I got my Otter box commuter series from FedEx today and its really nice i recommend it to anyone looking for something slick and that will protect the Photon 4G.

Has anyone with an Otterbox case tried it with the HD dock? The Sprint branded case doesn't work with the dock, hopefully Otterbox actually tested theirs with one before shipping.

Which Sprint case? I've got the case with the holster and it works with the dock. I assume that you aren't trying to use a case with the dock insert in place. I did have one slight issue with this case though and I resolved that with a small diamond file. The hole in the case where the USB and HDMI connectors are located was slightly too small and kept the phone from fully seating on the connectors. I don't know if that was an issue with just the one I got or all of them.
What do you mean the otterbox just came out? I ordered mine a week ago from otterbox.com and have it with my phone. Its been available in my Sprint corporate store since Monday.
Anyways the defender series does not work with the dock. I assume the same is true with the commuter series.

The Black case that comes with clip does fit (sold at corp stores), just make sure you take out the removable tray spacer on the actual car kit.
Never mind, I ordered the defender and Sprint insurance.
Thanks

Hi,
I really like the Commuter because of the silicone layer that covers the ports and buttons. I seem to keep getting water damage on my tablets and smart phones even though I'm careful to keep them out of water. Maybe because I use them in the kitchen a lot (I'm always cooking and cleaning for my wife and kids).
But it looks like it doesn't come with a belt clip that I need. Is this true. I'm hesitant to buy the Defender becuase man that thing looks really bulky and I like a sleek feel.
I do spend a lot of time with the kids at the beach and in the mountains so the Defender might be the way. Or I've been having so much trouble with water damage I'm thinking of getting the Sprint $8/month warranty and then I could just get the Sprint belt clip and if the dishwasher steams it up or it's dropped in the sand I just skip happily down to the Sprint store and pick up my new one.
What do you think?

Thanks for the replies. For some reason, I have to jiggle the phone with the case on to get the webtop option to appear for the dock. With the case off, the webtop option appears immediately when I drop the phone in. And yes, the plastic dock insert is out.

Take your phone out of the case and then take the case and put it in the dock. You will notice that the hole in the case where the USB and HDMI connectors are isn't the right size to fit down around the raised plastic. This is where I had to use a small file and enlarge the hole. If you didn't know i did it you wouldn't know and if I had to take the case back under warranty they wouldn't even notice. I had the same issue as you with it not seating right and now when I get in the car I can toss my phone up in the dock with out any effort and it works perfectly.

Which Sprint corporate retail store sold you the Otterbox Defender Series case for the Motorola Photon 4G? The reason I ask is I in one of their retail stores and we didn't receive them not do I see it for upcoming accessory launchs in one of our internal inventory systems.
If it isn't a HTC or Apple product my store isn't getting any of these.
Whats the verdict I've never owned a otterbox only body glove.
Not sure if I should get the defender or commuter
Pros and cons for both besides size and price?

Unless you're planning on doing some crazy extreme sport with your phone, I would definitely advise the commuter. It's got great protection and if you ever have to do a battery pull, it's much less of a pain in the rear to remove.
Only thing that sucks is Otterbox doesn't make a holster for the commuter. No idea why they don't.

Dude I'm so mad right now my store never gets all the new **** unless its for HTC. I hope we get some in our shipment this week so I can get a discount
Yesterday I activated about 4 or 5 EVo's and the only cases we had were the otterboxes and our yellow livestrong cases. So I sold one dude a inspire case by accident. He didn't want to spend 5 or 6 dollars more for the commuter I got lucky about once for screen protectors on another customer.
One dude had no deposit 3 lines he didnt want to buy anything. Apparently yellow is gay and he didn't want to live strong.
Sorry guys I'm having a salesman rant
I just got a defender from radioshack. It was 29 with my employee discount.

I should have it in 10 business days. I like these because it helps me keep a grip plus protects it from scratches.
I'll let you know what I think when I get it.
There is also this one from PocketSolutions. It looks like it gives better protection.

