Looks like Seidio is finally developing cases for the Rezound. First up is the surface, I can't wait for the active line.

Yup! I had the Surface on both mine and my gf's Incredibles that worked great. I can't wait for this case.
I tried to chat with a Seidio rep yesterday to find out when they would releasing (like early 2012, etc.) and she couldn't provide any kind of timeline. She did say I could sign up to receive a notification but I'm not really trying to do all that.
I used to love their other cases on my g 1, specially with the holster. I know it took forever for them to come out on the droid x, hopefully this doesn't take as long.

I was initially pissed that they didn't make one for the Desire when I had it until recently so I went with otterbox on that phone when I got it since it was the only good case out for it. Now I am glad because otterbox makes a much better product than the seidios on my blackberries.
I got a $6 tpu case on ebay and its great, why spend the money?
loved the case on my Incredible - been waiting for one for the Rezound - this time I'll get the holster for it too

The TPU cases are great, but don't provide the same level of protection as something like the Seidio Active. One big thing I am looking forward to in the Active is how the gel layer makes it easier to press the volume/power buttons since there are little rubber bumpers inside. Whereas the TPU cases make it nearly impossible to press the buttons.
I have a TPU case too, but for me, the only peace of mind it offers is knowing I can set it down without on a surface without worrying about damaging the casing. I would NOT anticipate a TPU case to protect from a bad drop. Not enough protection for adequate shock absorption.
And as a personal thing, I think the Active makes the phone look better, and also makes it feel better in hand. Burgundy Active case on this device will fit really well, since it is red/black, which is the theme of the device. So yeah, that is why I buy the Active. Greater peace of mind, device functionality, feel, and look.

I have a TPU case on my Inspire (which is a pretty well constructed phone). I had it in my camp chair cup holder which I folded up when I was leaving. When I swung the chair into the car the Inspire must have came out. I backed out over the Inspire (Tire tracks on the back of the TPU case). When i realized it and went back for the Inspire it was face down and the screen protector was scratched from the gravel, the volume button was broke (but still worked), and a couple very small marks on the edge of the frame around the screen where the only problems. Pulled the screen protector and everything works fine.
I now have a Otterbox Commuter on my Rezound. I guess I dont know the point of the story other then the Inspire seems to be better built then the Rezound. I'm not sure it could survive getting run over with my Otterbox let alone a TPU case.
I'm REALLY hoping they come out with an active case for the Rezound. I have one for the standard and one for the extended for my Bolt and I LOVE them both. I have an Otter Defender on it now just to keep it in good shape while I wait for Seidio to come out with something.

They've confirmed that they are making both the surface and active for the Rezound. Just a matter of time.

cases, cool... but what about Seidio extended batteries and extended battery cases?

The case means the most to me. I would also hope they make the dock like they made for the Bolt (with the insert so you can dock it with standard or extended battery.) I would LOVE to see a kickstand on the case too since I use my kickstand on the Bolt a lot. They ended up putting the one kickstand on the Active extended which was great too.
Go Seidio Go!
I keep getting emailed sales and discount offers from them - but still no ReZound cases - I'd totally take advantage of your sale seidio if I could order a case/holster for my ReZound!
Surface line now shipping, active coming soon.

Any word on an otterbox for the galaxy note? Or possibly something similar with heavy duty protection (heavy duty case with holster). I'm not into flip cases, gel skins, pouches or TPU.

Otterbox have not announce anything for the Galaxy Note, so we have to wait and see.
I've found news. Hopefully this is true and they go in our favor http://blog.techiewarehouse.com/otterbox-breaks-silence-about-galaxy-note-defender-commuter-cases/

Wow I can't wait. I already ordered Impact Heavy Duty which have otterbox quality and it cheaper (10 buck). It so bulk like the otterbox, but don't have screen protector and have kick-stand. I can't wait to get the Defender!
Great - I will wait until the Defender comes out.

I can't wait for a defender either. I don't like the cheap feel of the kick stand with that case and the fact that it doesn't come with a holster.

