5.0 out of 5 stars Paid for itself :UPDATED February 19, 2011

By J. Batte

Color Name:Black Silicone & Black Plastic| Size Name:One Size|Amazon Verified Purchase

I have a Verizon iPhone 4 and ordered this from OtterBox before they were out at other retail stores. Fits great with no wiggle room inside. Great feeling case, doesn't feel like it's a fish and wants to jump right out of your hand. Easy access to all ports. The front pieces that protects the screen DOES NOT hinder any finger gestures what-so-ever. My OtterBox has paid for itself already when I had my hands full as I was getting out of the car and simply I forgot it was in my lap... after the solid hit to the cement and heart started beating again, I brought myself to assess the damage. There was NONE! Still works like a charm like it did right out of the box. No cracked screen/glass. The OtterBox is without a mark as well. OtterBox saved the day. I researched my purchase first and was sold when it protected an iPhone from a 23 store drop into concret. (Search YouTube). It's better t protect your investment now or pay more later if it's damaged.

EDIT: This OtterBox Defender still works like a Champ! I did want to update that it works for the Verizon iPhone 4.... NOT the new iPhone 4S. While the iPhone 4S fits in the case, Apple has moved the sensor and the phone will have screen brightness issues. For the iPhone 4S the OtterBox company has released a new Defender series that has a larger opening for the front and rear sensor/camera. It's universal and will work with BOTH iPhone 4 & iPhone 4S on ALL CARRIERS.

5.0 out of 5 stars Universal Design Fits Verizon iPhone 4 Perfectly March 4, 2011

By Stacey

Color Name:Black Silicone & Black Plastic| Size Name:One Size|Amazon Verified Purchase

I have been searching for the Otterbox Defender specifically for the Verizon iPhone 4 and have yet to find it locally at any retail store. Since it is $50 at Otterbox directly (plus shipping) I waited until Amazon offered the universal design. I was hesitant as another reviewer said it did not fit the Verizon model. I believe that reviewer ordered it before the universal one was offered as this DOES FIT the Verizon iPhone. I tried the AT&T one in Best Buy and you are not able to mute the phone with that model unless you have microscopic fingers. This universal design fits the verizon phone perfectly and I have no trouble at all muting the phone.

I can't attest to it's durability yet as I only got it yesterday but it is a solid case and has screen protection as well.

Hope this helps if you are looking for a case for the Verizon iPhone.

3.0 out of 5 stars Looks great, fits great, BUT... May 13, 2011

By Lumpy

Color Name:Pink/White| Size Name:One Size|Amazon Verified Purchase

This case is great but I found out after purchasing that it doesn't work with my new white iphone 4.

Here's what otterbox.com says, "Not compatible with WHITE iPhone 4. Due to a slight change of the proximity sensor for the white Apple iPhone 4, the OtterBox Defender Series, Commuter Series, Reflex Series and Impact Series cases will not work with this new device."

My screen does not go into locked mode (black screen) when I am on a phone call. I'm constantly dialing random numbers, turning on speaker phone, etc.
