OtterBox has released its new Defender Case for the iPhone 3G. The Defender uses three separate pieces to protect the iPhone: a clear polycarbonate screen protector offering chemical and abrasion protection, a hard polycarbonate “skeleton” that surrounds the device, and silicone skin that wraps around the skeleton, absorbing bumps and shock. The OtterBox iPhone 3G Defender Case also includes a ClipStand holster and is available now in black for $50.

Ryan - also $80 to ship to Australia - a LOT further than Canada - should be a lot cheaper shipping for you guys? Why don’t they offer a USPS option - I doubt they will sell a single one here in Aus at that price - US $130 !!

guys, i have had this case for a while. it really is perfect. i don’t mind the bulk because i am in the outdoors a lot and really can appreciate the protection it affords. one note, guys: many of you might see annoying air bubbles appear on the thin membrane cover. experts have suggested that you rub the iphone surface with the palm of your hand before installing, as this puts a thin layer of oil between the iphone screen and otterbox membrane cover. well, this is not a fix all solution. i installed a power support anti-glare screen protector on my iphone 3g, not for anything, but simpy so that i have the flexibility of using my iphone off the otterbox case and stil have some degree of protection. guess what? no more bubbles when i put it back in the otterbox case with the anti-glare screen attached. this one really works and makes the overall package look classy.
