Has anyone tried the Otterbox Defender with the new 3GS phone?

Yes the screen leaves a watermark, but a small blast of baby powder will get rid of them. Just hold the screen protector ABOVE the baby powder and squeeze the bottle, causing a small puff of powder to rise up into the film.
No, there is no decrease in picture quality.

do you have to apply more pressure then usual on the touch screen and is there any lag present?
I have the Defender case on my 32GB and it works really well. No problems with screen sensitivity at all. I did the baby powder trick as well. The other common complaint for the Defender case is that those on the other end can hear an echo when you speak. I found that I have this if I hold my hand down by the mic, but if I hold the phone higher up on the phone (i.e. up near the apple logo) and keep the heel of my hand away from the mic, no echo is present at all.
I have one on my 3GS as well and it works just fine with no problems what so ever on screen sensitivity through the membrane.
This baby powder trick. Is it done on the inside of the case before you put your iPhone in or afterwards on the OUTSIDE of the film?

I am also a otterbox defender user. I really like this case. Yes, there is a watermark effect. The funny thing is I had forgotten about it until I started reading this thread.
i have this case and i must say it is amazing. i also have a Power Support Anti Glare screen protector on my iphone 3gs's screen and THERE IS NO WATERMARK FROM THE OTTERBOX. instead of potentially harming your iphone by putting baby powder on it, put the power support anti glare on it and you will no longer have watermark. also, the power support anti glare protector doesnt have that weird feel like other anti glare protectors.
You don't blast the baby powder. It should be so light that you might not even see the powder in the air. It is so small amount of powder that there is no way any damage could happen.
