Can anyone direct me to a reputable online store that still sells the Otterbox Defender Series for the T-Mobile/USA version of the HD2?
Does anyone know if the Otterbox Defender screen protector is user replaceable if it gets too scratched up and if so, where does one get the replacement for it?
ditto
i want 1 too
THey seem to be so hard to come by nowadays. I know the phone is abit on the old side, but most places who do stock the Otterbox for the HD2 only carry the commuter series.
The screen is prolly replaceable. Mine has detached on one side, but still fits snugly with the phone in it. Way too bulky for my taste, though.
I just bought a Defender case from fommy.com for $49.95. The one they show is for the international version, but if you search for sku 89100 on their site you will find the one for the US T-Mobile version.
The screen protector is easy to remove, and it appears to be similar to the material used on overhead projectors, so you could easily fabricate another. I actually removed mine and kept the Zagg screen protector on my phone because the Defender protector sort of stuck to the Zagg and made it look like there was moisture between the two, though there wasn't. I also think the Zagg is much tougher. You can get them for about $5.00 on eBay right now.
Good luck!
just lightly dust it with baby powder and the moisture marks will disappear.

Thanks for the tip. If I decide to reinstall that protector I will. Have to find some baby powder first though.
No issues dealing with fommy.com? reselleratings.com don't show very positive ratings with them.

This is the second order I've placed with them in the last 14 months or so. I didn't have any problems at all. Items were in stock as the site showed, shipped promptly, good communication, and the items ordered were delivered (no wrong items).
Did you buy the international or T-mobile Defender from them?

T-Mobile, SKU is 89100
Fommy is out of stock.
Still cannot find Otterbox Defender case for HD2 (US version) anywhere (even ebay). Has anyone purchased one recently and from which website/store?
Bummer about Fommy.
I've seen two on eBay since I bought mine from Fommy. One was used, one was new. Make yourself a search and have them notify you when one comes up for auction or sale.
I hope you come across one, I've found that this phone with the way I've modified the Defender is about bomb-proof.
I can't find a case for this phone anywhere online. I checked amazon and googled it. People were talking about samsung.com, but I don't see anything specifically for the note 2 there. Can everyone just post links of places they got their cases? I really want a case before I destroy the phone. Thanks!

Samsung.com.
Shop products -> Cell Phone Accessories. Should be 20 pages of stuff
Filter for "Cases and Holsters" on the left. Should be 4 pages now.
Go to page 4. Official Samsung flip cover ($40) and protective case ($30) are there in 2 colors each. Use the 50% coupon from thread at the top of this forum.
Also, there is always eBay, and I heard Sprint stores have cases in stock. My T-Mobile store had no accessories
There are not many US-based retailers that have cases for sale at reasonable prices. I have a slew of them coming through eBay but most of them are third-party and shipping from Hong Kong. I checked the T-Mobile store nearby only to find that they did not have any accessories in stock and did not have any idea when they'd be getting them in.
Samsung.com, when I last checked yesterday, did not have any of the flip covers in stock for the Note 2. I put in a backorder on them but have no received an email yet.
Amazon.com, has mostly third-party accessories as well and it's difficult to find the correct items. Keep in mind that you can search for N7100, N7105, SGH-T889, SGH-i317 and many other model numbers.
Hoping within the next week or two that more US retailers begin carrying accessories.
Sprint
Anybody checked if Sprint has any accessories either?
Just called up T-Mo again, and again, "sorry, nothing yet. Looks as we got the phones early or something". Sigh...I think I got a simple one that should be here by next Monday...from Amazon.com
Well that's lame I'd really like to protect my phone. Can you guys post links to the few cases you are finding? I mean why can't we buy from European retailers sites? It's like they aren't selling cases yet either...
Just checked and Samsung.com is indeed out of the Flip cover, but they have the Protective cover in White and Black in stock.

Those are good thanks! And it looks like there are more related too. These must have been added in the last couple days as I could find NOTHING on Amazon last week.

More and more cases are showing up each day. I ordered that Poetic flip case myself last night. Got a notification that it had dropped to $4.95, and there was no shipping cost (even without Prime), so it was pretty much a no-brainer.
Saw that about the Poetic case myself too. Went to order it today and they wanted to charge something like $25 for delivery to Europe Thanks but no thanks. Pity.
If you receive delivery I'd love to read a review

I'm particularly curious to know, when that case and the Note 2 arrive, if it can handle the phone inside of a TPU.
Speaking of TPUs, I haven't heard back from Diztronic yet on whether they're making TPUs for the Note 2. TPUs don't get any better than Diztronic, imo.
Wish there was a seidio case out.. Or something like it.. That was a nice case that protected well

I have bought quite a few cases for my Note original, and then my S3, and now a few for my Note 2, but i always come back to using this one.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/TPU-Gel-Sil...t=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item5d35b91c97
It is cheap and is relatively unobtrusive. It is thin and yet, sturdy enough to protect the phone from a drop from a table top. The sides wrap around the front of the touchscreen just enough to give it protection from putting it directly on a flat table top. The kick stand is very useful to stand this beautiful screen, especially for the kids to watch a show.

Spigen announced their well-known Slim Armor line for the new One M8 a while ago and this case also comes in a sexy Gunmetal color .
I'm actually thinking of buying it, but I am waiting for some experiences from other people, since I've had button issues with their cases in the past (Neo Hybrid for the Galaxy S3 and Slim Armor for the Nexus 5). I've heard that some orders have already been shipped, is there someone here that has already received his order? Please post some of your experiences here if you have :fingers-crossed:

There is no cutout for the power button judging from the pictures. Might affect IR blaster.

