How long after a handset has been released does it normally take Otterbox to start releasing cases?
I had the defender for my DHD and would like to get the same for my sensation.
Thanks.
they told me before that there has to be a demand for them to make cases for specific phones.
Unless your phone keeps the Dr. away, in the wind you will sway.
Yeah I got an email today saying that they are not producing them at the moment.
Ah well looks like I will get a casemate instead
What a mistake on Otterbox's part. Im personally expecting to sell more cases for this then the Evo 3D. Usually Otter releases about 2 months after launch for non Apple products.
So what is the best alternative?
I.E. What is the absolute best in maximum protection?
Looking for a case that even prevents dust from entering as well !
Trident Cases

Nice cases. Though not available for the Sensation either
I wrote to Trident and they said they will be producing a case for the Sensation and they will be available next month. They didn't say which type of case it would be.

Hopefully it will be like an Otterbox.
I'm looking for maximum protection so it preserves the resale value when I sell in a year or so.
If anyone finds a case like that, let us know!
I emailed OtterBox an this was the response.
"At this point we do not have any information if a case will be made at this time for that device, but it is something that has been requested a lot. I would say to keep an eye on our website, as it will have the most up to date information on any new releases that we may have."
I would say keep those emails going to otterbox and we should have a case in no time.

Just emailed them too!
In case others want to show support, the email is [email protected]
Emailed them, here's the response..
"We do not have any information if a case will be made at this time for that device, but it is something that has been requested. I have put in a product suggestion on your behalf, and recommend keeping an eye on our website, as it will have the most up to date information on any new releases that we may have"

I got the exact same response, then the guy said itd be really sick if they came out with one. they'd be dumb to not produce it but im gonna have to get a substitute in the meantime. the casemate looks like an inferior imposter. thoughts?
Me too!
I have also e-mailed them and gotten a response. It said pretty much what everyone else's has said, but it also mentioned that there was a high volume of interest coming in about a case for said device. So it seems this whole e-mailing them is working.
Here's what I got from Zach:
" We currently have no plans to make a case for this device, but I am happy to pass your request on to our development team. Customer Service finds out about new case releases the moment they are posted to the website. It is best to keep an eye on our website or Facebook page, as they will have the most up to date information on our products and new cases."
No plans? Uh Oh

Trident cases (any version that they make) will be perfect for protecting your phone. I had one on my Samsung Vibrant, and it was awesome. The said they will have a case out next month.
Put in my e-mail...
Sent an e-mail to Otterbox...expect the same response as everyone else is getting but hopefully if enough people e-mail they will get the hint and produce a case.
While I'd hate to hide the Sensation's beautiful build, it would be nice to see a rugged case out on the market. Hopefully Otterbox pushes something out soon.
@Otterbox confirmed today on twitter they are developing a case for the sensation! Hopefully they will do commuter and defender at least.
Tpu case working fine for now...

Hello All,
It seems to me that none of the big boys in the case market don't think there is a market to make cases for the Nexus line of phones (5x/6p).
I've sent emails to UAG and lunatik, a facebook message to Otterbox and got the responses that there is either no information or no interest in making the cases for these phones.
This is a call for you to bug those companies to show them there is demand for good quality cases for the Nexus line of phones.
Once the reviews come out there will be more demand but for now let's make some noise and email or flood the Facebook pages to let them know that we want the cases.
If we can show them there's people who will buy them maybe they will get their head out of their asses and put in the effort
Post who you have emailed and update with responses. With some luck and effort, we might be able to change their minds
There is a similar post in the 5x accessories forum. if we are to get anywhere we need to work together
Otterbox: https://www.facebook.com/otterbox
Diztronic: Cases coming over the next couple of weeks
UAG: [email protected]
Tech 21: https://www.tech21.com/en_us/contacts
Incipio: [email protected]
Spigen: Cases coming over the next couple of weeks
Cover up: [email protected]
Lunatik: [email protected] (these cases are beyond durable and sexy as hell)
Love Mei: http://www.lovemeicase.com/index.php...mation/contact (knock off of the company above)
If I'm missing any companies, Please let me know and I will add their contact info
Maybe post some links to their email addresses and FB pages?
Edit: links are up, sent one email to each, will send another round in a few days.
gonna create a list in the second post
if you know of any emails or fb pages, please post
Also maybe we should all focus on one manufacturer for say a week for instance. All if us, as a whole, Just bomb that one company for a week or so. Not literally bomb them.... Send emails i mean. Lol
Fired an e-mail / DM to each one of those linked in the second post.
One message to each from each person will work, as long as they see there's interest and the numbers to make it worth their while

I always buy Spigen cases. Let's hope they make a case for Nexus 6p.

