Did anyone buy a case with a full FRONT screen cover built-in like the OtterBox Defender series?

I haven't seen any in aliexpress. Maybe because it's not popular anymore.

can anyone show how the defender case looks or carries on the belt?
I'm looking for a fairly durable case (just for me clumsily dropping it... I work a computer job so it doesn't need to be bulletproof) with some sort of kickstand and a belt clip. The only 2 I've seen by reputable brands I've seen for this has been the OtterBox Defender (with the holster being the kickstand) and the Seidio Active (with the case having it's own kickstand).
The Otterbox Defender seems overkill for my needs, but my wife has an Otterbox Commuter for her iPhone 5 and I'm super impressed with the build quality. But the Commuter has no kickstand or belt clip. I was curious if anyone has experience with the Seidio Active and how it compares to the OB Commuter and if the kickstand being way off center is an issue in day to day use? Or if there are any other suggestions?
The Active for the Note 2 is getting somewhat dubious reviews based on the inner layer being very loose around the edges. I personally won't use an Otter Box Defender because the interior plastic case, in a perfect display of why hard plastic should never be in direct contact with your phone, scratches up the phone case itself, the built-in screen protector actually traps dust and sand under it (leading to scratches), and the whole thing caused overheating problems with my Skyrocket.
I'm awaiting a Seidio Surface case, but if you look on eBay or Amazon, you'll find cases that are essentially identical to the Seidio active, but $10-12 instead of $40+. On eBay, they're called Rugged cases. On Amazon, they're called Rhino cases.
I looked at the Surface as it also has a kickstand but I'm a little hesitant as it just doesn't seem to provide enough protection. Maybe I'm a little "gun shy" because I dropped my last phone and cracked the screen. That's also the reason I'm hesitant about any of the $10 cases on Amazon or Ebay. Does their protection really compare with something like an Otterbox or Seidio?
i actually ordered an Active that just arrived, but im going to send it back without even trying it. too many reviews about the rubber bring loose has turned me off from it. i have an Ionic case on it now and it seems that it might due until the Trident Aegis comes out. I'm wondering if the Aegis can fit in the Seidio holster? Otherwise I'll continue to pocket it and wait for something else.
I'm not going with the Defender because of the rubber inner peace loosing it's form over time with previous purchases. Ottorbox has had excellent customer service with replacements, but I don't want to go through the hassle.
I have the rugged/rhino case for my note 2.
It's ok, I personally don't like the feel of the rubber, especially compared to otterbox or casemate.
Also the bottom part of it is pretty loose.
It's ok for $8 but I'll be replacing it soon when something else shows I like.

I too have the Rugged (from eBay) while I wait for Seidio to process my refund of the Active. The holster for the Rugged is mega cheap, and the clip popped off on the first day that I had it last week. I contacted the seller, who actually sent me a whole new case and holster, which is nice, but it is the same POS holster that will break soon. It will do while I wait it out.
Just and FYI, I received and email from Ballistic that their case is now out for order.

Hi,
Anyone know of a horizontal leather carry case that will fit the phone with the protective cover plus on it? I've seen the XXXL case on the american amazon, but that's not over here in the UK that I can see, and I think it states it can fit the phone with the otterbox commuter case on which means I think it'd be a little too big for the samsung case?

i think that's what you're looking for.
it's a tight fit, but it will work.
i just tested it myself, and it's at the absolute limit of what the pouch can handle.
So I ordered one of those knox armor cases for $14 off Amazon. They're similar looking to the Otterbox and offer similar protection. Only thing is they don't have a built in protector but that's not a big deal because I have tempered glass on mine.
Only think I really don't like is just like the Otterbox Defender, the rubber near the home key tends to work a little loose after riding around in my pocket.
The rubber around it seems a bit more dense so hopefully it last longer than the Defenders. After just a couple months my Defenders always become looser due to the rubber wearing.
It's not the best case but for $14 bucks I'll take it over a Defender though. It provides more protection than the Supcase too. Only other durable case I can think of that is more durable than this is my Poetic Revolution which I love but it's huge and doesn't work with wireless charging like this one does

