Well Made, Waterproof and HUGE! Great for Anything of Value!, October 20, 2010
This review is for the OtterBox Universal Case (the 3000 series - but the deepest box I think OtterBox makes). First off, I'm hooked on every OtterBox I've purchased (from the very small 1000 series up to this 3000 series deep box). I must have at least 30 of these of varying sizes. The quality on all of them is very high. They are very well made, sturdy and WATERPROOF (see the limitation in the product description). This deep 3000 series box is everything I was hoping for when I ordered it. What I'm using these for is my Moto Droid mobile phones with all the accessories I own for each phone (Vehicle mounting kit, desk charger, car charger, HDMI cable, 8-10 extra pre-charged batteries, extra data storage cards, and more). And everything fits with room to spare. I couldn't do this with the 3000 series that's 2.x" deep box but now I can with this one. It's great to be able to keep my phones and accessories all together and know that everything is safe. I highly recommend this box because of the quality and the size.

Water-proof? Not on your life!, January 30, 2011
I love all the different sizes of Otterboxes. Generally they are very well made and very sturdy. I've bought I think every size and just about every color made. Like I said they are 99% great. My only bad experience was with this particular model or the seller that sold me them (Gizmo's for Life). All Otterboxes are supposed to be water-proof and even though I've never actually tested them it would seem that they are. But this model is a problem. I ordered 5 of these and 3 out of 5 I know are not even close to being water-proof. There is a rubber-like strip (similar to a thick elastic band that is in a "track" going around the whole otterbox. When the top lid is closed it makes a seal with the bottom via the rubber-like material. In the case of this model, the boxes I received arrived with the rubber material over-sized or stretched and wasn't on the track. I tried to fix them myself but couldn't because the rubber was too long. Either the manufacturer had problems with the rubber material or the seller left these out in very hot or cold weather in order for this material to stretch as it has. I noticed another person had the same problem so perhaps it's a manufacturer problem. In any case I'm very surprised to find this happen to a product that has always performed 100% for me.

Leaks, September 22, 2010
I keep one of these on our boat for storage of rust prone or delicate items (cell phones, boat knife). It has leaked since day one. The box sits under a hatch that's not quite watertight but certainly offers substantial protection from the elements. Yet, somehow or another the box leaks. I have replaced the seal, greased the seal with divers grease to no avail.
