OK, I'm not a fan. Its an OtterBox knockoff without the hard plastic case. But $9.00, you have nothing to loose!
Isn't it more like this one?
http://www.amazon.com/Technocel-Hol...QO/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1326241379&sr=8-12
For the price I'd go with Technocel over ebay's version. I actually have it and it's quite nice.
Believe it or not they are the SAME EXACT item. Technocel asks a manufacturer in China to make it, then they make it for Technocel, then sell some on eBay themselves. I ran into the same situation with the following:
this Amazon case
and
this eBay case
SAME THING!
I got it on eBay for $2.95 + free shipping.
BoxWave was going to sell it for $19.95 and a shipping charge. I bought it from eBay, while BoxWave was having a pre-sale. (It would be shipped when ready.) People actually paid $19.95 for it.
I emailed the company and told them and their response was "I'm glad you found a similar case."
I sent them the links, and they replied "It is the same, because of this, we will lower our price to $9.95", and they did, but I got the case before it came out in the US directly from the manufacturer at a cheaper price.

The issue I see with this case as well as the Technocel one is the fact neither provide much screen protection in the sense that if your Motorola Photon 4G falls either face down or bounces on the ground and ends up face down, your LCD more than likely will shatter. If I'm not sporting the Otterbox Defender Series case for mine, I'll carry my Motorola Photon 4G in a Trident Aegis Series one. True, the Aegis Series cases don't have a holster clip like the one you reference or the Technocel case/holster combo Mongofrye, but I find the Aegis case by itself is thin enough for keeping in my pocket.

At the same time, both cases provide a lip that protect the screen. At the same time, you have a Gorilla Glass Screen. Now, I love Trident, and I would have a Trident case for my Photon but I could not stand not having a landscape holster. So, that is the only reason why I choose the Defender...
Trident does have wonderful cases though!
Go for the Trident Aegis if you don't mind being without a holster, guys! Great Case!.
(I swear if another mod PM's me saying this is spam, I will never create a post or comment on an accessories post, ever again.)

Good points Deedscreen. The only way your thread could be considered a spamming, IMO, is if you just slammed down a crap load of URLs for purchasing a bunch of stuff.

i saw this one on amazon and figured it is like the one they sell at the sprint store. I like it because (minus the holster) it is very low profile.
I honestly like very basic protection. i hate adding tons of bulk to my phone. The one on Ebay looks different in the fact that it has a soft inside on the holster and the clip swivels in order to act like a stand. Could be used at a desk and you could flip it around to allow charging while in landscape mode.
Either way, i looked a little deeper into amazon and found i think the same one as the one you posted above for only $2.99 + .99 shipping. I went ahead and ordered it. I'll report back on quality.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006L8APYQ/ref=oh_o03_s00_i00_details
In my opinion, the TPU cases provide probably the best protection with the least amount of bulk, but i just can't stand that there aren't cutouts over the volume and camera buttons. Such a pain. If anyone can find me one, i'll jump on it.
This is just another instance where the case is the EXACT same as the Technocel case listed above, and for this reason, I'm gonna go ahead and order it. Savingsss, oh, how I love savings!

I have the Defender also, but since we started this thread I have been thinking, I have no clue WHY I have the Defender vs. the Commuter? 99.9999999% of the time it's either in my hand or sitting on mouse pad so I can change music playlist? he**, even in grocery store its in my hand or the cart!! Truck has dock? IDK!
I see what you're sayin', bro. After using the defender for about 3 months straight, I get tired of it. I use another case for a few weeks then I switch back.

I recently got the Otterbox Commuter case for my SGS2 and like the fit and feel of it but the rubber attracts alot of lint and dust. It collects around the earpiece and front camera and around all the exposed rubber; it's annoying quite frankly.
Does anyone else have a recommendation for an alternative case. I like how the size isn't crazy thick but that it still gives me good protection. I am outside alot and have 2 young boys. I kind of considered the thicker Wrapsol skin as well, anyone used it? Any help would be great.
Try taking a look at the trident aegis, I have one for my Inspire and I don't get as much lint as I do with the otterbox commuter on my s2, though it does it still, I haven't noticed it anyway

hmm those look interesting, have you tried them?
I may have to try out an Aegis, I do like how it doesn't have the part covering the top front of the screen like the Otterbox; I see where they were coming from but I've considered trimming it off. I've been dealing with the lint and such lately, I don't like it but maybe I can convince the wifey to let me try the Trident one out
aside from the lint on the aegis, how does it grip the inside of your pocket when you take it out? is it really grippy like the otterbox is?

