V10 + Defender = Bulletproof!

[Nate Silver]

So today I'm cycling down one of the winter ravaged roads around here, doing 25 mph on a downhill, when I hit a pot hole and my V10 (which was on a stem mount on the handlebars) went flying through the air. Heart in mouth, I got slowed down and turned around, thinking this is great. Had the phone for about three weeks now, and its going to be destroyed. Picked it up, and long story short.....no damage! A couple of good gouges on two corners of the Otterbox Defender case, but absolutely no problem with the phone. Man, that thing was bouncing and sliding all over the tar, I can't believe it survived at all, never mind without a scratch or ding on the screen. I even checked out the camera carefully, thinking something might have gotten jarred out of place, but no problem. Going to replace the slide-in stem mount with a Garmin type quarter-turn mount. Definitely do not want to see that happen again!

Yep... Mine has been very durable too. Several drops and smacks over the last few months. Worth every penny.

I'm done with otter box. They all stretch and get loose. I've moved on to UAG. Had it on my Note Edge and now my V10.

I am starting to notice this too. its not so lose that it falls off or anything like that, but its getting a little baggy. Strange because the OB on my wifes 6S+ is much tighter fitting.
