The OtterBox iPhone case (Defender series) is only 80% awesome. Make it NOT SUCK and jack up its awesomeness to 100% with a few simple hacks: 1) Remove the rubber doors covering the mute, ear bud, and charging ports 2) Grind down larger 3rd party charging cables (if needed) 3) Grind plastic covering next to the mute switch... so your finger can fit in it.
