I have no problem waiting for an otterbox (hopefully they'll produce one), but I need something in the meantime. Anyone know of any similar cases?

I picked up the Ionic case from Amazon - some people think its ugly... I think it looks alright... doesnt have the screen protector like otterbox, but seems to have the dual silicon hard shell design. Looks pretty rugged.

Otterbox is not the case you're looking for.

it looks just like the Otterbox Reflex series case, but I've got to say the Otterbox Reflex has better design and more color options/combinations. Too bad Otterbox only makes Reflex for iphones :/

Does anyone have any experience with this series Otterbox case? I don't really care for the size of the case on the iPhone, but i've only seen their defender series up close. This commuter series for our phones look nice, but until I can get some feedback I might wait on making the purchase.
Anyone?

I don't have any experience with Otterbox cases, but I can tell you that more than a few people around here were "patiently" awaiting their arrival for our phone.
I've been waiting for a solid case as well, but something that doesn't add too much bulk and weight to the phone like the Otterbox Defender does to the iPhone.
I saw that it was available yesterday and almost ordered it.
I had one on my incredible and really like how tough it was, however it does make the phone seem much larger, after my wife wanted the inc she wanted a pink or purple case so I sold the otterbox and gave her a Seido active purple case, wich does not seem as protective as the otterbox, but is also thinner.
I have a cheapy <$3 amazon rubber case on it, and I am very tired of it being hard to get in and out of my pocket and the case being so stretchy....I kind of like those "Breeze" mesh snap on cases on ebay for $13 because of how slim they are, I am torn on one of these or the otterbox....my only worry with the otterbox is how much bigger it will make the phone.

Zagg...case free...not one complaint...there are others like zagg that do the same job but zagg is very reliable and you can get a new case whenever you want for the shipping cost of like $4...

I had a Otterbox case for my Droid 1, and it was nice. Added a lot of bulk to the phone, but I was confident it was safe. Waiting to see what the Fascinate case will be like.
My buddie has the Otterbox case on his iphone 4. Its well made but very bulky. Too bulky imo. Personally I went with the kickstand case from verizon. There is already a discussion about on here so I wont go into the details. Slap on a screen protector of your choice and done.
Heres a link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=812410&highlight=verizon+kickstand+case
Who Care's ? We want and demand t6he "Defender"
Just when you think somebodies got it right their wrong. I believe that "Otterbox" is the best, but come on people we all want the best protection and to have this we need the "Defender Series" anything less is selling yourself short.

Just got the case in the mail. I think it's great. It does make the phone a little bulky, but no too much IMHO. The main problem I have with it is that the hole for the speaker does not line up and actually covers up half of it. Not really worth returning it for, but it irks me slightly.
@CouchSpud, Any way you can post pictures? I've been looking at this case, but it looks like the pictures on Otterbox website are of a silicone only case similar to the Impact series for the Captivate. Then when I click the link to PDF specs, the spec sheet shows a Commuter case for the Captivate instead. Curious what they sent you?
If I understand the difference correctly, the Commuter case should be a polycarbonate cover over a silicone sleeve, while the Defender case is silicone over polycarbonate. Or does the defender case have silicone on both sides of the polycarbonate (3 pieces)? Not sure why the Defender would be better...

No problem. It's only a two piece case and it has a silicone interior and a polycarbonate exterior.
The first picture shows the silicone interior to the left and the hard exterior to it's right. The second picture shows how thick the case is compared to the phone by itself. The last picture shows how far off the hole for the speaker is.
o man thats a deal breaker for me... I really loved my otterbox on my Droid 1 it was amazing in terms of protection and I was going to order this too before I saw that pic of it covering half the speaker. Thats ridiculous... how could the mis-align the phone with the case.
I just received the case yesterday and It does add bulk to the case but feels very solid and will keep the fascinate very safe... i thought the covering of the speaker would be a problem but I don't notice and change in sound. Could be a little cheaper ~$40 with shipping.

Always look up coupon codes before you buy something online. There was a 10% off/free shipping coupon that drops it down to about $31.
Oh man, that sucks that they covered the speaker up.. I just ordered one of these which should be arriving any day now
I can't believe they didn't check this before running them.
On a side note, do you guys prefer Zagg invisible shield or wrapsol http://www.wrapsol.com/en_US/Home+Page/Products/iphone+_+mobile/samsung/Fascinate.aspx
I ordered a Zagg, but after watching a few youtube videos it seems people say the wrapsol has a smoother touch and less of the orange peel effect?? What do you guys think?

