The Defender has a belt clip and is sticky. The Commuter doesn't have the clip and slips easily into you pocket.

Hey. Actually this model (commuter) is not much sticky as the silicon case goes in and hard shell mostly covers it. Also the exposed silicon is not that sticky and it doesn't create issue in sliding. I think in defender case, the hard shell goes in and all the exterior is silicon; that might be a problem. Thankfully Commuter case design is exactly opposite so it works fine.

Most of the case has the hard cover, so I've found it quite easy to get out of my pants' pocket. It's just the front edge (and a bit on the sides) that the rubber inner cover is exposed, but it's never been an issue.

Actually I don't even use the belt clip part. It's uncomfortable, but I carry it just fine just like you plan to. Just make sure you purchase screen protectors. Other than that for the money I love it. I even dropped my phone more than a few times and no harm done.Hope this helped

Carrie, this is a holster only. I use the phone as it came since mine is a hard shell. It clips directly into the holster. I love mine ! I can't put mine in my pant pockets like other people do. "Old-school" I guess !

Steve,Sorry, I do not use a belt clip. I keep my phone in my front pocket. My belt clip broke after 2 weeks of use with my original Otter case.

Yes it does slide in and out of pockets easily....no sticking with this case. Although it has a rubber like feel its not the "sticky" kind of case. Hope this helps

Yes. It is pretty sturdy in the holster. I like the pure gear vs. Otter as the otter is slippery esp when cold or hands are cold. The pure gear is soft yet not sticky. I've dropped my Note2 several times and it's ok.

The otter commuter is a much lighter case. The belt clip your inquiry about is for the defender which is a bit more bulky. So to answeryour question I don't believe so I'm almost certain of it. Hope this was helpful. Ed

Mine came with a belt clip. The phone hooks into a shell with a clip on the back. I don't use the clip except when I'm working outside. The shell holding the phone can swivel and seems pretty tough.I think the whole Otterbox system is the best protection you can get for your phone! I highly recommend it!

I'm not sure if this will answer your question, a) because the 4G one I bought several months ago has yet to break and need replacement and b) my experience is with a different model- my previous Incredible (original, non-4G) Otterbox Defender cases I have owned had belt clips break on me when mine was still within the one year warranty, and they honored replacing it by sending me an entire new unit, including a new cell phone cover and new belt clip.

The clip slides over the belt, very secure, so much so that I usually just slide my belt through the clip. Not to bad sliding the holster on but taking it off without sliding the belt out is a little tuff, however the holster stay's put.

The case if fine. I have a Ballistic case and it fits easily. An even larger case would still work. Haven't seen or tried the Otterbox DEFENDER case with the belt pouch.

The holster/belt clip is a single piece which snaps on and off of the Defender case. As a result, you can choose to use it (or choose not to use it). The OtterBox Defender Series case is separate from the holster/belt clip and functions as full protection for the phone whether or not the holster/belt clip is utilized.

Hey Ben, first off let me tell you how much I LOVE this case, I also have the same one for my old iphone4!! It has side clips that almost take a very small flat head bc of the sensitive nature of them it's MUCH easier to break vs the older otter boxes which I've always owned them. My suggestion is perhaps a car charger or if you feel the need to supply additional power and wi have heavy usage keep the car charger. For myself personally it's not an easy change. My suggestion is your stay with otterbox because they are TRUELY te best. Try a commuter which is also otter box, less protection but MUCH easier removal. Happy hunting!!

Yes, it slips in and out of pockets easily. It's not sticky, yet the case provides a better grip than just the phone alone.

I can only answer part of the question. It doesn't come with a clip or holster. You put the S4 in a rubber sleeve, then put that in the plastic shell. It also comes with a screen protector which I never use. I don't know if it will fit in your Defender case. I put mine in a leather belt clip case that I had originally gotten for my DROID RAZR. I had to stretch it out for the RAZR with a Commuter. Had to stretch it even more for the S4 with the Commuter. That said, you could probably find a generic case to fit even better than mine. I am just too cheap to buy a new one since mine works for me.

That's why I love Otter Box, it's great for gripping (not quit as rubbery as they were a few years ago but still better than any other case we've owned). Texting is just fine too, no issues. There is only one that I'm aware if that comes with a clip, the ones we only buy, the Defender. Clips over your belt or pants, great for running. There are 2 down falls of Otter Box in my opinion. 1. You have to be careful when cleaning face of case, I take completely off phone, wash with warm soapy water (dish washing liquid) as it gets mucky with finger prints and skin oils 2. When you want to plug the phone into a dock, we end up having to take entire case off as the case doesn't allow for fit, we ended up purchasing a cord that plugged into dock, then the other end plugged into phone. That worked fine but after all these years, you'd think they'd address this big problem. I wouldn't hesitate to buy more Otter Boxes in future. Also if you go on their website, you can build your own, play around with the colors etc. Be careful buying one on eBay, I did so and I'm certain it's not authentic as Otter Box told me they never sold that color before. Hope that helped.

My holster 'belt clip' snapped off twice. The first time it snapped off I was able to simply snap it back in place. The second time it snapped off, it was damaged to the point that it could no longer be snapped back in place. I have decided to replace the holster by purchasing a second "Extreme Rugged" because of the price.
