Accessories OTTERBOX Case Pics are up

I'm kinda angry with Otterbox dragging it's feet on these. I mean the iPhone 4 came out after the EVO and Otterbox cases are everywhere.

I know, I know, they are going after the one with the most demand and the one that will make them money. Got it, but it's still annoying.

Plus with insurance, I am most likely OK with my normal case.

We'll see...

I found the Seidio active case to be just as good as the commuter case that otterbox puts out. I would have loved to have an Otterbox case for my phone, but I couldn't see waiting at least 3 months for a case. They weren't even sure if they were going to make a case until enough people complained. I understand getting the IPhone4 out first, but are trying to tell me you have one team working on R and D? I think they should hire more people and sell more cases to pay those people. Amazing cases, but people don't want to wait forever to get them.

Jeez, I just got my Evo yesterday and already I'm getting impatient with OB... Then again I'm a cop, so every day I bring my phone unprotected to work is a day that it may not go home with me... lol thank God for insurance...

The black silicon case from sprint offers good protection from drops and it's only $12-15 ($12 for premier). When I picked up mine they told me I had 30 days to return it if I wanted. Might be an option if you think otterbox cases will be out in the next 30 days.

HTC EVO 4G Cases // OtterBox.com

At least we know what it will look like. When it's available....who knows?
Just caught a design flaw in the Defender series!

2 things.

First, let me say that the 'kickstand cover' is a little over the top and pointless IMO. But hey, if you're paying that much for the case, I guess they should cover every mm.

Second (the design flaw), there are a couple 'nubs' on either side of the back edge of the case (check the 2nd photo of defender). That nub is perfectly in the middle of the edge that lays on a surface of a table while using the kickstand. This will render the phone all-but stable while the kickstand is in use.:eek:

"Great case design takes time."
Oops!:eek:
