What is the next best alternative to the Otterbox Defender HD2 for total rugged protection? Cannot seem to be able to find stock anywhere for the T-mobile HD2. And if I can find some, it is at a ridiculous price around $80-100
That's because OtterBox stopped supporting the HD2, now if you have one and it needs RMA they ask you to send them a copy of the receipt and they refund you the money paid.
I've got a Tmobile US HD2 Otterbox Defender case I'd probably be willing to sell. I got it a while back, but have only used it a few times cause I prefer my leather case... so it's in like-new condition still. Probably even have it's retail packaging laying around somewhere.
I think I payed around $40 for it when I got it, so considering I haven't hardly used it, I'd like to make my money back on it. I can take some pictures if anyone's interested.

Hi, I got a nexus one second hand and the person didn't have the sleeve that comes with the phone.
So i called htc and got transferred about 5 times until I got to a rep that told me to go to the htc store to buy one. I then told her that it isn't available there because its not an accessory it comes with the phone :S
After trying to get her to understand the situation she still only could recommend the online store.
I was wondering if anyone know where I could get one? I looked on ebay and none is selling it so any help would be great.
Thanks
I use a hard transparent case, which protects very well and looks great.
Only drawback is the phone will not fit in docks. Also the case will crack if dropped, so buy a couple. They're cheep, and the phone stays flawless.
I have a transparent flexible plastic and a silicon one. Silicon I think is better but love the transparent one. It makes my N1look good.
He is asking for the neoprene sleeve that came with the N1... not some after market cases. Try this http://www.nexusoneforum.net/forum/...you-can-get-replacement-sleeve-nexus-one.html
ummm... http://shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40&_trksid=p3907.m570.l1313&_nkw=neoprene+oem&_sacat=See-All-Categories its definitely available. Question is whether you want to pay for it or not lol
Awsome, I was searching Nexus One Sleeve and nothing came up.
For $5 I'll def be ordering one.
I was reading up a little and aperently the ones on ebay are not as good as the original but for $3 I'm gonna give it a shot.
HTC no longer sells them :S
I bought one of the 'Official' ones from Hong-Kong ebay and it's just as good as the original if it is indeed a fake. For a couple quid you can't lose

Exactly, plus it comes with 3 screen protectors lol
I will throw this out there for anyone interested in a otterbox defender, I ordered a defender case for my photon and it mistakenly came in a Droid bionic defender box. More than likely Bionic is getting a defender.

There will indeed be one. I work @ a VZW corporate store, and we got a Defender series for launch.
It's actually rather interesting. It's the first Defender that I can recall with a smooth silicon outer covering, as opposed to the textured feel on the X, X2 & iPhone 4.
It's nice, but seems like it might be a little harder to grip in/out of pockets...I guess time will tell
Will there be any blue colored cases available at launch? Or am I stuck with hitting up eBay and the like for one?
It would be nice if they would make one for the extended life batteries. I haven't seen one yet that they have.
I picked one up at VZW for 37 and some change last night. Amazon does not have them yet but otterbox even has them on there site for 49.99. But your best bet would be to go to the VZW store and see what kind of deal they can work out. I think i got like 35% off the 49.99.
Hopefully it's better than the defender for the Atrix. Not impressed with it at all! The silicone cover is really loose, which causes it to snag on things and try to pull off. I emailed them about it and got a replacement, but it's just as loose. I have a Ballistic HC case in the mail right now. Hopefully it's better than the otterbox.
Otterbox had a Defender and a Commuter available at launch. Only the Defender was available from Verizon yesterday. I'd love to get a commuter, but I don't want to have to pop the cover every night to dock the phone.
Confirmed.
See if you can get a deal if you get one in-store, a lot of places will give you a % off.
I have it and I HATE it...added TONS of bulk to the phone and can't use with the extended battery

Otterbox hates extended batteries.
And why is the commuter series never with a holster? That's the one I want cause it's thinner and the plastic makes it easier to slip in/out of the pocket but I need a holster for work. Sigh.....
Did you folks who got a discount buy it with your phone? I went to three stores trying to buy the case only, and no one would offer a discount unless I bought a phone, too.
I bought mine from the store and did not buy a phone.
For those complaining about the bulk and size of the defender are missing the point. The case is to the the best protection money can buy. I feel it is.
My 1 tiny, small problem with the defender is the charging port opens to the wrong side. Hdmi (used less) is easy to plug in while mini usb (used much more) is more difficult to plug in.

