You read that right. The Otterbox Commuter series case has been announced for the Galaxy s2. http://www.otterbox.com/Samsung-Gal...es-Case/SAM4-I9100-20-E4OTR_A,default,pd.html
OTTERBOX RELEASED! ORDER NOW
Just placed my order at otterbox.com
Found two coupons that I applied:
amcc0411v : 10% Off (-$3.50)
tb0411u : Free Shipping (U.S. orders only) (-$3.80)
My total was : $31.45
Hit thanks if you used it!
sweet, nice case
I'd buy this!
Anyone thinking of "case mate tough" as well?
I'll probably pick one up to replace my case mate. The bottom and top edges on the case mate annoy me.

same here. but I think the commuter also has this behavior (based on my acquaintance with the defender and commuter line from my iP4 and SGS)
Excellent! Thx for letting us know, OP. I'll be getting this case as well.
Yea, I was about to pull the trigger on getting the case-mate. But you cant compare that quality to Otterbox. They are the best.
c'mon release fast!!
I've actually spoken with Customer Service and a product manager over at Otterbox. They said they know for sure it will release this summer. They also said that normally after a product hits their site, they see a 4-6 week delay until the product is actually sold to the public. I remember back when the iPhone 4 cases were to be releases, it was about a 6 week or so delay. They just want to make sure they have enough stock for the first wave and that they don't run out and cause big back orders as it will be hard to catch up. Most importantly, they have other cases to supply as well and I am pretty sure they order from one or two factories in china as all of the cases are shipped from there. So they can only make some many cases at a time. Please be patient... I know that I myself cannot wait. Dont get a case-mate. It wont compare to otterbox.
are otterbox cases generally easy to remove?
Yes, no problem getting them on and off. My other half has a commuter on her Blackberry and I had a defender for mine a few years back

The way I see it is that their defender series cases are a bit of a pain to put on and remove but for commuter series, once you understand that they wont break it takes seconds to remove and if it ever cracks even due to a drop, otterbox will replace them for free which is why they rock

any eta as to when these would be out.
The websites quote of pre-ordering, I guess none of them have it as of now.

Interested to know what these are like as people seem to think they are great... Looking forward to some pics and views from the first owner on here...
My top choice at the moment is the Neo Hybrid, but still have a few weeks until I get my SGS2 so time to be convinced otherwise...

Neo Hybrid and otter box cases are two different beasts entirely.
Neo Hybrid is mainly for looks and very minor protection, overall build quality is very light and not very sturdy. The Otterbox cases are designed to be rugged and able to easily take drops and bums with no damage what so ever.
Using Neo Hybrid myself and yes I think it looks great but offers very little protection and quite worried if I actually dropped it that both case and phone would have a good chance of breaking.

I thought the same thing when I purchased my trident case, now 2 weeks later I am wishing I held out for an otterbox.
I feel like the case does not offer much protection for the amount of bulk it adds considering I had to remove the screen protector in order to be able to use the whole keyboard in portrait mode.
I will be buying an Otterbox when they come out.

Same here. The Trident case would be perfect if the screen protector was better. It scratches easily. I am going to remove the built in protectector and put one of my Realook protectors on.
As far as Otterbox...I'm disappointed that they waited so long to do this. Most of us have had the Vibrant since this summer. I have a Case-Mate & Trident. Now I'm wondering if I even need the otterbox (even though it DOES look sweet!).

Yea, I mean ... it's not a big deal that it has a small little hole for the FFC.
Also, if you look at the case for the Galaxy S and Vibrant, they look identical. Maybe because since it's not available yet they just used the same picture of the case to give us an idea of what it'll look like .

It looks as tho it may just be a separate screen protector they are talking about. Because in the pics they show of it , it doesn't appear to have on attached to the case itself
This is exactly what I need!..seeing as how I just dropped mine and cracked the screen :-(

Just purchased..will submit a review when it gets here some time next year...im currently using the body glove case...nice case..but i have dropped it twice and the whole thing fell apart, damaging the phone..whats the point of a case if it cant take damage? i wouldve much rather spend the 30 bux on something like this otterbox if it was available at the time..Cheers all!
This is fantastic been waiting months for this, cant wait to order mine!

