The innocase rugged is now available
http://www.seidioonline.com/category-s/4407.htm
Are you guys gonna buy one? Im still unsure. Either this or the extended battery which is not so pretty.
And also theres not much picture of the case. Wondering what it looks like.
If im asked which one i like better, rugged or defender. I choose rugged because of the surfaceii option.

I'm confused by the choices. I am not sure what the difference is between the $50 and $70 combination. I am not sure what the difference is. Can someone explain if I need one holster or two and why?

It looks like the $50 option just gives you a holster for when it is in "rugged" mode. Where the $70 option throws in the holster for the not rugged (Surface) option as well. Meaning, either way you put it together, Surface or Rugged, you will have a holster that fits. Kinda pricey if you ask me.

Innocase Active X Combo
Question: Does the Active X combo for $30.00 include the actual Innocase II case itself, or is it sold seperately?
Common sense would be to have it included, but i wanted to make sure before i make my purchase.
Also, does anyone have a Discount coupon code? I was planning on buying one for wife and i, and as you know, extra change is hard to come by these days...
Thanks in advanced

The active x doesn't pair with the innocase II. Active x includes a soft gel like case with a hard protective cover that snaps on the back, in comparison to the otterbox commuter case. The rugged case is the one that pairs with the innocase II for max protection. Based on Seido's website it comes in three flavors: A rugged add on kit for 29.95 to add to innocase II if you already own, a rugged holster combo for 49.95 which includes innocase II, rugged skin, skeleton and a rugged holster, and the rugged combo value pack for 69.95 which includes everything in rugged combo + a holster to hold phone when using just the innocase II.
The post above have provided a great link that currently has a rugged holster combo for 31.95.
Sorry you've already read and responded to post with the link to rugged holster combo on ebay for good price, so please disregard my post.
Just Curious, does anyone actually have a discount coupon code to use on the seidio website?
Not a big fan of Ebay at the moment. (Long Story)
Someone bought the one from ebay for $31? What do you guys think about it? Im thinking of buying defender but it's expensive and doesnt have the option of becoming an impact case. Unlike rugged that can be turn to surfaceii.
Defender is also out of stock from most cheap stores.

I just received my Rugged Case from Innocase. I like the protection it gives and the decide is good. The only thing that I dont like is the silicone parts love lints. It would be great if it doesnt attract much like my brother's 3gs defender.
The buttons below(menu, home, back, search) are hard to press because of the thickness of the case. Maybe I'll get used to it.
I bought this case knowing it can transform to SurfaceII. I really like the texture of the SurfaceII.

Nice Pics! :::thumbs up:::
Questions:
1) does the top provide covers for the headphones and usb port? I am trying to compare with the pics of the Defender from Otterbox.
2) hows the rubber as far as being flimsy? Is it easily manipulated?
3) attracting lint is something i guess i can live with, but does it also stick inside pockets?
*decide = design

The rubber is good. The exoskeleton makes it better.
3) it is easy to take it out of the pocket. But after taking it out, theres lint all over the case.

That's a good price too. I was just putting it out there that the listing I posted was a buy it now or best offer,and I offered him$ 35,and he accepted it immediately. So I got it for 35,then at paypal checkout, I entered promo code CADVANCE10,and it took $10 off, so I got the case for $25 with free shipping! Give it a shot, bet you get the same deal!
man what a bad time for it to FINALLY come out.
I wanted to get it so I'd have my phone in a case when I went to Air Force basic training (even though I won't be able to use my phone, I still like it protected) and I leave next week. lol overnight shipping I guess.

have you had any issues with the flaking of the rubber? mine is flaking like crazy! and its really hard to hit the buttons thru the silicone.
I gotta say my overall experience with Otterbox hasn't been great. Won't even get into the delays, but when my order finally shipped i received no email conformation. The website said order shipped but no tracking info. I work and my wife is in and out running errands or taking care of our kid, so knowing when it would arrive via FedEx would have been nice.
As for the case itself, i got the Defender series. Do to me being a UPS man i tend to beat the hell out of my phone. I didn't really care about my Dare, but my Droid X is another story. I love this case. It protects everything while still leaving everything accessible and usable, the holster on the other hand i can't stand. It's freakin HUGE. I would have liked some kind of spring action when removing the phone from the holster, but there isn't. It takes some getting use to and one hand removal or insert is very difficult. I usually leave the phone in my truck or shirt pocket and avoid the holster all together.
So for anyone who hasn't purchased a defender case yet here's my 2 cents.

