    Hey carlos do you think this would work with the rebel arctic? Theres a water mark in between the silicon and the skeleton.

  29. by xWilliamLauxNo Gravatar, on October 28 2008 @ 8:56 pm

    yeah, does the otterbox screen smudge or scratch? Cuz it looks like it’s in really good shape when you had it for a month

    thats a really cool tip i wonder how who ever figured this out figured this out lol

    fantastic !

  34. by Tweak589No Gravatar, on November 23 2008 @ 7:15 pm

    I bought the case-mate naked case for the iPhone, and found out after I ordered it from online that it has the watermark effect. I am glad I found this video, because I don’t want a screen protector. I hope this will work fine for me on the naked case!

  35. by chopper82pNo Gravatar, on November 26 2008 @ 2:30 pm

    thats a nice trick for the watermark.

  36. by deemerchNo Gravatar, on December 5 2008 @ 6:46 am

    cool fix man, thanks for spreading the word.

  37. by CCDeepNo Gravatar, on December 7 2008 @ 1:00 pm

    Another solution is to clean your iPhone screen with iKlear apple polish, the laptop screen cleaner. It leaves an antistatic film behind that also helps with the watermark. Takes a couple tries to get it perfect, don’t polish it off too hard.

  38. by magnum115No Gravatar, on December 10 2008 @ 8:08 pm

    Great Review! What I did with mine was rubbed the screen with my palm.

  39. by ikymfn99No Gravatar, on December 15 2008 @ 11:55 am

    Nice, I got the case as well, works kick ass.

  40. by totalwowfaceNo Gravatar, on December 16 2008 @ 12:49 pm

    i have a case (dont know the brand) for my PSP and it had a crazy watermark (even though you dont touch a psp screen it pissed me off) and this worked perfect for it.

  41. by godzillaiphoneNo Gravatar, on December 30 2008 @ 3:41 pm

    you can just rub your hand across the screen without a screen cover and the water marks go away

  42. by PanandaNo Gravatar, on December 31 2008 @ 5:23 pm

    does this work with film screen protectors? like the kind you peel and stick on

  43. by AiroysterNo Gravatar, on January 1 2009 @ 8:30 pm

    This video was the deal maker for me.I saw the original review of the OtterBox Defender,but was concerned about the water marks on the screen.Thanks for following up Carlos. +1 subscriber!

  44. by ADNolandNo Gravatar, on January 5 2009 @ 11:05 am

    works perfect, thanks a lot.

  45. by MATT099122No Gravatar, on January 11 2009 @ 1:57 pm

    I searched for a Screen Protector for my phone, because i heard that worked to get rid of the watermark and well thanks to where i live nobody had one, so i looked for another way and found this video, it worked great!

  46. by capwellkidNo Gravatar, on January 16 2009 @ 7:53 am

    I wonder if this would work on the watermarking you get from the clear Arctic Switcheasy Rebel? It drives me crazy but I am afraid to use the powder on the back of my phone.

  47. by PizzscnNo Gravatar, on January 19 2009 @ 7:09 pm

    Do they make those for the iPod touch?? If so, where do I get one?

  48. by PizzscnNo Gravatar, on January 19 2009 @ 7:17 pm

    no actually one of the times you forgot to wipe the screen

  49. by ravimylavarapuNo Gravatar, on January 19 2009 @ 8:03 pm

    This was a great Video. It worked for me first time. It was a good idea to put this on Youtube.

  50. by rogdogginNo Gravatar, on January 24 2009 @ 2:31 pm

    It’s amazing how well this works. Thanks so much for the video.

  51. by cuteboo2No Gravatar, on January 29 2009 @ 10:15 am

    OMG!!! IT’S WORK!! Whoever got this idea…. you genius, man!! PEACE!!

  52. by 114sexyboy114No Gravatar, on January 30 2009 @ 11:02 am

    funny at the end “im gona go kick her ass” lol

  53. by fire4u93No Gravatar, on January 31 2009 @ 4:42 pm

    Great idea, I love it! and ya, the ending is funny as all hell!

