They are good about answering questions here: http://www.facebook.com/#!/otterbox?ref=ts
Or you can go to the otterbox website and sign up to be notified when it is released.
*Edit- btw, I got tired of waiting and ordered the Seidio Rugged and have been very pleased.

do you think XDA members are also Otterbox employees? Sign up on their website and they will email you when its available. That's what I did. By this point I'll probably stick with TPU cases, way cheaper, thinner, and protected my phone perfectly when I dropped it on the pavement.
I'm using the Otterbox 1900 PDA case. Near perfect case for me. Though probably too bulky for most people.
Come on! This has been discussed. already. The answer you are looking for is "We don't know when they are coming out!"
Like someone else said, sign up on their website for email updates. The Facebook page is pretty much useless because you are going to get the same answer that everyone else is receiving.
say thank you to apple for some how getting the case quicker then the evo even though the evo was released first
more iphones than evos means more money from iphone owners than evo owners
true but i hate the iphone you can not do crap with it. only what apple allows you to do. Steve Jobs is trying to be king of the world imo
I sent them a email today telling them they are missing out because many evo owners are going someplace else for protection.
i agree they are missing out on alot of money
however i think they will come out next week or two...
I sincerely hope so, I've already completely killed my phone twice, good thing I know a few people that work at repair centers haha.
"Thank you all for your amazing interest in our Ballistic HC case for the HTC EVO. Right now, we have a very tentative schedule that HC will be ready around the first 2 weeks in November, this schedule is subject to change (earlier or longer.

That's a ridiculously long time if you ask me. I'm really bummed by the lack of love for my Evo. I might just go with otterbox

I spoke with someone from customer service on 8/30 and was told that the case would be out in mid October. I have been using Otterbox cases for the last couple of years and have to say that IMHO the quality has decreased plus they changed they're warranty from lifetime to 1 year. I will be holding out for the Ballistic HC case.
well damn...it looks hot....i already opted for the rugged from seidio http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/bd3-hkr4hev4.htm
there is no way im going work offshore and not have anything on my phone..not the prettiest, but it does its job

Because they sell WAY more iPhones than Evos.
I sent them an email asking why they only offer it for apple.
The fact of the matter is, there is awesome cases like that for the EVO. I like different cases.

I'm sure it's because they're just like me. If I were going to make a phone case I'd make it for an iPhone. 1 case for the most abundant phone on the planet. Not a tough decision.
lol that's sick. your phone will look like a blood thirsty cyclops.
Well look at half of the themes out there for the Evo roms... really ugly. The only case that isn't just plain black that I could foresee coming out for our phones would have Monster Energy or Tapout or MMA printed on it, haha. We have a ****ty demographic
Man I wish they made that penguin one for evo!

iphone has awesome cases. Those are phat.
The biggest advantage to the iPhone, IMHO is third party accessory support. Let's face it: when you only have to tailor your product to one new model every year, and it sells a gazzillion units per month, it's hard not to want to tap into that market.
That's a pretty damn cool looking case.
I sent otterbox an email after asking on there facebook page if they were going to have a case for the SGN and there reply was >
We have not confirmed if we are going to make a case for this device, but I am happy to pass your request on to our development team. Customer Service finds out about new case releases the moment they are posted to the website. It is best to keep an eye on our website or Facebook page, as they will have the most up to date information on our products and new cases.
Thank you,
Wow. What a generic response. That's like going into a cellphone carriers store and asking about a certain handset, (that's clearly at that location) and after asking the associate about it, they tell you they don't know much about it. "Duh?, don't you work here?"

I wont get this phone without the otterbox defender
Sent from my Incredible 2
Not having an Otterbox won't be a dealbreaker for me but I sure hope they make one. I loved the otterbox I put on my Bionic before I decided to return it due to the lackluster pentile screen.
As usual I have asked Otterbox if they intend making a case for the Nexus.
http://twitter.com/OtterBox/status/136479828739244032
Apparently they're still looking into it.
Not having an Otterbox is certainly not a dealbreaker, but it is disappointing if they don't release one. We already missed out on the Nexus S defender that never went into production.
Those that want an Otterbox, I encourage you to tweet or FB them urging for a case. The more interest they get from us the better our chances of a case coming out. If they don't get many people asking, they'll figure the public isn't interested.
As per jive's suggestion, I've tweeted them for a defender. Lets flood their inbox guys.

