Moto Droid X Otterbox

Hey all,
I know the case isnt out yet, but how long does it usually take them to release it after the phone has been released?

I could have sworn i saw somewhere that we should expect to see it by the end of august.

When you consider there is still not an otterbox for the Incredible or Desire that have been out much longer do not expect one anytime soon.

Usually about a year after the phones debut

Usually a year but seidio already has a case out and extended battery. I personally like seidio over otter box.
And yes I know its not 360 protection like otter.

I dunno. The iPhone 4's case is already out, and that phone is not even close to a year old. I guess it just depends on the popularity of that particular device. Hopefully it's released soon because I work in the oil industry, and my phone is likely to see accidental abuse (if it ever ships)!

They also have cases for the Incredible, which has not been out very long.

This is the one place when talking about how many handsets of a single phone can come into play and mean something. Since the iPhone sells so many handsets they have a built in market for the product where for android our market is spread across many handsets. So if you were making a case it only makes sense to make it first and right away for the one that sells so many instead of 20 differnet ones.

One of their reps told me their "average" time to market was 2 months after release.

They are trying to get better about dates but 2 months is garbage. They still do not have a case for the Incredible, Desire or EVO all have been out over 2 months and the first two have been out 4 months.

Finally just bought regular case and a zag screen protector. Not waiting around anymore.

I don't understand how people can take such a slim and sexy phone... and then bulk it up with one of these gigantic cases...

Consider how many iPhones per day are sold versus how many Droid X devices. It's really in Otterbox's best interest to cater to the iPhone first and foremost.

The bigger, the better.

The case I have on my X atm is actually pretty slim and has saved it from being mangled twice already. Even with the case it is still just as slim as my Samsung Eternity is (my AT&T phone).

i was just on the otterbox website and they have cases available for the droid x! idk if anyone has notice that yet lol

Galaxy SII Drop Test

So Squaretrade (I think?) did a drop test with the iPhone 4s vs Galaxy SII (not our version but they are similar in build I would assume). Be warned, it hurts to see our phone fall but it fared VERY well compared to the iPhone 4s.
http://allthingsd.com/20111017/samsungs-galaxy-sii-beats-the-iphone-4s-at-least-when-you-drop-them/

In your face Apple...........of course not very scientific. But I don't like Apple products anyways.

You know that your vaping signature banner is setting off google chrome warnings? It doesn't want to let anyone access the page because apparently that site is known for distributing malware.

I did my own drop test yesterday. 2 ft right onto the upper left corner.
No issues other than a scuff mark!
Where the hell is my case I ordered?

i saw this vid a couple days ago. The test with the ipad, zoom, galaxy Tab was pretty cool too. These things are way too fragile.
I am happy to see that Samsung products had the best results. Take that iphoney

Thats cool the screen stood up to the test. The bezel can't pass my pocket test, there's already some substantial dings on mine and I baby my stuff. Way more prone to stuff like this than the Sensation was. Definitely get a case if you're questioning it........

I like to think of it this way: IPhones are more for young children, old people and those who are not technically inclined (and have no interest in being so)... Or for people who don't care about being able to customize or tweak it much on the software level, they just want it "to work".

That was painful to watch, even as much as I hate iPhones >.<
Iphones remind me of those brightly colored toy laptops from Toys R Us. Kids see mommy & daddy with their laptops & they want one too, but they can't quite handle a real computer so they just get a toy that makes them feel important

Why does everyone feel they need to compare to apple. It keeps proving they make better products and we are all chasing to be like them. Don't give apple the credit.

Just to be on the record, I saw this as more of an interest in seeing what happens when our phone drops to the ground. I honestly don't care much about what happens to an iPhone, as I don't own one. I know other posters are bashing apple which is fine with me (I could care less), but I took some useful information out of this and have much less worry using this phone day to day with or without a case now with the knowledge that it can take a beating and still come out fighting strong.

Silver Speaker MOD Proof! Your Welcome! Happy New Year

Alright for everyone that wondered and to prove I'm a man of my word plus I cant develop too well I thought I'd give back to the community so here it is and enjoy!
Steps: just scratch the hell outta your speaker. I used an old hinting knife. No I don't hunt I live in the suburbs of DC.
Credit to xSaint who has a thread here so I knew about this.
Well that's it I hope I have given something to the community that I can be recognized for haha jk but it does look pretty bad ass! Will put my pics up in a minute my I didn't know i couldn't upload them from my phone.
EDIT: see third post for pics! and thanks to the devs for all your hard work in making these phones worth keeping forever!

