Petition Otterbox to make a case for the Wildfire! - Wildfire Accessories

Hey guys,
I was going to get an Otterbox case for my Wildfire, but they didn't have any, nor was the Wildfire mentioned on the site. So I sent them an email. They got back to me with a canned response, saying:
Update for Case #205682 - "HTC Wildfire"
We do not have any information if a case will be made at this time for that device, but it is something that has been requested. I have put in a product suggestion on your behalf, and recommend keeping an eye on our website, as it will have the most up to date information on any new releases that we may have.
Thank you,
Schuyler Wessels

We should all send Otterbox a question about the Wildfire so we can get them to make cases for the Wildfire!

Nice, i prefer my phone naked though

I wish you luck but damn those cases are hideous.

I think they look pretty awesome.
I doubt the effectiveness of the casing when it falls on the screen =P

Wrapping the whole phone solve the problem

I was actually thinking about buying a Wildfire. The first thing I went looking for was an Ottterbox for it! I have one on my crappy blackberry curve and it survived being ran over by several cars! I don't care how ugly anyone thinks they are! Phones are expensive these days and I will protect my investment! I will be asking Otterbox for a case for this phone.

Bingo. I'm going to support the company that listens to its customers, and buy a Trident case... since they're producing the thing that Otterbox should be.
yo

Sweet, I'll be getting one.

I thought the same thing when I purchased my trident case, now 2 weeks later I am wishing I held out for an otterbox.
I feel like the case does not offer much protection for the amount of bulk it adds considering I had to remove the screen protector in order to be able to use the whole keyboard in portrait mode.
I will be buying an Otterbox when they come out.

Same here. The Trident case would be perfect if the screen protector was better. It scratches easily. I am going to remove the built in protectector and put one of my Realook protectors on.
As far as Otterbox...I'm disappointed that they waited so long to do this. Most of us have had the Vibrant since this summer. I have a Case-Mate & Trident. Now I'm wondering if I even need the otterbox (even though it DOES look sweet!).

Yea, I mean ... it's not a big deal that it has a small little hole for the FFC.
Also, if you look at the case for the Galaxy S and Vibrant, they look identical. Maybe because since it's not available yet they just used the same picture of the case to give us an idea of what it'll look like .

It looks as tho it may just be a separate screen protector they are talking about. Because in the pics they show of it , it doesn't appear to have on attached to the case itself
This is exactly what I need!..seeing as how I just dropped mine and cracked the screen :-(

Just purchased..will submit a review when it gets here some time next year...im currently using the body glove case...nice case..but i have dropped it twice and the whole thing fell apart, damaging the phone..whats the point of a case if it cant take damage? i wouldve much rather spend the 30 bux on something like this otterbox if it was available at the time..Cheers all!
This is fantastic been waiting months for this, cant wait to order mine!

Took less than 10 seconds to open a new tab, type "otterbox" into siad new tab's address bar, hit ctrl+enter, then select Samsung, and then Vibrant from their dropdown menu and view the item of your desire. I would have posted the link, but since this is only my 3rd post I am not allowed to. Have fun storming the castle!

Im after a thin case

I've searched ebay top to bottom for a thin as possible leather case but cant find 1.
i dont want the case to be bulky or to protect the whole phone, its simply to stop any dust and any scratches to the phone.
any ideas?
I am very happy with this guy.... received it yesterday.

Stilgut seems to sell by its own and ships to GB. I would suggest this one that's made of real leather:
http://www.stilgut.com/fuer-samsung-galaxy-note/exkl-ledertasche-ultraslim-f-galaxy-note-buchtyp.php But it has no stand function.
I don't know if you can find stilgut v1 anywhere to buy since they seem to have replaced v1 (real leather) with v2 (faux leather).
Anyways, many people seem to be happy with their stilgut v2 made of faux leather. But personally I don't like this material.
Edit: Great thing about stilgut cases is that they don't use magnets (which may interfere with your note / s-pen) to close the case. They use a pretty clever solution.

If i go ahead and buy this 1, do you think there would be any problems? or will it be simple as buy it, pay for it, give details and await delivery?

Of course I cannot promise anything since I have nothing to do with that company. But it's a confidential German manufactor from Berlin where many of my friends including myself bought cases for different devices and there was not one single problem so far. Very slim, great quality!
I have no stilgut case for my galaxy note, so I don't know the one I suggested you. But on the pictures it looks good.