  54. by mkiitmr2No Gravatar, on February 5 2009 @ 1:30 pm

    Hey Carlos. Have you considered trying the Baby Powder Trick on the Black Switcheasy NEO? I bet a little baby powder between the phone and the silicone part of the NEO would help it fit better. Even you pointed out that the white is not as sticky as the black. You can see how shiny the black is in the video making it stickier than the white. Maybe this could be the difference. If it works let me know! Thanks.

  55. by ShadySk8rboyNo Gravatar, on February 18 2009 @ 1:15 pm

    yes they do!only 2G thoughthere website otterbox(dot)com

  56. by PizzscnNo Gravatar, on February 19 2009 @ 11:20 am

    good. I’m getting a 2G hopefully by the end of July

  57. by oromocto503No Gravatar, on February 27 2009 @ 11:08 pm

    ya they make defenders for itouches im getting a 1 gen or they have 2 gen.

  58. by tushiemonsterNo Gravatar, on March 1 2009 @ 11:42 pm

    Can I use an InvisibleSHIELD full setup with this??

  59. by 400exkid95No Gravatar, on March 2 2009 @ 9:48 pm

    why does everyone have the crappy invisible shield

  60. by paul1349No Gravatar, on March 4 2009 @ 4:19 pm

    hi carlos it a good case the only thing is the water mark heat it up with a hair blower,and the window will come right off,then put a reuglar shield end of the problem.thank you. paul

  61. by nicklikecowsNo Gravatar, on March 8 2009 @ 12:06 pm

    so does it really matter if it has aloe and other moisturizers in it?

  62. by JonMoffNo Gravatar, on March 14 2009 @ 11:22 am

    OMG thank you so much, those water marks got me sooooooo pissed off. But another way to do this without any foriegn shit, is to leave the case and the ipod all opened up and lay it next to a heater vent all night. Then the next morning wake up and clean it all and put it all back together and there shouldnt be any water marks!!

  63. by tyrael2012No Gravatar, on March 16 2009 @ 6:52 am

    thanks this really helped

  64. by NeverisforeverNo Gravatar, on March 17 2009 @ 9:24 am

    Thank you morphious. This really worked well. This is right now my favorite case. My switcheasy Capsul rebel serpent in white hasnt come in yet but thank you for all the reviews. cause of you i saved alot of money.

  65. by shmilykirNo Gravatar, on March 24 2009 @ 2:43 pm

    defender is better then intact

  66. by ChillinCherokeeNo Gravatar, on March 25 2009 @ 11:20 pm

    i mean how many times are you going to cover the EXACT same thing in the same video? Really? We get your point. It could have been covered in 30 seconds.

  67. by R3dn3ckC0wb0yF0rLif3No Gravatar, on March 28 2009 @ 1:24 pm

    Will the baby powder harm the ipod/iphone?

  68. by Thatkid5465No Gravatar, on April 1 2009 @ 5:13 pm

    wow this is amazing!!! works really well!! when my case came in and i put it on my ipod 2g i noticed the air bubble thing and this got rid of it!! !thx!!! this is my fav case too!!!

  69. by kp13uaeNo Gravatar, on April 2 2009 @ 1:45 am

    Carlos, THANK YOU SO MUCH for doing such a wonderful visual. No way anyone can’t get this. Thanx to the person who told you too. My iPhone works with the Anti-Glare. My son’s iPod Touch was full of Water Marks until your video.Can you help, these cases don’t fit Speaker Jacks or Car Radio/Chargers. Any ideas. Ciao Kaz

  70. by BroncoDude19No Gravatar, on April 9 2009 @ 7:48 pm

    This also works for the Quattro T2 by Ivyskin Thanks Carlos

  71. by moy4you2No Gravatar, on April 13 2009 @ 12:39 pm

    Say how about using a blow drier ?

  72. by bluexlife18No Gravatar, on April 15 2009 @ 9:02 pm

    This really does work i just got my case even though knowing there was a water mark but i didnt think itd bother me but it hella did but this toatally fixed it thanks so much :)

  73. by rgalesNo Gravatar, on April 19 2009 @ 12:56 am

    Perfect thanx, took about 5 goes to get it so there was no dust and no sticking but couldn’t be happier. That was the only thing that bugged me about this case!

