I picked one up yesterday. I have the defender, but I just hate the bland color. I like the pink survivor and that is why I choose this case over the otterbox-the color was the deciding factor even though I believe the defender is probably a better choice in the long run.
And I hate the bulk it adds, but I use my iPad for entertainment for my 5 yr old on long car rides and trips with long waits at the airport. I would rather it be bulky then to have to worry
Now only if otterbox would add color choices for their defenders .
eta: update, I liked this case, but when it came time to charge it my cord would not fit in with the case on. Sadly, this case is going back. Otterbox is already back on as my cord fits fine with the otterbox on.
