Anyone? Been looking, only see it on their site. Don't really want to wait for it to ship. If you have seen it, let me know!

I couldn't find them anywhere. I was searching for the last 2 days. I ended up trying out the Defender since I couldn't find it. I must say, I'm liking it so far. Not as big as I thought it would be. You just may have to order from Otter if you want it. It seems that no one plans on getting them anytime soon. Good luck

Thanks! I have seen the pink and white one but I don't think I really want that color!!! lol
I've been searching for it as well. Nobody has it. Best buy has the defender but It's way to big and bulky for my liking.

I would prefer to find one at a local store as well so I can return it if it's not to my liking. Was not a fan of the Defender.
Man I hate putting this phone in a case... It's so sexy and feels awesome... But I am always worried about breaking it... The comuter should be thine enough to work.. If I.dobt like it ill throw it on ebay.

Yeah but no one has the frikken thing. Sprint seems to be sold out. Amazon "Prime Eligible" one is out as well. Had to order it from another vendor. Gotta wait like 10 days to get it. I love Otters tho. Good product t!

Is it me or does the commuter now come with a screen protector made on the case like the defender does? I really hope not...
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
It comes with screen protector included, not attached. A lot of people didn't even know one was in the box and never applied it.
So my amazon order said shipped but then last night I get a refund and a letter saying it will not be coming... So I bought one on ebay... Let's see if I can actually get this case..

uh oh, I ordered one too, just checked and said "shipped" too, but can't find any tracking. dang...
I think if that happens I'll just go to BB and get the siedio rebranded one (PT)
The one off ebay has tracking info and it says it was picked up and will be here the 8th.

I was told by someone at the sprint store that they wont be carrying the commuter in black only the defender. it seems really stupid that they would sell the pink version of the commuter and not the black one. that's why its not in any sprint stores at least
I ordered on ebay Sunday and got the case today...very nice for $23 shipped I'm happy.

Just thought I would share. My local Sprint Store has EVO 3d's and is selling them now, you have to ask though.
They also have both OtterBox's in stock. The prices might make you sweat, but they have them.

They sold me 2 Defender cases, without any trouble at all. They actually walked to the back and got 2 for me.
The Defenders should hold me over until I get a tough case like Ballistic or Trident.

The otterbox defenders usually run $50 retail. This is true no matter what phone it is for. I am thinking the EVO 3d otterbox will be no different.

Funny... I just bought my Otterbox at the store near The Woodlands Mall.
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
They do not have the kickstand cases. They have the 2 Otterbox cases, the car charger (obviously) and they also had the window mount.
Call me a retard but how do you pry the plastic case open? I put the phone in after getting it open somehow, now I noticed the screen is dirty and needs to be wiped. I cant open this beast.
Edit: Ok got it figured out. You have to pry open the tabs on the side to open it up. Now that its all situated, all i can say is this thing is a beast. Very happy especially since I got it for $40 using my USPS discount. =)
Have called the nearest Sprint stores around here and the Best Buy stores as well and all of them either have no idea when they are getting the Otterboxes OR they won't sell them to me until tomorrow (when I have to work ) - I NEED a case!

Just called my store, they are going to call me back. They said they do indeed have them, they just need to check and see if the sku's are all good to go and if they can sell them. Someone is pulling your leg because if it is a corporate store, they should have them on launch.
I just walked into my Sprint store, told them I was told they have the Otterbox cases for the Evo 3D, the guy said yes, went in the back, and brought one out for me. I think all stores have them and its a matter of speaking to the right person.
Hey guys, just wanted to share this great find. I recently purchased a seidio 4000mah extended battery for my evo3d, & am now rocking it caseless, so i decided to shop for a holster. Today i came across buy.com which is selling the seidio branded one for $2.95, which sells for like $30.00 before taxes on seidio's website. I'll post the link below I ordered one, & should receive it soon.

Nice find for the holster. Please post how it fits with the 4000mha bat when you get it.

