Hey Everyone, I was goofing around Amazon and came across this:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=470938631&pf_rd_i=507846
So I tought I would let everyone know! It is a cool looking carbon skin,with a screen protector for $15... My only concern is that it looks like it is one big skin on the back so that could be problematic.
Looks OK all we need is a Guinea pig lol

Probably!!! But they call it that and can charge $5 more!!!!
I'll give it an try and report back!
Ordered one of these on 8/16. Got dilivery notice right away with USPS tracking number.
USPS tracking said "Status: Electronic Shipping Info Received" and has never changed.
Waited checking tracking daily and hoping.
Late on 8/27 got an e-mail from amazon telling me my order was being refunded "Due to customers request." I never requested a refund. I wanted the product.
Checked out the companies feed back and found out I am not the only one that happened to. E-mailed to see what is going on, but others say I will never hear from them.
Time to look for other solutions.
Same thing happened to me.

Could you post a couple of pictures of it? If not, no worries. Thanks!
i got this from amazon on friday and put it on no pics it does add some depth to the streak and scratch protection. I just cant wait for the otterbox commuter to come out. I heard a tell on another forum that they are listed under dell premier logins with a 2 week backlog. i cant confirm that yet because my shipping person is out on vacation for the week.

That link was a surprise . . That is my Streak . . my pictures . . After that I got the Otterbox, the $19 one .. Took off the skin and put on the Otterbox .. HATED IT [don't like the way it feels to the touch, I am constantly picking lint off of it..] and I have since purchased another skin. I bought the clear one .. Sort of wish I bought the one in the picture again but the clear skin hasn't arrived yet. Maybe I will like it. I like the skinomi screen protector better than the one that comes with the otterbox. diane
You should try the otterbox communter if you don't like the feel of the impact. The communter has a hard shell.

if you are talking about the mugen 4800mh battery then probably none of the otterbox cases... they are all perfect fit of the original streak size.
I'll do a more detailed review tonight and switch out the photos with better ones too.
First impressions: Holy crap this is huge!
It is very reminiscent of the commuter series for the HTC Hero (of course). However, this one feels a bit more "rugged".
The case has the standard plugs for the headphones and microusb ports. It also has the raised areas for the volume rocker and on/off button. The front is well protected and thick enough to not really have to worry about placing the phone face down.
It was much easier to attach than the Sedio Innocase! And conversely, it's a PAIN to remove (which is a good thing!)
It takes about the same amount of force to slide open the keyboard. It's borderline too hard for me.
Oh, the keyboard lights aren't completely covered either! Granted you still can't see them looking directly down at the phone, you can see them if you tilt the phone back a little.
My initial qualms are:
1) The case is slightly too long for the phone. The top of the case that is around the keyboard is loose. Not just a little, but it looks like it wasn't even meant for this phone.
2) Like the mini-usb plug on the Hero's commuter series, the micro-usb plug on the Shift's commuter series doesn't want to stay in.
3) Since the back side is beveled and it's semi-hard to slide out, it sometimes takes a couple tries because it keeps slipping out of my hands.
Nit-picks:
1) Backside cover is off-center (flash/camera/speaker aren't centered in their respective cutouts)
2) No silicone on the front so when it's face down it slides around easily (compared to the hero which had silicone bumpers on the front)

It's does a very good job of covering up the phone and not being loose.
Got mine today, as wizputer noted the mini-usb isn't snug enough to remain in the port. Otherwise, very impressed with the design and construction of the case.
got mine in today, very pleased. although it was a little bit of a b*^&h to put on. After getting it on I noticed the usb plug being a pain, and the power button seems to need a lil extra force to actually click, but other than that love it. I feel safe now
Good review, disappointed, love my Otterbox's for my EVO and HD2. The split covers though, Shift and Tilt (from experience), just do not seem to provide the same kind of coverage but I do not know what else they could do to make them better.

Actually you just have to know how to make it stay there's a little trick to it when you close it. You have to kinda pull the thing up a little bit and then slide it in and stays. That's how mine works anyways ..

I just always wiggle the flap into the port, best case by far would definately recomend. ORDER FROM OTTERBOXS WEBSITE, when it first came out I tried it from amazon (it was $10 less) but the expected shipping date was in june.

Be careful with the otterbox guys, dropped mine for the first time today and 3 of the 4 clips to hold the back on broke, making the case absolutely useless..... waste of 30 bucks!

