OTTERBOX! Let us all let them know!

Ladies and gentlemen!
Otterbox for now is refusing to release a case for our phone.
Let us all let them know that there are a lot of us!
Here is their twitter account:
https://twitter.com/OtterBox

Who said Otterbox is refusing? I just got an email reply from them last night saying it's in design production.
We are currently working on a case for this device but do not have an ETA at this time. We recommend keeping an eye on our website or Facebook page where we will be sure to post more information as soon as it is available. You can also sign up for our email notification to be among the first to know when it becomes available.
Please feel free to reply to this email if you have any additional questions.

I hope PaisanNYC is right and all this is unnecessary! :cyclops:

I posted on their FB wall, and here is the response I just got:
So sorry about that they were probably confused with the Nexus 7. We don't have any plans for the 4 but we will definitely keep you posted if anything comes up.

Not looking good...
But Seidio is making cases for the N4, which are similar to the Otterbox line. I will try those out as soon as they are released.

@op I deleted your thread in general.
Please do not create duplicate threads about the same thing.
Carry on

Seido cases are much better

Judging by the staggering idiocy of following Apples idea of putting glass on the back of the phone, I'd be more concerned about if/when Tech21 are bringing out a D30 case for the N4

Problem is, even if they do decide to make a case they won't be able to get a unit for 9+ wks

Don't know why we have to convince a company to make money. Those geniuses should have had the business sense to know it would be a hit and have had cases out DAY ONE. They would have banked hard considering the complete lack of competition.

They have a Facebook.. And customer support emails.

I didn't like their cases when I tried them..
I much prefer case mates "tough case"

I understand, however I always put my reviews for the community and if the mods decide to merge or close the thread there is not a problem. When a thread so big as the original one happens..then it gets clogged and some valuable info like a hands on demonstration gets lots easly.

Modified belt pouch Note 8.0

Bought this leather pouch from eBay for Galaxy Tab 7.7 long ago, when I use to have 7.7. Yesterday when I received my Galaxy Note 8.0, I suddenly remembered about this old pouch. I am good in keeping stuff safe even if I am not using it. I found it after a little struggle, and straight took it to cobbler to modify it, I asked him to stich a little piece of additional Leather so my belt can go in it. It worked, a little weird, but innovative and easy to carry believe me.

Doesnt look great, but I really just need functionality. How does it feel resting on your belt? Do u think it feel different if it was horizontal?
I really wanna do this, but its borderline acceptable. I have many bankers, reporters etc ask me about my note (s), so I am really an ambassador, need to look sharp!

Believe me it feels pleasent and after a while peoples starts acc3pting it. Well in my case i know at least 4 of the guys who use to make fun in the begining about this, has finally started usin it.
Well using horizintally is not a great idea, i tried its doesnt look good, keep it vertical and also pls dont stich the belt clipping leather exact in the middle of the poch, atleast leave 2 quarter of the pouch below the belt. Check the image

I've been using a leg bag:
and a military thigh bag:
to to carry the Note 8 inside a personalized hidden book compartment:
covered with a Starbucks planner hardened case:
I use my Note 2 as my main communications device and take out my Note 8 when I need a bigger screen to sketch or read with.
I talk about this more in the Hidden Note 8 discussion on the accessories section.

The idea to cut out the pages of a notebook is brilliant. That is seriously my single favorite case I have seen thus far. Do you use any velcro or anything like that to keep the Note from sliding out, or to keep the cover in place or any other unforeseen travesty that I cannot think of currently?

The planner cover has elastic strings along its interior vertical spine. You slide the back cover of the "notebook" to be attached to the planner cover.
Just in luck that the planner cover is exact and I managed to find a notebook that was only 5mm taller than the Note 8, with a width of 10mm wider. I'm waiting on this heavy casing to integrate to a new hiding cover design in working on:
Here's a review of it:
http://galaxynote8accessories.com/poetic-revolution-for-galaxy-note-8/
Still waiting for it in local market.
I found the perfect cover and plan to bond paper into a book for it.
I have seen a lot of nice folio covers for the Note 8, but I use what I made as this is more secure as it's inconspicuous.

