I sent 'em an email about 4 days ago... this was their response:
"We do not have any information if a case will be made at this time for that device, but it is something that has been requested. I have submitted a product suggestion on your behalf, and recommend keeping an eye on our website, as it will have the most up to date information on any new releases that we may have."
Wow thanks maybe I should call and email as well. Hopefully they will get the hint and make it happen.
Word murder provided by vibrant sgs
Yeah def. to anyone who reads this thread head over to otterbox.com and send em an email saying you'd like a case made. They make high quality stuff.
Never had an Otterbox case but i know they are thick. And pricey.
Just replied. And as pricy as they are look up on youtube. Otterbox car and iphone. A friggin car runs over an iFail and the phone stays in tact. Its super restive from what i heard and also i hear the build quality is AMAZING! As thick as it is its worth it. Plus OG smartphones are thick arent they? Not only will it pretect it itll make your anerexic vibrant into a smartphone
Yee!
This is what they replied: Thank you for contacting Otter Products, LLC Customer Support.
Your request for assistance has been received. Case #157586 - "Samsung Galaxy S" has been created for you. A member of our customer care team will respond to your case as soon as possible.
Just sent them the following email,
Hi, I am emailing you in regards to the International and US carrier specific versions of the Samsung Galaxy S series phones. I'm just asserting my interest in purchasing a Defender series case if you were to launch a line for the Galaxy S.
In my opinion, I believe the Galaxy S series phones to be a good investment for a high end phone case manufacturer such as yourself. My opinion is due largely to the sheer number of phones that have been sold already; since launch totaling over 1 million units. Also, I've found a large percentage of the international variant of the Galaxy S were bought outright with out carrier subsidy, and with prices ranging from $599-800 on average I would imagine that most of those people would want to amply protect their investment with a ruggedized case such as yours. Another advantage to the series is that the International and US Carrier specific versions of the phone are very similar in form factor, thus minimal retooling and design changes would be necessary to make the case work with two of the US carriers, and with the International version to a certain degree. In actuality, the US specific versions such as T-Mobile Vibrant and Verizon Fascinate are practically identical externally and the capacitive touch buttons on the face of the phone will, I trust, lend themselves well to the simple and robust protection that the Defender series can provide. Honestly, after seeing the success you've had with the design of the hardware "Home" button on the face of the iPhone cases, I could see something very similar as easy to implement for the international version of the Galaxy S.
Although I believe that the other two US carrier specific versions of the phone would be less profitable to design a Defender series case due to their irregular shape and slider design respectively, I think they would still lend themselves well to the commuter, impact, or tandem line of cases.
Sorry if I seem to ramble on, but I'm very excited to see an offering from Otterbox for the Galaxy S line, and I see it as a great opportunity for you the manufacturer and I the consumer to be mutually benefited by a superbly designed and executed case offering from your company.
Thank you for your consideration and for giving me the outlet to express my desire to protect my beloved Samsung Vibrant with your case offerings. Thanks again.

Come on guys, lay it on thick.
This is can be a great case to protect our $199-$599 investments,
and we're the ones that have to convince Otterbox that this case needs to be made!
So bump it up to the top!

Just sent them a message too. I waited forever to see a US release for the HD2 but it never happened. I hope something shows up for the Vibrant.
I mailed them too.
Got the same cookie cutter responce everyone else has.
I have a feeling they will cave in and make one....but it might take some time for it to show up

Send 'em more messages people!
Just sent a message. I will also make a post on the other forums I frequent, asking everyone to send Otterbox a message.
I hope they'll heed our requests for a case. I really like the quality of the iPhone cases they make.

Subject: Samsung Vibrant
Do you have any plans on making a commuter case for the samsung vibrant? Thanks.
Got an email back from them today:
We are currently working on a case for this device. 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. Generally it takes approximately 2-4 months for a case to developed once a device is released to the public. Customer Service finds out about new case releases the moment they are posted to the website
I was just checking their website yesterday to see if they've come out yet. They are at the end of their "development" time. Didn't take long for the bastards to come out with a Captivate case.
I wanted to pass along this information.
I sent some emails to this companies about the Xoom Case.
Here is what they told me.
Scosche:
At this point we do not have any plans for that. If you have any other questions please feel free to ask!

