I have the black now and im waiting for the Black/Orange Realtree to be released. My guess is its a slow roll out with other colors. I looked at smartphonepedia.com to see if they had other colors avaiable and all they have is black. It says the other colors will be available on or before Aug 21st.
Otterboxs shipping July 10th.

I bought an Otterbox Defender with Belt Clip from the Sprint Store last weekend. The clip lasted less than one week before it torqued off my belt and snapped at the hinges. The case is fine, but the swivel clip on the belt piece snapped off. I filled out a complaint at the Otterbox website and they got back to me the next day. They only needed a few pictures of the case and damage to prove I had one and they sent a new one in by FedEx. It hasn't arrived yet, but it was great customer service.
So beware of the failure point on this case. It's the belt clip.

So it just broke...that's not too good. Glad otterbox is sending a replacement. Still though not good for those who really rely on the holster. Good to know thanks

I wouldn't say that it "just broke." At first, the seatbelt in the car got caught between the case and my belt. As I got out of the car, it pulled the clip back to the point where it locked into the stand position. Hearing the noise, I stopped and checked it out.
The second time, I was just sliding into the car, and the box pressed against the side of the car seat as I slid into the car. That's when the belt clip twisted and broke the plastic hinge loop.
The unit comes in six assembled pieces: 1) the case back, 2) the case front with screen protector, 3) the belt clip holder, 4) the swivel unit on the back of the belt clip with the bottom part of the clip, 5) the top part of the clip that you squeeze, and 6) a metal "V" piece that provides the spring tension. The bottom part of the clip has two loops that hold two posts molded onto the sides of the squeeze part of the clip. The posts are fitted into the loops on the bottom section. It's one of these loops that broke.
I have heard stories of thieves stealing these phones off of people's belts by snapping the unit this way. I'll have to be more aware of the position of this unit on my belt in the future.

I removed the screen protector that came on the Defender case today. Since I already have the Zagg one on since day 1. Was experiencing that "spongy" affect and it look.....soapy.
