Otterbox Cases

So, I sent an e-mail to otterbox regarding the future of otterbox cases for the NS and I haven't recieved a response back yet, but i'm sure with enough requests we could see a case soon! I asked specifically for a defender
Here's the link for the lazy among us
http://www.otterbox.com/on/demandware.store/Sites-otterbox_us-Site/default/CustomerService-ContactUs

just did
I just did. I want a defender too!

Just done.

done
I hope it will be available soon!

Would like to see an "Impact" series for the Nexus-S, I like the thinness of the impact, and the cool rubbery grip, without adding too much bulk.

Wow they responded to me in less than a minute here's their response " At this point 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 a lot. I would say to keep an eye on our website, as it will have the most up to date information on any new releases that we may have."

emailed, lol!

lol they are getting tired of our emails! Keep it going!

My Evo's defender was the worst piece of garbage I've ever seen excused for a case. Worst quality control and customer service I've experienced in recent years. Did not email. The vast majority of people on the Evo forums have had terrible experiences, and most of the feedback is crap. Otterbox used to kick ass, not so much anymore.

The Otterbox defender for my Nexus one was the best case EVER (and I had a commuter, tough case and a seido innocase II) Great quality and great protection

Yeah my old defenders for iPhone and N1 rocked socks. My Evo's case had a crack and broken kickstand in less then 12 hours. Without dropping it once. Just normal use and setting it down. Honestly the worst case I've ever used. From what I've heard, the rest of otters Evo cases were ok, but apparently their redesigning the defender due to "design issues" but they still wouldn't refund or replace mine.

Incipio are making cases

Hi Folks,
I emailed Incipio last week to see if they intended making covers for the N7 like they do for the Ipad and they emailed me back last night to say they are releasing a range of products but no details are available yet, but to keep an eye on their website and there should be info there soon. Would really like a Incipio feather case for my 7 along with a smart cover..
Hopefully in the next few weeks we'll have more info
Cheers,
Mick

Hope they make the legend case! Its the best case I've seen so far

These cases are amazing. I've Put some cash aside for when these are released. Even the international shipping seems reasonable. I'm surprised there isn't more mention of these on the forum rather than all the cheap plether bulky rubbish everyone seems to like! No accounting for taste!

Any updates on this?

I got this response from them yesterday. I did ask about which specific cases might be available but no details yet.

Thank you for your follow up email. We do have plans to be making cases for the Nexus 7, however they’re currently in development so we do not currently have an estimated release date for the cases. I apologize for any inconveniences, however if you have any other questions, feel free to let us know.

Kind Regards,

Exactly. Google is selling tons of these things and it's been over a month now. I want to give my money to anyone that comes out with a "tank" case but no one is stepping up to the plate.

Maybe it's because lots of friggin people want to friggin buy them?
...or maybe it's because one size fits all and so it's easier to get one to market early.
No company can set up, tool up and manufacture quality products at the drop of a hat never mind them wanting to make sure there's going to be a sustainable market for it.
I realise that moaning is one of the US national pastimes but these forums are international and believe me it gets very old very quickly having to trawl past all these whinging posts to try and find the good stuff.

sweet looking forward to getting one

i agree with this. i also believe google announced the tablet and released it 2-3 weeks later and didn't work with anyone on accessories. perhaps it was to generate sales of their case, but the consumer got screwed. i'm not a fan of the asus case. from day one i wanted a leather case and over a month later, i'm still limited in my choices becasue companies are still working on their cases. i emailed marware last week and they still said 4-6 weeks.

OMG can this come any sooner?? :crying:

$30 for a sleeve? Are you guys seriously melting over this?
Talk about low standards.
Incipio makes decent cases, but they're always way overpriced. I got the N7 because of its value, and this is going to carry over with my accessories for it. If I wanted to overspend, I would have gotten an iPad.