There is no need to buy direct from Otterbox. I got a brand new genuine Otterbox Commuter series for $28 shipped from reputable ebay seller (klassicase). Came in official unopened box, arrived in 3 days, and warranty fully honored. (LINK)
I love it, except for the side port cover (hdmi/usb). It it like there is too much rubber, so it sticks out a bit. The top cover for the headphone jack is spot on. Other than that, it is a great case, easy to hold and not too thick. The screen protector is good too, but I may get a Zagg InvisiShield to put under the otterbox just because I am obsessive. (No 'flaking issues' as reported above, mine is solid)
http://www.mobilecityonline.com/wir...&refine=y&Category=Cases&Manufacture=OtterBox
43 dollars tax and shipping included.
had a little scuff on the screen cover (defender has built in screen cover) that you had to hold to the sunlight to see, looks perfect on phone.
sweet case.
I got a brand new Defender case on ebay for $35 and free shipping (find one with best offer and offer that and it's instantly accepted). It's the best case I've ever owned for any phone. I don't find any trouble using the holster. You can put the phone in the holster any way you like (face in, face out, upside down, etc). Little bulky, but I like the heft and it's worth the protection to me.

I have been usings the bodyglove case for about 3 months and it worked great but it was only temporary as I was waiting for the otter box cases to roll out. I got a hands on with the defender case and the commuter case, this is my overall opinion on both.
The defender case is awesome and very heavy duty, comes with a great belt clip "metal hindges" and the built in screen protector is a plus. The cons to this is if the screen protector gets damaged you will have to mail the entier case to otter for a replacement leaving you caseless for a while, or doing surgery on your case and literally cutting the screen protector out of the equation and going with an alt. Also the defender is larger and thicker than the body glove case making it impossible to easily remove or put in your pocket, especially with the silicone cover.
The commuter case on the other hand is much thinner, even thinner than the bodyglove case which makes removing other putting in your pocket is a breezee, it is also much more stylish since the poly case is on the outside, the cons to this case is the poly cover will start to scratch over time, it is also much slicker than the bodyglove or defender case so it will slide around on smooth surfaces.
Overall in terms of protection id say they both offer roughly the same amount with the defender being a bit better due to thicker silicone. To me it came down to not wanting a belt clip and not having too much bulk in my pocket so the commuter was my no.1 choice and I have no regrets.
Hey xda members, 2 days ago i got my Otterbox Commuter case, and today i recieved my XO Skins screen protector.
This is my first time writing a review, so please bare with me lol
So I've been using the otterbox case for a few days now and i must say I LOVE IT!
the fit is very nice, looks great, and feels awesome. I have read that some people find it to be too slippery, but for me its great. I likke how it has the flaps for the charger port and headphones jack, helps keep out dust and such. It sits very nicely in the hand, i found the phone without any case to be a little slim and i felt like it was going to slip out everytime I held it. The one concern I have with this case is the power button, and those that have this case please let me know if it's the same with yours, i can't feel the button actually push in, it feels more like I just touch it and the screen comes on or off. Not sure if I like it or not but i am getting used to it now. The volume buttons on the other hand feel fine. At first i was worried that the case would make the phone look and feel bulky, as i had one for my X2, but i was surprised this doesn't add too much bulk. The phone, to me at least, feels perfect in my hand. Also this case covers up the the prongs below the power button, i don't mind or care about it but some of you might so keep that in mind. Also i do have the extanded battery 2100mAh too and did try it with this case and it's not a nice fit. There are some gaps on the sides and the buttons seem like they are pressed in at times so i would not recommend this case with the extended battery.
And just a few hours ago I recieved my XO Skins screen protector in the mail and put it on right away. My previous screen protector I had just before i put this one on was the verizon one, and it sucked. Cut outs were bad and too large for the toop speaker and there was about a mm of space on the edges of the screen, which i didn't like. The XO on the other hand is fantastic. The screen protector is almost invisible unless you look at the cutout for the front cam and light sensor. It goes right to the very edge of the screen which i like. The quality is also fantastic. The material feels somewhat like that of the ZAGG but no orange peel what so ever, which i also like. I did however order the ZAGG as well for the full body just to be safe lol.
Overall I recommend this case with this screen protector to anyone, both are a great combination. The case i got on ebay for 29.50 and free shipping and the screen protector i got from the XO website, and somewhere on here someone posted some discount coupons which i wish i would have seen before i bought mine but no biggy it was only 13.xx i believe plus 2.99 shipping
I also have on the way and SGP Neo Hybrid case which i will post a review once i get it. Got the Reventon Yellow.

