Works Great With iPhone 4S Nov 17, 2011
By Johnny V First of all, if you want to protect your iPhone, this is a terrific case. If you want sleek and flashy, keep looking. Don't get me wrong, I like the way the phone looks with the Otterbox on it but there just are not any sequins or monograms.
This is really two cases in one, or, a case with a rubberized cover. When you open the package, you will notice a plastic "clam shell" case that you snap over the phone. The second part of the case is the rubberized cover which wraps around the phone. The negative BUT NECESSARY results about this case is that it will double the thickness of the phone and make it heavier. This case includes a shield that protects the screen so no need to buy those expensive screen protectors. The only exposed area of the phone are the holes for the speakers, microphones, and camera lens.
When I first put the case together, I thought the same as the previous reviewer that the earphone jack hole was in the wrong place. That assumption is incorrect. The hole on the top of the phone is for the secondary, noise-cancelling, built in microphone. The earphone jack is intended to be covered when not in use in order to keep dirt from getting into the hole for the jack. Just like the power cord and mute switch, the flap has to be opened in order to plug the earphones in. Speaking of flaps, they are a necessary evil when it comes to total protection. Putting them back in place requires a bit of patience but it is not a big deal.
All of the functions of this case are protected. Each button, the volume, power, and control button are under the cover. The screen is also under a protective rubber shield. I was concerned that the interface would be hindered but everything works well even with the added layer between my hand and the screen/buttons. The buttons are quite responsive and the screen taps, scrolls, etc, seem to work just as well as they did before I installed the case.
A huge bonus about this case is how my telephone reception IMPROVED. Getting my first iPhone was becoming a very frustrating experience due to a very high amount of dropped calls. For some reason, getting that barrier between my hand and the phone itself has dramatically improved my reception resulting in virtually no dropped calls. I definitely like the feel of my phone much better with the case than I did with no protection at all.
Lastly, you may be surprised to find that this case may change the appearance of the color of your phone. My phone is black but the plastic case is white. From the front and side views, you would think my phone is white. It is not until you look at the back side of the phone that the black shows through the hole for the apple logo.
The only thing I do not use or particularly care for is the holster that comes with the phone. I am using a leather pouch and prefer it instead of the snappy, hard holster. (Just a preference, not a knock) I recommend you look at the Otterbox at a retail store like AT&T before you buy it sight unseen from Amazon. The store I viewed them at was selling them for $50 and I purchased mine on Amazon for $32.60.
Good luck!

Awesome case!... without the screen. Nov 30, 2011
By R. Jarreau *Edit*: With the Power Support screen shields, this is by far the best combo on the phone that I can see. I received multiple complements on the look of the case and the amazing screen
I know OtterBox may not have the best cases, but this one will be my case for a long time. The protection from falls, while still having a sharp stylish factor is unmatched.
I encountered two problems with this case. At first, when putting the phone in the plastic case, it seemed a tad too short for the phone, so there is a small gap where the back plate meets the front, but it's nothing major. Also, of course, the screen is terrible. I understand many people face the problem of watermarks, but I also could not stand the screen itself. In fact, I hated it so much, I pryed the whole thing out, so all I have is the case. The screen collected a ton of oil from the fingers, it heavily pixelated the beautiful Retina display, and dust could easily come through the exposed areas of the phone and get trapped behind the screen. All in all, get the case, lose the screen.
Currently, I'm rocking it without any screen protection and it's EXTREMELY better. I ordered some Power Support crystal clear screen protectors to protect the screen, and I suggest you do this same method if you want protection, without sacrificing the potential of your Retina display.

Best case for the White iPhone 4S! Nov 17, 2011
By Derick Cunningham This case is amazing. It really is that simple.
You don't need to keep searching Amazon for a different case. Stop right here. Buy this one.
It's durable and it looks great. Very easy to install and for the investment that I have in my new iPhone 4S, it's the only case I will ever use from this point forward!
Amazing product!

"Hybrid" case really works with White iPhone 4 Jan 18, 2012
By irod2340 I was skeptical about this case working with my iPhone 4 (white/Verizon). I had the defender series case over a year ago when I got the phone but returned it because the proximity sensor was "disabled" by the cases design. I was more than ready to try the work-around by removing the plastic piece that covers the front camera/proximity sensor once I saw the videos online. Just Google white iPhone 4 Otterbox case work-around and you'll see what I'm referring to in the videos. I got the case today and apparently, the "hybrid" version already has the clear plastic piece removed so the phone works perfectly. No more fat cheeking the screen during calls. The case fits like a second skin and it protects the phone from daily use/accidental drops.
The manufacturer's box says "iPhone 4S" which I'm sure works just as well but the white iPhone 4 works with this case as well. Just thought someone may be looking for this confirmation before ordering.

Best case ever! Jan 12, 2012
By Y. F. Metcalf My Husband and I both have the Otterbox Defender cases. He has a black iphone 4 and I have a white Iphone 4s. My husband is hard on phones and dropped his iphone a couple of times but the phone has been safe and sound in the Defender. In fact after one fall the case's screen was scratched but the iphone's screen was good as new! The Otterbox case for the iphone 4s fits my white 4s perfectly and phone works perfectly. The case is not slim and "sexy". If you want sexy dim the lights and put on some Marvin Gaye. If you want a case that will protect 200.00 plus phone get the Otterbox Defender.
