[Open Thread] Thoughts On Otterbox Case For EVO Shift 4G

So I just wanted to start a thread for myself and anyone else who may want to read it
Basically anyone who has an otterbox case for the evo shift or has seen/used it or whatever just leave your opinions/reviews whatever. I am thinking of buying one so just wondering

I don't have one for the Shift but I've used an Otterbox on other devices and would recommend it if you have the slightest fear of damaging your handset.
I believe the last one I used was a Commuter which completely encased the handset and seemed to be able to take a hit. The back was too smooth for me so I had a little trouble re-learning how to hold it and the thickness of the handset increased significantly but overall it felt safe. Worth the extra money.

I am using the otterbox commuter case on my shift right now. I like it a lot. The fit and finish seems like it is completely a part of the phone. Only two complaints are:
1. If I try to move an icon from one hone screen to another, the piece covering the screen makes it difficult to move it to the "edge" - not a big deal, you learn to adjust.
2. When opening the slider, I hear a click sound, sounding like the little tabs holding the upper piece on are catching as it moves. Again, kinda not picky.
All in all, I think it is a great case and makes me worry a lot less about dropping my device. I would definitely recommend it.

Awesome seems like ill want to pick it up. I recently cracked the screen on my shift and made a few scuff marks so that's what seriously turned me to getting the case.

Tip for putting on the included screen protector...patience and a clean work surface! I couldn't get it to work well at first, then I ended up dropping it on the carpet. I was ready to give up on it until my wife took it from me and got it to work. So...if you have the patience of an ADHD kid on meth like I do...lol. It was my first screen protector too so. Anyways have fun!

definitely worth getting. i have the commuter series otterbox and it makes my phone look and feel like a beast. only thing that annoys me sometimes is the dust/lint that gets stuck to the rubber on the case, but i just blow it off.

I haven't had a problem opening the slider at all.
I have one and love it! Top of the line case, looks good feels good and protects good! I would totally recommend it to anyone with a Shift!..

I use it on my shift, and have had them on two other phones. Like everyone else said, its a great case, and really does look like a part of the phone.

I'm now on my second otterbox after a free factory replacement, my only nit pics are the usb port cover doesn't stay closed, and it clicks everytime I open it, feels like one of the clips is catching....

Just got the Commuter series and I'm a fan so far. Makes the phone feel more substantial and gives a better grip. The only issue was with the headphone and USB port covers, which didn't stay down. I just removed them, but DON'T Rip them off, it'll tear the rubber casing. Found that out on the USB port one so I cut the headphone one off. Either way makes the rubber a little loose around the port but not hugely annoying unless you're a perfectionist(which I can be). I'll just apply a little glue and seat it on the plastic frame.

That's great. The retail price from otterbox.com is $35 so thats a great buy. There's just something about ebay that I can't trust lol. That's me and my paranoia tho.

I guess that's not technically a bad thing if the fronts hard to get off.
I just hope the back isn't the same when I get mine.

Nope I can confirm that, being really careful you can take the back without any problem..
I Think that the front parts being hard to take off it's a good thing.

Had mine for 2 or 3 months now
Bought it from Amazon for like $25 when they finally came available for the shift and had to wait a month before I got it in hand.
I'm not as impressed as i would be with the protection if it was a defender case. I had the black case with fake carbon fiber and belt clip before. The otterbox commuter is better then that one, by how much I'm not sure.
I dropped my phone about a month ago. I don't know if it just hit the right place of the case, and the back case came flying off the phone, the side clips where busted off, so the back case would not stay on any more.
I decided to call up otterbox and see if it was under warr. and if they would replace it. AMAZINGLY they said YES so they shipped me a new one for free i didn't even have to pay shipping. NICE. It was quick and easy I thought that was soooo cool. Because of that i will continue to buy otterbox, and recommend them to others.
In future i hope to buy defender cases (better protection) which means no more slider phones which i think i am ready for now that touch screens are so much better. All my old phones have been sliders with full keyboards from back in the day with my old HTC t-mobile MDA, which made me find this site.
Thats my 2 cents.

