I have been contacting Zizo biweekly with requests and inquiries about any updates on the process of them making a lineup of Axon 7 Bolt cases, but I still always receive the same answer everytime of "I have forwarded your request to our department team". I have mentioned how they have cases for 8 ZTE phones on their website, but none for the Axon 7. They have one for the Axon Pro, but not the 7. I find this disappointing because Zizo has surpassed my expectations with their cases and would love to have them create a line of cases of the Axon 7.
With the lack of brand name protective cases, whatnot with Spigen and Poetic, I feel like Zizo would have a strong market with Axon 7 users. The phone has been out since July of 2016 and has been noted the best budget smartphone* etc. It's widely used across the world which baffles me why Zizo hasn't made a case yet.
If we all could, contact them using their contact page and request consideration for an Axon 7 case be made. Even the Axon 7 Mini. :fingers-crossed:
I have send the Emails + Facebook messages, about it....
Love the Zizo case and seriously I don't know what are they waiting to get us some cases for our Axon 7.

Same here! Just last night I decided to try Facebook messaging and I got a reply back today of the same exact autoscripted message saying they will forward it to their development team. These aren't good enough answers . I own an Alcatel Idol 3 that Zizo has made a Bolt series case for. And that phone was less popular than the Axon 7 by miles. So if they can make a case for the Idol 3, they would have no problem making one for the Axon 7.
@brian117
LoL, I have the ID3 (5.5") as backup with the Zizo Bolt case , and yes my need to create a Petition and post it here and the Official ZTE Community.

Same here! I own the Idol 3 with the Bolt case as my backup phone in case my Axon 7 breaks. Haven't touched the Idol 3 since I got the Axon 7. It's crazy how a phone like the Idol 3 with a very limited user base somehow sparked enough interest for Zizo to make a case for it. Yet the Axon 7 has 5 times the user base and publicity, yet no interest from Zizo. If you start the petition I will gladly be signing it and be willing to help organize it if needed.

@DrakenFX , the link brings me to a Page not found error. However, a little bit more news, my Facebook post just now finally got accepted by Zizo and got posted publically asking when they will make a case for the Axon 7. So like and comment on it to get their attention!

@DrakenFX
Here's to hoping our Facebook posts help ignite a little bit more spark to Zizo. Even if it's just a little bit that's all that matters.
Welp, still nothing in regards to Zizo making a case. With the lack of communication after the monthly inquiries by email, and Facebook/Twitter, I find it to be bull**** that this company has not even acknowledged the Axon 7. They can make cases for 10 different ZTE phones, which mind you are the cheapest prepaid phones released by ZTE, but their logic to not release a line of cases for an actual highly rated, reasonably priced, high spec'd smartphone that has been put on numerous "Top 10" best smartphones of 2016/17 is the most baffling thing to me. Call me a whiner, but with the extreme lack of cases and screen protectors and overall accessories for this phone is unacceptable. I mean hell, Zizo has released full curved screen protectors for the ZTE Grand X Max 2 and the Axon 7 is not even considered.
As careful as I am with my phones (have never dropped or broken any phone I have owned), I still prefer to keep my invested device protected. And I have always looked at Zizo as the best contender for phone cases which is why I called out to them but simply got ignored and was given the typical auto generated response of "Your message has been directed to the design department". With the lack of case support for this phone I would have thought a company like Zizo would jump on the chance to start producing for the Axon 7 and be the best rated case for it. But instead people are stuck with Spigen's lowest line of case that doesn't offer anything that it's advertised to do, and Poetic's full body, yet flawed design protective case. With it's poorly designed dust flaps that do not stay inserted after you have unplugged your headphones/charger and pop right out when you try to close them back in.
Surely I am not the only one disappointed by the lack of customizable protection/accessories for this phone. Take a look at the cases Zizo offers for ZTE phones that I linked above and tell me that's not a slap in the face to release cases for prepaid phones that are $100 or less. But the Axon 7 gets nothing. Sorry for a lengthy post but I just had to vent. Hope there's more people out there that understand and can relate.
I would also like to see a Bolt case for our A7. I contacted them through email and even pointed them towards this thread and hopefully they come here and read our posts.

Unfortunately Zizo made an official announcement via Facebook saying they are not going to release an Axon 7 case since the Axon 7 is over a year old or close to being a year old. See attached screenshot of the post.
Still doesn't make sense to me that they waited and waited and now are giving the excuse of "the phone is too old now". Where were they when the phone first came out then? Like I said before numerous times their business strategy seems backwards so I've come to realize it and move on. Nothing we can do now will change their mind. So sending inquiries to them are of no use anymore.