I was not thinking on buying a case but this looks beyond sexy. The non-functioning IR blaster may be a deal breaker though. I use my M8 as my control literally every day. Hmmmmm.
I can't figure out why they keep making cases that block the IR blaster. The hybrid bumper case is good looking too, but has the same issue.
Style-wise Spigen is on point, but silly to pay $20 for something that removes functionality.
mine is on its way says in transit
I had one on my galaxy s4 and really liked it. I've messed around with quite a few cases and that one is definitely my favorite. I was also looking at the Incipio Dualpro, not sure if that fixes the IR Blaster problem.
Mine is on its way as well, I'll look into ways to modify it to keep the IR blaster. I don't really use the feature at school but I like to show my friends the feature. Will update on the case when I get it
My mom has the same type of case for her iphone and its sexy. definitely my favorite case especially for this phone because it mimics the design of the phone
i pre-ordered mine, and it was shipped yesterday, cant wait till it gets here!
I really want the gunmetal one, but it's a shame I'll have to wait until April 30th!
I bought my case off their ebay page since it was only $14. Honestly I didn't even realize that I purchased a TPU case until it got here and for the record, I hate hate hate TPU cases.
With that said, this might be one of the nicest cases I have ever put on a phone. Not only is it crystal clear with the cut outs perfect, but its a perfect fit. Just amazing.
2 more quick points... The buttons actually feel a little better to the touch and the IR blaster works perfectly.
Another perfect Spigen case.
Crystal clear? Are you sure that is the slim armor?

Ordered on March 26th
Shipped on April 7th
Delivered on April 11th
Unfortunately the UPS tracking number that was provided in my Amazon account does not even resemble a normal UPS tracking number so I am unable to tell when it will arrive. However when it does, I will be sure to come back and give it a run down.
EDIT: It looks like this was shipped straight from the manufacturing facility in Korea to Spigen in California...then to me. Hence the reason the UPS tracking did not show up via conventional UPS.com tracking.
For anyone who per-ordered and has a UPS Tracking # that does not show up via ups.com. It will show up if you go to UPS Mail Innovations.
First impressions of case: Fits phone very well, feels great in the hand...the only negative I see is the lack of an IR window. But other than that...it's a keeper.

Same here, guessing they are shipping it from wherever it's made in China. I'm refusing it either way, no IR and sounds like it's more bulky than I want.

Wanted to know if there is "glue" that makes the glass stick to the screen in the screen area or it's only in the black parts?

I don't understand how it can fit the phone well if the TG is not curved at the edge itself ?
Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using XDA-Developers mobile app
looks like have no glue in screen area, no go for me, bad sunlight visibilty.
Hm. Seems I would need to buy a new one. Thanks for the video as it's useful! Just gotta find a link for EU people.
From Orzly customer service:
Thank you for your e-mail. I can confirm that whilst it is true that we are due to receive a revised version of our existing Black 2.5D Pro-Fit OnePlus 3 screen protector we still haven't had any stock delivered.
I am hopeful we will receive a delivery within the next couple of weeks. Once these come in all relevant listings will be changed in order to reflect that the 2.5D screen protector has been changed.
I think I may buy one of these... The nillkin H+ Pro is garbage, it has left 2 stripes of air on both edges, and they make the front screen pretty ugly. However, screen visibility, colour reproduction etc is very good.
The important question here is whether it has glue on the middle like the official OnePlus curved TG.

So the old ones are still around.... Maybe they have still a lot of unsold stocks, however I don't know how could I recognise the new model from the old one when buying it from Amazon (.it) . There is no mention of any product revision or similar advices, not even on their official site.

I have asked from them last week and they said that revision isnt just ready yet, about 1-2 weeks and all listings (official site, Ebay, Amazon) will be updated. But we need also remember that there is also 3rd party sellers which may have old stock still. But i'm gonna order from Amazon.co.uk when they have relisted revision version.
I just put one of these protectors on my phone. I gotta say that I'm pretty impressed. Went on easy, no rainbow halo, dots not visible when the screen is on, and it works with my Orzly Grip Pro. I DID have to be a little more careful when I put the case on, but it otherwise was as simple and pain-free as it could be. I'm pretty happy with the results so far.
**edit**
At work, under florescent lights, i see the halo. I also see the dots and I sure as hell see the fingerprints. Still no issues with the edges lifting or anything. Meh, its really no worse than the OEM protector it came with.

After reading your post, I contacted Orzly to ask them when I could expect mine. They told me they are not yet shipping the renewed 2.5D screenprotectors... Strange.... Guess you must have been lucky to receive the new version.
Probably just the same but a different batch which is ever so slightly smaller from another batch.

Yeah seems like it's slowly filtering through to their Amazon stores.
the video shows that the glass is compatible whit the spigen rugged armor but when i put my one plus 3 in the case the glass come out. Someone have the same problem?
Hey everybody.
I've been testing different Screen protector for the S7 Edge over the past months and came to the conclusion that the official one made by samsung (http://amzn.to/2AZaGqn) is the best screen protector out there.
I even made a video review about it which can be seen here: https://youtu.be/824A2aA1rrQ
What screen protector do you use and have you tried the ones made by samsung already? Cheers
I've got some of these on order mate, thanks for the video, looks like they are a good option. I've paid £10 for two here in the UK which I thought was reasonable. They should hopefully be arriving mid week so I'll post back with my thoughts.
So from my experience, these screen protectors are great quality and easy to apply but you won't stand a chance of using a tpu case with them as they come right to the edge of the screen on all sides and the corners lift instantly. I tried using a spigen rugged armour and had no joy at all.
Where?
Where can one purchase this though? It's not available on Amazon. Or anywhere else I've looked.
