Any word on Otterbox cases?

Last I heard there is a couple in the works but this pos gel one from tmobile sucks and I'm afraid of damaging my mt4g. (im in construction)
Has anyone got any release dates or new info about when they might be releasing some?
Thanks I'm advance!

Dunno about otterbox, but I know I have heard seidio has been putting up some solid cases..

Saw that that seido case but it looks pretty basic. Don't know if u have ever had an otterbox case or not but they look like they are damn near bulletproof. That seido case looks like is just a snap on cover for the back. Couldn't see any front views though

They also make the phone so much bigger it looks like you have a brick in your pocket.... lol ... nerd city

That defender case with the holster looks bad ass!

I have one on my ipod touch and yes its slightly bigger but not top bad. These phones are already big in the pocket and if a case makes them too big then you my friend need to stop wearing the skinny jeans lol

lmao! i want an impact series. not as thick as the defender but not real thin like the commuter but last i checked there only rolling out 2 casses for the time being and on alot of the phones with only 2 cases they are the defender and commuter so im worried i might have to go commuter and just be careful... my buddy has the defender on his 3gs and no doubt it is amazing (dropped it about 16ft without a scratch) and there not toooo huge but after less than a year the outter rubber has gotten fadded and stretched/loose and slides around on the outside and the built in screen protector is so scratched and hazed its impossible to see through it clearly so he might cut it out... i dont want to deal with that and being just as rough on my phone as him ill be in the same boat for sure.

Trident Cyclops Case

Does anyone have any experience with this case? It looks nice.

hhmm looks interesting

Yeah it does... I think I am about to buy one...

Well, I just bought it. If anybody wants, I can post pics or do a review when I get it... Just let me know..

alright ! sounds good man, i was waiting for the otterbox but i might have to give this a try first lol
make a mini review when you do get it
thanks!

Will do. Should be in by Friday-Monday it says.

It was the only positive thing about my Vibrant. I have a very disappointing Seidio case on my MT4G that was waiting on an Otterbox but will soon be covered in a Trident.

heres an video on the cyclops case
looks nice

Okay, this is definitely the best case I've ever had (Other MT4G cases I've had are: silicone, black rubberized hard case, and clear hard case). It does add some bulk, however. The material is very high quality and sturdy. There is NO creaking or anything like that. The video right above pretty much shows you everything about it, so I won't go into those details because it is much more effective to actually see it. If I can get a picture of my phone next to another MT4G without a case, I will post that. While it does add some thickness, you can't get true protection like this without a little thickness. Overall, it is a very high quality case, and I am happy with it. If you have any questions, just ask, and I will answer them for you.

Does this case like to collect dust that's all I need to know before I order it

Ordered on ePay from the Oregon seller. It arrived at my doorstep here in the SE in 2 days. Nice case - the design is well thought out and most of all, IT FITS! I kept the Realook and it took a minute or two to install. Looking through their current product offering, I see holsters and I am hopeful one will follow soon for this case.

I've have had it in my pocket for a few hours and no dust so far.

Ok thanks ordering now can't afford to have my screen crack again even order zagg skin so I wouldn't scratch the back of the phone.

How hard is the case to take off? I was planning on charging batteries via external charger.
- Frank

I think the case is sold out for now.
Also, the case is not hard to take off at all. I did it yesterday while I was driving a manual car in traffic on the highway. Lol...
And one side note, I do notice that the outer silicone case around the edges of the phone does attract some lint after being in a linty pocket, but I love the case overall.

Just got my yellow and black one its awesome I order mines directly from the site http://www.tridenteer.com/categories/HTC-myTouch-4G/Cyclops-Series-by-Trident-Case/

too bad it doesn't come with the kickstand. I'll stick with the one i got from tmobile now. The kickstand is absolutely invaluable.

Oh hell... I just watch the video. Nice. The deal maker for me was finally finding a quality screen protector that covers the entire front side. I also like the fact that the hard case is easy to take off.
Buying this now. Amazon Prime....
Edit: Screw Amazon on this one. "Takes two to three weeks to ship" - yet they have it on Prime. Will just buy directly from the makers.

Does the screen protector effect the proximity sensor? I've had the proximity sensor lock up the phone from being able to hang up on some screen protectors.

It hasn't affected it for me in about 2 weeks of use.

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

I agree I too like the HC version

I would like to see a case like this with extended battery room.
EDIT: Never mind I didn't look long enough before I posted.

[Q] Which case should I get?

I just got a brand new MT4G and I want to keep it clean... I can't decide between these two cases:

So after reading a few reviews and watching some youtube vids, I went with the TPU Fusion. But I bought it off ambitronic instead of Amazon since it was $5 cheaper there.
Thanks guys.

