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

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.

I know it may seem a silly question but can you just tone down the sarcasm a touch, at least give the OP some respect.

SGP Case for Galaxy Tab

The SGP Vintage Case for the Galaxy Tab has to be the best case I have tried with the Galaxy tab ..... everyone should look at it first ....

Pictures?
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App

Yep pictures and some reasons as to why it is the best case you've used would be helpful.

I have to wait to post pictures still
Sent from a pimped out G-tab

Is it this?
http://www.amazon.com/SGP-Samsung-Galaxy-Leather-Vintage/dp/B004EG48A4

If that's it... I got something similar at the Verizon store for 30 bucks. Don't think it's real leather, but it is the exact same design. Price differential is worth the potential fake leather for me.
Sent from my SCH-I800 using XDA App

This is a sweet case, but I don't think I'd spend $73 on it. I purchased a black leather one with a kickstand for $30 that I'm happy with, it's just not sexy brown and case-y like this one.

Wow, almost a 1/4 of what the tab is worth, i don't think i would spring that much for a case...

Or you could look at it as adding 25% to the value of your tab through protection, style, and in some instances functionality

I would stay away from ROO cases. I had one for my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 white and it left two marks on the back of it, where it seemed to have rubbed the finish off.

I like this guy. Deadmau5 pic and demanding genuine leather! I'm hoping for a case from these guys: http://www.vajacases.com/ - Got one for my PlayBook last year and it's awesome.
Shame they got shipped and delivered to the UK first yet there are very few accessories released here yet. Will be a while until we have a genuine leather case with the 'smart' magnetic bit.

that case has been on sale for years. it's so ugly. Giant leather bondage strap holding down your nexus 7? ugly.

I picked up a leather smart case similar to this one at Big Lots for $8.00. High quality material ! They have lots of 7" case options there for a budget price......scrarch resistant screen protectors , stylus pens , bluetooth speakers etc....
BigLots. com serach the left hand side by ELECTRONICS to see their tablet stuff.

I say patience is a virtue. We all know the tablet for what it is. You either like it or you don't. Most of us have already pre--ordered and are waiting for them to arrive right now.
As far as the caes go, I'd rather feel what they're like in my hand. Via pictures of cases online, 10 look great for ipad and other devices, however only 1-2 actually feel and function as nice as they seem to be described and pictured online.(not cheap feeling, or feeling like they'l literally fall apart, lacking features cleverly not pictured, etc.

Such a perfect deal. Such a bloody shame they don't ship to Canada

For me none of the cover/cases on Amazon (I was at the local Best Buy to take a look at 7" stuff) are aesthetically pleasing. I ordered a "padded pouch" off Etsy.com and I'm gonna get a sturdy "case" when one becomes available.

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

I would definitively purchase this case!! very nice. Please keep me updated

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,
UAG support

How does this case compare to the Trident Aegis case?
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'd buy this case!

wish u guys success, always good to have choices
but their line up includes only iphone and gs3 only, which have been sold 10s of millions, if note 2 has that kind of sales i think they will make the case
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

One for everyone
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.

Trident Cases

Hey everyone,
Anyone heard anything on if Trident is going to release a case for this? Historically, how long has it taken them after the phone debut to come out with a case?

Trident will be offering the Aegis case which should be available starting mid December.

When they do I'll buying 1

I got an answer from them on Twitter saying mid November. So I hope that is correct and not December

I love trident cases. The I have had one on my last two phones (sgs2,evolte)...just don't understand why they can release I phone cases so quick and android takes months... Isn't the note 2 the same chassis worldwide?

Well of course there is a significantly higher demand for iPhone cases. That being said, they are willing to funnel huge amounts of money towards fabricating cases for apple devices faster. I am willing to bet that more than half of their profit comes from apple cases. Just think about all the money they fund into constructing the design, build quality, durability, all the different pieces, and the entire supply chain for a single line of cases. I bet they barely make a profit on some of these cases. Just think of all the relatively poor selling phones they make cases for like the HTC Status, or all the different versions of the Galaxy S line.
I will be getting a Kraken case if they make one, which I think they will considering they did for the Note and they seem to make a Kraken for a lot of more popular phones.

There have been a lot of us pestering them on Facebook because they stated they do not currently plan to make a kraken case for the GN2. Sometimes you can get these companies to change their mind if enough people speak out

I think the only issue with that is its probally only xda members pestering them. And it will probally take thousands and thousands of emails to convince them to make one. Now the reason i say its mainly xda members is because the general public normally only knows the cases they see in retaill stores. Otterbox is on everyshelf everywhere. I almost consider otterbox the iphone of cases lol bc thats all most people know and swear if there case is not an otterbox its no good lol. Plus i dont think the note is selling as good as the s3. The s3 was just a overall homerun man and that phone still sellin like crazy. Theres even alot of people on craigslist trading notes for the s3 and cash. Thats why every companys producing cases for the s3. I dont think the note will see that kind of love

As per the Kraken series, Trident Europe usually gets it waaay waaay faster than US (usually the gap is 2months+) . One may say "then order one from Trident Europe," but you'll be surprised that the price is almost twice of that from US.
Damn.
