Looks like Vaja cases are coming up with a case for the Athena.
When you go to the site and do the following clicks, it leads you to a form that you can fill out specifically for the Athena. You can submit your suggestions. These cases are AWESOME. Let's get as many people to go in and submit suggestions so they know there is interest. I want to buy one of these when they come out.
http://www.vajacases.com
- Click Mobile
- Click HTC
- Click Advantage
Submit form with suggestions. I wonder what their release target date is.
Done. I told them that I needed a nice case for carrying the Ameo without the keyboard, and suggested a two part case that can be used with or without...
well, the athena vja case site has been up since the athena was released, definetely since april. so that doesn't mean anything.

Ah, thanks for that info. Maybe we'll see something soon with the release of the device in the US and exposure to an expanded market.
UPDATE
Well...there might be hope for the Vaja case....
When I replied to Vaja that since they didn't know when they'd be releasing the Athena case I might need to get the available now PielFrama case instead, they replied that I should contact them again in a few days...
Well, a few days went by and I emailed them again yesterday....waiting to hear back from them....
For those interested in a Vaja case, you might want to email them asking when it will be available.....squeaky wheel gets the grease....
There we go. We'll see. It would be great if they came out with two cases. One full body and the other for main device without keyboard. I would buy BOTH!

This is the reply I received from a recent email asking about any plans to make a case for the Athena. Looks like we're getting the short end of the stick after all...
Oh well....so it goes....
Spoke with Otterbox about the TMO US case. Here is the response if anyone cares.
Update for Case #114446 - "HTC HD2 (Tmobile)"
Dear Francis,
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. I have put in a product suggestion on your behalf, and recommend keeping an eye on our website, as it will have the most up to date information on any new releases that we may have.
Thank you,
Katy
I ask/suggest you click this link and request it too. Hopefully if they see a demand, they'll create the supply. I would really love a commuter case for this. I cant stand most of the options out. Thanks.

Honestly, A good case is worth $30 or so to me. I have a $450 phone and am absolutely OCD about scratches, especially on the screen. I like PDair but they like everyone else has yet to release a US version. I ordered the Fommy rubberized plastic but it isnt shipping for a couple weeks. I have Otterbox cases and can say the fit/finish is second to none. Plus the commmuter is thin and actually protects well. I think if they get enough interest, they will make it.

Yes I agree, and those are easily the nicest ones I've seen so far.
I also got a very quick reply from their service team...same exact wording as the one you got
I sent them a message as well. Nice looking cases.
Yep, that's a nice looking case right there. We need more people to sign up there (that are also committing to purchase) so we can convince them that there is a demand for it.

Commited or not, as long as they keep seeing TMO HD2, I think we are in good shape. But as always is comes down to the bottom dollar. Hopefully we can just keep getting people to request it through the site.
Yeah, I sent in my request as well. I probably won't get it considering I've got this new invisibleSHIELD from Zagg, but I'm all about more accessories for our phone
I too just send my requests in. hopefully they will change there minds and make it for us. if enough peep flood their mail box for TMO HD2.
Added mine as well and moving this thread to the ACC forum that everyone asked for.
I asked too
Hello Everyone,
I put in a request at otterbox too.
1 Defender series Black
1 Defender series Yellow
I hope they realize that they could corner the market on these cases for the USA version HD2
I told them that too
Thank you,
Monnie
I put in a request when the thread opened:
Update for Case #115321 - "Tmobile HTC HD2"
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.

Sounds a little more optimistic than previous replies.
i have the defender case for my 3gs....it has saved my iphone twice....once from a ladder...3 feet to a concrete floor and another time down a half flight of concrete steps...about 10 steps. it paid for itself many times over and the iphone still works great
Requested as well
I have requested one as well.
I have requested one as well.
Haven't you checked the website? Their is a upcoming HD2 commuter series for $35. Can't wait for it, been their for a while though.
When this comes back into stock i'm getting it!:
http://www.otterbox.com/iphone-cases/iphone-3g-3gs-cases/2600-series-pda-case/
I started a discussion on otterbox's facebook page for a case...they said if enough people post their they could get a case into production. So lets get posting!!
I got this front paged on wmpoweruser.com so maybe people will see it
I'm in... please pepper there page on facebook with requests!!!!

