"Free" Stealth Guard Full Body Cover (Only pay S&H)

I saw a thread in the marketplace section of the forum for free Stealth Guard body covers. So I checked out the Stealth Guard website and they are indeed selling free body covers (you only pay the shipping) I picked one up for my Captivate and paid only $2.89!
I thought I'd post it here because I think this is a really good deal. **Mod Edit - Advertising Links Removed**
And I found on Android Forums a review comparing Zagg and Phantom Skinz and Stealth Guard in pretty good detail: http://androidforums.com/motorola-d...ector-reviews-zagg-vs-phantom-vs-stealth.html

Thanks for the share. Just ordered mine and it did notify me that it'll send a tracking number to my email.

It is not really free - it is $2.85 with free shipping. A second set is $2. This will cost them $0.49 to ship in US via first class mail.
If you want to cover your phone in clear vinyl, it is probably a decent product - as good as the others, but no special deal is coming anyones way.

Seems like a great deal to me for that price.

Meh... I have never been a fan of the full body clear protection because the corners (what'll get done in the most) are still left open.

That's what I'm thinking... A full body cover for less than $3? That's a steal to me, especially since skins like Zagg cost around $20.
The thread in the marketplace about this offer seems to be gone now, but I read success stories of people buying four for about $11 and some change and I haven't really heard anything negative about these covers (I've heard the occasional THESES SUCK but like 1% of the time). I might pick up a few more.
The only bad thing i've read, now that i think about it, is that it doesn't come with any solution to spray on

I just ordered 2 for $4.85 shipped.
I like skins because you can put them on the phone underneath a snap-on cover and it protects the phone from the stuff that gets inside the cover and scratches the device.

Just ordered mine. I read that the screen protector (which is all I'll be using) is high quality and has a smooth glide to it. Thanks for the post!

So i've been reading around about these Stealth Guard shields and I have found quite a few more 'these are crap' posts. From what I've read, as a body case don't expect much, but as a screen cover, it's awesome.
When I get mine I'll post a review of what I think of it as a screen protector.

I bought a set for my Wife's iPhone before they were available for the Captivate. It's okay on the iPhone, it didn't fit very well, but for $3 it's worth it. I also bought one for my neighbors Droid. No word on if he installed it yet.

Did you use any liquid solution when you installed the screen protector or anything else?

Thanks a TON! After dealing with the Zagg, I'll gladly try this out.

Thank for sharing !!! I just ordered one

Not Received
I ordered last week. Have not received mine yet.
How long does it take?

Ordered a couple of these as well. I'm currently using a skinomi screen protector, and I don't think I'm taking it off. But I wanted to check out the rest of the cover. For the price dont' think I can really go wrong.

The Wait Is Over.....The Otterbox Commuter Case Is Here......

Just ordered mine....

Congratz? .

I wish there was a 13 page thread about this somewhere

I just ordered the Otterbox Commuter series for the EVO. I let you know how it is. If anyone wants to order I found a coupon code that gives you free shipping and 10% off.
Here it is: tb810z
That should get you the free shipping(FEDEX) and 10% off.
By the way, does anyone know anything about the screen protector that is included. Is it any good? Is it clear or antiglare? I have a boxwave crystal clear on now, but I just scratched it up and need to replace and don't know if I should wait to see how the protector is. Anyone who has gotten the Otterbox's before, how are the included screen protectors?

Look at my otterbox it pwns yur case for realz
I'll stick with my tpu case that saved my phone from many drops with no marks. It doesn't take much to protect the phone. It definitely doesn't take how much otterbox charges. It isn't like it costs them any more to make their cases. They just charge more because they can.
The convertible designed one has it's perks of course, but should still be half the price it is.

Just spent $200 on a glass touch screen phone. I'll gladly pay $35 for piece of mind. Most of the cases released for the evo kind of, if not totally suck. The case is just way better designed.

Thanks for the lol
I think $35 is worth peace of mind and I used to spend a fair amount on protecting my devices but when I got my EVO I realized this phone comes in a beautiful case that HTC provided as part of the package. I don't even want to cover the thing up and $7/mo buys a fair amount of peace.
If I were still working in an environment where it was likely my phone would be badly damaged over time then I would absolutely fork out the cash. Fortunately my EVO is safe and sound all by itself in my front left pocket.
The otterboxes set the standard, IMO. But they really dropped the ball on this. I'd like to know why it took them so long, out of curiosity. Did it really take them this long to fill a projected first order? Did they not see the EVO as a priority?

Just ordered mine. I am travelling on the 17th, hope it comes before that with Fedex Ground.

dang hopefully the defender is ready soon. the next test will be if the defender case will fit in the siedo car mout

Otterbox Defender Pre-Order $26.99 with FSSS

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?

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!

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!

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.

I ordered as soon as I got the email. They're not too far from Miami so hopefully I'll get it soon after they start shipping.

waiting for the all black.
watched the video again and they changed it.. the kickstand looks thin, so i dont know... also they said the holster is optional, this wouldnt be good cause 49 bucks for just the case when others sell it with everything sucks. yeah the case is heavy duty but i dont know.

She is saying "optional" as in it's optional to use it. The holster is included with the case.
The coupon code gives you $5 off and free shipping for a total savings of $19.99. So they normally charge $15 for shipping!???? Thats just plain ridiculous. I was going to preorder, but I think I will wait for them to hit Amazon. Their iPhone 4 cases are going for $27.99 with free shipping on Amazon.

this case is a beast! I could probably throw this at someone without hesitation!
But without adding the "optional rubber silicone case" i dont think the 3500 will fit like the defender did "ghetto rigged" like OP said in the other thread.
Love the looks of the Ballistic case though!
damn u battery ! -shakes fist-

The pre-ordered the grey/black since it was actually one of my preferences along with the red/black. I already have the defender in all black.

i just ordered the black/grey one 44.99
ships the 12/13

Still waiting for the Red/Black combo....

I have a Trident Cyclops for my wife, she also likes to wear tight pants. It a great case with excellent protection and relatively slim.
The Defender has had some complaints regarding quality. They tried a different manufacturer, so that may be part of the problem.

For me the major difference is the fact that the speakers are also protected where on my defender the speakers are open.

Great deal on a really nice platinum series case - $8 shipped

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.

Thanks for the find good deal I picked up one also.

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.

Great find..

was going to order one but seen no idea how long shipping is

From the reviews I read shipping doesn't take to long. They are based in California.

There are a ton of reviews on YouTube. Here is one:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgrDNmJwfHA&feature=youtube_gdata_player
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.
Sent from my HTC EVO 4G with Tapatalk

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