I made a poll in that OP and emailed them several times while linking them to the OP as well as asking them via their chat. I think that contributed to their decision but it was a community effort to request the cases now my only hope is that they make more of them.
List updated

This is beyond stupid. The consumer should not have to contact these companies with manufactured pleas for their product.
If they choose not to appease the Nexus market then so be it, several more will rise to fill in the gaps.
Verus for example has already produced several gorgeous cases while it took Spigen weeks to not only come up with contradicting email replies, but a product as well.
Use your wallet, and don't be a tool to these companies.

Well if you want something and they aren't making it what's wrong with asking? I agree that we shouldn't need to but at the end of the day it's nice to have more options.
Hey all
Since the new nexus devices are getting amazing reviews and selling like hot cakes, maybe we should send another round of messages to the manufacturers again to see if they have changed their mind

I just discovered a US-based company called Carved (www.carved.com) that make wooden-backed cases. They've made cases for the Nexus 6 and 5 in the past, so I sent them an e-mail asking for one for the 6P. Some of their designs are really quite unique; I'd definitely pay a premium for something of quality and made in North America.
In other words, I'm asking people to e-mail these guys with requests, too
Let's pick a company to bug about waterproof cases. I'd pay good money for a waterproof cases.

This. I'd love to use my phone for fieldwork (and just generally in the rain), but LifeProof is all I know and they will likely never make a case for anything that isn't an iPhone or Galaxy. I just got one of those Ziplock-looking bags off Amazon as a stopgap measure.

Please go here and request the Obex for the 6p. I had one on a previous phone and loved it! Would be awesome for the 6P. Seidio makes amazing products.
Asked them via a support ticket if the would be making 6P cases, response below:
Hi <oodLes>,
Thank you for writing in! Unfortunately, a this time we do not have plans to make cases for the Nexus 6P. That may be something we decide to do in the future!
Please let me know if I can help you with anything else.
Thanks!

Disappointing as I wanted to continue over my case from my Nx5. I'm not sure but if we ask enough times they may change their mind?
This is very unfortunate. I'm shocked they made Samsung and really old Nexus cases but refuse to make one for the 6P.
probably read the "bent after 2 days" thread, and didnt want to deal with some of you
Hahaha Dat cheeky reply
Droid-Life just posted an article where they received a Carved case for the Nexus 6P.
http://www.droid-life.com/2016/02/25/carved-wood-phone-cases-nexus/
Functionally they're literally identical to the #WoodBack Explorer cases made by Cover-Up, but Carved seems to offer a much wider range of designs beyond different types of wood grain, with their coloured resin swirls. You definitely pay a premium for that extra level of uniqueness, though! I'm pretty happy with my aromatic cedar #WoodBack case, but I'm not going to deny that Carved makes some really slick-looking cases, too
Those are really awesome looking cases. I posted on their Facebook page. Hopefully they release one for our phones soon
I believe they have released a number of cases for our 6P under the Satellite series.
I've been keeping an eye on this case from the Ballistic Case company. It's call the Ballistic Tough Jacket. It's finally been released. Here's a link and a picture. It's only for people who don't use the fingerprint scanner because it looks like it's covered. I'm excited about it because i want my power and volume buttons covered.
https://www.goballisticcase.com/shop/lg/lg-v10/tough-jacket/
Also, the company decided not to even manufacture the Jacket Maxx version of their case. If anybody else is interested, here's link for the Maxx case they made for the G4. I spoke with someone at the company and they said that there wasn't enough interest in the case from the carriers to produce it. I'm going to put a link for their email address. If enough of us are interested, and shoot them an email, I'm sure they'll produce it.

I dunno noob error, I guess. I'm hoping people will email the company about production on the new case. And I figured more people would be able to see it if it was a new thread as opposed to hidden deep in a blanket thread.

That thread has 59,000 views. Which means people are constantly viewing it and posting in it. Which means it'll always be near the top of the Accessories thread

Would you think it'll be easy to cut out the finger print sensor covering to get it to work?
Yes....the rubber piece will come right out or you can cut it with a razor blade
Thank you for your reply. This may appear amusing for some, but the ballistic case seller on Amazon says the finger print sensor will still work while covered with silicone rubber.
So this thing is available?
I've used Ballistic's cases since the G2 and love them. Always used the Maxx version. I like how the case covers the rear buttons and I really like the holster. I have the V10 now and emailed Ballistic today and they say they have no plans to make the Maxx version for the V10..... bummer.
