Otterbox Defender Case (look-a-like)

I bought this on ebay for my epic touch and thought it would be cool to share with xda, check it out ... It's a Otterbox Note 2 Defender Case (look-a-like)
CHECK IT OUT
it has all the features of the defender case except the Clear protective membrane on touch screen or the Ratcheting belt clip holster...
I drop my phone once from getting out the car and it was on lap, the case protected the phone perfect, no scratch or hard impact...
Just sharing ... its not otterbox but its something cheap and it protects
The quality is equal to otterbox, I had Defender cases on my other devices and this is equivalent... the seller has 4-5 different colors, I got mines in 4-5 days

Does it have the foam on the inside of the hard plastic like the Otterbox?

Ordered, will report when I get it.

It's funny, the look-a-likes for most the big name brands: otterbox, ballistic, seidio all have counterparts that look almost identical to them design wise and perform nearly up to par, but at at most 1/4 of the retail price.

does this case have port covers like the otterbox?

That type of black rubber looks like it will attract dust/lint.
Anyway I'll probably get the white one.
Thanks for the link.

Not necessarily. The ones for my Evo lte and GS3 didn't.

Is this case easy to remove from the phone? Had one on order already just waiting for it to be shipped.

Had this case on my gs3 for 2 days then removed it. Its a bad fit. Holes dont line up. Rubber feels like a cheap dog toy. There is no padding on inner layer so it will scratch your phone. Bulkier then a defender. Its harder to take off then a defender. Just a bad case imo

Thanks for the info. Just ordered one. Nice price....

I've been rocking mine for a week now. Bad fit but I overcame that by adding black velvet tape I had for my home theater screen border. This helps it fit better and helps keep it from scratching my phone. The case still creaks when you handle it but not as badly. It's heavy. But I like it more than I hate it. I love portrait and landscape kickstand modes. Lint magnet, yes. But nothing I can't blow off by blowing hard with my mouth, as filthy as that sounds.

The buttons originally lined up perfectly and we're extremely easy to press, which is a good thing. But since I added my velvet spacer, sometimes I have to fight to press the side buttons accurately. In the end, I'm loving this case still. And no, mine came with no plus for the ports. Not sure if it was supposed to but thought it was.

No foam inside

I think the best part is it has all the features of the defender case except the "Clear protective membrane" on touch screen ... I think since were using a stylus ... a screen protector will be better then the loose "Clear protective membrane"

It's not like it's permanently attached to the otterbox...you can pull it out if you wanted to. Done it many times. And the s-pen works fine through screen protectors. It's not your typical stylus. I will continue to wait for the real thing personally.
And it doesn't have all the features...no port covers and no holster.

Well it's not like rocket science or something. Slapping some pieces of plastic together is not that complicated really.

Absolute thinnest case?

Anyone know a case that's little more than a thin plastic shell? Any TPU car would be too thick. I got a Quicksand case, but it's a mm thick (digital calipers read 1.06 mm). That's still too thick. Something less than 0.5 mm and hours up to the glad would be great.
I don't need any protection, I just hate the glossy plastic. I've got a Slickwrap, but it doesn't cover the edges and looks crappy. I would consider a skin or wrap that goes as far up the sides as the gray plastic line bisecting each edge.
I don't want to paint or sand down the plastic because I'm probably going to sell this phone if there's a Nexus phone this year.

It's exactly what you want. The grip is fantastic. The material has some weird matte/fabric finish and is the best grip case I ever had. On all phones. It adds zero bulk, trust me.
My 5 times more expensive and durably, but bulky as hell, Spigen Slim Armor is collecting dust in the drawer.

I'm very satisfied wtih this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/350973215849
It's not soft touch plastic(not tpu). But it adds little bit of grip nonetheless...

I don't understand. Do you realize I'm looking for thin cases? Almost all TPU cases are going to be too thick because TPU would be too susceptible to tearing if molded so thin.
Now find me the TPU case that is susceptible to tearing due to thinness and I'll probably buy it. Like I said, protection means nothing. I just hate coming into contact with the glossy plastic.

Have this and love it. Barely adds anything to the phone.

Was just trying to help, this case is very thin imo. I haven't had any issues with tearing and the glosssy back is the same reason I bought it. Why not get a skin if all you want is to cover the back.

So we just need one specific for the VZW version.
I have a similar material one for my moto x and it's the best lightest protection ever! Very light weight and protects against scratches and mild bumps.

For Verizon, just use the Incipio Feather case. That is what I have, looks just like all these posted, and is designed for the Verizon model specifically (you can even buy them in any Verizon store).
I've had my incipio feather case on since day 1. Still looks great. My phone has had a few nasty spills and never had any damage... even the case looks new. It has a soft "rubber" like coating on it, but the case itself it hard and snaps on. Never had a problem with it coming off (it is actually quite hard to come off. It also has a TINY TINY lip that when facedown, will keep the screen off the surface.

That's what I have, and it's slippery. It's nothing like the blue/green textured ones that we were discussing, which aren't (today) avail for the VZW version.
edit: will also add that the incipio has sharp edges at the corners. The other one is not sharp like the incipio.

Try Body Glove skin, not a case but textured, comes in metallic, wood, carbon fiber, etc finishes. Its should be useful gor what you want/need and it covers the edges.