  76. by cew417No Gravatar, on April 30 2009 @ 8:15 pm

    You the man…worked great. otter box referred me to your video. thanks!

  77. by buddywilliams79No Gravatar, on May 9 2009 @ 11:20 pm

    THIS REALLY WORKS!!! like carlos said, it may take you a few trial and error trys, but eventually it works. Just a tip, if you buy the smaller bottle like i did, waste a bit before you begin to shake. Gold Bond is really good about filling their bottles to the top. I found this out the hard way and got covered in baby powder with just a tiny squeeze.

  78. by AllThingsMac1No Gravatar, on May 10 2009 @ 11:05 am

    thx i did it when i woke up and so far its good!!!thx!!!

  79. by Reviewer2112No Gravatar, on May 16 2009 @ 8:30 am

    If you had the invisibleSHEILD on would the watermark still show up?

  80. by icnCMYKNo Gravatar, on May 17 2009 @ 2:56 pm

    I just did this and it works great! That watermark was my only complaint with the case, but this fixed it with 5 minutes and some patience.

  81. by JOSH36DWNo Gravatar, on May 20 2009 @ 8:33 pm

    haha

  82. by x1oFaKnDxNo Gravatar, on May 21 2009 @ 9:05 pm

  83. by hotdognobunNo Gravatar, on May 24 2009 @ 2:20 am

    just take off the otterbox screen off if you already have a screen protector

  84. by appleshineeNo Gravatar, on May 29 2009 @ 8:39 am

    Thanks man, I just got an iphone yesterday and the little watermark on my screen protector was driving me CRAZY I KNEW there had to be a way to fix it!!!

  85. by ItalianGuy101No Gravatar, on May 29 2009 @ 8:11 pm

    Ugh this didnt work for me and its extremely upsetting… i need more help

  86. by zrogonNo Gravatar, on June 2 2009 @ 9:54 am

    Carlos, you’re my hero, and whoever thought of this first, YOU ROCK !!! :) I’m using an Invisible Shield, and this method works only if you’re willing to sacrifice some picture quality – it’s a little more dusty than I’d like, but it’s still better quality-wise, than with an antiglare screen. I had to apply the powder to both the phone and the Defender, took me about half an hour to do it, but it worked. It was actually more difficult to get the phone with the shield into the Defender itself.

  87. by zrogonNo Gravatar, on June 2 2009 @ 9:55 am

    That’s a very bad idea, you not only loose the warranty on the product, but also the protection, which is much more significant, than most of the screen protectors out there.

  88. by carwrecka13833No Gravatar, on June 2 2009 @ 6:21 pm

    WOW!!!! I just did this to mine and it worked perfectly… who ever thought?? but anyway thanks to you and the person who thought of this. AWESOME!!!

  89. by Foskey83No Gravatar, on June 9 2009 @ 6:19 am

    How exactly would you lose the warranty?

  90. by sirsosayNo Gravatar, on June 9 2009 @ 10:18 am

    Don’t put powder on your iPhone guys.. check out my video response.

  91. by sdnnhyNo Gravatar, on June 15 2009 @ 11:16 pm

    this case is awesome

  94. by XxMsrSzprzxXNo Gravatar, on June 22 2009 @ 9:01 am

    Coulden’t you put a teeny bit of the baby powder onto the cloth and wipe it into the screen or not?

  95. by kosbrgrNo Gravatar, on June 24 2009 @ 2:43 pm

    works awesome!

  96. by thephilmasterNo Gravatar, on June 24 2009 @ 8:38 pm

    i just wanted to say that the much quicker way to solve this is to just get the power support anti-glare film. put it onto iphone first, then put on the defender case. it looks perfect, and no drop in screen sensitivity at all. (i didn’t try it one the screen protector, just the anti-glare one, and that’s why i recommend it)

  97. by helicopterkid1996No Gravatar, on June 26 2009 @ 8:25 pm

    Sorry carlos i accidently rated it one. Im really sorry!

