Otterbox Cases

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 shoulfny

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

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.

Looks nice, but what's the difference between this and the other one they sell? This has 3 layers and the other has 5? Just how much bulk does this one add to the Evo?

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.

Does this case come with a holster?

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

Please do I'm very interested in this case its the closest to an otter box case I've seen and want to know how well made it is

Im ordering my case today. I will report back when i get it
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk

Just got it in. Put it on, and it makes the phone feel so much more stable. I'll post some pics later, but it fits like a glove just like the pics on their site. Nice and snug. No gaps anywhere. The inner part is really soft touch silicon almost squishy rubber feeling, and the outer layer is a hard shell plastic, but it has that soft felt touch. Very high quality. All the holes line up perfectly. I recommend it.

Any pictures?

Reminds me of the speck cases for the iphone, which is what i used because the iphone is a frickin egg... as an engineer, its currently the most effective design to minimize shock in the event of an impact.

Just ordered mine. Hopefully it's all it's cracked up to be!

Video Review - SGS2 Incipio Silicrylic Case
I like the case! IMHO it's the best one available out there right now for the SGS2 for T-Mobile. Much better than the Body Glove cases they sell at the T-Mobile store (yes I've tried them all). I give it a 9/10 watch my video review (first ever, so apologies in advance) here:

Easy to install, nice to the touch, looks pretty slick from the back. Sides are a little soft, but nothing major. The buttons are super easy to press, which is the complete opposite of the DSO case.

Yeah.....I'm actually using the black and gray D30 but wanted a all black one. I then saw this thread hahahja. Oh well $27.99 for two quality cases ain't so bad

The Silicrylic case is available for $17.99 on Incipio's website and on Amazon (sold by Incipio)
same goes for the feather case
1-day sale

I seriously have to vent about the design of this phone. UGH!

What in the hell was Samsung thinking when they made this thing so damn shiny and smooth? I drop it on a daily basis.
I tried a silicone case from eBay, the fit was GREAT but the things like a dang lint roller. EVERYTHING sticks to it. I pick up my phone and it's covered with hair and grit, dirt, sand, you name it.
I actually have to wash my silicone case off. I actually got sick of how much stuff it picks up, I stopped using it.
I ordered a Case-Mate case last week, hoping that works out better. Hopefully it shows up tomorrow before I just return it for an iPhone 4S, ugh, it's frustrating the hell out of me.

blame the phone on your parkinson's disease. makes sense.

Order a TPU case. Nothing is better. They have them on Amazon. Matte black looks amazing with this phone. The owner of TPU posts on XDA and is always listening to our feedback.

Hmm... haven't dropped the phone yet.

Try TPU next time, its amazing.

Haven't dropped mine yet. Maybe you should try sticky tape on your hands

How does a TPU case differ from a Silicone case as far as stuff sticking to it? I've never really had much luck with these rubber cases from that stand point. Stuff always sticks to them like crazy.
What is a TPU case made from? I guess if the Case-Mate doesn't work out, I can try that next.
That said, I think I actually looked at the TPU cases when first looking for a case. TPU Cases was sold out every time I looked so I ended up ordering this silicone rubber piece of crap I got from eBay.

Nothing sticks to it and it looks and fits nicely to the phone with not much thickness added
It's made of TPU. It's some longer scientific name.

This phone is very slippery, partiularly the back panel. It's like it's made of Teflon or something.
I second the suggestion of a TPU case. Best case I've had, incredible customer service. I highly recommend one.

Could be different for someone else, but I've had mine for 2 weeks and I have noticed some extra scuff marks. Since the upper rim of the case where the phone enters is made of a slightly harder TPU material, constantly removing the phone from the case will cause this to happen. I do this to clean out any dust particles that may get through. If it wasn't for the case looking so good on the phone, I probably would've switched it out for that reason.

get a TPU case, not going to prevent drops but just trust sammy's build quality. Mine has already taken some spills and already came out ahead

How do you drop your phone so often that you blame the phone's design?
I did accidentally throw my phone, but that's because I forgot it was in my hand, lol.

Go with the TPU case. I picked up the matte black one off of amazon myself as a temp solution until I splurged on a casemate or something more "heavy duty" and otterbox like.
I actually decided to just rock the TPU case.. it's niiiiice.
I also have a vid review up on amazon for it as well.

What is a good protective case that won't stick to my pocket?

I'm looking for a case that offers some drop protection, but won't add a lot of bulk and won't stick to my pocket. Now I have a tpu case but I don't think it has much drop protection. Is there any bumper case that just go around the edge like the iPhone bumpers?

i got mine from ebay a while ago, its a hard plastic . Works great and since it not rubber it wont stick. SOrry cant find a link as ebay is blocked at work :/

Ok, I'm looking for something that would also have shock/drop protection, something like the speck candyshell would be perfect, but they don't make it for this phone, maybe someone know of a similar case?

The back is plastic. That's the same exact case I got for my sisters One S, even the color, lol. And I have a similar blue one only the corners are thicker rubber. We got them so my nephew wouldn't damage our phones throwing them around. It will go in a pocket just fine if the pockets are roomy. Tight jeans might be a hassle.
Edit: Just checked the amazon link and that's the same one I have only in black. The only difference between that one and the green one is the plastic texture on the back. And the silicone corners layer is thinner on the green one, which annoys my sister as it stretched out and now the top and bottom is loose around her phone, whereas the thicker one I have holds tight and firm.
Hope that helps.

Well the d30 technology is made for impact protection(it's used in helmets, safety gear, etc) but I've never personally used it. I can verify the two piece plastic/rubber case I have definitely protects against drops, but with corners like that how could it not, lol. My phone straight up bounces when I drop it.

I've had 2 d3os, the one that was hard plastic on the back (99% of then crack) and the one that is all hard rubber. The buttons are really hard to press on either, and i think it led to a malfunctioning power button because i was pressing so hard. Great protection and doesn't come off easily. If you drop it face down i think it will protect it

The Beast from Evo claims this newfound Hybrid Armor can protect one's jewels from being thrown over 50 pes. I am very much so obliged to agree with this monstrous beast! His personal guarantee is written in stone as well.

I'm happy with my D3O case. Haven't had any major drops but it provides a nice grip when holding the phone so it's not as slick as the phone when it's naked.
