So I spend $50 on this case and have to buy something else to get rid of the moisture problem? I just bought my case last night and the moisture is driving me crazy already. UGH....

For as much as they want for a case to protect your phone, I think it's pretty unreasonable. Putting powder on your phone is just not a good idea. It will eventually find it's way into your phone. Think of the mess that will cause. I honestly can't believe they would recommend doing this. Like I said, to buy a case like this and have to turn around and buy another product to get it function properly is bad business.

i have been looking for fix for this for a long time..thanks for the fix. i will try it tomorrow.

Easy fix for this. Put an anti-glare screen protector on your iPhone before sliding it in the case. Poof! Bubbles/moisture/condensation look all gone. Worked on mine, my brother's and several other posters. Also, put it in the holster screen in and it won't flip out as easily.

Yeah I'm having this problem.....Honestly....It's stupid. Why can't otterbox fix the problem. I just ripped the built in screen cover and threw on an invisheild and it works fine...Hope this helps everyone else.

the best solution to this is buy a DLO Surface Shield Anti-Glare Screen Protection for iPhone. stick it to your iphone. I bought 5 different cheap screen protectors and all does not work only DLO Anti-Glare Screen Protection works.

I can't find the reference to this on the company's web site. Where do you put the powder? On the phone, on the inside of the Ott Box or on the outside?

I have a 4s and I read somewhere that the "oil slick" is due to static and to wipe inside of the screen protector GENTLY with a dryer sheet to remove the static. Just tried it and it worked perfectly!

Hmmm ... I thought it was in the FAQ on the Support tab, but it isn't there now ... sorry for not verifying before I posted ... but in any case I found this youtube video from Otterbox, which is even better --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYF7gM_YalM ... good luck!

Good point, yes it is. I actually do not like the screen protector thing and I remove them.I have not had any problem with the screens on either of the two iPhones we own.

I had no problems or concerns with edge to edge coverage, but I also use an otter box defender case. Became disenchanted with armorsuit after moisture somehow got under the screen after a years use. They DID offer a free replacement screen but postage was ridiculous. I would use that money to invest in a good case.

Just the defender series which I have and it works great my first one had a decent gap between screen and the protector but I contacted otter box and they sent me a replacement very fast and now it's nice and snug against the screen

I was also wondering the same thing. Has anyone found out yet? I checked the otterbox website too and couldn't find a thing

The case friendly screen is great, but, the case you use may cause an issue. My wife and I both have this screen protector and have the encase iPhone case. There are no issues because of the way the case fits the phone. My daughters have a Frogg case and the design of the case causes a small issue. The bottom corners of this case can overlap the screen and slightly lift it. It's not a big deal, but, the screen can lift at these points. Finally, the screen protector is awesome just be careful what case you use. I just installed a HD Zagg on my wife's new iPad mini. It looks and feels awesome. I know the screen is well protected. Good luck and I hope this helped. The case friendly screen is great, but, the case you use may cause an issue. My wife and I both have this screen protector and have the encase iPhone case.

Had the same problem with mine and I was able to go onto the otterbox website and click on warranty. That will guide you through the warranty process. I had to take a few pictures of the case and upload to otterbox and they sent out a new outer cover withing a few days. When you go on the otterbox web site the support tab is the fourth from the left. Hover over it and you will see the drop down menu. Directly under "contact otterbox" is the option to submit a warranty claim. When you get your new cover try not to take it off and put it back on too many times. I used to take mine off once a week to rinse it off and that's when mine started to stretch out. I have just left my new one on and I haven't had an issue.

Even though I had screen protester on and the case from Speck, after I dropped my phone, it had a line on the screen. I have tried two of the case from Spigen, it does not feel, it is protected. I had to order Otter box for more protection, but it does not feel I hold an iPhone 5s, the case is huge, I think I have to go back to Speck and always put in a wristlet. My hubby does not like huge Otterbox, so I am ordering this Speck case for him. Sadly can't find a good protected case.

Me too. I think that's all too common with tempered glass screen covers. The good news is that the problem, at least for me, gets better over time and the cover now sticks better.

The screen cover is thicker than Otterbox. I have put it together but have not used it yet. It is less sensitive to the touch than an Otterbox cover. I figure that is a requirement to be wateproof

I haven't experienced the problem with bubbles with the Armorbox that I purchased. With regard to your second point about the scratches, in a sense that is precisely the point. The protective screen is there to take the scratches that would otherwise end up directly on the screen of your iPhone.

I have used an aerosol electronic dust cleaner and sprayed the iPhone and the screen of the otterbox and that seemed to clear up the oily look. Same for the otterbox on my iPad. Hope this helps!

I am not having that problem at all, but I also have a screen protector that was put on my phone before I got my otterbox. So I actually have 2 screen protectors, one on my phone and one that came with my otterbox, and have no problems with touch screen functions.

I buy otterbox for all my phones and on this specific one with no problems ever.I have had mine in 2 of these cases for over a year and I'm also glad that they left the IR blaster exposed for television contols and the built-in screen protector is great.

I have never used an otterbox, but I believe that comes with it's own screen protector. I cannot really answer if it will work for another case. I use mine directly on a phone itself along with a slim armour case. And I love it. GGreat visibility.

No. The otter box already come with a screen protector built into it and if you put another screen protector on it, it will cause problems with your touch screen because of the two layers of protection

I actually had 2 covers, one I got from Verizon and a otterbox and had no problems with either cover. It stays on perfect. I dont think I will ever use another screen protector. Cases fit perfect, protector doesn't move at all when changing cases.
