Just in case the other thread was not being followed much , I wanted to make it real clear.
I have bought 6 dollar cases off of Amazon that are better than this hot mess
Cut outs too small for the headphone Jack
Cut outs too small for the spen
Buttons are garbage , very stiff and lacking a good click
Corners are thin with little protection
Back cutouts block the fingerprint reader and interfere with its operation (about 70% it doesn't recognize my finger, no problems with the other cases I have)
The case itself is not grippy THE VERY FREAKING THING IT IS NAMED FOR.It slides allover when put on a flat surface,unlike the original grip case.
It has a back?? That you are supposed to put skins on??
The sides block the edge and mess with the edge screen functions
I could probably go on , but it's no longer worth it, dbrand should be ****ing embarrassed by this disaster, and I would no recommend this case to anyone.
Not surprised. What a mess. They delay and delay and delay and remain SILENT on this new product of theirs that they had to have spend a lot of money on when you consider the video ad they made and they delivered (finally) what?
If you can do a video review, please do so. Thanks for the update.
Was waiting for a video review to show up on YouTube, from the sounds of it, I shouldn't bother...
I was very disappointed by it. Specific to the Note 9, the cutouts for the S-Pen and fingerprint sensor.
Overall, I prefer the Grip V1. It had actual GRIP and I enjoyed the bumper style case more. The hard plastic felt cheap.
About the only things I see as a plus is that the buttons are textured and the case will probably not degrade horribly like the first Grip.
I messaged them on Sunday to tell them how f***** bad the case is plus some other stuff,guess what?
Never replied back,usually they reply in like 4-6h everytime!
Also told them to post my comment about GRIP on Twitter like they usually do lol
What a loser company,f**** up and can't even admit it!
But lets post how we told/wrote customer's "**** off BIATCH!" on Twitter...that's cool,right?!
Suddenly after the GRIP thing settled a little how they're active on Twitter,roasting/savaging/humiliating people (per fanboys ofc) smfh

Lol was a ****ty read in all honesty!
He basically said it's **** but found what that you can buy for 5$ a skin and put it on,ohhh but you'll have to buy the case for 30something dollars. That's his good?!
Plus he never mentioned anything about the S-Pen issue that you either need to use a sharp object or your smallest finger to kinda press in to get the pen to pop out (same goes for putying the pen back in).Not grippy,hmmmm most important thing isn't good at all,it's garbage.
Button clickability isn't good is f***** horrible,OHHHHHHHH and you don't get used to the fingerprint sensor issue,period! Way to much raised,you literally have to press but press pretty hard in order for your finger to touch the sensor. You do not get used to that.
BUT hey you can buy and apply a skin,that's the good thing. Def would recommend after the review.
p.s. Wrote them a nice juicy message but after 5 days they never replied,basically took our money and f*** off!
Normally they'll answer to anything in 4-6h,this time no word.

Not taking dbrand's side here at all (I hate the case too), but these statements have been made: "You can tell that I’m not happy with the case," "I really like the design and the fact that I can customize it with dbrand’s skins," and "a case I don’t like using every day and thus, I’d highly recommend looking for something else." So the review says that the customizability is the only good side, but everything else is a downside. The S-pen issue hasn't been mentioned because it was a OnePlus 6 and not a Note 9. The review does not recommend the case, unlike what you're saying.
To be honest, though, the power button did get less stiff after continued use of about a week and I got used to the fingerprint scanner issue. Maybe it's more on the Note 9, but it wasn't for my OnePlus 6.
I'm not going against you here; I'm on your side. The Grip (and Prism, for that matter) are both ****ty products. But the review is pretty on point with what everyone's saying.
I've also sent multiple emails to dbrand and they're letting me return it. However, the return process is stupid and just makes you not wanna do it. So just like you, even I'm not happy. Just wanted to make that clear.

