I wish it was a defender series though... much better protection than the commuter series. Hopefully they will release a defender for it soon.

I don't know if they can make one for this phone. Aren't the only phones that get those "one piece" phones?
Does anyone have one of these yet? Too soon to ask that question?

at first look, this $35 otterbox looks very similar to the cheapo $5 ones that's selling everywhere. i'm sure the quality is much better but is it $35 better as the protection is still 2 piece? im curious to see feedback from those who ordered
Its quality over plastic.

Damn, it didn't upload in HD.
I had a very bad hang over while recording.
How is the grip on the commuter series? I'm always afraid that it will slip out of my hands.

Just got mine in. Looks great will post some pics tomorrow.
This is only the second otterbox I have had. The first was a defender for the 3gs. This commuter case is well built and feels and looks great. The only problem I ran into was the first silicone layer was getting pinched at the corner when I was trying to put the outter cover snapped in place. After a few attempts finally got it on and so far so good. Def worth the wait and money.

Is the back made mostly of silicone or hard plastic? Please tell me it doesn't stick to the inside of your pocket!

The back is mostly hard plastic. The only silicone will be at the headphone jack, power button, charging port, and the largest part is volume rocker. The plastic has a great design/look to it. You wont be disappointed. Should be getting some pics up a little later.

Is it just me or did we as consumers just completely breeze right past the day when cases went from 10 bucks to 35-50.
They are still the same damn case!
I know why. Phones are made thinner, lighter and more delicate......so they could sell us what they know we need.......something to make it BIGGER, THICKER and HARDER.
We are screwing ourselves........and paying someone to do it.

LMFAO, Slappy! You are too funny!
I, for one, am willing to pay a bit more for a good quality case. 18 months ago, I bought a very cheap silicone flappy-case for my very-soon-to-be-replaced Samsung Eternity (UPS is dropping my Infuse TODAY - woo hoo!). I remember taking off the silicone case after about one month of use to give the device a good ol' wipedown. I was super bummed to see that the sides of the phone were all scratched up FROM BEING IN THE CASE! This POS case had actually trapped dirt/dust between itself and the phone and proceeded to chafe itself silly!
So anyway, I'm going to get a solid, snug, and well made case for my new Infuse.
Having said that, any suggestions on brand and/or model? I am thinking Otterbox Commuter, but am open to anything...
I'm liking the casemate pop case.

Infuse Case
I went with a rubberized hard case, no name with screen protector included for $7 shipped on eBay. It looks quite similar to the CaseMate.
That should tide me over until the OtterBox commuter comes out.
I bought the CM Pop when I bought my phone. I just didnt like the feel and size so I exchanged it for the Body Glove case and I am very happy.

Uh the Body Glove Mirage case is black with diagonal lines. In my eyes/opinion it does not resemble actual (or imitation) carbon fiber in any way.

Otterbox Commuter non-slip plastic cover!

So, I bought an otterbox commuter off eBay. Due to the fact that I work with my hands all day long, they are dry and callused. So it made the commuter very hard for me to hold, it was like holding a wet bar of soap! So, I went to Lowes and bought some plasti-dip spray, sanded the plastic case and sprayed it. Now I have a nice non slip cover all around my phone!
Just thought I would share!
Thanks.

Lmao. I've velcro'd all sorts of **** for my car. that stuff rules.
Just embed a piece of velcro in the plastidip while its still wet. But don't ask me for a new phone when it fails and the phone drops.
Seriously, though, you could put a piece of masking tape on the bare case in the spot for the velcro, dip it, when its dry, remove tape and put the velcro on the bare spot.
I don't trust the adhesive they put on velcro, because when it gets hot, I've had it peel off.
I use the type that doesn't have adhesive on it (the kind you would sew on, normally) and use contact cement. That **** doesn't ever come off.
Oh yeah I have velcro on already on all four corners I got 2/3" squares and a 1 1/2" square in center. I simply put it on the case since day one and not one issue.

Is the commuter the soft gel skin over the hard plastic?

I believe you have the Defender. I love mine. No slippage for me, either. From what I have read, the Commuter is hard plastic over a soft skin.

Fixing to switch from the speck case to the Otterbox Commuter when fedex delivers it later today. I chose the one with slippage because that is what I want. I need this baby to slip in and out of my pocket with ease. I hate when it trys to pull my pocket out. The speck worked fine, but I want a true black case.

A good otterbox alternative is the rugged casemate case for the inspire. Got mine a while back. Very enjoyable.

I completely agree! I've had one on for a few days now and I think I'll stick with it a while. If you're thinking of a Commuter, try this first to compare.
With the Commuter the bottom flap didn't stay in place. The Defender makes the screen annoying, it kills sensitivity.
I've tried the Commuter, the Defender, the Barely There, and the Pop cases. Plus a few cheap skins haha.

I found a really nice case.

I bought two of these Aquaflex cases from Amazon, one black one white. Got both for only $9.35. They look really nice and offer the slimming fit of a plain rubber case, but the back piece is made of really tough material you can probably depend on if you drop your phone. The white case looks especially sexy on this phone. Just thought I'd share.

On the topic of this specific case, it's very nice. I got one from eBay for about 10 dollars total... black version, it has no problems and I've used it for over 6 months, survived a few drops without a scratch!
EDIT: Wait, does that one come with some kind of logo closer to the bottom, near the metal that you can see through from the phone? Mine doesn't...
I was having overheating issues with previous cases, so i will give this one a try.

I don't see a slot for the speaker on there. I know it's just a photoshopped mock up, so they could have just missed it, but all the other phone mock ups have cutouts for the speakers
Im in for one. Meaning the XDA case. Looks nice and it's only 10 bux. Kinda sucks that it's preorder though lol. But I like the style nonetheless.
Already ordered mine!
Really like the style.
That 4-6 weeks for shipping is a bummer though ):
Use code XDA for 10% off
Is it glossy or matte?
My only concern is. Is it going to lift the screen protector. I was so happy I finally got a case for my n4 but then noticed it started to give my screen protector air bubbles. EFF that!
