Is this as bulky as the otterbox defender series? The otterbox is too bulky for everyday use. Will this suffice?

I would say just about the same bulk as the otterbox maybe alittle thinner but not by much! But my daughter loves this case

I don't think it is nearly as heavy or bulky as otter box but still gives great protection for my IPOD.

I bought this for my young daughter but i don't think it's as bulky as my husbands otter box.

I have never had a problem with my OtterBox Defender. It was the best thing for me protects my phone and I can hear with no concerns from the person on the other end.

The Defender is bulkier, it offers a little more protection than the commuter series . The commuter is perfect for my daily needs.

Otterbox will probably be to thick. I have a very think case and it was snug.

Nothing like the otterbox. I have the Otterbox commuter case as well, and the seidio has a larger footprint, because of the seal around the phone. Plus, the otterbox isn't waterproof.

I have no experience with a defender case so I can't compare. What I can say thought is that it's a bit stiky but if you are serious about protecting your phone there is nothing better. From now on I will first check if otterbox or lifeproff makes a case for the phone I want andthen buy it Hope that helps

It isn't as thick as the defender otterbox. It fits pretty well in the hand. I have tiny hand.

It does bulk up the phone, but i think the protection worth it.Bear in mind, however, that the Otterbox feels "softer" in your hand because of its wraparound cover.

I did't try an otter box so I'm not sure I can compare, however I would say it is fairly bulky. It certainly does give protection, my husband has the same Blason and has dropped it on the corner and it did it's job, no damage to the phone.

Never used otterbox before, so I'm sorry I really can't answer your question. And I have only bought the trident series for my droid a few years ago and for this phone (worked then too, that's why o bought from trident again). So far, it's worked great. I've dropped my phone many times and it's still unscratched and the screen is not damaged ( ands yes I've dropped it face down before). It has 2 rubber coverings so I've also been able to keep dust out of headphone jack and charging port. I'd recommend getting this case, it's worked for me and it doesn't break the bank.

I'm not sure about otterbox, i never purchased one because they always seemed so bulky. I love this case because it is the right about or thickness without taking away from the phone, if that makes sense. I have a toddler and the phone has been dropped three times since i puchased the case and it has protected the phone.

I purposefully did not buy an Otter Box based on friends' feedback that it was heavy and bulky. The Griffin is also bulky, but it's a softer shell and it's perfect for what we purchased it for-for our son's iPhone. He dropped it in the dog's water bowl and the phone wasn't affected at all.

Of course everyone's perception is different, but I do not consider it very bulky at all. It is not nearly as bulky as an otterbox if you are familiar with them. Feels good in the hand too.

The otter box certainly makes your phone more bulky, but I keep it in my pocket everyday. The cost of the product and the extra bulk is well worth the protective 'insurance.' If I look up the retail of my phone, I wouldn't have carried my phone a week without an otterbox. The only cons are a loss of sleekness and it is very difficult to take apart if you want to remove the battery or MicroSD card.

I can't say for sure. But, it doesn't seem any worse than my Otterbox defender series. I don't have any issues with it. Hope that helps!

Yes, it makes it considerably more bulky, all cases of this sort add a fair bit of bulk.But what choice do you have? the s4 feels like you could break it in your hand without a case, they keep making phones slimmer necessitating a need for bulky protection.

The Slim Armor would be the equivalent of an Otterbox Commuter case. Decent for minor drop protection, but not enough protection for those that punish their devices. The Tough Armor is as protective, if not more so, as the Defender line of cases. The Slim Armor does not give as much screen protection, as the lip around the screen is much shorter. I feel the Slim armor also feels more slippery in hand.
