I'm just curious whether we can expect a defender series for our device or the international version. The Skyrocket has been on the market less than both devices and already has 3 series of cases in multiple colors. Sort of clear who gets all the accessory love at this point.

I think someone on here asked Otterbox (use search) and they "do not have current plans" to make a Defender for the SII or something like that.
I bought a Seidio Active with holster. Seidio basically said the same thing and do not have any plans on making a Convert for the SII.
Sounds like the Ballistic case is your best bet (see below). I like the way the Otterboxes look though but only the Defender comes with a holster.

I have the otterbox commuter and I like it.

They are knock-offs but they could hold you over for now.

Yeah i think i saw the thread you are referring to but the guy only really commented on the belt holster and screen protector both of which i had no interest in. I was thinking about giving one a shot but im definitely going to see if i can get more info/opinions on it. If i get one ill throw up a review with pics.

I love my commuter (I'm glad they came out with the att version), but I'd jump to a defender in a heart beat if they released one.

I would too. I personally don't mind the extra size at all. My Inspire 4G survived a motorcycle crash thanks to a defender case with no damage to the phone and just some scuffs to the silicon on the case. Took a spill between 30-40 with the phone in my pocket.

Military style pants with pockets on the thighs or in a inside jacket/suit pocket. DO NOT PUT IN YOUR BACK POCKET! I had some unexplained reboots whilst in myback pocket.
I use an origial Flip Case. The white one, which is not so white on the inside anymore. It likes dirt.
Quick review of the flip case. It grows on you. At first i thought it was slightly difficult to use, but now after a month the spine is very soft so i just fold it under the back of the phone. This gives added traction as well. The only problem I have really is no big deal and that is that you need to learn to hold it in a different way when you take pictures.
One last thing. If anyone knows or has contact with a case designer I would like one that combines a bumper case with a flip case.
In my purse!

I have a Active Seidio case and holster. I got the gloss white case and its kinda slippery. Not sure if the black one is rubberized as it was for the thunderbolt. The edges are rubber so it's not too bad. However if the black one is rubberized I would go for that one. As far as carrying it the holster is awesome! I'm 6' 150lbs. I do carry it in my pocket when I'm wearing sweats and it's not bad at all. .. I wouldn't know anything about carrying it in skinny jeans as I don't own any.

I've got a slim case on mine and I carry it around in my pocket without any problems.
In my pocket. I don't notice it any more than I noticed my GNex in there. Carried it around last night and today in both jeans and dress pants for work, no problem. I'm not a tall/big guy and I don't wear really baggy pants either. The only way I could see this being uncomfortable is if all you wear are skinny jeans.
Anyone with the first batch of otterbox defender case for the note 3? If so care to post some pictures and a short review based on the previous design for the note 2? As well as does the screen protector that's built in better or worse than the previous design?

to answer your questions as best I can from MY EXPERIENCE.( on note 2 )
The protection factor is top notch.. however, bulk is detracting from phone styling- the volume and power buttons require much more pressure to activate them. also, the built in plastic screen shield which is built into the front outer shell, is rather ugly- floats above the phone, rainbow effects usuaally- humidity gathers below it and actual screen. and holsster is susceptible to breakage when exiting, entering your vehicle. ( happened twice to me..otterbox warranteed both times.
all outlets and ports are covered by a durable flap door, and once opened, access is easy. so my review- from 1 to 10, 10 being best is 9.. penaly for tough buttons and rather blandness/bulkiness of case size.. something like commuter might be less bulky- with less protection..thats where my curiosity of other cases comes in..( ie trident aegis, uag, seidio etc.): but- if you go with otter defender, the plastic screen can be removed ( voids warranty though) and you can use a spg type protector to avoid the ranbows, humidity buildup. I just traded up to the Note 3 myself- so decided on Trident Krakken ( returned UAG Case) Removal and install is a Major Headache.
I have the note 2 as well as the otterbox on it lol

Picked my Defender up today. Overall it looks really good. Unlike my Note 2 Defender case, the note 3 defender doesn't seem to be as bulky.
Getting the inner shell on was tight. Damn tight, but it went on.
I run defenders on all my phones. This is the best one as far as form and fashion that I've owned.
The Best Buy website showed that one of my 2 local Best Buy stores (within 1 mile from each other, but one is a Best Buy Mobile in the mall) had the Commuter in stock earlier today. I drove up there to check it out, but they didn't have any. I checked their site again while in store and it didn't show either store having it any more. I didn't plan to buy it anyway, just wanted to check it out and see how it looked and fit. Their site also showed them having the Qi compatible battery door. Even though their site DID still show it being available while I was there, they couldn't find it even though their system also showed them having 2 in stock. About an hour after getting home, and 2 hours after they had closed, an employee who I left my name & number with texted me saying that she did find the Qi battery door and was going to hold it for me!

I could not imagine it being bulkier than the Note 2 Defender. That thing's a brick!
Otterbox should come out with an Armor Series for the Note 3! If someone tries to jack you for your phone you could swing it around and clobber them in the kisser. That thing would be a weapon!
I'd buy one because it would be the equivalent of a toughbook but in a phone...
How about the commutee

I have this case and it really does not add a lot of bulk to the phone.
I would say around half the thickness of the Spen on its slimmer side, if that makes sense.
Protects the phone really well though, since it has 2 material composition.
I have dropped my phone from my face height several times (talking while holding multiple other stuff on both hands) but case looks fine besides a few surface scratches.
Thickness is about 7/16 (.4375) or 11mm.

I highly doubt they're fake. Smart Shop has almost one hundred thousand ratings and 94% of those ratings are positive. I've also read here on XDA about many people ordering the bumper when it's $0.01 and haven't seen anything about them being fake.

"Fake?" Poetic is just branding a generic case from the same Chinese supplier as the Bear Motion bumper ring case.

Just looked at the bumper they have on their site and it looks very similar to the Poetic and Bear Motion, doesn't seem slimmer and its 2/3 times the price. Looks good though, but not for 24 dollars.

Doesn't look all that similar to me. My main concern is that it might have a transparent shell based on that watermark logo in the pics. That would prevent me from using it with my slightly thicker official Samsung wireless charge cover battery door. The Bear Motion / Poetic case fits fine but I hate the squishy power button. They don't show any pics without a phone so I can't tell if there is a shell or not. With a shell it wouldn't technically be a bumper, but Love Mei is guilty of that error too.

Wait before you order one, the window for the sview cases is too big. Since the original was launched they may have one that is the correct size, that's why I threw mine to the side.