See, I like more bulk/weight to my phone... Are you happy with it? Is the holster easy to use? Also, my friend had one for the Atrix, and he said it slid up and down because it wasn't a tight fit. Any truth to this? Thanks
i honestly don't use the holster, but clicking it in and out just testing it, there's zero play.
i love the case and would recommend it to anyone.
Gotcha. Glad to hear if I'm going to be dropping $49.99 on a case for my phone...
I purchased the Defender Series on day one at my local VZW store but after having it for almost a week I can easily say it is way too bukly for my liking. The rubber outsole is also a major pain for me for two main reasons. The first is that it likes to stick to my pockets making it hard to take out or put back in, and second all the fuzzies and lint in my pocket stick to it. Also never used the holster.
I ordered the Commuter Series and hopefully it will be here by the end of the week so that I can return my Defender case.
Just picked up my Bionic and Defender case from Best buy about an hour ago.
I went in there yesterday looking at it since its $249 and no tax here. They didnt have anything in stock as far as accessories went. I told them I would think about it since Costco had a pretty good deal on it as well. Well I decided i liked the sound of the Buy Back Program they offered so I went for it. They were trying everything yesterday to make up for such a great deal at Costco.
I went back in today and low and behold they just unboxed 3 Defender cases. I told them I wanted to keep the price under $300 for everything so the assistant manager came out and told me he would do the Phone for $200 and then sell me the black tie with buy back and also the defender for $289. I couldnt pass up paying $289 out the door for this setup so I took it. I am more than happy with my purchase today.
I ended up getting my case at VZW store with a nice little discount from a friend. Its a perfect fit with the belt clip no play at all. Solid feel similar to the xoom case. Although its bulkier than most cases you know your phone will survive almost anything.

What do you mean "play"?
Also, to the person complaining about the outter case attracting lint, that's why you keep it in the holster and one of the reasons I'm moving towards it. The lint is already creeping in my phone so I want to keep it out.

Forgive me if this is against forum policy, but I'm looking for an HTC incredible case for my wife's phone. I figured someone here might have one they bought and don't like as much as another or something like that.
If you have one, I may be willing to buy it or at least pay for shipping + a little beer money.
Just reply if you have something with the make/model of case.
Thanks.
I don't have anything for you, but just wanted to point out that you can get cases for pretty cheap on amazon.
If you're looking for the silicone type, here's a black one for $1.99+free shipping and here's a pink one for $0.94 + $2.97 shipping, but there's plenty more.
If you're looking for one of those 2-piece shell-type cases, I think this white one looks kinda nice with the contrast to the black phone, $3.25 + Free Shipping.
You can get one of the "official" Verizon ones for pretty cheap too: $4.27 (prime shipping).
So yea, Amazon has a lot of inexpensive options. This is just a small subset.
I do, if you don't find what you're looking for on amazon or whatever. I have one or two that I had bought, before I bought my otterbox, that I use. If you're interested then shoot me a pm, and I'll take a pic for ya or something. It's been laying in my desk drawer for a year and a half. You cover shipping and that's adequate.
I have 3 diffident types and would recommend the silicone. They make it hard to fumble the phone but if you do, even the glass will be well-protected. The lens cover is protected when you set the phone down and the buttons are easier to push than the other types. Also very easy to get off to change the battery. Batteries are also very cheap on Amazon and are slightly bigger.

why so exepsnive? Because of shipping?
These cases are the best ones i've seen yet! I love the design of the surface where it is two different pieces like some iphone cases. The kickstand is nice too (wish could be in portrait mode)... but i guess only the black color is shipping? Anyone know when the other colors will be available?
bump ?
where does Seidio ship from?
Seido is in Houston TX. Was going to order with over night shipping with fb10 and total would of been $79. lol I just couldnt do it. Buyers remorse was sitting in before i could even press send. I will buy the case when they send them to Best Buy's under the name PT, or price goes down on website.

