Just got the Otterbox commuter

And my god am I impressed. I've used otter boxes since the iphone 3gs but I was torn between this and the body glove case. After this purchase, the Otterbox brand will be on every phone I own. Totally recommend this case, it comes with an screen protector you apply but I'm not a fan of those so I can't say anything about it but still, worth every penny. You just can beat the quality of these, fits like a glove, no movement what so ever.

How many days did it take to get to you? How long in processing?

I bought it the day it was available which was Friday and got overnight shipping, it arrived this morning.

This case must be hard to find. I had a 3 week old one i sold on ebay last week and it went for $41....the case was only $38 in stores. Its a really nice case. Feels really good in the hand. Some people complain about the kickstand but i like it. Heres a thread i started with some pics http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2014892

Only one way to find out

Not there yet. I've been looking and emailed case mate they said just keep looking. looking thanks

my 2 cents
Hi all,
Just wanted to chime in on this case. The protection is great and the side grips make the feel more solid as opposed to slippery. The extended rubber on the face helps when it is facedown or when it potentially drops so it's not flush against the floor/table. My only beef is that the kickstand rubber part has come loose so i'm not sure how durable that part is, it's not that much of a hassle as I can still manage to prop it up but I'm afraid it will eventually break off.
Most complaints are about the difficulty of getting the kickstand out
P.S. all ports are accessible i.e. stylus, charger, headphones, camera, speaker
Raised power & volume up/down buttons

Whats the matter with case makers these days? Release the case with just 2 colors, one is black the other is white with pink. Its exactly like body glove diamond series... ffs have they ever thought men uses with white case too? Why pink?? Could just use red and that would plays with well with both genders...

Nice looking case but have always had the rubber part warp on every case I had. Evo 4g, evo 3d, and the skyrocket. I ended up using the speck case for my note 2. Even if anything happens to it I can exchange it for free at the att store.

Metal Bumper with Screws

Looking to pick up a metal bumper but I don't want the kind that slide together. I purchased one of those from Ebay a few months ago and I wasn't very happy with it. Looking for something that is a little better quality. The Sweet Armor looked good but it is no longer available in black. Any suggestions?

The draco looks nice, but I can't find any one who has one with our phone for an opinion

Im just worried about recption problems with metal or aluminum bumpers. Had real bad experience with some when I was still on my iphone 5 and it wasnt those cheap bumpers too.

first vid i found of it. the red one looks sick..but like all metal bumpers including this one - you will suffer one bar loss if not more depending on your signal strength in your area.

Yes it does, I just wish it wasn't $90.00.

I have a Thunder Gray Draco sitting in my mailbox. I'll get pics and do a review when I get home. When I had a Sweet Armor case on my S3 there was no signal loss. The Draco for some reason did drop one bar. Call quality and data connection wise, I didn't notice a difference. I'll check it and see what happens tonight.
iPhone 5 has their antennas all along the aluminum sides. When you put a aluminum bumper on top of that, you're doubling the interference.
Samsung phones are some type of polymer / plastic. Not as much interference. That's why Draco has cases that are half aluminum and half plastic for the iPhone. If there were really issues with reception interference, they would have switch the S3 cases to half and half as well.

Have you seen this one?

I think the issue I had with it is that there is a cutout for the antenna that the Asian version of the phone has. If it didn't have that cutout, I would've gotten it.

I bought it from ebay. I can't find the seller, below is a link to another one, I paid the same amount.
I did test it out, it did not scratch my phone, even with the screen protector on.

I also had a similar but cheaper bumper before, that one does not have the cut out for the power button and volume rocker, it's also thicker in size. No problem with that one either.

I am not sure since this one is thinner, but I can check it out later when I go home.
I don't really care about that because I used aftermarket backs with the bumper. These backs are usually a little thicker so they protect the lens even if you set it flat.
I live near DC.

Lifeproof alternative?

Hello all,
I know this has been asked before, but I never found any answers in the other threads. I'm not sure if that's because there is no answer to this question, or nobody looked around enough.
So the question is, are there any alternatives to Lifeproof cases for our device? I'm not talking about universal waterproof bags or anything like that. I mean a legitimate case. Something that is both rugged, and waterproof.
I've emailed Seidio, asking about the OBEX for our device. I got a big "No" in response.
Does anyone know of an alternative?
Thanks.

The answer for the case is NO, we've contacted all the too manufacturers and there all said that the spen precludes them from making such a case.

How exactly does the s-pen stop them from making such a case? Surely if anything it'll just be a bit less accurate due to the way it works. It doesn't have to be touching the screen at all for it to register a touch and you can make it more or less sensitive too.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

Because if the case is water tight and the spen is stored in the phone.....how do you get the spen out?
They don't want to find a way and they refuse to make a case if you can't remove and use the spen while using the case even though probably 99%
Of note 2 users wouldnt care and just want a stinking waterproof case!
Sent From My Ginormous Note 2

I agree, I would sacrifice the use of an spen if such a case was needed. I wish these companies could understand that... Just seal the damn spen in cause if you ever needed a life proof case you're not going to be taking notes.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

Could also have it clip onto an optional holder on the side or something
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

I agree. I could do without my SPen for the sake of a waterproof case.
Does anyone have an idea of how large of a demand these companies would need to develop a case for this? There's millions of Note II's out there. There has to be a good chunk willing to buy a case like this.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda premium

I commented on Siedio's Facebook about the OBEX and their response was because of the Spen functionality loss.

Could we petition this or something? Or a revolution. Yes. I like that idea. We can have slogans and everything.

I've seen this case in this forum before, but I don't recall if it was actually waterproof, shockproof, etc, or not.
The seller has 100% positive feedback, and it ships from Hong Kong.
Sketch? Legit? What are your opinions?

Looks like a reasonable alternative but I wouldn't trust it under water. Also I think it's butt-ugly... However, if I were going out into the wild I would consider that case.
