Looking for an Otterbox type or other rugged, protective case and according to Otterbox they have no plans to make one for the 2014 model. Anyone know of something available. I need something a bit more protective for taking on my job sites.
Thanks,
John

I am looking for a rugged case for my GSII. I recently got the otterbox commuter case. I love otterbox but was a little disappointed when they did not release the defender case for the device. Has anyone run across a rugged case for the GSII? I tried the Case-mate tough case but honestly feel like the otterbox commuter has better protection. Thanks in advance for any leads!

I heard somewhere that they are bringing out the defender case soon. This seems to be ok I guess.

i use this one... pretty good case!
I got the casemate tough case. Seems good to me.
There are a couple threads on this already. I just posted replies to two of them regarding the same question.
My answer was metal case. find taurus / sweet armor / akiba slider for galaxy s2.
If you're looking to protect the back as well perhaps the two layer plastic cases may work? or frosted matte TPU/silicon cases are pretty good too as they are very form fitting (no gaps like old silicon case)
Using the casemate tough now for one month. On-screen i got the martin fields protectors.
Case gets 10/10 stars for my purposes. Phones been dropped couple of times now without damage!
Can strongly recommend the casemate tough!
greets
You could try OTTERBOX, and have a look to this thread and ask your qustion ;-)

I was wondering if anyone could recommend a heavy duty case for me? I'm an electrician, and the case has to be durable because i work on construction sites. Otterbox doesn't make the Defender series for this phone unfortunately so i'm looking for an alternative thats just as rugged.
i can recommend to you Incipio ngp case
is made of hard rubber and cover the entire edge of the phone
certainly protects the phone very well, but i will change it because it's too big .... i think that is right for you!

I disagree, do not use this, I does not sound like it would suit your needs.
There is the Ballistic Case, http://www.goballisticcase.com/products/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-sgh-i9100-ballistic-shell-gel-sg-series-case. My friend had one for a phone of his, and they are certainly big and beefy.
There is the Case-Mate Tough, http://www.case-mate.com/Samsung-Galaxy-S-II-Cases-International/Case-Mate-Samsung-Galaxy-S-II-International-Version-Tough-Cases.asp. I have one and I like it, it may be enough for what you are looking for.
There is also the Trident Kraken, http://www.tridentcase.com/case/samsung/samsung-galaxy/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-kraken-ams-case.html. It looks to be one tough mother.
Those are some of the more widely known, very protective cases. There may be more, but those are probably the most recommended.

I would be inclined to go with the Kraken. I recently purchased it's weaker sibling, the Aegis case, from Shop4USB via Amazon Uk (£24.33) .... Utterly stunning and oh so protective.
Looks like the Kraken retails for about £35 online
This youtube vid compares the Kraken and the Otterbox Defender quite nicely
Awesome! I will look into the suggestions, i appreciate the help!
Hello everyone I have noticed a lot of posts in the accessory section about cases and im kind of leaning toward diztronic since there isnt any dual protections cases yet. love the incipio dualpro cases because they offer a rubber inside with a hard shell outside but not with the added disadvantage of being humongous like the otterboxes. Is there any that you guys know of or that you have seen yet? I also would like this because these types of cases are way better fit wise when a screen protector has already been applied to the phone. Incipio currently does not have any cases made for the N5 so far unfortunately .

and for under $6? cheap cheap. I actually had this "superlegga" case for my evo 3d and I liked it alot for protection... Ditched it though because it was so bulky.
Hopefully this one will be slimmer.
Man there are so many options, I just ordered the cheapest (available now) one I could find and will order a better later after all the reviews are out

Anyone recommend any good cases to protect my phone? Currently searching for one but want to know what other people have in mind for them.

been using ballistic case for 3 years, still perfect
case
S-line case are cheap and good; Add a screen protector for shatter proofing purposes and the phone is well protected. Hope that helps. Sincerely, Jahman
Ballistic is a pretty good choice but I've had better handling with the Bodyglove Toughsuit:
http://www.bodyglovemobile.com/cell...laxy-s2/toughsuit-with-holster/?scheme_id=215
Also, it lacks the huge corners that the Ballistic has, making it easier to wrap your hand around it and hell, it comes with a belt holster so it's technically an Otterbox Defender case without the bland look and high price.
I love the idea of minimal cases and whatnot but I at times need rugged tough protection.
Has anyone come across any rugged style protection for the One?
Thanks.

Nothing, nada, zilch.
Hopefully soon. No name Chinese cases usually pop up first. Hybrid, rugged or tough are search terms I'm using.

Yeah I've looked all over. Tpu is the toughest it gets right now. Not too mention hardly any are shipping at a decent speed. A lot of which I've seen can take about week's time or more.

I would love something from Ballistic or something waterproof.
I ordered an aluminum bumper from aliexpress for about $8. I also have a Nillkin glass screen protector ordered.
Been also looking for something more rugged even though I dont have the phone yet. Even the no name brands haven't come up with one till now :banghead:.
I'm just going with a cheap clear snapon from ebay for now until to hold me over till something more protective comes along
Still no sign of a rugged case yet?

These two cases might be the closest to rugged you're going to get in awhile until someone makes one.

I've searched here and the oneplus forums and obviously around ebay/amazon. I bought a diztronic tpu case to hold me over but looking to buy a otterbox like case as soon as they hit the market.

That may take a while. There hasn't even been any cheap Chinese knockoffs rugged cases made yet!
This is probably the best we get right now....

I bought both Tudia and Diztronic and kept the Tudia, I returned the Diztronic it just didn't feel right in the hands.
I hope one of these companies who make rugged cases do one for the OPO. I wouldn't mind some sort of rugged case. I typically use a very thin case however there are times where I would like the added protection.
i don't understand how you could count the tudia as a rugged case? looks like a normal tpu case!

It's the most rugged you're going to get right now. It is thicker than the cruzerlite.
I have both the tudia and the cruzerlite. They both seem to offer the same amount of protection, but the tudia seems more slippery in the hand.

The fact that I'm not even seeing no-name cases like this:

is bugging me to no end! Even this is better than a TPU case and with the number of these in the Chinese market alone you'd figure SOMEONE could slap one together!

I'd buy that case in a heart beat! Yea, I realized that when I didn't even see cases like the above from June till now that there were going to be slim pickings when it came to rugged protection.

Jeez, that case would make the OPO almost as bulky as my nexus 7 in its gumbox case ?

Well, I wouldn't need a case like that all the time. But at my work work it would be very good to have!
