NOT SUCH A HOT DEAL. When you consider all the complaints on the kickstand breaking and the flimsy soft plastic that often tears at the port covers. BUYER BEWARE!!!
The following quote is from the Facebook Otterbox page. This comment was made on 11-17-2010 at 10:30 AM

When do you think 3rd parties like Amazon, Best Buy and Sprint will carry the Defender for EVO?

OtterBox Amazon and other online retailers should have them within a week or so. Best Buy will be carrying online initially at BestBuy.com.

YMMV - Available on Otterbox website, Amazon has not changed their page, but the price has changed to $33.94 This item is full price on Otterbox at $49.95 with a $5 coupon code for those of you that had signed up for notification on availability.
YMMV - Pre-Order the Otterbox Defender for $26.99 shipped.
It has been "Coming Soon" for months now, so Pre-Order at your own risk.
Free shipping with FSSS or Prime.
This price is current as of 10:30 PM EST 11/7/2010. Amazon prices change rapidly.

NOTE: IT LISTS SHIPPING TIME AS 1-2 MONTHS!!! But it may take longer or shorter. Rumors say it will ship this month.
NOTE: Under Product Description it lists the name as Impact: "Product Description
The OtterBox Impact Series is a durable silicone skin...]"
...however, on the invoice it only lists DEFENDER and makes no mention on Impact Series. Due to this discrepancy, I am adding YMMV to this deal. However, this does not really concern me as the title says Defender and the Impact has no current wait, therefore, there is more than enough reason to believe it is the Defender. I have never had issues with Amazon with similar description issues in the past.
From the Otterbox Facebook page, Otterbox reminds us that all coupon codes are case sensitive.
Jay E Hey guys, I just got my Evo defender for 40$ with free shipping! Use these 2 codes tb1010y (10% off/free shipping) & MEMUEVO5 (5$ off) (coupon is case sensitive) . They both stack. Enjoy 15$ off!

That is not entirely true. you get 10% off which EQUALS free shipping. NOT 10% PLUS free shipping. the total savings is $10. still a great deal though

If you order through Otterbox, you may have to call in, their servers have been crashing.
If you need a case soon or now you may be better off going with the Trident Cyclops or Seidio Rugged. However, I do not suggest the Seidio Rugged as I have 2 and they're both falling apart. The upgraded/seperate screen protector is necessary on the Cyclops. The Ballistic cases may be released this month as well.
Defender on sale at Amazon confirmed as of 11/7/10 11 pm
Confirming OP. Defender on sale through Amazon direct. Must be coming out soon!
http://www.amazon.com/Otterbox-Defender-Shield-HTC-Black/dp/B0043GWDZ2/ref=cm_cr_pr_sims_t
Edit: then again..maybe not..says ships in 1 to 2 months. Does anyone know if Amazon charges when you order or when your item ships? I know for unreleased video games, your card is charged when the item ships but I don't know about non game items.
I see $49.95
nevermind. Previous link was to a different seller at $49.95. Amazon is selling for $29.95
Note that it says Usually Ships in 1 or 2 MONTHS

Thanks for posting the link! I can't believe I forgot that.
For everyone who doesn't frequent Amazon...on the right side there is an area that says "More Buying Choices", this box may have Amazon.com as a seller or it may be the default seller, I'm not sure how they program their code to decide which you see as default.
1-2 months is possible. Rumors say this month, but rumors have been saying that for months!!!
I'm in for 2 because my Seidio Rugged's are falling apart, but they'll hold up until the Otterbox Defender is released.......................................................................unless the Trident Kraken beats them to the market

