Hmmm just got my receipt and tracking number in my e-mail...guess we'll see.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] s4pat:
i agree, the volume buttons do suck a little. my power button nub had some excess on it. i noticed it after i put the case on and the power button was constantly being depressed. i took a file and smoothed the nub for the power button flat. it feels great now.

as for the size, i like it. i'm just happy to have a holster again. ill deal with the volume buttons for now and exchange it for a new one at the sprint store when they get some it stock.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mtbush:
I ended up returning the Defender and grabbing the Body Glove Dimension case. The Sprint rep & I looked at 4 other units which all the same exact problem with the volume buttons (the nubs are clearly not long enough to make contact with the volume rocker). After he spoke to his manager he ended up pulling all of them off the floor, I guess they'll end up returning them to Otterbox.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] s4pat:
another thing that is really starting to annoy me is the flex in the screen protector. you can hear it hit the screen every time you tap. guess i'll be using swiftkey flo more to lessen the annoyance. none of my previous otterbox defender cases had this problem. i am not removing the screen protector b/c it helps protect my phone from the occasional kid mess. i'll eventually exchange it for a new one when my store gets them in stock.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] shook187:
I wouldn't say you could hear it but you definitely feel it hitting the screen. Doesn't really bother me.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] CLTnik:
Would it help having another screen protector ? I know you could fit a defender on an iphone 4 with the screen protector without any issues. Anyone tried that? Does it affect screen sensitivity?

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] shook187:
You mean a screen protector under the the screen protector? Or just take out the Otterbox screen protector and use your own?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] s4pat:
i had a MobC screen protector on it with the samsung TPU case and i just left the Mob C protector on it (i always used a protector film under the otterbox defender screen protector just to prevent scratches from trapped dust on my 3 previous Evo's). screen works just fine with both of them on the Note 2 as well.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mastergrim8:
can anyone else confirm this?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] shook187:
Yep volume sucks cause of what he said.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] CLTnik:
Yes a screen peotector under the defender screen protector so essentially

you have two screen protectors.

Post under yours confirms it works.

I found a cheap solution for this issue. What I did was use some 3M stick tape (the stuff thats basically 2 sided tape but is Styrofoam) I cut a piece long enoug to cover the volume up and down on the inside of the rubber. I took the paper off that side so that it would stick but left the paper on the side that would make contact with the buttons. Put the case back on the phone and the volume buttons work effortlessly as the power button.

Nothing fancy but it fixes the problem.

Premium cases shouldn't need ghetto fixes.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] shook187:
I agree, but with Otterbox great customer service I'm sure once they revive the outer silicone layer they'll have no problem sending us a new one. In the mean time I'm going to give this ghetto fix a try.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mexiking713:
True. You guys that have the case should all contact otterbox so they can be aware of the issue and correct it. Im sure once they fix the problem they will be more than happy to send out replacements.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] bignibb:
I agree that premium cases shouldn't need to be "rigged" to work but I'd rather utilize this almost free for some/ free for me fix. I think that we should notify Otterbox of the issue but for now this works flawlessly and I have the protection that Otterbox is famous for. This fix isnt visible and I have removed the case since its install and it is still in place.

Sent from the best phone on the planet, Apple take Note............
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] shook187:
I did the fix too but all I did was rolled up some electric tape and waged it between the hard case and it works flawlessly and feels like butter :D
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] P1 Wookie:
Otterbox's customer service is great from what I've heard and read, so I'm sure if it gets back to them they will make it right.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] IamPro:
You gonna ask for a refund, solution or new case?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] P1 Wookie:
I haven't even got mine yet. The color I want still isn't available.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] MBM7881:
I got mine...so far I love the case. Sure it makes the phone look twice as big but I don't care about that since my phone is protected. However I did notice one thing that has never been an issue with my other phones in otterbox defenders. But is anyone who left the built in screen protector on having trouble with the keyboard? I'm skipping keys when I type. Didn't happen till I put the case on. I'll deal with it cuz I like the screen protector...just curious
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] CLTnik:

Case looks great but I think I want the commuter just bcz of the built in screen protectoe on defender. I think it diminishes quakity if screen big time. Just wish there is a holster for it.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] shook187:
Most people remove the built in screen protector. I personally leave mine on.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] P1 Wookie:
You can take the screen protector out. It's only glued in.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] CLTnik:
Wont that ruin the case? Hate to pay 60 for the case then ruin it. Also will this void the warranty with otterbox?