You're right!
Didn't see it was for the OnePlus 6,kinda went with Note 9 since it's on this thread,smh my bad should've looked at it properly!
Makes sense now...
Prime example of a company becoming to arrogant regarding it's customer's. You see they wanted to rip us off with a ****ty product. Probably thought we got a **** ton of fanboys whatever you bring out it'll be good enough for them! This whole GRIP thing was a farce, utter disaster... that's why they're so quite about it all,trying to put it under the rug and get moving again without losing to much customer's.
Yet whatever they Twitt it's so amazingly cool,best company ever etc...I guess as long as there are sheep companies will make millions of off people!

Man, you're sooo right! Not gonna lie, I used to be a fanboy too, but oh, how that's changed.
They go around showing how "awesome" their customer service is but it's actually so ****. Despite being the second iteration of their phone case, they haven't even gotten the basics right. It basically proves that they're extracting money from fanboys. And believe it or not, some fanboys are actually like the case!
To make things worse, I got the Prism and that was **** too. Literally cut my finger.
I'm sticking to them to get my money worth, but that's so not happening.

In all honesty,since when was anything "Made in China" good/great?!
Only that shows you they never intended to make a good product,I'm even asking myself now is the GRIP actually made out of the material they are saying it's made of?
Think about this for a second...
You get lets say 100,000 orders
-People need to be payed (costs money)
-Material,template etc...(costs money)
-Put on a skid and shipped (costs money)
-F*** up needs to be remade (maybe they didn't, who knows) (costs new money)
-Customs clearance (costs money government wants some of it to)
-**** up,everyone gets 10$ Amazon gift card (costs money)
Fast run through of the costs/steps to make it and plus 10$ for Amazon. Imagine now how cheap the material and everything has to be for them to make still money out of the GRIPs if you're selling it for 30$ minus the 10$ Amazon?!
These cases couldn't have cost more the a couple of bucks at most per case!
Cheap ass cases,nothing else.Which shows you can't deny it.
p.s. Don't lie buddy,PRISM is dope as f***...didn't you see the guy hammering against his IPhone and PRISM saved his phone??? Smh don't talk **** about the screen protectors
p.s.2 Joke...ofc it's also **** like GRIP

You're right. Now that you've said it this way, if you check the customs invoice, you can see that dbrand has declared the value of the Grip to be $7. I'm actually now convinced it's even cheaper since they can't just go around giving $10 gift cards on a $30 product. That makes it $20 and they still have to do everything else you said. Nope. Impossible unless it's actually like $2 or something lol.
This thing is totally not worth its price. I'm still using the Spigen Tough Armor. Just enough thickness, the best buttons, very low price.
You noticed where half of your monies goes right? I noticed alot of YouTube videos have a snippet about dbrand in them lately.

Shows pretty much how easy it is to market something,you'd think it's 2019 and people are smarter but guess not,ehhhhh?
This GRIP thing should've been there end...we all f*** up no issue with that,but they literally historically f****ed up and now are acting after 2 months like nothing ever happened?

Well said. It's the same thing I say about housing, cars, smartphone costs, and pretty much anything else that humans buy that are overpriced to high hell. I do not understand why so many people constantly buy buy buy and then don't actually seem to care after the purchase is done, that something isn't working as it should. I guess I can't complain too much though because I just got a $20 check in the mail for Net10 or whatever their name was from like 10+ years ago for a settled lawsuit for them lying about "unlimited data." Lol.
Concerning the cases and such, people seem to have a stigma about cases that cost less than $30 apparently. Especially the overly hyped companies...UAG, I'm looking at you. Sorry but $60 for a case? WHAT?! And people often respond with the usual, "I'm protecting my $1k investment, I'm not going to be using a super cheap case." That's like saying, you want the most expensive car insurance policy all because you bought an expensive car, without actually putting thought into why cheaper insurance might leave you better off! It blows my mind how many people just mindlessly spend extra money on something just because they justified it already, or saw someone else do the exact same thing. Don't get me wrong, UAG(am I typing that right?), makes some really sexy cases, damn they look good and feel good. But they are overpriced man.
Reminds me of the ZeroLemon battery cases, Mophie(YUCK!!!), and the others. What in the actual F is all the extra high pricing for????? And why the heck are so many people going to freaking Best Buy to buy the Mophie battery cases like hotcakes???? LMFAO. Man, human beings are....in need of help when it comes to making sensible purchases.
Where are the "Real" pictures of this case?

