I sent 'em an email about 4 days ago... this was their response:
"We do not have any information if a case will be made at this time for that device, but it is something that has been requested. I have submitted a product suggestion on your behalf, and recommend keeping an eye on our website, as it will have the most up to date information on any new releases that we may have."

Wow thanks maybe I should call and email as well. Hopefully they will get the hint and make it happen.

Yeah def. to anyone who reads this thread head over to otterbox.com and send em an email saying you'd like a case made. They make high quality stuff.

Never had an Otterbox case but i know they are thick. And pricey.

Just replied. And as pricy as they are look up on youtube. Otterbox car and iphone. A friggin car runs over an iFail and the phone stays in tact. Its super restive from what i heard and also i hear the build quality is AMAZING! As thick as it is its worth it. Plus OG smartphones are thick arent they? Not only will it pretect it itll make your anerexic vibrant into a smartphone

Yee!
This is what they replied: Thank you for contacting Otter Products, LLC Customer Support.
Your request for assistance has been received. Case #157586 - "Samsung Galaxy S" has been created for you. A member of our customer care team will respond to your case as soon as possible.

Just sent them the following email,
Hi, I am emailing you in regards to the International and US carrier specific versions of the Samsung Galaxy S series phones. I'm just asserting my interest in purchasing a Defender series case if you were to launch a line for the Galaxy S.
In my opinion, I believe the Galaxy S series phones to be a good investment for a high end phone case manufacturer such as yourself. My opinion is due largely to the sheer number of phones that have been sold already; since launch totaling over 1 million units. Also, I've found a large percentage of the international variant of the Galaxy S were bought outright with out carrier subsidy, and with prices ranging from $599-800 on average I would imagine that most of those people would want to amply protect their investment with a ruggedized case such as yours. Another advantage to the series is that the International and US Carrier specific versions of the phone are very similar in form factor, thus minimal retooling and design changes would be necessary to make the case work with two of the US carriers, and with the International version to a certain degree. In actuality, the US specific versions such as T-Mobile Vibrant and Verizon Fascinate are practically identical externally and the capacitive touch buttons on the face of the phone will, I trust, lend themselves well to the simple and robust protection that the Defender series can provide. Honestly, after seeing the success you've had with the design of the hardware "Home" button on the face of the iPhone cases, I could see something very similar as easy to implement for the international version of the Galaxy S.
Although I believe that the other two US carrier specific versions of the phone would be less profitable to design a Defender series case due to their irregular shape and slider design respectively, I think they would still lend themselves well to the commuter, impact, or tandem line of cases.
Sorry if I seem to ramble on, but I'm very excited to see an offering from Otterbox for the Galaxy S line, and I see it as a great opportunity for you the manufacturer and I the consumer to be mutually benefited by a superbly designed and executed case offering from your company.
Thank you for your consideration and for giving me the outlet to express my desire to protect my beloved Samsung Vibrant with your case offerings. Thanks again.

Come on guys, lay it on thick.
This is can be a great case to protect our $199-$599 investments,
and we're the ones that have to convince Otterbox that this case needs to be made!
So bump it up to the top!

I got the same response.

Just sent them a message too. I waited forever to see a US release for the HD2 but it never happened. I hope something shows up for the Vibrant.

I mailed them too.
Got the same cookie cutter responce everyone else has.
I have a feeling they will cave in and make one....but it might take some time for it to show up

I did the same and got the same CANNED reply.

Send 'em more messages people!

Just sent a message. I will also make a post on the other forums I frequent, asking everyone to send Otterbox a message.

I hope they'll heed our requests for a case. I really like the quality of the iPhone cases they make.

Do you have any plans on making a commuter case for the samsung vibrant? Thanks.

Got an email back from them today:
We are currently working on a case for this device. I recommend keeping an eye on our website or Facebook page where we will be sure to post more information as soon as it is available. Generally it takes approximately 2-4 months for a case to developed once a device is released to the public. Customer Service finds out about new case releases the moment they are posted to the website

I was just checking their website yesterday to see if they've come out yet. They are at the end of their "development" time. Didn't take long for the bastards to come out with a Captivate case.

[BETA] Aluminum Case design for HTC ONE - Looking for couple/few Beta Testers

EDITED for UPDATE:
BETA CLOSED - Thanks to everyone for your interest and comments!
The Badasscase for the HTC ONE has been Released - Picture below!
End of EDIT
Hello XDA Members!
I am looking for a couple people to beta test a PROTOTYPE version of my cases for the HTC ONE.
Interested in people who can provide detailed feedback, enjoy experimenting, and hopefully have some knowledge of building/fabrication/hard core tinkering, etc. - Also, "vision" is a major plus... what I mean is if you are the type of person who sees and old, rusty, beat up classic car... and you immediately visualize the "Showcar" in your mind.
This is limited to the USA for shipping costs (which I will cover) and you absolutely MUST own the HTC ONE.
Social media nuts, bloggers, reviewers, would also be a plus.
I will be posting some pictures of the prototypes on Monday or Tuesday, and am also looking for feedback here on the different designs I have going so far.
If interested, shoot me a PM and please let me know a little bit about yourself! I will probably not reply back until Sunday/Monday, but I will reply to everyone who inquires.
Thanks

YYYYEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHHHH BOI!!!!:laugh::good:

If one was to pay the extra needed to ship to the UK, would you consider shipping it someone in the UK?

definitely interested in this, let me in. Thanks

Might be interested too. Love to see what you have in mind

I'm buying my HTC One tomorrow and I'd be totally down to testing this out.