Urban Armor Gear Petition

I thought I would start a petition thread for all you Urban Armor Gears lovers out there (including me ).
Maybe we can just leave our XDA usernames, countries, for a Urban Armor Gear.
I love the Urban Armor Gear on my Galaxy S3 and it would be nice to have a equal one on the Galaxy Note 2 !
Then I can either send Urban Armor Gear this link or put all the names from here, and then send it to them.
Pro:
-Good protection
-slim and light
-functional
-good colors
-NFC still works
-unique and masculine
Contra:
-Not aviable for Galaxy Note 2
Here are some pictures of they're S3 Version:

Those look pretty sweet

Just watched a video review of the S3 one on youtube, it looks like a really well made case. I'd consider buying one but it looks like it'll make an already rather large phone even bigger.

UAG Response
Hello All,
I left a message for Urban Amor Gear asking about plans for a Note 2 case. Here is their response:
Hi Daniel,
Thanks for reaching out. We value customer feedback and take input from individuals such as yourself very seriously. Currently, we have no plans to release a composite case for Samsung Galaxy Note 2s; however, the landscape of our product road is a constantly evolving picture and this product may become an option for us in the future.
Cheers,

Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

I've realized that their business model is focused on the iPhone. I, too, got a response saying they have no plans... so by the time they get around to tooling their systems to make a case, it'll be too late. Happy I have one on my S3 tho, it's a neat design, especially in the little details.

bump. I want this case so bad.

I sent them about 2 emails last week and got the "if there's enough people wanting it, we'll start thinking about making it". I think even if we finally draw their attention, a case wont be available to purchase till February or so.

I want.

I was almost to buy the gs 3 to buy good cases ! Pathetic ...I know ... But cant help to notice so many cases For I-P#[email protected]$ and almost nothing for the rest of the BIG THINGS out there .... THIS one PLS make it for all those ppl who love good cases and want one .

This is an amazing case. I have a black one on the S3 I'm typing this on and I'd love to see UAG start making them for the N2. I'm probably picking up a N2 this week, and this would be the go-to case for it.

Diztronic will not produce Note II cases

Email received a couple minutes ago:
Hi T.J.,
I'm glad to hear that you've been happy with our products! Unfortunately, we aren't making one for the Note 2. We lost quite a bit of money on the first Note as the sales were pretty terrible for it, so we decided to sit this one out. Sorry!
Best,

Kinda upset by that, actually. I absolutely love their cases--best TPUs out there, regardless of price.

You can find similar matte TPU cases on ebay, not that disappointing IMHO but to each their own.

Poor decision IMO, but I saw it coming when there wasn't anything at release. I stopped taking diz seriously when I saw the quality of my case for my EVO LTE. I stopped sending that small time outfit my money a while ago, I'll stick with Cruzerlite, or rather go eBay then send them anything in the future.. lol, I think the OG Note sold millions internationally in the first weeks of sales.. Samsung just released a comment that claims the Note II will triple that pace.
Terrible sales and inventory fails are nobodies fault but their own IMO.
*Edit - and just like that Cruzerlite has saved the day! http://www.cruzerlite.com/cases/sam...dified-a2-tpu-case-for-samsung-galaxy-note-ii

Thanks for this info. Good to know that I shouldn't wait on Diztronic.
I think this is a bad decision for them. Note II will definitely sell more, being on all the major US carriers: AT&T, Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile. (Note 1 originally released only on AT&T). Plus, there's huge marketing campaign Samsung has these days. Including the 60 and 90 second Lebron James commercials.
I really liked their cases for S II and S III. I will seek out a similar product from another company.

Well thats sad to hear. I have a matte black diztronic tpu case on my 717 and its awesome. I get compliments on it all the time.
Going with a clear case tho, I dont wanna hide the pretty titanium grey color by covering it up with a case.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app

Oh well, their loss. I've had Diztronic cases on the last 4 of my phones. Ended up going with the Cruzerlite this time around since I didn't see any Diztronic. You win some, you lose some.

