hey guys
so i wanted you opinion on the ottorbox defender case and the case mate tough case... for the sumsang infuse 4g
ottorbox:
http://www.otterbox.com/Samsung-Inf...color=20&start=1&cgid=samsung-infuse-4g-cases
casemate:
http://www.case-mate.com/Samsung-Infuse-4G-Cases/Case-Mate-Samsung-Infuse-4G-Tough-Cases.asp
my main reason for asking is:
the thickness of the cases and how well it does in day to day life...( i can see the ottorbox is bit on the bulky side hence why im asking)
and
how is the screen protector on the case mate tough case?
i posted the sites of both the cases.
any help is appreciated
I'd go with the casemate over an otter, but check out my case.

Shared it in another thread. It's very protective and non-bulky.

my silicrylic will be coming in today, I still got the 'texting/driving can wait' protection just to be safe lol.
The incipio silicrylic is a very nice case.
Good choice of case.

Both are nice. I'd go with the Otterbox I suppose.
I love my Ballistic HC case. http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Infuse-Ballistic-Black-Holster/dp/B005BTBGEO
Personally I will always stand by otterbox. Great cases
I love my Otterbox...
I originally had one for my iPhone, and dropped it at work from, seriously no joke, 20 feet up... not a scratch on the phone itself.
Just a little gouge in the case, but the phone still worked flawlessly!

I use a Bodyglove clear case I got at my local T-Mobile store. It's actually a Vibrant case, but it's a perfect fit. It also has a kickstand, which I love (perfect for watching videos.)
Edit: This is the one I was talking about.

I have the body glove and love it... gives the phone a little more size and the rubber coating really provides grip, love the kick stand when I have to use the belt clip, but it's mostly in my pocket or on the desk.

Same case. Love it.
I'm using a power-skin case. It charges my battery up to four times. Until I charge the power-skin up. So if my phone dies, it will keep my phone alive for 4 extra hours until I can charge it.
Otterbox = Best case ever!
SGP Ultra Slider Case!
Otter Box fits it perfectly love it
+1 To all the OtterBox lovers. It gives you the best of both worlds. Soft rubber inner lining so it don't scratch it like the plastic ones do, and a hard candy shell... mmmm... candyy... sorry got distracted. But even with the 2 layers it doesn't really add that much to the thickness of the phone. Perfectiona! I'm an Idiot.
I use Trident "Cyclops" Case, It is a awesome case for protection.
I run it naked no case lol

Otterbox Commuter - got an Otterbox for my old Blackberry and it saved it multiple times, wouldn't get anything less for this phone (and the case is awesome).
trident case
+1 on the trident case. when i got mine the guy at the store was repeatedly dropping his phone frm 8ft off the ground just to show the protection level. I would never recomend pushing your cases capabilities like this but none the less i was sold after that! U guys should check out there website (google trident cases) the KRAKEN is a beast!

Just saw on the Seidio website that the Surface case is coming soon. Hope it's like the innocase II (now known as the Surface case) for the Nexus 1...seriously one of the best cases I've ever bought.
I got the Body Glove case also and it rocks. I ordered a tpu case from Korea on eBay and it did not fit well.

Me, too. I got the T-Mobile case and I love it. Fits perfectly and is textured for good grip. Doesn't pick up pocket lint like some soft cases. Quality is great, too.

how much is the the t-mobile case? tmobile cases are more expensive(relatively speaking).
I would like to find a clear silicone gel skin. There are a lot that have an argyle pattern on them but I'd hate to cover up such a nice looking phone.

Hello there, I have the casemate pop case and the rubber sides really make it hard to pull out of a pocket. Does anyone know or have any cases to recommend that slide easily out of pockets and are thinner? Preferably a case without rubber on it. Maybe the Seidio Surface case? Body glove? Tell me what you think! Thanks in advance!

Personally, I'm thinking about getting this case:
h ttp://www.myincipio.com/Samsung-Infuse-4G-Cases-Accessories/Incipio-Samsung-Infuse-4G-SILICRYLIC-Hard-Shell-Case-with-Silicone-Core.asp
Inner soft shell for impact protection, outer plastic shell isn't pocket sticky.
Hope that helps!
Also the tpu cases are a harder silicone I have it and its awesome. Very flexible but durable.