OK here's the deal. Got the white one from Pocketsolutions and it is for a Tytn so it fits pretty loose..or somthing and the buttons don't fit properly.
I ordered the black one from...that igo place and they only sent the bottom portion. I contacted them to send the top half. I hope it is for a true 8525. I'll be pretty miffed if it isn't.
I'll report back when I get the black one...
BTW if you use a sticky pad in your ride...the silicone case won't hold and it'll slide.

Ok thanks Xultar.
Let me know if the Igo one fits any better when you get it. Finally got a Javoedge matte screen protector, so much better than the T-mobile rubbish that came with the phone!

Welp...the one you have pictured is the best one in my opinion. The 2 piece silicone are a pain. There is a slight lip that keeps it from fitting properly. I suppose you can cut it off but why chance it.
If you have a TyTN you'd probably have a better fit with the 2 piece since all the ones I've tested seem to go with Tytn even though they say they are for the 8525.
The 1 piece does not give as much protection as the 2 piece but the 1 piece is more apt to stay on.
Any one in the ATL area who wants a free TyTn white silicone case PM me. I work just inside 285 @ Glenridge...Oh and you'll get a white neck and wrist strap too if I can find it.

I have already went through all of the silicon cases that you have mentioned. The only thing is, it will take a couple of weeks to get it as it is coming from Hong Kong. It the best one yet. AND allows access to the keyboard and protects the screen.

On the site it doesnt say it fits the Cingular 8525... I Know the Tytn and 8525 are nearly the same but the fron buttons are different... i wonder how this cse fits!
Can the flip-up screen protector be removed?
I haven't found the two piece silicone cases to work well at all. The one piece style which I picked up from igonemobile is a good compromise in that it offers a reasonable degree of protection and still allows you to use the phone. This plus a good screen protector works for me. The two part cases stink.
I bought the same from igonemobile but the silicon cover does not fit the body snugly...it irritates me like hell....a definite no no from my side....

You are correct it is quite loose. But! Just know that 2 piece one does not stay on. As a matter of fact it doesn't stay on nearly as well as the igonemobile case.

I also had received this case (luckily for a very low price...else...) and i can declare also that this case is ****/crap whatever you want to call it....but it doesn't work/fit or stick to the pda.
Never ever spend any money on this piece of ****.....
What i don't understand is how you want to fit a 2 piece silicone case on the tytn as the opening between the keyboard and pda isn't big enough to let 2 silicone pieces go in between and slide over eachother.
The only thing you are forcing is that the slide will get loser because of this silicone crap case.
The front is also fit very loose....and once you put the pda in you're pocket and want to get it out again you are left with a pda with no case and 2 loose pieces of silicone in you're hand.
So please....never ever buy this POS....!!!

Well I know that they will be adding more cases because I reviewed the site about two months ago and all they had were the Aegis and Cyclops series. The Kraken series is new for the Atrix.
I use the Speck case currently and I couldn't be happier with this product but if I do buy another case it will definitely be the Kraken because of the kick stand built into it. Dope!
I think I might pick up the kracken. I like the can lens cover, among other things.

It has three parts, a silicon back-cushion, and the two poly-carbonate(plastic) front and back that clip around it. The plastic has a soft touch finish which gives you a solid grip. I do not like that the crease between the two is so obvious, but the two are securely attached so i can overlook it.
As any rugged case expect it to be bulky.
But it's not as bulky as an Otterbox Deffender.
Unlike the Otterbox Defender this case will not insert the belt-clip with the screen facing outwards or upside down. It only goes in one way, this is something I'll have to get use to.
My favorite feature is the kickstand.
I am confident That this will supply the same amount of protect as my Defender. I will replace my defender with this and will let you know how it handles the first drop.
I have had the otter-box, hated it ... Otter rubber loose, lack of directional screen dock and no car dock for charging etc... Base phone has a great dock.
I bought the trident case, the base unit - Much better case, camera lense cover instead of a dust hole like the Otter. Rubber is much tighter and a little more grip never hurts.
Now I need to mod a phone blank, add a pig-tail cable so I can mount the blank phone in the car dock, route the power out about 3 inches to the glued on belt clip - Hey, you never know, that just might catch on.
just bought the Aegis case for my phone; i'll post pictures when i receive it.
update, if anyone is interested. my case came in the mail today, but unfortunately the package got crushed and the case was damaged. i contacted the seller and asked him if i could get a new one and mail this one back, but they're giving me trouble. said they were out of stock, but i don't really believe that.
anyways, i'm just gonna order another one (this time from Trident themselves) and i'll be posting pictures when it arrives.
it looks really cool though, doesn't look like it'd add a lot of bulk. a little smaller than my Speck case. can't wait to get one that isn't broken, and the kickstand feature is really cool