BASEUS Ultra-Thin Air Case

Hi friends, I would like to inform you about a nice transparent-soft case. I have been using it for 3 weeks and very pleased with this case. It has two colour options; fully transparent and grey transparent.
Advantages;
- It covers all body but does not affects the usage of infrared.
- Since it is soft, does not scratch the phones' edges and body.
- It is very cheap (~$5) but really at good quality.
- It protects its clearity and not yellowing like other transparent soft cases.
- It is very thin, only 0.6mm.
- It fits perfectly.
- It looks very stylish.
Disadavantages;
- Since it is very thin, I don't think that it will protect the phone from drops.

Does the case effect camera photos when using the flash? My clear spigen does and makes flash photos in dark scenes useless with the case.

I had some washed out type pics with case on and flash. Just tried to duplicate at work but not dark enough. This is the Spigen I have
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IF5B218/
Even in the reviews there are lots of comments about the issue.
I did have the same issue with the flash adding a haze to pictures. I googled this and apparently quite a few cases can have this effect, In this case it is because the case acts like fibre optics and carries the light from the flash and disperses it across the lens. Easily fixed however, take a black permanent marker and draw round the edge of the lens and flash hole and this stops the light transmitting.

I might try the sharpie around the inside of the flash hole on the case to see if that helps. I did order the Baseus case too since it's such a reasonable price.

For $5.00 I decided to buy this case... once I receive the case I will post pictures.
I opted for the Transparent White version of this case.

i also have the same case, and mine must be one that slipped through QA... it fits rather poorly and the sides are not properly aligned with the phone face/top, e.g., what lip there is does to come to the top. if the fit was better, this would be an ideal case for those desiring a case that adds minimal bulk and provides some level of protection.

mines should ship out today from amazon....is it full transparent tho?..still show us some pics man

I have a clear Spigen that looks a bit "yellow" and has the flash bleed issue. I also just got the Baseus Air case. It can't be anymore slim. It doesn't stick out past the screen so there isn't any screen protection if you lay it upside down. No flash bleed and it looks very clear. Power button sucks on it (have to push really hard) though volume buttons are alright. Here are a couple pictures.
The other case is a Diztronic that has a QI receiver taped inside. I usually only use that case while at work because I have a QI enabled dock.

M8 looks perfectly, so I just need a fully transparent TPU case to protect it, and this one seems great. It should arrive in a couple of days.
Just one question for everyone who has it- is it hard to press the power button?

Body Glove Case

Body Glove LG G Flex Fusion with DuraStand
Very tight fit. Once it is in, it is hard to remove it.
2 stage projection in one. Thin rubber Lining + hard case. The volume and power volume button are cover but have no texture feel to them.
The screen is protected by a bumper rim.
The texture on the side provide, very good grip for handling.

that is nice. i have the incipio and the case rubber is very loose. im going to buy a body glove now

Otterbox is garbage, ballistic and trident cases are the best cases ive ever used on a phone. Mybatt is okay but for this phone its terrible. I really liked the incipio,but, the silicone starts being stretchy after about a week or 2. I get my trident in a few days and i know it will be good,if not, back to ballistic i go

I'm telling you us like the body glove an the casemate again the casemate is white

My body glove is black brushed effect tpu .... Doesn't look like this one its a little less bulky/ durable but its saved my flex from 20+ random landing angles , drops from 5 foot or so. I'm really impressed with the different material they used for the screen. I show off its durability by tossing it ( with body glove case) from my pocket waists high to a couple feet from me AMD letting hit the floor on concrete too. Its not got the first scratch or crack. $#!+ rattles around inside but that let's me know its still kickin. J/k. Nothing rattles.

just got my Trident Aegis and its awesome....

Rear protection without a case?

I saw at Otterbox they have a film/protection for the back of these phones available.. I HATE to put this gorgeous beast in a case .. plus they all add bulk... Would these rear "screen" like protectors benefit? I have a case but everyone always asks what phone I have..

If you are not opposed to skins there are pretty good ones. I like ArmorSuit MilitaryShield, it is completely transparent and a little springy and grippy. Skinomi and a few other companies make some with patterns.

I would suggest you to try out the Spigen Ultra hybrid series. Trust me, it adds a very slight layer to the sides but provides ultimate protection.
And the design looks classy on the black version, I have been using it and I like my phone better with that thing on rather than the naked phone.

I always wanted to know, do these skins actually provide any kind of protection? Or will break the phone apart if it drops and are made just for the design aspect?

I always wanted to know, do these skins actually provide any kind of protection? Or will break the phone apart if it drops and are made just for the design aspect?

I'm using the skin with an aluminum bumper so it is mainly for scratch protection as drop protection is going to be mainly coming from the bumper. But the front skin is pretty thick and adds a little cushion to the screen itself. I cannot imagine it helps on a major face first drop onto concrete but I bet it will help with keeping the screen from being scratched up during a face first drop onto a softer surface like linoleum or from a sliding impact.
I also have the spigen, that was the first case I ordered and with the completely transparent back it is not invasive and looks very nice. I have the gold S6 and got the gunmetal spigen which kind of tones down the goldness which is good sometimes for me.

Looks interesting.. Wish I could find these in person so I could feel how much they add to the sides.. but then again Amazon has the color I want for $13.99 so I guess that's not too bad ... :highfive:

I'm currently rocking a real bamboo back skin and have a leather pouch coming. In pocket and for setting it down will have pouch. For general use and at desk it only has back skin.

I saw at Otterbox they have a film/protection for the back of these phones available.. I HATE to put this gorgeous beast in a case .. plus they all add bulk... Would these rear "screen" like protectors benefit? I have a case but everyone always asks what phone I have..
