Thats a hell of a deal for anyone thats held out.

jwm2 · April 6th, 2010, 04:58 PM

Nice case, however i still like my seidio innocase alittle better. Plus you can get a belt clip from seidio thats kinda nice when you are using it as an mp3 player.

I have always looked at otter box for all my phones but never wanted to drop the cash for it. No sense when i upgrade once a year.

Could not pass it up this time still cheaper than zagg protection.

I carry my phone in pocket any way..

Hard to turn down for the price either one. They r just as cheap and well made as those at the local retailers.

dirtmouth · April 6th, 2010, 07:44 PM

irod87 · April 6th, 2010, 07:57 PM

Nice find, I had been wanting one of these.

Sk0t24 · April 6th, 2010, 08:03 PM

Looks like a great deal, I may have to jump on it.

MolonLabe · April 6th, 2010, 08:10 PM

Get the commuter case.
The impact is a great case but it disables the proximity sensor and also covers the small reddish circle thats hard to see below and to the right of the proximity sensor.
I'm guessing that is an antenna of some sort.
After installing the case my battery drained in 3-4 hours when I usually get a day to a day and a half easy. I also tried it on two other ERIS phones with the same results.
Otterbox claims they have had no complaints of this, I find that hard to believe because there are several threads here alone that refer to this same problem.
I returned it and bought the commuter case.

Saltedpeanut · April 6th, 2010, 08:21 PM

Gah, I couldn't resist.

Flickted · April 6th, 2010, 08:38 PM

MolonLabe I went with commuter... I am hell on phones I drop them and seems like every time it falls i take a step and kick across parking lot or something.

n2imagination · April 6th, 2010, 09:33 PM

Got this case a while back after a drop to the parking lot scared the s##t out of me. I love it. It feels incredibly solid and have had 2 drops since then and did not worry a bit about the phone. Here is a pic of the difference in my naked eris and with the case.

Thedarksunlight · April 6th, 2010, 10:35 PM

DAMN!!... I bought the impact case on sunday because I couldn't find the commuter case on newegg.

Anyways thanks to this board I found it and just purchased it and made a profile on here cause this site is awesome. very informative for us eris users. I just got mine from amazon wireless and just have to activate it.

Anyways considering I will be getting the impact and commuter case I am just gonna open both and make a comparison thing for all of u

$38 bucks for both but eh it will be worth it if I drop it and I am skeptical about returning things back to online stores.

Flickted · April 6th, 2010, 10:39 PM

thanks for the picture. I was curious about difference.

They sell all day on ebay for the same price. brand new in the box and still covered under otterbox warranty.

Yep, you are right but most don't include shipping and have 30 day return policy. Do not forget a lot of people do not use ebay.

Thanks for bringing that to our attention though.

Flickted · April 7th, 2010, 10:11 AM

Shipped this morning will have Friday, cant wait!

Why do you like the innocase better?

I have been looking at buying the Innocase II vs. Otter Box Commuter. I really do not want to add much bulk. Which is thinner? Seidio says the Innocase II is 1 mm thin and it does not list weight. Otter Box says the Commuter weighs 1 oz. but does not specify how thin it is. Anyone know how much the Innocase weighs and how thin the Commuter is?

Thanks!

Caddyman · April 7th, 2010, 10:48 AM

i would say the innocase is thinner and lighter then the otterbox

Flickted · April 9th, 2010, 05:00 PM

Received my otter box today and I like it. The screen protector is nothing to write home about but to me it was a free. The phone is no thicker than my previous Blackberry curve 8330 with the box on. I like the feel even though people say it feels plastic compared to the rubbery feel of the phone itself. I feel like I have a far better grip on the phone. I like the fact that the volume buttons are shielded with rubber and that all the ports have covers.

Hagbard57 · April 10th, 2010, 01:01 AM

Ordered my Commuter case about 5 minutes ago. Hell of a price and seeing has how I am using the Verizon clear case right now with no screen protector I am really looking forward to seeing how well this case works.

Thanks so much for the tip.

dirtmouth · April 10th, 2010, 08:54 AM

Same with me and i got mine on the 13th. Check the tracking stuff and see if its held up anywhere.

Hagbard57 · April 16th, 2010, 12:13 AM

Got my commuter case today and I love it. I previously had a clear Verizon snap on case and it was showing scratches like crazy. I love both the feel of the case and it has a good weight to it. Highly recommend this especially at this price.

Didn't use the screen protector btw, didn't feel like I needed it and the feedback on that part of the case isn't very good.

n2imagination · April 16th, 2010, 12:35 AM

BTW O-box if you are listening...how about some color variations on the outer plastic shell bit. I fully expected that from the get go.