Has the one with stand, little bulky but does seem protect the phone well.
I had the Otterbox on my cappy and liked it ok but didn't realy want to spend that much again when I know I will be upgrading every year or so. I did some searching here on XDA when I got the SGS2 and found a link to "Acase" on Amazon. I have no complaints and it was under $10.00 when on sale.

Just finished searching for the Acase on Amazon and I get nothing but iPhone results. Added the SG2 in the search and it returns nothing but battery stuff or some ballistic style case that is just gawd awful.
Would you mind sending or posting a link, I have been looking for a light case for my Sg2 but cannot find anything that I like that will keep it close to its original thinness - dont want to bulk it up by adding a thick case
Thanks in advance

Is this the link to that case? It looks like it doesn't have the right cut out for the Noise Canceling mic.
It doesn't, but you can't tell
If he can tell there is no cut out just by looking at some pics, I'm sure staring at your phone w/ this case on it will be very much noticeable.

+1 for the Aegis, I have been using for about 10 days, love it! It does collect some lint in my pocket, and since I am a landscaper, some grass too! Not a big deal to just rinse it off and let air dry and put back on. The reason I went with the Aegis, is because it has a screen over the speaker phone, unlike the otter box, I did just order the otter box to compare, Ill let you know, but now I am looking at the Acase. The screen protector that comes with the Aegis is pretty weak though, not sure what to do about that, I hate the orange peel, Invisashield.
-nevermind the Acase, doesn't cover port and plugs a must have for me!
You are right no covers for phone jack or usb and the mic hole is off a bit but I just made a new hole with a drill bit. works great

I'm getting the commuter and a set of really nice screen protectors for this. I had the Defender for my DInc2; it was too bulky and the built in screen protector sucked a lot. It got dirty really easily and dust got under it too well. I'd rather have a slimmer case and a quality screen protector.
The accessory I'm most excited about is the Media Link though. It's a pretty penny, but that will be a really cool feature. Emulators on your TV with your phone as the controller. It's gonna be real nice.

I had a defender for my Evo OG and I was able to remove the protector and use my phantomskinz. It was just held in with some type of adhesive and it actually made a pretty good seal with my screen protector.
So if you want to go without a protector, I would imagine it shouldn't be a problem to remove.
Is there a band to go around it? Similar to how the iPhone antennae issue was "fixed". I don't want a case, but I would like a ~2mm lip to protect the glass when laying face down.
Edit: After some googling, apparently they are called bumpers. I can probably get a cheap-o from ebay after release. Does anyone have any experience with a bumper case?
I'm hoping for Trident to release a case... i love their Aegis on my E4GT...i wont consider another brand

TPU-cases.com are usually $8 or so in the early stages and then once more knockoffs come to market you can get cheaper. Honestly, I would pay evwn more as long as I have a case the day my phone arrives that I know I will like. Put a case on as soon as box is open and phone will look like new next year when it's time to upgrade, again.

I finally talked a co-worker into buying a real phone, he went all out and got a Note 3. He ordered a blue Otterbox Defender and I cringed because I had read more than a few negative comments about it, never mind the fact that it was going to turn an already monstrous phone into something comical in girth and usability.
Well, I couldn't have been more wrong. I was downright shocked at how svelte the case was, and it is awesome in every way that counts. It looks good, it feels good, the buttons work perfectly, and it is some nice soft protection on the corners. I was dropping it onto a table onto a corner from about six inches up and it was just a very nice 'boing' when it hit (my co-worker did not share my enthusiasm for this part of the testing). Probably the most amazing thing of all is that it really feels good to use the screen. Yes, if you scrutinize you could see a faint rainbow effect under the wrong lights (like a lot of florescents), but it felt great. The screen cover on my iphone 4 otterbox was a joke, it ruined the feeling of the phone.
I don't even run with a case (I use Gelaskins, which are even more ridiculously slippery than my Note 2 already is), but if I jump ship to a Note 3 I would buy an Otterbox Defender in a heartbeat. I was downright amazed at how good it felt and looked.

