Marware SportGrip vs PDO top skin vs Otterbox defender

[mingun119]

Hi guys. I am having a real trouble deciding which one I should I go. Price doesn't matter too much to me right now, I just want the best option for my iphone. Otterbox defender series seem to provide the best protection out of the three and would probably have bought it if it wasn't for the worry that it will make the iphone too thick and bulky. Now my question is, compared to PDO topskin and sportgrip, is Otterbox defender going to make my iphone way thicker and heavier? or is it going to be fairly similar? I really don't know.

Secondly, if it is the case that otterbox defender will prove to be too thick compared to the topskin and sportgrip, which of the two are better? They both have the same rating in the ilounge review but PDO top skin is selected as the iphone case of the year, is there any particular reason for it? and also, if you remove the belt clip from topskin product, is it goign to make a hole that back of my iphone will be exposed?

Please answer my questions and help me decide which one I am goign to get! thanks!!:D

My iphone with the otterbox defender is about 3/4 inch thick (without the belt clip). I find the thickness to be reasonable.
Hope this helps,

I have just gotten an Otterbox. I like the design but I can't seem to get rid of the bubbles. I've tried wiping my hand over it like the video suggested, but that didn't help. Do you have any ideas?

What about other silicone cases? How thick would that be if you have any idea. Also if you had used a leather flip case, would having one of those add more bulkiness to the iphone?

I am also having "bubble" issues. After using the hand method that the video suggested, I used a microfiber cloth to wipe down both the case and phone but this did not help. Anyone else have a suggestion?

I just got my Marware case in the mail today and it is awesome. The phone fits in perfectly and, for me, the screen protector went on without any bubbles. I got it for about $15 shipped. I would recommend this case to anyone,

I purchased the PDO TopSkin. I like the case...not bulky, good protection. However, the belt clip is completely useless as it requires two-hands to use. Unlike conventional clips that you squeeze to open, this one has to be pried to fit onto a belt. Trying to get it off your belt is also a two-handed operation...when I tried to pull it off my belt, the clip began to pull away from the rubber case. I had a lot of trouble figuring out how to permanently remove the clip. Unfortunately, when I finally got it off, I accidentally caused a small rip in the back of the holder. I just ordered the Marware SportGrip and I think it will suit me better. I'm still confused as to why ILounge chose the TopSkin as the product of the year. The issue with the belt clip and it's removal makes the product unacceptable in my opinion.
