Nice case for the droid/milestone.

Nice case. I liked my BG case, but the tabs keep wearing down. After the 3rd replacement, I went naked again.
Thanks for the pictures! I want to buy a case for my Milestone, but I'm not sure which one to go with..
I hear Seidio and InvisibleShield are not bad either, would you have any experience with them?
About the Otterbox, does it add much bulk to the device? I like the size of my phone as it is, but I don't know if I'd like it a lot bigger. And how is the feel of the case?
Also, does the Otterbox come with a screen protector? How good is it?
Thanks for your time!
otterbox adds some bulk, but the protection is worth it... really. it IS a little slippery compared to the naked phone, but otherwise I don't have any complaints. hear good things about the Seidio too.
as far as screen protectors go, the one that comes with the case sucks. pick up a pack of these instead. Got the anti-glare ones (hatehateHATE cleaning fingerprints off of my screen all the time), and its been great so far.

I did have a I.Shield on my Milestone. I didnt like it. Personally, I like a bulky heavy phone so the combo Otterbox/milestone is perfect (My HTC Touch Pro2 is bigger). I have a Brando SP on my Milestone.
I have the otterbox commuter for my Droid and the bulk isn't too horrible, but the top-right-hand corner of the case doesn't like to stay put on the phone (e.g; It's loose). This is the second replacement, so I'm sure it's a common issue.
I've used both otterbox and seidio as well as some generic branded ones and have to say Seidio feels much lighter. Comparing the protection I'd have to go otterbox as on the inside of the case there is a layer of cushion so I guess that would protect it more. With that said I have dropped my phone with seidio on carpet and it was fine. I'm not using a case atm I find that any case will add too much unnecessary bulk.
I too am using the Otterbox Commuter Case, and it works well for me. It does add a little bit of bulk, but I don't find it to be too bad in exchange for the level of protection it gives.
I had the Otterbox on my Milestone until the top ring broke.
Called Otterbox and they said that it's a design flaw and offered me a new case (they said it will brake eventually) or a full refund. I took the refund.
I'm glad they have great customer service and take care of problems.

I strongly agree with this. My top ring broke as well and I put a call in to Otterbox. The customer service is excellent and had a free replacement in under 1 week. I am impressed...
I usually like Otterbox cases but this one isn't one to go with. It's badly made, not like the other ones

Regretfully, I must agree with you. The replacement I got from Otterbox fared little better than my first one. The weak link is the "ring" around the screen. It breaks far too easily.
Otterbox has usually made decent cases, but not in this case.
I've gone with the Zagg shield instead. I would have preferred the Otterbox, but what can one do...
Anybody got first hand experience of Otterbox protecting your milestone?
I use the otterbox too. Except the size increase the protection really worth it.

Sure do!
I use one on my milestone, I've dropped it a few times, and although the case itself has cracked etc, the phone doesn't have a scratch on it.
my top ring broke in the first day, replaced it with one from a cheap ebay case, and its been going strong since then.
Also cracked the plastic of the main case, but it was a doddle to fix with some aryldite (I think that's how its spelt), as there is an outer case and an inner soft silicone case. It doesnt look pretty but works well.
I'll post some pics if anyones interested.

extended bat
do you think i wil be able to ahev my extended bettery on with the case?
I've got this case on my phone right now and can give my 2 cents on it....
It's a beautiful case. Offers great protection against drops but definitely adds bulk. It also increases temperatures a bit on the high end of the scale. ie: if your phone is at 38 degrees with no case, it will be at 40 degrees with this case. but at the lower end, say 30 degrees, you won't notice a difference between case vs no case.
the plastic ring surrounding the screen broke 6 days into my owning the case! I was REALLY disappointed. But then my seidio innocase had the same thing happen.
After a few weeks, the case began to warp in one corner a bit. The heat from the battery getting too hot seemingly is deforming the case!! It's not major, but it is definitely there.

NO, you won't. If you want a good case for an extended battery get the Seidio innocase specifically meant for extended battery.
Overall I'm actually happy with the case despite the problems I mentioned. I feel that if I should drop it, even without that plastic ring surrounding the screen, the phone will survive.
But would I buy it again? No
I was happier with my seidio. Unfortunately I did drop the phone, and the case did break...but the phone was absolutely fine.