Also, you can't really tell here but the XO skins doesn't affect the quality of the screen what so ever. took that pic on the Nexus actually hood of my car very nice pics even though some people complain.
If someone would like to know something more or see more pics let me know.
Thanks

Question about the XO skin (not directed towards the topic creator but I just figured that since this thread is somewhat related to it I could ask it here), how does the lifetime replacement warranty work? Is it like, you order it and get it but you apply it wrong somehow and it gets ruined they will send you back a new perfect one for you to apply?

I sent them a email. They sent me a link to order a replacement with a rma #. You have to pay $3 and some change for shipping. They tell you too send back the original skin, but for me they sent the replacement upon payment for the shipping. Note that they don't send you any more solution so if you don't have any left you can order more from the site for $3. Not sure if the adding of the solution will increase the shipping costs since I didn't order it. Basically they sent the skins in a regular envelope for regular first class postage of $.44. So they really don't lose anything because they make about $3 on the postage.

That's good to hear. The CM Tough Case's silicon always attracted lint/dust, it appears this one seems better to avoid it.
Is the power button easy to depress with the commuter? My isn't clicky like the volume buttons. I do have a replacement coming soon.

most likely lol.. ive seen them price drop on Amazon lately... bought myself the Commuter last night for ~$29 with free shipping.
Had a Case-Mate Tough Case before but was tired of the silicon attracting dust plus Case-Mate refunded me the money I paid for the case so it's like I got it for free because of the revision. Decided not to go with Case-Mate again and give this case a try as I bought a extended battery and that wouldn't fit with Case-mate.

I use the spray for a cleaner now. you can just refill the bottle with water. Add a drop of dish soap if you want. That's all it is. Someone sprayed some in their eye and they said that on their twitter account http://twitter.com/xoskins
That Otter box and xo combo looks great. I have been waiting to get the Otterbox for it, just waiting for it local. I'll probably just order online for it now.

Thanks for the review! I think I'm gonna pop off my Defender SP and install one of those XO skins.
Why do they sell the case for cheaper on Amazon rather than their own site?
I just noticed Seidio have released a rugged case and holster for the Note which they call "Active".
On my Nexus One I had the less rugged "Surface" cover and it was great. The holster is awesome provided you make sure never to get a bit of your shirt in the holster and pull the phone out as I did once.
The holster has a spring loaded clip which is fantastic. Not like the Otterbox flexing plastic clip. I haven't used the Otterbox holster but the Seidio looks much better.
My Nexus One had one drop onto concrete in the case and was fully protected. The case had a corner don't and tiny crack about 4mm but was ready to go round two. Note is 50% heavier but Active has reinforced corners.
The model they have for the Note also has rib exo skeleton (maybe ABS plastic?) which goes to the corners and side in a six point asterisk configuration for extra tough support over the soft rubbery plastic under case.
The Active is $30 for case, $30 for holster or $50 for both together in the combo pack.
They are also making a not yet available version with a kickstands on the Active case for an extra $5 at $35. Same holster. Kickstand Combo $55.
I'm giving them a week to see if they bring out the kickstand model. Otherwise I'll spring my $50 for the regular Active Combo. It was great on my Nexus One. I can't wait to get this onto my Note and onto my jeans belt :-D
I will have to ditch my extended battery to fit. But I have one of those cheap ebay 10,000mah battery packs to recharge on the go now and its great