Done. I've always wanted an otterbox case for one of my phones since I first saw the Iphone defender case.
Here's a survey put together by Otterbox Team to get input on a case:
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/OtterBoxSocialMediaNewProductSuggestion
They seemed interested... excellent chance to impact design.
I like their cases, because they have a pretty good belt clip and are pretty tough.
THEY MADE ONE...for the Dell venue pro. That's right. They made a case for a phone that nobody has. But yet they have no plans for a case for the top selling wp7 device. WTF.
This makes ZERO sense.
Well... except I can almost bet you Dell get in on them making it since Dell's logo is on the back of the case.
Dell needs to worry about being able to ship out a working product before making a case for it.
Sent from my SGH-i917 using Board Express
Took the survey. Hoping for the best. I'll email them from work tomorrow as well.
Done
Took the survey, hope they follow through.
Screw them and their survey, they obviously don't care about the consumers, they made a case for the Dell Venue? and not the Focus, why because they think pleasing Dell is more important than pleasing the vast majority of people who would like this case for the Focus.
I for one will not beg them in a survey, I will never use another one of their cases again, that is what people should tell them not beg them to make a case for the most popular Windows phone currently in production.
The coffin is nailed shut..
..on this now-very-dead topic.
Otterbox will not be developing a case for the Samsung Focus. They've gone out of their way for the HD7, yay for them.
Here's their weak response on the 9-page thread of Focus owners pleading with them to do their jobs (posted on 1/27/2011 on the Facebook thread) found here: http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=54145863002&topic=16349#topic_top
Hi everyone. Unfortunately we will not be making a case for the Focus. Because the Windows 7 phones were such a new product, it was difficult to gauge which device would take the day. Unfortunately, we underestimated the demand for the Focus and did not design a case for it. With the amount of R&D time that goes into our cases, we just don't feel we can now deliver an option in a timely fashion. We apologize if we have disappointed our Otter fans - we do our best to idenfity which devices should get awesome OtterBox protection, but occasionally miss the mark.

They didn't "miss the mark".. they flat-out didn't bother with trying, IMO. They've had far more than enough time to look into this.
A real shame.
They have 265 posts in a few short weeks, requesting that they make this case. I'm at a loss.
I messaged them again the other day and they said there will be no case.

Well so much for Ottercase. Poor response to customers suggests that we should take our business else where and not look back. I typically never go back to a brand that doesn't care about previous customers.

Beatifully stated!
that company is more concerned with sucking off steve jobs than catering to us. oh well.
Bought the original Blurex one for $6, which turned out to be pretty crappy but then they made up for it by shipping me the updated model for free. (Which is a lot nicer!)
Then I had also placed an order for the Poetic case below:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008IEGS9W/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00
And before I've even received it, I got this e-mail this morning:
Dear Valuable Customers,
Thank you for purchasing Poetic HardBack Protective Case for the Google Nexus 7 Android Tablet by Asus. We have found there is slight problem on the case. The magnet inside the case is too strong to make case sleep while fold back the cover and hold like a book. Sorry about nothing seeing this problem while designing this product. Please keep the original one as backup, you don’t need to ship back to us. We are managed to provide a free replacement update version case that correct this problem as Poetic stand behind of their products within 2-3 business days. We are shipping updated fixed version out within 2-3 business days. You will definitely receive the update fixed version by the end of next week (August 3th). Please give us a chance and wait until update version products before give out product comment on this product.
Best Regards to all that support Poetic, we will continue provide more innovative products for Google Nexus 7 device before anyone else.
Regards,
Customer Service
:laugh:
Damn Lucky, haha. You should try buying a lottery ticket
Yeah, four cases for $15.95 is pretty good.
I already gave one away though. (The 1st Blurex.)
Funny, I got the same message for the MoKo slim-fit case....
Dear buyer:
Thanks for purchasing MoKo slim-fit case for your Nexus 7. We are
sorry to inform you that we have found some issue with the built-in
magnets in cases that are scheduled to ship today. The magnet is
installed to support the smart wake/sleep feature of Nexus 7 but
unfortunately it would also put the Nexus to sleep when the front
cover is folded against the back, due to the slim profile of this
particular case. We are sure you would not like to purchase a case
like this and this is not a case we would sell either. But we have
decided to ship this current case to you to provide a TEMPORARY
solution to protect your Nexus before you get the the improved
replacement from us. We have taken measures to rectify the issue in
our future production and the replacement cases should be ready
sometime next week. The fully working replacement case will be shipped
to you at no extra cost and you don't have to return the temporary
case. You may want to remove
And please let us know if you would like us to make other
arrangements for you. We can also provide any of our Nexus 7 cases as
a free substitute if you prefer. All other nexus 7 cases we carry come
with the smart wake/sleep function but don't have the same issue as
the "temporary case" has. You can check the selection here:
A lot of these cases come from the same factories in China, and all that changes is the reseller's name on the case! (If it even has one. :laugh
Really can't complain too much though as they are sending out free cases. That's decent customer service. The case + shipping again must really not leave them much profit...

