So they are showing an otterbox defender case for the Iphone 5 on verizons website but the only color is black, but right below the description they show part numbers for the other colors.  Any reason they are not offering the other colors yet, they are all over the otterbox site already and i get a good discount here at verizon that i would like to take advantage of.

You would have to contact VZW directly to find out. Chances are it just hasn't updated on the site yet OR they do not have the other colors in stock yet.

they don't have the other cases in stock yet...they are waiting for otterbox to send them out and that won't be until the 21st...so I'm just waiting until then so I can order one here because I get them cheaper from verizon

bit the bullet, already pre-ordered my otterbox defender. Couldn't wait for Verizon to get all the colors available. I too have a good discount as well. I will have both by Friday!

I have no choice but to get the black one, but as far as my wife she does not want that color.  So I know i can probably at least get black on saturday if nothing else she can wait for other colors if needed

My husband tried to tell me to get the black one but I don't want that color lol...so I'll either wait until Friday or pre order from otterbox (which I don't want too)

yah from otter box directly it will cost you $58 49.95 for the case and $8 to ship such a light weight item is crazy.  Its better to wait and basically save $20.  I am not sure if Verizon will get all those colors though

I preordered mine from Otterbox.  They sent an email last week and I ordered immediately.  I liked the color (aqua) and I got the commuter series (I had the Defender, but it is way to bulky for me).  I think it is worth it not to deal with the hassle of a store unless you live in an area where you think there will be a good supply.  Good luck.

I ordered my otter box the same time I ordered the phone.  My otter box defender arrived today and my credit card got charged so I guess things are coming together.

I'm hoping VZW gets other colors in and makes them available soon. Amazon has the black and white defenders. And there is also a review from someone who already received theirs. Appears Otterbox has made a few upgrades to make the iphone 5 case more durable and solid

amazon had like 6 colors a couple days ago and they completely sold out over night,  Just leaving the black in stock and a 1-2 month wait on the Glacier.  Crazy i too hope verizon has them on hand so i can get a discount

For those that want one of these good luck all my verizons are out of them but if you have a discount you can order them from in the store or online if they show the color youw ant online.  And that way you still get to use the discount.