well, i superglued the case back together (i can't get a replacement anyways, figured i'd try to fix it... didn't work out too well >.<). it's not worth using as a daily case in it's current condition, but i'll snap a few pics for you! just remember that it'll look a LOT better after i get one that didn't come snapped in two pieces =\
I just ordered mine as well. I've always loved Otterbox gear in the past, but this one is a flaming piece of crap.
Here's to hoping it doesn't suck.
Figured I'd post my thoughts, as I just got the Kraken case and from what I've seen so far it is a great case. I've have the body glove silicone case I got at the AT&T store and one of the mesh cases. guess I'm a but of a case junkie. My last phone, the LG Expo did not have God support and there were only a few case options, and I've kind of gone off the deep end with my Atrix.
My daughter and son-in-law have i-phones with Otterbox cases and the way the silicone comes loose and gets caught when pulling it out or putting it in your pocket gets really annoying. I like how the outer case of the Kraken isn't silicone, it slides into my pocket without any drama.
As posted on the previous page the seam where the case joins isn't as nice as I was expecting from the pictures online from trident. But my case seems to have gone together a little better than his did. The included screen protector is fairly decent but how it holds up remains to be seen. It looks like it can be removed fairly easily if it gets to scratched up. Time will tell and I will update my review if anything changes.
Seeing that I just got it, I'll wait before I review the holster as I haven't used it enough to give a fair review.
All in all, so far I really like it.
I'll post some pics when I get a chance.

Then it's not for you. The point of a case this style is not to be slim & sexy. It's to keep heavy handed fools like us from destroying our several hundred dollar investment.
Mine came in the beginning of this week, and so far I'm happy with it. Looks and feels much better than my Otterbox did, but there is the 'seam' issue as posted above.
and thats what its all bout, being happy. I thinking bout getting one now. I choose function over form any day.. If i was worried bout how my phone looked i would bedazzle it, lmao.
As it turns out, this case sucks too. Admittedly, I'm rough on my gear, but this puppy was coming apart at a 2ft impact from day 1.
It looks and feels great, but definitely doesn't hold up like an Otterbox.

Hi,
I just got a gel case and set of 3 screen protectors off of Ebay:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/17068638073...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_4357wt_1037
http://www.ebay.com/itm/18072112098...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_4900wt_1037
I'm not associated with the seller, but thought that if anyone was interested:
- The gel case (I got the white one) fits pretty well. Snug, and all the holes in the right places (the power and volume+/- buttons are covered, but slightly raised).
- The protectors were actually not bad. I always hate putting these things on (bubbles, dust), but these were pretty heavy gauge plastic or whatever, so not bad for 3-4 USD (incl shipping).
- Shipping to East Coast U.S. took about 2 weeks (seller shipped next day, but then...).
Just an FYI.
My daughter, who also has an SGP5, bought locally, and paid almost $50 for case and protector (with "lifetime warranty"). She's still telling me she likes hers better, but for less than $10, I like mine ...
Jim

Hi,
I'm the OP. The one (white) that I got does have cutouts for the speakers (both the speaker below the rear camera and the other one near the "bottom" of the SGP5).

