I will throw this out there for anyone interested in a otterbox defender, I ordered a defender case for my photon and it mistakenly came in a Droid bionic defender box. More than likely Bionic is getting a defender.

There will indeed be one. I work @ a VZW corporate store, and we got a Defender series for launch.
It's actually rather interesting. It's the first Defender that I can recall with a smooth silicon outer covering, as opposed to the textured feel on the X, X2 & iPhone 4.
It's nice, but seems like it might be a little harder to grip in/out of pockets...I guess time will tell
Will there be any blue colored cases available at launch? Or am I stuck with hitting up eBay and the like for one?
It would be nice if they would make one for the extended life batteries. I haven't seen one yet that they have.
I picked one up at VZW for 37 and some change last night. Amazon does not have them yet but otterbox even has them on there site for 49.99. But your best bet would be to go to the VZW store and see what kind of deal they can work out. I think i got like 35% off the 49.99.
Hopefully it's better than the defender for the Atrix. Not impressed with it at all! The silicone cover is really loose, which causes it to snag on things and try to pull off. I emailed them about it and got a replacement, but it's just as loose. I have a Ballistic HC case in the mail right now. Hopefully it's better than the otterbox.
Otterbox had a Defender and a Commuter available at launch. Only the Defender was available from Verizon yesterday. I'd love to get a commuter, but I don't want to have to pop the cover every night to dock the phone.
Confirmed.
See if you can get a deal if you get one in-store, a lot of places will give you a % off.
I have it and I HATE it...added TONS of bulk to the phone and can't use with the extended battery

Otterbox hates extended batteries.
And why is the commuter series never with a holster? That's the one I want cause it's thinner and the plastic makes it easier to slip in/out of the pocket but I need a holster for work. Sigh.....
Did you folks who got a discount buy it with your phone? I went to three stores trying to buy the case only, and no one would offer a discount unless I bought a phone, too.
I bought mine from the store and did not buy a phone.
For those complaining about the bulk and size of the defender are missing the point. The case is to the the best protection money can buy. I feel it is.
My 1 tiny, small problem with the defender is the charging port opens to the wrong side. Hdmi (used less) is easy to plug in while mini usb (used much more) is more difficult to plug in.

See, I like more bulk/weight to my phone... Are you happy with it? Is the holster easy to use? Also, my friend had one for the Atrix, and he said it slid up and down because it wasn't a tight fit. Any truth to this? Thanks
i honestly don't use the holster, but clicking it in and out just testing it, there's zero play.
i love the case and would recommend it to anyone.
Gotcha. Glad to hear if I'm going to be dropping $49.99 on a case for my phone...
I purchased the Defender Series on day one at my local VZW store but after having it for almost a week I can easily say it is way too bukly for my liking. The rubber outsole is also a major pain for me for two main reasons. The first is that it likes to stick to my pockets making it hard to take out or put back in, and second all the fuzzies and lint in my pocket stick to it. Also never used the holster.
I ordered the Commuter Series and hopefully it will be here by the end of the week so that I can return my Defender case.
Just picked up my Bionic and Defender case from Best buy about an hour ago.
I went in there yesterday looking at it since its $249 and no tax here. They didnt have anything in stock as far as accessories went. I told them I would think about it since Costco had a pretty good deal on it as well. Well I decided i liked the sound of the Buy Back Program they offered so I went for it. They were trying everything yesterday to make up for such a great deal at Costco.
I went back in today and low and behold they just unboxed 3 Defender cases. I told them I wanted to keep the price under $300 for everything so the assistant manager came out and told me he would do the Phone for $200 and then sell me the black tie with buy back and also the defender for $289. I couldnt pass up paying $289 out the door for this setup so I took it. I am more than happy with my purchase today.
I ended up getting my case at VZW store with a nice little discount from a friend. Its a perfect fit with the belt clip no play at all. Solid feel similar to the xoom case. Although its bulkier than most cases you know your phone will survive almost anything.

What do you mean "play"?
Also, to the person complaining about the outter case attracting lint, that's why you keep it in the holster and one of the reasons I'm moving towards it. The lint is already creeping in my phone so I want to keep it out.

Hi,
I have returned my Thrill a week after receiving the Ballistic Case for it. It's a really nice rugged case with reinforced corners.
I'd like to sell it to whoever might need it.
It's in Brand New condition and comes with an unopened screen protector (pack of 2) from BodyGuardz (HD Anti-glarre)
The case is the one sold at the Att store.
I will sell the whole thing for $25 Shipped obo.
Thank you!
any chance to ship it to guadalajara, mexico?
hey
you still got it?
Please use market place forum
Has anyone heard if they'll be releasing an official grip shell case for the new Moto G? I have one on my current Moto G and I think its a must have.
Its already out. You can buy it at RadioShack for $15

The grip shell that replaces the existing back cover and has the dimple on the back? Or are you just talking about a generic bumper case?
If its for the 2nd gen moto g there is not one out. I looked everywhere including Motorola.com and I didn't see any like that. There is a flip case though.

I've currently got a 2013 Moto X, and I'm pretty keen on upgrading to the new version, but I'm concerned that it's too big for my hands. I use the 2013 version very comfortably, and have found I can use a Galaxy S5 pretty well too since the backing is a bit grippy. Unfortunately the new Moto X doesn't have a return policy, so I'm loathe to pick up the phone without knowing it's something I can use.
My current developer edition (with the white polycarbonate backing) is very slick. I'd like something a bit grippier.
I'm considering the wood primarily, but does it have texture? Can you grip it OK? What about the leather? I'm very gentle on my phones, so I'm not that concerned about it wearing, but leather can be hit and miss as far as tactile feel.
Any other thoughts on this? Thanks

This section is about the Moto G 2014, not the Moto X, probably no one will be able to answer you that here.
Ah, very sorry. Thanks for the heads up.
i have the leather version of moto x 2014... i never used cover so the back of the phone is kinda bumped/scratched/shocked etc....
i have been thinking in some leather fixers that they sell around internet... but i was wondering if there was a better way/