Heard about them weeks ago...guess they went on sale and sold out.
Definitely a goofy novelty item but how could I not want one.
ha ha those are awesome!!
Those are pretty good...but I also never new they out
id get one of those for my desk
Got 8 of them when they released it. I sold out very quickly. Very cool little androids sitting on my desk!

You can buy a spray can of vinyl dye for like $4. Any color you can pretty much think of.

The glow in the dark one ftw.
I got one at MWC and now I'm eager to get some more of the collection, they're great
$7.25 each just feels like such a waste of money.
I was all psyched about them myself, but there's better things to spend that kind of money on. $50ish for the entire set would have been reasonable in MY opinion. $100+ (With only a chance to get the whole set)... No thanks...

What's worse is that when you order a case, you're not even guaranteed to get an entire set. You're sent 16 figures in random, blind boxes which doesn't guarantee you get one of each.
Still, I'll probably be ordering a case when they become available again.

Exactly! That's why I said over $100 with a chance to have the whole set.
Even on the blog site before they released, they were stating you should get 10 or 11 of the 12. WTF is that all about?!!?. I'm not going to say it's a horrible thing and that people are wasting THEIR money. But I do feel like I would be wasting MY money in the same situation. To each their own, ya know?
Either way... Give me an entire damn set for $50, and you'll be $50 richer. But I ain't putting down $100+ for some plastic and a chance at an entire set. With 4-5 duplicates in addition to that. It's quite depressing if I can be completely honest.
(My $100+ will become Final Fantasy XIII and Starcraft II, LOL... Hopefully I'll get a little use out of the two )

Me too. The little the worker guy would be nice on my desk. It would be the FIRST piece of "decoration" I have. I'm sure my wife would be pleased to know I have a little android doll, but not a single picture of her! She already complains I play with the phone too much already.
Head over to daydeal.com they have some accessories even a TV out cord that says its for the incredible and g2 ( anyone got extra cash to buy it and see if it works? ) I ordered this clear case with a kickstand I'll put a review when i get it. But take a look. Not much of a selection but might as well be prepared
have no plans of making a fat phone fatter. maybe an invisible shield or BSE but no hard case for me.
Hate to say it, but I don't think we'll be seeing much accessories for this phone. Due to it being a Tmobile phone only, I just don't see many making products for it.

I understand that the Desire Z will be out as well, and that still means nothing. All those cases you speak of for the Nexus One are cheap cases found on eBay, or made by some cheap China company. I know because I own a Nexus One as well, and it took a while to find a great case for it.
Also, to compare the new G2 to an iPhone is just stupid. iPhone carries the name, and has been around for years. Of course there's a ton of crap for it. Heck the G2 won't even come near to selling a quarter of what the iPhone, nor will it come close to what the Galaxy S has for that matter.
All I'm saying is that we won't see the nicer accessories made by the better companies make product for this phone. We're just gonna get stuck with those cheap ebay crap.

You can't really blame them. In a business perspective making accessories for the iphone is the most profitable since iphone is, in a sense, dumbed down for the masses. Right now I think Apple and Blackberry combined own at least 50% market share. So unless Android can somehow bring their share of the smartphone market up another 10%, I doubt accessory manufacturers will see accessories for Android devices as a primary source of revenue.
Android devices are made for geeks like us who like to customize instead of having things already premade for us. So I'm sure this aspect will appeal to more and more people in the near future. And from what I've seen, HTC has brilliant marketing campaigns. I'm sure in around 3 or 4 more quarters android will have a much better standing in the smartphone market and more accessories will be made. Just my 2 cents.