Took less than 10 seconds to open a new tab, type "otterbox" into siad new tab's address bar, hit ctrl+enter, then select Samsung, and then Vibrant from their dropdown menu and view the item of your desire. I would have posted the link, but since this is only my 3rd post I am not allowed to. Have fun storming the castle!
I saw some decent kickstand cases for the SGS2 with AT&T, but I have not been able to find any yet with the TMO version. Please let me know if you find any out there specially made for the TMO SGS2!
I'm having major kickstand withdrawals since upgrading from my EVO 4G.
Oh and I'm looking for a landscape kickstand, not the portrait kickstand found on the Body Glove case in the TMO stores.
Same here, would love some kickstand

Thank you for the pictures. Can you post one of the front of the case? I want to see how much of the bezel it covers and if it gets close to the edges of the screen.
The only thing i dont like about it is that the top and bottom arent covered.
The inside has a felt material to protect the phone from the case.

I tried it on my phone and it felt incredibly cheap, tacky color/design, and lack of real protection. If it fits your needs then awesome. For me I am kinda rough on things and like protection all around. I can appreciate the usefulness of a kickstand.
I also would like a little more protection. It seems like most of the kickstand cases are hard plastic, but I at least want a gel/silicone insert something like the otterbox commuter often has.
Hopefully they start actually releasing some good cases for this phone soon.

Oh, the black and white ones don't look too bad at all. Price is a little high, but this is very close to what I'm looking for. I really like the grippy edges. I'm hoping that a case will make my power and volume buttons a bit harder to push on accident (which I am constantly doing).
I like the case mate one also and I found it on sale:

That is a good deal alright, but that case isn't for the T-Mobile version. Those are still listed as 'coming soon' on the Case Mate site.
lol...that i didn't know..guess can't get it for cheap yet.
Casemate is still taking forever to get their T-Mobile cases out, even after some rumors that they were coming a couple weeks ago. http://www.case-mate.com/pulse/samsung-carriers.asp . Looks like if it does come out, they will be asking $35.00 (same as Sprint and International price).
Trident said they were going to do their Kraken kickstand case for the TMO SGS2, but then when it came time to ship cases, they ended up only shipping the Aegis case (no kickstand) (http://www.tridenteer.com/categories/Samsung-Galaxy-S-II-(T%2dMobile)/ - $29.95).
But it does look like Seidio has finally shipped a kickstand case, http://www.seidioonline.com/t-mobile-samsung-galaxy-s-II-active-case-black-p/csk3ssg2tk-bk.htm . There is a review for the case here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1336684 . Priced at $34.95. There is a 15% off promo code for this case, "Winter11".

I've placed my order for the Sapphire and Amethyst ACTIVE cases from Seidio. There is one review in the linked thread with pictures and then only one other user who made some general comments.
There are no reviews yet on Amazon, but the cases are listed there for the same price (no promo code). Amazon has the black in stock and the others shipping in 2-3 weeks.
I have the Seidio Active, switching from Ballistic. There is a big difference in feeling, mostly due to the Ballistic being so big and harder to press the buttons. I needed something with a belt clip, and I've gone with the Active series for my last 2 phones (HTC Sensation, LG G2x). It's a great combo all in all.

I couldn't keep waiting, so I got the Seidio Active case and I'm quite happy with it.
Hello everyone.
I've been looking at cases and know there are alternatives, but having owned an Otterbox, its the only one I choose to use for a smartphone.
There is no case made at present for the T989 BUT I spoke with a rep today and he was more than happy to add my request to the production database. He said "We make cases for everyother variant so I don't know why we wouldn't make one for this one, but the dimensions are a bit different from the skyrocket so that won't work" etc.
There was absolutly zero wait time to talk to someone, so if you've been wanting an Otterbox case for our T989 I implore you to give Otterbox a call at 855-688-7269 and at the prompt select technical questions and add your suggestion to show that customers are interested and they need to get the ball rolling already for our version!
EDIT: Perhaps this would be better suited in accessories? I dunno.

The SEIDO case is very comparable to the Otterbox commuter series. Went from BB Bold 9780 to the T989 and am happy with the SEIDO.
I have also being waiting for an otterbox case for this device. Otterbox cases saved my previous iphones from several falls and other accidents.
I will have to look into the SEIDO cases. I've never heard of them.

May consider Ballistic or Trident Aegis. I ordered both and end up keeping Ballistic. I felt the extra thick corners on the Ballistic made a better protection if dropped.