I like this guy. Deadmau5 pic and demanding genuine leather! I'm hoping for a case from these guys: http://www.vajacases.com/ - Got one for my PlayBook last year and it's awesome.
Shame they got shipped and delivered to the UK first yet there are very few accessories released here yet. Will be a while until we have a genuine leather case with the 'smart' magnetic bit.

that case has been on sale for years. it's so ugly. Giant leather bondage strap holding down your nexus 7? ugly.

I picked up a leather smart case similar to this one at Big Lots for $8.00. High quality material ! They have lots of 7" case options there for a budget price......scrarch resistant screen protectors , stylus pens , bluetooth speakers etc....
BigLots. com serach the left hand side by ELECTRONICS to see their tablet stuff.

I say patience is a virtue. We all know the tablet for what it is. You either like it or you don't. Most of us have already pre--ordered and are waiting for them to arrive right now.
As far as the caes go, I'd rather feel what they're like in my hand. Via pictures of cases online, 10 look great for ipad and other devices, however only 1-2 actually feel and function as nice as they seem to be described and pictured online.(not cheap feeling, or feeling like they'l literally fall apart, lacking features cleverly not pictured, etc.

For me none of the cover/cases on Amazon (I was at the local Best Buy to take a look at 7" stuff) are aesthetically pleasing. I ordered a "padded pouch" off Etsy.com and I'm gonna get a sturdy "case" when one becomes available.

I have not had my hands on any of these cases recently but I did get my hands on one for the nook several years ago. the case was solidly designed and with good quality leather.
They have several nice designs, but are a bit on the more expensive side.

Maybe but i thought they worth mention because i know a lot of "dumb" people that have bought these for their devices. The ipad ones are 123 bucks. But the quality of the covers is probably the tops of what i have ever seen.

I generally HATE leather cases but if they came out with a Necronomicon one a la Evil Dead/Army of Darkness I would be all over it.

But I bought one of these for my wifes nook back in the day and it is a sweet case. Definately worth the price, when you talk about quality equating to price.

They look so Diablo'ish! If Deckard Cain had a tablet.... This would be the case he would use!! Haha

Guess I am one of the dumb one. Would prefer buying quality 1 time as opposed to 5 cheap Chinese knockoff crap but more power to you.

Define "Quality" because aside from a single expensive slab of leather, there's NOTHING here. This case offers nearly ZERO protection against, well, anything. The damned tablet is literally held in with STRINGS FFS! Not good ones either, nooo. They are elastic bungee and will allow the thing to hit the ground under impact. Then they want you to bend it backwards and TIE IT THAT WAY and call this a stand? LOL. Now, sure the leather is nice looking. But to call this a "case" is probably illegal in several countries. Let's call it what it is. It's a fashion accessory. Nothing more. Now if a fashion accessory is worth more to you than protecting your device, then by all means spend 70 bucks on it. It's a free country. I want you to have whatever you want, and pay as much as you want to for it. But don't come in here talking down to everyone else that didn't buy this case like we are dumb and are gonna have to replace ours over and over while you, in your infinite wisdom, will not. This just makes you a douche bag, Our cases might be less expensive, but every one of those 5 "Chinese Knockoffs" (as you call them)will protect this device better and for longer than this ridiculous attempt at a case. Does that make you dumb for having bought one? Only if you labor under the delusion that because you paid so much for it, it's somehow a better quality case and will protect your tablet better. Because it won't. Not even close. It's just pretty. Pretty useless.

Definitely agree. Although these are very nice looking, for $70 I'll probably go with something else. The fact that they sell replacement bungee cords makes me question whether it will last.