Speck:
I JUST BOUGHT THIS SNAZZY NEW ______, AND NOTICED YOU DON'T MAKE A CASE FOR IT YET. HOW CAN I FIND OUT WHEN YOU'RE RELEASING NEW CASES?
We’d love to be able to give you a definite answer, but the truth is, we don’t always know ourselves. Believe us on this: we’re busily turning out tons of super-sweet new cases, bags and sleeves just as fast as our little hands can turn. But if we gave you definite release dates and for whatever reason they didn’t turn out to be dead-on, well, then, you might be sad. And we don’t want you to be sad. So we ask that hang on, sign up for e-mail newsletter on the bottom right corner of our website and be patient. We’ll let you know, we promise!

They are all busy modifying their production for iPad cases... It's a shame that the Xoom evokes so little confidence in the accessory market I absolutely love it but I don't expect there will be any kind of, let's say car stereo, with Android connectivity (but maybe there already is; I never checked).
Either way, I will most likely buy the Motorola keyboard and patch together my own leather case with keyboard compartment... As we say in German: "Selbst ist der Mann!"
Anyone checked with Seidio?

Macally and Incase are Apple lovers but make great products. Too bad but not surprising.
Incepio it is. Crossing fingers for Seidio.

I asked seido, their response was that they may but need to see sales and interest. They are a very responsive company probably good if a bunch of us post our requests on their facebook page to show interest.

I emailed an ipad case company called switcheasy. they make awesome cases and sleeves. This is what they said
That is a great question! Our design and development team is always busy
working on new products and releases. Since your interests are very
important to us,
we will forward this information to them for future releases.
If the dimensions similar to the ipad or ipad2, it may fit in one of
our sleeves... Ribcage and Trig. We can't promise, for our cases were
made specifically for apple products.
So my question is, has anyone tried to see if the xoom fits in ipad sleeves?
Yea, I have an encase sleeve I grabbed. It is made for the iPad. It fits fine, but the length of the XOOM is a bit more then the iPad, so it is a tight fit at the zipper. Width the XOOM is not as wide as the iPad so no issues there.
If it is a flexible sleeve, I think you're fine. If it is rigid at all, I think it could be tricky.

Donations is completed and supercurio has successfully received the phone and he is currently working on the kernel drivers for the fixes so stay tuned and make sure to fallow his twitter account for more updates. Thanks to everyone that donated and supported the thread. I'm pretty sure supercurio is also thankfull to you guys.
Use this thread to discuss about the fix and also to chit chat about anything related the screen problems on our SGH-T989.
i think you missed the point
Supercurio said Samsung should send him one, not us
he didn't ask us to pitch in for a device
he asked us to contact Samsung and have Samsung send him a device.
found it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19142874&postcount=220
supercurio said:
Note: I received a donation but when I tell "I don't have a device" the goal is not really to ask you to pay for it − especially since I have no idea if I'll get results eventually.
I firmly believe it's manufacturer's role to fix it. And the manufacturer here is Sam.. err no; it doesn't really works like that in the US. Manufacturer is T-Mobile.

I didn't not know about this sorry. I guess there is nothing wrong with the community to pitch in for a device....Samsung might not send him one. This is a heck of great community so I'm pretty sure we can all get him the device faster than Samsung.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App
there fixed your tittle
How do we go about asking Samsung to do this? I can't just say "hey give supercurio a T989" they wouldn't even know who I'm talking about.
Someone wants to organize this?
i vote for Surfacet to lead this, since he started this topic
The thing is I never done a thread like this before. This is my first thread ever on xda. This thread got sticked? I thought it got removed or something lol.
Lets see supercurio's response. I cant send him a message since he got it disabled
-Algamer
Contacting Samsung was kinda your idea...My idea was to make it a bounty and donate to him for the cause
Social media is a great medium.
Spam Samsung John and Carla anyone? Let's do it.
I'd be willing to donate. Just look how fast the other devs got their bounties, I bet we could get him one in two weeks or less.

