciated.

The one I got yesterday is the exact same way, looks terrible next to an iphone 4s that has no cover screen.

Clear screen protector under Otterbox Defender?

I have an Otterbox Defender for my IPad (4th Gen) with an additional anti-glare screen protector underneath the Otterbox one, but the ant-glare is ruining the retina display. Does anyone who have an Otterbox have a clear screen protector under? If so, does it create watermarks? Thanks in advance!

I have an Otterbox Defender Case on my iPad 3 with a retina display. There is absolutely no reason to use a screen protector on the iPad itself, because the Defender has one built in. When my iPad is asleep and the screen is black, I can see the "watermarks" if I look at the iPad on an angle. I see no "watermarks" at all otherwise.
Surely you cannot expect to have the same retina clarity if you use a screen protector, but my screen is still very clear and crisp even with the built in screen protector. Take the screen protector off of the iPad screen. That's overkill and you are ruining the view of the display that way.
Just my two cents ....

LifeProof or Otterbox Defender Case

I really need some help deciding between the Lifeproof or Otterbox Defender case for the iPhone 4s. Please!

LIFEPROOF BUYER BEWARE! If you are considering a case for your iPhone know that lifeproof has the WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE! One example, Purchased a lifeproof 4s pink case for Christmas present for $80. My daughter just broke phone so we purchased iPhone 5. Instead of returning unopened Sealed case asked to switch to a different color for my sons phone( said any color that isn't a girl color). Was told that they would not and never do give color exchanges for any reason. I couldn't believe I wasn't even asking for a refund JUST a color change.
Contacted LIFEPROOF about issue On phone for an hour explaining what ridiculous policy this is.
I just purchased between sister and myself four iPhone 5' s for Christmas. I explained that I will be buying all OTTER BOX for my phones. He said sorry that is their policy.
Went to AT&T with the receipt from their store and asked to exchange for different color they could see the box was sealed and said sorry they can't change color it is lifeproof policy. I have never heard of something soooo ridiculous. I have heard many bad stories from friends about their customer service and some damage problems not to mention I once purchased a lifeproof on amazon only to find out it was counterfeit. That is not their fault but just something to be worried about when purchasing a lifeproof. If you aren't sure go OTTERBOX

OtterBox Defender series. Cause of Multiple Issues.

So i recently got an OtterBox Defender series case for my iPod touch to keep it a bit more protected. After puting it on, IIrealized that my back faceing camera is unresponsive, and so is the front faceing camera. Weather I use the included camera app, or Camera+, it doesent work, at all.
Anouther issue wouldbe that the top left hand corner of my iPod touch...is extreamly... sensitive. Like if I touch it with a little bit to much force, it looks like it distorted, and blurs. It seems like it's about to crack if i press it.

Whomever told you about this forum was wrong. We are iPhone users trying to help others with iPhone hardware problems. This is not a chat room and we are not here to discuss the best case for your iPhone. As much as we sympathize with your situation, this is not the place for that discussion.

Otterbox Defender Case of iPhone 4S

I bougth a Otterbox Defender and used it for 1 week............it is great for iPhone protection but in the included holster (plastic), it is just too bulky to carry around on the belt. Love the protection...hate the bulkiness.
Now bought a very thin rubber case that adds very little to thickness or weight. Need a holster that will fix the iPhone 4S. Tried the BB case and the width is A-OK but the length is too short.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Oh, and make me an offer for the Otterbox plus shipping and it's your for a decent offer.

I have no problem with eBay. Just offering if someone on this forum wanted a real good deal.
But, I digress. Googling what??? Holster with rubber casing around iPhone 4S? You try it and see what you get. I tryed it.
If you want to give info........please try and give useful info.
I asked a question and if anyone had done this before they would have the information to help. Your info is useless. No one needs a SA remark.
But, I will thank you anyway.

Otterbox Defender defect

Using the Otterbox Defender for my iPhone 3GS. I love it but I can't hear my calls that well, even w/ volume up as high as it will go. Will removing the thin white membrane from the top help fix this problem?

Should you put a screen protector on the iphone if the case is going to be a otterbox defender?

I am trying to figure out if I need a screen protector on my iphone 4s if I am using a Otterbox Defender. The salesman suggested I should but I know a lot of people who do not use any screen protection on other cases/shells.

I never used a screen protector while my iPhone was in the Defender case. The Otterbox case is engineered to protect your device. I'm not sure why the salesman suggested you use both. I used the Otterbox Defender case for a little over a year and my iPhone was flawless when I removed it. Hope this helps.

Should I use a Screen Protector with Otterbox Defender or Griffin Survivor?

I bought both of these rugged cases and keep hearing that the actual cases can scratch the phones. Should I use a screen protector on the phone face and back as well? I assume that may not fit in the cases if I do that. Anyone have any experience with these cases?

I have the Ghost Armor (same as ZAGG's invisibleSHIELD) installed on my Iphone and my otterbox defender will be here today (anytime) I will let you know how it goes or how it fit as soon as my defender get delivered by FedEx.
Do you have the shield on the front and back? I read they do not fit in the Otterbox with both. I would bet one side may fit. I think if you use a thin one like the Verizon site has (PureGear Display Protectors) on the front I bet it will fit. I have the Survivor case and have not head a chance to try the shield with it. I got the phone, and first threw it in that case. I know what to get a shield on it if possible. Please let me know if it fits.

