NOT SUCH A HOT DEAL. When you consider all the complaints on the kickstand breaking and the flimsy soft plastic that often tears at the port covers. BUYER BEWARE!!!

When do you think 3rd parties like Amazon, Best Buy and Sprint will carry the Defender for EVO?

OtterBox Amazon and other online retailers should have them within a week or so. Best Buy will be carrying online initially at BestBuy.com.

YMMV - Available on Otterbox website, Amazon has not changed their page, but the price has changed to $33.94 This item is full price on Otterbox at $49.95 with a $5 coupon code for those of you that had signed up for notification on availability.
YMMV - Pre-Order the Otterbox Defender for $26.99 shipped.
It has been "Coming Soon" for months now, so Pre-Order at your own risk.
Free shipping with FSSS or Prime.
This price is current as of 10:30 PM EST 11/7/2010. Amazon prices change rapidly.
http://www.amazon.com/Otterbox-Defender-Shield-HTC-Black/dp/B0043GWDZ2/ref=cm_cr_pr_sims_t
NOTE: IT LISTS SHIPPING TIME AS 1-2 MONTHS!!! But it may take longer or shorter. Rumors say it will ship this month.
NOTE: Under Product Description it lists the name as Impact: "Product Description
The OtterBox Impact Series is a durable silicone skin...]"
...however, on the invoice it only lists DEFENDER and makes no mention on Impact Series. Due to this discrepancy, I am adding YMMV to this deal. However, this does not really concern me as the title says Defender and the Impact has no current wait, therefore, there is more than enough reason to believe it is the Defender. I have never had issues with Amazon with similar description issues in the past.
From the Otterbox Facebook page, Otterbox reminds us that all coupon codes are case sensitive.
Jay E Hey guys, I just got my Evo defender for 40$ with free shipping! Use these 2 codes tb1010y (10% off/free shipping) & MEMUEVO5 (5$ off) (coupon is case sensitive) . They both stack. Enjoy 15$ off!
SilverStone641 said:
That is not entirely true. you get 10% off which EQUALS free shipping. NOT 10% PLUS free shipping. the total savings is $10. still a great deal though

If you order through Otterbox, you may have to call in, their servers have been crashing.
If you need a case soon or now you may be better off going with the Trident Cyclops or Seidio Rugged. However, I do not suggest the Seidio Rugged as I have 2 and they're both falling apart. The upgraded/seperate screen protector is necessary on the Cyclops. The Ballistic cases may be released this month as well.
Defender on sale at Amazon confirmed as of 11/7/10 11 pm
Confirming OP. Defender on sale through Amazon direct. Must be coming out soon!
http://www.amazon.com/Otterbox-Defender-Shield-HTC-Black/dp/B0043GWDZ2/ref=cm_cr_pr_sims_t
Edit: then again..maybe not..says ships in 1 to 2 months. Does anyone know if Amazon charges when you order or when your item ships? I know for unreleased video games, your card is charged when the item ships but I don't know about non game items.
I see $49.95
nevermind. Previous link was to a different seller at $49.95. Amazon is selling for $29.95
Note that it says Usually Ships in 1 or 2 MONTHS

Thanks for posting the link! I can't believe I forgot that.
For everyone who doesn't frequent Amazon...on the right side there is an area that says "More Buying Choices", this box may have Amazon.com as a seller or it may be the default seller, I'm not sure how they program their code to decide which you see as default.
1-2 months is possible. Rumors say this month, but rumors have been saying that for months!!!
I'm in for 2 because my Seidio Rugged's are falling apart, but they'll hold up until the Otterbox Defender is released.......................................................................unless the Trident Kraken beats them to the market

That's weird. From my point of view, the link I gave does go to the 26.99 version. I'll just chalk it up to some crazy property about Amazon's site. As long as you found it. Actually..I believe Amazon moved it to a different page just that quick.
Here's a screenie of what I initially saw before Amazon changed it:
Just ordered mine, $26.99. Thanks for the heads up OP
Just ordered one also! Crossing my fingers that it comes out in a reasonable time. On facebook otterbox did say that it is in the manufacturing process a few days ago.
Ordered mine as well OP. $26.99 with free super saver shipping. awesome! great find.
From a discussion page on Facebook:
Random Person: NOV 17 DEFENDER CASE FOR EVO SHIPS!!!!!!!!
OtterBox: Fingers crossed, cause it isn't too much longer now. The date didn't come from us, but we are working hard to get them out asap!
Awesome!!
I already have a Commuter case, good for interim was waiting on this one!!
Just scored it for 28.61 with tax, shipped!
Even if it takes a few weeks more than Otterbox I can deal with wait for the price.
Thanks OP!

the only thing i didnt like about the rugged was the opening for the usb port. i did cut it and it works well.. of course it doesnt look like it came that way since i did cut it and its not smooth but it works well..
i have the rugged away but im using the active now... out of all thats out there now with a holster, i think sedio is the best ( IMO)
like i said, i would like to see the otter box before i get it. i just wish it had a clip on the top like the sedio holster has. just feels more secure

I accidentally ripped off that usb port, my wife also accidentally ripped the headset jack area off. That plastic on the Seidio Rugged is just way too thin.
I snapped the top of my holster off, the design didn't work for me...but take that with a grain of salt, cause if it's breakable, I'll break it.

