how do you decipher a good deal from a knock off? the prices on these things vary so widely. anywhere from about $25 upto $80. i dont want to overpay but i dont want to end up with a knockoff either.
I bought mine from Walmart online for $30. They were $50 in the store. When it broke Otterbox verified the code stamped in the case and sent me a replacement.

ebay knockoff otterbox
I bought my otterbox defender from ebay as well.( ohcases )( 26 bucks and change)..However- it was genuine, and despite that- I broke the clip holster within 15 days- the ebay company gave me a hassle for exchange- ( return my damaged part, and then they would send out a replacement..and of course- shipping back at MY expense.
I contacted otterbox, sent pics via email-( of the genuine stamping included) and within 7 days - had an entire new package- all new case, clip etc. So the point here- ebay doesnt mean fake- but the deals are out there ...and so are vendors who dont know what customer service means.
[
im sure a cheap knockoff would do the same job protection wise(maybe), but if it breaks you have to buy another, it could end up costing you more than a genuine one. ive had my note 2 for a year now and only had the kickstand case that just covers the back. yesterday made me think i should have more protection. i had my phone in the passengers side door,and i forgot it was there and opened the door. the note 2 fell onto the concrete, glass side down, but somehow(thankfully) didnt break and i had a screen protector, so no scratches either

Otterbox Defender
Hello everyone,
I got my Otterbox Defender with 25 US$ from Ebay, delivered from Hong Kong to Romania in 3 weeks, free of charge, par avion.
It's genuine and perfect, blister and all. I did the mod shown here somewhere to allow for the 6400mAh battery from Mugen.
It's PERFECT and I am happy.
Cheers, Mihai.
thanks

Has anyone bought an Amzer case from Amazon? Gel or TPU? Any good?
I know someone talked about it in the Vibrant forum. Might wanna check over there. I think the person did a mini review.
I ordered one but it won't ship until january.

I ordered a black silicone case as well as their screen protector to try out for the hell of it. They are out of stock so there will probably be a small wait till it arrives.
yeah ordered one of their screen protectors. i dont need a case if i have a ZAGG on the back
The cases aren't out yet. They are up for pre order. If you go to Amzer's website you will see that they don't ship until 1/5. That is how it has been since the phone came out cause that is when I checked for it so it is not out yet.
Yea I was going to order a couple gel cases and noticed all the products/most are for pre-order

Just got mine and im really happy with it. Fits nice and snug too. Their screen protector on the other hand was a total fail. It never adhered to the screen properly and was in the trash within 10 minutes of delivery.

I was gonna wait for a different case, but i already dropped my phone on the pavement and gave the corner a nice little ding I settled for this case..
Amazon seems to be out of stock. However, one of the other sellers had the case in stock so I ordered through them on Amazon. Fast shipping, too - just got a e-mail the order has been shipped.
please mind your language...
The AMZER silicone cases look nice. I have disliked the Best Buy case since the day I bought it, but any case (well, almost any case) is better than no case. Anyway, Amazon registered the AMZER ones as in stock today, so I ordered one. Optimistically waiting.

I also have Prime (have since it was made available) so I just placed an order for two (one white and one black) and chose 3.99/item one day shipping and should be getting them tomorrow.
Side Note:
I highly recommend Amazon Prime to anyone who uses Amazon frequently. It's only 79.99/year and you can invite up to 4 household members (though I'm sure you can add a friend) to share the membership. The first time I realized how great it was, was when I ordered an industrial strength shredder as a christmas present and because of the bulk the shipping would have been outrageous, so instead I opted for the 3.99/item overnight shipping.
I really need help with this. There's so many cases on Amazon, but I don't know which one is good.
It has to be around the $10 price range, it can be a little over or under. Under preferred.
My Nexus had been naked since I got it in July, let's dress it up.

That's the case I have as well. Paid like $5 for it on eBay and it works great. Not to bulky but feel like it would absorb a fall from 3-4 feet just fine.

Looking to pick up a real Samsung flip cover today. Have a T-Mobile 30% off accessory coupon. Before I waste gas, do the retail stores have the Note 2 flip covers on the shelf?
Edit: nope, just called a few. "Not yet"
Stop in a local Tmobile looking to accessorize my International SGN2 and they aren't expecting accessories until next month.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2
Expect them to be in stock around 11/7
If you don't mind spending the extra few dollars go to the Sprint store and buy one. The case says Samsung so it's all good.

Tried a local T-Mobile store this morning, no accessories in stock. So much for making a splash on one of the best phones of the year.
Once Sandy blows her way through here, I'll try to stop by a Sprint store.
I checked a Verizon store just because it's next door to the tmobile store. lol desperation. ..
Has anyone actually confirmed them at Sprint?
Sprint store had white and black when I bought my phone. Ask for 20 percent off and they will probably give you the discount.

I highly doubt a discount will happen if you (I) am an ATT customer. Are they $39?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2
The 20% off is when you buy 2 or more accessories.
Just got the Samsung flip case from a Sprint store!
I went in just to get whatever they might have to protect the phone a little while i decided what i wanted. They said they had sold out of the other style (the one that clips on over the back and sides) but they had the silver and the white flip cases.
Fyi they did offer the 20% off if i got a second accessory but the only other thing i want right now is maybe that spare battery charger and they only had the s3 one.
At least my screen is protected for now. I will have to be really careful until stores start carrying some other cases that i can try to see what i like.
I like the look of the fly grip too. Wouldn't mind attaching that to the flip case.

Lol, too high , otterbox sells them for 59.95 plus shipping almost knocking down 70 bucks and mine is new also still sealed in box for 42.00 with free shipping and its too high,. Or was you just stating that otterbox in general are too high

Does yours come with 30-day no quesiton asked free return shipping guarantee like Amazon as well? You probably better off selling it on CraigsList where people are less educated about current phone gadgets and pricing

Looks like it varies from state to state. Some people report they seen lots of cases for N2 in BB. Here in NJ best buy only has original flip covers. While most of the Verizon stores carry Otterbox Defender only, and Sprint stores carry Otterbox Commuter only. I would highly suggest buying it from a store where you can test it out. As I said so many times on this and other forums - no matter how many reviews you read/watch, you be the final judge of what's good for you. Plus you don't want a hassle of ordering and returning something you don't like. Another option, use Amazon to order a bunch of different cases, test them out side-by-side at home, and keep the one you like.
only store I've seen Commuters and Defenders for the Note 2 is at Sprint.
I purchased my commuter from a mall cell case kiosk.