Awesome news! I have a case now but would switch.
I've been on them on their Facebook page for weeks.... Same replies. I'm awaiting its arrival but fear they may not release a defender due to size.
On a lighter note, I was in a best Buy in green bay and saw 2 Defenders brand new for a...... Wait for it..... Dell Streak! Only $39.99!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA App
Lol, unbelievable @defenders for dell streak. The dell streak has a 5 inch screen so otterbox should at least consider it for the note. I'm keeping my fingers crossed I really want a defender for my note.
Sent from my Galaxy Note
I'd much rather see a Ballistic or Trident case. Otterbox tends to use their best materials/factories for the iPhones.
I like the level of protection both trident and ballistic offers but they should include a clip with them
Sent from my Galaxy Note
Otterbox is good an all.. but if we could get these guys to make a case for our phone, we'd be set.
Saw it at Best Buy and emailed them a few times. Even offered my phone up for prototyping purposes, but I'm thinking they aren't into it, despite the number sold.

Seidio looks like they have "coming soon" on their active combo case/holsters. I had the seidio with my atrix and actually liked it better than my Defender case....mainly less bulky.

Same here. I had a Defender on my Atrix for about two weeks before I decided it was simply too bulky for everyday use. Swapped to a Seidio Active and haven't looked back. I'd love a Seidio Active for my Note. I can only imagine a Defender for the Note being slightly less bulky than a laptop bag.
I understand seidio is less bulky than otterbox, but does it offer the same level of protection? I wouldn't want to compromise thinness over it not protecting the phone from drops very well.
Sent from my Galaxy Note
But they did an awesome job with the iphone 4 Defender in keeping it trim yet protective. That design, holster and all is exactly what they need to make for us.

The only decrease in protection that I could imagine would be the rubber flaps for ports and whatnot on the defender. The seido active or other cases like the speck candyshell are awesome at drop protection just like the defender. I've dropped phones in these cases before from 5-6 feet off the ground onto concrete and absolutely no harm done to the device. Unless you're big on the port coverage, I don't see why people buy the defender, as it has so much unnecessary bulk. I know you want the belt clip/holster though, so it looks like the seido active would be a good choice once they have it.

That case looks sweet.
I got a reply back today from otterbox. I asked if they planned on making a case for the note. They said they're working on the otterbox commuter case for the note as we speak and should be available soon. Thought I would post just in case anyone was interested.
G~Note "nuff said"
I had an Otterbox case for my Streak, and loved it, but I have to say that I am shocked at the quality of this generic case I got on ebay for like $8! Head over to the accessories forum and you'll see some pretty happy campers who spent less than $10 for a case...
Sent from my SGH-I717R using Tapatalk
I have used Otterbox cases in the past but the last time i checked they were listing the case for the G Note at 56$ Um they can kiss my business g buy. I got a very good Reiko case from a seller on ebay for 8.88$ delivered The Reiko case is everybit as good as a defender from over priced otter! I tend to be from the school "ya get what ya pay for" but the Reiko case even has a kickstand, flap covers that cover charging an earphone ports.
I had bought one of those off brand cases for my ns4g on amazon. It came with a stylus and like 3 screen protectors for 10$! They're are some good deals out there so I agree. I seen that reiko with the kickstand think I seen a red/black one. I might have to get it. I bought the flipbook (hated it before I took a chance) I was surprised tho. Note looks sexy just doesn't offer much protection in case of a drop
G~Note "nuff said"
Otter says on their site that they sell their own products higher on their site then what their resellers sell for b/c they would rather you buy through them but won't refuse money. So the price quoted is always higher then what is available once they start shipping. I bought a commuter for my Vibrant and loved it. I did break it eventually and that happened by removing it so many times. I just wish I could get the Defender for this thing. I may have to look at some of the knock offs out there for such a dramatically lower priced case. I still just want a nice (brown) leather belt clip holster since leaving the tie off is considered a casual day at work for me.
Otter box return policy
Even tho theirs prices are little higher than the norm, the have excellent warranty policy and will pretty much ship you a complete new case if need be, providing you date and name the pictures. I've received a couple through this process (All defenders cases), ex complete case (SGN), replaced several holsters (Iphone, Backberry, Nexus S)

They included an amazing screen protector with my iPhone 4 commuter case also (better IMO than this SGP one that I'm using).
I will probably pick one up, especially if it includes their protector...

