I finally found a great case. It fits extended battery. The Krusella leather pouch. No stupid belt clip, which is the best.
I am totally digging it.
Protection is not amazing, but good enough for me. Good enough for government work too...IMO.
Who else has a case they love?

I have an otterbox defender although when I got my zagg invisibleSHIELD, I haven't used it. It makes it JUST too big to fit lol.

Would you be willing to part with it for a reasonable price?

I'm actually requesting a refund for my shield so I won't be parting with my defender for a while. I may look at getting a commuter, and then I'd sell it, but not until then.

I had a defender case when I had a BB. I like the commuter on my Dinc2 even better.
Seidio Surface Case. I can't imagine going with anything else. Bulky cases are too bulky. Silicon is too floppy. TPU hasn't been up to par with fit.
Seidio Active here. Absolutely love it!
IMHO, perfect case for this phone, adds the right amount of weight without being too bulky.
Also offers very good drop protection. With this case on no worries if it drop it, unless on concrete, but that barley ever comes out good!

Amen! I've had this case for nine months now...I bought the Otterbox Defender first. It was way to bulky for my taste. I LOVE the Seidio Surface thought, just enough protection while remaining slim.
I have a few.
Bodyglove colored case.
Qmadix case with holster.
Casemate tough case.
Trident Ageis case.
Krussell case for fancy outfits lol.

Unfortunately I have to stick with a silicon case with a little thing that helps me press the unlock button. It's sort of like a button replacement in a case! Wish I have a plastic case though. I could use volume wake....
I've had a Seidio surface case for a while, i'm currently using the incipio featherlight. Mixed feelings on both. Seidio comes apart a bit too easily, but the featherlight is kinda flimsy.
Silicon

Silicon cases are actually pretty nice (imo). Got a while ago and is holding up really well. Protected my phone from like a 4 1/2 foot drop onto asphalt and was still good

I really want one of those cases but I don't want to set up a pay pal. Those cases seem to be the go to case for extended batteries. I unfortunately purchased the ****ty Hyperion "case" and it f**king sucks.
With the normal battery, I used the Otterbox Commuter Case. I felt the phone by itself was too thin where I was scared of dropping it. The otterbox texture was pretty good and the dual casing added drop protection.
With the extended battery, I am using the moretalktime TPU case. Feels great, but like others have said, fitment is a little off.
It looks like what was i used in past on my inc2... cool

I wonder if it would help if you (VERY LIGHTLY) hit it with a heat gun and shrunk it a tiny bit.
Anyone care to spend the $ to find out?
I know you can get them for like 4 bucks on amazon but does anyone have one to put their two cents in? Reliable?
Eh they're alright you get what you pay for. It actually protects surprisingly well from drops. You can get good ones from "mall stalls"

They're great; they're not soft, lint-collectors like rubber ones, but they're not hard and shatter-prone like hard cases. They're somewhere in between. I'd recommend them. Used them on my Evo 3D and GSII. I'd say get them either from Amazon or here (this is the website for real TPU cases): http://tpu-cases.com/ If you order from Amazon, Diztronic is the original seller.
Thanks yeah I got the diztronic matte black one. It's awesome

They're a mix of both worlds. It really depends on your own opinion though.
I have the TPU Matte black case on my Galaxy S2 and I'll have to say it's great for the price. I had the Case-Mate Pop before but it made the phone feel too bulky.
TPU cases are a great value . Even an inexpensive one purchased at fleabay works well .
definitely think a cheap tpu case is the way to go. I bought the s-line tpu case off ebay for 1.90 shipped for my amaze
I've used a couple and think they are solid enough. They're great protection but sometimes don't add much in the wow factor to the look of the phone.
I have 4 cruzerlite TPU cases i purchased from Amazon. Its the only skin/case i have ever used on my razr since December and i dont have a single mark on my phone.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda premium
TPU cases are the way to go. Gel and silicon are to flimsy. Hard cases make a drop even worse for a phone. TPU cases are sturdy but soft enough to protect when dropped.