Case-Mate Barely There. It's perfect for pockets.
Only con is it has a little bit less to offer in the protection department, but it hardly adds any bulk at all to your phone. I have had friends surprised that there was a case on my phone.

Me too love it
infused infuse helping other infused infuses?
out of my TPU case and the platinum I like the tpu case better, though the cheap free one I got with my recent spare battery purchase is just a tad too thick around the charging port and keeps the charger from making contact. easy fix
I really need to find the link for that..spare stock size battery, tpu case, screen protector all for about $12
TPU case all the way!
I like my platinum case. See the thread about removing it before buying though.
Seidio Surface Case. It's not cheap though. 24 bucks @ Amazon, free 2nd day air if you a Prime member.

I got one for my Atrix and loved it so much I got it for my Infuse.
Another vote for the TPU case, it's thin enough to not get in the way, has enough grip to prevent slips, and the material is more durable than you would imagine for a flexible case.

Looking for suggestions for HOX case. I am welding in a shop a few nights a week and there is lots of dirt, dust, and fumes. So I need a case with flaps to cover the ports!
I have tried Trident which I loved, but it doesn't fit! They don't make an AT&T version! Currently have Otterbox Defender, which is good but very bulky. I liked how slim the Trident was.
Any help is appreciated! Thanks.

Check out the commuter, not as durable, but it covers the ports, and it's thinner than the defender
The commuter case by otterbox is a great option, tight fit that covers all ports, but not as bulky as other tough cases. If you want i can upload pics
Ah ok. Will give it a try. Thanks.

I really do like my Ballistics SG case. This case has a lot of positive reviews and there are comparos out there between it and the Commuter.
Like everyones been saying... Commuter case by Otterbox. Pretty sure they come with a lifetime warranty, so if it ever breaks, you can just get a new one for free.

Looks cool but no flaps to cover the ports. Looks like Commuter wins! Just ordered one. Thanks everyone.

Ah, got lazy and didn't read your port requirement.
Side note: loved commuter on my old 9700. Their customer service is top notch too.

I have the Otterbox Defender, pretty damn good case if you don't mind the size. Extremely durable from my experience with it so far too, I've dropped it a few times. A friend of mine with the same case threw his at a wall just for the hell of it, no damage to the case or the phone.
If your not seeking a Defender size case I fitted the Speck CandyShell Grip which felt pretty good. It felt more natural then the Commuter.
Any thin rugged cases that have the otter protection. .im sure its a far fetched chance, but that would be cool if a company could make a thin case that has the material to be durable as otterbox defender. ..
I like the cases that have front and back covers that keep the screen inset some for ground impact clearance.

Ya ....looks neat but nah ill pass on that one..
To me it looks like it would keep marks of the edges/bezel if slightly bumped ot dropped but I bet a waist height drop to concrete.... the impact would flow right thru it and crack or worse shatter a screen
I like the cases that over lap the top notification area and home key, and are raised above screen.... essentially like otter defenders do...
I Guess im more into the rugged cases .
I wanna be able to toss my cell on a coffee table or /car dash or drop it from 4 feet " if an accident like that happened as the unfortunate ones that by skinny cases do .....and not have to get super pissed or raise my blood pressure thinking for them two seconds what damage did I do

Yep that's what sold me on the UAG. Hope I don't end up testing it firsthand.
I think your asking for or expecting the impossible my friend....or hoping someone can defy the laws of physics.
There is a reason the otterboxes are so thick, dont you think they would make them thinner if they could?

You may want to look at the Cygnett WorkMate Evolution case, which is slightly slimmer than Otterbox cases.

Wasnt expexting anything thats why I said in op its probably a far fetched idea I knew this , but was worth a shot to ask, im not a noob to phones or cases I have a drawer full, It just pisses me off lol these company's cant think like some of us.. and build a case like we think they should... if anyone can otterbox can.
He'll id pay 100 if a case was thin as the s4 and had the otter protection. . Maybe aome space age carbon or kevlar material. ..
Think if the iPhone beetle shell case that's what kind of design im getting at... I despise open face cases what's the use on protecting a bezel or side when the screen counts for everything ..
