Otterbox Commuter case - HTC Droid DNA

Just got mine yesterday. It feels slippery and big, lol. The volume rocker seems to respond well, the power button doesn't seem as easy to press. And the rear noti LED is covered, which is not a deal breaker for me however.
I need to give it some time I guess. Using the phone without a case this past week has made me fall in love with the feel of this phone. But i am also scared of dropping it so I will give it a few days.

I should be getting mine tomorrow... Wait I better check the mail today.

AFAIK, the commuter series is meant to feel slippery so it can more easily slide in and out of your pocket. As for feeling big, that's probably just because it's a big phone.

Yes, I will try to post some pics today. After spending the day with it yesterday, it feels fine now.
Just took some getting used to.

I would also love to see how this case looks.

If you use a razor you can cut along the long side of the power button making a small slit in the silicon. It releases a lot of the tension in the power button. Makes it very usable

Whew... makes it a bit thicker! To be expected from Otterbox, though. Looks like a nice case! You're not too far from me... I live near Keene.

Cool! The pics make it look thicker than it really is. I am happy with the commuter case. Lots thinner than the defender.

Nice, what size drill bit did you use? 1/8 inch?

It had to at least been a quarter inch. I made a little video. My method of measuring actually worked pretty nicely. I'll show you guys in a bit.

Much appreciated! I heard these cases have a desensitized power button. Is that true for you? And if so, how did you address it?

I think the Commuter case has been notorious for hard/misaligned buttons. I suggest doing finger exercises. This has dual function. Helps strengthen your trigger finger. That's the one I use for the power.
If anyone has suggestions, I'd be willing to try them out honestly.

I thought I read that someone did some sort of cut or incision to relieve the tension. But I can't reference it; forgot where it is.
