Otterbox for iPad

Just got an email from the Otterbox guys:

Otterbox for iPad

Not sure I'm going to get it, but sorta interesting. They make an excellent product for iPhone 3G/3GS.

 

I wanted the Defender but it was so late to market that I had to buy something else. Too bad for me.

 

Same here. And too bad for them - they've lost an innumerable number of sales due to the delay in getting the product out.

Alas.

 

My Zoo Gue showed up yesterday of course?

So I ordered the Defender today.....as I knew I would.

They have save my various phones for years now and there is no way I am not getting the iPad into one as soon as possible!

 

Defender vs Commuter ?

It appears that the main difference between the Defender and the Commuter is that snap on cover that gets used for the easel base.

Does that snap on cover go on the bottom when not used for the easel, or can it be snapped over the screen to give it some impact protection? If it does snap over the screen, I would hope that the back still has some impact protection. Does it?

I realize that the screen gets a clear film applique, but being able to cover the screen with a hard plastic cover seems like a good way to protect it for travel.

 

I like how the commuter works with the iPad dock, this will be a major selling point for some people

 

According to the specs,so does the Defender.

 

The Defender looks nice but seems kind of bulky.

AVService, when you get your Defender, would mind sharing what you think of it, please?

 

I can't wait too.

The Defender case is very bulky in their other cases they are ruggedly designed, I too am interested to know what your thoughts are when you get your case.