This is probably the best case in amazon I've had it since I've had my phone along with the built in screen protector I use tempered glass. I do construction and I wear my 800$ phone on my tool belt with confidence. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B013D...+belt+clip&dpPl=1&dpID=51PBx5XllCL&ref=plSrch

I got a Supcase. I like the built in screen protector on it but it is a it thin for my liking. I think the best case for being really rugged is the Poetic Revolution but it is kind of over kill but a great case. Again for max protection Supcase is like commuter case to me. The Ulak case is thick and feels more like a Defender. If Ulak case wears like the Otterbox I'll probably rip the temperd glass off and go back to Supcase or the P

To each his own but I'll go to bat for the unicorn beetle. I v dropped it plenty of times and not even the tempered glass has broken yet..... knock on wood. The buttons work great and it has a belt clip. Can't beat that in my book
I've got the ulak, and I really like it. I was going to get the supcase, but I REALLY don't like built in screen protectors.

I like the built in one on the supcase. It isn't like Otterbox. It fits flush so dirt doesn't get under it. However the Supcase is stiff and too thin for my liking for drop protection. The Ulak seems good. Even if it only last 6 months it was only 14 bucks. My otterBox after 3 months was wearing a lot so I bought other cases. Waste of 50 bucks. My next Note phone I'll order some Amazon cases a few days before I buy the phone so I'm not suckered into buying otterboxes.
I have and use the supcase daily. I love the fit and finish you can definitely tell it's a well made piece. I did also grab one of the Knox armor cases too for around 3 dollars with a coupon code from amazon. Side by side it's easy to tell the supcase built much better. As far as drop protection goes between the two I have no idea, but I have dropped my note a couple times so far. I have yet to actually put the ulak case on, never found a reason to take the supcase off

The Supcase the phone feels kind of thin to grip. Maybe it's because I'm so used to using Otterbox Defender and Poetic Revolution cases. I always thought the Note 5 was a bit thin to grip.
Another good case to check out is the Artech 21. I like the Supcase but it just seems a bit too thin especially with all the glass on this phone. That is why I went with the Ulak. So far after a week it's still holding up well compared to the Defender I have.
Which of these is the better one to get
Otterbox Symmetry Case for V60
UAG Scout for V60
Currently have the UAG Plasma for the V30
Combined with the InvisibleShield Glass Elite Screen Protector with VisionGuard, how well does it work with a capacitive stylus?
And with color ("Classy Blue" or "Classy White") is better with a case?
Uag and blue is better

It's out of stock on Amazon but is available on eBay or UAG website for the same price. I'm not a fan of grimy clear cases get so I prefer the UAG. I also think it provides better protection from the looks of it
I normally love UAG my favorite brand but the scout looks like ass :-( so boring.
I have a Nimbus9 Phantom 2. Priced in the $35 range, but I think that it makes the phone stand out..
Otterbox Symmetry is absolutely useless. It actually increases your chances of breaking your phone. It's literally so slippery that if placed on your desk it will just slide right off with even a 2 degree slope, i.e don't put it on a book or magazine. Especially so if it's plugged into the pc, the charging cable will just drag it right to the floor. I had to cover the back of mine with skateboard grip tape off amazon, (comes in a roll) just to make it useable. I don't' know how they can go from the defender to the symmetry, it's also like an F.U for not buying the defender, but they don't' even make a defender for this one.
I just got the dual screen , but it really kills your battery so for out of the house use I think I'm going back to a case .
For cheap, go with the caseology vault,

at only 13 bucks, or if you want something like the otterbox defender, there is the LOVE MEI case on amazon
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08BFGTSFG?psc=1&smid=A2HHE1SMSUC1HT&ref_=chk_typ_imgToDp
for 24 bucks. I just ordered one, It looks good. Silicone inside, hard aluminum outside, it actually screws together so none of that issue we'd all have with the otterbox where it stretched overtime and wouldn't snap in place like it used to. Plus it comes with a tempered glass screen protector and you don't' have to bother removing's some cheap plastic junk screen protector from the e case like you do with other ones of this build .
Oh plus the latter comes in 4 colors as well.
Adding a super cheap option
https://www.amazon.com/Osophter-Sho.../B085GGGLXR/ref=psdc_3081461011_t5_B08BFGTSFG
comes in 4 colors as well and goes for only 8$.
