Moto Droid X Otterbox

Hey all,
I know the case isnt out yet, but how long does it usually take them to release it after the phone has been released?

I could have sworn i saw somewhere that we should expect to see it by the end of august.

When you consider there is still not an otterbox for the Incredible or Desire that have been out much longer do not expect one anytime soon.

Usually about a year after the phones debut

Usually a year but seidio already has a case out and extended battery. I personally like seidio over otter box.
And yes I know its not 360 protection like otter.

I dunno. The iPhone 4's case is already out, and that phone is not even close to a year old. I guess it just depends on the popularity of that particular device. Hopefully it's released soon because I work in the oil industry, and my phone is likely to see accidental abuse (if it ever ships)!

They also have cases for the Incredible, which has not been out very long.

This is the one place when talking about how many handsets of a single phone can come into play and mean something. Since the iPhone sells so many handsets they have a built in market for the product where for android our market is spread across many handsets. So if you were making a case it only makes sense to make it first and right away for the one that sells so many instead of 20 differnet ones.

One of their reps told me their "average" time to market was 2 months after release.

They are trying to get better about dates but 2 months is garbage. They still do not have a case for the Incredible, Desire or EVO all have been out over 2 months and the first two have been out 4 months.

Finally just bought regular case and a zag screen protector. Not waiting around anymore.

I don't understand how people can take such a slim and sexy phone... and then bulk it up with one of these gigantic cases...

Consider how many iPhones per day are sold versus how many Droid X devices. It's really in Otterbox's best interest to cater to the iPhone first and foremost.

The bigger, the better.

The case I have on my X atm is actually pretty slim and has saved it from being mangled twice already. Even with the case it is still just as slim as my Samsung Eternity is (my AT&T phone).

i was just on the otterbox website and they have cases available for the droid x! idk if anyone has notice that yet lol

[Q] Ballistic HC Case

Has anyone seen the new Ballistic cases for the eyephone? I saw one in person today and I have never been jealous of an iphone before, but if we can't convince them to make this case for the Galaxy, then iphone users will finally have one thing I want.
I have sent a request to Ballistic and hope that others will also. (www)(dot)goballisticcase(dot)com

It's a bit much for me. Wouldn't want my sexy vibrant to get slapped with the mother of all ugly sticks. But to each his own.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

WTH? That case looks way overkill. If you need something bulletproof like that, then get a rugid phone thats meant to be used in tough situations.
I can just see the avg joe using that case. Its like a soccer mom driving a Hummer....

I kinda like this case. I could see myself using it or something similar when I go mtn bike riding and then using something slim for everyday use.
I'm hoping for an Otterbox case myself. Just in case though, I emailed these guys and requested that they consider making a version for the Vibrant.

I got a quick response from these guys.
Thank you for your inquiry of the availability of the Samsung Galaxy S-Vibrant case. I am sorry but at this time we are not going to produce a case for the Vibrant. We are considering a case for some of the other Galaxy S just not the Vibrant.
Once again I do apologize and if you have any further questions or concerns please feel free to contact us.

I got the same response from Kristen Edge at Ballistic, but I also informed her in a follow-up that the Vibrant is almost identical in all aspects to the original Galaxy S, which has a world-wide market.

I also emailed them with my interest for a T959 case and they responded shortly after with:
"Unfortunately we do not have any plans at this time to make a case for the Samsung Vibrant T-959 phone. However the request was forwarded to our Product Manager."

ballistic case release date

"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. We want our fans to know we hear you and want to give you all the information we have as soon as we get it! Thanks for being patient - we promise, it will be well worth the wait!"
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

{RANT}Seidio - Vibrant is the read-headed step child - what gives?

So, Seidio shows products for all US Galaxy S variants, EXCEPT for the Vibrant. What the heck gives?
It just stupid that the Vibrant was the first to hit the market but yet a major manufacturer like Seidio doesn't have squat for them, but does for other carrier's variants.
I emailed them and got a generic canned response about how they have no ETA for any products for the Vibrant.
Guess they won't be getting any business from me.

... ... ... .

Yeah, i am a big fan of Seidio products as well.... it sucks. Meanwhile i got some holster from amazon. Will see if its any good, because i really hate my bodyglove case. Makes small phone look like motorolla from 90s

I definitely had to "read" this title a few times.

Haha. Nice. I'm pissed about the lack of Seidio. I've always been big fans of their cases. I emailed them too and got the same crap. Chatted live too and they said they won't be releasing anything for the Vibrant. I'm assuming from other discussions here that the fascinate case they are planning to make wouldn't work even with putting some cut outs on the back for the camera location huh?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

Seidio seems so overpriced, I don't get the love for them. I work next door to them and they wouldn't even let me do pickup.

I agree I think their stuff is overpriced. I had an innocase on my blackberry 9700 and that thing was cheaply made for what they charge. No thanks.

well, otterbox is working on a case for the vibrant if that makes you feel any better (or worse)

That looks good. Do you know if they usually offer car docks and desk docks with their cases? That's really what I'm after and what Seidio did well. I have the body give case now and it's great but its compatibility with docks is nonexistent.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

Seidio has their Fascinate cases posted. Anyone have access to one to try to see how it fits with the Vibrant? I know the cut outs are different but those could be easily modded. They also have the snap holster that I'm assuming would probably work based on the other posts about holsters.

I also want a seido case...
I have emailed Seido and chatted with them through their website, requesting they make us a holster.
If enough of us do the same, then maybe they will see the demand and actually do something about it...
So.. go forth, and PESTER SEIDO until they make us a case/holster !!!
Do it! Go NOW... DO IT!

If you look at the list of T-Mobile and Samsung devices on Seidio's site they list the Vibrant now:
http://www.seidioonline.com/category-s/3.htm
Looks like they might have listened. Doesn't have anything in it yet but it wasn't even listed as a phone a few weeks ago. Here's hoping...

Funny... that's the same e-mail i received from them 4 months ago.
I'm pretty sure that they won't be carrying anything related to Samsung Vibrant.

That is the greatest thing I've heard all day. I will be first in line once it launches.

Place holders are on the website and awaiting pics. Can't pre-order yet as they are not showing in stock. I was prepared to order sight unseen. That is the confidence I have in the product. I can't wait for a quality holster.

Are the extended batteries from them usually decent? It doesn't seem like much of a boost from the normal 1500 mAh battery, and at $50 it seems ridiculously steep. But i can't help but be a little curious.

Nice! I've been a huge fan of their products on all my past phones.

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!