The replacement cord I think is for the closing mechanism to the case. That would make sense I think.
I bought the case for my wife's nook based on the look, quality and yes protection of it. The nook is already covered with a skin from decalgirl.com and a screen protector, and using this cover does indeed offer some protection. No it's not a Seidio case, it's a case that is pretty much a wallet lol. But the protection I speak of is the protection of the screen from impact if something would happen to fall upon the screen.
But everyone has their opinion, which is fine, but why the hate. If you don't like it, move on. There are many other choices out there besides this if this doesn't float your boat.

Exactly. Never said there was anything wrong with buying it. Just saying that simply because it's 10x the price of all these others does not mean in any way that it's "Worth" 10x as much in protection or durability. So people acting like it is are only kidding themselves.

I was going to buy one instantly, then I saw that the tablet was held in by strings and elastic cords, and while its stunning on the outside, it looks cheap as **** when the cover opens. I wish they had a better looking system to secure the tablet, that's atrocious.

I kinda agree with you there, but I think of it as being able to use the same case in another 7" device down the road.

I've had a couple of their cases and trust, they're anything but cheap looking and feeling. I bought mine used from other forum members, so I paid half, but that's a QUALITY case. They don't charge those prices for nothing. They can charge that because it's a great case and there's a market for them. You won't pay it, fine. They are supposed to have an old world feel to them. The leather and wool on the inside is something.

If you watch the video on the Oberon website it shows that the tablet is held in quite securely in the case. Also they give you extra strings to close the latch so if you can go a year without having to replace it I'd consider that a non issue.
I'm interested in hearing any reviews for this case

I wouldn't care if it would be three times the cost of the device, I would definitely be buying that! :laugh:

No I don't belive cost = quality (far from it actually). Didn't mean to start anything but I do think a lot of thought went into these. The video was very informative about the design choices (which is what it always comes down to).
As far as protection my opinion is that as long as the cover is closed the edges of the leather will absorb more than most without transferring the shock to the tablet. If it falls with the cover open there is a greater chance of it breaking (just like the rest)

FlyGrip a necessity?

I am surprised no one has posted about this as of yet.
QBKing77's youtube channel has a video review of this "contraption".
Currently there is a deal where you get a free TPU case (i think thats what it is called) with the purchase of a $30 FlyGrip.
He also mentions how you get a discount by using his name at the checkout.
I am almost convinced to get one, but would like your input on this.
Check out this video where he discusses the flygrip (somewhere in there).

Not sure if it would add too much bulk
Pricing with shippingmmakes it quite expensive for us international buyers

I've been using it for about a week now, and haven't regretted that decision. It's definitely a must if you're using your N2 a lot with single hand. I'm still waiting for Aduro case to release their awesome kickstand case that they had for the GSIII:

I would love to hear from you! I need someone to convince me into getting this, its just that $30 doesnt seem to worth it...

I've been on the fence with this since i saw a video review of these a few weeks ago. I am horrible about ordering things online. I search the heck out of them and then never buy anything. I really like to see things in person.
I really like the idea though. Seems like it would really make the phone more comfortable for me. I have the flip cover and i usually have one finger between it and the back of my phone which gives me a pretty secure grip but after a few minutes my poor finger starts to feel smashed back there.
Maybe i should just break down and go for it. I could use the free case for testing the mod for using a tpu case with the flip cover.
So indecisive....

Too bad they had super expensive shipping to Sweden
Sent from a big Note 2

I got one. The guy is real easy to deal with. I had to swap mine from white to black since Tmobile had no white Note2s. He did it without issue. I carried my phone for a week w/o the clip and now about a week with the clip. I find its a nice bonus. I mostly use it when I'm relaxing and holding the phone at odd angles. Its great for that, very secure. In day to day use I don't really use it since my TPU case has really good grip already.

