Looks like Seidio and Otterbox will both be releasing protection for our Sensation 4G devices real soon. IMO, Seidio provides a better product than Otterbox. I've used both, and Seidio to me just seems more stylish for the protection (I'll be buying the Active combo).

Is there an eta on these? I also was the active combo.

Pretty sure that by the end of this month there will be something... well that's what I hope for.
I'll be going with SURFACE, not that bulky.
They usually have something ready for purchase within a couple of weeks after putting up the "coming soon" spot.
glad to see these companies finally take notice to this device. ill be picking up the otterbox. had one for my nexus and liked it a lot. normally i dont have a handset long enough for some of these companies to put out a quality case (besides the generic gel ones)
I considered otter, but need a holster for work.

I also prefer Seidio...
Been waiting for Seidio...hope to see something real soon
I had seidio on my nexus one and liked it alot since it was the case and the holder. Am curious about otterbox but don't want anything too bulky.
Will probably just stick with seidio since I used them before.

I got the Gelli case from Case Mate and love it. I was worried about it feeling cheap but it's not at all - it's very firm and streamlined and looks nice without adding bulk. It also covers the volume rocker and power buttons which is good cause the crooked power button was really annoying me; it makes it feel more solid.
I've used Seidio for a few years now. I like their products but build quality doesn't look as good as Otterbox. Otterbox makes bulkier cases that are more expensive. Seidio is a step up from ebay generic junk. The only reason I haven't bought anything from Otterbox is that I usually have to take my phones out of their cases to use car docks (HTC OEM docks) and that takes too long with Otterbox.
i hope they built a good case this time because the case they built for the mytouch 4g was horrible!
I love Seidio's InnoCases with their awesome spring-clip belt clip. Can't wait.

Weird the black Active cases aren't ready yet, but the other colored ones are.
Just ordered the Sapphire Blue Active Combo with the 15% discount. I really want the Trident Aegis but the holster seals the deal cuz I hate stuff (except money) in my pockets.
All cases are now live fellas! Dont forget the summer11 code for 15%. Black Active combo...here I come!
and no TPU in the case.
I ordered 2 of these cases yesterday (Dad & I) off of Amazon for $22 each. I'll make a review on them once they arrive. I'm pretty excited!

i just put mine on my phone... and i absolutely love it... doesnt make the phone as bulky as i thought it was going to be... definately not as bulky as my G2 i used to have... especially with the otterbox case i had on it.
There is already a thread on this case

I just ordered one myself. I can't wait until it arrives!
I returned my SGS2 Skyrocket today. I will not be maintaining this thread. If anyone wants to start a new one, here is the source.
VERY IN PROGRESS - This is merely an idea of what's to come. Suggestions and help welcome!
Hello all. I decided it would be good to have one thread in which all the popular Skyrocket accessories were consolidated, but I couldn't find one, so I decided to make one. If a links to an XDA thread is greyed out, I couldn't find a thread for that particular accessory.
It's worth noting that T-Mobile SGS2 cases will not work with your Skyrocket as the speaker is in a different location.

Is it Barely there in aluminum? The aluminum backing is garbage.
BTW Seidio has cases too!
Seido has 2 versions of their cases available, as well as a universal USB Stand.
I own the Surface and Active Combos and highly recommend them if you like a belt clippable case (The Active has a kickstand too if you are into that kind of thing)

Edit for Clarification: I don't own stock in Seido or work for them, but have had their cases on most of my phones and have had good experiences. If you like Silicone/Rubbery type cases the otter-box Impact was the first case I tried with the Skyrocket.

I like the ability to have a belt clip for each of their options, but SHEESH. Not cheap. If you buy separately, the holster alone is $30. A but overpriced if you ask me...but they seem well done...

Wow I really like those rearth cases. Never seen those before, kinda like the Seidio cases but the slim looks a lot slimmer than any other cases out there. Really wonder if either of the cases will fit in the seidio holsters. If anyone out there has an rearth case and knows someone with a seidio holster can you check if it fits?? Thanks in advance!!!
Amazon has OEM (NFC) 1850mAh batteries from multiple sellers from $23-30. Just ordered one. I can post an update when I get it how/if they actually work if anyone's interested. Serial numbers are the exact same, but it wouldn't hurt to verify.

Absolutely let us know how they work (apparently some non-OEM batteries won't charge in the phone, etc). If they work, thats not a terrible price.

I'll check. Conveniently got an Amazon giftcard from my brother today, so I had to buy it, lol. It says it's for the Hercules, but the serials are the same (EB-L1D7IBA), so I don't see why there would be an issue. Time will tell!
Here are the links for a few of the listings. The one I got was the last one the seller had, so those aren't available anymore, but there still are a few out there with plenty:

I'm looking for something like this :
http://www.amazon.com/Aduro-Holster...67243950&sr=8-10&keywords=galaxy+s4+kickstand
The design of the case is perfect, not very thick, can kickstand portraid/landscape, and even use it as a hook for a firmer grip. But to me it is a very cheap looking / feeling case I want something more premium with the same functionality ?

A little on the pricey side, but they make great cases.
I bought the Seidio Active combo w/ kickstand this morning. I had an Active on my Nexus S for 2 years, very durable case...

The Seidio Surface case with the kickstand arrived today. I was a little worried about how much the kickstand would protrude, but it's only about 2 mm, so I'm glad I got it. I've also used Seidio cases for many years. My last one (S2) is still as good as new and I've had it since the phone was released for Sprint. Aside from the durability, I use multiple batteries and their cases are quick to take on and off.

Best buy's platinum series of cases are near identical to seidio, but about $20 cheaper. There is one with a belt holster and kickstand. I have it on my s4, and am quite pleased.

Can anyone recommend a decent belt clip holster? Ideally something reasonably light weight.
I've always loved the $20 verizon belt clip holsters for all of my earlier phones. Something similar would be great!

There is a thread on Seidio Holster - http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/accessories/seidio-case-holster-t3198486
Note 4 and Note 5 Seidio holsters seem to fit. I'm currently using LG G3 Seidio Surface Holster temporarily.
I just bought one for my wife at the Verizon store today. It fits just a little tight with the bumper. Don't mind the dirty garage floor.
Read the Seidio case / holster thread. The Seidio holster is the best holster on the market.

I got the Note 4 holster and it looks like that holds it better if you you don't use a case. I don't use any case or bumper. The Note 4 holds it good.

No clue but reminds me of cases that Verizon sells. My brother-in-law had a case like that for his Droid a few years back. It was impossible to remove the case, the kickstand felt cheap and flimsy and removing the phone from the case was difficult as well.
