Review generic otterbox clone - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Got this off Ebay for $8.88 shipping included. Works great makes function buttons a little harder to use. But overall for $9.00 bucks this is as good or better than otterbox.
Also has kickstand on back cover
Seller shipped fast. They are currently sold out but I posted the link for reference. http://www.ebay.com/itm/220967361850#ht_2947wt_952

I wouldn't really call them an Otterbox "clone" when these were out long before the Otterbox cases were.

what a steal! :d

I think they did that to the price so people don't buy them since they are sold out. Don't know why they wouldn't just take the listing down.
Looks like it's just the blue that's sold out, they jave them in other colors for $8.88.

that seller just sent me 5 pictures of it front and backs i'd post but your not allowed
What I'd really like is a screen protector to be here and ready when my GNex finally arrives.
As far as this goes I think it looks slightly tacky.
I found one from china for 3. Wonder if it will get here before the phone. Lol

I just got these off ebay for $11 shipped. For around $2 per case i dont expect great quality but, they should do the job untill a proper one comes along a little after release.
Looks nice, I have a feeling there will be a lot of accessories for this phone over any other Android device.
I had one for my Nexus S and SGS2 in matte black, I hate glossy. Anyone seen one yet?
They're decent and cost effective. I purchased a few from ebay with no complaints

That's what I was wondering, if these are real or not..
I'm relatively new to case shopping (the S3 is only the 2nd smart phone i've owned), so I don't know how common that happens or not

The pics on the site look real. They also did a video review of the case with drop test....there was a pic of what looked to be genuine otterbox packaging. Hoping it's the real deal....they see to be a legit site. When I ordered mine today they had no stock of the blue, purple or green....only a crapload of black and 13 (make that 12 after my order lol) of the glacier.

Anyone bought from them before? Or found some useful reviews of the site? Only found a bunch of youtube videos by them.
I've ordered a case from Noreve already, but had an Otterbox on my HD2 and the protection was great... especially when you're drunk and likely to drop your phone :laugh:
Ok I bought myself one. Looks like it will be a cool case especially since you can use the holster as a kick stand.

That was a selling point for me as well. I love my ballistic sg maxx, particularly due to the less bulky holster....so it will probably be my go 2 when leaving the house. When hanging at the house I will make good use of the kickstand feature on the otter holster. My only wish would be that it could be used in portrait mode. I had an otter on my last phone and NEVER knew it had a kickstand until a few days ago. :banghead:

Does this have a belt clip (deal breaker for me)? Also, how is the screen protector? Do you have to use it? Thanks.
Yes, it comes with a belt clip. It's a separate holster that stays on your belt and the phone clips into it. It can also be used as a kickstand if you take it off your belt and 'lock' the clip open.
If it's anything like the HD2 Otterbox the screen protector is good, but mine didn't hold up well to repeatedly removing the phone from the case, it developed blotchy parts where it was sticking right to the screen and other parts weren't. Eventually I removed the screen protector (it's not designed to be removable, so you can't put it back in if you do remove it).
dang. That is a good deal. I bought a Glacier one from Amazon yesterday for $35 I think. Im kind of nervous if the case is legit though...
This is the one I bought, anyone buy from "ITX Wireless" before?
NEVERMIND: I cant post links yet, but seller is ITX Wireless on Amazon, hopefully its real.
Thanks OP for the link! Just bought myself the Glacier to go along with my white SGS3.
Bought! Thanks, nice deal. I just happened to break my case today unfortunately...so this worked out well. Went with Glacier.
Thanks for posting this excellent deal. I've used Smartphonepedia.com recently. I ordered my Galaxy S3 Body Glover tpu case from them. It arrived extremely fast and if the case is knockoff, I honestly couldn't tell. It came in retail packaging and the product shows no signs of being 'cheap' or 'knockoff'.
I definitely did not hesitate on taking advantage of this deal. I ordered the glacier colored case and even though it's on back order, i'm perfectly fine with waiting considering the cost savings and besides my Body Glove case from this company is holding me over just fine. Thanks for this find again!

The price is too good to be true for this case so it's most likely fake like the others on ebay. Just a heads up because there are many people who thought they were going to get a real one.

Yup. Plus they dont even make those anymore, they got discontinued awhile back. Just the fakes are available now. Maybe few real one but doubt those are it cause of the price. Nonetheless the fake one I had was so close to real. Almost perfect.

Diztronic is a great value case but it is TPU (which I actually prefer). Otherwise, the ACase seems nice as well. Of course, UAG is on amazon as well, but I personally think they are ugly. :shrugs:

I had this case and gave it away. The buttons are difficult to press and the case turned blue from my jeans. Only worth $1 for phone protection

Imo buy dark colors cause eventually lighter colors will stain overtime. My wife has a hot pink ballistic LS series and it started turning purple with jean stain lol. Its easy to clean off tho, so I guess no biggie. But I can only imagine a white case with stains

waterpfoof case for the s3

I know a lot of us has been looking for a waterproof shockproof dustproof snow proof case for our s3. Lifeproof has failed to deliver same goes for with otterbox, they are taking for ever. I found one that is available in a few hours. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/enflux/agilis-series-premium-galaxy-s3-case check it out. And it is cheaper than otterbox.
100k in 52 hours yea i highly doubt it'll reach its goal. Best of luck though.

they should make a water proof case for a extended battery.
I completely agree.

this looks like an excellent case... I would buy 2 units (for me and the wife) if they made it.... they should also consider the back to be thin to be compatible with wireless charging....

In my situation cautious yes. I work in a really dusty enviroment and I use the case only in the workplace. And I got my earlier Sony's screen broken because of no case in the workplace....
I don't use this case in my freetime. It's just too bulky to have in your pocket and phone is a little more difficult to use.
There's couple disadvantages in the case:
- you can't press the powerbutton on the rightside. It's blocked because the hinges of the case are on the right side.
- I have had problems with the voice. I need to take the phone out of the case when talking with someone because they can't hear almost at all for some reason. I have not researched do anyone else have this problem and can I do something for it
I have also a bike clip for the case. I have not tested it yet (I have some plans to use the phone as a cycling computer in the summer time).
I'm little struct between this or Griffin Survivor (I have them both). Griffin Survivor is much better in almost every way (belt clip in Griffin case is really good) if you don't need water proofness but it's much harder to put the phone to the case and take if off.
Got this case to use on my bike: http://www.topeak.com/products/bags/smartphone_drybag_5_bk
Edit: don't mind my sig, got a S3 now.

Would an s3 with extended battery fit in this case, im already looking for quite a while for something like this but never realy wanted to order one because i am worried that it would not fit for extended batteries
Do these waterproof cases float? If no, what kind of depths can they handle? (I assume 1m)
I'm waiting for the otter armor.

Here you go.
It looks very nice and has good reviews from Amazon. Most likely the same thing. The above ebay link is currently from a more well known seller at a lower price.

Don't ask me about review. I settled with a Finite smart cover (it's $6.99 on sale!).
I have one and its ok for right now. Wish the inside was lined with something soft. Its hard plastic
The stand is ok but it feels cheap
Time will tell. Not bad for the price though, i got mine on eBay

Get the back protector from xtremeguard. Wait for their 90% or 80% off. the stuff Xtreme guard sells is soft and slightly sticky. Should be good as a cushion between the tablet and the case.
