iPhone 4 OtterBox Case

I have tested under all conditions that I photographed without the case (except true night darkness, as I have only had the case since this afternoon) and I cannot detect a difference in quality between no case and with case.
Do you have any kind of screen protector on with it in the Otterbox? Looks like the built-in screen protector is laying down very nicely with no visable bubbles at all. From just looking at your pics, it looks like they used more of a matte screen protector than clear. Does it affect the screen quality at all? That was one of my main concerns. Also, is the Apple logo cut out in the back just open or is there a built-in screen protector there? Thanks for sharing your pics and answering all our questions.
I too would like to hear about how you like the built-in screen protector. No bubbles or anything that makes the screen look bad???
Still can't track my tracking number to see when I get mine. Fedex keeps showing that it's not in their system yet.
I ordered ip4 Otterbox Defenders yesterday. I received confirmation almost immediately after I put in my order. This morning I got another email from Otterbox, a receipt. On it was my Fedex 2nd day tracking number! Yes, I can track it on the Fedex website. Wow!
Really interested in if the "water mark" issue has been resolved with the screen protector.
I pre ordered a Power Support Anti Glare just in case but if the issue has been resolved I'll cancel that order.

Everyone that have gotten their cases already. I was wondering if you have any problems with the echo in the call (receiver end) that plagued the 3g cases? Also, the stats show that it is significally smaller than the 3g defender. For those that have both, is it really a big size difference? I was wondering becuase I plan to carry mine in a pocket.
And until thats confirmed by a user, its just words. I really dont care if the bubble issue is there or not, i learned to live with it with my 3g, I just know that Otterbox has yet to disappoint me and I'm curious to see if they stuck by their word.
With regards to watermark and screen protector questions.
My 3GS experienced extreme watermarking. The pics I shared are bare iphone4 with the otterbox protector only on the front. It is seamless. It is the one area where I feel like otterbox may have improved the design, the rest just being manipulating the concepts to fit the form factor. Very pleasing touch and responsiveness. After one days use it seems more resistant to fingerprinting, though that may just be what I perceive after so little use.
I am happy to share and assist with questions I can answer.

I'm in the same spot as you. I placed my order yesterday around noon or so, got my confirmation email, but no ship email yet. I'm kinda frustrated!!
Thanks for the update and glad it sounds like they fixed the one flaw I had with the defender with my 3Gs.
From what I see, this has the exact same flash hole as just about every other case. I dont see how it couldnt have flash washout =(
