It's great like all Otterbox products Screen cover, Neoprene wrap, and a white [hard] plastic outer body. Only problem is when you flash some experimental shidoodoo and you have to take all of it off to do a battery pull I have otterbox on all my stuff.

i agree, anything otter box makes cases for is amazing. Got one on each iphone I have, and on my wildfire s. as insink71 said, it is a bit of a pain to remove the hard plastic when you need to pull the battery, but other than that.... AWESOME!!!!!
Does this fit the UK version of the wildfire S? I've heard the US and the UK ones have a bit of space difference.
I may just have to get it, I've seen a lot of rave reviews.
Are all outter. Box cases the samefore wildfire s cdma and GSM

AFAIK no, if you have a UK/gsm version get the case mate one instead. I've had one on my fone for a while now, it does the job perfect, I did a bit of a review a while back.
As I understand, the otterbox fits the slightly longer cdma version, this definately fits the UK.

its on sale at radioshack this week, i think i'm gonna go get it and try. I read a review on their site about the case and some guy on there was saying that the "rubber casings edges" touch the edge of his screen of his VM WFS and it was causing the screen it act erratically. Anyone else experience this?
I just got my otter case and love it. The screen protector it comes with is great too. It gives the phone a nice safe solid feel. One thing I noticed though is the white on the case is a lot brighter than the white from the battery cover of my phone, but it doesn't matter side the case covers all of the white on the phone.

It's great, but I've been doing so much flashing that I'm thinking about cutting the rubber part that covers the USB port

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?

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

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.

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.

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.

I've had the otterbox since release. I've put up with the lint issue. If you give the silicon a couple of weeks to build up oils naturally there isn't the slightest lint issue. Love the case now.

Anyone with an otterbox having trouble with the port covers staying in place? I listen to music alot and my flap over the jack constantly comes open

Just an update from the 1st post I placed. I purchased the tpu case and i really really like it. The tpu case is great and it's a bit slimmer on the phone.. it's not anything like one of those gel cases, it's really sturdy and feels great in your hand (no slipping). Only complaint is that the volume and power buttons can sometimes be hard to push. Good to have trackpad wake!

yea mines does that too, its just how it is on the case. On my OG droid otter it never popped out, but for some reason it does for the MT4G.
so how much thickness does the otterbox actually add to phone itself? is it too much or just enough?

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.

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.

Seidio active case is another great option.
Unless you really, really need to have an Otterbox, don't buy the Infuse Otterbox for use with this phone. You'd be supporting a company that explicitly considers our phone to be unworthy of a case. Instead, I would encourage you to support one of the other companies who make cases specifically for our phones.

I really like my Trident. It definitely increases the size of the device, but it feels safe, I've dropped it a few times from decent heights without any noticeable scratches or wear, and just fits in the hand right. Definitely worth the price.

If she'll settle for something like an otterbox, I would suggest getting her one of these- http://www.ebay.com/itm/150738046136?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 I just got one & it's just as solid as any otterbox I've ever seen. Much cheaper too, and it comes in a bunch of color combos.
And I agree about not supporting otterbox too. Why give money to a company that thinks our phones aren't important enough to make cases for(even though they're one of T-Mo's best selling phones)? Jerks. I had an OB for my HD2 & to be honest, it wasn't worth the money. The silicone got all stretched out within a month & the screen protector stuck to my screen & caused oil-slick distortions.
So does anyone make a case with a built in screen protector for our phone?
I have read as many threads as I can find...plus I have done a lot of Googling...and I cannot find a case with a built-in screen protector for our phone. I know some people don't like them, but I am a huge fan of the Otterbox Defender and that is what I am looking for on my phone. I don't feel like I can ever get the individual screen protectors on correctly, and even a teeny tiny piece of lint or bubble makes me crazy...and then the sides start coming up. All of my friends and family have 4 or 4s with Defenders (plus my son has an iTouch4 with a Defender), and the touch sensitivity is great. Does any brand make a case with a built in screen protector for the T-Mobile GS2??
Thank you!
p.s. The guy who has modified the Infuse Defender case is brilliant, great innovation! But I am not up for this. I want one made specifically for this phone w/a built-in screen protector.
