I wonder if we will get a Otterbox Defender case? These are great and I have one on my HTC HD2. Who else wants One?
I am waiting. It's great for a great piece of hardware.

I'm waiting for an OtterBox, case-mate Tough Case, or something similar. OtterBox made 'em for the Magic & Slide, so hopefully they will for the Glacier as well.

Geez, 5 months after the release of the Evo they FINALLY have an otterbox for it! So don't hold your breath! I'm waiting for a Seidio 3200-3500 Mah battery for it like I have on my Evo and matching belt clip-case/holster. Picking up my Glacier Monday and, like the Evo (got it the day it was released), going to be hard going while waiting for a few accessories for it.

I use this one and I love it! Almost EXACTLY like a commuter case!

This case is one of those sold in T-Mobile stores.
I got this the other day from Otterbox.
We are currently working on a Commuter and Impact case for this device, but it is still being designed and we don’t have a time table for when it will be ready. I recommend keeping an eye on our website or Facebook page where we will be sure to post more information as soon as it is available. Customer Service finds out about new case releases the moment they are posted to the website.
Thank you,

yeah, on otterbox facebook page they said they are working on cases for the mytouch 4g, but didnt go into details about which ones.. I prefer the defender series but will have to wait and see.
I will say though that I have defender series cases on my iphone, nexus one and hd2..by far the best of the bunch has been the iphone one, just made to a higher standard or something, fits much tighter and the rubber part stays put..on my hd2 the rubber part kinda just lays over the bottom buttons..not real form fitting.

I got in touch with them and they will not be making a defender case for out MT4G. They are developing a commuter and Impact version.
i've had seidio cases on my 2 previous phones and i loved them. fitmet and quality is great and provides awesome protection.
http://www.seidioonline.com/category-s/7709.htm
i have been wondering if they were going to make cases for the note since it was first launched in october, and i guess they started to work on cases since the at&t note launch. i can't wait!
I loved my Seidio Active Case with kickstand for my Sensation! Trying to decide to jump ship and get this or the Casemate POP! case as I like the kickstand better on the Casemate and the overall feel and protection, but it's a bit bulkier.

I don't understand why they stopped making holsters for "naked" devices?! I've been waiting months on one for my GNex and now waiting on one for the Note. Personally never been a fan of cases on my phones plus I use car mounts from ProClip for both phones which can't be used with cases.

I was waiting for them to make a holster for naked device too..
I talked to the customer service and the one they have now is not for naked devices.
Surprising that no one makes one for naked devices.
ughh I dont like the active case as it adds too much bulk but the bigger thing is when you click the active case into the holster you have to pull the handle back to snap it in because it just gets stuck on the rubber part of the case at the top.
I loved the surface case combo for my EVO and really bummed they are not offering it.
Has anyone purchased this case? I'm going to either buy this one or the case-mate tough case. But I don't know which one to buy!
How thick does this case make the phone?
I saw a couple of "unboxings" on youtube, but they weren't really good.
Can anyone post any images or talk about the case? Thanks a bunch
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 like the S-Line wave grip case I have, it's a slim case and doesn't add too much bulk and adds grip.
I've also got a SUPERGETS Dual layer case, but that adds a lot of bulk, it'll probably have more chance of saving my phone than the Sline but whats the point having a case when it makes you not want to use the phone?

I am settled or I wouldn't be trying to answer your question. I don't get a damn thing if you buy the case. I don't really know how to answer the question other than it is about same as any other hybrid case I've used. Nothing that would drive me nuts.

Urban Armor Gear case hands down. I typically hate cases on my phones because I think it ruins the aesthetics and the feel of the device in your hand, but in my opinion the UAG enhances both.

I don't know how many of you guys are aware of UAG, but they make HANDS DOWN the best cases. I reached out to them a week or so ago and they said they have no plans on making a case for the Moto X. That needs to change. We all need to pester them on Facebook and through their website so they can see what kind of demand there is for a case for the Moto X, and I wish to enlist all of you to help me in my quest.

I sent them a shout out. I've been wanting a UAG for a long time, but no love for the GN. In the meantime I picked up a Trident Cyclops that I actually really dig. Picked one up off of eBay for 29.99. I had a Trident Kraken on the GN and enjoyed it. Cases are built well, and offer good phone protection.

I don't think we have anything to worry about. When you put their response in context with the email I sent them, it's a pretty surefire thing. I rocked the white on my iPhone 5 and on my HTC One, and I will certainly be rocking the white on my Moto X.
Here was my email to them-
I know I have asked you guys on Facebook if you were planning on making a case for the Moto X and you said no, but I was hoping you guys have taken note of the growing popularity of the phone and possibly reconsidered. I really think you guys will sell a lot of them, considering you make hands down the best cases on the market. Last time around I did a review of your case for the HTC One on xda developers (_MetalHead_) and it was met with an overwhelmingly positive response. Many people purchased the case after reading that review. I will gladly do another review of the Moto X case, should you decide to make one, and I guarantee we will get the same reaction. You guys make a wonderful product, you just need to expand your offerings to cover more devices. Lets start with the Moto X!

So. I was poking around on their site and I found their newest iPhone 5c case: http://www.urbanarmorgear.com/products/maverick
I do not doubt that there will be, at least, this version for the moto x. Since we have multiple colors, they will look for the most cost-effective way to make a matching color scheme for the case. The best option would be to make a clear one. Although I would most definitely choose white again, I will gladly settle if they only release a clear version.

Well I am coming from the GNex with extended battery plus Kraken case. That was a pretty bulky phone not gonna lie as you had a layer of TPE followed by the hard plastic. The Cyclops on my X still feels pretty awesome without ungodly bulk, It still is overall a rather thin phone, and I think it fits better in my hands as I have big hands.

I ended up buying a blue one and it came yesterday. It's a decent case but it does add a little too much bulk for my liking. I do like how it maintains a semi-thin profile but I don't like how wide it is. I'm probably going to use it while at work for now, but once the UAG case comes out then it'll probably get tossed in a drawer never to be seen again.

I know the feeling as I have 3 or 4 rugged GNex cases laying around trying to find the right one. I will definitely be trying out the UAG case whenever it hits the market. I just went with the Cyclops as I don't use Otterboxes, and that was about the only rugged case outside of Ballistic. My profession require that I have a rugged case and screen protector at all times.