Thank you for the response. As per your advice, I took a look at the Seido active case. I can see some places where my Otterbox was superior, namely in integrated plugs for all the connectors AKA ways for water to ingress into the system. See image below!
Moisture ingress is my MAIN concern. I've dropped my Otterboxed blackberry into a locomotive engines oil/coolant pit and it survived no problem.

The Aegis has piqued my interest, thanks!
However, I did notice that the 'dust cover' for the mini-usb whatchamacallit doesn't actually INSERT into the plug like an otterbox's would.. it could do until then.

Yes, definitely.
Thread moved.
I have the sedieo and have dropped it numerous times without a single scratch.
Dropped mine a couple times. I was more worried about having it sitting on my toolbox and dropping a wrench on it but with the seidio active and holster combo my worries are gone.

Like I said, more worried about moisture ingress and the otterbox is just sleeker and doesn't increase the size as much.
i have the ballic case cant even try otterbox cant find the one for t989 dont like how its 2 parts botton rubber moves alot
I highly recommend this case: TPU Rubber Skin Case for T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989, Black S Shape (it is made by EFORCITY and can be found on Newegg... I'm too new here to post links: sorry)
I can safely say that it is BY FAR the best case for its price. The TPU rubber gives it great rigidity over any silicone case, and it doesn't add any additional weight compared to some of the snap-on cases. The profile is really thin, and I really like the grips on the side of the phone. I have dropped my phone several times, once going down a mountain bike trail at 20+mph... my phone shows no scratches or signs of wear... enough said
Trident cases are really good too

Hmm, intruiging. I had an Otterbox case for my Vibrant and I really liked it. Well thought out and it was especially nice to have easily slide in and out of pockets.
Anyway, I thought I might share what I just bought: http://www.ebay.com/itm/For-Samsung...ccessories&hash=item416695ab2f#ht_2241wt_1396 It appears to me to be a bit more of an 'off-brand' (and by that, I mean it is not a 'name-brand' by any stretch of the imagination) but it was a decent price-I paid $6.49 USD.
I do not mean to disrespect your "Otterbox" specific thread, merely throwing out an alternative that others may find useful. Credit due where its due, XDA user Synergery52 has a great little review and very helpful photos here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1647832 (In case anyone hasn't already seen it.)

I admit I am too. In fact, I "plan" on waiting till I can get a defender before getting the phone.
That's the plan, though once I see it in a store I may change my mind and get it then.
I bought a couple of these cases to tide us over until the otterbox cases are available.

Yep, that would be me. Mr. Nervous/Paranoid that i'm going to drop my phone before my Otterbox arrives. They do make a Commuter with a holster, it's called the Defender. As for what other cases look and protect as good as the Otterbox, try this
Incipio Silicrylic Dual Pro
http://www.incipio.com/Samsung-Gala...ualPro-Hard-Shell-Case-with-Silicone-Core.asp
I have been an Otterbox fan since first getting one for my IPT a few years ago, I've only bought Otterbox cases for my devices since but they're taking too long to come out for this phone so I had to go with Incipio and I gotta say, it seems like an equally awesome case.
Black Commuter
The Otterbox site is selling the black Commuter. I snagged one and got a tracking number. I too prefer Defenders. However, Otterbox will not ship Defenders or ANYTHING with color until LATE JULY.
I have Defenders on my Blackberries. I like how the Commuter is less bulky, However, I need a belt clip/holster. Open box; Insert SIM, SD and Battery; Apply screen protector; Install Otterbox. T minus 2 days!
My relationship with Otterbox is starting to deteriorate. It started with the Commuter only for Vibrants and the delay it took to get a Vibrant case out. As a case manufacturer, how do you not have a case ready for a super phone(GS3), that has a released intl model with the same dimensions? It proves my belief that Otterrbox is run by apple fanboys. Betcha they have warehouses full of iPhone5 cases.
I ordered an atomic green and artic white commuter series otterbox from amazon, they shipped and are scheduled to arrive 7/6 (5 days before my phone).

Powerskin has confirmed on their facebook page that they are making a case for the s3
The wait is killing me...
I keep tweeting @otterbox telling them if they don't get their defender cases out soon for the S3 they are going to lose me as a customer and I am sure countless other people sick of waiting for them to get their act together. If you talk to them, they still say they don't even have a ETA date really for release, just broad time frames that they themselves aren't even talking about, it is their distributors that are telling people the time frames of release.
It probably is a bunch of fanboys. They are so involved in getting their precious Armor case out for the iphone 4s they didn't get their act together on this mega-phone that is blowing the iPhone away.
I have the otterbox commuter. It is a very nice, high quality case. Looks awesome too.
Two cons, including the buttons are stiff as hell and it is a PITA to get on and off.
Once it's on though, it's perfect!
I'll be getting a defender ASAP and hoping I don't drop it in the mean time. I'm not normally not a case user though as my MOTO stuff has held up great without.