Sent from My Note 2
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] P1 Wookie:
It does not ruin the case. I've done so with 3 phones now. They've replaced people's cases that have LOST their case completely, so I think you'll be fine on the warranty. It's not like the screen protector has anything to do with the structural integrity. They don't replace your phone if it gets damaged, only the case if the case gets damaged.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] P1 Wookie:
Woohoo my knight color defender shipped last night! Supposed to be here by next Tuesday. Damn them being all the way on the other side of the country. lol
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] xXJay_RXx:
After seeing that video I was torn between the commuter and defender. I think I'm set on the defender :)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] smhtc:
I ordered the commuter on 4th from otterbox site when it was in stock. But next day it went out of stock, and its still out of stock.

Any idea when it'll be shipped?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] P1 Wookie:
You should probably ask them. Lol.

I actually have 2 defenders and both have the same issue with the volume buttons, I "chatted" with customer service and told them about the buttons and they said they were not aware of any issues and that they would advise the team... hopefully this will get the ball rolling if someone has not already started the process... other then the button issue im pretty much happy with it... will install my zagg protector under the case when i get around to it...
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] MattPhillips:
Where is everyone getting their Otterbox Defender's from for their Note 2? I ordered mine from the AT&T wireless store on 11/30/2012 and it still hasn't been shipped out yet. The only reason I am not canceling and getting it elsewhere quicker is because I get 40% off accessories at AT&T.

Anyone else order from AT&T?

I have to pick one up!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] clovis_ll:
same here.. getting it on thursday! woot!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] elite-fusion:
got mine yesterday, love the case...it is a tad bit big, but the more protection u want, the bigger it will be so i dont mind this. the screen protector thats built into the case is not the best as it sort of pops out. I have a screen protector on the phone already but since I used this on the iPhones before, the GN2 version of the defender, the screen protect is not completely flat on the screen, so I am thinking of popping it out.

I got the Knight version of it which i do like alot :)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] clovis_ll:
ugh how did you get the knight version?? it says on their site its "coming soon"!!

now im jealous! :'( i got the white one...
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] elite-fusion:
I just got my Knight version yesterday, I love the case, but the buttons do suck....I wish the volume buttons were a bit more sensitive and the power button a bit less sensitive :(

---------- Post added at 10:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:40 PM ----------

the F5 trick that i posted a few posts back....thats how :) select the Knight version, once its selected keep refereshing the page a few time until u are able to click on Add to Cart button and then just check out :)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] clovis_ll:
oh gotcha.. cant wait for mine!!! thanks for the pictures!! i am definitely jealous and excited on mine
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Realm11984:
I got mine in the mail yesterday.....took it to work today and someone made a joke saying, "check out the new nook mini" Lol! He had an iphone and i had plenty of trash to talk about his phone.

I got the knight color and love it by the way! Ironically i dropped my phone for the first time today...thank goodness for my defender case! :D
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] emorphien:
I got my black Defender case today and found the same thing. I sent them some feedback on the website and they gave me an RMA for it. I doubt it's a defect with mine though and I don't really want to replace it.

The volume buttons aren't bad but they are a bit insensitive. If I could tone the power button's sensitivity down (maybe by trimming the rubber on the inside of the case) it would be fine with me to keep using it.

Edit: just trimmed off maybe a millimeter from the power button rubber nib with some scissors (I expected it to be squishier and more difficult but it was quite easy) and it's much better. I'm more than happy to just keep using it, I don't actually want the buttons to be too sensitive (I was always bumping the power button on the phone without a case on it).

Hi guys,

I'm interested to buy this cover case, but only I will use in the weekend on mountains trekking, It's easy to disarm and arm every time, or its case is think to mount one time?

thanks!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] jlczl:
Easy to dismantle. Do it several times a week when I switch to my slim case.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] IamPro:
Its made out of concrete so its impossible to undo... seriously its only 2 pieces that takes like 5secs to put on or take off
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] smhtc:
Just got email that my Commuter has shipped!! Yay :)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Tomo1971:
Will stripping the case off the phone often not damage it...especially the plastic clips that hold the two inner pieces together?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] 00mred00:
no not really

WAY to bulky for meh....just order 5 cases off sw-box.com for 2-5 dollars each! Looks great i cant wait till they come!