You should love it. I know I am not sad, I don't need a whole bunch of added bulk or protection just enough.
Sent from my Generation X using xda premium

yeah off of ambitronic + a screen protector didn't cost me much. only thing is that some microusb chargers won't fit completely or fit but are easy to dislodge, the original one fit fine for me but it wasn't really a dealbreaker for me since it doesn't bother me

I have a otter box case and I have to say I work on cars for a livin and its been dropped millions of times screen is still like New and the phone works fine. It's not a huge case its pretty slim its also had a full can of pop dumped on it to wit no damage done to the phone but that's just what I know about my case

I hate those gel/rubber cases because they make it so hard to get the phone in and out of your pocket. Just yesterday I reviewed Zagg's full body shield for the myTouch and I love it. It gave me great protection on my iPod Touch and now it's protecting my phone very well. It's not visible at all from a few feet away and it doesn't add any extra bulk to the phone. I highly recommend it.

I have gone through 2 sets of best skins ever, which are similar to zagg. I loved it too, only problem is it starts peeling up on the corners after a couple months. Ordered the credit card holding case this time around.

Forgot about this thread, I am loving this TPU fusion case! So for those of you who are considering it, I would highly recommend it. Very sleek, not bulky at all, very easy to take off, excellent grip, etc.

I have a T Mobile branded case that works really well.
It has a thin silicone skin and then a shell that goes on top of the skin and phone.
It is a bit bulkier now, but I've dropped my phone a number of times and I'm glad I had it on.

Both cases look pretty nifty, but I have the Otterbox Commuter case and it's simply amazing. You can find it here.

I've had the fusion for several months and it's still like new. Also no problems with being too grippy in my pocket.

I have both. I enjoy the look of the 2nd case, but the grips on the side are rough, so I don't like how it felt on my hands.
I'm currently using the first case because it's much smoother, and still gives a good grip. I don't really care for the argyle pattern.
They're both slim and gives about the same amount of protection.

I think the best case protection wise is the Trident case.. but it's kinda bulky pocket wise.. other than that best case hands down.

Thanks for the case suggestions guys

I've gone thru 2 tpu fusion cases and as good as they are I've recently turned to the MT4G commuter otterbox case and Ive got to say its pretty good.
I hate cases that make the phone bulky and I always thought the otterbox would, but its by far my favorite case now.

Otterbox for One

Otterbox announced cases for the One.
And here are they:
http://www.otterbox.com/htc-one-cases/htc-one-cases,default,sc.html
Definitely getting one for my One when i get mine. I hope they release more colors before the launch though.
Have had good experiences from Otterbox cases since my HTC Touch HD and HD2, still going strong, and saved my immortal HD2 many times.
Haven't tried other companies yet since Otterbox hasn't failed to protect any of my devices.

Good find. :good:
I think the One is going to benefit from some protection with its slick metal body. :victory:

Sweet! If I wind up getting the HTC One, which is very likely, I will most definitely purchase a Defender case for it.
Hopefully Otterbox has fixed the problems that the Galaxy S III Defender case had for the One.

I'll probably get the commuter case for mine. I had the defender on the HTC Evo LTE and the build quality of the belt clip was terrible. The clip that held the phone in the holster kept breaking off, I had it replaced twice and each of the replacements broke. It also happened to 3 other people that I know. I wish they would be like Seido and put a hinge in the clip. I might just get a TPU case for daily use, and an otter box for situations that call for it.

I've not used a case for my phone in the past 6 months, I just make sure my pockets are clear of shrapnel so nothing gets scratched.
Although with the HTC One it does look very scratchable. Think I may have to find a minimalist one closer to the time.

good news, we want more styles

Nice. Maybe i buy the HTC ONE

Just ordered white model of One and probably going with otterbox commuter. Defender would be nice too but its too bulky for day to day use.

it is a cut out on this and all others i've seen

I'm thinking of either the CruzerLite, the double dip case, or the Defender from Otterbox.
Then there's the chance a company like Trident will make a case. I usually like their cases.

I like the Commuter case in glacier. That one looks very nice.

Looks like on the Commuter case, the power button is not covered; just a blank hole so no need to worry.

I really do like the Commuter glacier case, but I find I never drop my phone until I put a case on it.. I guess I tend to let my guard down when I falsely believe my case will protect my phone.. That is after all how I got my One X+, dropped my Inspire and watched as the screen shattered on cement. Thankfully though my otterbox case survived the ordeal perfectly fine while also protecting the back of the device...

I just got an email saying they are available now.. Haven't got my phone yet..

Here is a video of the green Otterbox Commuter Series

Wow, this case is much better than I was expecting.

...And very very big, isn't it ? Know that It's important to protect this jewell, but...we paid a lot to finally hide it...

Guys which do you prefer? Defender or commuter case for the HTC One?
I like how the defender case cover's the front portion of the device but I am having doubts about how it is made for HTC One because of the 2 big speakers(top & bottom), front camera & the sensors.

Looking good, I'll be taking the Commuter one (only because he's the lightest one ). I have this case on my SGSII and he is good.