Iphone 5 Otterbox Defender Case...Only Black?

So they are showing an otterbox defender case for the Iphone 5 on verizons website but the only color is black, but right below the description they show part numbers for the other colors. Any reason they are not offering the other colors yet, they are all over the otterbox site already and i get a good discount here at verizon that i would like to take advantage of.

I preordered mine from Otterbox. They sent an email last week and I ordered immediately. I liked the color (aqua) and I got the commuter series (I had the Defender, but it is way to bulky for me). I think it is worth it not to deal with the hassle of a store unless you live in an area where you think there will be a good supply. Good luck.

Otterbox defender case sometimes prevents touch screen operation

My Droid charge screen goes black during or at the end of a phone call and no amount of touching the screen or pushing the buttons on the phone anywhere makes any difference. I have to take the rubber covering off and open the Otterbox case to get the screen to light back up. Everything on the screen is exactly where it would have been without the case when I do this and I can close the phone conversation and get the phone back to the main screen, then put it all back together in the case again. I could understand if the Otterbox screen was too thick to allow me to touch the phone pad keys on the screen, but why can't any of the external buttons override this for me? It doesn't happen all the time, but enough to make it somewhat annoying, as the phone call remains connected until I get thru the process of removing it from the case. Someone on the other end has probably been the recipient of some carefully chosen epithets as I struggled to get the phone call disconnected from my end, I'm sure.
I'm happy with this phone, don't get me wrong, but I need to know if anyone else has had this experience and how they are dealing with it. I have to use the phone in my construction work, so the Otterbox is also a necessity.

Has anyone else had trouble with screen sensitivity on the Otterbox Defender case for the iPhone 3GS? I've had mine on for a few days and have a hard time getting the screen to respond when I try to touch buttons on the edges of the screen.
Are you saying that removing the phone from the Otterbox solves this problem? Very strange, if so.

Should I keep the Otterbox Defender screen protector for iPhone 4S

Hello everyone! I have a quick question. I own a Otterbox Defender for my iPhone 4S and was thinking about removing the built in screen protector and replacing it with a Invisible Sheild from Zagg. Do you guys think I should do this? Also do you think a full body Zagg can protect my iPhone without a case? Let me know your thoughts and opinions! Thank you!

I originally used the Otterbox Defender with my 4S, and I immediately removed the built-in screen protector. I didn't like the way it felt when using the touch screen. Instead, I applied a screen protector directly to the screen. (I can't remember the brand since it's been almost two years.) I didn't care about dust protection. I just cared about impact protection.
After a few months, I ditched the Defender because it was too bulky. I've used an Incipio case since then and my phone still looks like new.

Calling on all Otterbox Defender owners

Hi all,
After waiting patiently for two weeks, I received my Otterbox Defender for my iphone 3Gs. I'm not sure if this is a design oversight or a production issue or none at all.
Please take a look at the side of your Otterbox Defender and tell me if you see a square "flap" on the bottom "oval" hinge where the silicone "wraps' around. I'll try to explain again, without the silicone on the otterbox, if you take a look at the sides of the plastic casing, you'll see an "oval" shaped prong that juts out of the sides; obviously, designed for the silicone layer to "wrap" around. Well, please take a closer look at the 3rd bottom one and tell me if you see a very small exactly square "flap" on the inner part of the oval ring. I'm not sure what the purpose of this "flap" is for? I'm guessing if the "flap" is not there for you guys, than it's llooks like "flap" was not cut out during the oval removal process of the silicone case. I've done my best to describe, a picture is worth a thousand words, sigh. Thanks.

Thanks, Chris.
For a moment there, after initially reading your response, you didn't understand what I was trying to get at. But, after reading your response carefuly again, I managed to "tuck" the little "square" into the "oval" pieces on the side. Interestingly enough, when I was applying the silicone, the upper two ovals manage to tuck themselves in. In my case, and in question, the bottom oval one didn't and that's why I was puzzled as to what this "square" silicone pieces was hanging off. It was a matter of inserting it into the oval piece. Problem solved. Otterbox should mention this in their instructions.
After having used the Otterbox defender for a bit, I have one complaint. The sound port is a bit too tad muffled. In their design to cover the sound port at the bottom, it has effectively reduced the sound to a significant degree. I now have to have the sound volume at Max just to listen when I make a call using the speaker phone.

Please recommend a good case w/ belt clip till the otterbox defender....

comes out.
I just got a email saying my phone should be In tomorrow & I need a good,protective case w/ a belt clip to hold it In untill the Otterbox defender case comes out for the iPhone 4.
Please recommend a good case.

Does anybody know of a leather flip case with a belt clip? The Otterbox is nice, but it still leaves the screen facing everyone when it's on the belt; I'd rather cover it, if only for privacy reasons.
I'm using Proporta's Aluminium Lined Leather case with my 3G, but their iPhone 4 version (http://www.proporta.com/F02/PPF02P05.php?tid=5140&tmode=des) omits the clip for some bizarre reason.
At this rate I might see if simply putting a bumper on my phone will let it fit the existing case, though I'll have to cut a bit out of the back if I want to use the flash, of course