I just installed an otterbox DEFENDER series case on my fiance's ipod touch, and THAT is a phenomenal case. Totally different species than what they offer for our droids/milestones. Too bad they can't make one for us
I have had the seidio innocase on my milestone for a year now and I love it. Dropped my phone a couple of times, but no problem. Still going strong.

I have the nillkin in black and the rearth in white. They are both super slim and nice l cause they add grip so I can do a lot with one hand now. I'd recommend both to anyone. And the nillkin I bought on eBay for 7 bucks with shipping included and the rearth was 10 on Amazon, although this was 3 weeks ago so they might have went up in price by now
The stock samsung galaxy note 2 case is best thin wise. 2mm thick screen cover and a new back case to.protect the camera its ace but costs £30ish in shops.

I use to have the Rock Quicksand for my HOX but now have the Nillkin for my Note. Much preferred the Rock Quicksand; it's slimmer and provides for a better grip.

I have the translucent, frost colored one, looks good on my white N7000.. They are a pain to take off, usb cable does not fit in the port properly and pops out easily. It's also disposable, I imagine after 6 months it will look pretty ratty. That all said, I like it, it's very thin. I bought 3 for $6 shipped. So I'm set for a while.
There's no thinner case than no case at all. The back is replaceable for less than what you pay for a case if it gets scratched or cracked.
With a thin case, you're not getting much shock protection against a drop anyway, so the only thing that worries me is the finish around the edge trim wearing off, so I use a bumper.

Word of warning: I bought this case on the 29th OCTOBER, it was dispatched the very next day and I still haven't received it. That's over 30 days ago. Contacted the seller last Friday and he asked me to wait an additional 10 days. I'm in the UK by the way.

I bought this case and got it within a week from china. Simply amazing is the only way to describe it. It fits perfectly on the phone, it leave the "naked" feel of no case yet still offers some protection. Sure if you drop it the phone will still get damaged but for me I don't have to worry about throwing it down on my desk and scratching the phone up. I loved it so much I bought another one... My two complaints are 1. the usb port cutout of a tad too small and some wires don't fit all the way so they pop out. 2. It's nearly impossible to get this thing off the phone once it's on because it's so thin I feel like I'll break it trying.
The only bad thing about that case is that the sides are not really protected. Other than that, it's not a bad case at all.

I could care less about the back cover since they're like $10 to replace, it's the plastic chrome sides that need protecting.
I bought directly from the site of the seller.
I've been a user of this case since my last phone (HTC Evo LTE). The case did me really well on that phone and it was slim on form factor. Protector was also very good on the previous phone as I've dropped it couple times with the phone in the case. No damage were shown on the case or on the phone. Because of this, I decided that I would choose the same company again if I were to change phones.
This time around, I went with the Samsung Note 2 as an upgrade to my previous phone. The case wasn't announced when I got the phone, but soon after they decided to make the case. I bought it the second day it was announced through the owners site. Case arrived quickly and the quality is still superb. If you check this listing, there's a few photos that I posted which represented the case. When you lay the case flat with the phone inserted, it's basically the same thickness as the Evo LTE with the phone in a diztronic case. Adds very very minimal bulk which doesn't affect the usability.
The back of the case is a matte finish. This matte finish actually allows the user to grip the phone better. That's not just it, the finish also reduces all fingerprints and dust particles.
Phone cutouts are all perfect and aligned to the spot. Power button and volume buttons use a soft silicon touch. It's covered, but in no way does it affect the touch. I can still easily press those buttons and the phone would respond to my action.
Overall, great case! Price is right! Go for it!
Im pretty pleased with mine too even though I normally dont use tpu protectors. It has a really nice feel and the sides seem like they provide substantial protection. No real complaints from me. I know diztronic has a great reputation and this was my first case from them so im happy.