I don't think you'll get a defender you might get a commuter like they had for the SGS2
But I tried the commuter out and it was as slippery as an eel NOT like for the iphones Also to mention the commuter was made for the unlocked version and it didn't line up the mic hole on the AT&T version
that's why I'm going with the AGF Ballistic If it matches up all the hardware right.
I do like the case-mate Tough case but I don't like that empty space on the bottom
@OtterBox Really interested when you get the #GalaxyNexus case sorted
@thegrizlore It will be available soon!

Well for a update here you go. http://www.otterbox.com/samsung-galaxy-nexus-cases/samsung-galaxy-nexus-cases,default,sc.html
Hey everybody, I am currently a Sprint Customer Who has had the evo 3D since launch. I am in the market for an upgrade, and I am looking at the Note II.
I really like the fact that it is a super powerful phone, and the S-Pen functionality would be of great use to me. Some of the things that I am not sure of have to do with the software...
I noticed with my evo 3D, support was not super quick, and most roms that removed the sense kernel ended up losing 4G and 3D capability, and sometimes even GPS.
I know the GSIII has gained a lot of traction in custom roms, etc, but I don't know if that will be the same for the Note II.
I guess the bottom line here is that I like the Note II, but I don't want TouchWiz, but I still want full functionality especially the 4G and S-Pen. So with that in mind, Do you think this is a good buy?
The difference between this 2 devices is from the earth to the SKY, I been a HTC loyal costumer for over 6 years... this ended when the NOTE 2 came out and so far I LOVE this phone. im pretty sure you will love it too, get a launcher over touchwiz and you will be set.
At first its kind of wow this is too big but now (a week after) its like man look at all those tiny small phones ...
We already have root and some ROMS, so its only a matter of time before we get a big crowd of developers working with us...
go do that swap NOW!!!!
:good:
I just picked up my note 2 from evo3d last night. Once I got home I felt a HUGE disappoint from leaving my 3d woth cm10 coming to touchwiz and how BIG everything is. Day two, im a little more at ease after some sleep.
My biggest issue is just how huge everything is. I know once I root it and change dpi down it may look more normal for me. Im used to using a small font with and small font settings.
However my biggest hurdle is how unstable this thing feels in one hand. I constsntly feel like I may drop it because the only way to truley be able to use one hand and access everything is to rest the phone on your four fingers while using your thumb to navigate. Versus having end of your other fingers having a sturdy hold on left side of phone like normal.
Using the one-handed option does help for typing and such, but its mainly not being able to reach notification bar while having the firm grip versus resting on four fingers.
Having a inner struggle weather I want to keep this or go exchange for the gs3 later today or tomorrow. I use my phone with one hand a lot so thats a huge issue for me.
Has anyone else gone thru this while switching too the note2? If so how long does it take for that too go away.
Also im curious as to what kind of stylus support aosp roms will have. I know it will work for touching the screen but I mean as far as default samsung note apps and such? I know I will be going back to cm10 on this or the gs3. But if we will lose a lot of stylus support then I dont reslly see a need for the note over the gs3 with only .7 inches of extra screen real estate.
Any input would be great! Thanks

Not sure if you knew, you can make the font smaller. You can go to Settings >> Display >> Font Size. You can select tiny but it won't be as small as the font in 3d. but still it makes the font look better.
I used to own the e3d as well but for me, i'm really glad i went with note 2.
I've had every Evo and happy with going to the Note 2 even from the Evo 4G LTE. I would rather stick Note 2 over S3. I love AMOLED screens and very happy they did the RGB setup instead of pentile and a major reason I went Note 2 over the obvious things.
How about one handing the device? Does it feel comfortable or do you feel you could drop it at any second. Mainly with having to pull noti down?

Thanks everybody for your input on this matter. I do have a question about the AMOLED screens though. From fiddling with the phones a bit in the store(mainly the GSIII and the EVO4) I have noticed that the AMOLED is much dimmer. I knew the sprint rep wouldn't let me take them outside to see what they look like in the sunlight, but I asked him anyways, just for the reaction. Obviously, it was still a no...
How is direct sunlight use? Especially for those coming from the 3VO to the note II.