If a pouch style is acceptable to you,I'm very happy with mine from Lucrin... a bit costly,but the leather is very high quality and I find the thin pouch very easy to slip in and out of any pocket. I also have one for my xoom. Just google Lucrin.
Ah, ok, in pouch style I can recommend this bag, which I own:
http://www.amazon.de/mumbi-Galaxy-N...D89I/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1337351242&sr=8-4
(maybe available in UK too, don't know.)
Great quality, real leather, perfect fit, very cheap.

Thanks - Great quality and choice of colours it seems..
would you mind posting pics of your case please? Can you please comment on practicality of the case - is it cumbersome to keep taking the phone out of the case everytime you want to use it or see who's calling?? does it offer much protection against a fall? cheers

Speck cases!

Not sure why I have yet to see anyone mention these on here, but on a whim I went to their site and saw they are selling 3 styles for our phone now. Back when I had my iphones (3gs and 4) these cases were always my favorite. Once I got my GSII, I didn't see them releasing anything for it and didn't like many of the other cases out there, so I just went commando.
I just ordered the black candy shell (for my white GS3) and will also be checking back to see if any other colors are released. I always felt they offered a great amount of protection (kept my iphone 4 safe MULTIPLE times from really bad drops) and not TOO much bulk (IE- not an otterbox).
Pixelskin HD (had this on my ip4 first, probably the most well constructed tpu style case out there)
http://www.speckproducts.com/smartphone-cases/samsung/pixelskin-hd-for-samsung-galaxy-s3.html
Fabshell (not my cup-o-tea )
http://www.speckproducts.com/fabshell-for-samsung-galaxy-s3.html
Candyshell (cannot wait to get mine)
http://www.speckproducts.com/candyshell-for-samsung-galaxy-s3.html
Once I get mine, I will post up a mini review. But judging from my past experience with them, I know I will love it.
Anyone else get them yet?
I'm planning on getting one of these (Candyshell), however, it appears they color I want isn't in stock yet. (Dark Grey). Apparently some AT&T stores have them in stock though.
I'm on Verizon, but may need to take a trip into AT&T and pick one up.
Somebody on Android Central posted pics of theirs and it is gorgeous. Looks perfect with the SG3.
My wife has the white/pink candyshell one on her Atrix 2 and when i took it off she ad some rusty looking stains on the corners of her phone.
I bought a grey Speck Candyshell from my local AT&T store for $35 while I waited for the cheaper slimmer cases I had ordered. It was a great fit, almost a tad too tight for my liking. But it was very solid, offered nice protection for the back/sides/rim-raised for the screen.
I just returned it as my other cases came, IMO the fit was a little too tight for me, and it added just a bit too much bulk for me, I like my cases barely there. Though I'm sure many will love it, this was just my feeling on it.

Perhaps makeup from her purse? I can't see any case causing something like that.
as the case...with any case (sorry, that just sounded weird), you should remove them from time to time and clean the phone still. Most people I know do not do this and then get all mad when there is dirt scratching the back of the phone. Completely ignoring the fact the case has been on for over a year.

I dont know possibly, she doesnt care about it so it doesnt bother me much. Thanks for the heads up though.
The Candyshell looks awesome, but does anyone know what the finish is like? I need something with a little bit of rubbery grip bcause this phone just wants to slide right out of my hands.

My wife's candyshell case doesn't feel rubbery/grippy, however it doesn't ever seem to slip out of her hands either.

Good point!
I had that happen with my DINC. Scratches from dirt and dust getting in. Was hoping that the Speck wouldn't do that as it's more enclosed and lined, but still..... I think I'll remember to do that from time to time.

I just looked at one at a store and the finish was too smooth for me. I need something with a little more grip. My search continues...
Just ordered the black/dark grey candyshell. All colors of the candyshell are available on their site with free shipping right now.
I ordered one of the candy shells yesterday. It should be here tomorrow. They also said that if enough people hit the feedback button link on the bottom of their main site and request the SmartFlex Card for the gs3, they will make it.
Smartflex for iPhone 4s link
I've already done the feedback so hopefully others will too.
Anyone have pics of their device with the Candyshell on?

That's the same color I ordered. All were available when I ordered and thought the bayou/pebble looked pretty good.
It's the soot/black in the pics above.....picked it up at the ATT store last week. Although a little off topic i also ordered the cruzer lite TPU clear case for $9 off [email protected] Bottomline, you get what you pay for in cases.....don't expect a $35 case for $9. The speck case is a quality product while i feel the other is not.

