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.

i am too interested in this. i was going to purchase this case as soon as i get my nexus in

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.

I have this case/holster. it does have a ratcheting clip on the holster btw. anyway what I was gonna say is regarding the screen protector. I had a screen protector on my phone before getting this case. I tested out the screen responsiveness with the ballistic SP over my SP and it suffered badly. So i chose not to use it. Maybe I will try to remove my SP and try the ballistic SP on it one day.

This case is great,
Cons: Smells horrible, Smells like petroleum (which it is made of) if the phone is a foot away from me it is very potent.
Needs a kickstand.

Its great. It's thin and durable (I use it without the optional outer rubber layer). Covers the ports of headphones and charger. There are also plastics films to protect the camera lens and flash lens. Only annoying hindering aspect would be the power button and home button. You need press with a bit of force. Taking it off is a hassle too, but I knew that when I purchased it. I popped off the built in screen protector since I have a zagg hd on mine, so I can't comment on that. It feels great and the kick stand isn't flimsy. Overall it is a great product.

Otterbox Commuter Case and Case Mate

I've been looking for a case that offers adequate protection while maintaining a relatively slim profile. My search has led me to the Otterbox Commuter Case but I would like to know how much protection it offers compared to the Case Mate with kickstand

The otterbox case is freaking great, I don't know how many times I dropped my phone and it's all good not a single scratch or dent. But it can't withstand throws like what my friend did to his when his girl pissed him off. Screen shattered.

Ya, Im talking about the commuter. The defender is too bulky as hell and ugly,but the protection from that is crazy, thats not really needed.
Edit: Case mate is also a good case, but I had that for my galaxy s fascinate and after a year the outer shell case started cracking i know its from me constantly taking it out of the case to pull out the battery. But still, the quality of the plastic is too crispy, it was cracking on both sides, like I left it out on the sun.
case mate
case mate tough case is good. i have a otterbox defender it was WAY TO BULKY. i switched back to my case mate and installed a zagg protector. i missed the thin profile

Yes I agree, trident aegis was my favorite until I got the tough. My phone feels protected but still fits in my pocket easily.
My Otterbox Commuter came in two days ago. I still haven't opened it yet because I'm trying to decide if I should send it back and get an extended battery instead. Anybody experience something like this? If so what did you choose?

I personally use the Otterbox Defender, being a contractor I absolutely need the "excessive" protection for my phone. Its taken a few falls off a 10 foot A frame ladder and been completely fine. If you want a step down, check out the Sedio cases as well. The case they have that offers protection similar to the Otterbox Commuter is great for the price. If you combine that with a good screen protector you're almost at the same level as the Defender.

Thats the Sedio case I'm referring to, the holster is junk but the case really isn't bad for mid level protection. Check out the others mention in this thread thus far as well, they are all good options.

Yeah the Commuter is a great choice, just figured I'd share my experience with Otterbox alternatives since Otterbox didn't make anything for this phone for a while. Extended batteries are overrated in my opinion, if one can't access a charger to give the phone a boost (if not a full charge) than I'd say those mobile power packs are a better investment. Unless you can find a good extended battery that still allows for a solid case, and if you find that let us know cause I'd like to look into that. That's just my take, I'd rather my phone lose a charge faster and still be in one piece haha. Cheers, let us know what you end up doing cause I'm pretty curious.

Haha my thoughts exactly! I think I'll just get an extra OEM battery or two. How hard is it to take the Commuter off? Also, will it begin to lose its form from taking it off?

Not sure to be honest because I've only had the Defender for this phone. If it's still the hard plastic inside with the rubber encasing it, it's bound to lose its shape eventually. My Defender's rubber outside is starting to slip off the bottom right corner a little bit, but I don't use the holster so I'm sure putting it in my pocket doesn't help. That and the case really does get a beating! But my phone looks like it's right out of the Samsung box every time it's out of the case so I can't complain.

Trident Kraken A.M.S. or Otterbox Defender

Kraken or Otterbox? Which of the two is better? I really like both cases, and I've heard good and bad things about both. I would appreciate any input, especially of you own/have owned either cases.

