An Otterbox Defender would be awesome so! They are really protective and I absolutely love them! Hopefully if enough people ask, one will be made. Here's the link to request: http://www.otterbox.com/contact-us/

That's a commuter..... Defender covers the entire phone and offers much more protection against everything.
also waaaaay more bulky and waaaaay more ugly.

Why don't you read up on it? The Defender usually comes in other colors. It's basically a hard, polycarbonate shell that covers the phone like a case with a hinge type mechanism and is covered by a layer of a silicone skin that contours to the polycarbonate. The screen is covered already by a built in plastic layer that acts as a screen protector. It also makes the phone water "resistant" meaning you can use it in mildly wet environments like a rainy day for example, but can't submerge it. They are much more shock resistant than any other case and will protect the phone from long, hard drops. Basically, best you can get to make your phone indestructable!

The Nexus One Defender looks much better than I expected.
Finally Otterbox got the Nexus One fully covered

This kind of pisses me off. I asked about a defender case as well (have had my commuter case for a month) and they didn't give me any info. Now they have the defender available. I STILL have the Impact case too. F*ck. With discounts, i've already spent $43 in cases for this phone and i'm about to upgrade because I'd like to have something a little more 'water-resistant'.

Exactly! I asked, they said they had NO IDEA ABOUT ANYTHING. A week later.... it shows up! I've wanted the Defender even before I owned the Nexus, this just breaks my heart lol
i have the commuter now too but i just ordered the defender with a coupon code for free shipping and 10% off techbargains6100p from the otterbox website, code expires end of this month. selling my commuter in another n1 forum, hope someone buys it
Good luck!
I managed to break my commuter not even by dropping it, I was changing sims and a side piece came unstuck, going to try this defender.
Well, I've spent $85 in cases in the past 3 weeks. Bought a $20 crystal boxwave TPU case. A Otterbox Commuter as well as a green/black Case-mate tough case. So I have plenty to offer up for someones defender if anyones interested
I will be getting one of these pronto. Just making sure the defender is a plastic case with rubber on the outside correct? oh and one more thing does the plastic inside case have a screen protector attached like one of the iphone otterboxes
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Yes, exactly as the iphone one. It's a hard plastic shell, then a silicone cover that goes on top of that. The screen protector is all in one with the hard shell.
I can't take anything you say seriously because your 'signature' is grotesquely huge and obnoxious.

**just checked and it's not for sale as of yet..
my field of work warrants an otterbox for sure but i want one that is waterproof.
cant have an otter that wont get wet.
cool stuff
I am pretty excited I have never had a phone that Otter made a case for, but my friend has a Defender on his 3Gs and it works for sure! I wish they covered the front of the phone though... I might get the Commuter series, but I already have a Body Glove case and Tough Case from Case-Mate lol
But I signed up to be alerted, because it looks sleek and much stronger than anything I've seen so far!

I'm going to need to see some reviews of this one before buying.
The reason i bought a case-mate tough case is because one person wrote that his nexus one survived a 35 foot drop onto concrete. If this otterbox could do the same and then some, its worth it and i'll buy it. I'll be looking forward to those reviews (and pics) guys. Peace
Whats the difference between them?
Looks like the "Impact" one covers more of the phone? but then its also cheaper?

I have the impact and the commuter for the iPhone. If they are anything like those:
The impact is a simple silicone case, a very nice hardened silicone that doesn't attract nearly as much dust and grime as your typical case.
The commuter may be one piece or it may be two, its like an impact case (silicone) with a hard plastic shell over it, this means that it slips out of your pocket much easier. It also has plugs to plug up the holes that flip out.
I just got a confirmation email from Otter Box that the Nexus One case is now available.
Just put a order in for a commuter case. Shipping was $4.80 for USPS ground. This code gave me 10% ($3.50) off of my order.
amcc0310n (found it here)
I'll post some pictures and a review when it gets here. Anyone have any experience with their screen protectors that comes with the case?
Have seen a few on Iphones they were bubbled. Maybe they didnt install them right. I'm sticking with my amzer screen protector. And using the commander case. I'll have ultimate protection best skin ever, amzer screen protector and otterbox commuter case. SWT
Well I will be ordering a Commuter on payday tomorrow, and I hope that 10% off works haha
Thanks

