What is the big deal with these? 50 bucks for a case.

In my experience with various phones and cases as well, no case protects like the otterbox. It adds a considerable amount of bulk, but it's well worth it. One of my friends will confidently throw his blackberry across the room (not saying it's a good idea for us, but just demonstrating) into a concrete wall without hesitation. It also gives the phone a better feel in my opinion. The silicone they use grips, yet is still pocket friendly in that it won't grip like cheap flimsy cases.
I, personally, plan on getting the Defender series.

As stated above the quality of their cases is fantastic. A lot of sales have to be built on confidence of past buyers because the price isn't always cheap but the product is worth it.
I've used their cases in the past and I'm glad to see they'll be supplying the Incredible as well.
I'll most likely be going with the Commuter because as much as I like protection I don't want to add to much bulk.

I have been waiting for this case since phone dropped. I ended up going with seidio rugged case and if you look on Amazon you can find it for $30

Had an Otterbox for my Eris, liked it...got the Incredible last week and got my Seidio rugged case (w/innocase II combo) this week and absolutely love it. Regular and rugged case, all part of the same!

seidio and otterbox are all i'll put on my phone. they make the best cases available. you get what you pay for.

Now we just need to wait another 3 months for them to actually go on sale.

Otterbox... when you're just that damn clumsy

I miss my otterbox case for my D Eris.

I just got my seidio innocase rugged and like it a lot but its not like the otterbox cases I have had. Hurry up Otterbox!

I'm struggling with the fact that they released a case for the LG Ally before the Incredible.

Just ordered mine!

I'm between the commuter and the defender. Can't decide.

is commuter easy to come off.. only had a defender prior

Check the pdf on the webpage. It shows the parts of the commuter. Looks like a silicone wrap and a hard polycarbonate shell. Should be much easier to remove than the defender.

Just ordered the commuter. I like that the commuter has the silicone between the hard shell and the phone. The defender is backwards. The hard plastic and the the silicone wraps over it.

Got the commuter.

Best Premium Max Protection Case

Looking at what is currently available and in development for the GN2, I'm wondering which of the premium protective "shock/drop absorbing" cases do you most prefer and why? The cases I feel best fit this category are (no particular order):
• Trident Aegis (Kraken won't be developed)
• Seidio Active
• Ballistic Shell Gel
• Otterbox Commuter
• Otterbox Defender
What Say You? Which do you prefer and why? If you already have one or experience with them for other devices, then please also share the info.

I'd probably go with a SGP screen protector and go with the Ballistic Shell Gel, Trident Aegis, or Otterbox Commuter. I don't think the Defender will be a great fit especially if you love having a smooth surface for the S-Pen. Seido's known for a loose fit and the metal concerns me. I love ballistic's drop protection (corners and lay flat). I've heard good things about trident cases and I'm gonna give them a shot. Otterbox has lived off its name these couple of years and has regressed in function and quality. For Now, I hope one of these inexpensive ebay/amazon cases do the job until I get a permanent case.

I've only ever owned an Otterbox Defender of all the tough cases. It was for my old evo 3d but I fully believed in it. It makes even tiny phones giant monsters so I can't imagine what it would do to out phone.
My friends thought it was huge too so to show them that it was worth putting my phone in for the hike we were on one day I literally tossed it down the trail downhill and showed them my phone was perfectly fine.

Which case? Trident, Seidio, UAG, Otterbox

I'm looking for a new case for my Note 2 and I have been researching a bunch of options. I really like the feeling of the HTC One X+ (HTC calls it Carbon) and would prefer that feel in a case. Less rubber and more matte feel. I have seen a lot of glossy backs which offer no good slip from the hand protection for such a big phone. Another note to mention is I am not wanting a Barely there style case or anything too thick like a defender case. With that said, here is my list.
Otterbox Commuter
Aegis Trident
Seidio Surface with Kickstand (worried about the two piece wearing out)
Urban Armor Gear Navigator
Any suggestions or experience with any of these?

Take your time to read through my reviews: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192333
I wish it would be a sticky in this forum for people to find it easier...

