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.

In the works ballistic shell gel (sg) series case

With the otterbox on the way and this I'm not to sure on what to get. I'm thinking this one so i can put a Glass.T on it. Otterboxes have a screen built in and i'd hate to have to cut a case. Anyways here are some details from the site.

here is a video of the original note with the case on so you can get an idea of thickness
and here is a kind of regular guy review of Shell Gel cases

The pics of the note 2 look nicer than the note 1 videos. I might consider this. Thanks.

Nice, considering this case also.

There is no way i am putting this thing near my phone, but very protective though

I have this on my HTC sensation and its awesome. I recommended this to my friend as well and he love it. I'm waiting to get it for my wife's note its just solid and doesn't feel bulky in the pocket and I've dropped twice from seat height and all is well. Better than the over priced over rated otterbox which was great when first released now they are just out to make money. No quality in them anymore.

I was saddened when I learned SGP is not making the Glas.T protector for the Note 2. This curved glass thing is irritating. But, their ultra crystal is amazing, I highly recommend it.

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?
Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 2

I'm looking for protection for the most important feature then looks, but no price is not a option
Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 2

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
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium

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?
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium

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.

Looking for a good tough case.

I currently have the Case-Mate tough and don't think it could handle to much. I o ly want to spend around 25, and I can still return my case mate to amazon. Any sughestions would be great.

How tough? I feel like my otterbox commuter could handle a drop from ear height, but from what I hear, UAG is a better way to go.

I have never cared for otterbox, but I was thinking about the UAG just wanted more input. Doesn't need to be super tough just handle a fall if needed.
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda premium

People say the UAG has almost the protection of a defender with the size of a commuter. I have no doubt that it could withstand a ear height drop. It's $20 on amazon.

I had one like this, but I think it was a generic, looked just like it, but it changed colors and looks dirty after about a month of using it.
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda premium

Otteebox. Is the way to go. Have dropped my phone plenty of times. Glad I have this case way stronger than UAG. Uag does look nicer but I prefer having my phone WEELLLLL protected im sure u do to. Don't just wanr a case because it looks good. Want a case that will protect your phone from a fall.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 2

I have both the commuter and defender cases from Otterbox. Both offer solid protection the defender I like more because of the built in screen protector. Keep in mind that the UAG cases don't offer port covers for the headphone jack and USB port which was a selling point for myself. Another key selling point was the customer service. Can't say anything though about UAG because I haven't bought their case nor dealt with their customer service. When I contacted Otterbox about an issue regarding the commuter cases they sent me a free warranty replacement as well as the defender case free of charge.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2

Do your homework before you buy. Customer support is important, and a big company like Otterbox has a great one based on the fact they are in every service provider store as well as every Best Buy. But the truth of the matter - they rushed with Note 2 design and FAILED to deliver with Defender. And because they are king-of-the-hill-Otterbox, they didn't even want to admit how poorly they executed design of that screen protector. Read hundreds of posts in XDA or AF, and read all Amazon review comments. EVERYBODY complains about screen protector not being flush with a Note 2 screen, thus being concaved up and leaving a gap in between making it feel like you are using $50 resistive touch screen device. Yes, I bought one from Verizon store, couldn't believe my eyes, called Otterbox and they pretended on the phone like have no idea what I'm talking about, sent me an email with case# to reply back with "pictures" so they can send me a replacement. I went back to Verizon store, and went through every Defender they had in stock - all the same problem with a screen protector. Turned on-line to read everybody having this problem and simply just popping out the plastic screen as soon as they buy it. Why would I want to buy $60 (MSRP price) case to destroy it in order to make it work for me? Furthermore, because of that concave up screen, it creates a suction effect through cutout holes in that screen protector, sucking in more dust that will require you taking case apart periodically to clean it up. Do you think those inner plastic case latches will last that long, with constant taking apart? Oh, and that plastic screen protector was awful with s-pen - leaving marks all over the place. And if you remove plastic screen protector - your inner plastic case fitting is not rigid anymore (read about people suggesting to put a tape inside). Port cover-plugs are great in dust environment, but when you are using your phone as GPS in the car and need it to be plugged in - it will become a huge nuisance, not to mention pressure that micro-usb port cover puts on the connector, in both Defender and Commuter. And with Commuter, I personally found back of the case to be slippery and no grip with a surface when you place it on the smooth table top.
If you read testimonials of people who own UAG and dropped their case numerous times, they walk away without a scratch. UAG design is rugged tough and you get a convenience of a molded single piece case where you don't have to take layers off to get to your battery. If you need a super-duper drop protection case, go with CONVERT which offer multiple layers of protection, all the port coverage INCLUDING camera, has a great kickstand, can be stripped down to SURFACE if you don't need all this extra rugged coverage, and has one of the BEST holsters with a locking spring-loaded latch. Just need to invest in a good regular screen protector, like iSmooth which I also highly recommend (3H hardness, easy install with no bubbles, perfect edge adhesion).
Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking Otterbox down. Its a great company with a great reputation and TONS of sales. That's how they can afford to have such a great support staff and offer warranty replacement and freebies without breaking their bank. They obviously built their reputation of a quality product delivered for all these other phone models, and have a decent iPhone base support. BUT, with Note 2 they rushed to deliver it to the market, and totally ignored all the negative comments. And this is not just my humble opinion. It's everywhere you read about their Note 2 cases. I tried Commuter a couple of times in Sprint store, and walked away. Bought Defender from Verizon store, exchanged it, and then returned a few days later...

three excellent cases for the delightfully successful Galaxy S2 that will keep your precious safe and sound. Whichever you pick – the dual-layer Case-Mate Tough, the feature-filled Otterbox Commuter or the stylish SGP Ultra Capsule – you can be sure that your smartphone is secure.

Which case?

Looking for a case that's:
1. Rugged (at least decent shock impact)
2. Somewhat slim
3. Not too pricey
So far I'm torn between:

And

Anyone know which case or of another have the best combination of shock impact without being too thick?
Thanks.

I have the case from the first link you posted. I've had no problems whatsoever thus far. The belt clip is really secure and the silicon not only covers the phone but it serves as a border around the screen so if you drop it the screen won't even touch the floor really. The case is decent too. Definitely worth $13.

about how thick is the case?

It's not bulky. You can trust the reviews on amazon for the case. It's worth it especially for the price.

I have the otterbox defender series. Due to the design of the case, There's a bubble in the screen protector. I simply poped it out and replaced it with a zagg screen protector. Search ebay, I only spent $30. Still waterproof and my 3 kids literally throw my phone across the room and it's still in brand new condition

I almost went with the iBlason, but ended up going to Unicorn Beetle route. It's a nice case and I really like it. It's a tough TPU throughout with a polycarbonate slab on the back. Looks pretty nice and feels good in the hand--quality materials. The only thing is you have to shave the little inner button nubs off with a razor blade as the Amazon reviews mention.
Good luck deciding.

I own both, as well as just about every other case made for our phone...
I hate the i-Blason, and have since I took it out of the package. Nothing really wrong with it, just not my taste. Inner portion is too mushy, hard to slip it in and out of my pocket, and I don't think anyone would call it "thin".
For "thin and rugged" you are far better off with the SUPCASE. Also look at the TUDIA Ultra Slim Melody.
