I should have said i was in canada. I got the canadian flag
Guess ill just wait a few weeks

It's hard to tell from the pictures on at&t's website, but the black one is black/GREY which is a deal breaker for me, pretty unattractive when you see the case from the front.
I'll wait for black/black to be in stock on amazon.

ordered the black and grey yesterday, still says processing, hoping it ships soon

Well they finally listed it on their website as "coming soon" (Defender)

Just got my shipping notification from AT&T on my Defender case.

Shows like its back in stock on att's website. I also just received my tracking info. Let's see how this baby looks in person.

Thanks! Just put in my order now. BTW if anyone goes into the store they have a promo going on right now for accessories. $20 off $100, $40 off $150 and $60 off $200. I ordered two out of stock car docks and the otterbox, and with the discount made my otterbox $10

Given my job in public safety and my severe interest in mountain biking and snowboarding, the defender will manage my hobbies better than my HTC pouch.

I have the blue commuter case from AT&T's store. It's big, but worth it IMO. Wish they carried the black or at least gray version, but whatever. Zagg screen protector and Otterbox Commuter is a nice combo. I've already dropped it once though lol

My local AT&T store happened to have the Defender case in stock so I picked one up and they are really nice. I'm amazed at how much thinner Defender cases have gotten. I guess Otterbox decided to use their "new" silicone for the One X case and it has a lot of grip and doesn't seem to attract lint as much.
On the downside, while Otterbox makes great holsters, they decided to put two contact points on each side which makes it difficult for a quick release. Also, the built-in screen protector is still a bad idea.
Al in all, even with the high price and a couple little quirks it's a great case and will probably be my primary case.

EDIT:
For anyone who decides to remove the built-in screen protector, it seems like a simple operation. I went to cut it out but it just popped out and then I was able to remove the glue strip in one shot. See pic below:

Great pics! thx...
how much harder is it to get out of the holster now with the 2 contact points? Is it a real pain in the a$$?
could you take a picture of the other side so i know what the clip system looks like? would be awesome

The clips on the other side look exactly the same. I don't know why they didn't just use a "cradle" on one side with a single, centered clip on the other (like they usually have done before).

Just received my case. Very well put together minus the holster issues which I do not use but I do understand for those who do and pulling down the notification bar is tricky as the top is somewhat blocked by the gray front plastic part of the case. Other than that great case and happy I don't have to be paranoid about dropping my phone.

Wallet Style Cases?

Has anybody seen a good quality wallet for the S4 - there are a few cheapy ones and Zenus are bringing some out soon too.
http://izenus.com/smart-phones/galaxy-s4.html
I need a maximum number of pockets and a lanyard BUT without a magnetic clip!

Nobody even cares... I think I'll go kill myself now... :crying:

I kind of care.. lol. My wife wants one. So I'm kind of looking for one for her. Here's a couple I found on Amazon.

I think this case is pretty cool - but it has magnets! Am I right in thinking magnets mess with GPS and phone reception?

not a wallet case, but a flip case
http://www.rockphone.cn/en/Html/Product/508.html#next

ITSkins has one too.Plural from ITSkins

One time Spigen gave me some cases to review for the S3. Check out their big lineup for the S4. They might have some wallet style cases that would fit your needs.

what if the card scratches the screen since it is directly facing it? or some sand gets in between?

I don't like wallet case. The snap on case works for me!

Yea, check it out and let me know what you think
I have this case in black currently and its awesome, especially because it takes advantage of the magnet to automatically shut your screen off when closing the flap and opening it when opening flap instead of having to press power button all the time

S5 oem back cover battery

Hi guys,
For x reason my back cover battery was broken ( tiny little part at the top left) I ordered a new one from ebay. http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=331233943060
I just received today and the bad new is, it doesn't have the same soft touch as the OEM one. So I'm not really happy with it and it wasn't written in the description. I sent a PM to the seller already. Where could I find the OEM one?
Thanks

Best Completely Clear TPU

This thing is literally the best, tightest fitting, TPU case out there for this phone. I ordered two and it's perfect. Fits perfectly, perfect cutouts, buttons have nice feeback...and it's like $4.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/26207319727...49&var=560851613091&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

looks good but apparently seller is away... and with how ridiculously long it's taking me just to get a damn case for this phone that is just a simple TPU, i'm not gonna bother. I've already gotten 1 case that turned out to be too small, another that kept giving me the run around about ship times which I had to cancel, just ordered one last week they said would be here today but turns out it didn't even ship until today, and another i ordered Saturday that won't be here until the 20th! why the hell is it taking so long to get a damn basic case for this phone? I'm almost 3 weeks into having it and still no case.

I've go the plain black version of this case on the way. I'm not really a case-guy but this looked like it didn't add much to the width or thickness of the phone so I may be able to deal with it.

I finally found a case that's nice for this phone. you can get clear or smoked. I recommend it. I got smoked.

Nillkin super frosted shield case

I've got this case too, I really like it. I also have the official Xiaomi Mi 6X hard case which feels good, just not as grippy as the Nillkin.

I'm trying to find a slim hard case that doesn't get fingerprint smudges all over it. Kind of a pain to be always wiping them off...
I like the look of both of these cases, but do they show smudges easily?

Can I see more photos of this case?

Not as much. But it's enough

I had this case on LG G3, was really perfect. Then I bought it for my Mi A1, also perfect. So third time I decided to buy it for A2 and got very disappointed - its nearly impossible to click it off the phone, really strong clamping. Next thing that bothers me is lack of quality - I can see imperfections all around the case even poorly cutted edges -> this aboslutely wasnt present on my previous frosted cases. Last time Nilkin.

What case is that???
