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?

It shouldn't, though we wont know for certain until they are actually released.

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.

Looks like these add significant size and weight to an already-heavy enough phone. Sounds like a terrible idea. No thank you.

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

Perhaps, guess we shall see. I know they had that same shipping period on a lexar microsd card a couple weeks ago, and I found it actually shipping elsewhere, so who knows.

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.

Thanks OP, I've been waiting for this case for a while. I have the ballistic now and the cyclops...I may end up with this Kraken now...hmmmmm
Wow, that's a really ugly case... I like it!

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...
that is the case to get.
other wise.. i would not want for daily use.
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:

Love the case switching from a sedio active case that took some damage after a fall lol. This is a little bigger but much more stylish and offers more protection. Cyanogen mod + blue case + cyanbread theme = matching phone and case. Sick

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.

Looks awesome...idk hiw well it will do with amazon and ebay sellin the HC for 29.99. I alot of females who love the ballistic but dont like the colors. They all got the kracken bc its availible in pink. If ballistic released something in like a pink or purple i know my girl and all her co-workers would get one asap

I would never choose this over the HC version. That is only my opinion, though.

The HC is way too big and feels unfinished when you take off the outside layer. for those of us who don't want to carry around a brick its a good alternative.

Ballistic never had any problems with the kickstand. It was Otterbox that had the kickstands that would break for no apparent reason.

Yea it would pop off, and you could put it back on (it wasn't designed to come off). I would personally like my kickstand to stay in its... I guess it would be a socket of some type?
But yea, you get it.
I bought this case mostly because I don't have a desk job so I don't have a nice, safe place to put my new Evo. I had a BodyGlove for the Hero and that did the trick but the Evo is much larger and more expensive . Yea, it made it a beast but it's cheaper than 500 bux. It did come with a holster that keeps the screen to your inside, it comes with a screen protector and the front cover has one as well. There's also covers for the camera and LEDS built into the back. The kickstand though, that's a pos. With a little cutting I'm sure the stock kickstand would poke through just fine but it appears it may lean the phone back too much. 27.95 with free shipping:

Just realized this says "SC" case and I have the "HC" case. Ehh, whatever though. It's basically the same case just the HC one is definitely for those that have accidents with their devices. Not only that I paid less for the HC then they advertise the SC one for so that's another plus. Personally, I like it but if you don't have large hands you may find this a little cumbersome to deal with everyday.
After about 3 weeks with my Ballistic HC I could not be happier. This is by far the best case on the market for strength, looks, and durability. I have not had a single issue with my kickstand. I had read all the comments so I grabbed my kickstand and vigorously pulled and shook it. It did not budge one bit. Either it was redesigned or some of you are absolute cavemen lol. I'm assuming Ballisitic took care of the issue with a redesign

Why is Otterbox always so slow to release cases? This was okay years ago when high-end phones were few and far between. But seriously, it's been half a year since the E4GT was released. They need to get products to market faster; the bulk of their customer base has bought an expensive case from their competitors.
Finally. Gonna cop one of these tomorrow.

[RANT] Why do the fashion police have to get involved every time someone talks about a heavy duty case? These cases (Otterbox, Ballistic, etc) are meant to PROTECT your phone, not look cute and pretty. Not everyone is an IT geek that wears skinny jeans and thinks a phone is a fashion accessory. For some of us, our phones are TOOLS that get used in rugged environments and need some real protection. We will gladly throw a big, ugly, bulky case on our phones if it means they are protected.

i also used a coupon code of tb1010y and got free 2-7 business day delivery
Considering my phone survived a 7 foot drop without a case, with minimal scratching... I can't imagine what it could survive in one of these cases.

Sucks and hates are two different words but ok. And I guarantee the case I have is different than the defender. My last phone was in a defender case when it was damaged. This case was just released not to long ago and maybe the OP didn't know they have a tougher case that's also waterproof. Just a thought though, could be wrong.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
no need for water case i think i will look around for a cool case that has everything
The defender ends up peeling and the outer rubber part barely stays attached to the hard plastic. I've had THREE of the them, I hardly even use my phone and my pockets are never tight and the case never snags. I checked out the Armor by Otterbox today it feels much nicer but it's very expensive and is literally a brick.
The latest outer cases seem stiffer and less rubbery. Have had Ø problems with these...
Otherwise they'll just keep replacing them until you're happy.
Great CS....
Just got back from the beach with my otterbox armor series. No sand or water on my phone. Stayed in my pocket in and out of the water. I love this case.
Sent from Under water
I use TPU cases. They're like silicone cases, but they're a little more substantial and do a good job absorbing minor impacts. Plus, they're cheap and come in a variety of styles.
If your using a standard battery UAG is my favorite... rocks.

I had one. Worst case I've ever had. Even at my discounted price of $60 on release day. Way to bulky when a life proof is just as good and not only cheaper but slimmer. Also part of the speaker cover that makes it water proof the screen layer fell off and seemed to be held on with cheap glue or silicon. In 5 years I've never needed a water proof case bit I also take care of my phones. I'd go with a ballistic shell gel. Very nice case and still fairly slim
