Ya. And the Skyrocket also supports bluetooth keyboard and ps3 controller connection so its like a little game screen and play right at your fingers If anybody does get this please tell me how it works. Thanks.

I've been using my Samsung OEM battery charger as a stand.
Hmm...I wonder how much bulkier this is.

I just got mine and its exactly what i was looking for. With the bluetooth keyboard for christmas and kickstand its like an amazing little computer

I picked up the Otter Box Defender, which has a kickstand. After a 1 foot drop flat on the screen(which cracked) scared me into the Otterbox.

I haven't had any problems with that on my Seido "Active" or the Surface (which doesn't have the kickstand), but I did have a big problem with lint on the Otter Box "Impact" (got stuck with it on release day since no other cases were out).
Hope it helps
~David

this case is awesome had great fitment the buttons couture very nicely around the silicone it doesn't add much bulk to the phone which was a big one for me .although i would of like if they added a aluminum or stronger kickstand the one that comes with is plastic i fear that it can break but seems to hold up okay.

Anyone in Toronto here? Where can I buy it locally?

Ah thank you, I was looking for one of these!

I love the Seidio Active case! Got mine in amethyst today
*AT&T Samsung Skyrocket (white)
Stock ROM & Stock-ish Kernel

I bought the Active and the Surface. The Surface is a great, thin little case. However, I'm not sure if it will provide much protection if it's dropped. I also found the rubberized plastic to be more slick than holding the phone without a case. The Active provides a much better grip and is also very thin. But the rubber is way too sticky. I can barely get in into and out of my pants' pocket, and when I do it is covered in lint. The rubber part pulls away from the phone at the top and bottom whenever I try to pull out my phone. It seems like the plastic "exoskeleton" on this case needs two more claws: one at the top and another at the bottom of the phone to keep this from happening.
So far, my Pop case from the AT&T store has been the best case so far. If they only made it with a kickstand for our phones...

Seidio cases

just letting you guys know seidio is now shipping their innocase (black only though)
http://www.seidioonline.com/category-s/4590.htm
Sent from my Fascinate
That's awesome, thanks for letting us know, been waiting to see that. Now after seeing it, I'm sure of what I assumed, that the OEM/Verizon kickstand case is a much better case. It has a kickstand you can use in portrait and landscape, it provides good grip on the back of the phone, it fits very tightly and is durable plastic, and it barely goes over the front of the phone at all leaving the phone quite thin.
Innocases are what I used on my last 3 phones, and the soft touch/rubberized feel is nice (the kickstand case is rubberized but not as much), but, they are relatively brittle, they bulk up the phone a good deal by covering all sides and the front, and they don't have kickstands. I can't imagine not having a kickstand now after having one. But perhaps most important, is the cost? The kickstand cases are brand new on ebay for $12 shipped. innocases are going to run you $30 + shipping.
edit: Seidio's holsters are awesome though, best I've ever used. but I know a lot of people don't use a holster, and you can't with the kickstand case on anyways. I suggested a pouch to go with the kickstand case in my thread about it in this forum.
nice! thanks for the update! i've been waiting for a solid case that didn't cover up much of the front bezel. now only if sgp's website was working and i could get the ultra crystal screen protector...
does anyone have this? how is it? bulky or no?
I bought this case. It's really nice. However it makes my phone look exactly like an Iphone. You've probably seen this case on plenty of Iphones - it is essentially identical. The case its relatively thin, but certainly adds to the phone's size. It's probably about as thin as you're going to get for a case though (aside from using an invisible sheild type skin ). Quality is great. I love the case, the added size is fine because the case is still pretty sleek looking - And well worth the $30 investment to protect such an expensive phone. Lets not forget, samsung is notorious for bad build quality.