Sorry bro but if the sales rep wouldn't walk you outside so you could see a real world difference then go to a different store with better cs ... my sgs3 does great in sunlight as long as you don't stand with the sun on your screen ...side note...I just switched to sgs3 from the note 1..great transition imo

Yeah, i was in the little strip store by my work, instead of the full sized nice one that I usually go to. Good to hear about the screen, and I'm surprised anybody would be going from a sgs3 to the original note, glad it works out though!
SO im pretty sure im going to get totally flammed for saying this but here goes and I think you need to hear it.
I too upgraded from an evo 3D. I wont lie the note II is an amazing device and is very fast.
Things I like most about it
-Screen size is very impressive for video especially
-Battery life is incredible you can beat on it all day and still have juice in the evening
-Camera is pretty impressive speed very fast fastest ive ever seen on a phone.
-speaker is pretty good audio nice and loud nice if you dont have headphones with you
Unfortunately for me this is where it stops, and I will repeat these are my own opinions.
Things I do not like
-The hardware home button you have to push it in to make it go home kinda pain in the ass since the back and menu are capacitive buttons sure would be nice if they kept them all the same or even better just made it a capacitive button like most of the other manufactures do Its not an iphone I dont want an iphone...
-Screen very poor performance outside, full brightness and I am still thinking to myself this screen is hard to read out in the sun light or even in the car on a nice sunny day, I suppose if I lived in oregon or Washington state along the coast I would not care but here in sunny california its a problem. The Evo 3D is much easier to read outside in direct sunlight
- You cannot operate the camera while on a phone call. Why ? I have no idea but cant do it. Evo can no problem
- You cannot send a txt msg while on the phone either again why? no idea but my evo 3d sure can and its nice sometimes especially on speaker phone.
-I personally think sense is a pretty nice UI better than touchwiz but thats just me so im glad to be back.
-Memory mapping is a problem on this device your SD card will show up as external SD card not SD card so causes problems with a lot of programs unless you root and use directory bind. I did this seemed to work alright but more of a work around to a problem that should have been addressed at time of manufacture in my opinion.
- Stock browser and I like the stock android browsers they are pretty good but for some reason wont txt wrap when you double click to zoom in so you can read paragraphs of text so I am scrolling back and forth to read and I have the largest screen ive ever had on a phone and still find myself scrolling like crazy, hum.
- Swype does not auto space in the browser when posting things such as this very post annoying.
So those were my biggest complaints with the phone aside from this its a pretty nice device. However I did find myself wanting a lot of the features my year and half handset had. Honestly The new features the note II brought to the table for me did not outweigh the simpler things that I routinely use. So I am returning mine this evening and have already re activated my evo 3D and will sit it out till the next HTC device comes down the pipe and see what they bring out.
I will say the 3D does feel small in my hand now but its like an old pair of jeans just feels right, and usually I am very rapid to adopt the next phone I really wanted to like this phone and use it for the next year but I asked myself if I keep having questions if I should return it or not then something is wrong.
Oh a few other things that annoy me about it was the lack of multitasking which I was really looking forward to. However it cannot do that yet=lame...
Im sure much of what I complained about will be addressed through software fixs and what have you at least I like to think so. And I know you can download a bunch of apps to do some of this stuff.
So my best advice go buy one and try it out for a couple of weeks like I did. Its only 35 bucks to turn it back in and go back to your Evo 3D. I will say though the EVO 3D with a custom rom on it is not a bad device and is not really that slow. I think if you are coming from an Evo 4g the drastic difference is bigger or if you are coming from an even older device then it will be mind blowing. But from the evo 3d the Samsung is a nice phone a bit faster for sure but 300 dollars faster and worth 11 dollar a month insurance and 200 dollar deductible for me not so much.
Again not a hater I think the note II is a great device for very specific ppl and a very capable handset. But thought it would be nice to hear somebody else's view that is not all roses

Anyone who says the screen isnt brighter has been smoking too much hash. I could hardly see either of my evo's on a sunny day, this thing is leaps and bounds brighter and clearer outside then an evo. I dont even have to take off my polarized Ray Bans to see the screen. I have perfect vision so it may be different for contact or eyeglass wearer.

Getting Anxious
I am currently rocking the EVO 4G and I lovied this phone when I got it but started to notice that it seemed like the last great phone that HTC made. I dont get my upgrade until Dec. 1st and I cant wait unitl I can finally get rid of this thing I call a smart phone and get a truely amazing device that is the Note II. I was a little upset when the original Note was on AT&T only but now that the successor is out for Sprint, I am as giddy as a school girl. Reading most of these comments makes me that much more anxious to get my hands on one so that I can finally see the awesomeness and true power of Samsung. Thanks for all the great input from all of your posts.
I'd make your decision based on your preferred screen size. There are a lot of great devices out at the moment.
I can recommend this device if you like the size.

Since you use it one handed a lot, you should look into a flygrip. There is a video review on YouTube.
Hey, I would just like to thank everybody who has given their input in my thread here. I'd like to inform everybody that I am now a proud owner of a titanium Sprint Note II!. The capability of the phone impresses me, and my only fault is that it is taking me a bit of time to find the best way to hold it.
Thanks everybody!