Cool story bro
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] nikki1114:
i ordered the otterbox defender (glacier) last friday directly from the otterbox website, and until now, it still hasn't shipped and my order is still being processed.

to those who ordered directly from the otterbox website, how long did it took until you got an email saying it shipped? and how long did it take until you guys received it? just asking because i'm getting real impatient i guess and real paranoid especially because i'm working out in the field lol. i really don't want my phone to be destroyed less than a month after i got it.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] MattPhillips:
I ordered mine in the evening on December 11th and it shipped out in the morning on December 12th. I ordered the glacier color also.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] IamPro:
2 days is what my orders have taken, I would email them and ask wtf
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] bmoreboy02:
I ordered a glacier but a guy i work with ordered one for free!!!! Called up otterbox said his case cracked and that was it. They sent em a brand new one. Didnt ask for pictures or anything!!!!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Brad.S.:
They normally dont do that. I've always needed to supply proof. They are located here in Fort Collins, CO. Someone must have been having a good day (or a bad one and didn't want to deal with a customer)

However, if they do see that you're in their system, and the case is >6months old, they will replace it for free. No matter the problem. I've replaced many. Its nice to have a fresh case every so often.. And even better because it justifies the high initial cost to buy one. But i've always needed to provide proof.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] nikki1114:
thanks you guys for the replies, but guess what? they just e-mailed me a few minutes ago saying that they've shipped it lol... but still it shouldn't take almost a week to ship it, right? especially when last friday was the second day they put the defender's status as "in stock"... :/

i think someone who works in otterbox read my post lol
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] P1 Wookie:
There's always a chance they had a higher demand than expected. But at least it's on the way now. Better late than never. If ever you have problems with Otterbox just contact them. They have great customer service.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Brad.S.:
I completely agree with this ^^

Most of those guys grew up in Fort Collins and LOVE being there.

They are very very helpful.

I ordered a replacement for my gf's iphone 4 on Monday and havent received shipping notification yet.

They must be backed up pretty bad.. New phones/holidays/Black Friday...

The CSR mentioned that they have production lines in China, Mexico, etc

So depending on where your case is being shipped from, it may take longer. For myself, it's worth the wait..
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] clovis_ll:
I ordered mine on Sunday and I got it today (Thursday) the glacier one.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] diego1985:
I didn't get a shipping email. Just kept saying processing. I called them, and the lady gave me a tracking number. I see it's in transit and should be here by the 19th. Just weird I didn't get a email though.

I ordered mine on the night of the 7th, it shipped the 8th (Saturday) and I got it on the second business day (Tuesday the 11th).

Things happen. I'm in the shipping and receiving business so never know what might happen. Computer system go down and can't process orders properly, etc. At least it's on the way though. That's all that matters

You can find them as of now from the Otterbox site for sure.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] DocEsq:
Picked up my Defender at the Sprint Store on E87th St in Manhattan. They only have black as of yesterday. Using the corporate discount I got 20% off and only paid $49.37 before tax. At that price how could I refuse to buy.

I have replaced my Ionic Guardian Case with the Defender and have included a couple of photos of how the 2 cases compare along with the Amzer case that I had originally bought (Amzer was the only one available originally).

Using the Otterbox I immediately noticed that it was bigger in my hand. It still fits easily in my pocket so the size is not an issue for me.

As others have mentioned, the sound control is very difficult to push, especially with one hand. On the other hand the power button is too easy to push and I find that it is being pressed accidentally very often.

The built in screen protector is very nice and my touches/swipes are recognized by the phone. However, in certain areas you can feel that the screen protector is not in full contact with screen of the phone. This is not such a big deal for me as I had experienced before when I had a Defender for the Iphone 3G and got used to it very quickly. For someone else though this may be an issue.

Between the issue with the volume and power buttons, I may return this case even though the it offers great protection and feels good in my hand.

I will probably go back to the Ionic as there is minimal difference between it and the Commuter. I just will need to find a good screen protector that will not get pushed up on the edges due to the case.

