What is the big deal with these? 50 bucks for a case.

In my experience with various phones and cases as well, no case protects like the otterbox. It adds a considerable amount of bulk, but it's well worth it. One of my friends will confidently throw his blackberry across the room (not saying it's a good idea for us, but just demonstrating) into a concrete wall without hesitation. It also gives the phone a better feel in my opinion. The silicone they use grips, yet is still pocket friendly in that it won't grip like cheap flimsy cases.
I, personally, plan on getting the Defender series.
As stated above the quality of their cases is fantastic. A lot of sales have to be built on confidence of past buyers because the price isn't always cheap but the product is worth it.
I've used their cases in the past and I'm glad to see they'll be supplying the Incredible as well.
I'll most likely be going with the Commuter because as much as I like protection I don't want to add to much bulk.

I have been waiting for this case since phone dropped. I ended up going with seidio rugged case and if you look on Amazon you can find it for $30
Had an Otterbox for my Eris, liked it...got the Incredible last week and got my Seidio rugged case (w/innocase II combo) this week and absolutely love it. Regular and rugged case, all part of the same!

seidio and otterbox are all i'll put on my phone. they make the best cases available. you get what you pay for.
Now we just need to wait another 3 months for them to actually go on sale.
Otterbox... when you're just that damn clumsy
I miss my otterbox case for my D Eris.
I just got my seidio innocase rugged and like it a lot but its not like the otterbox cases I have had. Hurry up Otterbox!

I'm struggling with the fact that they released a case for the LG Ally before the Incredible.

Just ordered mine!
I'm between the commuter and the defender. Can't decide.
is commuter easy to come off.. only had a defender prior
Check the pdf on the webpage. It shows the parts of the commuter. Looks like a silicone wrap and a hard polycarbonate shell. Should be much easier to remove than the defender.

Just ordered the commuter. I like that the commuter has the silicone between the hard shell and the phone. The defender is backwards. The hard plastic and the the silicone wraps over it.
Got the commuter.

Otterbox or Trident Agis

I really need a case for my phone but im stuck between the two. In you guys opinion which case is better?
What are you looking for in a case and is price an issue?

I'm looking for protection for the most important feature then looks, but no price is not a option

The otterbox commuter is gonna have better protection than the aegis. I just got the aegis and like it, but the commuter case for our phone is pretty nice, and im sure that dual layer on that would be better in a fall than this hybrid aegis case. Im loving the way it feels and fits, just not a true dual layer etc

With about 4 Otterbox threads and 3 Trident agis threads floating around right on the same page, I wonder what makes people start new threads?

I'll have them side by side when I get the commuter sometime next week. From reading all the threads about the Otterbox, I'd say it will be the more protective of the two. If you want a slimmer case than there are definite benefits to the Trident. As far as protection, I would put it a few degrees above a scratch-protecting / minimum tpu style case, but its still very snug and firm feeling. It doesn't have much cushioning and there is nothing extra on the corners. For me it remains to be seen if the commuter exceeds it.
As for style and looks, offhand I'd prefer the Trident. Otterboxes are too plain and boring. Plus they are everywhere on everyone's phone. I might slap a FlyGrip on my commuter to at least make it semi special. FlyGrip probably wouldn't work well on the Aegis due to the recessed logo on the back.

What case

Not sure witch to grab, I want a nice solid case but not something like the defender. I need something that offers nice protection but not by making it super bulky. The ones Im looking in are
the Seidio Active (love the Kickstand)
Otterbox Commuter (love the dust covers)
Urban Armor Gear
Ballistic SG
All are withing budget, Also do those cases block NFC from working?
I vote for UAG. It doesn't effect NFC and fits all of your criteria. If you can wait (they are extremely hard to come by) that is the best way to go. Just my 2 pence. CHEERS :beer:

Anyone else? Uag might be a bust if I can't find one before going back to work

I would recommend the UAG, fits perfectly and looks awesome! Also, I have tried the Otterbox Commuter case but I believe the UAG is better.... if this helps you at all.
Do any of those choices have a belt clip? Got to carry it some how.

I ordered both UAG and Trident Aegis case. I haven't received the UAG but I got the Trident yesterday and its awesome. I cant comment on UAG yet but this Trident case seems to be exactly what you are looking for. The dust covers arent as good as the commuter but they get the job done. It fits perfect and the buttons are easy to press but not too easy, just right. The case feels sturdy and offers decent drop protection. I might just end up selling the UAG case. We'll see how it stacks up when it gets here. You can get the Trident case for about $20 btw.

Aegis, I keep coming back to it.. its best of both worlds since it offers a decent amount of protection with a slim design (I cut off the bottom dust-cover so it fits in the Smart Dock now )
All right ordered a UAG case but dont think I'll get it before I go back to work, Since I work as a Bell Canada tech I need something solid and since I just learned that we are all getting Note 2 with a defender case in April, I need something else not as bulky, Will check the aegis and see how easy and fast I can get it in Canada, got 1.5 weeks before Vacation is over. Can some one post good pics of the aegis with phone in and out side by side, one that shows how much lip it has protecting the phone, please?

Case Show Down

As the title states, which case would you choose and why out of the three of them. Looking at the slim armor but want opinions from others who have any of them.

i have the slim armor soul black and the incipio teal blue case. i dont like the camera and button cutout on the incipio. they shouldve made it tighter and not so open. i havent opened the slim armor package yet to try it on due to waiting on my tempered glass screen protector, but it is a nice looking case. also spigen makes quality products ive ordered several cases from them in the past with no disappointments. the otterbox is just too big! (thats what she said) <--- get that out of the way. at least in my opinion.
so slim armor it is!

I had the commuter with my S4 and I liked it at first then tried on the Speck Candyshell and asked why I ever got the otterbox. It seems like there arn't as many choices with the G2 vs. the S4, might be cause of the whole VZW vs. others deal. I wanted to try the slim armor the first time around and I think i'm going to pull the trigger now that you mentioned that the Incipio isn't the best.
Thanks

LF Soft/Rubbery Case

I'm looking for recommendations on soft/rubbery cases with a minimal build. I found a few online but no reviews yet and I really need a case with a good grip. Hard, poly carbonate cases were too slick for me and didn't feel good in the hand. I had a good rubber case for my G2 a couple years back but I can't remember the brand. Thanks in advance.
*edit: Wouldn't mind a gel case either if on par with a rubbery case's grip.

beautiful case. Do you know of a similar one that fits the leather back?
Spigen has some nice TPU cases, if that's what you're asking for. They SAY that it doesn't fit leather backs, but some on the forums here have tried those cases and it seems to be fine.