I bought this gel case and these styluses,
http://www.ebay.com/itm/180721123550?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
http://www.ebay.com/itm/180658846208?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
This case has two additional cut out area, one for the upper left corner and one to the left of the usb port on the bottom. All cutouts work and the buttons are covered, but the area is raised so its easy to access them.
I originally bought a $10 dollar stylus and these ones are much cheaper. They aren't made of a metal body but they do the job if anyone needs styluses for their device.

White New Soft TPU Gel Case Cover Skin
Thanks to those who recommended this skin cover for the Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0 from seller "thomaszoe1314" on ebay.
White New Soft TPU Gel Case Cover Skin For Samsung Galaxy S WiFi 5.0 G70 YP-G70 (180721120989)
I paid $4.88 with free shipping from HongKong! I ordered the white one on 12/15 and was delivered just two weeks later by USPS even with the holiday rush.
It fits perfectly snug and was just right in terms of tightness for installation without forcing too hard. It has solved the problem with the SGP5.0 being hard to hold onto and also when setting it down on a hard surface without a thud.
The skin is attractive and has a couple of unnecessary holes for other versions but they dont do any harm.
Along each edge where where you pick it up, there are nice treads to improve the grip even further.
When sliding SGP5.0 into my shirt pocket the plastic doesn't "stick" to the fabric and make it hard to get into my pocket.
The plastic doesn't stink like some cheap toy plastics and the molding details are all refined and top quality.
The buttons (power and volume) are fully functional beneath the plastic.
Very pleased, and thanks again to the previous posters here that alerted me to this bargain!

Hi,
I just got a gel case and set of 3 screen protectors off of Ebay:
I'm not associated with the seller, but thought that if anyone was interested:
- The gel case (I got the white one) fits pretty well. Snug, and all the holes in the right places (the power and volume+/- buttons are covered, but slightly raised).
- The protectors were actually not bad. I always hate putting these things on (bubbles, dust), but these were pretty heavy gauge plastic or whatever, so not bad for 3-4 USD (incl shipping).
- Shipping to East Coast U.S. took about 2 weeks (seller shipped next day, but then...).
Just an FYI.
My daughter, who also has an SGP5, bought locally, and paid almost $50 for case and protector (with "lifetime warranty"). She's still telling me she likes hers better, but for less than $10, I like mine ...

Hi,
Actually, I hadn't noticed that, but when I put the 2nd one on another SGP5, there is a piece that covers the home button area that can be popped out (which I actually did). Sorry about not mentioning that in the original post.
Jim
P.S. My SGP5s are all US versions.
Just wanna share this.

You guys also know that ebay has invisible shield full protection and screen covers for the SGP player 5.0 and 4.0 with versions for both the physical and capacitive homescreen buttons? They are around 20 dollars on the invisible shield site, but you can get them for less on ebay
i'm using imak jelly case from ebay like this,
good quality, but glossy case
I found the Lovemei aluminum bumper while checking for the spigen neo. I was so taken away by the minimalistic approach that I immediately ordered one although I usually prefer shopping in brick and mortar stores. But accessories are for the N3 are currently a little sparse there, so I got my spigen bounce via amazon.
Although I like the bounce, I prefer the more rubbery grip of the note 3s back cover and I often get the phone out of the bounce at home.
I'm really excited how it turns out.
I'm curious whether or not I like the fact the camera lens will be more exposed than when using a case that completely covers the back of the phone. What I disliked so far about any of the cases I used on any device so far is, that usually the headphone connectors of better headphones don't fit through the cases (I have a sennheiser and yamaha over the ears for home and a pair of shures for on the road, and only the yamaha will fit without a slim adapter).

This looks nice and all but the problem is when that time comes when you have to pull the battery you're screwed if you dont carry the screw driver with you. I had that issue once with my Note II
I ordered this bumper for the Note 3 so I will report on it when I receive it.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/321226071402?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
You should beware that this bumper doesn't have a hole for the mic(?) on the right side-bottom area of the phone. I ordered this from ebay thinking it was an even thinner version but it turned out to be the LOVEMEI bumper. Mine came with a few light scratches here and there and I decided to drill a hole for the before mentioned area my self.
The fit overall is decent and I don't mind using it despite some of these flaws because its the slimmest and clean looking bumper I've found so far.