I am with you. We pay tax in Texas as well. You need a 20% off coupon to make it worth it. I have bought the cases off of Amazon and mobilecityonline for less after they have been out for a few weeks.
I got my case today!!!!!! I probably could have waited but I hate not having a holster and I love the design of the seidio holsters. I do however wish I would have got the surface case instead of the active because of the rubber they use. Everything such as lint and dust stick to it.

Oh yea after a few weeks it goes down to like $40. And best buy will have them for $40 as well. I like buying from best buy although i have a Amazon Prime membership, because my belt clip always breaks 3-4 months down the road. Best Buy always let's me exchange it. Also anyone getting this case i would go with the Surface case. The Active will really look like your holding a tablet to your head lol. I bought both many times for smaller phones. The active case is a rubber piece that goes over the surface case and then and hard plastic piece that goes on top of that lol

Actually the active case is not very big at all. It is slightly and i mean slightly bigger than the surface case.
thinking about purchasing the surface combo..its $57 total /w shipping after using the fb10 code
my question is...for anyone that has it already...is it crazy to have a phone this size on your hip? i carried all my previous phones on a belt clip but im wondering if it would look or feel really weird to have an almost tablet attached to your hip

I use that on my belt to carry my Note II around. It's so big that it it looks like I have a purse or wallet on my hip. It looks absolutely ridiculous and I care not one bit lol. And really it only looks big because of the size of the leather pouch itself. If the phone was in a case and holster, I don't think it would look bad at all. I hate having a phone in my pocket. I've been dying for a Seidio Surface case + holster, but at $60 shipped, I'm going to wait until it hits $40 at Best Buy or Amazon.
lol...im sure people are gonna be like what the....when they see it
i remember seeing a guy with a gigantic case + holster combo one time..im assuming it was the note 1...it looked really crazy
it stuck out like a sore thumb...as soon as i saw it i pointed it out to my friends..and they all already noticed before i said anything
so im assuming im gonna look crazy with it on my belt..i just picked up the note 2 tonight...im not sure if i can get used to the size...the screen size yes (that part is amazing) but carrying it around is my concern
So how else would you carry it? For myself, I'd be worried about messing it up in my pocket, plus I'd think it would be pretty uncomfortable.

I keep mine in my pocket all the time. It fits in my pocket better than my Amaze, it doesn't turn sideways in jeans or my slacks/suits.
I just make sure I don't have anything that can damage the phone in the same pocket. I also put it in my pocket with the screen facing my leg.

i dont know..for me the holster is really the only option that i want
many people put it in their pocket (honestly..idk how)...others buy the tablet-like cases and carry it as a tablet
girls can easily put it in their purses...as a guy i really dont have any ideas..which is why im hoping that buying a seidio combo works for me
Anybody know where I can pick up a black one for cheap? Cheapest I found was $19.95. Trying to save some money. I just want it for work because my main case is going to be the UAG scout. Thanks
Sent from a galaxy note 2 far far away...
Why not keep UAG as the only case? It will offer both style and protection, all around the day. Also, keep in mind, no matter how great UAG is going to be (I'm waiting for Navigator as well), taking it on'n'off every single day along with an alternative case will wear it's off sooner or later. A cheaper and more flexible TPU case will have a greater longevity, but obviously less protection. I'm just guessing UAG will be more rigid and after constant on and off might form cracks.
Regarding Trident, $19 is probably the best you can get until Note 3 is released, unless if they are slow sellers and have special one-day promo deal.
Since you are saying you trying to save money, I would just stick to one case

True about the taking it on and off part. I mainly want it because its ridged and has dust covers. I had the commuter but I didnt like it. The Aegis seems like a decent case. So I guess $19 is pretty cheap but I wanted to push it . I will keep in mind your suggestion. I hope to get my UAG next week. It would be a great birthday present to myself
