Title says it all. When will the Otterbox be out? Also, if it's not for a while, what is the best case with a balance of protection while still keeping the profile slim?
Sent from my Droid Charge running Humble 1.4
They have the Commuter series out and there is absolutely no ETA for the Defender. I got the phone about a week after launch and have been waiting also.
There's no single Otterbox case, as they make a whole line. The Commuter, which is their somewhat-slim case, is already out and has been for some time -- I have it on my phone right now.
The Defender, which protects your phone like a tank, is also built like one and makes no attempt at being slim. It's absolutely enormous. That one isn't out yet, but unless you work on a construction site it's completely overkill.
At the moment, because companies like Seidio haven't gotten their cases out yet, the Commuter is probably the best option if you want a sorta-slim but still well-protecting case. The second layer is made of a less-than-premium-feeling hard plastic, but the inner silicon layer is nice and overall the case protects the phone quite well without adding too too much size and weight.
Whoops, I meant the Defender...I knew the Commuter was out.

Looks like the Kraken II by Trident is available in black now

I think I'll wait for the red version
I know I look like an old man when I do, but I like having my phone on a belt clip. None of the (nice) cases I've been able to find have one. I'm dying to get an otterbox defender. Right now I have a Bodyglove with an Invisible shield on the screen. However, dust and whatnot in my pocket gets under the Bodyglove and has already scuffed my phone!
I had a Defender on my BB Bold and I loved it. Size is not a factor for me. Otter needs to hurry and launch the Defender.
The Defender Series Case is now available for purchase HERE.
Yup just got the email today. Its available. Also I emailed trident and the alternative colors of the kraken II case should be available later this week. Black is already available

Some of us don't have much choice. I work receiving and delivery at a retail home improvement store. Moving some of the heavy fridges in and out of customer's homes sometimes requires leaning it against myself for support. That could put enough pressure on my screen to crack it.
Yep, need me a really rugged case. Plus, I picked up the Defender for less than the price of the Commuter... all good.

If you don't mind me asking, how did you manage that? And can a fellow Charge owner get in on that. I am getting my commuter case in the next couple of days but the Defender looks promising.

I dunno. I just like the peace of mind that I can throw my phone and it will be perfectly fine. Plus most of my friends have Defenders for their iPhones (I feel dirty typing that) so huge phones are common enough that it doesn't look out of place.

I pre-ordered it on ebay. $31 shipped. The seller doesn't have any more in stock and looks like he raised the price to $35. Still not bad. HERE's a similar auction for one.

Your Phone Protected by a Tank
No ETA yet, but when OtterBox posts on their site, that usually means: within a month.
I prefer the Commuter Case Series personally, but this is a positive start
I hate cases like this one that make the front edge go right up to the screen. It can make it difficult to use the outer edges of the touchscreen. At least with my fat fingers.
I do realize these otterbox cases are very rugged, though.

Big fan of OtterBox. My HD2 holster broke at the belt clip, and they have a new holster/clip on the way to me now.
Too bad I upgraded to an Infuse.
Since there's currently no Infuse case, I have a Ballistic HC on the way.
Ballistic case
I bounght the ballistic case from ATT. my account gets 40% off, so it was normal price them LOL
I loved the OtterBox cases on my iPhones. Yeah they do add bulk but working around a warehouse it's good to have. Was gonna get the Ballistic case but I have read that the buttons don't line up well, and I've already had good experiences with the OtterBox, so I believe I shall wait it out.
I'm on my second Ballistic HC case. Per Ballistic I swapped it out at AT&T store where purchased. The second unit lined up better, but when I push power button to turn off screen it causes volume buttons to compress. Hanging onto it until Otterbox available.

If it's like the iPhone cases it will be. But you gotta keep in mind, you are putting a case like that on a phone that has a 4.5" screen. It's gonna have some bulk to it. My iPhone 4 I had before felt sooooooo tiny when I would take the case off, lol.
Several coworkers have Inspires/Evos in Defenders and despite having only 0.2" smaller screens their devices and holsters seem considerably smaller. They raz me often about tv on my hip since we have to have shirts tucked.

Having the same issues with the Ballistic case I bought with my new InFuse. I like the case as it allows me to wear the phone but the inner case sucks and does not allow good use of the power/volume buttons. I have lost volume and phone calls because of the stupid case. I am gonna wait until someone else comes out with a better case that I can wear on my hip. I will say that the case seems very rugged and you can easily drop the phone without worrying that it will get trashed.

I also have 2 Nillkin cases, which are very thin (thinner than any tpu I've put on), but this one is definitely even thinner.
There are also "skins" you can put on the phone, but if you ever want to use the phone in a dock, then the skin will cause a problem...so I prefer a thin case that's quick and easy to remove.
Here is the ebay link where I bought mine from. The auction is over, but I'm sure if you click around on that page, you'll find another auction with the same case: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320735735257&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

how long did yours take to arrive?
Anything from hong kong usually takes about 2-3 weeks to arrive
make certain that you notice there are areas of the phone that go unprotected with this case...it's light, quick to pop on and off, looks good, thin in your pocket. But if you drop it on the street, you're might have a problem.
what else do people suggest? if i wanted to go the full corner cover.
There is a pretty good tpu case at Walmart for like 15 bucks. Not thin compared to the nilkin, but covers the corners
EDIT: and is also one of the thinnest tpu cases i've seen

this is the case I have. Its cheap and its very thin. I have no problems with it. The only thing slightly off with this case is that it is difficult to hit the up/down volume button and the power button but its not too bad.
Ive been through 3 cases.
Thinnest probably is BodyGlove Grasp. I'm using that now.