Ooops. I didn't notice the missing hole. But yes, I think drilling an additional hole shouldn't be that bad. I hope mine doesn't arrive scratched. I'd rather scratch it myself...
Amazons webpage tells me that it was sent. Arrival time is estimated somewhere between Nov. 5th and 11th. But if it was sent today, I'd think it could also arrive about next Wednesday (would be great).

also would know how this bumper is
I've ordered my bumper last Saturday. On Sunday, Amazon tells me that the product was shipped via standard conditions. And the only information I got so far is, that delivery is supposed to happen..... Between Nov. 5th and 22nd.
Well, ok. Snail mail and 5th is somewhat acceptable. But the 22nd? They got to be kidding....
I like how these aluminum bumpers look but is it true that they effect reception? Anyone notice?
currently I am using this Holster case for my N3 but after getting known to this aluminium bumper now just wondering to go for one....but the only issue I would be having with it will be when I need to take out my battery then that could be a tedious task for me and for that I need to carry a screw driver with me all the time.....but I dont think its quite often to remove or to take out the battery......so would be getting the one...
I ordered mine got it, installed it and dropped 2 bars of signal.
I did multiple speed tests and lost 85% of my LTE speeds due to the bad signal.
You cant take the rear cover off,without a tiny screw driver. (the ad said you could)
has sharp edges. (I was going to sand and polish mine like chrome.)
so ya, I have a $23 dollar paperweight.
Stay away from ANYTHING metal on these devices.

Depends on how often you want to swap your battery. My razr HD has a non removeable battery and it lastet between 2-3 days for me. With my N3 I get about 3-4 days. So in my case, I don't feel like I need to take off the cover often. After reading some posts here, I'm more concerned that reception could get bad. But I guess I'll see how it works. If it's getting too bad, I can still go back to my bounce case. Although I really do like what I see on the product photos. But this one has to be seen with the real product, too.

Ooops. I'll see once I receive my bumper. At work this shouldn't be an issue, but at home, reception is already somewhat flaky. I don't care much about download speeds, but the phone part should still be working ok. I'm using my phone more for reading, music, navigation, guitar tuner and such. So downloads are mostly via wifi at home.
You're right sirrrrr

I had just received the bumper like 5 mins ago. And you're right sir, the signal dropped like 60%. I am so pissed. The worst part is I ordered 5 of them, two arrived, three on the way
Well, mine didn't arrive yet. The supplier of the bumper is not amazon itself, and as the part has already shipped last Sunday, I cannot cancel my order anymore. So I'll wait and try and then see how much it affects my day to day activities. If I don't have any reception anymore or if my battery gets drained too fast, I'll revert back to my spigen bounce. Otherwise I don't care too much. I mean if you have 5 or 3 bars doesn't matter that much as long as everything works the same, at least I think so.

Just a shot in the dark here, but does anybody know if these or any bumper will work with s view cover?
I suspect the answer is no, but figured I'd ask anyway. I like the look but dislike that the sides of n3 are exposed if I should d**p it.

This is something I was afraid of, too. But actually, the back cover is replaceable and I use a screenprotector, too. I hate small scratches on my glass and prefer having them on a sheet of film that I can remove should I want to.
As the S-view cover is hinged on the back cover, I'd bet that using this accessory won't work.
I meant to ask if they will work in terms of fitting on the phone in conjunction with the s view cover.

That's what I thought I had replied to. The bumper goes all around the device, and the "hinge / spine" of the s-view cover will most likely be attached so close to the device that it would need to be under (between the bumper and the devices side trim) the bumper. I think that the bumper won't fit then anymore because it's also made to fit tight without adding bulk.
The S-view cover replaces the back of the device, so the hinge will be right where the bumper needs to go. I don't know how I should try to explain myself differently. If you think I misunderstood, I'll be more than glad to make a sketch so it gets more clear. Maybe we talk about the same but interpret each others writing differently.
Well, i was looking for Love Mei cases reviews around the accesories forum, but it seems that no one ever talk about this case, so i'm opening this thread to show this beautoful case, and ask if any one has see it.
on the official webpage says that it cost $US88, but i have seen it in other online stores in half of the price.

