Considering the design and weight of the Thunderbolt what type of case would you get?
I have both but I prefer the two piece because it ads less to the phone.

I have the shell/holster combo from Verizon. I've never used the holster, but I love the shell. It's thin and protects the phone well enough.
very happy with it. go check it out!
One piece tpu case all the way. Cheap, adds hardly any bulk, and is not to be confused with silicone

The Best Buy (Seidio) 2 piece case is great. I normally don't use a holster, but I love it now.
I've got the best buy 3 piece case and I really like it. But now my extended battery is worthless.

harder "crystal" silicone case
I bought the rubber / hard 2pc case from vzw and hated it so i returned it for the crystal silicone case. at first i didnt not like it because the buttons were a pain so i took a razor hobby knife and cut em out and it works perfectly!

I have the shell/holster combo as well and love it. It provides just enough protection to the back of the phone without a lot of bulk. I have a screen protector for the screen. I prefer a holster and case combo. I like seidio, but I personally didnt like how the two pieces met on the innocase I had for my EVO.

2 piece cases suck unless it's a slider like the seidio. Drop your phone with one of the snap ones and I bet it snaps off and your phone still goes sliding across the floor.

I agree I like two piece one

I'm using a two piece hard rubber case I got off of Amazon. Good enough for my needs.
I have the Red and Black one from Verizon... It is a solid soft case that is pretty thin and then adds another layer of hard plastic over that if you want it. I really like it.
Naked ftw sometimes if I'm going out (like hiking) ill bring my cases

Finally I got it, I tested it and I reviewed it
A very solid case, I like the feel..there are a little things that I will change tho. Specially with ballistic, beyond cell, etc coming in with new products to compete
Enjoy!

The Commuter case is better IMHO.

I like the commuter case better too. And it fits in to the Siedo surface holster well.
how is the defender thicker than the commuter case?by how many mm? mind telling?
thanks
The defender case is not a good case. At least that has been my experience. Loved it on my Evo 3D as it kept it very safe and secure, on the Galaxy Nexus it has caused damage.

Sorry to kind of hijack this thread but after using the defender for over six weeks, this is my conclusion.

I picked up a Defender because I didn't want to leave this phone totally unprotected. The case fits snugly and looks like it will give solid protection..however ( there's always a but I don't care for the screen protector, it makes text a bit blurry, the Defender also makes the phone rather bulky.
I'll use this case during the work week but will be looking for something slimmer & more elegant for weekends & special events.

i totally agree, I ended up removing the built in defender screen protector with goo gone and applied my own screen protector to the surface glass.
Much better now

I am using the otterbox commuter case with the seidio active holster... works great.
I just bought a defender, and am loving it, just a! Question. On the otter box site, some have said it fits with the Samsung extended battery. Can anyone confirm this? It does seem to have a little play with the OEM battery so I'm hoping it will.

That sucks that the member above had such a bad experience with this case. I have to think that somehow that particular case was defective. My Nexus doesn't move around one bit, even with the standard size battery. No movement at all. I also show no signs of wear whatsoever around the earpiece and ff camera. I've used this case almost exclusively since December 23rd.

I used the Defender series with my Galaxy Nexus with extended battery and it fits. Although, I too thought about removing the screen protector. It seems to take away from the screen vibrancy. I never liked or used screen protectors and dont like it on my case.

Hi guys,
I made an epic failing attempt to buy the flip case online. It was meant for the AT&T's version. So, i decided to file the back to make it fit, unfortunately, it doesn't hold very tightly once I do that. So there goes 20$. So, confirmed. The flip case for AT&T is different!
Without any luck, I resorted to buying a crappy one on Amazon.
Still, deep down I feel like the flip case is the right one for me, because I prefer a stock-like device, all from Sammy. Any of you guys would like to tell me a place to buy the original flip case, that would work with the international version?
Please! Let me know.

I have this case and it seems to work pretty good.

That is a hot looking case, with a good 9.99 tag!
I also saw a few, like the SGP leather cases. Love the look of it. My g-note is all naked right now except for screen protector...
After having the case a couple days I really like it, one of the corners is a lttle loose but the phone is held snug.
I like the way it holds when closed instead of a magnet or button it hooks around the side of the phone and holds good.

If you want the official N7000 flip case, try looking on Amazon or eBay. That's where I got mine.

Well Jayrod1980
Well I did not buy the BodyGlove with the idea of maximum protection from drops
I think I was drawn into purchasing the BodyGlove case for
Overall finish, materials used to construct the case which provides a one of a kind look and feel with in my situation out weighs overall protection.
I realize if I want to protect my device from random drops I would of purchased an Outterbox Defender or Commuter
Thanks
I'm contemplating getting one of these cases and was wondering if any of you guys had them and what you thought of them so I can get a good idea of which one to order. Thanks

I've had both (Although I had the Commuter for my old LG Optimus One) and I currently have the Seidio Active (Without the kickstand) and the Seidio Active is much much better. The silicone and plastic is much higher quality and it doesn't lose it's shape like most Otterboxes too. The only upside with buying the Otterbox is that is comes with a screen protector (A pretty crappy one anyway) and that's about it. The Seidio case is much better.

By the way does the case get a lot of lint on it and does it get stuck inside pockets and such that's my main concern lol
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
The Seidio case picks up a little bit of lint, a LOT less than the Otterboxes do. Half the time for me it doesn't pick lint up but when it does it's barely noticeable and wipes off really easily. Can't same the same about the Otterbox though, I had a hell of a time with lint problems when I had one for my old phone.

Do yourself a favor and also check out the Trident Kraken(Excellent Video Review Here). It has an awesome kickstand, tons of accessories that can be bought(11 bucks for a windshield mount? DONE!) and you can take it out of the poly-carb box and use just the silicon sleeve when you don't need it. Plus from everything I read online, Trident offers far superior protection than SEIDO or Otterbox. And the rotatable belt clip is way better than a holster, to me anyway. Give it a look, love mine!
Also if you want slightly less protection(and thickness) consider the Trident Aegis.
Quit hatin' on the Commuter!

Of course the Trident Kraken offers superior protection when compared to the Seidio Active and Otterbox Commuter but it also adds a lot more bulk to your phone. (If you're ok with that, then go for the Kraken! It is the most protective case out of the three!).
And I wasn't hating on the Commuter, I was just stating what I had encountered when I had one with my old phone.
I decided to go with the Seidio Active case with the kickstand. It should arrive tomorrow so I'll update you guys on how it is.

Got the Seidio case in the mail today I love it but the only thing is that it doesn't have any opening for the 3 pin thing on the right side of the phone. I don't know if the Otterbox Commuter has an opening for it.

Commuter doesn't have an opening for the pogo pins either. Very few have them open and the only ones I own that have such an opening are some tpu cases I have.

Yeah I don't plan to use them anyways but so far this case is very good but we'll see how it survives a fall which hopefully never happens
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Kraken does not have them either, nor does any high-protection case I have seen.
Would have to say the seidio active is my choice. After i tested it the hard way, due to me being sleep deprived. I was working inside my car engine bay and take off the phone due to getting in the way at times. I just so happened to forget it was in their and then started to drive away to get a drink. I finally realized what happen then went searching for it the case was scratch to heck, but the phone was safe
^ Mother of Buddha :-\
I have what I'm told is a Commuter for sale.. $20 shipped 405-259-2797
I like the little groove on my case from where the kickstand is too makes it feel nice when you hold the phone.