Justed ordered commute case, thanks for coupon, works good.
Has anyone found a holster that would work with the commuter case for the N1? I have the Seidio Innocase II combo right now and I need the holster for my line of work!!!
I will start this review by saying that I have owned a variety of different phones ( i get a new phone every 5-6 months) and with each of these phones i buy an expensive case (roughly 20-30 dollars)
The Case-Mate Tough Case beats them all.
I read every review on this board and decided to go with the Blue and Black Case-Mate Tough Case and it has been great.
The included screen protector is a great touch and the hard plastic and soft silicon allows for a great feel and great protection.
The case is easy to take off and looks great (the colors really make the phone unique because you do not see a high quality case that comes in different colors for any phone, many people were impressed when i pulled out my phone asking to feel it and hold it)
Three of my buddies all have Nexus Ones and they all ordered the Tough Case in different colors, two of my buddies were using Otterbox and they both agreed that the Case-Mate was not only more ergonomic it just looked and felt better and did not add the extra bulk the Otter did. Even tho I have never used an Otter extensively I do agree with their impressions just from holding their phones and holding mine and comparing them.
i 7use the tough case too and i gotta say, its great
I'm going to agree that it is an awesome case and I'm glad I decided to purchase it, especially over the otter box. I am going to disagree with the supplied screen protector. It was crap. I love the clarivue ultra clear protector, Its reusable, washable, no adhesive (static based) and You can't even tell I have it on. Ultra smooth, ultra clear, no glue.... awesome.

I have one ordered and it should be here next week. I need a holster for mine. Do you all know of one that will fit this case? Will the Seidio holster work for it? Thanks.
I have the black/black case mate tough case. The only and i mean only problem i sometimes have is that when I put the phone back into the hard shell, sometimes its hard to get the volume down button to work. That can be fixed by doing a little adjusting. I love this case and I wouldn't own anything else...
you guys got me interested in this case. how bulky does it make the nexus looks? the black/red looks pretty hot.....
I want it, but its cheap shipping option says it will take 3-4 weeks to Canada
even the $20 shipping says 8-14 days and with fedex... I pay brokerage..... why can't they do usps expedited?

It does add a little bulk, i'm not going to lie to you. However, in return your getting a sexy case plus a ****load of protection. You just simply can't go wrong with buying one of these cases. You definitely get what you pay for.

i use the nite ize holster with the tough case. http://www.niteize.com/collections/rugged-phone-cases/products/clip-case-cargo-medium
I bought black/blue on Friday. Tracking says it will be here today. I was going to write a review, but you beat me to it!
I report back to say if I like it or not.
To those who ask about bulk. Its adds a little bulk, but not as much as the otter box. Not even close if you ask me. And personally I feel the phone fits better in my hand with the case on. It doesn't feel like it will slip out.
Oh and the tough case gets double props for being able to buy the colored rubber inner sleeves separately without buying a whole new outer hard case with it.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
i honestly like the otterbox a lot better. its probably type of protection but i like that the ports are covered. u never know when something might get in there
My only gripe with the Case-Mate tough case and this is extremely minor is that because the hard case does not entirely cover the soft case, any lint that you might have in your pocket is attracted to the soft case.
Whenever I put my case in my pocket, it always attracts a little dust. Not enough to warrant getting a new case, but something that you should be aware of.
I used to use the Seidio Innocase II Surface, but it would keep cutting into my invisibleshield which ended up getting scratched off on the sides.
I definitely do love the case-mate though.

I took a look at the cases after your linked that and im very impressed!
being an elevator mechanic i snag my phone case on just about everything and have spent far too much money on holster. Does the medium size work well for you? i find that since the nexus one is a little longer then most bbs some cases the flap will not fold over at the top.
That case would suck for a nexus

I want my device to stand up like the Thunder Storm. I want my device to be protected from falls too. And I want the screen to be protected too. Plus it has tio be light.

zagg
I really like my zagg invisishield.
I ended up going with case mate tough case, and zagg invisible shield, i personally love both.
I love the feel of the zagg on the touch screen, the look, and how protected it is.
And case mate is by far one of the best cases I've used.
The combo is just nice.
trying to be funny ha?
I love my CaseMate Tough case. Dropped my vibrant 3g so many times and it did it's job everytime
trident cases
I would like to say that i have tried several cases and rubber bumpers and such but none can compare to the trident case i am now using. It is everything u are looking for in the op! Including a built in screen protector! I got mine from a kiosk at my local mall and the guy there was droping his phone from 8ft off the ground over and over just to show the level of protection these cases offer. I wouldnt go that far and im certainly NOT going to drop my phone on purpose but u get the point. Two of my friends have now gotten trident cases from their website after seeing mine. Google trident cases and check them out! Im pretty sure it will b exactly what u are looking for!
Heh, just posted this in another thread, perhaps it helps...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14053579&postcount=21
Pros: inexpensive, thin/snug plastic really keeps the phone thin even with the case on, kickstand folds into the case so it doesn't snag when you pocket it, relatively good looking, get relatively good protection when combined with a screen protector
Cons: doesn't envelop the phone completely so it doesn't protect as well as other cases, a bit on the flimsy side (although I bought a couple in case one breaks)