Yeah def. to anyone who reads this thread head over to otterbox.com and send em an email saying you'd like a case made. They make high quality stuff.
Never had an Otterbox case but i know they are thick. And pricey.
Just replied. And as pricy as they are look up on youtube. Otterbox car and iphone. A friggin car runs over an iFail and the phone stays in tact. Its super restive from what i heard and also i hear the build quality is AMAZING! As thick as it is its worth it. Plus OG smartphones are thick arent they? Not only will it pretect it itll make your anerexic vibrant into a smartphone
Yee!
This is what they replied: Thank you for contacting Otter Products, LLC Customer Support.
Your request for assistance has been received. Case #157586 - "Samsung Galaxy S" has been created for you. A member of our customer care team will respond to your case as soon as possible.
Just sent them the following email,
Hi, I am emailing you in regards to the International and US carrier specific versions of the Samsung Galaxy S series phones. I'm just asserting my interest in purchasing a Defender series case if you were to launch a line for the Galaxy S.
In my opinion, I believe the Galaxy S series phones to be a good investment for a high end phone case manufacturer such as yourself. My opinion is due largely to the sheer number of phones that have been sold already; since launch totaling over 1 million units. Also, I've found a large percentage of the international variant of the Galaxy S were bought outright with out carrier subsidy, and with prices ranging from $599-800 on average I would imagine that most of those people would want to amply protect their investment with a ruggedized case such as yours. Another advantage to the series is that the International and US Carrier specific versions of the phone are very similar in form factor, thus minimal retooling and design changes would be necessary to make the case work with two of the US carriers, and with the International version to a certain degree. In actuality, the US specific versions such as T-Mobile Vibrant and Verizon Fascinate are practically identical externally and the capacitive touch buttons on the face of the phone will, I trust, lend themselves well to the simple and robust protection that the Defender series can provide. Honestly, after seeing the success you've had with the design of the hardware "Home" button on the face of the iPhone cases, I could see something very similar as easy to implement for the international version of the Galaxy S.
Although I believe that the other two US carrier specific versions of the phone would be less profitable to design a Defender series case due to their irregular shape and slider design respectively, I think they would still lend themselves well to the commuter, impact, or tandem line of cases.
Sorry if I seem to ramble on, but I'm very excited to see an offering from Otterbox for the Galaxy S line, and I see it as a great opportunity for you the manufacturer and I the consumer to be mutually benefited by a superbly designed and executed case offering from your company.
Thank you for your consideration and for giving me the outlet to express my desire to protect my beloved Samsung Vibrant with your case offerings. Thanks again.

Subject: Samsung Vibrant
Do you have any plans on making a commuter case for the samsung vibrant? Thanks.
Got an email back from them today:
We are currently working on a case for this device. I recommend keeping an eye on our website or Facebook page where we will be sure to post more information as soon as it is available. Generally it takes approximately 2-4 months for a case to developed once a device is released to the public. Customer Service finds out about new case releases the moment they are posted to the website
I was just checking their website yesterday to see if they've come out yet. They are at the end of their "development" time. Didn't take long for the bastards to come out with a Captivate case.
I wanted to pass along this information.
I sent some emails to this companies about the Xoom Case.
Here is what they told me.
Scosche:
At this point we do not have any plans for that. If you have any other questions please feel free to ask!

I JUST BOUGHT THIS SNAZZY NEW ______, AND NOTICED YOU DON'T MAKE A CASE FOR IT YET. HOW CAN I FIND OUT WHEN YOU'RE RELEASING NEW CASES?
We’d love to be able to give you a definite answer, but the truth is, we don’t always know ourselves. Believe us on this: we’re busily turning out tons of super-sweet new cases, bags and sleeves just as fast as our little hands can turn. But if we gave you definite release dates and for whatever reason they didn’t turn out to be dead-on, well, then, you might be sad. And we don’t want you to be sad. So we ask that hang on, sign up for e-mail newsletter on the bottom right corner of our website and be patient. We’ll let you know, we promise!

They are all busy modifying their production for iPad cases... It's a shame that the Xoom evokes so little confidence in the accessory market I absolutely love it but I don't expect there will be any kind of, let's say car stereo, with Android connectivity (but maybe there already is; I never checked).
Either way, I will most likely buy the Motorola keyboard and patch together my own leather case with keyboard compartment... As we say in German: "Selbst ist der Mann!"
Anyone checked with Seidio?