  98. by petro62No Gravatar, on June 27 2009 @ 11:19 am

    I tried several things to get rid of that mark. One was the skin oils they suggest and then I tried a couple different screen shields. The one from Apple worked best. The Power Support ani-glare worked fantastic. No issues at all.

  99. by Brianoleary420No Gravatar, on July 2 2009 @ 3:47 pm

    Thanks buddy.

  100. by deluqjNo Gravatar, on July 3 2009 @ 6:54 am

  101. by chicagoboy2105No Gravatar, on July 3 2009 @ 9:36 pm

    Hey carlos i just wanted to know if the inside of the otterbox screen was sticky or not bc i saw a video on ebay of a guy pulling a clear plastic off the inside.

  102. by drmaridjanNo Gravatar, on July 4 2009 @ 1:50 am

    thanks

  103. by whtcrackNo Gravatar, on July 4 2009 @ 7:12 pm

    thanks… works perfectly!!!!!

  104. by jhonston666No Gravatar, on July 4 2009 @ 7:30 pm

    Otterbox-Defender.. Thank for the first review,it pretty much sold me on it,i’d like to get one i think,after i see that there it nearly no negative reviews.The only concern about the powder is that it could be abrasive and scratch the iphone screen or the otterbox screen.

  105. by CanarsieKhaosNo Gravatar, on July 6 2009 @ 1:39 pm

    Hi. Do you think this method will work on the Capsule Rebel Arctic case? It seems to have a love for watermarking. lol.

  106. by Nikelis2No Gravatar, on July 7 2009 @ 11:11 am

    Am i the only one who is kinda confused as to why he calls watermarks what we call air bubbles?

  107. by Cav92476No Gravatar, on July 7 2009 @ 10:07 pm

    That worked like a charm! Thanks!

  108. by The1NonlyMistroNo Gravatar, on July 10 2009 @ 3:18 pm

    to anybody thinking about buying a otterbox defender for the ipod touch 2nd gen. it is shipped with a plastic film on the inside of the inside of the screen protecter. DONT REMOVE IT! it will eliminate the wattermarking 100% an will not effect the ipod working. its that simple people!

  109. by 7Maclynn7No Gravatar, on July 16 2009 @ 9:08 am

    will this damage the iphone in anyway or mess it up?

  110. by iPodTouch1024No Gravatar, on July 16 2009 @ 7:10 pm

    you dont get a water mark if you dont use a screen shield

  111. by wess24mNo Gravatar, on July 17 2009 @ 3:49 am

    you rock man, worked perfect, that oil spot thing was driving me nuts.

  112. by Mungo532No Gravatar, on July 18 2009 @ 11:15 am

    This worked great. I have a 1st gen iphone and the iphone defender case and this solved my biggest criticism of the case, thanks for passing the knowledge around. peace.

  113. by papasteve07No Gravatar, on July 20 2009 @ 12:56 pm

    no…An invisible cloud of dust isnt going to do anything to an iphone

  114. by cailey1972No Gravatar, on July 20 2009 @ 3:14 pm

    Anyone try the SGP anit-fingerprint screen??

  115. by crazzypuddNo Gravatar, on July 21 2009 @ 5:51 pm

    THIS TOTALY WORKS GREAT!!!!! I just got a clear iPhone case for my 3G S and when I got the case on there would be a bunch of water marks in the back. So I got some baby powder and do what Carlos says to do and it worked perfectly!!! I’m so happy!!!

  116. by padrinoceNo Gravatar, on July 23 2009 @ 7:41 pm

    did anyone try this with the otterbox from blackberry?… looks like a good deal, thanks for the video bro!

  117. by damiandesignNo Gravatar, on July 25 2009 @ 1:11 am

    Hey Morphious, Do you still have the transparent protective screen on the iphone befor putting it in the case?

  118. by FrinkrudsNo Gravatar, on July 25 2009 @ 5:58 pm

    just did it, awesome! just to clarify there is NO damage because the baby powder is applied to the CASE, not to the iphone, and the amount of baby powder is insignificant. again, this method works great – and is essentially FREE if you have baby powder in your house (compared to anti-glare).