YeH. We did this on the mesmerize GS and it did look pretty cool. It gives a little contrast to the upper part of the phone.

well couldn't get it in original so i just made another post with the pics

OMG your poor phone. Maybe a using a razor would have made it come out looking clean? You can. Always take black nail polis and make it black again. Or hobby model paint...
And you DEFINATELY gave something back to the XDA community to remember you buy. Its ok man. I slaughtered my HTC Evo 4g also. We all make mistakes. Ill take a picture and upload it to take the heat off you

Just so the op isn't alone.
A self-portrait, so not even good quality.
I may take some silver polish to it later.

Here is my Evo 4g that i took a razor blade to the corners and scratched all the black off so the red undercoating was visible. Oh i didnt have any place to take the photo in my room so i just took it on my girlfriend who was too busy watching senior citizen flash mod you tube video's on her GSII to even notice lol

Well if you guys live around northern va shoot me a PM. I'm a tech for sprint so I can change the housing or anything on your phone if need it. I guess a lot of people got offended by my post of this but I'm glad there's still people out there that aren't all about bashing. Opinions opinions

Well i personally think its awesome you did it. Like i said i went for the leap my self and razored my evo. From about 5ft away it looks awesome, but up close you could see it was not lookin so hot. What i was trying to say about the paint is you can go around the edges with the nail pollish or hobby paint and tiuch it up EVER so slightly and it would take out the MINOR defects. Idk back in the day mt dad did model cars and stuff. Seems like kids and younge adults these days dont physically mod things so much. I love doing so though. You only live once right? Besides we alk get the latest and greatest phones to start fresh with every year or 2. Cruckus man, i may just bust out my shinny new razor soon and give it a shot. The idea is sweet brother

Yea i thought it was cool I saw someone ask for someone to do it so I said "what the hey I'll do it" I was bored but I don't think it looks that bad it looks better then the cracked screens that some people have!

Not to be rude, but is this really your definition of an "awesome look"?:
I mean, this looks like something a kid would do to his phone when he was bored in d-hall or something.
If someone did THAT to my phone, we would definitely be "going outside" to settle things, know what I mean?
It's kinda awful.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

Doesn't look as bad when done carefully and neat ... but i see your point
To each his own I guess ... I like the way it did mine .. not a scratch anywhere on the glass took me an hour with a razor blade and some scotch tape

I think it looks pretty cool from far away when using my phone normally it doesn't look bad its when you get real close but who stares into an earpiece? It's like people who buy ripped jeans some think its dumb others think it looks cool. I also said I did it with an old hunting knife because I don't have a razor blade. I'm sure someone can do it better then me.

Just a note, its surrounded by Gorilla Glass, so unless you're really wrenching on the blade this isn't too intensive of a project.

Nuff said.
So it looks good to everyone else, but looks like crap to the owner of the phone?

Customization

We'll never get anything like this.
Our SPECIFIC phone isn't cost effective for any company to do it.
The only phone that is similar to ours in size is the T989D, and we simply don't have enough market share. Heck, we barely have regular cases as it is.. kind of glad we at least have something from trident. Otherwise it would be all OEM/china type of cases.

That's the only reason why I'm jealous of iPhone users...I'd be switching cases ER DAY

Their customization really is impressive but I still like my SII just the way it is

You want to customize try Skingardz on ebay. Really nice designs with wallpaper to match.

Phone Case Insanity

While digging around for alternative cases, I found this.
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Hig..._1&btsid=7388d3f7-829e-42da-82bd-481c0f1f3189
This is the absolute strangest case I've ever seen. I'll post a picture when I get it.

LOL is that a buzzards?
Sent from my SM-N910T using Tapatalk

it's snakehead. From the pictures it looks like a real snake skin that they left the head on and is plopped in the middle of the back. I'm hoping it's big enough to use as a stand. I was on the fence about ordering one, but damn, this is just bat s__t crazy.

Wtf

Well they probably ate the meat

These have been available for a good few years, if you have interest in these, do check if they are genuine snake or fake, If they are real snakes do check with customs and cites, it's illegal to import these without a permit and approval certificate from cites.
And since the shops does not have approval for these, it's unlikely you can get approval from cites.

Did you receive the case?

Thank you so much for the photos. Even the Chinese guys at work who were reading the text, were saying no one would think to leave the head on the case. That's just freakin' insane. I've seen somethings, but can you IMAGINE the looks you'd get using that thing on the subway.

How does it keep from getting crushed in your pocket?
