Is your OtterBox Defender for the EVO 3D loose at the corners? I have seen a boiling water fix online, has anyone tried it?

This is the one orderd, OtterBox Defender for the HTC EVO 3D, which didn't have that particular problem. If it did and I had to apply that fix, then I would have labeled this an overpriced piece of JUNK!!!!! I'm sorry, for $30 bucks on a piece of rubber and plastic it should be indefinitely flawless. My recommendation why waste your money with a product possible designed and built for planned obsolescence. Thank you for identifying to others that you have seen other flaws than what I experienced. I just pulled it from the dumpster and decided to apply the old traditional fix with gasoline and a match, works great!

No my OBD is not and I have two of them. The Otterbox holds the phone very well all the way around, No way it is "loose' in the corners. If there is space on the corner that would be a protective airspace because it tends to drop on the corners so allowing the corner to bend in and not hit your phone is a good thing, I hope you never drop it THAT hard. No i have never used a boiling water fix, no need to.

I had a hard time getting it to fit in the upper left corner, but once I did I didn't have any problems with it fitting.

Yes it is loose around the edges but I haven't tried the boiling water fix...never heard of it

My ottetbox fits perfectly, I have not had any problems with mine. Sorry I could not help any more. Good luck with finding a solution.

no mine fits tightly and has saved me plenty of times. I drop my phone and if it is my gym bag a lot. I should be more careful, but otter has protected my phone and I will buy another when the tabs break off from removing the it to use the phone.

Not yet on commuter. And had about 4 weeks and all is good with my case.but did on my defender about two years ago. Call otter box and sent them a pic of it and they sent me a new case, so either way your good.

Never had a problem with the Defender for the Q. But I did receive one for the Z10 that didn't work very well. Contact Otterbox and they will take care of it.

I would contact Otterbox through their website and see what they say. They are pretty proud of their product, so kudos to them if they back their product up.

Hey I had the same thing happen to me, I had just taken off the rubber protective backing to clean it, and it slipped out of my wet hands (cleaner) and onto hard (practically stone) floor! It shattered mostly at the top.. but it still works perfectly , the camera, mic etc.. all good,! I only bought it 3 months ago, for over 200 bucks, and an apple rep said it would cost over 100 dollars to replace screen~ ! Insane!! I am looking and hopefully have found a clip on set with a hard rubberized clear front, and backing, that will protect it, and hopefully keep it from getting worse! The regular screen protectors will not go on do to "bumpy texture" .... Your post did not say if yours is still working or not, but if it is,, I will let you know if it works.. and you let me know if you get anything out of your warranty. Deal? I hope so! Thanks Kimmy

Not sure how to take it off carefully. I pried it off with a knife. I have since upgraded to otterbox model 77-19695. Its not a perfect fit but all the holes are in the right spots and when the silicone is on it looks normal.

I also have an otterbox defender case for my Evo. I just got it, and it would be a huge waste of money if it won't fit. Will it?

I went to this model because I have had 4 ot he holster belt clips on the Otter Defender break with only a brush against something. The one I got through Amazon was so loose the phone kept falling out. I went to a Verizon store and got another one because I did not want to wait. This one is a bear to pull out of the holster but I was told, from someone I trust, that time will let it slide out smoother. Mine is already wearing a bit looser. I think it is just time. Now if I just don't break the belt clip I should be okay :-)

I had a Defender as well. This does have a good lip so you can lay it down screen side and it does not touch the surface. Have had this a couple months and really like it!

well the only thing I think of is to make sure the plastic is in place on the otter box Susan cause sometimes if it's lose it will make you screen look wet. Try that

The otterbox I bought for my virgin mobile HTC EVO v 4g? Hells yeah. It's in it right now.

I have my EVO in an Otterbox Commuter case and it is very snug but it will fit.

I just got one of these docks myself, and found that Galaxy Note 3 in an Otterbox Commuter series case (their thinnest case) will not connect to the dock. Since the charging port cover on the case doesn't close properly anyway, and blocks docking, I cut that flap off, then filed out the charging opening in the outer shell slightly to accommodate the base of the USB3 connector, and the phone STILL will not dock with the case installed. It won't dock *reliably* even with just the silicone liner of the case in place. I just talked to Otterbox and they have no suggestions. The annoying thing is that it looks as though it WOULD work, if only the spring-loaded base of the dock had about another 2mm-3mm of travel. (Samsung, are you listening? ...Probably not.) It's extremely annoying having to choose between "Case that will protect my phone" and "Case that will still let me dock my phone". Can anyone perhaps offer any tips for cases known to fit and work for this dock? Perhaps we can at least take the guesswork out of which cases will work with the dock and which won't. I'll start: OtterBox cases WILL NOT work with this dock.

I bought an OtterBox defender for mine. Money WELL spent. The UltaProof case is garbage

I haven't had an Otterbox so I can't compare them. A friend of mine has one for the Droid Ultra and he loves it. I don't have any complaints about this case. I have gotten the screen wet and it came out of that great.

I have an HTC EVO 3D and it fits perfect, lots of room. The only problem I see with the case is that you need to put your phone in power button first in order to take photos. I will be trying it out this weekend for the first time to see how well it keeps the water out. Will post an update next week :D

Hi Jamie my 14yo daughter used the defender and I tried the ballistic case. But she never told me about that problem and she's on it all the time. I asked her today about it and she said it never happened to her phone. We did leave on her original screen saver and then put it the case. That maybe stopped the static. ..sorry I couldn't be more help
