- Need to get a heavy duty case for my storm 2, need a kevlar one if available
I'm hard on my phones, last one I had fell of a 24' ladder straight on bricks.
Also met lots and lots of concrete "no case" So I need a heavy duty case, but I really don't want to add bulk what so ever.
I was looking at something like the otterbox commuter or the defender.
I read the defender adds bulk, but the commuter doesn't have as much protection as the defender.
What do you just suggest, for a Slim but very Protective case for the Storm 2 9550? Want something that covers it all, unlike the Case Mate Barley There that has an open top and bottom. I need protection everywhere

You can't have both, unless you talk to Clark Kent and get some kryptonite from him to make a case.04-21-10 12:24 PMLike 0

Either way, I've only ever had the Otterbox line on my phone...can't go wrong there, but slim is generally not as protective, and super-protective is generally not slim, so like ridesno said, gotta pick which is more important.04-21-10 12:29 PMLike 0 -
- While I agree that the Defender is absolutely top notch for protection, you can get very good protection from the Otterbox Commuter, which is less bulky.

Don't know why people have a hard time, when other people start a thread when there is a "similar" one.04-21-10 12:46 PMLike 0 -
lol, probably going to get the defender04-21-10 02:53 PMLike 0 - Depends on how much bulk you want to add to your phone and person. Im pretty hard on mine as well and ive looked for a case that would protect mine for a while. I finally came across one that Verizon offers. Its a black rigid hard shell case that slides into a really tough belt holster. Doesnt pose a lot of bulk either to me or the phone and its really tough. It protects the entire phone and whenever I dont want to wear it on my belt, the case on the phone is not so bulky that it prevents it from just sliding into my pants pocket. I would def. give this one a try.Deuces.

I like the style of them both, but would like the slimness of the commuter compared to the defender04-21-10 04:05 PMLike 0 - I have used both the Seidio Innocase II and locking holster as well as the Platinum Case from BestBuy (think Seidio makes it for them as very similar). Other than the "rubberized" paint flaking off the BestBuy one have no complaints, both hard cases with holsters that protect phone well and add very little bulk to the phone. Have choice to use the holster or just the case. I would recommend either. Personally I just scrapped off the "rubberized" paint from the BestBuy case when it started looking really bad, it is just a matte black case now. Dont care about the looks care about the functionality.04-22-10 05:01 PMLike 0

I would like something like the otterbox defender, something with hard case + rubber to absorb shock04-22-10 06:11 PMLike 0 - I had one on my first storm1 and my phone had a couple of cartwheel drops and the top and bottom were both well protected and that phone never suffered any damage. I would suggest some sort of invisible shield for the front.04-22-10 06:21 PMLike 0
