I've been to and called a number of Sprint stores (including a corporate store) and Radio Shacks and even a Best Buy and can't find the silicone cases. Most places didn't even have the phone yet. The only place I have found it is sprint.com and I refuse to spend $30 on two cases of which I will only use one. So do I basically have to keep calling Sprint stores until I find one that has them?

I've called about a dozen stores and still can't find the cases. They all said "soon" or "should have them next week". Ugg! I'm going to drop my phone I know it....

I bought my Hero the day it was released & there were no cases specifically for it. I had to settle for a generic case that Sprint had in the store. Luckily though, it wasn't long before companies starting making them specifically for the Hero. I have a Seidio case (seidioonline.com) for my Hero & I love it. I checked their website & they don't have one for the Optimus S YET. Hopefully soon but I'm totally with you in your fear of dropping your "naked" phone! :)

I ordered a Hero case from this website LG Optimus S LS670 cases Store - Fommy.com prior to my Seidio case. Great service, I just found a better case with Seidio. But they do have the jelly silicone cases & some other accessories for the Optimus S.

Thank you. I did see that one but they aren't shipping til the 30th and last time I ordered something from there that wasn't in stock I never got it! I'm good with Fommy. ;)

Some might think it ugly, but for me and the job I do, its the best out there at a good price. Working in law enforcement you need something that can take a hit or drop and spare the phone and the gel (silicone) ones just dont do it for me. Would love to find some more rugged cases, any suggestions?

Looks like some standard silicone cases have popped up in the last couple of days on ebay...

I think the OP-S looks pritty neat without the case, especially the Body being a good feel rubbery.

Rather a case how bout a skin?

the Sprint corp store yes 30 plus, no thank ou, you must buy two of the lowest price items and then the case you get 25%. adding that up it's tax free. no thank you.
I am a Primeir Customer as well. and even the CS on phone states only 2 items purchased not three, it's called a sales Pitch.

Oneday they'll again offer a bundle pkg. since we're handsfree, they left out the most importance a headset?