I had the active case with kickstand and it was the best phone case I have ever had. I had the Otterbox commuter case on my HD2 and it broke. The replacement broke as well. I am not an Otterbox fan. Totally sold on the Seidio active case. I would preorder it now if they let me.
I've had Seidio cases that were awesome and some that fell apart. I've had Otters that were awesome and some that fell apart. Both companies are hit or miss in my experience.
I've had Trident and Ballistic cases and all of them were durable and beautiful.
I ordered a combo case last week. Should be here sometime this week, looking forward to it.
Is there anything that can beat it? I see Case Mate is here for Note and it looks good. But no holster means no deal for me.
Does Seidio have any rugged competitors?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Wow. I live in Spain and I was about to order the case when I saw shipping was 35 dollars. Total rip off. Case mate only charges 7 dollars. I guess I'll go with case mate as soon as I find out how much thicker it makes the device.

Yeah Seidio are expensive. I'll either pay for it though or switch to Galaxy S3 AND 7 or 10" Note... none of which are available yet...
Probably cheaper to put my Note into a new Seidio suit than two devices into Seidio suits ;-)

Seidio combo
Got the combo case today in the mail. WORKS PERFECT!
fuzzy clip holder to protect the screen, nice spring loaded clip for the belt & spring loaded clip to hold the phone into the holster.

Please post some pictures of the case!

Im concerned about how thick it makes the device...i know the surface ones only add about 1mm..
hopefully its still pocketable
Very little added. Less bulk than the Case that at&t has.
Just to see if it would fit, I popped on the speck black at&t case, and it fits
the Seidio belt clip/holder perfectly.
So if you have that one, or something very similar, you can get just the
Seidio belt clip.

I'm a big fan of the Otterbox Commuter Series case for my SGS II. This looks like a really good alternative while Otterbox sort themselves out in releasing a case for the Note.
Here are some photos of the Seidio case, next to a 10 dollar case I found
on the internet here> http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260961000978&ssPageName=ADME:L:OC:US:1123
I actually like this 10 dollar case almost if not more than the Seidio case

Notice how the cutouts for the on/off & volume sort of cover the buttons?
They don't seem to bother it when you want to use them. The other
cases have the rubber sticking over them, and at times when it is in the
clip and I sit down (mine stays on my left hip, means on/off is pointed DOWN)
I see the phone light up because it strikes my pants leg and activates it.
Here it is with the kick stand sticking out.
And here is a photo of BOTH empty cases laying side by side. As you can
see, the cheapy case is a little thinner than the Seidio case.
There ya go...hope it helps. I'm going to use the 10 dollar case from
China this week, see how it goes. I ordered it on Feb 26, a Sunday
in the states, Monday in Hong Kong. I received it via standard mail
on Monday, March 12 in Missouri.
i dont like that because the top/bottom edges are exposed, no good on a drop
Yep, that is the problem with it, but, I'm VERY careful. Ran my Dell Streak for over a year without any case or screen protector on it, just the microfiber pouch.
I don't use screen protectors at all. The only reason I put this plastic/rubberish case on it is because it fits the belt clip like a glove. Oh, the bottom being exposed for me anyway, has the side benefit of fitting the charging dock without having to strip it out of the case.

In order to use the holster to fit good, do you need the seido case? Can the holster be used if there's no case?
Im still searching for a nice holster
No, it will "fit", but it's VERY loose. I'd be afraid it would fall out.

Thanks for posting the pics! So all of my other seidio holsters have a rotating clip with strong ratchet. Can you move this holster to be vertical as well a horizontal? From the picture it looks like you can only do horizontal.
Interesting find on Seidio Active Combo
I posted earlier in the ATT forum how I was disappointed in the lack of a good current coupon for a Seidio Active combo.
Turns out that Google really is your friend. I found and ordered the same product from this vendor. The price represents a 30% discount to Seidio's price. I also did not have to pay sales tax (sorry New Yorkers) that I would if I had ordered from Seidio. (They are in Texas).
They also accept paypal which made it super easy to order! If you are interested in this combo, this might save you a bit of money.