I'm on Verizon and I pay $9.99/month with a $100 deductible that covers virtually everything...malfunction/defect, damage, loss, or theft. I've been a Verizon customer for 12+ years now. Never have had any real issues with them concerning insurance claims, etc. We've had to file a few different claims over all these years and haven't really had any problems out of the whole "process" thus far. I remain satisfied and content, even if Verizon IS one of the last carriers to push out official OTA updates. Oh well, there's more to choosing a carrier than just how fast they get OTA updates to their customers. Yea, it's probably nice to get em a lot quicker like some other carriers are able to do, but I'm usually not too concerned about all that, so I'm still a happy camper either way.
just buy one
i buy the middle price ,use very nice and look like original,save money
I have this case and the design is much slimmer than the my note 2 Otterbox defender case!
It's not thick at all so Otterbox and svelte actually goes together in this case (no pun intended).....:thumbup:

I use an Otterbox commuter and it is surprisingly svelte compared to the amount of protection it affords. Otterbox really improved things a lot since the Note 2. The previous generation of cases were write awful.

I love my Black Otterbox Case w/clip.....I always take the screen protector off and scratch off the glue it uses to hold in place. The phone is of course bigger with this case but not as big as the Note 2 case was.
Very happy with the purchase. It has probably saved my phone a couple of times due to dropping.
This case really protects it. Even without the thick screen protector.

Really? how so? I had a white commuter on my Note 2 and I thought it was a great case all around other then I was unhappy when the soft material started to bow outwards from the case and it looked kinda stupid but I now have a Note 3 and I didn't want the bulk of the commuter case like I had with my Note 2 and so i'm trying out Spigen cases instead.

Ribs on Note 2 case or Note 3?
Edit: Oh yeah, those. Never bothered me personally. I was just wanting something slicker then the bulky commuter but these spigen cases feel so flimsy and non protective compared to the otterbox's now. I think i've spent well over $100 at Amazon trying out cases this week, thank God for free amazon prime trial for included 2 day shipping.
With the soft grip/nylon/leather back & strong screen this phone to me seems like an ideal canidate for a bumper case to protect the edges from getting scratched up. Anyone found/using one?
Thanks
Never had any luck with bumper cases. Always seemed to peel off when taking phone out my pocket. I just go with a full case but I always try and find one not so bulky.
Usually Verizon puts one out for their droids I think.

Moto X Pure comes with a bumper case, but I think that's because of the high likelihood of screen breakage on the phone.

Yes, I was hoping the Turbo came with one too. Haven't found one online or in a store yet.

I'm very happy with this TPU case ordered from Amazon.com. It is offered in a few colors. They are about as thin a case as I have ever used. I did have a thin hard shell case for my Moto X that I liked a bit better. But, this does the trick and improves the handling.

I haven't seen anyone making just a nice simple rubber bumper yet for this phone.
If you find one, please post it!
I would really want a bumper one friend of mine has a moto x and it look really clean.
Incipio Bumper?
I emailed Incipio and asked if they had plans to make a bumper for the T2. Maybe it would help if more people emailed them and asked. Here is the email I got back.

Urban Armor Gear makes a great case. Have it on for two days and love it

I bought the Casemate Tough case from the Verizon store. Nice, thin case with texture for grip.
I also got the leather back... I'm sure it'll look nice to the guy who buys the phone from me.

any updates for a bumper/wrapper?
i ended up getting a cheapie $6 clear case to hold me over, tempted to ghetto it and cut off the back

I've tried cutting a case before and ruined it. In my case what happened was the edges where the cuts were made ended up rubbing on my hand wrong. It felt sharp. I used a good metal file to remove the sharp edges. Then it just looked like crap.

Yeah, ive done this also...with similar bad results
it sucks to have such an amazing phone and there be such a lack of accessories...I just want a nice metal frame case thin af...or a clear bumper only....a full case isnt needed when you have a nice custom phone you want to show off....why if moto makes a nice bumper for the mxp they dont make one for all their phones....anyone know a way we can request maybe if enough people do we can get something going
The cimo brand TPU case is the thinnest one I have found. I've ordered several to try. I can live with it.

Moto X Pure has this in the box. Would be nice to find similar for T2/F.

Update: I like the case, it's thin, well made, the phone does not slide around inside of the case, the ports are cut clean and accurately.
