The Otter box Defender is probably the best purchase I could have made for my tour and I highly recommend it.

I would look at the OtterBox Commuter because it has the rubber protection with a smooth hard shell to help it glide in and out of your pocket. http://www.otterbox.com/blackberry-cases/blackberry-storm/blackberry-storm2-cases/blackberry-storm2-commuter-case/ Neither.

It's not as strong as the naked phone but you can feel it. I have my calls and emails set to vibrate twice and then ring. I usually feel the vibrate within the holster and pickup before it gets to a ring. You can customize the length of vibration and also the ring volume with the Tour. Yes you can feel it vibrate.

I work in industrial maintenance and love this case. I was sitting at a conference table with my boss and he asked me what I had in my hand. I slammed the phone to the table, then I told him it was a BB tour and that's why it has the Otterbox. I think I made a believer out of him. It's armor for your investment.

This releases the top half of the shell from the bottom half.