I just contacted DecalGirl and they said that the phone is scheduled for R&D for their products. They seem to have a pretty quick turnaround once they have a template made for a device.
i have a 99 cent silicon case for my nexus one which came with a free screen protector. they work great, and have kept my phone flawless.... so cheap ebay stuff works just fine for me.
I'm going to miss my Nexus One's foam pouch.

yea I received it today in the mail and just got my phone about an hour ago. Right now I'm restoring apps so after that I'll make a video off my nexus and put it on youtube
They have said that even though the Nexus 4 is selling out worldwide, they wont make one unless there is consumer demand for it. I have already sent numerous tweets about it asking if they are considering making one soon.
You should shoot them a message asking the same. Even if you dont want one, more case options from major makers cant hurt can it?
Twitter: https://twitter.com/OtterBox
Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/otterbox
Email [email protected]
Some of the replys on twitter look rather promising.
I did an online chat with them this moring.
I was told "there are no plans at this time" to make one, however "that doesn't mean" we won't. Said marketing needed to be done, etc.
I asked if selling millions vs. hundreds of thousands had anything to do with their decision & the said that it could be a factor.
Guess i'm an Otterbox fan boy. Had every smartphone i've owned since the Blackberry Bold in one.
That is what I am hoping would happen if people start really bugging them for it.
My nexus 4 looks great now, but i always worry about that one **** up moment where it doesnt quite make it into my pocket. If they dont want to make it, then oh well, someone else who does want my money will get it.
all the the big case makers (trident, ballisitc, otterbox...etc) are staying away from the nexus 4 as if it was the plague... it's anyone's guess why won't they make a case for a phone that clearly it has a demand (look how fast it sold out at google and tmo) and clearly would benefit from protection, and If they have made a case for the Optimus G... just round out the corners and make one for the N4... no real rocket science there
Well... I want to be optimistic for once... for once..:good:
I really want Otterbox for my Nexus 4 love Otterbox. I don't have a twitter is there a email address I could spam them at.
Sent From My Buttery Smooth LG Nexus 4
i dont do twitter and i dont like otterbox, but ill send an email to bother them just to seemingly trump up demand
updated with facebook and email.
spam awaaaaaaaay :cyclops:
Definitely tweeted them about it, I'm surprised by the amount of tweets about it so far! keep it up guys good work
I would love for them to make a Reflex Series case for the N4 like they did with the iphone 4(s)
Less bulk than the Commuter but just about the same level of protection and easier time to take the cover on/off too!!
Let's campaign this!

I tweeted them, and they asked about some Reddit Petition. Does anyone know about this petition? I'd love to sign it, and think it should be linked here as well.
i was saddened when they didnt make a case for the Nexus S, my girlfriend got the Galaxy nexus, and now she has an otter case for her phone.
I get the Nexus 4.... NOTHING!
just my luck!

Yeah, it's right here: change.org/petitions/otterbox-create-cases-for-the-lg-manufactured-google-nexus-4-2
Sign it if you want the otterbox!
The only one that interests me is the Defender, with its built-in screen protector.
Anybody here who gave this case a try: http://www.ebay.de/itm/390518619002 ?
So far the only one I found that covers the USB port an headphone jack.
Signed.
29 more signatures to what exactly?
don't use this, it will make the n4 TWICE as thick! the otter is too bulky and thick

Case choices are always good. Don't like them? Dont bash them but support them either way. The more accessories we get, the better.
Everybody has their own requirements for cases, some prefer best protection whereas some people want minimal protection etc.

We are evaluating the device and watching the online petitions. However, at this moment we don't plan on protecting the device.

If they ever change their mind, it'll be too late anyway: Most everyone will have settled for other options.
I always put and screen protector and a dual layer case on my phones
Idea is its the 99% mint when its 2 years later, and thus and good phone to sell or to pass onto and family member who does not need cutting edge tech
so when I see people in the pub/bar/work etc
put their phone face down on a table, say with salt on it and when they get a notification the slide it face down toward the edge of the table to get it over the salt
and they ***** that its not scratch proof when it starts looking bad.
you all know these people, they have a 1 month old S4/HTC One/iP5 and it looks 3 years old.
makes me want to take it off them and give them a 10 year old Nokia brick cause its all they deserve.
anyone else have this gripe ?
No one else ?

