they're basically saying the 4S cases have better silicon.

& everyone keeps saying (not just in your comments) that the headphone jacket doesn't line up?

[ItsMichaelW]

@EmceeGeek That's because many think the port is for the headphone jack, it's not. The top port is for the top microphone. It does line up correctly to that. If you check the post I did about this on my site, I have pictures showing how everything lines up.

To use headphones you have to flip the port cover open. It's meant to be that way.

i cheked the otterbox page and it says the defender case for iphone 4 doesnt fit iphone 4s.. the iphone 4s has its own that fits the normal 4 too why is this?

[ItsMichaelW]

@nilotheking They say it doesn't fit, but the reasoning doesn't make any sense and Apple deny it. Also just sitting a Verizon iPhone 4 next to any iPhone 4S you will see they have the exact same layout. As long as you purchase the universal iPhone 4 defender as I did, it will work fine.

Thanks for this video. Definitely saved me $30 from getting the 4s one from Walmart. $20 on Amazon was all I needed.

Does the iPhone 4s fit in the commuter cases of the iPhone 4 do u know?

[Mikenopolis]

EVERYONE, yes the iPhone 4S WILL fit in the iPhone 4 Otterbox, all the buttons will line up if you got the universal case. HOWEVER the AMBIENT LIGHT SENSOR is not exposed so the screen brightness will not automatically adjust (not too big of an issue to me) in the iPhone 4 it was in the same "hole" as the proximity sensor (which Siri uses) now in the 4S it's about 5mm to the left of it. All this means is that you have to manually dim the screen in a dark room etc. or you can just keep it at 75%

i have an otterbox defender for the AT&T iPhone 4, It fits my new AT&T iPhone 4S. However you can tell its a tighter fit and like you said, the mute button is lower (identical to the verizon iphone 4?) by a tiny bit.. but its worth keeping my iphone 4 defender rather than buying a $50 dollar 4S defender!

@itsmichaelw Thanks for this review. actually bought a iPhone 4 case last night and waiting for it. didn't even down on me that they actually made a "NEW" version for the 4S until this video. I'm going to see if I can use the case WITH a Gelaskin on it since they are so thin. also planning to rip out the screen overlay

Also did you know that OtterBox sends you a new silicon shell if yours gets lose over time? you just need to take a picture with your name in the frame! that's awesome service!