I still haven t been charged yet and I think it's been 48 hours, so I'm guessing they don't charge until it ships. I went ahead and got the 30 day Prime trial so I'm getting mine overnighted for $30 shipped, not too bad!
Ordered off Amazon. For the price you can't beat it. Hopefully it comes sooner than later.
$33.94 now. Listed as in stock on Otterbox.com.

Just checked samsung online store, they removed "out of stock" text and "buy from samsung" enabled now.

I was just going to post the same thing.
$20 for the Samsung one or this thing on Ebay looks the exact same for $8?

I would venture to say that the OEM ones are generally a little bit better quality (sometimes a whole lot better) than the 3rd party eBay ones. However, it really depends how picky on details you are with a case.
If you want something that is "good enough" than the eBay case is probably fine, but if you are a stickler for flush casing, perfect lines, etc. - then OEM is probably a better way.
Samsung's is Carbon Fiber, Ebay is just fiber.
I went with Samsung's.
BTW, use code SUMMER2010 for 10% off.
debating whether to get a case at all ... i kind of like the phone being thin and the design of it. you guys think it's just wiser to invest in a case and not worry about marring the OEM finish ?
$23ish (Tax/Shipping) for a case or blow $5/mo plus a $125 deductible on Insurance??? Kindof no brainer to me. Dropping your phone is 95% of the ways you'll damage it and, this covers it.
I also wouldn't worry about the OEM case harming the OEM phone, it's probably got some rubberized texture on the inside.
Would love to hear some reviews on this case.

It says free flat USPS when you do not enter your state/city/zip. Once you enter those it will show your shipping.

I don't know, I ordered an iPod case from ebay five years ago and I'm still using it. It was only seven dollars but has lasted a long time. It fits good as well. I think some of the cases on ebay may be bad but some can be very good. IMO that one on ebay looks like a good case. I even thought about buying it.
I'd like to see some better pictures of the Samsung case.

anyone hane idea about which one is better body glove from att or the one from samsung site?? Also there are not many images available of hard case from samsung..any idea how it is??

I bought one of these for my MyTouch3G last year, and thought it was the BEST case I've ever had for a phone. I'm desperately wanting one for my MT4G, but haven't found one anywhere online yet. Anyone know where we can get these? I bought mine on eBay for $4.99 and free shipping from Hong Kong, and I got it in less than 2 weeks.
Here's a link to a current eBay auction for the MT3G version so you can see what I'm talking about...
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...0&ssPageName=ADME:X:AAQ:US:1123#ht_5478wt_876
I agree, those are the best cases I've used. Had one for my original MyTouch and loved it. Hopefully they will get in gear and make them for the 4G now.
That's like the TPU cases others have mentioned, and been on the lookout for on eBay.
I like how they're flexible, but not plain silicon, and maintain the profile of the phone as much as possible.
I gotta pick up something pretty soon. I'd consider just a Phantom Skinz, but with a 3 year old who loves Angry Birds running around the house I need something that offers some drop protection.

How well does that case absorb a shock if the phone is dropped? I really like how its molded really well to the body-lines of the phone and doesnt look thick. Let us know asap when you do find out if they sell them yet! Thanks!

That's awesome news about him getting these cases in the next 1-2 weeks. I'm on my second T-Mo case, and I really haven't been too thrilled with them. Way too much money IMO for cases like these, and I'm considering returning/exchanging my newest one (soft rubber sleeve with white plastic backing) because the rubber attracts WAY TOO much dust.
These cases are STILL not available anywhere yet. Total BS!

There's Epik cases on eBay for the HTC HD7, didn't that come out the same day or about the same timeframe as our MT4G? If so, why hasn't there been an Epik case made yet for our phone?
i have no clue, but on a side note tmble has these type of cases at their stores. im tempted to get 2 of them. they have a sale going on 2accessories will land u 20% off and 3 will get u 30% off, but their 20 a peice....
T-Mobile does not carry the Epik branded cases at their stores. They don't have any cases that even come close to the Epik brand.

Are these the bendable gel cases they had for the MT3G? It doesn't really specify that anywhere on his auctions, and the pictures make it look more like a hard plastic or hard gel/plastic case.