Here its the demo video for the Galaxy S4 case. this is almost the same, but with slim waist
Review from the regular Powerfull Case. this is the same but with a curvey slim waist shape. all the protection are the same:
And here is the official web:
http://www.lovemeicase.com/pro.asp?id=45
Looks nice but I wonder if it will fit the wireless charge back that I have. I also notice it needs two screws so for those who change batteries often, you'll have to carry the screwdriver. Otherwise, it looks awesome. Thanks for the link!
Are you sure that this case is as resistant as the one on the video? Because I'm thinking about getting one, and I like this one more than the one on the video, but if you can't throw it on the floor and "drive a car over it", what's the point of it?. It looks great but it's really big and Note 3 is already big. So if you don't get perfect protection than there's no point of getting one..
thx for the link
if it's from ali it's probably a fake.

Hi, yes, its the same technology, but with another shape. here its the video of the small waist, but for the iPhone 5:
do, im not sure if it can resist a car, or the motorcycle like on this video, but its a rugged case and it will protect your $700 bucks inversion.
hope it doesn't hurt reception and gps like the original love mei case does. I bought the regular one and while it's badass and crazy protection, I can't use it due to reception getting knocked down.

I am using it right now to type this. I have been using the regular model for about two months now and the gps is the only issue I have. I just got the slim waist model from a friend today. She said that it killed her signal at her house, but she lives in the woods and only gets 2 bars at best. I live in town and I'm fluctuating between 3-4 bars all the time. I have not tried the GPS since I put the new case on. I'll upload a few pictures in just a second for those interested. I like the case a lot.
I am a police officer and I keep it in the front pocket of my outer vest. It gets rained on regularly and I just wipe the water off the screen and keep going. The silicone on the back makes it grip your dash perfect without sticking in your pocket.
I got my first off Amazon and the case I'm using now came from eBay. Both were shipped from China and it took about two weeks. Both came in nice packaging and the quality of the cases is great. I'll answer any questions you can come up with. I just discovered the thread.

i read that this case has issues with people hearing you as the mic is obsructed. what complaints have you had abnout this? im sure you call supervisors and dispatch a lot?
Love Mei Note 3 Case
Well I can say for sure that this case is a TANK as far as protection goes. Now, I did contact someone from the company to make sure that the problems with the previous version of the case was fixed and he said yes. So I bought one, Black on Black.The new waist design is cool, but some of the reported problems STILL exist. NO 4G LTE inside a building or residence. I had to remove the mesh behind the ear speaker in order to hear anyone. The bottom speakers work very well. The screen most definitely is not SMUDGE or FINGER PRINT proof. I know that no screen actually is, but this screen is freak-en bad. So DO NOT GET ONE IF ANY OF THESE PROBLEMS BOTHER YOU. Especially you OCD clean screen freaks. The aluminum is just as bad with finger prints, sorry. The rubber on the back and sides is a DUST MAGNET. The phone is very heavy, but with all that said, I am very happy with buying it. I bought it through EBAY for $30.00, and it did ship very quickly from China. I wanted a heavy duty case to protect my $700.00 investment and I found it. I am a law enforcement officer and a gym rat, so this case will go through hell and back. The issues I mentioned do not bother me, but may bother some, so I hope I answered all questions.
Respectfully,

Be nice to see some pictures or a video of the new slim waist version please, nothing to be found as of yet anywhere online, aside from the official website.....
anyone who wants a yellow one, I'll sell ya mine for what I paid for it ($30). I'll pay the postage.
it is a tank and will protect like no other, but can't stand how heavy it makes it and the gps reception and cell signal is unacceptable.
I ended up buying a Kraken case for the days I need real protection and on the normal days I run the Aegis.

Can you snap some pics of the case with phone installed please? There are none online
I may just remove the metal areas that cover the antennas, if needed.....
Is your case genuine, or one of the cheaper clones?