def ottercase it is excellent have dropped my phone many times, including down uncarpeted wooden stairs...
although it doesnt tell you anywhere in the directions that you need to pull the rubber headphone jack cover through the hard cover to get it to fit properly when you put it on for the first time...
Wow, thanks for the info on the trident cases. I really liked the OtterBox Defender Series a friend has on his Captivate and was a little bummed when I found out they do not make a Defender case for the Vibrant/SGS4G. I ended up picking up the Commuter case which is very nice, but I'm leaning towards the Cyclops Series from Trident now as its along the same lines as the Defender from OtterBox being just a little more rugged. The Aiges Series from Trident looks almost exactly the same as the Commuter from Otterbox.

Same here. I use a CaseMate case coupled with a Zagg screen shield, and it's been great.
Damn, you guys pay a lot for cases. I just go on Ebay and get them for about $2... SHIPPED.
I got an e-mail from Amazon. I believe it's usually like $35. I had a Commuter for my Desire and I pretty much loved it, so I'm assuming it'll be the same for this case. Anyone get one yet?

Got my commuter today, paid $25.00 inc shipping on Ebay. It looks like it will give good protection. I like that it has covers for all the ports to keep the lint out. I installed it over my Moshi anti glare screen protector and it looks and fits really nice. I would definitely recommend it. Hope that helps.

hit up the otterbox website, they have large pics there for you to see
I have a few times, going to jump on the defender. Might as well go overkill if I'll be using it for another 23 months. Was just wondering if anybody has pics of their phone in it. The otterbox website has heavily edited and spiffed up pics?
Took the plunge and picked up the Defender Otterbox. Even though it does look very nice I prefer the look of my wife's IPhone 4. The front isn't even a solid piece of plastic. On the IPhone they had a piece of solid plastic with the holes cut out and it looks fantastic. It does however feel very nice in my hands. The place that plastic and rubber connect together hold very well. I think I may complain in about two weeks about the screen being too loose. Otterbox are suckers about complaints, they will just send you a whole replacement unit no questions asked. Fraud? Maybe, but I like new stuff.

The ATT store did not have the commuter case in stock for some reason. I noticed that the commuter just has a plastic skin and then a hard case snaps on the back. I'm mostly afraid of the falls and it hitting the corners. My wife's Iphone has been through hell and back and its still in perfect condition with the defender case on it.

It's a silicone sleeve the phone fits in, covers everything but the screen, then the plastic shell snaps in place over the back, sides and top. I coupled this case with an Xtreme Guard screen protector for 100% protection.

That's where I got mine, love it! It's infinitely better than the Invisible Guard, I might add.
I had the Defender on my Inspire. It was definitely bulky and added a lot to the phone. I also didn't like the plastic they use for the screen protector on the Defender. I decided on the Commuter for the A2 and have been very happy with it thus far. Still don't like this stick on screen protector but the case doesn't add much bulk at all to the phone. To each is their own tho.

otterbox.com has the black defender for USD $69.90. i work in mobile and haven't had anything come in yet.
Got one here in Canada on the 23rd at a local telus store (day before the phone was out)
The otterbox defender is probably the best case for the note 4 right now because you don't have to deal with the screen protector halo problem and have the maximum protection you can get. If you don't mind the bulk, this is it. I ordered a commuter first but I also ordered the defender just now.

I have owned several Defenders over the years and have ripped out every screen protector.
It's probably best to leave the screen protector on on the Note 4 Otterbox defender this time because the screen protector manufacturers still have to find a way to cover the whole curved Note 4 screen.
Just got my otterbox commuter case. Here are some pics.
My Verizon store had both commuter and defender in stock but I walked out not buying anything. Keep in mind that I swap batteries often. The defender is just to bulky to take apart everyday. I also hate the built in plastic screen protector but I love the protection and feel. I also like the protection of the commuter but the case makes the phone extremely slippery. Felt like I was holding a wet banana in my hands. But the commuter is easy to take off.
The only otterbox left is the symmetry but I'm still keeping my options open. I would buy the official Samsung case for half off if it was in stock.
I ended up getting one off Otterbox.com.
Love it but the screen protector sucks!
I have popped out the screen protectors on all me Defender cases but waiting until there is a good tempered glass screen protector.
The case itself is awesome!

You may want to consider the Seidio Surface and in about month order the Convert add on kit which will give you a case w/o a screen protector but with a kickstand and with the Convert add on kit a case as rugged as the Defender. Plus you can switch back and forth between the Surface & the Convert. They also have an interesting car/bike/arm mounting system.
