Cases and screen protectors still pretty scarce for the Turbo

[Garemlin]

I know it has only been a few weeks but things are moving pretty slow. Been watching amazon and not much new is popping up for the Turbo. Even more surprising is there is hardly anything shipped and sold by amazon. The few things that are on there are marketplace sellers. Hope things pick up with the accessory market.

I ended up ordering a pack of HD screen protectors from ebay from a seller pretty close to me. I am sure they will not be very good quality but they will do for now.

Still missing on the case front are announcements from some of the usual players:
Seidio
Diztronics
Spek
SGP
Trident
Fosmon

This will be the Achilles heel with my Note Edge. Based upon what I saw today it looks like I am going without a case.

I've been watching and searching as well. So far, I've been pretty disappointed with the lack of cases. Honestly I just want a nice bumper case and the casemate clear one IMO is ugly lol. Hopefully more items show up soon.

Ugly and expensive. I could buy 4 decent TPU cases for the price of that one.

Good news is the Cruzerlite TPU cases should be available next week. I'll be grabbing two myself.

This seems to be the case (get it...the case....ok lame I know!) with most new devices these days and I'm not sure why. When we got our S5s, (about 6 weeks after release) there where literally 2 cases to choose from at Verizon and if we were lucky, only 1 or 2 to choose from everywhere else we looked in town. We actually had to go online and search for another 3-4 weeks to find one we liked. Used to be there would be dozens of cases to choose from before the device was released. Perhaps manufacturers aren't releasing the exact specs (size-wise) for most case manufacturers to make the molds and get a nice variety out to the public. I started noticing this trend when the S3 was released two years ago, there was a similar problem, although not quite as bad. But just enough to make it noticeable to a lot of us S3 owners.

The only real thing I don't like about the cruzerlite cases is the cutout buttons. That being said, I'll probably grab a couple for myself and my wife. I have 2 for my Droid Maxx and they are nice minus the button thing. I got a bumper case for my wife's S4 from them that I wish was available for the Turbo.

A few people mentioned that one in another thread. Still pricey for what is essentially a fancy looking TPU case.

I have been running a Fosmon TPU on my G2 and N7 for well over a year. Do the same thing as the Tech21. Feel and fit the same and still look good after that time. And cost less than 1/4 of that case.

I just can't constitute the price of a case that high when it does nothing more than cases that cost much less.

I hear ya.. It depends on your use of phone.. I had a Fosmon and it didn't feel as good to me.. the shock protection of tech is what makes it.. Good to have choices though