  119. by JonNo Gravatar, on July 27 2009 @ 9:57 pm

    This totally worked on my defender case for the ipod 2g. I was going to get the anti-glare for 15 bucks but this is great. Awesome unique tip and great explanation on your video.

  120. by skinnerc06No Gravatar, on July 29 2009 @ 3:40 pm

    this works thanks alot. but in my honest opinion, you cant have too much white powder.

  121. by BDeming5No Gravatar, on August 2 2009 @ 9:01 pm

    dude talk about knowing youre on camera.. cut to the chase dude, this isnt rocket science..

  122. by SteveTech83No Gravatar, on August 5 2009 @ 1:01 pm

    Great Vid!!! Can’t wait to try this!!!

  123. by iwflzNo Gravatar, on August 5 2009 @ 3:17 pm

    When you puff the baby powder, if you hold the iPhone a couple feet above the bottle, you’ll get a finer mist (don’t let big particles drop downward onto it). I got the best results this way – and also by puffing the iPhone itself and not the Defender case.

  124. by spiddy9693No Gravatar, on August 7 2009 @ 7:48 pm

    is not an air bubble because air bubbles is trapped air but watermarks are caused when the protector makes contact with the ipod or w/e and causes it to look like trpped water srry i cant really explainit

    can u do the same thing with a the shades case?

  128. by BeachSurfer434No Gravatar, on August 12 2009 @ 12:03 am

    Thanks man. This has probably been one of the most helpful hints on youtube. I had the defender case and i had a little water mark, i was very skeptical about taking the case off since i was scared that i would just end up having a bigger water mark; but this tip had really taken away the water marks. Yeah it does take some time to work it out, but it does work. Mine had worked when i sprayed it, left it for a minute, then wiped it and no water mark!Thanks Morphious you really know you stuff

    I guess corn starch is the same thing as talc (according to wiki it is anyway) so I used that. It worked beautifully! Thanks for the tip!!

  133. by cameraflyerNo Gravatar, on August 22 2009 @ 12:55 am

    I’ve tried every suggestion Otterbox threw at me.. From applying the screen protector they sent me, to rubbing my fingers on the membrane, to putting a drop of dish soap in 2 cups of water and rubbing the membrane with that. Nothing worked until I watched this video.It is a bit tricky to get just the right amount of powder on the membrane but this works the best.The people at Otterbox are complete idiots but they make one hell of a cover.

  134. by ifeelokNo Gravatar, on August 22 2009 @ 1:42 am

    Pretty F*d up we have to do this. Worked somewhat for me, but when I press hard I still get the marks. May not be doing it as well as you idk. Thanks for the tips man.

    stumbled on your video about otterbox by mistake, as we have just got 2 new ipone 3Gs thought i would try cases, fantastic will protec my wife’s as she is really clumsy. Dropped it on the fist day, but really disappointed by screen and water mark, then saw this, FANTASTIC, did it with TALC and it great, u are a a hero, However clip broke first day Otterbox sent 2 from china in a week , thats good service, New to youtube, how do i send you a message rather than post a comment, Ta andy in ENGLAND

    another otterbox user giving great thanks for this tip!! I just picked up my 3GS yesterday to replace my 2g iphone that got wet while riding my motorcycle. I decided to prevent further accidental rain situations I would get an otterbox and be done with it. I too had a terrible watermark but i was gonna do what I could to deal with it due to the case being that great in every other way. Then I stumble on this video and I have no more watermark problems!!! Thanks a ton!

  142. by damon5116No Gravatar, on September 1 2009 @ 2:18 pm

    I believe you have to cut it out because it is actually part of the front of the case

    wow man… i was pulling my hair out for a while trying to get that oil mark to disappear. Tried everything till i saw this video..Big Up!! Thanks man!!!

  144. by ronbpennNo Gravatar, on September 4 2009 @ 11:40 am

    This is not what you need to do. NO POWDER!!! All you need to do is go to the Apple store and buy the anti glare screen protector and that will totally take care of the watermark. The watermark will come back if you use powder…

  145. by ldubb31No Gravatar, on September 4 2009 @ 2:56 pm

    Yeah the anti glare screen protector worked like a charm.

