[Discussion] Otterbox Commuter

I just bought the OB commuter from ebay, bargained at $22.95(before delivery costs. It seemed strange, now that i think about it, since OB sells them at $34.95. I'm wondering of the case might be an imitation or a knock-off. Can anyone enlighten me as to whether OB's cases are ever imitated(yet)
Any other discussion on regards with OB commuter usage is welcome too =D.

Price seems fair.
Walmart has that case for $21.70 and you could pay through Paypal.
I ordered my Defender case from Walmart for $29 and it arrived in 5 days. 2 thumbs up for Walmart. lol.

I ordered mine from ebay bro. I'm from Malaysia too. Lol.

I have the defender and I find I get dust and dirt in through the speaker hole and it creeps down over the screen. So I don't use it anymore.. back to the neo case for me.

Commuter arrived!
The provided screen protector is bubbling from pressure from my keys. I'll need to order more screen protects. Will be posting images to the first post for other users to gaze at in case they'd want to know what it's like

Its actually both..I just received it in the mail yesterday and I am very pleased with it...soft finish and it comes with the front and back case that snaps on and a belt case for the phone to snap into screen facing it...my keyboard and screen had a little wobble before the case but now the extra little bit of the case has actualy helped a lot..my phone feels much more solid now! For 6 bucks this was a steal!! also the case does not say seidio on it but it is identical to my gf's seidio case for her epic

Thx
I got mine in today. I ordered it before the price jump. I stopped by the sprint store to see how it looked and then put the order in lol. I saved $34 plus tax. Thanks for the heads up. Thats what community is supposed to be about. Helping each other, and that includes my pocket.

Well worth the money (even at $10 IMO).
It came with a hard case for the phone (front and back) and a belt clip holster.
The case is soft-touch hard plastic and seem decent enough.
I can verify that the holster works for both the Official Seidio (3000 mah) extended back cover, as well as the Chinese eBay (3500 mah) extended back cover.
I'm pleased with my purchase (bought it for the holster).
Thanks yo the OP for sharing.

PT is Seidio's high end cases. Platinum Edition cases that you can find in Best Buy.

After looking up the item numbers, if you order the black one you get the case and holster. If you order the grey one it seems to be case only. They are both the same price though.

They sure are
I bought my first set at best buy, but my holster melted on new years day been close to a bonfire,surprisingly nothing happen to the phone
Anyway for just 5 dollars this was a good deal and I received it today
Thanks Disguy24 for posting this

Thanks for this

Bought 2 of them. It took 8 days to get to me but the case is just what I wanted. The holster should work with just about any case you buy off ebay if you looking for different colors. Worked with my two different style cases my wife and I had. She has the one that covers the samsung and sprint icons.

Still a great deal I've bought 2 now and both are great, fast USPS shipping for me as well.
Thanks again to the OP for pointing it out!

Very good cases. Bought the black one for myself a few months ago. It's my favorite case so far, and I have a bit of a case "problem," as I'm sure a lot of you do. It's also considerably lighter than you may think. The pictures seem to imply that it's far more bulky than it is.

Lol!
I never had a case problem until the S4.
Now it has become an addiction
Before the S4, I never even owned a single case.
But after the screen cracked on my S3 from a 12" drop onto concrete, and the crap I had to go through with Austrian, sending back a defective replacement and not having a 32gb model in blue available to send me, I said I'll be buying a case for my S4.
Even though I have Tmo insurance for loss, theft, breakage, etc, having a case may avoid needing any replacements, but with the $650 or so price tags of the S4, I carry insurance just in case.
The UAG is one of the most protective of cases in a very minimal form factory, although @&34.95, it is a little on the high side. The sale price is very good though.
I have the Scout, and just ordered the Maverick.

These are cheaper on amazon and a better deal if you are a prime member as well.

The Maverick/Ice case won't be available from Amazon directly until February.
It's only available from a third party on Amazon, which brings the price with shipping to $30.43
The other cases, even with free shipping (available with over $35 in orders, or with Prime) still don't beat the UAG prices with the $5 off, of $19.47, except for the Slate model which $18.16, but that's only if you can get free shipping.