Im on the same boat!! I detest silicone and TPU cases as they are flimsy and stretchy, causing plenty of dusts to get trapped inside and scratch the device. But when I saw this case on Diztronic site I was very amazed so I ordered one. It arrived fairly fast despite the holiday seasons for US to Australia. Been using for 2 days and have to say, the best TPU case I've ever seen. The texture is very very nice, matte and really nice to touch and hold, raised lips to protect the screen, cover all the buttons (my favourite features), compact and thin enough but still have a decent protection from it. I'm very happy with this case, by far the best case I've got for Note 2 yet.
The only thing they should improve is to stick with matte texture all the way rather than having the raised lips/edges in glossy texture. And the seams could use some clean up.
Perhaps. I kinda like the edges with the smooth finish. Feels good when I need to stretch fingers across the whole phone.
One other plus I noticed is it seems to not get stretched easy. As I said this is my first Diztronic case so I'm sure others already know, but I've taken it on and off about 5 times and it still fits tight.

I think it's pretty firm on my end. I don't seem to loose control of it when it's in my hand.
I just want to pipe in and say I really like the Diztronic tpu case on my note 2. I used their cases on my Galaxy Nexus and was very happy. They add very little weight and size to the phone, yet I feel like my phone has pretty decent protection. My Galaxy Nexus still looks brand new, even though I dropped it a few times. I've dropped my note 2 one time and it still looks perfect.

Can't wait to get mine. I been thru quite a few cases hope this is the last one, it seems to fit all the criteria.
Diztronic is my preferred case-maker. Good quality, decent prices, great fit and feel. Can't ask for more than that.
Quick question on people who has it, I checked out the bodyglove case from sprint, and while it fits nice the sides were flimsy, does the diztronic fit nice and tight on the sides?

hey all, i was set on ordering the commuter but started reading into the defenders but ive heard the screen protector can be a pain and that would annoy me
what are your thoughts on both
Hated the defenders inbuilt screen protector, scratched real easy and got stuff caught under it. The commuter has pretty good protection and comes with a free stick on screen protector?
Sent from my GT-N7105T using Tapatalk 2
I toyed with both, both screen protectors are pretty bad. I forgot the brand, but there is a real good one people seem to use and get off amazon.
That being said, the cases themselves are both good. All depends on how protective you want to be over the phone.
I think the commuter unless you really need the protection the defender offers.
i currently have a spigen oleophobic screen protector on it so not too fussed about the one with the commuter, will keep it as a spare for emergencies, i have read that its a bit loose around the volume buttons as it doesnt have the outer shell to keep it in place (commuter)
It's a tiny bit loose around that volume area. I have a commuter and don't regret it at all, hurry up and order it so it gets to you quicker.

I was on the same boat with you. Usually I go for the top spec case but this time I ordered the commuter. I did this for 3 main reasons. The defender looks like great protection but it makes the phone much bigger especially thickness wise. Also it hides almost everything except for the screen so all the beauty of the phone disappears behind plastic. And last and more important the screen protector looks terrible and with all these wholes it lets everything under it and in touch with the screen. You can always remove it and replace it with another protector but then there maybe parts of the upper shell touching the screen which I dont like.
I have the defender... im not using it right now but bought it for when I am back out on site in the dust/rain/dirty hands and big risk of dropping it or someone else knocking it onto the floor. I had it on the phone for a while but its too big for daily use if you dont need the protection.
The inbuilt screen protector is easily removed and to me makes it a whole let better.

Once you remove the screen protector how is the inside of the upper shell? Is it smooth or can it scratch the phone?
ive ordered it, cant for it to arrive, i went for the commuter
Just got my Defender in tonight. I like it so far. I bought it after seeing my aunt's. Not a huge fan of the built in screen protector. Might pop that off later.
the only bit i dont like about the commuter is where it hasnt got the outer case, i think the outer case cover it all like the defender does but ill see when i get it, if you take the protector out does bits of dust/crap get inside the case? just something i was reading
Both... I have both... normally use the Commuter cause it is slimmer, but like the Defender alot too cause it has morr grip.

While I love the protection the Defender provides, after using it for about 3 hours it's a tad too bulky. The Commuter might have been a better choice, but it wasn't Prime Eligible.

both have its pros and cons. tested both and opted for the commuter due to its slimmer profile. just a heads up that there are numerous reports about the silicon sagging along the volume and power buttons on the commuter.

