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 haven't had a problem opening the slider at all.
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!..
I use it on my shift, and have had them on two other phones. Like everyone else said, its a great case, and really does look like a part of the phone.

I'm now on my second otterbox after a free factory replacement, my only nit pics are the usb port cover doesn't stay closed, and it clicks everytime I open it, feels like one of the clips is catching....

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.

I have that case in red without the sleep wake magnet. I decided to order a TPU case recently, and a slip cover plus a car mount. Folio cases make it harder to mount in the car which I actually like to do, oddly enough. GPS is excellent on the N7.

Yeah $60 would never have happened. My tablet normally hangs around the house so the Moko case seems a bit overkill for me. And hopefully the clips hold it in.

It's a Kindle Fire. Looks like the other cases out now.
Poetic makes the same one for a few dollars more. Looks like this is the cheapest one. I'm ordering.
Long live the One X
MoKo, Bluerex, and a few others are making what appears to be the exact same case for a few bucks more. Did they skimp on materials, or are they identical. Warranties? Anyone know? I would think they are all buying them from the same manufacturer, so I'm curious how these guys sell foll less than half the others.
Hey, thanks for posting that! That's exactly what I'm looking for (a case that doesn't completely cover the bezel, has multiple angles, and cheap). I just pre ordered mine as well, and will be using it until Speck releases their FitFolio for the Nexus.That's the case I ultimately want, but this $5.00 case looks like it will hold me over just fine for now.

These guys probably bought a large quantity from the manufacturer and probably got a big discount which equals best price for the consumer. Makes sense no?

Depends how much profit they want to take. You can look these cases up on alibaba to see where they come from - the manufacturer is happy to emboss a logo on the front to make it look branded. I wouldn't be surprised if there were a couple of different factories ready to supply the same basic design, but doubt there'll be much difference in quality.
[Edit: I can't find this design on Ali Express at the moment, but similar cases are running for around $6-7 in lots of 20-50, so $4.99 is getting pretty close to the base manufacturer price.]
Wow, I am so annoyed with amazon's shipping. Not the first nice case I've found, and for such a nice killer price too that won't ship to Canada. The case concept is exactly what I'm looking for. I found this one that ships to Canada branded by i-bason, but it's 24 bucks with shipping though looks the same. I'm debating either ordering that or waiting until more 'look alike' cases appear on amazon that ship to Canada.

Yeah, very strange. Thanks for the link. I think I'll see if anyone else gets this branded case before jumping in. Like you said, there is almost no profit for EXOTEK, and that doesn't even include shipping/transport for them. Something seems off about the price. For not much more, there is a bit more peace of mind I think.

This is almost identical to the ViperTEK case I had for my Tab 8.9 which I loved. I just pre-ordered this as well. Looks like it has a magnetic as well for on/off functionality which is a bonus. Thanks for posting this.
Looks like they raised the price to $8.99 + $4.99 shipping...
I checked my invoice to be sure, and sure enough it's still at $4.99 and no shipping charges. Maybe a mistake on their end by having that original price, or they saw the orders coming in and thought they could make a few more bucks by raising the price?

He also mentions how you get a discount by using his name at the checkout.

Not sure if it would add too much bulk
Pricing with shippingmmakes it quite expensive for us international buyers
I've been using it for about a week now, and haven't regretted that decision. It's definitely a must if you're using your N2 a lot with single hand. I'm still waiting for Aduro case to release their awesome kickstand case that they had for the GSIII:

I've been on the fence with this since i saw a video review of these a few weeks ago. I am horrible about ordering things online. I search the heck out of them and then never buy anything. I really like to see things in person.
I really like the idea though. Seems like it would really make the phone more comfortable for me. I have the flip cover and i usually have one finger between it and the back of my phone which gives me a pretty secure grip but after a few minutes my poor finger starts to feel smashed back there.
Maybe i should just break down and go for it. I could use the free case for testing the mod for using a tpu case with the flip cover.
So indecisive....

