I just emailed Otterbox to see if they had on their schedule to release a case for the HTC Evo and they just said they were making the Defender and the Commuter for the Evo! Yes! Excitement! I for one am a big fan of Otterbox cases, they will kick Seidio to another dimension! xD

Yes I know the quality of these things and this is the cover we all NEED.
Re: Otterbox for Evo
Keep checking them out on facebook, and liking posts about the evo, the more interest they see the faster they will push one out.

I wanted an otterbox, but they delayed too long and I picked up another case...
That's funny, because I emailed them last weekend and they said they had no plans. Additionally, they've responded to a few Evo related Facebook posts with
"We're looking into options for the EVO but at this time I do not have any details."
So, really, it doesn't seem like they will have anything soon.
They're a pretty popular company where I live, as they're based here. Definitely hoping they eventually make something, but at this point, I'm not holding my breath.
I emailed them too, and they said that they did not know about making cases for the EVO, and that if they did that I should check their website for updates.
Re: Otterbox for Evo
It's nice they have already announced one for iphone 4... Thanks otterbox...

Update for Case #130877 - "Sprint Evo 4G"
We do not have any information if we will be making a case for that device at this time, but it is something that has been requested a lot. It is best to keep an eye on our website, as it will have the most up to date information on our products and new cases.
Thank you,

How soon is the case for Sprint's HTC Evo 4G coming out?
Suck on that.

I think they lost a lot of business by "waiting" to see the popularity of the EVO, instead of having a case ready by launch. Just my opinion of course.

I've used the Defender and the Impact. The Impact is a lighter case made of silicone; designed to prevent scratches and lessen impact of drops. Worked really well on my Hero. The Defender is much tougher and a hard case. Think of the difference between them being The Impact as one of those thigh pads that basketball players wear (soft but extra padding) and the Defender as shoulder pads that football players wear (rock hard and tougher to crack).
The Commuter is a mix of the two, silicon edges to be lighter but still some solid material on the back.

Dude I REALLY like your signature but it makes every page you comment lag like hell.
Cyber Monday only they are offering 40% off Ballistic Cases. However, the EVO is not available for pre-order at this fantastic price.
If you have any love for the Evo or Ballistic, please go to their Facebook page or email them and ask for the same discount for the EVO!!!

Just fired off a rather douche-y email to [email protected]
I feel that the release of the case was intentionally delayed until this day passed. Basically, if I don't get the EVO case for 40% off because I'm certain this is intentional, I'll be sticking with my Seidio Rugged.

I think I may stick with my Trident Cyclops until I can get a decent discount.
I have been waiting for this case for a while now!! I have been in constant contact with Ballistic about the release date and so forth through phone and email. After they posted the new pics of the redesigned back, and delayed the release even further...I went out and bought the Seidio Innocase Rugged with Holster and LOVE it!! Was considering the Otterbox Defender as I love the Impact and Commuter but the Defender got horrible reviews....
SO, with 40%, I will probably jump back on board. At $50....I'll stick with my RUGGED and like it!! The Seidio Rugged seriously is an AWESOME case, and having the Innocase too is nice. I bought it just for work, the evenings and weekends I let the Evo run around naked. Though I have found myself taking off the exoskeleton and silicone case and leaving on the Innocase in the evenings...its pretty nice!

I have to disagree on the Seidio case. I thought it was great when I first got it, but after just a couple weeks the port covers were tearing back into the case and I had to cut them off to stop the tearing. Then one day when I went to take the skeleton off, a piece of it just snapped off in my hand. The camera cover wouldn't stay pinned back anymore, so I had to cut that off too. Finally, the holster is a really poor design. The lock gets unlocked too easily and then the phone can just fall out. It should be made so you push down to lock it and pull up to unlock.

That sucks!! Hope that doesnt happen to mine. Mine is actually the Best Buy Platinum brand version. Which appears to be slightly different than the ones branded Seidio. I think they took the flaws from the Seidio branded cases and fixed it on the Platinum branded cases, or so I heard (really looks that way too). For those who dont know, the Platinum brand that Best Buys sells is just Seidio product with a different brand name stamped on it (it even says Seidio on the bottom of all of the packages :-D )
I bought my Seidio Rugged from Amazon..not a port cover has torn or a piece of the skeleton broke off in my hand.
I read this in all the reviews..and all I could do was facepalm and make the purchase KNOWING that these behemoths' were just trying to rip the case off rather than "REMOVE" it. A little finesse goes a long way.
I won't replace my Rugged, just like I never replaced my Seidio case for my G1 way back. I will cheat on my rugged for 40% off that sexy looking ballistic though..even though at full price it's ugly.

Mine lasted since the release date until I broke the skeleton a couple weeks ago. No problems with anything else. The rubber on the replacement they sent is quite a bit heavier and the exoskeleton a slightly different design. I told them it would be nice if just the skeletons were available to buy separately in the Seido store and they said they'd pass that on to sales. If you guys have any problems tell them the same. Oh yeah and colors would be nice too.
^^I agree!! I think they have updated their design and product.
Colors would be nice too!! I like the Pearl White ActiveCase Limited Edition that they have on Amazon. White and black is just a sexy combo on the Evo...

Actually, I wasnt "ripping" it off. I just used my fingernail to pull back the corner and release it and it just fell off in my hand. However, I still use it every day and it still does a good job of protecting my EVO. I would just expect more from a case that costs $50 and claims to be "rugged". I preordered mine, so it was one of the first batch. Maybe the newer ones really are better.
Discount or not, I do plan on getting the red Ballistic case when they are available.

Yeah, I don't understand why he's talking about finesse with a "Rugged" case. Anyhow, my wife and I are both careful with our phones and don't rip the case off. And it chipped off on both of our phones.

search for ballistic tmobile t989 and use the exact keywords and you will see 2 listings. i think i will buy it tomorrow hopefully
i have the telus galaxy s2 which is exactly as the tmobile one

i tried 23 and 24 first but got declined lol
funny you got a different answer from otter box they old me they were only going to do AT&T case not the sprint and Tmo because of different form factor

Hope they have the blue Aegis cases. Man these are some sharp good protection cases!!!
Anyone else nervous about dropping their phone before they get something tuff enuf to protect it?? I am!! Seems like it's gonna take forever to find some in stock somewhere. Wish they made the commuter with a holster. Anyone got any other ideas that protect as well as the OB defender that has holster and looks nice 2??

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.

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.

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.

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!

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:
Hello Danny,
Thank you for contacting Seidioonline.com. We do have plans to release cases for the Nexus 5; however, we do not have an ETA for those products at this time. We apologize for the inconvenience. If you would like to stay informed on future product releases for this device, we suggest periodically checking our online store, or you may sign up for email notifications here: http://www.seidioonline.com/Articles.asp?ID=303.