I had my phone for almost a week before I got my flygrip. In my opinion it makes the phone much easier to use one handed. I have maybe slightly above average hands and I can reach the whole screen easier with it. The stand feature is very nice too. I have mine on a body glove and feel extremely confident I have a very secure grip on my phone when using it. Weird angle gripping is much easier as well. I would recommend one for the GNII 100%
Regurgitated From My Giant Note II

What time curious about is how easy it is to transfer between cases or devices. I saw a video of somebody removing the FlyGrip and it looked to be some super adhesive material.
How resuable is it exactly?
Edit: Took a closer look and looks like you could grab a pack of 3 replacement adhesives. Was really excited for it despite the price since you could say it's justified with the TPU case throw in....but unfortunately the shipping code "QBKING77" is limited only to the States. Really disappointed since I'll have to pass just based on the shipping costs.
Sent from my GT-I9100M

I had one on my Sensation, and am awaiting new adhesive, but I LOVE my Flygrip. Thing is simply amazing. I didn't think that I would get 30 bucks worth out of thin cheap plastic, but I've been sorely tempted to pickup a second one for my tablet. Also, they have pretty good customer support, I've called three times, and it's always the same guy that answers. I actually prefer this to the kickstand cases because of the one handed grip support. I can't text on my bike without it, especially with this phone. I'll upload a couple pictures as soon as I get my sticky backs

I just took mine off of my Sensation, and it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. It took some forcing to actually begin to remove it, as it is really pretty damn strong, but once I got it separated from the old case it was simple enough to just rub the remaining residue away. It does leave a very clean rectangle on whatever case you put it on after removal lol.

So emailed FlyGrip with some questions. Response was very quick, not to mention a nice surprise with the great customer service!
" .... Additional tape provided”, are there extra adhesive tapes in each FlyGrip package? Or that we would have to buy the pack of 3 if we were interested in replacements?

Flygrip comes with (1) extra adhesive. So after you remove it, you can put the new adhesive on.* "Some" people try using the existing adhesive.* It depends on how sticky it still is.* We recommend to use a new one, but sometimes the adhesive is sticky enough to reuse.* We sell (3) packs for $2.47.

Also, a shot in the dark but I'm wondering if you do happen to have any promotions going on for international shipping (namely to Canada) as the FlyGrip was something I was immediately excited for, only to see the cost of shipping.

I asked my manager. You can USE "INTL5" as a code, to receive $5 off shipping.

Looks great but $30 is a lot for what it is. I'll wait for the cheap eBay HK version

Love my FlyGrip. I enjoy knowing I'm not going to drop the phone, but I really purchased it because I'm an ex-EVO user and knew I'd miss the kickstand. I use it as a kickstand whenever the phone isn't in my pocket. Right now I'm using the free case that was included, but I'll take it off in a few weeks. I usually don't go for bold colors, but got the blue kickstand and a royal blue case. Nice looking.
He has lots of videos on the site to help with making a decision. Oh, no, it doesn't add bulk, it's only 1/4" deep. USA made and the packaging is very good looking, would make a great gift.

I think it's a smarter decision to look at these.

Much cheaper, and they look more versatile.

[Q] Can you change the backs?

Hi All,
I'm considering the Moto X as a replacement for my Nexus 5. I'm kinda undecided about wood vs leather for the back - but I was wondering, can the backs be swapped out easily enough? I'd then be tempted to buy a wood one, and a leather back later on if I fancy a change. I believe this was fairly common practice with the old Moto X - but not seen it mentioned with regards to the new one.
Thanks.

No, you cannot, the back cover is sealed using an adhesive. Go for the wood one, the leather will get worn out soon.

Thanks very much. I would take the wood over leather anyway, since it's a bit different. Just need to work out which wood though.. I'm keen on 3 out of 4 of them! I've only seen bamboo in person (it was nice, but lighter than I thought). Had a lovely feel to it though. I'd love to see and feel the others before buying but I suspect it won't be possible.

Try and watch some video reviews, read reviews on the web, high res pictures. These should help you decide by giving you a better idea. Use the thanks button instead of typing it out, much easier. Oh and , if your gonna put a case on it anyway, you could always buy the plastic back one and save some cash.

I saw a video where someone took of the back, it came of with some damage but I think a new one could be glued back on
