I work at an AT&T in Ohio and we're getting Otterbox Commuter Cases for the e970 very soon. They're in stock at our distribution center just waiting for them to come to stores!
EDIT: bad news, we got the cases and they are definitely for sprint and we were instructed to send them back. Someone's in trouble -_-
Sent from my LG-E970
Hopefully we'll see Defender cases as well. Thanks for the info!
Thank you for the update. Too bad I just ordered a diztronic but I'll buy an otter box when that one wears out.

So, has anyone actually seen this advertised or available in public yet?
After dealing with Otterbox customer service I'd much rather have a Diztronic :laugh: I'm sure this will make a few people happy tho, so I'm happy for them.
They've had Otterbox commuters in black AND pink for the Sprint variant for a looong time now.

Right, but considering the AT&T OG is larger than the Sprint version, meaning the cases won't fit each other, this is news.
Contacted otterbox and they said they have no plans to make such a case. So either otterbox or the op is full of it.

I contacted Otterbox before the Commuter for the OG was available to purchase, and the two CSRs that I talked to had no idea for which phone it's for (Sprint, AT&T, etc).

Not full of it actually. I was informed that the company ordered 800 of the sprint version and any stores that received them had to ship them back immediately.

Yeah - Looking for decent cases for it has been an adventure, to say the least. Especially for folks like me who really need a good solid protective one.
Talkin tap from dis here brainy fone
Diztronic FTW! My friend is ditching the otterbox for her HTC One X for a Diztronic case after seeing mine on my LGOG
I'm liking the diz case but for those who need superior protection or line of work requires lots of movement I move a lot of furniture a otterrbox is ideal. I got the best buy warranty so really if the front irc back breaks I'm going to get it replaced but for those who didn't get the warranty an letterbox is the best bet.

OP, update your first post//thread title so people don't get confused.
Just got this case in http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=290842834812&index=2&nav=SEARCH&nid=75614241091 fits perfectly.
Looks like it'll be a good alternative to the Otterbox for those that work outside.
I can post pics if requested once I get a chance.

I'm just curious whether we can expect a defender series for our device or the international version. The Skyrocket has been on the market less than both devices and already has 3 series of cases in multiple colors. Sort of clear who gets all the accessory love at this point.

I think someone on here asked Otterbox (use search) and they "do not have current plans" to make a Defender for the SII or something like that.
I bought a Seidio Active with holster. Seidio basically said the same thing and do not have any plans on making a Convert for the SII.
Sounds like the Ballistic case is your best bet (see below). I like the way the Otterboxes look though but only the Defender comes with a holster.

I would too. I personally don't mind the extra size at all. My Inspire 4G survived a motorcycle crash thanks to a defender case with no damage to the phone and just some scuffs to the silicon on the case. Took a spill between 30-40 with the phone in my pocket.

They taking preorder of Otterbox Defender for Galaxy Note for 39.99 instead of 59.99 at the official Otterbox online retail. Expect arrival date will be April 20, 2012 as stated in the website.

UPDATED (4/9/2012)
I just forgot about the physical button on the international Note. AT&T Note don't have one, but 4 touch button. The link above designed for the International N7000 only. Sorry, my bad!
I think they will going to release one for the AT&T Note the same day as International version.

There is no design difference between those 2. It still the same. The only difference is the processor. I don't think Otterbox going to break it down into 2 separate Note case. And beside, I have a Reiko case (which is close to otterbox quality) which is designed for N7000 and it fit just fine with the I717

If you look at picture "4" on "Myvoicecomm.com" for the "Galaxy Note Otterbox Defender Case"
myvoicecomm.com/cell-phone-mobile-device-accessory/170204/
(sorry a noob..cannot post links yet).
The screen protector has no cut out for the International version's home button. However, this seems to be the same model number: SAM2-N7000-20-E4OTR , posted on mobilecity. It could be possible that Otterbox might be using the same case for the International and AT&T version.
I hope it becomes available soon....I using the fake Otterbox from Amazon
For me, the silicon is just too slippery..and the buttons built in the silicon are way too small. Feels cheap...at least in my opinion.

Amazon started listing the Kracken:
amazon.com/gp/product/B0077IQD7M/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER
As much as like the design, I need the built in screen protector that is going to be offered from the Otterbox Defender. Wish they did that with the Dell Streak 5.
I cannot put a screen protector on without going through at least one...and I still have a bubble or two.
Looks like it is never going to come out. MyVoiceComm changed ETA again for may 4: http://www.myvoicecomm.com/cell-phone-mobile-device-accessory/170204/

There is a chance it may come with a screen for both models. My Commuter came with 2 screen protectors, 1 for each version.
Just ordered my defender and got free FedEx ground shipping
Alright ladies and gents...here it is: the Otterbox Defender for the Galaxy Note!
It's big, but it's sturdy. You can see from one of the pictures that besides the two larger snap-locks, there are 8 other smaller locks around the device. The rubber isn't super-grippy, but it has a good feel. You can also see that the entire front is covered with the built-in screen protector!
If anybody wants more pictures, just let me know!

I pre-ordered mine when I got the email from them on 4 May saying that pre-orders have begun. I wasn't expecting anything to ship until the 16th, but I got the notification 2 days ago that my card was charged and that the case was shipping.
I guess I lucked out!
Otterbox has the defender case in stock. They just have not updated their website, 5 days later
do you work in their warehouse and know what their inventory is?
thanks
No and no. I just called customer service and talked to a couple of reps. They stated the defender has been in stock as early as May 5th but the webmaster is obviously not on his/her job. If i was sales director at otterbox, i would not be pleased.
Edit. I just checked otterbox's website and it has been updated to in stock now.
thanks man, maybe they have someone trolling this forum undercover!!

so, anyone who got this case already, how is the screen shield look? Otterbox has had issues with other phone models where the screen protector made an "oily" type residue on the phone screen...Plus, I have one of those expensive Moshi Screen protectors on the Note now, and it would be nice to leave it on there, since its absolutely smudge free, and crystal clear..

I couldn't find them anywhere. I was searching for the last 2 days. I ended up trying out the Defender since I couldn't find it. I must say, I'm liking it so far. Not as big as I thought it would be.

I ordered on ebay Sunday and got the case today...very nice for $23 shipped I'm happy.
Interested in having a bumper case, sort of like what the iphones have. Reason being, the amaze is super chunky in a case, and it takes away from the beauty . Anyone have any experience making one? I am thinking of maybe trying it with one of the rubber cases that I have.

T-mobile has two 30% off specials on accessories, I believe the D30 bump case is $25 or so before discount.
I got a D30 band earlier this week. It was discounted down to 14.99 because they no longer carry the Amaze in the store. Hope that helps.