The Rock ones are the best you will get for the price. Screen & lens protection, great quality. There is a thread on here.
mmm for 4 dollars is very difficult to find something good on ebay I saw some leather to 11.99 for various models. regards
TPU cases that i've used are pretty good against shock, i've dropped my phone a few times and its still in one piece
More money, like 16, but I LOVE the SGP Spigen Capsule Series. The white makes it look like a white GSII or white One X or White iPhone
NICE

Hi everyone. I got my phone around 3 months ago and I've been sporting this $2.50 case I found online. It's good, but doesn't offer the protection I need. I'm looking for a better case that isn't too expensive. So far I'm considering these...
Trident Aegis
Seidio
Ballistic Look-Alike (http://www.ebay.com/itm/13065928243...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_3360wt_1185)
Otterbox Commuter if I can find one for cheap
Any recommendations? Thanks.
I had the actual ballistic case like that. It will protect it from falls but i work in construction and everyday i got home i had to take the phone out the case and clean them both bc the case gets dust inside to easy. Ive had seidios tridents ballistics and otterboxes for numerous phones. Ive pretty much come to realized the only case thats gonna offer full protection is one with a built in screen protector like a otterbox defender or ballistic hc. Others do offer good drop protection but they just let to much dust inside the phone

The actual ballistic is a little out of my range, as is the defender :/. But I've heard the trident aegis is good at resisting dust.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
The Trident Aegis is a great case and offers great protection against drops and dust. You can find it on eBay for about $20 with shipping. You can't go wrong with the otterbox commuter but that's gonna cost you about $27 on eBay shipped. If cost is a big factor go with the Trident. You get more bang for your buck. Its a premium case at a great price.
I love my Trident but I ordered the otterbox commuter just because I'm an otterbox fanboy

I just got that same exact case yesterday and its a steal! Feels great while holding phone and not cheap looking at all. I remember paying 35+ for a trident ageis case on my old mt4g and that is basically what this case is.
Also ordered couple screen protectors and the case does a good job of keeping protector snug so no dust gets in. I'm very impressed and I usually hate rocking my phone anything but naked lol
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Thanks everyone. I think I'm just going to buy the Aegis sometime tomorrow for like $19. Although I did find a good deal on the Ballistic (actual) on ebay (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sprint-Epic...ccessories&hash=item1e6c4a978c#ht_1749wt_1344). Is Ballistic generally preferred over Aegis?

I have a very good news for you.
You can get Seido cases for dirt cheap.
here is why.
Seido makes OEM ( store brand) cases for Bestbuy sold as platinum series.
The surface case. is best buy model call STC21SB. list as 34.99
but if you search 'STC21SB' on ebay, store liquidators are always getting rid of them under 10.
this method can be apply to any phone.. just search your phone in best buy, get the model number of Seido case, and get it on ebay.
I think last time i got one... 8.99 shipped including holster.
I'm using a thick tpu generic case I got on Amazon for 6 bucks it is amazing and looks alright to...... dropped my phone many times it saved it every time even threw it on to a tile floor as demonstration and it feels amazing in the hand cause it's textured

I got the Seidio Active case a few months back and it's been through a lot of falls and it hasn't gotten a single scratch on the case or the phone. It even makes a nice solid thud when it hits the ground so I know it's absorbing the impact. I got it off of Amazon (not sure if you could get it cheaper).
Personally, I have the ballistics one I got for 17$ on Ebay and i'm satisfied.

Samsung orginal is the best one
poor build quality but best suitet

Hey everyone.
I'm trying to find a case for my phone that doesn't obstruct the use of the buttons with other plastic. I got the otterbox commuter but the plastic that's used has changed since my last otterbox and it's now rigid and terrible. It makes it virtually impossible to press the buttons.
Anyone have a suggestion?
My Ballistic Case offers great protection and the buttons are fine. You don't have to use the display protector and I don't. I use a Zagg HD screen protector.

Spigen Ultra series...
If you are just looking to protect against scratches, the OEM Samsung cases are the best I have found. Obviously don't provide protection from drops, but ultra thin and add some grip to the phone. I picked up the white two-pack from Expansys. If you have the 50% off from Samsung accessories you can pick up the white/blue pack for $10 plus shipping and tax.