I am most interested in the belt holster though, which is pretty much my only reason to be interested in this case. I don't like how the Seido (or whatever...) belt holster case has a giant clip on the top of the phone.

well now that kind of sucks. I guess we can forget about much in the way of protection from spills/liquids. Not alot to set this apart from the commuter now other than belt clip which i wouldn't be using anyway (but i guess given it can be had for the same price as the commuter on amazon one interested may as well get the defender). Pretty disappointing as i was looking forward to a case with pretty comprehensive protection.
Came across a deal on cases for the Evo while looking for a Dell Streak case. Thought I would come over and post it, my buddy said its a good case. Didnt do too much research but I think its like a 50 dollar case, anyways $7.95 shipped.

that scares me a bit
I'll be the guinea pig! I just ordered 2 of them for that price. I figure if they try to screw me I will file a paypal dispute. They also have the platinum innocase with holster for the epic for like 6 bux. If the defender arrives and it's legit I'm probably gonna buy a bunch and distribute them to friends.

Anyone have a video review or something of this case? I cant find some decent pics of the case to see how bulky it is. The best buy site has a front view of the case on the phone and it looks really bulky.

There are a ton of reviews on YouTube. Here is one:

I got this case when they first came out and was not satisfied with it at all. The outer skeleton broke for no apparent reason and I ended up having to cut all the port covers off because the silicone was tearing. You can't really go wrong for 8 bucks though. The inner layer is the regular innocase so you can use that on it's own and Seidio's screen protector is definitely the best I have ever used.
The case is quite bulky, but all rugged cases are. I now have a Ballistic case and it adds even more bulk than the Seidio.

unbelievable deal.... i bit on one.
this is clearly a pricing error, but i ordered 10 anyways. expecting a refund any minute now...
edit: maybe not, its on their twitter feed too, and they have other seidio products at that pricing. amazing.
On the bandwagon I go....
If you miss out, DONT WORRY, I'll have them on eBay next week for 3x the price
Just got my tracking # today.

i bought 2, why not? Having a cheap case is always nice
i know that slim/sleek/svelte is all the rage these days, but if you're like me, you're paranoid about drops. i've used this case on my n4 since day one and couldn't be happier with it. i'm definitely picking up an n5 version of it when i get around to ordering my n5. (which should be tomorrow, woo!)
just wanted to throw this case out there as option for those who want more serious protection than the slim and hybrid stuff currently out there. if this case is anything like it's n4 counterpart, it's not going to add a ton of bulk to the phone. i think the protection/bulk trade-off is right in a sweet spot with this case.
here's a link:

i'll be sure to return to this thread with pics when i have the phone and case in hand.
This seems similar to the dual layer Incipio cases for some phones. If it is then I agree this is a great balance for cases offering heavy duty protection.

I ordered the white one on Nov 1st and was expected to ship on the 12th, never got a shipping confirmation so I'm assuming mine was delayed too. Disappointing but at least I got it with the free shipping offer!

They offered free shipping?
I just received this email from the vendor on Amazon about the Acase Superleggera I ordered about a week ago:

That's annoying. I was looking forward to seeing if the Nexus 5 case lived up to the 4's well deserved hype. I've ordered two cases already for a combined $13, but I was looking at also getting this case for the best protection.
we just ordered one the other day and got a shipping confirmation for the purple one saying it was on the way...

Did you order it through the Digital Media Source or the CTC store, they both offered the same products, but getting it through CTC store was half the price.

Sorry i was mistaken, I think it was actually $0.99 with $4.50 shipping when I ordered the white one. Still no shipping confirmation... It was suppose to be delivered by the 19th. I'll give them a day or two more before I ask about it. Not really in a hurry as I have the Spigen Ultra Hybrid as well as the Am Case bumper delivering today.

CTC Store... I'm a cheap ass lol.
Did the CTC store shutdown or something? None of the nexus 5 acases are available to purchase from them, and the CTC store (on amazon) doesn't seem to be selling anything at all.

yeah I'm beginning to think something is up with the CTC store myself. The low prices seem to good to be true. Mine say it has shipped and was supposed to be delivered already but I have yet to see it.

I had an order in at that price but I cancelled it, now I regret it, I can't find the cheaper listing now...
I'll go and contact them tonight and see what is with them dissaperaing on amazon.
I also noticed CTC store had pretty much disappeared.
I cancelled my order with them around 4pm est and bought it from another vendor.
At 5:30pm est they sent me a message telling me that they're sorry, they shipped my package today, and to write "REFUSED" on it and send it back.
At 6:15pm est they sent me a notification saying it had shipped.
I'm going to play along and give them the benefit of the doubt, but the way they're going about things seems very peculiar.
Where can I buy this case shipped to or in Canada?
Egh I have this for the Nexus 4 and it gets damaged so easily on the back. The material takes permanent scratches like nothing.