no i think they are still getting a good profit. the cases probably cost them $2 to make? they are selling them for $14, do the math
Not the ones I've bought.
First one was six bucks and they've shipped me two cases.
The second was ten bucks shipped and they've shipped me two cases.
If you guys want to send one of the old ones my way I'll.... up your thanks meter. :good:
anyone know how to fix this? i got the same poetic case and received the defective one , and emailed me that their gonna send a replacement too, but im just wondering if we can fix the first one by hand..

Hi Folks,
I emailed Incipio last week to see if they intended making covers for the N7 like they do for the Ipad and they emailed me back last night to say they are releasing a range of products but no details are available yet, but to keep an eye on their website and there should be info there soon. Would really like a Incipio feather case for my 7 along with a smart cover..
Hopefully in the next few weeks we'll have more info
Cheers,
Mick

Hope they make the legend case! Its the best case I've seen so far
These cases are amazing. I've Put some cash aside for when these are released. Even the international shipping seems reasonable. I'm surprised there isn't more mention of these on the forum rather than all the cheap plether bulky rubbish everyone seems to like! No accounting for taste!
Any updates on this?
I got this response from them yesterday. I did ask about which specific cases might be available but no details yet.

Thank you for your follow up email. We do have plans to be making cases for the Nexus 7, however they’re currently in development so we do not currently have an estimated release date for the cases. I apologize for any inconveniences, however if you have any other questions, feel free to let us know.

Kind Regards,

Exactly. Google is selling tons of these things and it's been over a month now. I want to give my money to anyone that comes out with a "tank" case but no one is stepping up to the plate.

Maybe it's because lots of friggin people want to friggin buy them?
...or maybe it's because one size fits all and so it's easier to get one to market early.
No company can set up, tool up and manufacture quality products at the drop of a hat never mind them wanting to make sure there's going to be a sustainable market for it.
I realise that moaning is one of the US national pastimes but these forums are international and believe me it gets very old very quickly having to trawl past all these whinging posts to try and find the good stuff.

sweet looking forward to getting one

i agree with this. i also believe google announced the tablet and released it 2-3 weeks later and didn't work with anyone on accessories. perhaps it was to generate sales of their case, but the consumer got screwed. i'm not a fan of the asus case. from day one i wanted a leather case and over a month later, i'm still limited in my choices becasue companies are still working on their cases. i emailed marware last week and they still said 4-6 weeks.
OMG can this come any sooner?? :crying:
$30 for a sleeve? Are you guys seriously melting over this?
Talk about low standards.
Incipio makes decent cases, but they're always way overpriced. I got the N7 because of its value, and this is going to carry over with my accessories for it. If I wanted to overspend, I would have gotten an iPad.
