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.
