Oh man, I was about to order the Defender but I'm not so sure anymore
This case looks so much better and more protective than the defender it looks serious. I should have my defender tomorrow and I'm sure ill keep it but as soon as this one comes out I'm all for it. I really love that it protects the camera and led lights. I might be mistaken but the defender does not...someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

I should have worded it better, I meant to say it looks horrible (ugly) I know it has not been released but did you check the YouTube video link posted or the link to the site? Just my opinion nothing personal.

I just want the most protective case possible for when I'm on job sites. I could care less how it looks or if it fits in my pocket. When I get home from work, the phone goes in a Barely There case.

How much is this going to cost?
Swyped from... Who gives a frak?
Too lumpy for my tastes. I prefer the Otterbox Defender.
I have the defender and I'm still definitely going to get the red ballistic for my evo. I do have to admit the only thing missing from the defender is both speaker openings are open. I prefer how they are closed on the ballistic.
out of all the cases i've seen it surely looks the most safe and durable, but that thing has the looks of something only a mother could love.
no belt clip is a deal breaker for me
That kickstand will break...
Just as with the Defender, they have chosen a skinny, flimsy plastic kickstand to go with the tank body.
Word to the wise, that kickstand WILL break. Do NOT buy this case.

+1 i was thinking the same thing as long as you don't need or use the kick stand its cool but still to pay so much for a case to not be able to use all of its features cause of something that is so cheaply made.......not worth my money

Just got off the phone with the people from Otterbox. They are very aware of the problems with the kickstand and are working on a redesign currently. Stay tuned.
** One has to wonder how their quality control allowed that POS out the door in the first place, but I digress. The people at Otterbox are very nice; however, they are not always efficient. I had to call back twice to get a credit to my account for my broken Defender. The first time I was promised a credit it never happened. This would not be a problem except for the fact that calling Otterbox is a minimum 20 minute commitment of waiting on hold.
there was such a demand for the defender case that they rushed it out too quick.

Quick?
btw, it seems as though they used a different manufacturer for the Evo cases...thus the lower quality
Yea there was nothing quick about the evo defender release. Now the iPhone 4, that was quick!
The Defenders problem is just bad design. The thinnest part of the kickstand is where the most abuse happens - the hinge.

Otterbox Cases are up with prices but you can't order yet
Impact: http://bit.ly/hUCrM0 Not available anymore.
Commuter: http://bit.ly/dOaA0b
I think i'm getting a commuter. What do you guys think?
FINALLY!
Deff getting a commuter
I love to see some new cases. What are the differences between these two cases? Why such a big price difference?
impact is rubber ONLY no hard shell plastic OVER rubber shell...
commuter has BOTH rubber and hard shell...
Will the commuter peel away at my screen protector like the gel case since it comes up to the edges like that?

I hope the commuter does not make the phone HUGE. I do love the look of it, but my car mount is almost flushed with the eBay two piece cover. It looks small in the pics. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
I don't mind getting either or depending on how they go on the phone. If it a front peace and a back peace that click together no thanks... But if it slides on then thumbs up

So the impact is like a soft case? Is it similar to the gel case or no?

the impact is a one piece soft case, thicker for better protection... and the commuter is a two piece soft and hard, its like the tmobile ones they have in the stores but better, wish they had cut outs for the pins though...
I used to own Nexus with case-mate, and although nice the rubber started stretching. I ordered rubber case off ebay with screen, and it's the best one I've had - $ 8.95 with shipping.
I am thinking of getting the Commuter case.
Looks like they're on Amazon right now...for a lot less.

Having previously used the defender series on my blackberry, which is even bunker than the commuter, I can say for a fact it doesn't make it much heavier at all. But it does make it nigh indestructable, lol

I have the power skin case it sucks for protection. I'm definitely getting a commuter case. It looks wrap tightly around the phone for protection. I dropped my phone so many times already. My friend has one for his hd2 looks like it can survive a car crash with the otter box on.

It is pretty ridiculously shaped, but does look like it would protect well.

i guess if I was going into some rough area.. battle.. mosh pit...

You can use this case to smash lesser phones with. If i didn't already own a ballistic and seidio rugged i'd give this one a whirl
Picked mine up from here:

The problem is in the event of a drop those hard exterior cases chip or crack. The kraken does have a mix of hard spots and silicon and pocketing my phone hasn't been an issue.

Do these things actually protect well? I feel like the impact would be transferred to the device more so than a TPU/silicone case. Sure they look nice, but I don't feel like they are practical.

When I got it, it was installed by a friend of mine, the in between the case and phone, have a silicone cushion build on the case. The phone do budge or move at all.
I guess the silicone cushion is made for shock absorption.

Something like Taurus isnt a full case but a bumper.
The battery cover isnt covered by metal, so it wont heat at all.

Anyone know where you can order the sweet armor one online? I can't seem to find it on google at all, might be using the wrong search codes though but still. I do like the gunmetal taurus one as well.
Also, how do the buttons feel on the taurus once applied?
Hey guys,
I was wondering with the case on, can you still take off the back cover? like sometimes the phone crashes and if you cant then it would suck !!
Looking to purchase a sweet armor one from Gmarket.

but does this fit a international Samsung Galaxy S2?
that makes sense. i suppose that'll look pretty good
are they really made with metal?

but the blue one looks so cool. just like a robot~~

kinda like that But you shouldnt drop your phone anyway. Its better to break a 20-30$ bumper than a 600$ phone
I have a taurus one at the moment, if I drop it and it break, ill just go with a walnut one. Im using it because it fit with the 3200-3500mA battery. If I could get an otterbox for extended battery I would, but they wont make one

Great looking case, does little for actually protecting the phone though! Link
looks crazy as if there's actual water on it.
I'd get this case if it was in a solid color I'm looking for a really slim profile case like this one that's not too expensive.
The water droplets look very realistic and that's really cool. How's the grip? Does it feel slippery and erm.. plastic-like? lol
I'm thinking of getting the blue or the red one.
