whats the point of paying $60 for a case that keeps dust out when the phone is dustproof:-\
It just means you'll have to take off the case to remove any dust that gets stuck in between; like any other case :/

Np worries on the reply thanks for taking the time to. I'm gonna get the case one today. I have one on now but want something to cover the edges more thanks againYes I do. I got the case fit so it don't completely cover the edges but there is only a tiny part of each of the edges that aren't covered. So you wouldn't even notice unless you looking for it. You have 2 options to choose from case fit and regular where all the edges are covered. I chose the case fit cause didnt want to take a chance that the edges would peel up when putting on or taking off cases. It works great in defender case with or without the defender built in screen protector. I just didn't like the defender screen protector so tool it out lol. Sorry took so long getting back to you. Just now seeing this. Just know these are wet apply kind. Dishing washing detergent and water is all you need. Helps alot with keeping fingerprints off the inside of screen protector when putting it on.

What's sad is the Defender for the S7 and S7 edge had that nice thick rubber liner on the back shell and seemed to be of better quality then past Defenders.
Guess they really went back to cheap & cheesy with the Note 7 Defender.
I'm sticking with the Evo Tactical XT for now. Decided to return the Supcase Beetle Pro b/c I just don't think it has much shock absorption with the rigidity of the case. I do think the Beetle Pro is a good value, but I'm willing to pay more for the Tactical XT because of Tech 21's claims regarding drop protection. Per the Tech 21 website--
"Extreme drop protection. FlexShock™ is the world's most advanced impact protection material, absorbing and dissipating impact force and stopping that force from passing into your device. By integrating FlexShock™ into the design of the Evo Tactical XT, we can offer extreme impact protection from drops of 4m/ 13ft."
I still want to see the Defender in Steel Berry, but it is still not available. If the Defender is fine without the built in screen protector (and replaced with a separate one), I would be happy to give it a try. If the power/volume button alignment is off like many reviews say, that would be a no go. The shoddy built in screen protector isn't a dealbreaker for me, as I always remove the built in protectors for my Defenders.
Yes, I own it. Here are pics--Do you actually own the Tactical? Please post pix if you do. For all the people saying that it's a good alternative to the Defender, I can't find any review videos or blog posts about it that include photos of the case on someone's phone. I'm seriously considering the case, but I'd like to read some more reviews first. I'm actually going to try (again!) to exchange my phone this afternoon and if Verizon has the Tactical in store I'll probably pick it up.
If anyone is interested I checked the Otterbox site today and they have all colors in stock. I already had Steelberry ordered via Amazon for a lower price but i have no idea when it will ship (been waiting over a month already) so I'm ordering one from Otterbox so I can check it out for myself. If Otterbox doesn't pan out then I'm highly considering the Zizo case.

I learned about 35 years ago, when I was 11 years old watching the toy commercials that most claims of awesomeness and indestructible are usually the first toys that get destroyed. Those claims on the tactical are worthless and just a sales tactic...... just like those toys.
It's not like they have a guarantee backing their claims. It's all luck or lack of when you drop theses phones, especially with these edge phones. Sure a case helps with some protection but one case alone is not the save all. The 13 feet gimmick is laughable, I wouldn't find myself repeating it to others.

The genuine Samsung screen protector works great with the tech21 evo tactical xt case.