That's weird. From my point of view, the link I gave does go to the 26.99 version. I'll just chalk it up to some crazy property about Amazon's site. As long as you found it. Actually..I believe Amazon moved it to a different page just that quick.
Here's a screenie of what I initially saw before Amazon changed it:
Just ordered mine, $26.99. Thanks for the heads up OP
Just ordered one also! Crossing my fingers that it comes out in a reasonable time. On facebook otterbox did say that it is in the manufacturing process a few days ago.
Ordered mine as well OP. $26.99 with free super saver shipping. awesome! great find.
From a discussion page on Facebook:
Random Person: NOV 17 DEFENDER CASE FOR EVO SHIPS!!!!!!!!
OtterBox: Fingers crossed, cause it isn't too much longer now. The date didn't come from us, but we are working hard to get them out asap!
Awesome!!
I already have a Commuter case, good for interim was waiting on this one!!
Just scored it for 28.61 with tax, shipped!
Even if it takes a few weeks more than Otterbox I can deal with wait for the price.
Thanks OP!

the only thing i didnt like about the rugged was the opening for the usb port. i did cut it and it works well.. of course it doesnt look like it came that way since i did cut it and its not smooth but it works well..
i have the rugged away but im using the active now... out of all thats out there now with a holster, i think sedio is the best ( IMO)
like i said, i would like to see the otter box before i get it. i just wish it had a clip on the top like the sedio holster has. just feels more secure

I accidentally ripped off that usb port, my wife also accidentally ripped the headset jack area off. That plastic on the Seidio Rugged is just way too thin.
I snapped the top of my holster off, the design didn't work for me...but take that with a grain of salt, cause if it's breakable, I'll break it.

I still haven t been charged yet and I think it's been 48 hours, so I'm guessing they don't charge until it ships. I went ahead and got the 30 day Prime trial so I'm getting mine overnighted for $30 shipped, not too bad!
Ordered off Amazon. For the price you can't beat it. Hopefully it comes sooner than later.
$33.94 now. Listed as in stock on Otterbox.com.

I love this case and have one for my Xoom and 2 for my Touchpads.
As of right now they're currently selling it for $9.99!! 80% off on Amazon, I just ordered and I don't even have my Fire yet lol
http://www.amazon.com/Bear-Motion-Premium-Genuine-Leather/dp/B005U7O0YU
In for 1, thanks Saintfyre, mine was $10.99 + $3.99 S&H but still looks like a fair deal to me!
Even with shipping it's still $10 to $15 cheaper than everything else. Case Logic has a case for $50.. YEAH RIGHT!! A quarter of the cost of the tablet??
Ordered 1, just wish it was Amazon Prime

Thanks going to buy one.
I haven't even picked up my Fire yet but I just ordered this case.

got one and it just shipped... says ill get it around December 6th though.
Yeah I order one but through Amazon Prime shipping for 19.99 and it will be delivered today. I received my Fire on Tue. from Amazon.
Grabbed one for my Kindle Fire for $12.99 + $3.99 shipping.
I had been having trouble finding any cases that had anything higher than a 2 or 3 star review, this was a welcome surprise to start my day.

Most of my stuff from amazon (even 3rd party marketplace sellers) comes way before.
My delivery estimate from amazon says "Nov 23rd - December 9th"
However...it shipped today via USPS 1st class mail (as I expected). I'll probably get it Saturday.
This is not a Amazon Prime Item. Not sure if it was and isn't now or posters are not remembering what they actually purchased.
When I ordered it, the price had gone up a tad.
$12.99 + $4.99 shipping. No biggie.
Shipped yesterday via USPS from Boise, ID. Expect to get it in a few days here in AZ.
They must have upped the price to $12.99 from $9.99.
I ordered this case this morning, and paid the $12.99 + $4.99 shipping/handling.
Tried finding the case being shipped by Amazon, so I could take advantage of the 1-month Prime they gave us, but had no luck.
Yeah I saw the price hike, but still you'll be hard pressed to find a better deal.
I have a Student Prime account and was bummed about this not being eligible for Prime also, my last 3 orders weren't either but oh well.
You get an awesome case for less than $20 bucks.
Great deal, thanks!

Mines on it's way, got the shipping confirmation day before yesterday.