Look closer. They aren't scheduled to ship until July something. Commuter is on sale now.
My commuter is in the mail should be here tomorrow or the next day. I just saw that Trident has their Aegis out and I may be switching to that soon. I had one for my Note and LOVED it.
Yeah look a little closer to the Amazon ship date. That date was originally 6/22 and they have been pushing it back more and more as the days go by. Truthfully I don't think these suppliers know when Otterbox is going to release the Defender, and talking to Otterbox I don't think they have a clue either.

No holster for Aegis, when the Kraken series comes out for the S3 (should be late july) it will have a holster.
I want to inform you that I just had a little talk with someone from Otterbox.
I asked him if they were planning make a case for the Nexus 5. After disappearing for 10 minutes he just told me that they are not planning on making a case for that device!
Too bad! My colleague has it on his Iphone and my mom on her S4, and I think Otterbox cases are great.
Any recommendation for something similar? I'm pretty rough with my phones :/

Trident cases are better in every way, well known with those who use such cases. Also, I would trust nothing that *someone at Otterbox* told you. Odds are, they were talking out of their ass unless you happen to know someone in the RnD department.

Spigen Slim Armor seems popular. There are eBay cases as well. The Armorbox is getting some attention as well by iBlason. All of these options are much less expensive than an otter.

Is there a Trident for the N5? I didn't see one on their website.

If your lucky Ballistic may make a case, other than that i doubt there will be much of anything that has the double layered bulky thing going on

Very, very true. I once used Otterbox commuter cases (Hero and GS2), but then I discovered the Trident Aegis and it literally is better in every way on the GS2. I even bought more of them for my family members. Trident uses dust filters over the speakers and mic that really help keep debris out of those very important openings on the phone. I did however have a bad experience with a defective (or maybe poorly designed) Kraken case from Trident. It was made of a much cheaper feeling plastic and the power button broke off on the first time I used it. I will give them the benefit of the doubt that the item I got was a lemon. I hope they make an Aegis for the N5, I bet it will be great.

They take time to make theirs, but they did make one for the Galaxy nexus. Given a week or 3 I will bet they will have one. Could always email them and ask.

I don't know about the quality because I've never tried this brand, but it looks comparable to the UAG, otterbox commuter or trident aegis.

My roommate has an iBlason case and they're cheap crap. VERY flimsy silicon and cheap plastic. I wouldn't get one.

Thanks for the heads up, I noticed even the render looks pretty ghetto lol
Damn I was hoping for a case along the lines of the Defender, Armor, or Preserver series from them. =\
I still have my Trident Kraken case for my Galaxy Nexus. The case made the GNex really thick but it had a kickstand and really good protection!
Better this way!

Well there is no way to know that they aren't gonna make an Otterbox for this phone. If the market is there, they will make it. Just because the fella this guy talked to doesn't know about one doesn't mean there isn't one, or won't be one. Just cross your fingers and maybe e-mail them about it!

I concur, I remember times in the past where different reps said different things. And in the end, something completely different happens. You never know. I just with there could be a Lifeproof or Armor
It seems that every time when a new nexus device comes out. There is always a thread similar to this. Otterbox are not very friendly towards nexus devices, there are alternatives out there.
As I always say, don't beg a company to make a case for a particular phone. If they don't make it, go to a competitor of Otterbox and give them your money instead.

I used a SEIDIO case on my Nexus 4 and I liked it, though I would have preferred an Otterbox. The Active case I had is sort of like an inverted Otterbox Defender--silicone on the inside and an outer plastic covering. I liked that it did NOT have a built-in screen protector.
Anyway, I contacted SEIDIO to see if they had anything in the works and it appears they do:

So, options are on the way, at least.

Thanks for this. I have one of those ghetto i_Blason things on order, but a Seidio would be nice too.

I consider it a $10 insurance policy until a real case comes out.
they didn't make one for the nexus 4. i didn't expect one for the 5.
ballistic, however, made one for the n4