I'm interested.

I'd wanna test it out, but I'm in Aus. What if I was willing to pay postage ?
Edit: And of course, I do have a HTC One too.

I would like to beta test! I currently have my HTC One

In Florida, ordered my Stealth Black today, definitely interested.
Update : Picked up my Glacier Silver today.

HTC One Beta Tester Application
I would like to participate!

I'm in Florida and I have my HTC One in hand and would love to help you out!!

I have my silver One in hand. I'm in PA. I've also had several aluminum cases for my various other phones, so I might be able to offer you some insight in that regard.

Definitely interested, in California, with a silver One.
Also, if it helps I have a 1983 supra restored + modded (showcar, haha)

Man this is right up my alley as a conceptual design engineer.....shame I'm in the UK.....let me know if you want any drawings thrown together......
Sent from my Tricked out 'One'

Thanks for the overwhelming response!
Hello all,
Thanks for the huge response! I have a ton of PM's to go through and will be doing so throughout the day. I will make some decisions within the next 24-48 hours.
As far as shipping outside the US, there are a few reasons for this. Mainly the time delay involved getting it shipped/received.
From the responses, it seems some of you have not seen any of the cases I have done. I was thinking most would see my signature, but alas that doesn't show up when viewing from a phone (as far as I know). So below is a link to my facebook page (also in my sig) to give you an idea of what the case is going to be like.
In late March I prototyped the HTC ONE from pictures for this first run and have a company that laser cuts these for me. And I have 5 variations of "backs" and 2 "fronts" that I will have tomorrow. It takes a couple weeks to get parts from my vendor, so I have to be quick with my designs!
Since having my ONE, I have made some adjustments to the design, and will be double checking everything tomorrow with the first set of prototype parts. I will be sending off "version 2" later this week for a small production run in order to have product ready and available as quickly as possible for an upcoming trade show.
What I am looking for in testers, is mainly someone who can and will do some of the following.
Testing signals - Network/Wifi/Bluetooth/GPS/NFC etc.
An example, GPS - Let your significant other drive, while you have your ONE in the case and another similar android phone (no case) set to the same destination. During this trip, take notes of both phones if/when they lose GPS lock, how long it takes to reestablish GPS lock. Any differences between the two devices should be noted.
Also, as a control, run the same route, with both phones without a case taking the same notes to compare. With case/without case.
My main concern it signals. I do not want the case to degrade the ability of the phone in any way!
In my current production case for the HTC EVO 4G LTE (Full Back), the only issue is NFC, which is non-functional because of the aluminum back. For this reason I created an "open back" version to have a fully functional device. I prefer to have just one version for the ONE.
I will of course be running a multitude of tests myself, but am looking to compare my experience with a few other users to ensure a perfect product!
Also, I know some of you will be able to provide ideas/feedback that I might not think of. I do not plan to change much in my physical designs, but might do so according the feedback I receive.
Again, thanks for all of the PM's and I will be getting back to everyone within the next day... in the meantime, check the facebook page to see a few of the EVO LTE cases!

*SPECK cases

Whenever I go into an AT&T store or any other cellphone providers retail store. Their main cases are by the brand speck, they have always been well made and aways durable in my situation. Wondered if they would make one for the nexus 5 as I feel it would be one of the top cases out there if they did. Sadly... This is the response I got
" Thank you for contacting Speck, we are glad you did! *We are always creating new styles and colors of cases. *Unfortunately, I have no information to provide you about when, or if, we will offer a case for the Nexus 5
In the meantime, I encourage you to sign up for our newsletter (toward the bottom of our homepage) if you have not already done so. *This way, you will be informed of our latest and greatest!
Sincerely,

Just posting this to inform anyone who was wondering. Hopefully they decide to make some. Here is the link to their online store.

Member asked me to review products, now banned

If someone could please move this to the right forum if necessary.
I received some pms in response to some product reviews of mine. They asked if I'd be willing to do a review on their product. Well they sent a package but one of them wasn't even mentioned previously.
A car dock, and a stylus were to be sent but I received a stylus and a screen protector for the m8.
Now I can't reach this user. The mobile profile says banned, yet the desktop site says unable to receive private messages.
Anyway just want advice on what to do. Otherwise I'll just review the one product as promised.
I've honestly never been approached to review any products for free so it's cool no matter what. But I was a bit apprehensive at first.
Thanks in advance for the advice.

Sounds like somebody got banned for trying to use the forum to market their products.

That's crazy. It was done in a professional and non annoying manner.
Well whatever. I'm still going to do the review like I promised.

The Member in question, could of been spamming his product via PM or the Threads, hence his removal. But either way Thread Closed and Thank You.

Moment battery case request (with link)

Hello,
If any of you are interested in a useful battery case for the PIxel 2, please help by requesting one through Moment's Future Product Survey
Here is the link to Moment's website and Youtube, where you can see their products.
Shopmoment.com
Moment Youtube
I'm trying to get them to make something similar to this for our Pixel 2:
Moment's Iphone battery case
Blow is the email conversation:
Hey Jeremiah,
Thanks for reaching out.
We've thought about it but don't have any plans to make a battery case for the Pixel 2 right now. We have a pretty small team and only one product engineer, so you can imagine it's difficult keeping up with the multiple new devices that are released each year. We're always looking to support new designs in the future.
If you have a phone model that you love and would like to see produced in the near future, we'd appreciate your filling out this quick survey to help out our project manager: Future Product Survey
For more information about what devices we support you can look here.
Hope this helps and definitely let us know if you have any other questions!
Thanks,
Julia
