Otterbox Commuter or BodyGlove?

[kadmanMusic]

Is the Otterbox Commuter series twice as good as the Bodyglove? I like the two-toned red case, but if it's not going to protect the phone, what's the point? However, I can buy two and a half of them for the price of one Commuter.

Advice?

The otterbox is great. I have had one on each of my last three phones. Never had a broke screen, or any damage from a drop. Not that i drop my phone a lot, but the cases last and protect very well.
If your worried about price, look at ebay. You can get brand new, in unopened box for $20.

Got the commuter w/ shipping for $20 on amazon. Haven't had the bodyglove though but liking the OB. A bit bulky imo but worth it

A family member has an Otterbox for her DInc2 - amazing. Protects everything, but isn't overwhelming to hold.

I tried to find the same case for a Rez + extended battery - Otterbox doesn't make 'em.

I have an otterbox on my rezound and inspire. I will be getting one when I upgrade to the galaxy s3. I love these cases. Also otterbox stands behind them and it anything happens to the case they will replace it.

Never tried the body glove, but OB has a great reputation. I got mine for @$20 from amazon. I use it all the time except when I use the extended battery. I can tell you I normal baby my phone, but with the otterbox, I can relax with it. It's fallen out of my pockets, hands, counter.....you name it. The case is solid and fully protects my rezound. I get nervous when I use the extended battery because I can't use the otterbox then. If protection is what you want, Otterbox will do it and do it well. If you want the look, get the body glove. I can't speak good or bad about it.

Thanks, all. Appreciate the insight. Sounds like OB is the way to go just based on the fact that no one has any experience with the BG. Seems like, if it were good, people would have it.

You will like the OB commuter case. It offers great protection in a thin profile case.

I have 2 Incipio Silicrylic cases which are like the Otterbox commuter cases. Dual layer with a self adhering screen protectors. I chose Incipio because of the color choices. I've had both Otterbox and Incipio for other phones and tend to lean toward the Incipio. They have a better feel. Less slippery. Either one is an awesome way to protect though. I also have the body glove. It's nice looking but I wouldn't rely on it to protect if your phone is dropped. It's good to protect against day to day small stuff. Like sitting on your desk at work. Protects against a small scratch. As soon as my Incipio came the body glove was thrown in the drawer. Also have an Aegis by Trident. That one is more like the Otterbox Defender. Just more color choices. I get all my cases off of eBay.

You can still use the Otterbox Defender with the extended battery, but you would have to leave out the back polycarbonate cover.

Thanks for the info, but I use the commuter. Might look into the Defender as the stock battery just isn't cutting it for me recently. ICS uses more power than GB ever did.