They are about the best cases out. Not too much bulk and the rubberized finish is a nice touch. Best Buy had them in black and white. They are labeled as the Seidio platinum series on retail shelves.

ok so i just got this case.. its pretty sweet! only one thing i dont like and i can't beleive no one else mentioned this, the power and volume rockers are kinda blocked off in a way that makes it a lil tough for your thumb to get too
I just got this case today in black..weird that Best Buy lists the white case at 29.99 but the black case at 34.99..weird, not exactly sure why the black costs more. Anyways, I will have some pretty detailed pictures tonight!
No pics, my camera is bummy..but I love the case. Fits perfectly and I don't mind it making the buttons more difficult to press. I have sausage fingers anyway so it feels better to me

Just to update everyone, I had a Platinum case (Innocase) from Best Buy. I returned it because the bottom part had become unreasonably loose. Waiting for Bestbuy.com to get the Otterbox back in stock. I'm currently using the "carbon fiber" looking case from Verizon.

What case do you use?

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.

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.

+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!

I really like the shell holster combo from verizon. It has a built in kick stand, which I stick my right middle finger through and it helps balance the phone and I can use 1 hand and touch every part of the phone I need to, lol...y'all should check that 1 out.

It's nice - very bulky though. My mom has it on her Charge.
I just got the Incipio double cover case and its very nice. Its not a snap on case so if it drops it will not come apart. Its a silicone inner shell and a hard soft touch shell on the outside.
The double cover is going back, there is no cutout for the hdmi port so you cant use it with the case on.
anyone considered an otterbox defender or commuter? their charge case isnt out yet but my buddy has one on his evo 4g and its extremely rugged and includes a holster
Yeah I'm waiting for otterbox to release their Charge cases. In the meantime I'm using one of the cheap gel cases from the Verizon store, but it slips off easily so not really a long-term solution.
I bought the incipio case and while there is no opening for hdmi, a dremel will fix that
The otterbox commuter is now available, just ordered mine from their site. Coupon code tb0411u for 10% off and free shipping.
TPU Case
I'm using the Samsung Droid Charge TPU case and I must say I'm impressed. It's a semi-hard/soft case and not flimsy like other rubber cases I've had.
My TPU case fits like a glove and easy to put on and take off.

Yeah I got it and like it. The commuter has two layers, one is gel and the outer one is a thin hard plastic.
It fits the Charge like a glove. There is a big open area for the HDMI port. The usb and headphone ports have a cover that you pop up to access.
I just got ghost armor put on my phone and can't be happier. Since all I am looking for is scratch protection and not to make the phone any larger - this is the perfect setup.
I got matte on the back and sides, andthe regularclear over the screen. This is so much better of a product than the zagg shields. Not only is the materialbetter, but it is cut to perfection so every little piece of the device is covered, even the buttons.
Also, the matte back and sides drastically improves the appearance of the phone. It looks like an aluminum unibody phone, rather than cheap shiny plastic.
Awesome. Best 40 dollars you can spend on this phone.
Oh, and if you go to one of their kiosks and get it rather than ordering it online they install it fir you, and they are very, very good at it.

I got the Otterbox commuter, it's great as all the otterboxes i've had are. It does add some bulk, but protects the phone very well with the 2 layer design. I'm not exactly gentle with my phone so I need the extra protection.
$26 shipped from an ebay dealer.
I'd like to see a commuter in person. I don't like the TPU much, it obscures the power and volume switches too much for my liking, and the charger dislodges really easily, but I bought it for a whopping 4 bucks on Amazon.
Might grab a cheapy silicone case in the meantime.

Otterbox for Atrix 2

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?

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.
Too me the defender was bulkier thats why I went with the commuter case, but overall they are both very good covers

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.