Quick note: Galaxy S II audio hardware is not Voodoo Sound capable.
I work only on Super AMOLED plus, awaiting better quality audio chip in the future generations of devices (Voodoo Sound is still in development for supported devices)
Allgamer: if people want to raise funds to send me a device why not. It will always be soon enough to cancel the process if Tmo/Samsung does, and will also demonstrate users determination.
Feel free to contact Samsung reps but please avoid spamming them, it would be severely counter-productive.
As long as you are okay with that, then by all means lets turn this topic into an official [BOUNTY] for Mr. curio
WHERE DO WE DONATE?
The link in Sir Curio's signature is for donating to his Voodoo project, do we need another link for T989 screen issue only, for easier financial consolidation?
There should be another donation link but not sure if super has it or not. I'm waiting for him to give us the link to where to donate so I can put it on the OP.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App
As written in the bounty guidelines, I would suggest counting first and then, later, sending the donations.
Its easier than refunding everyone if its canceled for some reason
As I cannot buy this device in France, it would be pretty nice to choose a trusty well known peer who would receive the donations, buy the phone and post it (shipping costs about $35, something like that) in my direction.
I'm listening.
I own Gigahertz Computers in Warner Robins, GA. IV never done any business in the marketplace here but I have an associate with a tmo sgs2 for $400 that is new (opened and played with but spotless and is in the box with receipt where he paid full retail from a walk-in tmo store 2 weeks ago. I have a PayPal account and would be more than happy to take on the responsibility of taking the donations and getting SC the device. I have an eBay account with 44 recent transactions (mostly phones) that is spotless everybody can checkout. Mountdenizen is the screen name. My business is a Mac / mobile device service and support shop and the eBay transactions have been done because of it. Allgamer, I'm not real sure how this all works but IV seen the thread for awhile now and have seen people talking about starting a pot for the device... just thought we may need to take the bull by the horns here. I in no way feel special or entitled to do this, just willing. I'm listening as well. My email is [email protected] and that's also my PayPal account. I'm on here on and off all day (kind of Android obsessed here) so you can contact me anytime. I do think we need to keep everything public and in the forums to keep all parties involved as transparent as possible. Off to bed, ill check back in the A.M.

You guys won't regret getting this guy the device. He will unleash its power. He is one of respectful developers on xda. Check out his work.
I'd be happy to donate a few dollars. I love super's work on the vibrant. Voodoo and voodoo sound just made it top notch.

Whenever I go into an AT&T store or any other cellphone providers retail store. Their main cases are by the brand speck, they have always been well made and aways durable in my situation. Wondered if they would make one for the nexus 5 as I feel it would be one of the top cases out there if they did. Sadly... This is the response I got
" Thank you for contacting Speck, we are glad you did! *We are always creating new styles and colors of cases. *Unfortunately, I have no information to provide you about when, or if, we will offer a case for the Nexus 5
In the meantime, I encourage you to sign up for our newsletter (toward the bottom of our homepage) if you have not already done so. *This way, you will be informed of our latest and greatest!

shame you have to be in the usa we never get chance for much in the uk
I barely meet the requirements, but would be interested!
Sounds awesome to have a extra battery option. Will the battery case retain wireless charging capabilities?
@ZEROLEMON_OFFICIAL I would be interested in testing one of these out. I have never used a battery case so this would be a first for me. I have sent a pm for consideration.
I meet all the criteria, and it sounds interesting, but how does it affect the longterm life of the internal battery. It wouldn't matter if the battery was removable like all my previous phones, but that will never return I'm sure.
I've wondered if it would be better to be able to select which battery the phone uses, internal or external. This would allow the internal to be used normally and switch to the external when needed - with a slight delay so the phone never loses power. Either this has already been done and I'm ignorant having never used a battery case, or there are hardware restrictions.
Best of luck
Hello!
An XDA user for over 10 years, would love to try your product.
Would love try this great for business trips.
I'm most definitely interested and believe I'm a solid candidate to test, review and provide adequate feedback for this product. See my pm for further information.
It's a shame that you guys only ship in the US because I would've loved to try one (Italian guy here) especially because I meet the requirements with a large margin.
The thing that I'm most interested about, like one other user, is how this case will affect the life of the internal battery considering that it will keep charged at 100% stressing it out. Do you guys have a solution for this problem?
Yeah...sorry for that~
