i just got the otterbox and it's a nice case, the only concern i have is the built in screen protector...eventually it may need replaced and only way i see to replace it is cut it out with a knife. The removable shell with clip also works as a stand, comes in handy if watching a video or using your gps sitting on your dash. The rubberized skin would definately absorb a short fall and protect the phone, which is the main reason i bought it.
