I have a commuter and my dad has a defender. There's a difference in thickness but not much. With the case on it feels like I have a cinder block in my pocket lol. But it protects it tho :) I got mine the day I got my beast at the Sprint store.

I ordered a Defender before I got my GN2

Took ages so I got one when I got my phone

finally Came in the post

Now I have 2 I can just swap cases and clean at my leisure

Screen gap is of no real concern to me and any minor ingress of particles over time is also no biggie

Happy to know that when it does get dropped in the future that it is in arguably the best case for protection

Cheers

I have multiple cases/holsters but the Otterbox Defender is my only choice when I?m out on my Fatboy.

My only problem with the case was the fact that the installed screen protector left a gap between itself and the SGN2 display. The double-tap feel drove me crazy whenever I used the S-Pen. If you get one do yourself a favor and push-out the lame screen protector and get a decent one (I got mine from Speigen).

Each of my phones and tables across the years have been protected by Otterbox products and you cannot beat their customer service. Something breaks ? they make it right. I had a Defender for my Droid Charge; clip form the holster cracked as I was sliding down a ladder (unintentionally), called them and asked how much a replacement would cost as it was definitely my fault. The sent me another one at no cost ? they even paid for the shipping.

I dont see why you guys cant pop out the screen protector. Yes its crappy cause the major concern is the case and not the actual screen protector. The phone isnt that bulky with the defender case(i love bulkiness so maybe its just me :D) i slapped on a sgp ultra crystal cause i got tierd of zaggs crappy(including the hd, looks no where near as good as spigens) looking one hehe.. Overall great case, no problems whatsoever and am not too worried if it drops(kinnda am cause i baby my n2 even inna case) Buy buy buy it! :thumbup::D

call or email Otterbox... when this happened on my last Otterbox Defender case, they shipped me a replacement holster within a week. :) Otterbox's customer service has always been excellent.

It might be just me but i find it kind of odd using the belt clip with the n2 cause of its size. I love its hugeness but it looks kinnda funky at my side lol. So i just put it in my pocket. :)

I love my otterbox the way I see it is if your worried about how big it makes the phone then you shouldn't have this big phone anyways. Lol bigger is better!

I only wish my Otterbox Defender Note 2 can have rubber that's slightly softer.
(like on the Defender case for the Galaxy Nexus because it makes the case less slippery)

Otterbox switched to a different rubber that attracts less lint, but a little more slipery)