  146. by tom43491No Gravatar, on September 5 2009 @ 12:21 pm

    I bought a 5-pack of screen protectors from Best Buy for $10, made by DLO. I installed one directly on my iPhone, then installed the otterbox, and the watermark effect is completely gone. I would use one over any type of powder, which might scratch the screen, or any type of solution applied to the screen. Just go buy a cheap screen protector and apply it under the otterbox, and you are done.

  147. by thamasthaNo Gravatar, on September 5 2009 @ 5:31 pm

    Hey, great vid! The watermarks do come back after a while but not as bad as they used to… But thanks!

  148. by elckickerNo Gravatar, on September 6 2009 @ 6:57 pm

    The guy should make a little pack with a little bottle of powder, a screen protector, and a cleaning cloth and sell it for 20 bucks. LOL!

    Great video, thanks for taking the time out to do it.Before I came across your video I actually contacted Otterbox in which they sent me an e-mailed on how to remove the water mark. Again thanks for the video.

    EZ and extra super awesome! Got it on the 2nd try, and I was kind of sloppy about it too! I love tricks like this that actually work! THANK YOU!

  151. by aclay456No Gravatar, on September 15 2009 @ 1:58 pm

    This is a shot out, to whoever thought of this, I have both a plastic protection film and the otterbox, the marks disappeared after i used dr. Sholls oder shoe shot, I didn’t have powder so it worked just the same. Ingenious, I must say,

    Yes, Waterman is correct. The powder trick worked a little bit but I could see the powder and that bugged me. I got an anti-glare screen and it completely went away. Best case out there if you don’t mind the extra bulk.

    ok this may be a little ghetto, but whatever…i looked throughout my house and turns out no baby powder soo i thought maybe just anything thats a really fine/light dust would work sooooo… i have a chinchilla and they take sandbaths and everytime you pour the sand in there bath house thing smoke always comes out so i grabbed the bath house shook it and a little smoke came out and i barely put my otterbox screen over it and even blew any dust i saw off, put it on and it worked :) very excited!

    i totally just found this vid. I submitted this tip to Otterbox like 2 months ago but never thought to do a vid. Great stuff! Still haven’t gotten a reply from Otterbox yet. Keep the videos coming! Have you had a problem with the phone falling out of the clip. I work in EMS and i have to put my phone in my pocket when I have to carry a response bag because of this. Any recommendations for any other rugged cases?

    Thank you so much Carlos, finally got the water marks away. First time I put a little too much and kinda wiped it off the screen to where I couldn’t see it anymore and the water marks were still gone. :)

  174. by txt0No Gravatar, on October 5 2009 @ 9:10 pm

    you know what i did, i discovered it while cleaning my iphone with a paper towel, generic, not bounty or big brand or else… What i did was, i get completely wet the paper towel, then i clean the screen just to make sure its clear of whatever it gets, then i start like ‘touching’ not sweeping or rubbing just pressing it and taking it out. what what it doest is that you start leaving this paper towel particles almost invisible that will prevent the cover to get stick to the screen. thats all

  175. by mattlivak000No Gravatar, on October 7 2009 @ 2:37 pm

    alright carlose……. i totaly agree with what u did and i think it is awesome and i will use the trick when i get an otterbox…. BUT YOU DONT NEED TO DO IT 50 MILLION TIMES….. 2 TIMES IS OK…. DONT GET ME WRONG, GR8 VID AND I ENJOY ALL OF THEM BUT REALLY…. WE R NOT 5…. AND IF WE NEED TO SEE IT AGAIN WE CAN RELOAD THE PAGE…….

  176. by therevgeorgeNo Gravatar, on October 8 2009 @ 1:26 pm

    Hey Carlos – Your tip on how to get rid of the watermark (air bubbles) on the screen of my Otterbox has made me a fan of yours – and saved the life of my Otterbox! The bubbles were driving me crazy – totally frustrating. After your advice, I sent a nice, invisible baby powder cloud it’s way and the watermark is gone. Totally. No sign of the powder, either. Thanks for the tip! I was getting ready to heave the Otterbox into the pond across the street.

