Great case!Jun 10, 2011
By Shawn
Ok first off the case is very rugged/durable as stated. And i actually really like the bulk it added due to my big hands lol...its a total of 3 pieces not counting belt clip...the back/bottom and front/top piece are made of plastic the top piece has a built in screen protector that fit across ur screen, tho its not 100% tight and does let dust/lint/ect in a bit thru the only opening on the top under the ear piece so i would deffinantly still recommend having a screen protector on under it ...and just to note the screen touch/response is not delayd due to the built in screen protecter....the 2 pieces clip together pretty tight...then the 3rd piece is silicone tho feels a bit like thin rubber wraps around the hole case ( first 2 pieces )...it plugs aux and charger port fairly well....covers volume rocker and power button as well and it sits up nicely so actually is easier to locate vol/power without looking...now with all that said i have a few complaints...i feel the silicone/rubber material is not snug enough around the case so i find myself having to fix it back sometimes after removing it from my pocket or removing it from the belt clip....also i find myself always blowing lent off the silicone which annoys me.....and finally the built in scren protecter not being more snug allowing dirt in bugs me so i have to take it apart to blow it out ....so due to those things and id like to get a case that fits the extended battery i did order the seidio convert(rugged) case ...but everyone is diff so those things may not bug u...but overall it is a great case and i do recommend it if ur looking for ruggedness
Pros: Very rugged
Bulkier case feels great in bigger hands
Plugs ports protecting from dust/lint/ect
Case off sets from camera protecting it
Kick stand still accessable
Durable silicone, should not rip/tear easily
Cons: Silicone needs to be tighter fit
Silicone attracts lint
Silicone makes it slighltly difficult sliding in/out of pocket
i hope i helped alittle in ur search for a case and i will be doing a review on the Seidio convert extended case soon too, feel free to check it out as well because Seidio is another good company

 Not Otterbox's bestAug 03, 2011
By Taylor Randalls
I bought my wife an Otterbox for her Iphone and it is amazing. She has dropped the phone several times and it's withstood everything. It fit nice and snug and looked like it belong with the phone. A few month's later I decided to buy myself an HTC Thunderbolt. I love the phone (except for the battery life), but told myself I'd wait until the Otterbox came out for it before I protected it. The time finally came and I ordered it from Amazon. Now on to the review...
The Otterbox makes the phone MUCH more bulky, which is to be expected since the Thunderbolt was already a beast of a phone. But the real downside to it is the screen on the case. It's aweful. I don't know what Otterbox was thinking, but the screen is not snug at all, leaving a space between the protective film and the Thunderbolt's screen. What this does is allow dirt to get inside to where you have to take the Otterbox off DAILY in order to clean the screen. Even worse, it severely limits my typing speed as I'm no longer touching the screen without a small lag as the protective film pops up and down. This causes my texting to take longer and it's just annoying. I understand the Thunderbolt's screen is large and it would be hard to manufacture the correct protective screen, but by looking at the Otterbox myself, I can already think of several ways this could have been improved.
One other annoyance for me is the kickstand. I use the kickstand daily while I'm at work. The case makes the phone extra bulky in the back which actually limits the kickstand's ability to withstand small bumps. If I move my headphones and the phone slightly moves it now falls over. All in all, I give the Otterbox a 3 out of 5, because it does do its job in protecting the phone, but the screen protector almost kills it for me. I wish I could recommend another case, but this is the best one for the Thunderbolt in my opinion. It will have to do.

does the jobJul 11, 2011
By Dr. Bombay
First let me address the size issue. I was worried from what others said that this was going to be huge. After installing it on my phone, I don't agree. To get maximum protection in the smallest size is what Otterbox did. It only adds millimeters to an already large phone. It's not that Otterbox made a small phone become huge. Second, the outer case is rubber and does attract lint, but not as bad as it could. This type of rubber is not as magnetic as others. I'm OCD (controlable) and the small amount of lint that does get on my phone from my pocket is okay. It's not bad and will fall off if kept outside the pocket. Use the belt clip that comes with it and there will not be a problem. I thought about just getting a hard case, but the only way to get true protection is to have some rubber on the case so it might as well be high quality. Third, I appreciate the screen protector but wonder if it would be better without it. I found out that I have to touch the screen a little harder to get a response. Others, I've read, have gotten used to this quickly. I haven't used my phone much, and have also gotten used to it some. My final verdict on this issue is not final. If it bothers me in the future, I will cut it out and use a different one. If you already have experience with built-in screen protectors then you'll probably be satisfied with this one. It doesn't mess the screen image up either. I'm 100% satisfied with the size, protection and quality. The screen protector is the only thing I'm not decided on yet. It's not bad, just not as smooth as without it in my opinion.

 Thunderbolt Otterbox Defender - POOR DESIGNDec 17, 2011
By Iley Pullen
I have owned several phones and whenever possible, purchased the Otterbox for it. I have always liked this product, in fact I have liked it so much that I won't typically buy the phone until there is an Otterbox to go with it. The Thunderbolt was different because the expected date for the Otterbox was unknown. I have had the Otterbox for my Thunderbolt for about 6 months now, and I can't stand it. There is a HUGE gap between the plastic window and the actual phone screen, such that there are times if I don't remember to press HARD, nothing is registered on the phone. It is also difficult to get some of the keys on the edge of the screen because now the plastic is reinforced by the body of the Otterbox. makes for lots of corrections, when texting should be something that is easy. If you use something like Swype, then it is almost impossible because those don't typically regiser the first time. The rubber protective cover always seems to become separated and I spend my spare time putting it back on, like it is supposed to be. The cover also separates any time the cover to the power port is opened for recharging or connecting to data cable. Last quirk and the one that bothers me the most is that when you are trying to put the phone back into the carrier, the rubber cover separates and prevents you from snapping the latch on the Otterbox plastic cover to the carrier. If you are busy or it is noisy and you do not hear or feel the click, your phone will be on the ground before you know cause it has fallen out. Don't know about you, but it was not my intent to test the Otterbox and its ability to prevent damage to the phone due to drops, because of its inability to actually hold the phone in its carrier. Of all the Otterboxes I have owned, this is the wrost for design and actual functionality. Add to this the fact that you have to keep putting the thing together and it becomes a NUISANCE. I guess it is better than nothing and if there was something comparable, then I would have thrown the Otterbox away long ago.

Not your old Otterbox caseNov 30, 2011
By David Sumner
"dasumner"
I'm a little disappointed by this version of the case. I'd previously owned one for the iPhone and was totally satisfied. This one, not so much. The outside edges of the rubber cover don't seem to want to stay in place. Also, sometimes the cover bunches up and doesn't want to go into the holster.