I've used and had experience with the screen protectors, and they are top notch. I have not, however, used the cases. Anybody have any experience with these?
http://www.sgpstore.com/cell-phone/lg/g2/sgp-lg-su660-optimus-2x-leather-case-illuzion-series.html
If I go based on what I know of the screen protectors they are high quality and fit very well. But they are pricey, which is why I'm asking if anyone has used them before.
I have not used their leather cases, but I am currently using the silicone case and it is of pretty good quality (http://www.sgpstore.co.kr/shop/deta...co.kr/shop/big_section.php?cno1=1844&cafe_id=). Nice fit. Surface of the silicone case is coated with something that makes it dust-resistant. I am sure their leather cases will be good as well.

too bad the screen protector is for su660, which has a hardware button on the screen. but the case is really nice.
Ok so I got the case in today. It didn't come with a screen protector. I checked the website and it no longer says that it comes with one, either.
The case itself has an awesome feel. Not sticky like normal silicon cases at all. It's thin and adds very little bulk to the phone. I do wish, though, that they made a version specifically for the G2X that doesn't have the cutout for the DTV antenna.
The cutouts are all where they need to be and all cables fit like they are supposed to.

I use something similar from Incipio, but I specifically want a bumper case
I've scoured the threads here, and the internet at large and haven't come across a leather backed open face case for the 6p. I am aware of the custom workaround at the moment of using a dbrand or slickwraps leather on a slim spigen or dztronic case but am wondering if there are any, or any eta's on an open faced, leather backed case. Distressed leather preferably.
Pierre Cardin makes them for the note 5 but not for the 6p which i found disappointing. I thought it might be because of the unique camera array on the back, but the folio cases manage to do it, so that can't be the issue.
Look forward to you your replies
cheers,
Pierre Cardin for note 5 example
have you looked into tetded?
Never mind. Just read the post again.

Yeah, teded has some decent folio cases but the flip, is just too much to deal with if you take pictures regularly. I tried it with my mate 7 and nexus 6 and it was not a good experience for me.

Or you could try a skin on a case. Something like this. Not real leather, I know, but some of them do look decent. I used the Spigen Rugged armor and d-brand. I've heard of others using Diztronic and the Spigen thin fit.

Slickwraps actually makes leather skins for the 6P; it's called their "Natural" series and they use Horween leather (same material as found on the Moto X and LG G4). It doesn't offer visor coverage like the vinyl skins do, but if you're looking for real leather this is probably your best bet.
I'd also suggest petitioning @LAURCORE (Toastmade) to research designing leather skins, too, as they had done for the Nexus 6.

Is the case very soft to the touch? I got a Tetded case, and the leather is stretched so tight that it almost feels plasticky. This case looks amazing though. And I only see an option for black. How did you get brown?
Hey all! I am almost ready to buy the Mate 9 and I was would like to know if anyone has it in black color along with the UAG case.
Design-wise, the case itself seems to be a little over the top for my taste but since it's semi-transparent I was wondering if the black color of the phone tones it down a bit.
Any feedback is welcome (maybe along with some photos if anyone actually has the combination? )!

I have read mixed reviews about the Spigen case, some say it's great, others that it's flimsy. What's really weird though is the fact that there is no case for the Mate 9 on the official Spigen site! I think I will go with the UAG case, it's a big and quite expensive phone to risk dropping it...

It is strange. I never saw it on their site either. I got mine on Amazon.... Unless it's a fake lol. Heres a pic of the Spigen. I actually like it a lot. I don't find it that flimsy though but I guess everyone has different preference. The Spigen definitely gives it the Blackout look

On the UAG, it's much higher which makes it much more protected than the Spigen. The Spigen also has a lip but not as high. Still good though. I do notice the Spigen has a lot more room for the screen protector edges than the UAG one which gets a lot closer.

You mentioned the screen protector and I was going to ask you about your personal preference. From what I read in other threads, there are 3 main products that people use and are generally satisfied:
1) Brotect Airglass
2) Supershieldz Tempered Glass
3) Nillkin Tempered Glass
Any other suggestion?

Well, since I am probably going with the UAG which has more protection, I will first check the Brotect Airglass which is thinner (and hopefully less likely to peel along the UAG case?). If I decide to go with Spigen or Ringke (I like the Ink Black), I will problably check the Tempered Glass options.