Trident not only looks cool but it has almost everything I would want, kickstand, optional car mount (don't need remove case for car mount), tripod attachment, port plugs (keeps dirt and dust away from Ports). Impact protection, from their vids could even survive drop from 2 storey building (not sure if it's really true) only thing it doesn't have built in screen and camera protector like otterbox, but they do provide a static cling film. Just that I never used their case before so not sure of the quality

Received email from Ballistics they won't be making the Hardcore Case that would be on par with Otterbox's Defender and Trident Kraken:
Hello,
Thank you for your interest in our Ballistic cases. Unfortunately, we will not be producing a Ballistic HC case for the HTC One X at this time. However, I will forward your request to our Engineering and Design Team for future considerations. If we can assist you with anything further please feel free to contact us.

I would use a holster, so the http://www.seidioonline.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=BD4-HKR4HTNXG is out. (plus, they have bad pics, I can't tell what's going on there...)
The http://www.tridentcase.eu/lang-en/htc/180-kraken-ams-for-one-x.html is enticing, but I don't know about their screen protector. I'd have to read some reviews. Although I don't expect I'd use the holster, it has a USB protector (which looks like it provides functionality), does not have a superfluous lense guard like seidio model (after all, it's inset so far...) and offers a nice kickstand! Looks slick enough too. I fear not bulk.
I dunno about the Ballistic case... they don't ahve enough info to sell me. Maybe. Seems a step up from what I have now, but lack features the kraken has...
There isn't an otter box, and if there will be is questionable. Plus, what I read about their built in screen protector is all pretty much negative - besides, it doesn't seem like any more than a normal screen protector...
Kraken gets my vote.
Really like the Trident Kraken case. I like the fact that is it like the Otterbox and has a built in screen protector. Phones arrive Tuesday and wish these companies would hurry and get their products out to market.
Has anyone got a supplier for the Kraken case apart from the OEM? 55 euros is WAY too much when there other cases are on E-bay for $24 AUD!

Think it's not out yet, they might adjust the price once it's available. For reference you might take a look at Evo 3D prices in USD:

updated first post
updated first post with Otterbox Defender case details, and some vids to help u guys decide which "rugged" case
I don't like rugged cases, as rugged just means bulky,
However, I have owned a case-mate tough for the sgs2 and it was very solid (Very!), couldn't fault its protection or design - just added a bit too much bulk for my liking.
So, case-mate would be my choice.
- but I'd never get one as I wouldn't be sure of its thickness until I had it on my phone, if only I was one of those people who test products for company's all day. LOL

Kraken
I'm kind of upset that the One X doesn't have the same selection of cases as the iPhone, but I guess it's still pretty new, and the case manufacturers might be waiting to see the sales figures. Anyways, I originally thought that Otterbox was the only maker of these rugged cases for the One X. But now I see that there is more. I think the Trident Kraken would also be my choice, because it has the built-in screen protector like Otterbox but without the crappy reviews that Otterbox has. And it's not as bulky as I thought it would be, I guess every generation the case gets more and more stylish.

Rugged case is bulky, I don't use rugged case when I'm sitting on office, I just go caseless, phone protected with BestSkinsEver. I mostly used rugged case when I'm doing some outdoor activity..
But case like Case Mate tough doesn't really add much bulk IMO, for day to day use I find it still ok. Dropped my previous phone on tarmac a couple of times while getting out of a car, lucky I had Case Mate tough on.

I love the ballistics sg one..looks the slimest of all rugged ones..i may get it for outdoor use, and just caseless at home.

