Thanks for Case review.  Wasn't sure which one to buy, your video helps. The only negative I see is if you have to do a battery pull. Does the case interfere much with keyboard keys?

Well, concerning a battery pull, download the app quickpull, it simulates a battery pull, it works great, I have it. The commuter case doesn't interfere at all with the keys, the defender however does interfere slightly.

Does the commuter case fit in the defender belt hoster thing??? Please answer... :D

I picked up the commuter at amazon. It actually looks like part of the phone and makes the phone look more impressive. The fit into the oem holster is tight nad requires me to stretch the holster open and force it in. It did not slide in as easily as in this video. I have never used a screen protector because of the way they make the screen look but this one is not noticable at all although it does darken the screen a bit, almost like tint. I also picked up the discovery 975 bluetooth headset

Does anyone find problems with dust getting stuck under the silicon and scratching up the chrome?

Well, i thing both cases are good, depending on your lifestile, the commuter is a little bit more slim an looks good, gives you less protection than a defender, but looks good, and can be carried easily in your pocket, whereas the defender is tough built, for reeeeeally high impact use, but it cannot be carried inside your pocket confortably, you need to carry it in the clip outside the pocket

Thanks. Nice job reviewing the case.

Thanks Tyler I was thinking of a good case to buy as the regular bold skin stretches after a time from constantly pulling it out of the leather holster.