Its actually probably better that its not a sticky. So many people just overlook those all together. Especially considering on the xda app the stickies are in a different tab.
I do however use your reviews quite frequently when looking for new accessories and will find it wherever they put it haha

I actually really like the Seidio Surface. I got one when i first got my note and I have tried other cases including the otter box commuter and with texture and bulk in my oppinion i really like the Surface.

if you want to have access to the battery and SD card slot, avoid otterbox and others that use multiple pieces. Change battery would be a hassle if you have otterbox.
Personally I bought the UAG, it offers one of the best protection, the best looking and you can swap out the battery easily.

I have the Trident and the Commuter. While I find the commuter to be adequately protected, I feel like they missed the mark on unnecessary bulk and one very slippery outer shell. The Trident on the other hand suits my needs for size and protection. I have less protection with the Trident, but it's not as bulky and better to hold. The UAG looks like my next buy, but some say it seems too wide.

I just got my UAG Navigator last week after my first one was stolen/disappered from my mailbox, but that's a whole other story. Anyway I love this case, it's not too bulky or wide while still adding the protection I need. I'm a part-time crafter so I made my own insert cuz I wasn't really liking the ones that were included. I think you'd be very happy with the UAG case. I have the otterbox defender which is good for some situations but not everyday use for me. I also have the Trident case, I like it but the hot pink is starting to turn like a gray-blackish color on the edges which makes the case look dirty to me. Plus the tabs for the usb and earphone connections don't always go back like they're suppose to. Don't really know how to describe it, maybe someone from the forum who has one of these cases can better describe what I'm trying to say. I give the UAG case a 10+!!

I got the UAG and it works great. The left side however is a little squeaky. Very subtle so it doesn't bother me.

Case Show Down

As the title states, which case would you choose and why out of the three of them. Looking at the slim armor but want opinions from others who have any of them.

i have the slim armor soul black and the incipio teal blue case. i dont like the camera and button cutout on the incipio. they shouldve made it tighter and not so open. i havent opened the slim armor package yet to try it on due to waiting on my tempered glass screen protector, but it is a nice looking case. also spigen makes quality products ive ordered several cases from them in the past with no disappointments. the otterbox is just too big! (thats what she said) <--- get that out of the way. at least in my opinion.
so slim armor it is!

I had the commuter with my S4 and I liked it at first then tried on the Speck Candyshell and asked why I ever got the otterbox. It seems like there arn't as many choices with the G2 vs. the S4, might be cause of the whole VZW vs. others deal. I wanted to try the slim armor the first time around and I think i'm going to pull the trigger now that you mentioned that the Incipio isn't the best.
Thanks

Which case?

Looking for a case that's:
1. Rugged (at least decent shock impact)
2. Somewhat slim
3. Not too pricey
So far I'm torn between:

And

Anyone know which case or of another have the best combination of shock impact without being too thick?
Thanks.

I have the case from the first link you posted. I've had no problems whatsoever thus far. The belt clip is really secure and the silicon not only covers the phone but it serves as a border around the screen so if you drop it the screen won't even touch the floor really. The case is decent too. Definitely worth $13.

about how thick is the case?

It's not bulky. You can trust the reviews on amazon for the case. It's worth it especially for the price.

I have the otterbox defender series. Due to the design of the case, There's a bubble in the screen protector. I simply poped it out and replaced it with a zagg screen protector. Search ebay, I only spent $30. Still waterproof and my 3 kids literally throw my phone across the room and it's still in brand new condition

I almost went with the iBlason, but ended up going to Unicorn Beetle route. It's a nice case and I really like it. It's a tough TPU throughout with a polycarbonate slab on the back. Looks pretty nice and feels good in the hand--quality materials. The only thing is you have to shave the little inner button nubs off with a razor blade as the Amazon reviews mention.
Good luck deciding.

I own both, as well as just about every other case made for our phone...
I hate the i-Blason, and have since I took it out of the package. Nothing really wrong with it, just not my taste. Inner portion is too mushy, hard to slip it in and out of my pocket, and I don't think anyone would call it "thin".
For "thin and rugged" you are far better off with the SUPCASE. Also look at the TUDIA Ultra Slim Melody.