It usually doesn't bother me unless they say it's the phone's fault. Then I'll defend the phone. As long as they realize how they are treating the phone I couldn't care less. It's their money and phone so they can do what they want. So... option 3?
I find you don't always need a screen protector. I never use them and never get scratches. However my friend always manages to get scratches on his top of the line screens. I know he's clumsy but I don't get what things he must be doing to scratch gorilla glass 3 :-/
Well, their money, their phone, the decide what to do with it.
I know what you mean though, and regarding my own device, I always have a cover and a screen protector on it. It does add a little bulk and it almost hides the original design of the device, but I'm willing to sacrifice that in order to protect my (expensive) device. It also means that I can be a little les gentle with it than I otherwise would, since the cover will absorb most of the bumps. I don't slide it over salt though
I don't care enough about people to care what they do with their phones. It's not my phone they're ruining, and the only one whose money is wasted is their. I just laugh at them.

I wan't to cry and than kill people who treat mobile devices, PS's, laptops like thay paid it 5$...I have seen all sorts of things (I'm servicing tech).
Why that bothers me? Because, people treat gedgets like baby treath her toy, and when thay broke it, thay panick and get angry.
I live with one persion like that...It's hard to watch, every day, believe me
Why do you care what other people do with there stuff?

Its a general gripe against people abusing nice gadgets and moaning when they are broken and scratched to death.

Still not as bad as seeing a blonde 45 year old woman crawl along the motorway at 80kph in a brand new Porche, only for her to later spend half an hour attempting to park it in a spot three cars wide. And fail.
That's far more painful to watch.

I am right there with you. I agree 100%
Meh. I dislike screen protectors as they always slightly detract from the vividness of colors. I do use case now but I've never had an issue keeping phones in good condition with no case or screen protector while putting them in an empty pocket.

Ehh, i don't really have any gripes about people and their phones. Like, the rest I agree that it's their money and if they're stupid enough to not take good care of it, then they can spend more on getting a new one. Yay for the economy.
I take care of my phone and if someone asks me how come my phone looks so great compared to theirs, I say "hmm I don't know. I try to take care of my phone".

Agreed. My uncle did that with his work issued iPhone 4s. Plus he never cleaned the screen. His phone was always dirty!
2 weeks ago he told me he was getting the new iPhone. I told him to demand a case and luckily he got an otterbox defender...

The thing that really confuses me is how the phone operates. Employees only pay $10 a month for the phone. But the entire phone is locked down. You can't install any applications. The only thing you can do is use the web browser, send and receive email, text messaging, and take pictures.

our company, and its a fortune 500 does not lock down the iPhones.
It's not my place to tell others how they should spend their money or treat their property, but I don't get why so many people will spend hundreds of dollars on a fragile piece of electronics and not protect it with so much as a screen protector or TPU case, let alone something like an Otterbox or Incipio. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, and a few bucks in protection can save a hundred or two in a new screen or insurance replacement.

As I posted on Youtube:
These "drop test vids" are making me sick. Wanna know why? It´s not the money - and hell, it´s not that "someone would be sooo happy to have one!!1111"
BUT: These Devices contain a LOT of rare earth elements. They contain a LOT of ecologically harmful elements, and hell, plastic is the most harmless of them. Many people in the southeast worked hard to assamble the device.
And what for? Just to be dropped on concrete - and to be uploaded on YT. Again and Again. Thats just Bulls.
What makes me sick is the fact of a bunch of people is waiting to have one and they are destructing the phones
I know that they do for a reason but still.....I can't get one to treat with care and they just smashed one....Life is not fair :cyclops:
Not to mention these tests are useless. You drop any device with a full glass front and chances are it's going to break. It's really just luck if it doesn't.
The only ones who BENEFIT from a stupid drop test, is the manufacturer. They LOVE to see people make youtube videos dropping
their devices. FREE money (unless the manufacturer gave it to them).
I do not care for "drop test" videos, because anyone with HALF A BRAIN knows that if you drop a piece of equipment, that has
ELECTRONICS inside, chances are you actually might damage it! :silly:
How silly.
Look mom, gravity!

I wouldn't trust drop tests all that much, as they are pretty much 100% luck based.
Here is another one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCX3qNtzGzI in which the camera lens survived what seems to be a near direct drop on the camera area on phone's back.