If you're worried about fake reviews or anything, look at the reviews for their ipad2 case, same type of product from the same maker/seller: http://www.amazon.com/Bear-Motion-G...1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1321630446&sr=1-1
almost a thousand reviews, and when you look at the breakdown it's like 90% five-star, 5% four-star, and 5% other...almost no 2's and 1's. This actually helped me decide their fire case would probably be alright.
I saw this show up in my daily email newsletter from Fab.com. The Urban Armor Case for our Galaxy S3 (and another not to be mentioned phone) is on sale.

Unfortunately they don't. The UAG cases are very form fitted to the stock phone.
That site seems a bit too hip for me to buy from...
Same problem as ever, won't ship to Europe. Main company does, but I end up paying 2x more with shippings and customs and may take up to several months to get here...
I noticed the not eligible for return comment and hesitated...
I want an Aviator, but I may wait for the price on Amazon to drop some.
its still cheaper on amazon ($25 shipped) fab is $27
Iam so f**cking mad at UAG, i order the AERO color like two months at full retail price and still haven't gotten the case. They said. they ship then out last week. Lets see if it come by Friday if not ill try to get my money back and order from Fab,com
i know that slim/sleek/svelte is all the rage these days, but if you're like me, you're paranoid about drops. i've used this case on my n4 since day one and couldn't be happier with it. i'm definitely picking up an n5 version of it when i get around to ordering my n5. (which should be tomorrow, woo!)
just wanted to throw this case out there as option for those who want more serious protection than the slim and hybrid stuff currently out there. if this case is anything like it's n4 counterpart, it's not going to add a ton of bulk to the phone. i think the protection/bulk trade-off is right in a sweet spot with this case.
here's a link:
http://www.amazon.com/Acase-Google-Nexus-Superleggera-Protection/dp/B00GAF30N8
i'll be sure to return to this thread with pics when i have the phone and case in hand.
This seems similar to the dual layer Incipio cases for some phones. If it is then I agree this is a great balance for cases offering heavy duty protection.

Sorry i was mistaken, I think it was actually $0.99 with $4.50 shipping when I ordered the white one. Still no shipping confirmation... It was suppose to be delivered by the 19th.

I had an order in at that price but I cancelled it, now I regret it, I can't find the cheaper listing now...
I'll go and contact them tonight and see what is with them dissaperaing on amazon.
I also noticed CTC store had pretty much disappeared.
I cancelled my order with them around 4pm est and bought it from another vendor.
At 5:30pm est they sent me a message telling me that they're sorry, they shipped my package today, and to write "REFUSED" on it and send it back.
At 6:15pm est they sent me a notification saying it had shipped.
I'm going to play along and give them the benefit of the doubt, but the way they're going about things seems very peculiar.
Where can I buy this case shipped to or in Canada?
Egh I have this for the Nexus 4 and it gets damaged so easily on the back. The material takes permanent scratches like nothing.

Memorial Day. I noticed the sale yesterday. 25% off site-wide with the code mem2014 code at checkout.
For a few case+color combination it works out cheapest. I got the Armor to complement the ultra slim for when I'm more knock-about traveling.
If I didn't already have 8 cases for my N5, I'd consider another one. But the red Slim Armor case does look good.

Red, white, gray is $25 pre-discount, I bought black $15 pre-discount, after discount add tax, free postage, is $12.14 my out-of-pocket . I own a red N5 so there's a dash of red visible
I've kept my N4 in a dual-layer rubber inner, more stiff outer for 18 months and taking it out I see the only damage is the scratches around fumbling in the usb power. I later got a wireless base charger,so my new N5 should look even better used when I sell it.

No actually. e.g. nexus 5 spigen armor cheapest on Amazon is $17+tax + postage (which you can avoid with Prime or bundling with other items) but I got that case Spigen for total $12 delivered, so ...cough, if someone wanted such a case they can it cheaper today than Amazon do every day.

You're right I just checked. Normally though the slim armor was 25 on spigen's site and 18 on amazon so with the 25% off it would be the same price approx. However, I didn't notice spigen lowered their price to 15.
