The first day I used my phone it was without a case, the very next day I got an Otterbox Defender for it and have never used one without that since. I take it back, I used my husband's five in a commuter case one time, all I did was update his software for him,. I may have to tap a bit harder but at least usually anyway my phone is not jumping off to other places as it did in that first 24 hours or so that I had it.

Now having owned the otterbox for a couple of months the play has lessened. I believe after frequent use the plastic flexes a bit and makes much better contact with the iPod screen. At this point I can't feel any play, and if no one told me and handed me an iPhone with the otterbox, I would not notice that there is a protective screen cover on the Defender. In short, keep at it and you will find the otterbox just as sensitive as no cover. I currently do not, and never had to press any harder on the screen than without the case.