Also, if your e looking for good protection, but fairly thin, easy to pull out of pocket, I recommend seidio surface case. It fully covers the case, but is thin and feels good in the hand. Someone here said the case scratched his phone, but I can't even see how thata possible because it is felt lined. I've had it over 2months now, and not a scratch. I got the optional holster with it, and I use it for most of my other cases. I have 8 for this p phone.

My friend and I using that case right now, we ordered 2 different date (different sellers) and I got one with full cover and he got the one look like one on the pic. Btw, good case for the price, fit very good, exept the corner on his case.
I've got the TPU case from Amazon (can't post links, not enough posts yet) -- it really isn't thin at all... The corner is not exposed on the one I have. I mean, it was only $2.80 + shipping.. it fits perfectly, but it is just too thick for my taste, so I never use it. Without the case, the phone is nice and thin, with the TPU case, it is just too thick. The whole point in getting this phone it that it was less than 11 mm thick. With the case, it is more like 13 mm... meh..
Fits like a glove as it is meant for the ATT/Rogers version. All holes line up. The rubber is tougher and less shiny than the normal rubber otterbox uses (which i thought thank god) The only thing i dont like/not used to yet is how the phone mounts into the belt clip. You have to slowly "wedge it out" Here are some pictures. Any questions? The temperature after playing a game for 25 min is 43c (without case it was around 39c)

Whats your opinion on the power button? Is difficult to press?
Very easy. I notice i dont have to push as hard as my ebay rubber case i had before. Volume buttons are also easily pushed. The screen protector takes a bit away from the clarity. Still debating on popping it off or not.

I recommend just popping it out, especially if you already use a screen protector. It comes out rather easy and the adhesive strip can be pulled out in practically one piece. The only thing I would suggest is to use something like a small piece of duct tape to remove the left over residual adhesive from inside the frame.
Does anyone have the purple and teal otterbox? I really want one!

They have not been released anywhere yet. ATT nor Otterbox carry them yet. I was told within the next few weeks.
It depends on your area, because most ATT store here in Hawaii had both Commuter and Defender Cases, I originally went with the commuter case but felt it added too much thickness and took away the design of the phone, so bought Htcs slim case. The have improved a lot in terms of rubber material and fit, especially coming from the evo 3d case.

Since then I havent used a case just keep the phone in my pocket. What experiences have you had with other cases that may be great for the S4.

This is outside your question but based on your choices you might want to consider giving the Casemate toughcase a look see.
rock～
I had an OtterBox Commuter for my last phone, which was the thin version. With these phones being as big as they are and compensating with very thin profiles, any rugged case is going to turn your phone into a massive brick.
To top it off, I've never even dropped my phone, but the size that the case adds to it makes it slip out of my hands all the time!

Otterbox ordered through Verizon is good.
I got this one http://www.amazon.com/Diztronic-Mat...e=UTF8&qid=1378332217&sr=1-1&keywords=xt1080m and love it flexible but still stiff not like jelly and if fits like a glove but very easy to pop off if you want. It doesn't even look or feel like a case is on to be honest. I used to always take by bionic case off at home because it was to bulky not this one it's just perfect and at 10 bucks it's a steal.

I also ordered the Otterbox through Verizon. Got it a couple days ago. Surprisingly it did not add much bulk to the phone. Only complaint, I'd like the back to be less smooth and a little more textured. Other than that its a great case.

Otterbox would be for if you want more protection on the phone.
If you want to go minimal, get the Diztronic TPU case like bigv5150 mentioned.
The Otterbox Defender will give you an integrated screen protector. I'm just using the overpriced ones from Verizon, which I'm not a huge fan of, but I did also order some cheapy "Supershields" screen protectors from Amazon. I haven't used one yet, but I am not expecting much from $2 protectors. They come in a 6-pack, however, so even if they are crap, at least I can switch it out whenever one of them gets scratched up.

I really liked the Diztronic case for my Bionic, but I think the new bumper is the way to go with the Maxx. It apparently isn't available for the Ultra or Mini, at least for now.
Shown in red below to make it more visible, but mine is dark gray. I like the way the carbon/Kevlar back shows through.

Did yours come with a screen protector in it? I just got mine in the mail from the verizon site and mine did not come with one even thought it mentioned that it did. Others seem to be reporting that theirs was missing as well.

My commuter did not include one. Cheap.... Sigh...

The new defenders are a lot better than what my galaxy nexus had. The reinforcement on the belt clip is different, less fragile in appearance. Same for the snaps around the case. Easy to remove too. And the rubber doesn't pull off either without opening a port! Needs colors though.
A google search revealed Trident cases specifically for maxx. Not listed on company website but available for purchase from online retailer.
