Yeah, I got the Otterbox Commuter, and it's great. It's got a clear sticker to go over the screen, a silicone rubber huggie to go around the phone, leaving the camera, screen, and switches free, but covering buttons. A flap covers each jack. And surrounding the rubber huggie is a hard polycarbonite shell.

This sandwich of layers seems to give it good impact protection. I still am careful with it, so can't tell you that I use it for skeet shooting and it holds up fine. But it is great in everyday use, and the rubber flaps, which are manipulated daily, don't fray or tear.

Most amazing part is that it still fits in my dock when I remove the little dock cradle insert. So I can still play stuff on TV and through the stereo.

I suspect that if you are not paying close to $30 for it, you're getting a counterfeit like these customer images on Amazon.
