Since no one answered weather or not the LifeProof case has been redesigned for our phone I'm now looking at the otter box defender. Who has one, what's your review and can you please post pictures?

I have both cases, and as far as I know they haven't redesigned the lifeproof or the otterbox, and they both need it! The otterbox built-in screen protector is horrible, protects well enough but doesn't seal well against the screen and it let's in a ton of dirt. Only solution is to do what 94lt1 did.

I use the lifeproof since I do 99% of my voice calls thru a Bluetooth headset, so the muffled sound isn't that big of an issue for me...

It's snug.. But there's actually a small area around the outside of the screen, where the protector doesn't cover. (this is the one from verizon).. But its hard to tell... Jist make sure you or the vzw employee, gets a clean install..

I just got the Turbo yesterday with an otterbox. Coming from the otterbox with the Droid Ultra. I am very disappointed with the design of the Turbo otterbox clip. With the Ultra the phone felt secured in the clip. With the turbo it feels that it will fall out of the clip. I guess I will find out how it works

Try this case, it's made by Nite Ize.

Clip Case Sideways

I love this case, it took me forever to find one that I could wear on my belt that would fit my otterbox or lifeproof case(s). Make sure you get the extra large version..

I started off with the Defender for my Droid Turbo and now I upgraded to the Lifeproof. Save yourself time and money and go with the Lifeproof quality is 10/10
