You have had no complaints from anyone when you spoke to them with the case on?
I did on the original 8700 case. It was much larger than the new Defender series. I did have a friend that had that problem with his Bold 9000. He called Otterbox and explained it to them and they sent him a new one. He doesn't have the problem anymore. I think it must be where the microphone hole is cut out and not lining up properly or something, but I personally have not had an issue. I have even had my wife call me from it to check it out for myself. I have had these for the 8700, 8300, 8310 and the 9000 all with out issue. the only downside is it is a little bigger than most cases, but a great insurance policy.

I would call them and let them know about your case. Hopefully it was just a bad batch.