Too bad they had super expensive shipping to Sweden
Sent from a big Note 2
I got one. The guy is real easy to deal with. I had to swap mine from white to black since Tmobile had no white Note2s. He did it without issue. I carried my phone for a week w/o the clip and now about a week with the clip. I find its a nice bonus. I mostly use it when I'm relaxing and holding the phone at odd angles. Its great for that, very secure. In day to day use I don't really use it since my TPU case has really good grip already.
I had my phone for almost a week before I got my flygrip. In my opinion it makes the phone much easier to use one handed. I have maybe slightly above average hands and I can reach the whole screen easier with it. The stand feature is very nice too. I have mine on a body glove and feel extremely confident I have a very secure grip on my phone when using it. Weird angle gripping is much easier as well. I would recommend one for the GNII 100%
Regurgitated From My Giant Note II
What time curious about is how easy it is to transfer between cases or devices. I saw a video of somebody removing the FlyGrip and it looked to be some super adhesive material.
How resuable is it exactly?
Edit: Took a closer look and looks like you could grab a pack of 3 replacement adhesives. Was really excited for it despite the price since you could say it's justified with the TPU case throw in....but unfortunately the shipping code "QBKING77" is limited only to the States. Really disappointed since I'll have to pass just based on the shipping costs.
Sent from my GT-I9100M
I had one on my Sensation, and am awaiting new adhesive, but I LOVE my Flygrip. Thing is simply amazing. I didn't think that I would get 30 bucks worth out of thin cheap plastic, but I've been sorely tempted to pickup a second one for my tablet. Also, they have pretty good customer support, I've called three times, and it's always the same guy that answers. I actually prefer this to the kickstand cases because of the one handed grip support. I can't text on my bike without it, especially with this phone. I'll upload a couple pictures as soon as I get my sticky backs

I just took mine off of my Sensation, and it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. It took some forcing to actually begin to remove it, as it is really pretty damn strong, but once I got it separated from the old case it was simple enough to just rub the remaining residue away. It does leave a very clean rectangle on whatever case you put it on after removal lol.

So emailed FlyGrip with some questions. Response was very quick, not to mention a nice surprise with the great customer service!
" .... Additional tape provided”, are there extra adhesive tapes in each FlyGrip package? Or that we would have to buy the pack of 3 if we were interested in replacements?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Flygrip comes with (1) extra adhesive. So after you remove it, you can put the new adhesive on.* "Some" people try using the existing adhesive.* It depends on how sticky it still is.* We recommend to use a new one, but sometimes the adhesive is sticky enough to reuse.* We sell (3) packs for $2.47.

Also, a shot in the dark but I'm wondering if you do happen to have any promotions going on for international shipping (namely to Canada) as the FlyGrip was something I was immediately excited for, only to see the cost of shipping.

I asked my manager. You can USE "INTL5" as a code, to receive $5 off shipping.

Tl;dr Each FlyGrip has one extra adhesive, and use INTL5 for $5 off international shipping.

Looks great but $30 is a lot for what it is. I'll wait for the cheap eBay HK version
Love my FlyGrip. I enjoy knowing I'm not going to drop the phone, but I really purchased it because I'm an ex-EVO user and knew I'd miss the kickstand. I use it as a kickstand whenever the phone isn't in my pocket. Right now I'm using the free case that was included, but I'll take it off in a few weeks. I usually don't go for bold colors, but got the blue kickstand and a royal blue case. Nice looking.
He has lots of videos on the site to help with making a decision. Oh, no, it doesn't add bulk, it's only 1/4" deep. USA made and the packaging is very good looking, would make a great gift.
I think it's a smarter decision to look at these.

Much cheaper, and they look more versatile.
Hopefully this is a sign of more official accessories to come.

It came to just over £30 in the UK. 3 - 5 Shipping days. Can't wait!

It doesn't cover the back of the device, or the corners. Much better 3rd party cases already available.

I like the concept of not covering the back, but I agree it should fold. It´s seems prety rigid, making it even somewhat uncorfortable to hold the tablet. I will wait for some reviews and photos around here.

