I bought the Apple case for now. I like it so far because it is slim, although I'm not sure how much protection it provides.
I was just taking a look at the Otterbox Commuter, but it doesn't seem to protect the front. I was afraid the Defender would be too bulky, and it sounds like it would be for me.
I don't have one for my iPhone bacause I don't like the bulkiness. I use an InCase Slider for my iPhone 4. Not too bulky and slips in/out of my pocket easily. Decent protection too.

Adrian, it definately turns the ipad into a beast. One other thing is that the Defender for the ipad just has a stick-on screen protector. The back pops off and snaps on the front for protection when it's not in use, traveling, etc.
If kids are involved, it's a great idea. If not, the slipcover is fine.
I had a slipcover (Apple) and I hated it. Mainly because it was cheap and the material (rubber?) picked up all kinds of dirt. It just got plain gross from the kids.