Hmm, I wonder if they thought it through. The Note 1 was only on AT&T so I can see why there was limited sales. However, the Note 2 is on all 4 major carriers and they are all the same stylewise(except for small cosmetic differences on the T-Mobile one I think).

I tried talking to them on 10/24 and they gave me the same BS. best you can do is email them here
http://tpu-cases.com/support/open.php?

As of today, this is the response I have received:
"We initially were not going to make a Note 2 case, but we have gotten a ton of requests for it so we are now considering it. Unfortunately we are busy working on some other models at the moment. If we do end up making a Note 2 case the soonest we'd have them ready is the start of December. Thanks for your interest!"

I'm pretty sure they missed their chance with most.. Pretty foolish of them to counter now IMO so late in the game. I bet they'll be unhappy with the sales again and likely blame the device again. For the few consumers that didn't buy anything yet, maybe they'll have a chance. I for one already got my Cruzerlite cases and couldn't be happier, much better molding process compared to my diz cases from my LTE.
Plus if anyone is looking for black then look at this http://www.cruzerlite.com/cases/sam...r-cyanogenmod-case-for-samsung-galaxy-note-ii
Cruzerlite + CyanogenMod + Note II = WINNING!

Thats really nothing like the diztronic case. That case offers minimal/no protection (only the back). The diztronic covered all sides and had a lip.

Seidio listing "Google Nexus 6" in requests area on site. Cases/Accessories to come?

Seidio listing "Google Nexus 6" in requests area on site. Cases/Accessories to come?
Awhile back during my investigation on the Next Nexus phone I went searching through Accessory/Case makers hoping that they would give me any information/potentially leak information on the Nexus 6.
Ultimately I found Seidio referencing the Google Nexus 6 in their requests page http://www.seidioonline.com/Articles.asp?ID=303
Hopefully they will be releasing cases soon for the N6, what would you guys like to see? Personally I am hoping for one of their durable cases since the one I had for my N4 protected it for the entire time I had the device. Hopefully we will not have to wait long for cases to come out!

seidio drives me crazy. iphone 6 comes out and they have every case under the sun ready to ship the day the damn thing is ANNOUNCED. google releases nexus info (including specs) and you get crickets from them. here, fill out this request form and wait

Moto x 2014 is listed in request area too, but they've confirmed on Facebook to me that there is no current plan to support.

I hate apple, but they are king of accessories. Guaranteed millions of sheep will buy their phones.

UPDATE
I was able to contact Seidio awhile ago on the matter and today they responded! https://plus.google.com/+LouKohn/posts/bR1i8TmdFQy
From post reply:
"While we don't have any finalized plans for accessories for the Nexus 6 yet, I will be sure to forward the interest in these products on to our product development team."
Hopefully it means we will be seeing something come down the pipe in the near future for the N6!

So just like the note 3, cases will come out 3 months later.

i find it fascinating that i have to tell a company to make cases for a phone that nobody is able to keep in stock. sold out on 2 different days via google in 0.5 seconds and today sold out on motorola's site in less than 5 minutes. and all this at $650-$700. if they need me to request that they make cases for it then they are incredibly stupid and don't deserve my business...

Being sold out because you sold 5 million in a couple days is different than being sold out because Google doesn't know how to do retail launches. I would imagine it is quite difficult to gauge how much interest there will be in this phone after the initial sales.

perhaps, but it doesnt change the fact that this is a flagship release and their lack of support is dubious. take a look at their site. they offer cases for just about every phone in the universe on there. but nexus 6 which is launching on all 4 carriers they have to wait and see? beyond lame

I have used the Platinum brand case from Best Buy a few times on some of my older phones(it's been a couple of years). Those were just re-branded Seidio Surface cases. That's not a bad thing though. The case and holster were much cheaper at Best Buy than on Seidio's website. So, unless it's different now, you won't see a Nexus 6 Platinum case without seeing a Nexus 6 Seidio case first.