I've had an Otterbox on every device I've had so far (iPad & iPhone). They really make some great cases (a bit costly but worth every cent). I can't wait until I can get one for the Note.
I love otterbox too, however, I needed something right away. I'm a bit to clumsy to gamble on a $750 device. I ordered an "active" case from Seidio, they are similar to otterbox except no screen protector (I use zagg anyway). One thing I like about Sedio products over otter is the options. It's a three layer case with the first layer having the capability to be a simple standard case. Check them out if you don't feel like waiting.

I've used their case with holster for my charge, the belt clip has held up very well. I was mistaken on my first post. I thought this was the equivalent of the defender series. After looking at it again, I see that it is more like the commuter series from otter box but with a holster. Still a great case/holster combo in my opinion. I can't post a link yet, but check out the online store at seidio.com.

The dude at the ATT store told me Otterboxes were "bulky pieces of crap".
Then he proceeded to try to sell me a Speck case for FIFTY BUCKS.
I had to pass I too am looking forward to a commuter case.
Moved to Accessories​
As this is a post about accessories it should be in that section​
I have received confirmation from my otterbox rep that cases are in the works
I've received my case from Seidio, and I like that it doesn't make it that much thicker. On a phone this size, any bulkiness may be a bit to much. I'm also glad to hear that otter is working on one as well. I have a gift card for them and would like to compare cases.
Either way, the active case from Seidio is what I expected. I also cut my own custom screen protector from a HD Zagg designed for the kindle fire. I think the stylus works better with the HD version then their standard protector.

I have a Seidio case at the moment. But after a few months of use, the rubber inner skin is starting to stretch, causing it to seem loose in areas. (Driving me crazy)

Someone here did a review and it seem solid, just not for me. Can't remember the reason. Likely because I already had OtterBox Defender?
I have a Seidio Active and love it. Easy to remove and put back on, has access to kickstand, and not as bulky as some other cases but offers good protection.
All boils down to personal preference.
I have the Seidio convert case with a flygrip on it. It does add some bulk and you can't use the kickstand with it unless you take off the two outer layers. The protection is great though, covers over everything including the camera. The holster works nicely and has been secure so far. If you don't mind the bulk and like protection from drops and dust its the best case IMO. Get the flygrip if you want a kickstand and more, you won't regret it.
BoxWave Slimfit
Stylish and slim so it's just what I was looking for
I did a dyi port cover but other then that it's the best $8 I've spent in a while

Next Case
I have the Otterbox Defender as well and really love it. I have to admit though a friend of mine just bought a Trident for their Samsung Epic and it was totally hot! It might be a great ... next case
I have been using the Incipio Silicrylic case for a while now. It seems to offer enough protection without adding too much bulk. The only thing I have against it is that the silicone skin is just thick enough to prevent the phone from seating completely on the connectors on the car dock. Fortunately, the shell and skin are easy and quick to remove.
i use the otterbox defender and mounted the belt clip to my forklift at work and mounted a speaker and now i jam all day at work plus i can take calls lol

My dad recently bought HTC EVO 4G LTE, but he doesn't have a case yet. I'm thinking buying him a case for coming up Fathers' day. I don't know that many cell phone accessory providers, and I don't wanna get him something cheap ones from Amazon or eBay. It would be great if you can recommend me a specific product for my dad, or it can be just a name of the store.
Thank you in advance.
Well, if you equate cost with quality, you'll get recommendations for Otterbox or similar. But I just got my new Diztronics TPU case and it's fantastic, and it was only $10. That's my recommendation.
There are tons, likely have to be ordered so be fast. It all depends on how bulky/slim you want it. There are a few threads here, just read up.

VERY impressed. Make sure whatever you do don't buy a plastic case if it doesn't have some sort of gel on the inside. They will scratch the crap out of your phone. I had two Seido's for my OG EVOs and they marred the finished on the edge of the phone TERRIBLY.
The defender is amazing great quality so far. Thinner than previous evos. Put mine next to my girlfriends shift and they r almost the same thickness
