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.

I also got the SEIDIO case with the holster. Being a mechanic I needed something very sturdy. I have used it about 4 months now and am very happy with it.

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've just taken delivery of a case-mate tough case for my One X after having them previously fitted to my Desire and Sensation. They have always fitted really well, felt good and grippy and offered good protection. This one however feels cheap and non grippy and after fighting with it for five minutes I gave in trying to get it to sit right on the phone. It just plain doesn’t fit! So I’ve printed out my return postage label from Amazon and will send it back for a refund. Very disappointing but the question is, what do I replace it with? Has anyone else had a similar experience with the tough case on their One X and are there any other good alternatives out there?
Bump: It can't just be me surely?
Amazing, so it would seem that i'm the only person in the world that thinks the tough case for the One x is rubish compared to previous versions! Either Amazon are selling cheap Chinese fake's or case-mate quality has gone down the pan...
I tried the tough and also the pop yesterday. Tough case was cheap and tacky but the pop was terrible. Once on the phone it is a nightmare to remove and you risk damaging your device. Review of the pop on WWW.mobilemaduk.Co.uk

I have the same case and find it perfect to be honest…. Sure its not a fake? (if they even exist)
Got mine from a hight street store though, Amazon marketplace can have fakes on it.
Its snug fit, takes seconds to take off and put back on. The buttons work well and are covered well. The fit between the rubber and the hard shell is spot in, cant tell its two peices to be honest.

Thanks for the info Steve, i suspected it may have been a fake to be honest.
My previous tough cases fitted really well as you say, this one was really poor.
One question for you, both my previous ones had a date wheel molded in to the silicone and the outer shell, this one didn't. Does yours?
There are a few threads and reviews about casemate tough in the accessories section.
You might want to have a look there.

No date wheel on either… but has CaseMate on the inside of the silicone (bit that touches the phone)

Got a casemate from carphone warehouse when I bought my one x. It was a struggle to fit without breaking the device through pressure. Once it was on I found the buttons almost unusable, they didn't seem to line up correctly with the actual phone buttons. Eventually took it off which also nearly broke my device. Worst. Case. Ever.
Best case I've ever had was an otterbox for my desire hd
TL;DR: Otterbox>Casemate

Thanks for the replies guys, I’d like to try the otterbox but they aren’t available yet in the UK.
Hopefully won't be long.
Just to say, I've got the aforementioned case - it seems to fit my One X cleanly enough.
Mine came from Carphone Warehouse though, not online.
Have you considerd buying the Ballistic SG case? im using it and it just PERFECT. fits my global one x perfectly and its really easy to remove it from your pocket (i had casemate before and it was just terrible).
i bought the at&t version and it fits well to my global one!
I bought my tough case from carphone warehouse to, and it doesn't feel like a normal tough case! The silicone is cheap plus the case feels slippery not the usual high quality I expect from casemate! I had the tough case on my desire and desire hd and galaxy s2 so I know how it should feel!
I have noticed there seems to be 2 different tough cases for the hox, if you look on you tube casemate has a video of it which is the case I have (square cut out for headphone jack) but all other reviews for this case on you tube by others shows a tough case with a different headphone jack cut out and a larger cutout for the speaker on the back of the phone! On my case the writing above the speaker is not visible once the case is on but on the other case you can just see the bottom of the writing at the top of the speaker cutout! Anyone else noticed this? It would be interesting to get feedback!

Just to update you on this, I’ve been to both carphone warehouse and the O2 shop locally and looked at all the tough cases they had in for the One X. None of them had any date stamping and none of them felt as good as my previous tough cases. Then i had a look at a tough case for a SGS3 and it was both date stamped and of nice quality as i would expect. So what's going on here, have CM deliberately made the One X case less good or are they all fakes?
I’ve just been looking at the Ballistic SG case now and that looks like it might be my next case, on Amazon though there’s a 1 to 3 month delivery time!

You could assist me better on this open forum for the benefit of all potential customers. Can you please confirm whether or not all your tough cases should have a date stamp moulded in to them? After further investigation I now have three friends who have a tough case fitted to their Sensations and they all came from Amazon and none of them have the date stamp that mine does. They all feel of inferior quality to mine as did my recent One X purchase.
Has your quality gone down hill or might they be fakes?
I and others await your reply with baited breath...
One week after emailing support as suggested by CaseMate and including a link to this thread, no reply...
Great customer service, i don't think.

They're expensive, but Vaja has one small leather case out already, and I'm sure they'll design more with the relative similarity between carrier devices, and the number of buyers across the world.
The first one they've come up with is $70, which sounds really high, but I can tell you from experience that these things are inSANEly well-made. They're probably hand-stitched by one 85 year-old lady in Venezuela, but their cases are awesome.

I got this one. I love it because vertical position is a must and also the clip can rotate. It does leave some black marks on the back of the phone but nothing is perfect
The $5 & $10 cases on ebay /amazon are not real leather.
I am also interested in some real leather options. A search showed "hoco" as an option, they look pretty slim too.

Seconded! I don't have one for my S3 (yet), but I've been considering the Grip or the Pouch they have on their site.
I've bought their cases for past phones and not only do they look great, but they're very durable. The price-point is a little painful, but well-worth it in my book.
Might as well ask this here. But do any of you guys (yea guys on this one) carry around a wallet case? I was gonna get a SGP Valentinus black for my SGS3 but I got to thinking, maybe it seems a little feminine. I wanted one cuz it would mean for me to not carry a wallet around. I wanted either the Valentinus or the Argos. What you guys think

You have several choices if you glance over this forum.