Rock cases for the nexus?

was browsing the internet earlier looking for a new case for the phone and came across this website. The cases look to be in good shape and if you can forgive all the typos (obviously from China) it sounds like they are decent quality. Has anyone used one before? I bought it off a third party unfortunately, so I don't know yet if I made a good decision but it was only twenty bucks so if it falls through i'm not out much. What do you think? http://rockphone.cn/en/products_det...5&id=1013&year=0&month=0&pmenuid=0&pbrandid=0

Not my type of case i dont see the point of having a flap in the way all the time. But thats just me!

Toasted Z3 Compact Wooden Cover. Let them know you want this! Z3 has one.

Greetings! I've been a lurker on these forums for a while now. So here's my first post.
Toast makes gorgeous wooden covers that cover all of the phone (other companies just cover the back). They recently made one for the Z3: toastmade.com/products/xperia-z3.html
I Just love the look, how it provides more protection than simple skins, and adds little bulk. So, I sent an email and received this:
"Thank you for your interest in Toasting the Z3 Compact. If there’s demand, we will Toast it. I’ve got you down on the request list, so you’ll be notified of any updates. FYI, we are Toasting the Z3v next week, so hopefully the Compact will follow suit."
I would have expected a Z3c before a Z3V. Anyways, Shoot them an email on their website and be vocal that there is a demand for this. I currently use a Ringke Fusion and a DevilCase, but overtime I started to get annoyed with the added bulk. Let them know! Thanks

Yeah, there is no wood cover out there like this on the market. You can even upload a picture and they will carve in the design on the back....but of course it's for extra money.
You can get wood back covers from Balolo.De, but they're not as nice as these, nor do they come in black. I sent an email to cs, too. I really want one of these now ^.^

Yeah, I've seen those. The big difference with toast are the wooden bumpers. That's what sets it apart from the other ones. It would be a missed opportunity for them if they don't make one for the Z3 compact. Anyways, thanks for sending an email and I hope others do as well!

I already have an aluminum bumper from Devilcase, so it's less of a difference to me, but I see your point.
I got a response btw:
Thank you for your interest in Toasting the Z3 Compact. *We’re working on getting one in here for design, so if you happen to be in the States and wouldn’t mind parting with yours for a week, we’ll get you hooked up with some free Toast!
I’ll let you know as soon as they’re available.

No, I don't work for them. I was reading through here and saw they needed a test phone so I offered to send mine in. I had no clue what to expect but I was very happy with how it turned out, and their customer service rep was great to talk to. I hope they don't mind me teasing on here before it is released!
god theyre so sexy!
Alright, here are a few more. I am not the best photographer, nor am I the best at keeping my hardware in tip top shape. The scratches on the screen have been there for a while.
I absolutely love that the red border shows through. I think this is a feature that Toast has made unique to the Z3 Compact, and I can honestly say that it makes all the difference in the world to me. I bought a red phone because I wanted a unique and colorful phone, this keeps it unique and colorful...but with wood on it. The toast cut out it something I specifically asked for and I am very pleased with the result.

That is damn sexy, and thank you so much for volunteering your Z3C! I can't wait for the official release! Do you mind if I make a thread about you and the Toast on the sonyxperia sub reddit? Also, was that applied on a naked Z3C or was it applied on top of a screen protector?

Go right ahead, and if you could provide a link for me that would be great. The phone was completely naked, no screen protector.

And thanks again for making it possible. This will make a lot of Z3C owners happy since our options are really limited in terms of cases and skins. The Toast Z3C is looking to be a best of both worlds.

You got on that very quick! I'm glad to help.
Does this provide protection from drops, etc, like a bumper, or is this just a beefed up skin?

It's like a middle ground between a case and a vinyl. Its either real wood veneer or bamboo. The parts are stuck on with some adhesive that leaves no residue.
"We laser cut our covers from real wood veneers and top-grain leather paired with a high quality 3M adhesive that adheres directly to your device. This allows you to add protection, grip and gorgeousness to your gadget while retaining its sleek profile (the average thickness of our covers is .9 mm: that’s 1/32nd of an inch!)."

To each his own.
My last phone broke in a TPU case with, what I thought was, good protection. I watched another guy's phone break in an otterbox, and iPhones bend in a number of cases. I came to the conclusion that the best protection for my devices was a sacrificial glass screen protector, back skin, and either a bumper or bumper skin. My reason for this combo is that the back and sides only really need scratch protection and the front can be cracked even with a case that provides a lip. The Z3C definitely benefits from anything that provides better traction on the back, too.
I know you didn't ask for the explanation, but I thought it would be worth mentioning for anyone who might be curious.
