Kathryn Stockett has a terrific story to tell. It’s about black domestics in racist Jackson, MS on the eve of Civil Rights, and it’s a barn-burner. You’ll bruise your fingers turning the pages, and that’s no joke. If she happens to tell her story without using much subtlety, sometimes knocking you back a bit with her wordy sledgehammer, then that’s just the price you have to pay to go on this ride, because the ride is worth it. It’s going to make a great (or awful) movie, undoubtedly Oscar nods all around, but read it while it’s still just a book, because they’re gonna cut a lot of the good stuff out; only the sledgehammer stuff is going to make it into your local cinema. I avoided this one, but I’m so glad it kept insisting to be read – sometimes the popular book are popular for a reason.

Bottom line: Good product that does what it says it will do. Would definitely purchase again.

I read lots of reviews…LOTS of reviews…before purchasing the OtterBox Defender. I’ve used it for several weeks now. I work outside on a daily basis in dirty, dusty environments. This is one of those products that actually lives up to its hype!

It protects as advertised and does exactly what I need it to do. I’m not drop-kicking it off of buildings or running it over with trucks, but for someone who works in a non-iPhone-friendly environment….it absolutely does the job.

The only drawback to the OtterBox Defender is the ability to dock with various products. Many plugs just don’t fit through the bottom of the case. At least not without some trimming.
Of course, I already knew this going in and it is something I was prepared to deal with for the protection the case offers.

I’m not docking my iPhone into some fancy speaker system so this wasn’t a big issue for me. (Just a hint…if you want to use your iPhone with speakers, get some decent computer speakers and just use the headphone jack. You’ll save some money.)

I did not want to use the baby powder “trick” to eliminate the much publicized “oil slick” so I bought the Power Support Anti-Glare Film for iPhone 3G/3GS. It works great, still maintains perfect screen action and gives me another layer of protection for my screen. I’ve seen the pros and cons to using it and, for me at least, the pros far outweigh the cons. ‘Nuff said about that.

On another note, I started looking for an external battery for my iPhone. I was concerned about the cords for the external battery being able to fit into the OtterBox.

I did some more reading and even fired off an email to the makers of the Imaxpower IMP500 to ask them if I could use the standard Apple USB Docking Cable to connect to the IMP500. Yes, you can do this. The white USB docking cord that you plug into your iPhone wall charger will work fine. You simply plug the USB e