Not sure about this. Looks heavy and uncomfortable. Is it secure and comfortable if you need to run?

TWO Awesome Cases!

These cases are from CitieMobile!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxmZz-UHia0
I think these are both great cases! They have a good quality feeling and they look great on the phone. The cases will no doubt protect your phone from getting damaged. These cases also look fantastic! I give the first one an 8/10 and the second one a 10/10. I really recommend you to check them out on their website. The links are in the DESCRIPTION of the YouTube video. So click the link above this paragraph then check out the description! I hope you enjoyed! Let me know what you think in the comments section on youtube! Also like and subscribe for more videos!

Not youtube videos again.. Please post a text review and pics instead.

Your alright with posting video review.

I think it gives it a more modern/industrial look which is pretty cool! I like the chrome accent on the OBLIQ case though. Both great cases in their own way to be honest.

dbrand inc Skins

Anyone know what happened to the dbrand skins thread we had going here? It vanished over the weekend.

A mod closed it down for commercial selling

That's what I thought, but I wanted to make that statement in this forum so others could see that it was okay to post on their new skins. I love the company and will miss FemBots contributions, but I see why, totally.
I got my mahogany skins this weekend and am very happy with the looks of them. I'd recommend them for sure.

That thread was live for so long, and they only now decided to close it? lol

Yeah, I don't get the mods sometimes It's not like the bots were spamming every single thread. They had one of their own and that too started not by them but one of the guys here. I don't see what's wrong in a accessory company representative being active in the accessories section. It's like closing the N4 forums if someone from LG were active here.

That's what sux about xda... Instead of moderating the thread... Which had great info and great community, they just deleted it... Thread wasn't started by dbrand , they were supporting their product. With helpful info and customer relations... Dbrand just showed up and actually participated... Was no different than the 15 other threads under accessories that showcase the accessories

I myself enjoyed the feedback from the company as most times, we buy stuff from some company and never ever interact with them. This company gave us a face/image to interact with and was by far the coolest I've ever seen. They also gave us sneakpeaks at stuff coming up which gave, in my opinion, an exclusivity to XDA. Alas, we move on.

Why and I was about to show people my new skin when I got it.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 4

Really? They closed it just because Dbrand had an account and posted replys to people in the thread? Sigh. XDA, you're going downhill fast.
Anyway, to the point, I love Dbrand skins. They're a great value, look great, and last a super long time.

Yup.. They do crap like that to devs too.. Makes you wonder if one of the "moderators" works for the competition

Damn it, freaking mods. I always liked to read and see ppls replies along with dbrands comments right before I went to bed. Freaking sucks =\

Yep I started that thread. I don't even know how long ago but it had to be at least 6 months ago and I received an infraction for it just the other day when it got closed. Not sure why when my post was no different than anyone else trying to share an accessory.

Sometimes I wonder about moderators decisions.
Just ordered one and liked to see pics and I liked that they responded to some of the comments come on mods why, I know its a rule but there skins are AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! From what I heard.

I see no reason we still can't brag about our purchases. We're not working for dbrand, thus not selling them. We're just sharing what we have on our phones. It's no different than posting a screenpic of you phone, or pics taken with your N4. So, I say, let the pic posting begin.:good:
I feel bad for the dude, sorry, forgot your name, that got the infraction for starting the post. Hope that won't be me

I'll be the first. Love these so much!

There seems to be no consistency with what the mods will and won't delete, just seems like an off day. And even so, deleting the whole thread is like cutting your hair with a lawnmower. Totally unnecessary. I know nothing I say will change it or bring the thread back, but I think it's reasonable to voice an opinion.
That thread bought value to users as well as dBrand, I don't understand how negative an impact the mods saw from it, but it must have been significantly more than I did.