  180. by majorghnNo Gravatar, on October 21 2009 @ 9:55 am

    Do you think the screen protector would hold up if the iPhone landed face down when dropped and the screen hit a pebble on the road? Also, if the Otterbox screen gets scratched or cracked can we buy just that part of the case as a replacement or would we have to buy a whole new case?

  181. by woodjc01No Gravatar, on October 22 2009 @ 8:53 am

    If you don’t have access to baby powder, plain flour will work just the same. It worked for me on my BlackBerry Storm.

  189. by malcookieNo Gravatar, on November 11 2009 @ 4:57 pm

    Got the Otterbox yesterday & used it on the phone all day with the watermark which is really annoying. Came home tonight & used the powder & its perfect now! Great tip. I also can’t rate the Otterbox defender highly enough. Best case ever if like me you need a heavy duty case. I work in engineering & this protects it from all the dust and stuff. Metal dust from grinding used to wreck speakers in my Nokias all the time but the Otterbox has a membrane which does not let dust in. First class.

  190. by asolare123No Gravatar, on November 13 2009 @ 9:22 am

    GREAT TIP ! ! !! Works lie a charm! No more water marks. Took a couple of times to get it right, but a quick sweep with a micro fiber to clean off the powder I put on the screen on the first couple of tries and now I have a screen that looks like there is NO screen protector on it at all ! ! !

  191. by tacoinusaNo Gravatar, on November 13 2009 @ 5:27 pm

    thanks for the tip.. works like a charm. i had that water mark since last week. it had covered about 20% of the middle area. now after 10 tries. i am just left with a 1% at the bottom right corner. i am happy with that. i used a big baby powder bottle. which makes it a little more awkward to work with but that is all i had in the house. at the time. i sure i would of done it in less tries with a small bottle of baby powder.

  192. by tazermeidaNo Gravatar, on November 13 2009 @ 8:38 pm

    Hey, thank you very much, it works like a charm with my iPod Touch 3G. That was driving me batty because it is otherwise an excellent case for our investment. I did one extra step to get rid of any large particles that might cause problems, I gave the screen two or three short bursts of air from the can of compressed air I use to spray out my PC tower, etc. Works like a charm and no more freaking watermarks or minute powder particles either!! Thank you again for the excellent, detailed demonstration, toadfacedfrump

    I watch your channel all time so I figured I’d post this up here. I have this case and you don’t need to do the powder trick or have a screen shield on your iPhone to get rid of the oil slick look. Clean the phone and and clean the inside of the case. Then all you need to do is run the screen 3 times long the palm of your hand. So simple and no more oil slick. Don’t clean the screen again before putting it in the case. No more oil slick.

    I called the people at otterbox….they told me to wipe the screen with oil from my hands and hair and that would solve the problem. The first version of the box I couldn’t hit the spacebar on my Storm…got the free upgrade. Maybe someone at Otter should actually have a phone and try to use it before they mold and make 40,000 units and send them out into the world. I just about hated this company …. Thank you very much for this post…it worked.

    guys the screen fits very snug so any oil from fingers wills show on it i found out if u just wash it and let it dray with a blow dry it fixes the problem completely.

    Hey man thank i tried everything but it didnt seem to work. As soon as i watched you video and followed the steps my otterbox was watermark free. YOU’RE THE BEST

  238. by tomjencccNo Gravatar, on December 31 2009 @ 11:51 am

    I appreciate the time u took to video this solution It appears to have worked, but it could have been explained it less than a min. You should buy an editing program for your video and cut out all the parts where u messed up.

  239. by DalthiusNo Gravatar, on January 2 2010 @ 12:32 am

    Did it in less than 30 seconds, worked like a charm first time. No powder residue, no watermarks. Ok, vid could have been way less than 10 min, but the tip worked. Thanks!

  244. by mada88No Gravatar, on January 10 2010 @ 7:10 am

    I love my otterbox defender case :-) had it nearly a year now and its still going strong. The only problem is like you have said the ring/silent button is hard to switch on and off. But you can cut the hole to make it bigger to get to. Another issue is the rubber flaps can come off after using for a while. Still the best case for protecting your phone bar none.