[Review] Exact Armor Case

Hey guys,
I just wanted to give a short review of a case I'm using, because I absolutely love it. It's the Exact Armor Case.
I bought it a week and a half ago, at the time it was only $3.95, at the time of me writing this it is $7.95 on Amazon. It's VERY similar to the Ionic Guardian Armor Case. There was some concern because I believe that on Amazon this case in the pictures doesn't show a cut out on the back for the speaker, but it does indeed have one.
It feels really good in the hand. I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about the dots on the back, but they ended up not being bad, and really make it so the phone doesn't slide out of your hand/off a table when you are holding it/sitting it down. I also have an i-Blason TPU case and I liked it but wanted something with a little bit more protection. I love the rubbery cover on the buttons on the Exact case, it makes it incredibly easy to push those buttons, which were more difficult to push on the i-Blason case in my opinion.
It feels really good and sturdy in the hand, and I love the way it feels. It doesn't add any more then the i-Blason case does when you're holding it in my opinion, except for on the corners, but you don't really notice those when holding it. All of the ports (mini USB and headphones) are accessible, however when I tried to plug a headphone jack from my car in it was a little too big and didn't fit in the hole cut in the case, but using a pair of headphones fits just fine.
I'm usually rough on phones, and so I wanted to get a sturdy case until hopefully an Otterbox comes out, which I will then buy and see if I like it more then this case. I HAVE dropped my phone twice over the past 72 hours or so using the case, and there was no damage to the phone. Once was getting out of my car and the phone fell onto gravel, and the second was just when I was pulling it out of my pocket I dropped it. (Yes, I'm clumsy, and I need to try harder to keep it safe.) There is no damage at all to the phone.
The front of the case does slide over the front, so you can sit the phone screen down and it doesn't touch whatever is underneath it. There is a small lip there, but so far it hasn't deterred me in anyway touching the screen/typing/swyping.
Please feel free to ask any questions, I'll be more then happy to answer. And before anyone asks, I just put on a Xtremeguard Screen Protector on literally 5 minutes before I took the pictures, so if the screen looks weird that's why, as it has to dry out and such.
If anyone asks, I can also talk about the i-Blason case a little.
I can't post links to the cases above because I don't have 10 posts yet :/ Just search on Amazon, you'll find them all, and after I post 10 times I'll come back and add the links in.

I have this case also. For such a bargain I'm astounded by its quality. :good:
Who knows when an otterbox will come out, I think I will get this one until then

Nobody knows for sure but like most of the stuff in production you can probably expect it will be released before the end of January.
I think chances are you will get this one and then decided (unless you some how destroy it) that you don't want to shell out for an Otterbox.

Thanks for posting the link! Gotta start posting more and stop lurking so much It's amazing quality, especially since I got it when it was only $4.

It's terrific quality, and super cheap, and who knows, even if Otterbox comes out with one, I like this one an awful lot!
I would really like to get this case but the shipping to Canada kills the deal. $13 is more than the case itself. Anyone know if someplace else sells this case? EBay has nothing.

Only there's no Otterbox case in production for the Nexus 4. Alas.
I got this case when it was $3.95 as well, great deal.
My TPU case was causing problems with my Skinomi screen protector but no problems with this case.
I currently have this case on... It sometimes lifts my xo skin screen protector so I have to push the screen protector down. For those who need even more protection there is a case on ebay called the Rugged Hybrid case, for 10-12 buck. The case is a beast but I'm waiting for someone to review on it before I purchase one.

Is the lift because of the slight inward flex around the edges that one gets when gripping the phone? or is it always in contact with the XO?

It's because of the inward flex around the edges when I grip it. It does seem like the case is always in contact with it, but doesn't pull up the protector unless I grip it tight or push on it.

Just received my case earlier today and I have to say it may be my favorite. I own the iBlason in black, Diztronic TPU in black as well as the Cruzerlite Androidified in white. The price vs. protection offered is astounding. I have to say it is very much comparable to my parents Ballistic Shell Gel Series case they both have on their Galaxy S III. The material isn't quite as "nice" as the Ballistic but for a $7 case, comparing it to a $30 from Ballistic or $15 on Amazon, it is certainly a no brainer.

Anyone want to comment on whether the case grips your pocket? That's the only thing holding me back from pulling the trigger on this over the diztronic you case.

Mine is fairly easy to pull out of my pocket. I don't wear super tight pants, but if I did it might be a problem. The rubbery part on the case is a lint magnet when you put it in your pocket but it isn't bad putting in or pulling out.