Would this holster work with a tpu case?
Thats just wro news because my seidio holster just got shipped yesterday...
Oh well, cant buy from buy.com anyways.
I dont think it fits a tpu case but wel see....still 2 weeks to wait before the holster arrives^^
Well according to seidio it'll fit/work with the extended batteries, as long as u don't have a case on it. I ordered it cuz' I saw pics with a naked evo3d/4000mah battery back, & it looked like it fit fine. Also when u look up this product in seidio's website it say's it's compatible with both extended batteries.
Probably won't work with a tpu case, according to seidio it's meant for caseless/naked phones. But hey, for $2.95, what do u got to lose.

Thanks for the heads up! Been looking fire a simple case for the weekends when I'm not using my Defender. Didn't like how tight the HTC leather pouch was, fit my Evo 4g prefect.

Same here, I just received mine in the mail about 5 mins ago, it came in the original box/packaging too. I wish I would've ordered a couple more, who knows when a deal like this will ever come around again.
I ended up ordering two. Got them a couple of days ago
Mine came in the mail yesterday. I was shocked to see it in the full retail packaging! I honeslty expected it to be in a plastic bag, nothing else. I now wish I would have ordered about 10 so I could help out the members here who want one but missed out on it. Sorry guys.
The quality is great, as is almost everything from Seidio!! This is exactly what I need for evenings and weekends, when my 3D comes out of its Defender case. Just wish I could now find a holster just like this that would fit my Commuter and Impact (since they are almost identical in size). If any one knows of one, please do share!
Alright ladies and gents...here it is: the Otterbox Defender for the Galaxy Note!
It's big, but it's sturdy. You can see from one of the pictures that besides the two larger snap-locks, there are 8 other smaller locks around the device. The rubber isn't super-grippy, but it has a good feel. You can also see that the entire front is covered with the built-in screen protector!
If anybody wants more pictures, just let me know!
Thanks 4 the pics...what website did u order from?
No worries!
I ordered it directly from OtterBox's website.

I pre-ordered mine when I got the email from them on 4 May saying that pre-orders have begun. I wasn't expecting anything to ship until the 16th, but I got the notification 2 days ago that my card was charged and that the case was shipping.
I guess I lucked out!
Otterbox has the defender case in stock. They just have not updated their website, 5 days later
do you work in their warehouse and know what their inventory is?
thanks
No and no. I just called customer service and talked to a couple of reps. They stated the defender has been in stock as early as May 5th but the webmaster is obviously not on his/her job. If i was sales director at otterbox, i would not be pleased.
Edit. I just checked otterbox's website and it has been updated to in stock now.
thanks man, maybe they have someone trolling this forum undercover!!

so, anyone who got this case already, how is the screen shield look? Otterbox has had issues with other phone models where the screen protector made an "oily" type residue on the phone screen...Plus, I have one of those expensive Moshi Screen protectors on the Note now, and it would be nice to leave it on there, since its absolutely smudge free, and crystal clear..
thanks!

May have to try that. $50 ain't too bad considering best buy sells the otter box for what? $30-40? Maybe I won't have to worry about dropping it like I do now.

Right, but considering the AT&T OG is larger than the Sprint version, meaning the cases won't fit each other, this is news.
Contacted otterbox and they said they have no plans to make such a case. So either otterbox or the op is full of it.

I contacted Otterbox before the Commuter for the OG was available to purchase, and the two CSRs that I talked to had no idea for which phone it's for (Sprint, AT&T, etc).

Diztronic FTW! My friend is ditching the otterbox for her HTC One X for a Diztronic case after seeing mine on my LGOG
I'm liking the diz case but for those who need superior protection or line of work requires lots of movement I move a lot of furniture a otterrbox is ideal. I got the best buy warranty so really if the front irc back breaks I'm going to get it replaced but for those who didn't get the warranty an letterbox is the best bet.

Just got this case in http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=290842834812&index=2&nav=SEARCH&nid=75614241091 fits perfectly.
Looks like it'll be a good alternative to the Otterbox for those that work outside.