When. That happens call otterbox and they will no auestions asked replace it usually takes 1week shipping I've had 5 so fardo this and most recently they sent me 2x so I don't need to calll next timeill. Be prepared...love this company
Sent from my PG06100 using xda premium
+1 to that . They have like you said Replaced mine about 4x's. Never once asked for anything but my address. Best company ever . Have since bought Otter Boxes for all my Devices.
I got this case mid August, and about a week ago, I dropped it. While in free fall, the top of the case just fell off my phone and broke in half. Sad thing is, I dropped it from about 2 feet. But yes, I called it in, and they are sending me in another, just have to watch out for my phone a bit more! (At least I get to replace the screen protector, put it on kinda bad, XP
So I just wanted to start a thread for myself and anyone else who may want to read it
Basically anyone who has an otterbox case for the evo shift or has seen/used it or whatever just leave your opinions/reviews whatever. I am thinking of buying one so just wondering
I don't have one for the Shift but I've used an Otterbox on other devices and would recommend it if you have the slightest fear of damaging your handset.
I believe the last one I used was a Commuter which completely encased the handset and seemed to be able to take a hit. The back was too smooth for me so I had a little trouble re-learning how to hold it and the thickness of the handset increased significantly but overall it felt safe. Worth the extra money.
I am using the otterbox commuter case on my shift right now. I like it a lot. The fit and finish seems like it is completely a part of the phone. Only two complaints are:
1. If I try to move an icon from one hone screen to another, the piece covering the screen makes it difficult to move it to the "edge" - not a big deal, you learn to adjust.
2. When opening the slider, I hear a click sound, sounding like the little tabs holding the upper piece on are catching as it moves. Again, kinda not picky.
All in all, I think it is a great case and makes me worry a lot less about dropping my device. I would definitely recommend it.

Awesome seems like ill want to pick it up. I recently cracked the screen on my shift and made a few scuff marks so that's what seriously turned me to getting the case.

Tip for putting on the included screen protector...patience and a clean work surface! I couldn't get it to work well at first, then I ended up dropping it on the carpet. I was ready to give up on it until my wife took it from me and got it to work. So...if you have the patience of an ADHD kid on meth like I do...lol. It was my first screen protector too so. Anyways have fun!

definitely worth getting. i have the commuter series otterbox and it makes my phone look and feel like a beast. only thing that annoys me sometimes is the dust/lint that gets stuck to the rubber on the case, but i just blow it off.

I have one and love it! Top of the line case, looks good feels good and protects good! I would totally recommend it to anyone with a Shift!..

Just got the Commuter series and I'm a fan so far. Makes the phone feel more substantial and gives a better grip. The only issue was with the headphone and USB port covers, which didn't stay down. I just removed them, but DON'T Rip them off, it'll tear the rubber casing. Found that out on the USB port one so I cut the headphone one off. Either way makes the rubber a little loose around the port but not hugely annoying unless you're a perfectionist(which I can be). I'll just apply a little glue and seat it on the plastic frame.

Nope I can confirm that, being really careful you can take the back without any problem..
I Think that the front parts being hard to take off it's a good thing.
Had mine for 2 or 3 months now
Bought it from Amazon for like $25 when they finally came available for the shift and had to wait a month before I got it in hand.
I'm not as impressed as i would be with the protection if it was a defender case. I had the black case with fake carbon fiber and belt clip before. The otterbox commuter is better then that one, by how much I'm not sure.
I dropped my phone about a month ago. I don't know if it just hit the right place of the case, and the back case came flying off the phone, the side clips where busted off, so the back case would not stay on any more.
I decided to call up otterbox and see if it was under warr. and if they would replace it. AMAZINGLY they said YES so they shipped me a new one for free i didn't even have to pay shipping. NICE. It was quick and easy I thought that was soooo cool. Because of that i will continue to buy otterbox, and recommend them to others.
In future i hope to buy defender cases (better protection) which means no more slider phones which i think i am ready for now that touch screens are so much better. All my old phones have been sliders with full keyboards from back in the day with my old HTC t-mobile MDA, which made me find this site.
Thats my 2 cents.
Lasted me just abt six months of light regular use. It's still on this phone as i write and its protective capability is still almost all intact, but the plastic and silicone are both breaking down: Replacement time.
The plastic of both the inner case and the protective belt clip is somewhat brittle. The retaining tab on the belt clip that holds the phone in, snapped off after less than a month rendering the belt clip useless, as it wouldn't hold the phone anymore. The little snaps that clip the inner case halves together are beginning to go; two of them broke in the last couple weeks.
These both look to me like design issues where the characteristics of the material used weren't accounted for as well as they might've been.
The silicone is tearing in a couple places, around the volume button and one of the plastic nubbins that the belt clip tab clicks into. This last tear is progressing out to the edge of the case, another 3mm or so to go.
i liked this case; phone felt really safe with it. i liked the really tall lip around the screen that made the phone super-easy to hold, even as it made typing a bit of a challenge with the "keys" at the edge of the screen. This is a big plus as this isn't the easiest of phones to keep a safe grip on while using it.
The built-in screen protector isn't so hot as it let dirt get in at the top between it and the screen, and also doesn't contact the screen at one bottom corner so one has to press down with disproportionate effort there to get the touch to register. It's where the keypad is so slows down typing.
Overall i'm glad it's on the phone. It's big and heavy and clunky and keeps the device well protected from harm and easy to hold on to. It's also one of the costliest cases and i was hoping it'd last me at least a year: i'm a fairly careful guy too, don't beat mercilessly on my gadgets or anything.
Think i'll try the Ballistics SG case next.

