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.

Guess we will find out later when the poster puts up the pics, but now that you mention I've never heard of a Red/Black combo.
 
Here's a few pics of an iPhone in a Defender next to one without a case.

Stopped by Best Buy in Huntsville today.

They had just received a bunch of Red/Black Otterbox Defender Cases for the iPhone 4. I picked one up. I will post some pics tonight if anyone would like to see it.

Yeah, we're going to need pics for proof as even Otterbox has stated that their iP4 cases are available at retail outlets yet.

I can confirm that Best Buy is carrying the Otterbox Defender cases in hideous blue and hideous red.

No black. No buy.
 
does anybody know if there will be a restocking fee if we buy one from best buy to use now and return it later? i want black...
 
none at my local best buy buy hopefully they will get them in tomorrow. I kind of like the Red one, it won't be my primary case anyway so I am not all that worried about the color.
 
I am sure this case is perfect for drop protection but man, it makes iphone so buffed up and thicker than a blackberry :eek:
 
Shoot. I just ordered mine online from the Otterbox web site and now have to wait between 10 and 15 business days. I would much rather pick one up at Best Buy even if I have to choose from a red or blue one. Does anyone know if I can cancel my order and not be charged if I do so before it ships?

Speaking of my online order, I never got the option to upgrade the shipping option, so it's just being sent USP ground. Is a faster option possible? They say you are sent a tracking number when it does ship. Are tracking numbers possible for UPS ground shipments?

I hope I can just buy it locally.