I hope this post helped at least one person

Doc
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] meatlocker:
My Defender arrived today, and I have no issues whatsoever with the volume buttons. None. Either they corrected the issue by the time mine got to me, or...it really isn't an issue. In any event, Otterbox was amazing to me. I managed to get a Knight ordered but it just sat there, not being shipped (because I wasn't supposed to have been able to order one yet). I called to find out where it was, they apologized profusely, and overnighted me a black one for my trouble. Not an hour later, I get a message from the customer service agent I was speaking with, saying that the Knight one was going out later that day, and that I would be receiving both for the price of my original order. Awe.Some.

The case itself is the best that you can get, hands down. The built in screen protector came out very easily with no fuss and no mess. I have a screen protector already on mine, so it is now perfect.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] elite-fusion:
two for the price of one....WTF lol lucky you! i wish i could get that haha
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] JustinSaneV2:
Anyone happen to know how long it usually takes Otterbox to put their cases on Amazon? I have about $30 in credit I need to burn...
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Wakeupproject:
maybee the best one

I had a lot of cases, but my bag I find the best, because it is light, the height of the edges are not so high that the scroll to left and right makes more fun.

Use the number above (taken directly from their site) to call them

They are really helpful. & They are really the only source that can truly cross reference the code, or the SKU from the box to tell you if it is authentic.

From the testing status, I'll take your word for it! :)
[RAZR i General] metamata:
Still so long?
[RAZR i General] :
I don't care that it takes so long but I do care that it takes so long for a leak to spread :( I mean, the Razr M and the Razr HD both got leaks but we didn't yet :( I wanna test a leak!
[RAZR i General] iammodo:
This phone will fly with jelly bean so much faster then my gnex already.
[RAZR i General] CentaXx:
The Razr HD will receive JB next week. I would want to know why the razr i seems neglected.
[RAZR i General] lohho:
I suppose that's because of the Intel architecture.
[RAZR i General] :
I suppose it's because it's less aggresevily marketed then the Razr M and HD so they don't have to speed things up. Either that or Verizon pays a lot to Motorola to speed things up for the M and HD.
[RAZR i General] iammodo:
London underground has hundreds of posters for this phone so advertising in the uk aggressive. Intel have to port the android sdk to x86 then test then release. Also hope they are working on 4.1.2 not 4.2 as that sucks and inbuilt toggles are a joke
[RAZR i General] Le_Poilu:
This is done since a long time for android 4.1.x

Intel released the x86 stuff for android 4.1 in septembre.
[RAZR i General] :
First of all: like above poster said, Intel already finished porting 4.1.2 right about when the Razr i hit the market. Second of all: UK is not even half as big as USA and outside of the UK there is not that much advertising. So yes, I think it definitely has to do with gigantous advertising of the Razr M and HD in the USA.
[RAZR i General] Le_Poilu:
There was a big campaign (street and TV adds) here in France when the Razr i can to the market through the operator SFR.

But it last only 1 or 2 weeks :p

Now the Razr HD is more pushed by the advertisers.
[RAZR i General] milesg:
It it very much not in Intel's interests to be seen as the laggard when it comes to Android updates.

If they want to break into the Android handset market in a big way, surely that will be difficult if people perceive that Intel inside = old Android version outside?

Motorola have a poor track record at getting out Android updates, but seem to be pulling their socks up. If Intel stumble and fail to deliver updates for what is only their second Android handset, it would likely have bad consequences.
[RAZR i General] :
Again: Intel already has 4.1 out for more than 4 weeks now. It's just Motorola that has to build it for our phone including their own changes. And Intel is currently porting over 4.2 to their arch so they are taking it seriously.

And don't get me started on the fact that Samsung just released a new phone with ICS even though 4.1 and 4.2 are already out.
[RAZR i General] CentaXx:
Does anyone think that the RAZR i will get 4.2?
[RAZR i General] dinomovil11:
maybe because its a new phone, and others motorolas get 2 updates(razr gingerbread-ics-now jelly bean and the moto zoom the same)
[RAZR i General] kourkoubas:
4.2 is pretty much the same as 4.1 . Some extra features (like the panorama camera) cant work in our phone but i believe that finally we ll have a 4.2 firmware (in about 3-4 months)
