The otterbox has a hard membrane on the front, I already had screen protectors applied to my phone, so I have two and it works just fine.
Personally, I generally clip the phone into that clip, and clip it to my pocket but, I put the phone part inside the pocket, seems to work better for me anyway, does not get bumped as often and I feel more secure with it as generally it would fall into my pocket. Unfortunately a couple of weeks ago I caught the back part of the clip on a chair arm and the phone went flying despite actually being in my pocket, Thank goodness for the Otterbox, it works just fine. I don't wear tight jeans, and if I do, I either have my purse where I can clip it to the inside portion, or a fanny pack where I can put it in a zippered compartment minus the clip. Your milage may vary. I don't have a tactile screen protector, and I don't know if I could accurately use the phone outside the case now or not, not going to find out either until I upgrade the phone maybe next March. It was difficult to get it in there, I don't intend to pull it out again, got a cable so I can connect it to my dock rather than try to pull out the phone again. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Suzanne Wilson Sent: Monday, June 18, 2012 9:47 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Tactile Screen Overlay, Or Not? Hi Amy, I think I would like to try the OtterBox Defender and would love it if you could send one of the screen overlays for that particular case. I just have two questions: 1. You said that the case has its own built-in screen protector. I looked online and they referred to it as a membrane that fits over the screen. I'm guessing that what that would mean is that, once you put on the SpeedDots overlay, you would, in effect, have two screen protectors. Does that affect screen sensitivity? 2. You said that your overlay doesn't peel off the OtterBox because you're not sliding your phone in and out of a shell. Instead, your phone stays in the shell all the time. I understand that, but how then does it fit into the belt clip/holster? I would imagine that the back of the phone would slide into the holster, with the screen facing out. Is that right? Thanks so much for answering my questions. I appreciate your time.
