I use these cases when I'm at home to have some grip and make using the phone more comfortable. I don't use these on the go due to the amount of dust and stuff that it collects.
i had a otterbox defender and hated it. the silcone was too loose and you really had to grind your finger down into the home button to mash it. so i took the clip off the otter box belt holster and put it on my body glove case. more better.
I agree. I just purchased mine this week and was skeptical about the size and feel. I can honestly say that I was pleasantly surprised by both. I like the way it rests in my hands and the protection factor is second to none. Holster is a bit bulky but a good alternative in lieu of carrying just the Otter in your pocket (which would be a big PIA).

Don't quite understand what you are trying to say. My home button works just as well with the Defender as it does with a naked phone. No mashing required. Possibly you had an earlier generation for the 3GS, which had some issues according to some folks?