I emailed an ipad case company called switcheasy. they make awesome cases and sleeves. This is what they said
That is a great question! Our design and development team is always busy
working on new products and releases. Since your interests are very
important to us,
we will forward this information to them for future releases.
If the dimensions similar to the ipad or ipad2, it may fit in one of
our sleeves... Ribcage and Trig. We can't promise, for our cases were
made specifically for apple products.
So my question is, has anyone tried to see if the xoom fits in ipad sleeves?
Yea, I have an encase sleeve I grabbed. It is made for the iPad. It fits fine, but the length of the XOOM is a bit more then the iPad, so it is a tight fit at the zipper. Width the XOOM is not as wide as the iPad so no issues there.
If it is a flexible sleeve, I think you're fine. If it is rigid at all, I think it could be tricky.

Attention XDA: Here's your chance everyone to get us a custom case option for the ThunderBolt.
We need alot of votes and each person is entitled to drop 10 votes total if they want.
So, I created a suggestion thread that CaseMate will consider and may even put into production if there are enough votes.
Vote here! http://uservoice.com/a/9xBSz
Basically the "I Make My Case" by CaseMate is where you can put any design of ANYTHING you want onto your case, including color choice, texture and style.
We can get this option if we get enough votes since CaseMate lets the community vote on new products/ideas and whoever has the most votes or enough votes, can get the product put into production.
Here's a great review/article about the whole thing including a video on what all you can do. Prices range from $34.99 to $39.99 but can vary depending on how big the phone may be, and so far, there are no other phones other than iPhone that have this option.
http://www.appscout.com/2010/01/hands_on_with_case-mates_iphon.php
Sorry to post an iPhone article but so far its the only phone they have support for for this custom case.
But again, we can all change that!
Vote at the link to make our phone the first (again!) to be the only non-iPhone device with this option.
3 votes from me I want this honestly to say I helped make a case would be awesome

I know there's already an otterbox thread. But this one is specifically for the defender. I have the defender on my HD2, and it's a godsend. I don't have to try to put on a screen protector myself, and I know my phone is very well protected.
So is there any chance the note will get a defender case made for it?
This is a major determining factor for me. Don't want to put down $700 on a phone for it to get scratched up, or for me to drop it and it breaks.
I have already emailed Otterbox last week regarding to making cases for the Note. This is what they have replied:

If we do start up a petition for a defender case, I'd like to specify that otterbox design one that is big enough to fit an extended battery just in case.
The defender on my HD2 is very perfectly designed, but doesn't leave any extra room for any kind of bigger battery.
I already know I'll be playing games and watching movies like crazy on the note.
Maybe I will start a new thread for the petition....and I will then send the petition to OtterBox....

No news yet, the only news is an email reply from them to me saying that there is no plan for it yet, but they will pass on my suggestion to the development department
Otterbox Samsung Note!!!!
Otterbox will eventually make a case for the NOTE. They play this game of "we don't know anything until we know something" because, from what I've been told, alot of it is contingent on their overseas manufacturer. But development was in the works before the phone was released (according to my source). Supply and Demand. I personally cannot wait to see one on their website BUT if it's anything like the Samsung Galaxy SII I'll probably have outgrown my NOTE for the next best thing by the time it happens.
I would like to see them post an UPCOMING cases or SOON TO BE RELEASED page on their website if they cannot keep up with getting product out timely for new devices. Otherwise there are alternatives that work very well.
Yeah I bought the Zenus Capsule Case just because it looks pretty. And it's probably almost as bulky as the Defender would be.
But I'll probably still buy a Defender. I just really wish they made a Defender for an extended battery addition.

Hi all
Been some time since we posted on this site....life and all that gets in the way sometimes.
Just a reminder that a while ago we got some very favorable reviews here about our products; leather holsters and cases for PDAs, cell phones and now - Smartphones.
We are still busy beavering away. If I had the space there surely is a tale worth the telling. But to keep it brief we are still providing the same style of products...and still improving our design and manufacturing techniques to meet the needs of people like you; those folk who live, breath and oft-times work through their mobile devices.
So,,, just a reminder here; if you do need a really good holster or case to protect your mobile device visit our website, use the search button and - if you still cannot find what you need - use the 'Liveperson' button at the top of every page to send us a message.
Oh...and if you are generous enough to purchase one of our very fine products (plug, plug) use the coupon code 'tuff02" to earn a healthy discount.
All the best to one and all.