  245. by dgmorris2009No Gravatar, on January 10 2010 @ 3:52 pm

    I may have a claim for infringement here. I have called my girlfriend “Otter-Box” for years. Not because of any security issues, but because her squack smelled like a nappy fish-eating sea creature who wallowed in penguin shit all day.

  251. by monkeyorduckNo Gravatar, on January 18 2010 @ 6:05 pm

    I used corn starch and a clean make up brush . Only the amount that could be picked up by one finger of the side of the bag and some light brushing. I didn’t have baby powder but corn starch is the primary ingredient.

  252. by PockASqueenoNo Gravatar, on January 18 2010 @ 8:25 pm

    That wasn’t a quick tip. That ten minute video could have easily been two minutes. I’m not going to waste ten minutes trying to get the exact amount of powder…I’ll just get an antiglare screen protector or just deal with the air bubble.

  253. by uscman55No Gravatar, on January 18 2010 @ 10:56 pm

    I was wondering if a water mark and air bubble were the same thing because the lightest touch on my iPhone screen sends a huge bubble across it

  254. by ZblandenNo Gravatar, on January 20 2010 @ 3:03 pm

    Great video

  255. by LightningTHNo Gravatar, on January 20 2010 @ 10:18 pm

    If the baby powder is too full then tap some out onto the table then move the cover thru the small cloud 4 or 5 inches above it. You won’t see any powder on the cover but it will cause the same effect without trying to squeeze the bottle to get it. Works great here.

  256. by mr1990bluechevyNo Gravatar, on January 21 2010 @ 10:00 am

    mine made really bad air bubbles so all i did was touch the screen to get some fingerprints on it like the oil from my fingers….and the was no more bubbles. looks like there is nothing there

  257. by Hbnks9134No Gravatar, on January 21 2010 @ 10:23 am

    work great. if you have any issues with putting too much powder, shake the bottle, put it on the table, press the bottle, you will see a cloud of powder, then with the cloud out there, wave the top section of the plastic outter case in that cloud.. did a great job

  304. by modlifeproductionsNo Gravatar, on February 16 2010 @ 11:37 am

    There is a MUCH better, more protective solution…Simply use an anti-glare screen protector under the case. Works like a charm!

    CHARGER NOT FITTING??? just take a razor cutter and shave the sides of your charger down. I did it for 2 of mine and it worked

  308. by xmusicislifex05No Gravatar, on February 19 2010 @ 9:58 am

    Better way without powdering your phone is the plastic bags comic books come in. Cut it down to size and stick it between your phone screen and the case screen. Bam done with no powder touching your phone

  309. by nicksapp100No Gravatar, on February 19 2010 @ 1:18 pm

    I was almost ready to return my Otterbox Defender case due to the oil slick affect. At first I thought of just removing the original clear film and install a separate one before putting it back in the hard shell. That kinda defeats the purpose of the Otterbox. So Otterbox tech support recommended your video. It worked perfect the first try. Thanks so much!

  310. by PepperfrothNo Gravatar, on February 19 2010 @ 7:37 pm

    I had an anti glare screen protector on my phone when I first got this otterbox in the mail and tried it out. I had the oil slick problem WITH the screen protector on, so I took it off and still had the problem. My guess is it might have to be a particular brand of screen protector to have the same effect as the baby powder, because I still had the issue with one on.

  311. by Jmsnwbrd77No Gravatar, on February 20 2010 @ 12:35 am

    Thanks a bunch for showing this man.I love the Apple design philosophy of simplicity + function and didn’t want a case that robbed the Iphone of it’s beauty. I found it. The Switcheasy “Nude” case in clear. The only thing holding it back from perfection – “oil slick” or “watermarks” on the back of the case. But, low andbehold; “the baby powder fix”. The guy who figured this out = genius. You posting a vid of it = Youtube/Iphone God!! Thanks Morphious!

    Does the Otterbox case make it harder fit into your pocket? Because that case looks really thick and I dont want to use the holster thing that goes on your belt those are for old people. Im a guy not a girl that would put it in her purse.
