Who else has preordered the Defender for their iPhone 5? I ordered the punk color which is slated to ship the 21st.

how come on their site its still in preorder while on amazon its already in stock.

Now I want to buy one but I want the one with red in it but it isnt on sale yet.. now the decision.. wait or buy ahead so I can get this before my phone arrive (prime member) :confused:

I'm getting mine on Wednesday, Otterbox would have sent my order in a few weeks:eek:.

Only difference from Amazon & Otterbox is the limited selection of colors on Amazon.
 
Amazon doesn't have the color I preordered so I don't feel bad. I just hope it ships on time.
 
I ordered an Otterbox commuter through Amazon for my DH. It's in stock in black and has already shipped. I'm suppose to receive it on Tuesday.
 
I ordered the defender from Otterboxes website the day the iPhone 5 was announced but after seeing this thread, I ordered it on amazon a couple days ago and it was just shipped out today and since I am a PRIME member, it looks like I may receive it as early as tomorrow :) woot. I'll post pics once I get it.
 
Can someone with a keener eye tell me if the color referred to as Bolt is red or orange?
 
mine came in from Amazon- super fast delivery- nice.
being as im a belt chip user this improved design made he happy- the rubber is totally different- its very hard not spongy or soft at all- it will work fine if you want to just slip in your pocket- not like the old defenders

Meh I deal with this every time Otterbox makes a new case. The coolest color combination is always either

1) not available at BestBuy
2) never available at launch