-- This tall lip is a part of the polycarbonate hard inner case and the screen protector is glued to it at the bottom. Makes for a very secure thumb hold and i expect will be one of the features of this case i'll miss.

Note that only some AT&T stores will. It's manager discretion and some will be more agreeable to it than others.
Otterbox breaking clips
I have had the same problem with with my Otterbox box case, the small clipe that hold the plastic case close keeps breaking after i have to open it up to clean my screen on my HTC vivid. Because the top is open, I'm cleaning my screen a lot.
just contact the supplier through their site and tell them what happen, and they will send you a new case for free. I'm on my second case now. it seems that they know there is a problem with those fragile snaps.

Mine lasted over a year, and that's with frequently pulling it apart to pull the battery. Now half of the plastic clips that hold it together are gone, and the rubber flap for the USB port is starting to tear, almost ripping off. If you pay attention when taking it apart, it should last way longer than a year. My only gripe is its a bit bulky, not very pocket friendly.

I'm on my 2nd Replacement case as I have broke 2 belt clips within 2 months. Otterbox has been excellent about sending a replacement in both instances. I also removed the built in screen protector and have purchased a different one from Amazon. Overall the case has been decent. Happy with it for the most part. I still am using the actual case from the original but now a couple of the tabs have broken off the polycarbonate shell. Guess I will have to switch out for one of the replacements they have sent me. Unfortunately the belt clip seems to have been the most fragile part for my experience.
Wow i haven't used my otterbox defender, cause one of the clips, of the inside broke, the screen protector is almost gone (its broking) and the outer layer of silicone doesn't like, glue? Stick to the hard case!! I'm going to contact otterbox and see what they said! Thanks guys!!

No receipt required. The photo with the case and your name and today's date is all the proof of ownership they need. I finally sent my info in last night, got the reply email, emailed the photos and today got the email with the Order Confirmation. The only odd thing is that I put in my PO Box as my address, but the order PDF says it's shipping via FedEx. I wonder how it will work out.

Just file a warranty claim and sell the new one. I popped the screen protector out of my Defender got tired of not having it and emailed saying it fell out. Provided them with three pictures of the case and voila they approved it and shipped me a brand new one free of charge. Otterbox has some amazing customer service.

it's about screen protector and otterbox case, not morality and ethics. I think from all the Thanks, we know that most people would agree it is wrong to defraud a company no matter what, lets just leave it at that.
Lets up get back to the topic, and no one has yet answer my question, once you pop off the screen off the Defender, can you put it back on?

No. Serious answer.
If you do attempt to put it back on, you can glue it. If you really wanted it back on you can glue it. But forcing it out may bend / distort the screen protector. It's no good anyway.

When Otterbox sent me the Defender case free of charge when I originally bought the Commuter and it damaged my phones USB port can afford to give away free cases.

so that case, why not just get something like UAG + screen protector combo, seems to be a much better option since you can access the battery and SD card slot a lot easier.

Just stop. Xda locks threads where people explain how to commit fraud.
Let it go.

Their inaction is begging for this.

You DO realise that technically, that's fraud, right? People like you are why honest businesses struggle to make a profit.

And once they fix the problem, I think this would be a **** move. But since they've never addressed it for so long, I think it sends the right message.

A read in this forum, and actually in Amazon reviews for Defender, people use a hair dryer to soften the glue and remove it easily.
Regarding the whole thing with Otterbox and customer support, I had original Defender for a few days purchased from Verizon store. After quickly realizing the shortfall with that built-in screen protector, I contacted Otterbox directly and was explained that problems get resolved easily by them sending me email with claim number and me providing them back 3 pictures with a problem and/or additional small video clip (to show flex of screen protector). They told me that once you send the claim in, a replacement will be shipped to you and YOU have to send back the original case. My point, if you are not happy with a Defender, just return it back if you can rather than taking screen off and than gluing it back together which going to void warranty. In my case, I went back to Verizon store, tried 3 more Defender in there - all with the same issue, and just returned it back.
Regarding moral issues, so how about that "almost real" thread? I think I mentioned it in there a few times as a disclaimer that these come very handy when you want to modify Defender for extended battery and don't want to butcher your $60 case.
tried it on my other box and this works flawlessly... no more dust issue

Did you install the screen protector on the case, just around the edges, or on the phone?

just on the screen for now but i will do the rest of the phone later.
screen protector really does work. when it looks like smudges, air bubbles, or blemishes within a 48 - 72 hours they do all go away.
there was what looked like dust smudges which bummed me out but 2 days later ...completely gone.
CAUTION !!
i used the Spen and it leaves track marks. a few have disappeared but the more pressure you you put on the screen the deeper the marks look ... ill report back to see if they went away

Thanks, this is what I'm hoping to do. Remover the Survivor screen protector and use the full body version from this thread in conjunction with the rest of the survivor package. At least when I'm not running an extended battery.

its a nice semi custom job.
the great thing is IQ Shield offers lifetime replacements... all you do is pay for shipping which is more than fair since you get the screen protector for dirt cheap right now on amazon
ive already asked for a replacement just incase the spend marks dont go away