Same here, its a crap design for $30. I'm going to stick with the poetic case. Id prefer something that just covered the front (im not clumsy) because the tablet is so thin and light and then folds into a stand but this isnt it.
Don't think anyone else has mentioned this yet. Save up to 86% Just bought a Nook 360 Stand for Nook HD for a fiver delivered. Was £34.95. Not bad! Also other accessories like screen covers and power leads on sale.

No doubt. I guess it's only fair though. They always pay way more than us bloody Yanks from across the pond- right, mate?
The Lautner covers are really nice.
At least we can get the Poetic case from Amazon for 5 bucks. It's not too shabby.

Lol. Yeah. I was kinda wanting to go with the Groovy (in blue).. like having the option to use it as a stand for video and reading on breaks. Guess I'll have to check out some of the Amazon ones. Only thing I noticed on most of those is they all seem to have that frame around the sides of the screen.. not sure if I'd like that. Does the auto sleep thing work ok with those? (I currently just have a sleeve I keep mine in that slides into a pocket in my shoulder bag, but I think a case/cover might be better.. less parts to have to deal with. Lol)

The cheap Poetic case can be found here: http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-StrapBack-Protective-Function-Manufacturer/dp/B00AAKLDN8.
I hate cases that cover the bezel. This one fits the bill, has the magnetic on/off, and does well as a stand. (side rant: I never understood manufacturers who place the inside surface of a cover on a table when in stand mode. Great way to pick up all sorts of debris and possible scratches. This one doesn't do that, thankfully.)
I'm happy with it. Looks sleek when closed. One potential caveat : it will have that new car smell for a week or so. Didn't bother me, but may some. I would have been happy with this case for 4x the price.
By the way - While I highly recommend this for the HD+, I just as highly don't recommend it for the HD. Given the way the HD is made, it will have possible problems.

Cheers for the heads up on this Just ordered the 360 degree HD+ case and matte screen protector.

Ahh OK. Hadn't really noticed that one for some reason. I had been looking at these: http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-Slimline-Portfolio-Manufacturer-Warranty/dp/B00B20N9XW Which, as you you mentioned have you putting at least part of the inside cover against the table. While the only time I'll probably be using the stand feature is at work.. those break room tables can definitely be nasty at times.
Actually now that I look at it, I remember why I'd skipped over this one, there seemed to be several complaints on Amazon of this cover damaging people's Nooks??
The Nook HD version can damage your device. The HD+ one is fine.

Really disappointed in the Lautner case. Adds a lot of bulk and not anywhere near as light as I expected. Luckily it was only £5,the original £35 is daylight robbery.
Thanks for the heads up, picked up two USB cables and chargers for less than the price of one (planned to get one anyway and handy having a spare).
they don't ship oversea (from B&N-UK-website to France/Belgium/Netherlands...)
They do from B&N-US-website, but the prices are higher and the shipment cost also (which is logical: US -> EU)
I've just ordered a Nook HD+, to start reading/try annotating texts on a tablet, thanks to their current low prices (I had to look for a place shipping overseas). It's a pitty I can't do the same with the accessories. Well, I'll have to look further for those. Or maybe see if no one I know is going to the UK anytime soon

Aaaand then there was one. Thanks for spotting that @adam_ky ! Sure beats the $32 "clearance" one I found at Wal-Mart. Lol
I'd been watching eBay and Amazon hoping for just such a find but since eBay's search ignores the "+" I found myself using 9 in the search terms to narrow it down.. this one flew right under the radar. Had $18 in my PayPal account from Ebates so this one will be free!
Nice.

Glad to help. I have found ebay to be the best solution when searching for a good deal on a case. I only have the hd not the plus but i really like the groovy case looks good and works nice. I hope you like it.

I'm liking it a lot actually. Works good, not a ton of options for angles, but you only really need two anyway, ya know? I love the auto sleep/wake feature too.. the cover keeps it from coming on in my backback and draining the battery down. And it looks very nice, not cheap and plasticy.
eBay is definitely my first stop, then Amazon, then from there I go poking around the different sites .. but I'd say 99% of my online purchases are either from eBay or Amazon.
Why UK only?
Can someone buy me some things and ship them to Germany?