Thanks for the info. I din't know Otterbox had these for the Note 2. I used to have the iPhone 4S Defender case. It offered a good drip, nice protection, but the external soft material started to bend and lose its original shape after a couple of months using it. Does this have the same problem?
Looking for opinions on most protective case. Defender seems like the best but the screen protector....and hearing about dust getting in between it and the screen is a little disconcerning. I used a seidio active case on my thunderbolt and loved it, dropped on concrete several times and faired very well. But after recently breaking few months ago and seidio not wanting to replace it like they used to...kind of left a bad taste in my mouth and I dont know if I want to go back to them. That's what she said. Please let me know your opinion. Thanks!

Although I don't have the note2. I have an s3 and I have the otter box defender. I couldn't get the oil slick look to go away so I just took the built in screen protector out. It just pops right out. I have my full screen protector on there anyway to its still fully protected.

Ya that's what im thinking. Just thinking... should I buy it then immediately break the case by ripping out the built in protector. It just feels weird to break something so expensive on purpose lol. Then, does the adhesive that was holding it on cause an issue or removing the protector cause the case rigidinity to be compromised?

If you can wait 3-4 weeks the uag http://www.urbanarmorgear.com/products/black-note-ii-case
But if you need it now then go for the otter defender or commuter.
Also, if removing screen protector from defender is there still benefit(s) to using that case versus an otterbox commuter? Being that there is an included screen protector versus built in already.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
Rigidity shouldn't be compromised, and from what I read people use hair dryer to heat up the edge of the screen for a glue to soften, thus doing a clean removal of the screen. Glue supposed to roll off easily when its hot.. But you have to keep in mind, Otterbox gives you 1yr warranty if something happens to the case. If something breaks or gets damaged and you need to replace it, they will ask your original case back (I called them up to verify it) and even if you going to glue the screen back - there is a chance they will see it and might use it against you. I personally didn't want to take my chance, so I'm returning my Defender back.
Ya I was worried about breaking/enhancing this case for this reason. What did you end up going with?

Yes I have been watching this closely. Wasnt sure about how tough this case was. Looked more about design from what I could see, but I could be very wrong. I actually voted so they would make that case lol. But....not sure whats up with the holes on the back.

I have two cases for my Note 2: a Seidio Active case, and, as of this morning, an Otterbox Defender. Both have their pros and cons. The Seidio is more comfortable in the hand, and quite a bit slimmer, but the soft rubber inner case peels away from the phone too easily and all sorts of nasty scratchy stuff can get underneath it. It also has a handy little kickstand. The Defender is bloody huge, and for me at least, not as comfortable to hold. But it really does feel bombproof. The inbuilt screen protector isn't wonderful, but it works ok. Just needs an oleophobic coating.
As for which is best, I guess it depends how much you think you're going to throw your phone around

Throw? Never, unless onto the bed across the room. Its more of, late night out drinking and drop it from like 5 feet high on to concrete... that kind of scenario. Siedio for tbolt held up well for that did break the case eventually but phone still doesnt have a scratch. But yes, thank you for mentioning comfort, because if it never slips out of your hand... you never drop it. Looking for something grippy if possible, but that is second on my list to overall protection of course.

They are both grippy. The Defender is just a bit too big to hold comfortably. I guess that's the joy of better protection. Ironically, the Defender is possibly more likely to be dropped, not because it slips from your hand, but because it's likely to snag when you try to take it out of your pocket.
I'm going to stick to the Defender for now, although I will remove the screen protector. I use Liquid Armour on the screen and this pretty much negates the need for a plastic cover on the screen.

Whag was your reasoning for choosing the defender over the commuter? I hear it doesnt snag on pockets and has a regular screen protector. I ask because this case is my backup for the time being
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
I had a commuter on my iphone, and it was dreadful. It didn't fit well, and really didn't feel like it would provide any degree of protection at all. And protection was rather important with all that glass! Binned it after a few days and ended up with a Taktik case (kickstarter thing). But I digress.
Apart from my iphone experience, I would say the Seidio case is better than the Commuter. It will give as much protection, and look and fit better.

Weird, I've had commuters for multiple phones and never had one fit any way other than perfect

This one was definitely not a snug fit. Might have been unlucky, but I'm not willing to chance it!

My commuter fits perfectly. Love this case. Also bought a 4 $ holster that fits the note 2 with the commuter on perfectly. Perfect combo for me.
