This has seriously started to annoy me ,i cannot seem to find it anywhere in stock here in the UK. bloody hell..
I was going to buy one on Ebay, but it ended up going for $66 plus shipping. That is more then I am willing to spend on one. I don't understand how it can take this long for them to get them in. Offering me $5 off my order is okay, but I would rather have my shipping upgraded.
Was there a reason for such a long delay? THAT many people want an otterbox defender case??? I can't imagine how long the delay would be for the commuter case when it comes out.
This is the response we got:

Dear Valued Customer,
Due to an overwhelming demand from all of our customers (end users, carriers, distributors, resellers, etc.) interested in the Defender Series for iPhone® 4 as well unexpected weather delays in China and Alaska, OtterBox is experiencing longer than usual order processing. Additionally, technical difficulties at our warehouse last week caused shipments to be sent out of sequence. We are doing our very best to send out orders in a timely fashion and from this point forward all purchases will be shipped in the order they were received.
Until all existing orders in our system are fulfilled, we are not offering expedited shipping and purchases are averaging a 14 business day processing time from the time your order was placed. Once your order is shipped your credit card will be charged and you will receive an email with tracking information. As an apology for our error and delay, your order will receive $5 off per Defender Series case for iPhone 4 ordered, which will reflect on the charge you get when your order is shipped.
We value your business and sincerely apologize for any inconvenience.
Best Regards,
OtterBox
I want one of those responses from Otterbox. I'm willing to wait a little longer for a small discount.
Well I got a tracking email sent from fedex with no sender info. It's either this or another order I placed. The reason I think it could be my case is because my other shipment I'm expecting is a crate of ammunition, which certainly weighs way more than the 1 pound my tracking is showing.
Otterbox said that email should be received any anyone who ordered before today.

Finally received the Ottorbox Defender case. Ordered 7/21!
Well worth the wait! Absolutley fantastic case. I removed my clearview screen saver and put on the Otterbox. Fits like a glove, no bubbles as
previous year. Excellent protection. Holder is great and doubles as a stand!
Great product. Anyone want to buy a Black Bumper pm me!

I sent mine back for a refund. The two plastic pieces never fit snuggly. Loved the 3GS one but this one was poor.
Are you sure they were for the iPhone 4? There is no "Defender Cases" in the Red and Black color combination for the iP4 listed on the Otterbox website.
