    My iphone 4 christmas pressie is winging its way to me, :D:D and im a really clumsy person so i need a good, sturdy, protective yet stylish case for it.

    Ive been looking at the Otterbox ones, but dont know which one is best, the Defender, Commuter or Impact??

    Can anyone point me in the right direction?

    I drop my phone, a lot. :o

    I have the defender and the commuter for my 3GS. Got the defender cause Of the environment I work in. I used it for a few weeks and then put the commuter on. I prefer it cause it's a whole lot thinner, and it looks a bit better. I dunno if it will survive a drop as I've never dropped it yet, the defender will keep the phone in one piece if it falls, but is really bulky.

    Commuter TL for the win.

    Got it on amazon.ie for €22 delivered. Sleek, stylish and offers good protection!

    Yes, it looks sturdier than the defender, but im leaning towards the defender, but only cos there are lots of colours! :D

    The defender is the strongest in the lineup, but bulky. http://artoftheiphone.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Otterbox-Defender-Side-by-Side.jpeg
    Full plastic cover with a rubber part that goes over that, the screen has a thin film built into the plastic part of the cover. http://www.tipb.com/images/stories/2010/07/otterbox_defender_iphone_4_-010.jpg
    This screen protector is a pain in the ass as it keeps showing bubbles n dirt after a while, theres a talcum powder trick that helps fix the problem.
    Type "otterbox defender Talcum powder" into YouTube and it should show some results. I don't know if ya can do this on the 4 but it does work on the 3GS.

    Also just YouTube the otterbox defender or the commuter for iphone 4 and it'l give ya a better idea of what ya want.

    Remember my experience of these cases is on the 3GS so things will be different to what your after for the 4.G'luck.
