The Defender has a belt clip and is sticky. The Commuter doesn't have the clip and slips easily into you pocket.

Hey. Actually this model (commuter) is not much sticky as the silicon case goes in and hard shell mostly covers it. Also the exposed silicon is not that sticky and it doesn't create issue in sliding. I think in defender case, the hard shell goes in and all the exterior is silicon; that might be a problem. Thankfully Commuter case design is exactly opposite so it works fine.

Most of the case has the hard cover, so I've found it quite easy to get out of my pants' pocket. It's just the front edge (and a bit on the sides) that the rubber inner cover is exposed, but it's never been an issue.

Yes it clips into a belt holster and my wife uses hers that way but I prefer a canvas case see this link http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AMOAWMA/ref=oh_details_o06_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 my phone with the otterbox defender case fitted but without the plastic holster, fits snugly in this canvas case snaphooked to my belt, much more comfortable too.

I am afraid I can't help you with this one. I gave the Otterbox to a 10 year old for a birthday present. He does like it and still uses it. But, his parents do not let him take his IPod out with him. So, he has never commented on how easy it slides in and out of his pocket.

Ryan- Yes this Otterbox comes with a belt clip. I do like the Otterbox for the protection it provide, but it does make the phone a bit bulkier and heavier. It depends upon how much one really cares about that.

I have my Z30 and Galaxy S4. I have no problem sliding or removing from pocket. Otter box is great. I have tried them all.

Holster is a separate piece. The case snaps into the holster. Thought all defender series came with holster. Your choice to use it.

I'm not sure whether the Defender is the same Otterbox I had before, but I exchanged it for this Spigen. Otterbox is an excellent product in terms of safety - I've dropped my phone from my pocket (about 1.2 m off the ground) onto concrete and it just bounced, zero damage. However, it is a bit on the heavy side and esthetically Spigen has it beat hands down. I have dropped my phone a few times while in the Spigen case onto my hardwood floor and it hasn't been damaged. Another detail: Otterbox makes the phone somewhat bulkier, so it is harder to operate with one hand.

It slides into another case that has the clip/stand on it. The stand/clip are one and the same. It's very secure as long as the phone is put in the right direction and you wear or clip it facing up not down. The part you slide it into has a velvet type fabric on it so it keeps the screen from getting scratched. I like it much better than the otterbox because it's doesn't make the phone thicker or heavier and honestly I have dropped my phone several times and my screen is as good as it was brand new. I have one for an iphone too. My other half just got a new Samsung Galaxy 4 and we ordered another one like this for his phone. The only thing and that's why I say be careful is the spring can come out that holds the clip/stand but you can put it back without much problem if you don't lose it. I have a pink and black one for an Iphone 4s when I get the Iphone 5s most likely will get another one in white and pink. For the price, I would order 2 to have one for back-up because you never know that you might lose the spring for the clip. If you're taking the phone off a belt and clipping it back, then yes the spring is more likely to come off and you lose it.

Yes, it slips in and out of pockets easily. It's not sticky, yet the case provides a better grip than just the phone alone.

Although a bit rubbery, it does slip in and out of a pocket. It creates just enough resistance that it isn't too slippery and would just fall out of a pocket or out of your hand. I like it better than some of the other heavy rubbery cases like the Otter boxes which are bulky and too rubbery. I found it to be just right.

There is no rubber protector case with this phone case and holster. I had a case with a rubber inner case around the phone before I got this holster, and this one is a lot better. It's alot thinner, and slides in and out with no problem in the holster and it feels good in your hand, and not all rubbery, big, and bulky. It feels and works like a cell phone. I have had a couple of drops from waist height out in the cold with this phone case, and holster, and I suffered no damage to my phone. Hope this helps. Cheers..Fitz

The holster/belt clip is a single piece which snaps on and off of the Defender case. As a result, you can choose to use it (or choose not to use it). The OtterBox Defender Series case is separate from the holster/belt clip and functions as full protection for the phone whether or not the holster/belt clip is utilized.

I'm not sure if this will answer your question, a) because the 4G one I bought several months ago has yet to break and need replacement and b) my experience is with a different model- my previous Incredible (original, non-4G) Otterbox Defender cases I have owned had belt clips break on me when mine was still within the one year warranty, and they honored replacing it by sending me an entire new unit, including a new cell phone cover and new belt clip.

The clip slides over the belt, very secure, so much so that I usually just slide my belt through the clip. Not to bad sliding the holster on but taking it off without sliding the belt out is a little tuff, however the holster stay's put.

Yes it is. However being the maybe overly careful person I am I actually have a leash on the case that I rap around my belt. That secures it so that it won't accidentally fall off of my belt and also makes it impossible for someone to slip it off of my belt. If I didn't wear a belt I would probably fasten it to a belt loop. Assuming the pants I was wearing had belt loops. I think it is a very good case for the money and I love the fact that it has a metal clip that won't break.. I did have an Otter Box case which is a best protection you can get for the phone but is a rather bulky case on my phone and the phone fit into the case perfectly. However I had a problem with taking flash pictures with the phone in the Otter Box Case. I would get a flash of light in the lower left corner of the picture. ???? After many ruined pics because of this, I took the phone out of the Otter Box case and solved the flash problem. ???? Now the phone fits loose in the case even with the case on it that came with the phone.I still carry an iPod touch with me most of the time and it actually takes up the extra space in the case so when the phone vibrates I feel it. I didn't always feel it when the phone was loose in the case. This was a little more info than you were looking for but thought it might be useful. Good luck with what you decide to do.

The belt clip is sturdy, but in my experiences with it, the holster tends to come off the belt during somewhat strenuous movement, I do not think it will stay clipped. In fact I have added a small chain to the side stylus band and attached it to a small carabiner that I attach to a belt loop to avoid loss.

yes it comes with the belt clip holster. i know from company to company the buttons for volume and on.off change locations. seriously dont waste your money on case the siicon will desolve and crack on its own. if u dont believe me google otterbox defender series cases and cases cracking. you will see. better off getting a chineese knock off. you will save money and at same time it will last longer. my case lasted less than two yrs. not worth the cash. good luck and hope it helps.