This is a review of generic Zizo Heavy Duty vertical pouch: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Heavy-Duty-...t=US_Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&hash=item2576ce4d88 The metal tag says something which appears like "Zizo", and it's on ebay for $7.61 shipped (local US).
As everybody knows, I typically review cases among other accessories. I have mentioned Seidio holsters and their universal fit with other cases, but pouches hasn't been my focus in the past. After seeing constant requests from people looking for pouches that are roomy enough to fit Note 2 in a case, I decided to explore this option. On a personal note, I'm not a fan of pouches, especially horizontal leather ones that look like a giant reading glasses case. When it comes to clipping Note 2 in a case to a belt, it's gotta be something decent looking and not bulky. This Zizo Heavy Duty Vertical Pouch is IT!!!
Even so it's classified as heavy duty, it's actually very light weight at only 62g. Dimensions are approximately 95mm x 150mm and it's actually relatively slim. The material/texture is heavy duty cross-stitched construction nylon, actually very nice quality. The inner back part of the pouch, the side that will be in contact with phone's screen, is made out of soft micro-fiber material. The flap of the case is equipped with a strong velcro to hold it securely closed. Walls of the pouch are expandable, made out of heavy duty elastic material. That's actually a perfect solution for universal fitment of this pouch with any case. One of the walls has an extra loop so you can either put a pen or put a keychain ring, etc. The back of the pouch has a belt loop (about 50 mm wide), threaded with heavy duty double stitching. On top of that you have a solid one piece metal belt clip, very solid construction. And if that's not enough, you also have a small metal loop to hook up lanyard. Pretty much they thought of every possible way to carry this pouch, not too mention that you can even put it in your pocket. Although being thin, this pouch is actually nicely padded and will offer a protection in addition to the case you already have on.
And speaking of cases, this pouch fits them ALL!!! I tested it with Zerolemone 9300mAh/TPU, UAG, Casemate Tough, Casemate Pop, Seidio CONVERT, and Otterbox Defender, each one documented with a picture below. Between these cases and monster ZL battery - pretty much everything is covered. By heavy duty nature of this case, I would HIGHLY recommend it for anybody who is planning to use it outdoors, hiking, biking, on a trip, etc. But even for everyday use it will make a great accessory to carry your Note 2 with your case inside of this pouch. Even so elastic sides of the case don't go all the way down to the bottom, I still think this pouch will protect your phone even if you get into a rain where the nylon shell should keep it dry. Obviously, you can use it with a naked N2 as well, but I think it's a Perfect and Secure solution to carry N2 with ANY case on your belt!!! Definitely a must have accessory in my book.
Here are the pictures:

No problem, officer apallohadas! Please post a picture/review of the holster/pouch you are talking about. I'm curious as well! I remember someone posted another heavy duty pouch used for military/hunting type of activities, but I don't recall the link. It was some outdoor company that makes backpacks, I think, but not Cabela's.
With a heavy duty one I reviewed, sure it's not the prettiest one to wear out'n'about. But it's exactly what I have been looking for when we go on a trail and I have to chase after my kids or if/when I go biking. Keeping N2, especially with additional weight of ZL9k3, in a pocket is not convenient even with cargo shorts. This belt clip is very secure, no springs or plastic parts to break off, extra padding gives it a good protection, and the most important part for me - it fits any case because of elastic expandable side-walls.

@vectron
thanks again for your reviews
I bought this case/holster based off your reviews and pictures.
I also bought a ZeroLemon 9300mah battery based off your reviews.
Yes verticle case is ugly, but it stood the test of time. My work requires me to go in and out of cars on a daily basis. My other phones had otterboxes, those clip holsters broke all the time getting caught on the seatbelt. This holster does too bet never did it break off.
I would like to add why i am posting this up.
This verticle case fits the zerolemon battery....here's my post about it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43549391#post43549391

You mean defender? Note 2 with Zerolemon fits perfectly with room to spare where I add 2-3 credit cards and a few bills. The sides of this pouch are elastic and stretchable, it should expand and the pouch itself is deep enough... still talking about the case, for anybody else grinning - wipe it off your face So, I'm suspecting you might got a wrong one sent by mistake? Defender case is the same dimensions as Note 2 with zerolemon, so it should definitely work (assuming you have defender holster off).

UPDATE: Shoot out, LoL!
$2.55 case vs $7.61 case!
Phone has ZeroLemon 9300 extended battery case
Following is the $2.55 case
Following is the original $7.61 case
$2.55 case on left, $7.61 case on right
New $7.61 case vs 3 month old $7.61 case on the right of course LoL
$2.55 case will fit the note 2 with a zero lemon battery in it much better than the $7.61 case. the $2.55 case is wider where as the $7.61 case will require some stretching to fit the zerolemon case.
As you can see the $7.61 case only lasted 3-4 months for me of daily work usage. it got a little wet from the rain once or twice.
Right now, since they are so cheap, i bought two $2.55 cases, after shipping it came out to $10 ish, still cheaper than the $7.61 case
