Default OtterBox : how waterproof? - 06-11-2009, 12:30 PM

Does anyone have any comments on just how good the otterbox is to protect a Storm?

Compatability/Features:
BlackBerry® Storm™ (9500S)

* 3 LAYERS OF PROTECTION!
* First, a clear membrane that protects the SurePress™ touch screen
* Second, a hi-impact Polycarbonate shell
* Lastly, a Silicone skin to absorb bump and shock

Dimensions (case only): 4.76" x 2.80" x 0.90"
Weight (case only): 2.86 oz.

Notes: Case NOT protected against water. Will provide some added protection against drop, bump and dust. NOT intended for protection against water intrusion.

Thats what I thought now I have one. Bit of a scandal calling something "Otter" when it's not even slightly water proof.

Having said that I feel the case would be good enough to protect the phone against slight rain and/or splash damage.

I concur, although I am glad they put that on their site... I would be pissed if they didn't and I ordered one.

well i have one but it is realy too bulky and the screen thing doesn't cover the whole screen on the otterbox case..and i don't mean the phone screen..way too bulky for a lady unless she is in construction..this is more a man's case who does alot of outside work...and it may help with splashes but the sides on the screen thing as a small space..