I think the ringke is the best option. It's very grippy, feels identical to the naked N5 back side

I'm a fan of the Nillkin. It's extremely slim, the grip is beautiful, and the material won't scratch the phone. Easily my favorite of the shell cases.
Available on Amazon!
I would recommend quicksand cases. Cheap but awesome

I agree that there's enough of these threads that a search will find easy answers now (like all of the ones I listed above, were found with searching "slim" or "thin").
Also, why even bother mentioning where it's from? If the case is good, who cares where it comes from. Everything is pretty much manufactured and shipped from somewhere in S.E Asia anyway. Have a look here to compare the Bear Motion Slim to standard Quicksand. The same goes for their Semi Transparent Polycarbonate.
The main difference, is if you go with ebay or alibaba etc, you skip the middle men/paint/branding/retailer markups, ordering usually direct from factory seller. So what's essentially $20 from a retailer, you can get for $0.99 - $2.00. The only drawback, is it takes about 3 weeks to arrive.

No worries, I wasn't offended by it. It always just seems to be a blanket assumption/insult thrown around a lot here though. Mostly based off misunderstanding/unfamiliarity of how manufacturing and distribution works.
Most people don't realize that the case they're holding in their hand, from some big name company is the exact same product made from the same "cheap Chinese factory." The only difference being that these knockoffs, are the exact same product before Branding/Marketing/Retailer Distribution/Cost Markups are attached to it. The prestige of a brand name make people think that these cheaper versions from China are inferior, when in fact they are the same thing, from the same place, minus a company logo, just sold to you directly. Now I'm not saying that's how it is 100% of the time, but the majority of the time, if something is manufactured in China, that is the case.
I feel bad more so for the Chinese people that frequent xda, or in general. That their ethnicity is used so easily and frequently as an insult for low quality.

I understand and can relate
It seems to me that the selection of cases for the Nextbit Robin is pretty poor so far and as far as I know, many known manufacturers are not planning to make cases for this device. Are you planning to buy a case? what case are you going to get?
Update
As far as I can see, so far there is still almost no selection of cases, however there are few screen protectors.
My favorite option so far is the following:
Amazon.com: Anti-Bubble High Definition Clear Shield by Dmax
There is so few options to go with.
Well, we have 3 different options, and different colors for the bumps case. Maybe they're not a lot comparing to other phones/companies, but I think we should just wait till 3rd party companies make more cases for Robin, it's a bit soon to see them out
Yeah, I'm still waiting if anyone have some new cases they noticed please share
Well the phone isn't released yet! And its a startup! So more should arrive soon!

Yeah, I went with that one on Ebay.
Kind of surprised that there aren't any on Amazon.
I know they aren't cases but the dbrand skins look bloody awesome.
I ordered the scratches case because I really despise cases, but I also really want my Robin to stay in pristine condition. It is very small and clear, so it should do fine for me. As for all the people that want their phone put in a tank, I can see your side of the argument, and in that case, I have to agree that they don't have a very good selection.

I bought this Fosmon case in clear. It's a little tight, so the middle sections of each side pulls outward a little. Cutout for the cloud sync logo on the back seems unnecessary, but most likely put in for the opaque color options. You can lay the phone face down and it won't scratch the screen.
My main gripe with the Robin was that it's very slippery -- even though it was touted as being a non-slippery phone -- but this case fixes that problem.
The imperfect fit makes it hard to wholeheartedly recommend, but it adds the much needed grip to the phone so I'm pleased for the low price I paid for it.

I bought this Fosmon case in clear. It's a little tight, so the middle sections of each side pulls outward a little. Cutout for the cloud sync logo on the back seems unnecessary, but most likely put in for the opaque color options. You can lay the phone face down and it won't scratch the screen.

Yeah I got the clear (cause I got the sick Electric model) and this one is also tight I only hope that since it is plastic it will mold to the device in time. like some of the other cases I've had of this material before.

I ordered the scratches case because I really despise cases, but I also really want my Robin to stay in pristine condition. It is very small and clear, so it should do fine for me. As for all the people that want their phone put in a tank, I can see your side of the argument, and in that case, I have to agree that they don't have a very good selection.

Bad choice I got mine together with my Robin and the Scratches case is really poor quality. Some parts of the plastic especially at the charger end of it, are so thin that they tear apart when case is removed a couple of times.
Hope nexbit will fix this at some stage,but not that disappointed at all as I just love the phone itself
I got some weak, POS pocket case off Amazon that doesn't really fit my phone, but I've little choice but to use it until I can get something better. I'm a little tempted by the Bruises, but the case on Nextbit's website looks different from the one on Amazon, with the one on Nextbit's website looking like it has little strawberry-like dimples that the Amazon one doesn't have on the back Even more confusingly, the Amazon Bruises case has the Nextbit logo, but the Nextbit one doesn't.
Alternatively, I've been considering either Fosmon case or one of the Orzly cases, but I don't want to waste my time and money on another crappy case.
ETA: Here's a link to Amazon's Bruises cases by the way. It looks a bit what I would imagine a Midnight Scratches case would look like.
If anyone wants to sell their Scratches case, I can buy.

Got my midnight wrapped in a Bruises case I picked up off Amazon. It's perfect.
Waterproof case
Hey guys!
I can't find any waterproof cases specifically for our phone (only generic flexible cases). Can anyone give me a link to a non-universal case? Thanks in advance. Also people, who have the dbrand bamboo case, can anyone confirm it feels like wood (just wanna know before purchase ) Thanks, and have a great day.
