Droid DNA Cases

[bellken]

I have yet to see one that does....

With the Verizon silicon case, you can see the back LED notification light through the case, so, it does not need a hole to be seen.

I went with the TPU type case at the Verizon store - this is the result of the phone being in my back pocket while putting up Christmas lights last night (less than 8 hrs with the phone). Needless to say, I am very upset with myself - I kinda felt like that wasn't a good idea to start with (I normally carry in a belt clip). There was no impact, no bumping and no drop to the phone - just me repeatedly bending over with it in my back pocket. I am now wondering if that overall length (tallness) of the phone might be an issue with its overall sturdiness. I thankfully purchased the insurance when I bought it so I will be getting it replaced - when it becomes available, which it is not yet :-\
I will be ordering the Otterbox Defender this time around.

assuming something bad happen to the phone? the picture is not showing.

Ok. I saw the picture via the link in quote. OUCH. I am not sure how other people does it, I have never put the phone in the back pocket. However I am surprised to see the damage it caused.

Holy Cow!, you must have buns of steel.

For me, i'm honestly still using my old verizon droid x holster.
It sticks out the sides a bit, but the elastic is worn out just enough so it's snug. It was a good case for my dx for years so i hope they make a dna version.

Hahaha - that's what my wife said. I'm still devastated over it. Assurion put me on back order since the phone is so new - no telling how long I will have to hold on to my Tbolt now...lol

I went ahead and ordered the Defender from VzW. I had one on my S3, only had to pay $34.77.

Just ordered the commuter from Otterbox. The wife will be taking this phone and doesn't want the bulk of the defender.

I had planned on waiting for the Active case from Seidio, but both of these Otterbox cases look amazing. What colors are folks generally picking? I'm surprised at how much I like the look of the grey/white combo.

Do these Otterbox cases have a screen cover?

Only defender has a cover.

Ah, thank you! I'll go for Commuter then.

I had the gray/white (iceberg) on my white S3, liked it very much. The only issue was the screen protector which had an opaque/shimmer effect. I removed it and used a wet protector I had laying around.

Are there any cases like the Galaxy S3 that flip over and cover/lock the screen!? Love that idea!

That one actually replaces the removable back cover on the SGS3. I doubt we'll ever see one on the DNA, since it doesn't have a removable cover.
But I agree, that's a sweet case/cover.

Spigen might come out with one, they have several that snap around the note 2.

I don't know it seems sweet, I had one on my S3. The cool factor of it wore off quickly.

I doubt there are many cases that retain a "cool factor" for very long.

All I can say is taking pictures with one of those cases is annoying. It also feels odd to hold too.

Oh, I see your point... especially holding it in landscape view.

My case just came today. Its very light. No added bulk. I may drill a hole for the back notification light.
