Otterbox Cases

So, I sent an e-mail to otterbox regarding the future of otterbox cases for the NS and I haven't recieved a response back yet, but i'm sure with enough requests we could see a case soon! I asked specifically for a defender
Here's the link for the lazy among us

just did
I just did. I want a defender too!

Just done.

done
I hope it will be available soon!

Would like to see an "Impact" series for the Nexus-S, I like the thinness of the impact, and the cool rubbery grip, without adding too much bulk.

Wow they responded to me in less than a minute here's their 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."

emailed, lol!

lol they are getting tired of our emails! Keep it going!

My Evo's defender was the worst piece of garbage I've ever seen excused for a case. Worst quality control and customer service I've experienced in recent years. Did not email. The vast majority of people on the Evo forums have had terrible experiences, and most of the feedback is crap. Otterbox used to kick ass, not so much anymore.

The Otterbox defender for my Nexus one was the best case EVER (and I had a commuter, tough case and a seido innocase II) Great quality and great protection

Yeah my old defenders for iPhone and N1 rocked socks. My Evo's case had a crack and broken kickstand in less then 12 hours. Without dropping it once. Just normal use and setting it down. Honestly the worst case I've ever used. From what I've heard, the rest of otters Evo cases were ok, but apparently their redesigning the defender due to "design issues" but they still wouldn't refund or replace mine.

I know it may seem a silly question but can you just tone down the sarcasm a touch, at least give the OP some respect.

Brief Review of Ebay Neoprene Case

Hey all, just picked up one of these $4 neoprene cases from Ebay and figured I'd give my 2 cents for any others looking to grab one.
(edit: err, can't post links yet. but it is the one with the SAMSUNG logo on it, NOT the one with the android image.)
After using the Silicone Amzer case from Amazon for about two weeks, I begun to realize that I wasn't fully enjoying the aesthetics of the Nexus S. I found myself frequently taking it out of the silicone case just to see how shiny it looked all by itself
Received this neoprene pouch two days ago from Ebay (a HK dealer, it took about 10 days to arrive), and am much happier with it. Though I am not OCD about keeping a phone pristine, I am pretty careful with my devices. This pouch allows me to keep it protected when not in use (e.g. in my pocket, in my car, or on my desk), but still allows me to fully enjoy the unencumbered design of the phone.
Anyway, here are some photos. Feel free to ask any questions. For $4, this thing is perfect. Ideally, in the future when more cases come out, I'd like to grab something a little higher quality.

pm me the link I would like to but one. Thanks

Sweet. For future reference, searching "nexus s neoprene" on Ebay will get it to show.

I picked one up after everyone said it was the same as the N1 sleeve. For the price it is definitely a nice little case, but the quality is a drop from the N1 sleeve (not a huge deal, but not what I was expecting based on the comments in the other thread).

I would stay away from ROO cases. I had one for my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 white and it left two marks on the back of it, where it seemed to have rubbed the finish off.

I like this guy. Deadmau5 pic and demanding genuine leather! I'm hoping for a case from these guys: http://www.vajacases.com/ - Got one for my PlayBook last year and it's awesome.
Shame they got shipped and delivered to the UK first yet there are very few accessories released here yet. Will be a while until we have a genuine leather case with the 'smart' magnetic bit.

that case has been on sale for years. it's so ugly. Giant leather bondage strap holding down your nexus 7? ugly.

I picked up a leather smart case similar to this one at Big Lots for $8.00. High quality material ! They have lots of 7" case options there for a budget price......scrarch resistant screen protectors , stylus pens , bluetooth speakers etc....
BigLots. com serach the left hand side by ELECTRONICS to see their tablet stuff.

I say patience is a virtue. We all know the tablet for what it is. You either like it or you don't. Most of us have already pre--ordered and are waiting for them to arrive right now.
As far as the caes go, I'd rather feel what they're like in my hand. Via pictures of cases online, 10 look great for ipad and other devices, however only 1-2 actually feel and function as nice as they seem to be described and pictured online.(not cheap feeling, or feeling like they'l literally fall apart, lacking features cleverly not pictured, etc.

Such a perfect deal. Such a bloody shame they don't ship to Canada

Just ordered mine today!

For me none of the cover/cases on Amazon (I was at the local Best Buy to take a look at 7" stuff) are aesthetically pleasing. I ordered a "padded pouch" off Etsy.com and I'm gonna get a sturdy "case" when one becomes available.

Wow, those Vaja cases look cool. Way too pricey though.

you lost me at vegan leather.

Kinda cool skins...

I was looking around for a possible skin for the N7 and came across this site.
Good stuff for the men and the ladies.

Decalgirl is a great store! I used their skins on my wife's Nook and my old PSP. Still holding up since day one....this has been about 5 years or whenever the PSP was released. I have the Japanese model .

I've used Zen and Zen revisited on a number of laptops but since my N7 will be in a case the whole time a skin is not going to be worth buying. ymmv of course.

Been waiting for a uk seller of them as i usually make my own designs....see some of the threads I've made titled skin for evo 3d and desire hd

Would be awesome to see some of these in action. I would definitely consider purchasing one for the backside atleast.

I've used this site a number of times over the years and I really like their stuff. My only concern would be how well decals would stick to the rubbery back of the Nexus. If anyone gets one I'd be interested in hearing about your experience.

I'm glad I didn't pre-order a skin before getting my Nexus 7. Having a skin on the back would be cool, but with the textured rubber backing on the Nexus 7 it's not practical.

Flygrip

Is anyone planning on getting this for their phone? Does anyone here have the flygrip for the galaxy note 2? It sounds like such an amazing thing to have for the phone but I'm still not convinced it'll be worth the 30 dollars for this. Also curious if it adds much bulk to the phone.

I transferred mine from my N7000 and feels the same. Not much extra bulk given that the device itself is not that small.

I just ordered one actually. Looks like an amazing product that would make the phone so much easier to use the just one hand. I'm thoroughly convinced that it will be helpful. Also, you get free shipping if you use the code QBKing77 at time of checkout saw it from his review video on the flygrip.

Swapped mine from my Galaxy S3 to my Note II. Makes it much easier to use one-handed

I ordered one with the free note 2 case. I received it in the mail today. I love the clip and the free case is great! I'm a very happy customer!

What did the free case look like? Is it a soft TPU? Or a harder case?
I just ordered one with the free case and am curious what the case looks like. They don't seem to show it on the web site.
Thanks!

Its a regular old TPU case, that is glossy.

Ive had mine for a couple of months and although it does get uncomfortable to hold for more than a few minutes it does allow for one handed use. The stand features also come in very handy when youre trying to read or watch a video while eating or doing something else with your hands. I took it off recently to get a more sleek design and found myself almost dropping my phone a couple of times, so needless to say I put it back on. Also in the beggining it gets some time to get used to, but before you know it it'll become second nature.