Take a look at this link. You have 12 battery cover colors to pick from, and will make your S4 really unique, and it looks pretty cool. I purchased the Dark Blue and Green covers.
Only $4.39 each and ships from New Jersey, USA:

Do these fit well? I'm always really skeptical when buying replacement battery covers for the S4 because it seems like they need to be so precisely made.

The fitment is excellent.
The locking tabs of these battery covers all snap into place tightly with no wiggle, along the entire cover perimeter.
The only thing which may be an issue, depending on the case you use, is that these covers are just a hair thicker than the stock cover due to the coating of paint. And I mean just a hair thicker.
For instance, there are no fitment issues with the UGA, Otterbox Commuter, Otterbox Defender, Speck Candyshell or Cynett Workmate Evolution cases. There is an issue with the Tech 21 Impact Mesh Smoke case because the Tech 21 fits very tightly with the stock cover, and has no clearance for the hair increase in thickness of the painted covers.
The Anker battery with NFC is slightly thicker than the stock battery, but the covers I linked to snap and fit fine, as do the stock battery covers.

Xtreme guard cases and screen protectors, buy 2 get 90% off + FS

Yes I'm serious, 90% off. This isn't just for the S4, they have a few of devices. I just ordered 2 cases (an S3 and s4 case) for $4 with rushed shipping. If you don't mind the 5-9 day wait shipping is free. I've read some good and some bad about the cases and screen/body protectors but still $4 isn't bad for 2 cases shipped 2-5 days.
you MUST buy at least 2 objects, you can buy more and it will apply the discount to all of them.

they only have 1 S4 case and it has 1 star rating from 1 person, but here's the linky:
http://www.xtremeguard.com/product-p/samsung-galaxy-s4-case.htm
just their section for cases:
http://www.xtremeguard.com/Cell-Phone-Cases-s/180.htm

I am confuse.
The S4 case comes with a free screen protector install kit but does not come with a screen protector.
They have more items for the unreleased S5 than they do for the S4.
I am tempted to buy 2 screen protectors for 1 dollar shipped. Hmm

yea I noticed that too. I figured a case at like $1.49 wasn't a bad deal. might not be worth $14.99, but $1.49 maybe.
I just happened to stumble across the deal, thought I would share. When my case comes in I'll update.

Interesting Note 9 Cases NOT Available on Amazon

I wanted to see if I could get some of us to share all the interesting Note 9 cases that are NOT available on Amazon. Typically, I stick with Amazon for basically all my accessory needs for various things because of Prime and its convenience. Especially when it comes to returns. The customer support is spot on, at least in my experience. But I wonder if there's other outlets that have some interesting-looking options for cases for our Note 9 that may be worth checking out.
Every now and then I'll see some ads coming across my IG feed showcasing some N9 cases that I've never seen before. I don't know how legit these places are, so I've never visited the sites. I've seen basically every case available for the N9 on Amazon so now I want to do some exploring outside. Maybe some of y'all have taken a chance with a new outlet and come from it satisfied? Please share.

I tried (and returned) a case from Simply Carbon Fiber (SCF). The carbon fiber looked nice, but I wanted something substantial. The return policy wasn't concise and I had to fight to get my money back... they shorted me $8 when they were only supposed to withhold $3 (a restocking fee). I contacted PayPal (I used PP when I bought the case) to get $5 back. PayPal sided with me and I ended up getting $8 back instead of the $5 I was seeking
At my time of purchase, the UAG Monarch case wasn't on Amazon. It was at Best Buy (red and black) but I wanted black and I had to buy it from the UAG site.

It is transparent, has raised corners, so protects the screen somewhat as well. Does not add to much thickness also.

That's so cool! I'm sure folks have been making biodegradable cases for a while but this is the first time I've become aware of them. Shame that it'll take until next year for them to make one for the N9.