I like the look of otterbox better, but tridant has the kick stand...so depends on what you think you'd use more. I had an otterbox on my phone for a while but realized the bulk was too much since I baby my phone. I'm sure same would be for the trident. If you drop ur phone a lot or do a lot of hiking with it, bulk it up....but otherwise it really takes away from the slim design.

I haven't seen an AMS until now, ordered mine. 34.95 on amazon.
I have the otterbox defender case. The back of my holster clip locks in so it can be a kickstand. Its very bulky but it works.

I have the trident aegis. With trident cases, the plastic is on top of the silicone when you put it on, with silicone sticking out on the corners. That way, the silicone doesn't easily stretch like it does on the otterbox. Especially if you take off your case on a regular basis. I have the defender for my ipod touch, and I've used it on other devices as well. In my opinion, the screen protector is horrible as well. The worst I've ever used(yes its worse than those cheap ones you can get off ebay in a 3 pack for 3 dollars). Trident cases also have dust covers over the mic and speaker grill, whereas the otterbox does not. So I say go with the Kraken. It would be worth it.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
Thanks. I decided to but the Otter from BestBuy, and also order the Kraken online to try both out when the Kraken gets here. The first day with the Otter was terrible with the screen protector, but now it's a lot better, since I guess it either stuck to my screen better, or O got used to it. Does anyone know the quality of the built in protector for he Kraken? And also, one last thing, if I were to drop the Kraken, since the outside is; plastic, how durable is that plastic. Because the thing I like the most is he outside rubber for the Otter.

Just got my Kraken today, absolutely love it. As for the screen protector, I threw it away, didn't even bother with it. I've had ghost Armor on all of my phones as well as my wife's phone, I get a new one put on once a month and have never had a problem. The plastic around the Kraken is very durable and wouldn't be worried if I drop the phone. I'm coming from an Aegis, a lot better protection and I've owned otterboxes before, Kraken from here on out for me.

i just got this case a few days ago and i like it so far. im coming from an otterbox, which i started to not like that much after the rubber outer layer began to get weak. im sure i could probably contact otterbox about it and they would likely send another one. but i wanted to give the kraken a shot since i really like the aegis and my only contention with it was that there was no kickstand or belt clip. i have to get used to the texture, hard and a lil slippery is much different from the otterbox's soft grippy exterior...but not a downer by any means. also, i found the screen protector to be decent and actually a welcome edition. i was ready to go without it or use a Realook screen saver that i have, but the one that comes with the Kraken is nice and im not having an issue with it at all.
one issue i do have with the Kraken is that they didn't design it with a hole for the indicator light (top right). i actually use mine and when im doing in the field and my phone is on silent. so that would be a good thing to adjust if they can for future designs.
Be different, go trident... I see too many otterboxs.. Mostly on iphones though

Otterbox Commuter vs Seidio Active (with metal kickstand)

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.

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.

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.

Otterbox Defender Case

Has anyone tried the Otterbox Defender for the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014? I would like to know if it adds a major amount of thickness to the tablet and how does the stand work?
I couldn't get a hold of it yet. So far it's only available online. Waiting for reviews..
I'd like to know as well.. can't seem to find any reviews.. even on YouTube.

Been using this case since it's release and I love the durability it gives the tablet for working in the construction industry but it does just about double the thickness of the case. The stand is more or less a cover that can snap on the front or back of the tablet to add protection to the screen while traveling. Look up reviews for the iPad defender case as it is pretty much identical in function. I can try and get some pics of it later if someone wants it.

photo review would be very very nice.
although I love otterbox (had it for my hp winmo) the price is very expensive and I don't think I can justify buying it.

Has anyone tried the Otterbox Defender for the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014? I would like to know if it adds a major amount of thickness to the tablet and how does the stand work?

I'm typing on it right now- case is solid and stand works great but Has a like bulky but worth it.
Yes they are expensive but cheaper than a repair. This tablet is stupidly fragile. I should know screen cracked yesterday. Put a screen protector on it to smooth glass. All kinds of bubbles from glass shards and the inside is really dusty due to having to reapply because stupid glass shards
