No otterbox

I don't know if can see the posts but otterbox replied to a friend of mine with, "Unfortunately we will not offer a case for the TMobile version. So sorry to disappoint."
I am dissapointed....

Otterbox is up the ass of AT&T as well as Apple and it really pisses me off. The alternatives like Trident and GumDrop are slowing going to gain ground on them.

That is such a bummer! Ugh! I really need to find a good kickstand case or a landscape dock.

Check out the Case Mate POP! Case. It's got a kickstand. I have one for the AT&T SGS2 and it's great.

Im not all that impressed with otterboxes anyway. I have a defender for my hd2 & after only a couple months the silicone got all stretched out over the buttons. Trident FTW.

Well I will be buying that case to try it out. Right now I use the D3O and i love it, its a tight fight but i dont like having to press the power button so hard...

Has anyone compared the new SGS2 ATT LTE to ours its the same screen size and if the fronts are similar .....maybe we'll get an otterbox...

i think the D3O cases are way better than the Otterbox
Otterbox cases are always bulky and thick, makes the device larger than its

I had a Nexus One before SGS2 and I dropped that thing so many times not a scratch or a dent or anything on that. I know that the SGS2 is plastic vs nexus one which is why I want the best protection possible and adding alittle bulk knowing I can drop it and it will be protected.....

Otterbox Defender Review

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!

pd .- I will be doing a giveaway soon for some of the cases I review..stay tuned

if you reviewed the case long time ago,i would have bought this instead of the cummuter

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 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.

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.

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 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.

I just read about both and liked what I had read about SGP... and actually, I bought the XGear Spectre and the Glasszone, they should both arrive about the same time and they're the same thickness. I don't know which one I will end up using, but I am never shy about buying "gadgets"... LOL
I think I'll hit each one with a hammer and which ever one survives, that's the one I will use.

I want the amzer. Might order it. Should fit hopefully

I spent some time forcing the Seidio Surface case over the GS3 with the .4mm thick screen protector on it. Although I was able to get it on, it doesn't fit very well at the seam where the top and bottom pieces meet on the back of the phone. It will have to do for now.

Fake Otterbox Case and Holster

Guys, thought I would share a case of I just got in the mail today. You can view it here:
http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=251205640188&index=12&nav=SEARCH&nid=51832567878
Didn't know how it would be as the price is very good. But I must say it is very good. Very solid on the phone and feels just like a real Otterbox. Even has the Otter logo on the back of the case and on the holster. Very happy with this purchase. Spending $12 on a case that is very close to the ones that list for $40+ is a deal in my book any day!
It ships from Hong Kong so it will take a few days. Mine arrived very quickly even through the holidays. About 9 days which is very good.

How's the power and volume button stiffness? Is it super hard to press or is it much easier to press than the real one?

can you post some pics of it on your phone?

I will try and get some pics up soon. The case feels really firm. The Plastic does not give any and the buttons are hard, in a good way. They are firm to when you push them they respond. It is really hard to tell this is a knock off. Heck, the holster is just like the otter box kind. No doubt it will hold up if dropped.

Ok ikn what you all do with your phones but ive been using otterbox since tye original htc evo... i work in retail as a stock clerk... im always loading akd unloading trucks , cutting opening boxes amd packages , in dusty areas ( sometimes ) ive dropped my otterbox several times and never cracked or broke never got anything in it ... also you can get defender cases for about $20 on amazon with tax and shipping maybe $25. Thats half of retail... same with the commuter case runs about $17 on amazon.... also otterbox has a great warranty I had one issue on my evo of the rubber scratching out ... contacted otter box not only did they send me a whole new case but also sent me 2 new rubber pieces so the $12 you spent $10 more dollars you can get a real otter box and have a great warranty.... btw I have friends that have that case and the rubber will stratch out fast and will have to buy another case within 4 months or so.... btw picture is showing how many otter boxes I have gotten for one phone and how easy it is to replace.
