This may seem like an odd question, but i need a case that can survive hours of moshing. I'm going to Warped Tour this year and don't want my phone getting broken in any moshes. I saw on the S4GRU forums that someone on the forums had an Otterbox that got demolished on a mosh pit, so I want something more durable than an Otterbox. Any suggestions?

I've gone to over 9000 shows, and I always have used the trident aegis case recently, i've kept my case-mate tough case on when I go. They both protect a good amount, and either way, no one should be aiming for yer pockets while you're in the pit... :sly:

This. Seriously though, I've gone to more shows then I can remember. 95% bring street punk shows, and the other 5% being oi shows. And if any of you have any idea the types of crowds that show up here, you'll know that they go hard, and that case has protected it time and time again.

i do not want to use a traditional case on my s3. i love the look and feel of the slim phone but i am worried about getting scratches on it in my pocket. my question about leather pouches is this: is this for ladies purses or do men use these too? can't have my wife making fun of me
There is nothing wrong with a guy using a leather case at all. Indiana Jones carried a satchel. Haha. All jokes side, leather cases do make it look nice, but I don't like the added step of flipping it open. If your wife gives you grief about it, a strong backhand should do the trick. Haha just jokes.

Nope. I'm a guy and I use the official S3 pouch. Got it for £10. Good quality sim design.

True! So rather than close the thread we should switch it up into something productive. For example:
· Why you would recommend the UAG
· Why you chose the specific color UAG
· Or post a picture of your S3 in your UAG
This way it doesn't turn into a copy of the other 1, 000+ thread but we still get to see the case owner's participate. Just an idea.

That is common, specially the white version. Their customer service is top notch. They sent me a replacement. Just file a claim form, send pictures of defects/cracks, wait for response. They will send you a code. That goes into the coupon box, at the checkout page. Place order. Total 0.00 with shipping.

So I have a plan to water-proof my GS3 with ZERO bulk (okay maybe like 1%)
I'm sure if you've Googled anything having to do with waterproofing your GS3, you've seen this: http://www.iottie.com/Product/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=1010&ProductType=320
In theory, it seems like a great idea. Until you realize that you have no way to charge your phone or plug in earbuds.
A couple weeks after I saw that product, I came across this article: http://m.webosnation.com/galaxy-s3-gets-cleanest-touchstone-mod-yet
Now if you see where I'm going with this, you're probably thinking "Well that solves the charging problem, but what about the headphone jack?"
After about 10 minutes of research I found this: http://www.jabra.com/products/bluetooth/jabra_clipper/jabra_clipper
Unfortunately this blows the $80 budget of a waterproof case.
So instead, I just found a refurbished pair of blue tooth headphones for $35 on ebay. (I bought these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004B...edirect=true&ref_=as_li_ss_tl&tag=chescifi-20)
So the idea is to combine these products (Jabra clipper is optional) and have a waterproofed phone. Is this idea too good to be true? I have ordered all of the items. I will post a video showing my results when I have received the items.

Although it says that it isn't meant to be permanent, it implies that that is only because it does not allow charging. Either way, I've bought the items. My point of view is that if the waterproofing isn't successful, at least I have some badass accessories now right?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
It says reusable. That means they intend you take it off sometime. The 5 sealing tapes are probably for wear and tear leaks but maybe they could be used for "panels" to cover those holes but I really think this is a temporary skin for if you're going out in a wet environment.
hows it working for you?
So far, the "case" itself is literally the only part of this experiment that has not shipped yet. Please be patient for a video on my results. I'm going to try to go as long as I can with one package worth of material. I'd say I can make it last 1-2 months. I don't plan on much submersion except maybe for a quick test.

Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
The idea seems great, but it would worry me a bit. Not to mention the fact that devices that were not built to be waterproof can get water trapped in non air tight areas. At CES they had a liquipelled Tab 2 that got water trapped between the glass and the display. Not fun. This technology is used more for accidental exposure to moisture.

He says he can take pics underwater and still say that you think it's not a good idea bc a tablet(that isn't built like a phone) got water under the screen... That means tablet wasn't sealed properly no?

Technology that was not designed to be waterproof may not play nice with that. I'm not saying that nothing will work with it, I'm just saying that it may not be the best idea in all cases.

Ugh. I have not made a video for this to this day. This is a dead thread and I apologize. My plan worked to an extent. It stayed waterproof and charged normally, but was cumbersome to use because of the odd shrink-wrap feel of the case.

With the battery cover wrapping slightly around back it helps with side grip so no need to do the sides. Plus I didn't wanna cover the brushed metal plastic trim.

Common sense would say if you're going to do this, you should take a fine grain sandpaper and lightly go over the entire back before you plasti dip it. If it's like any other synthetic dip, it will adhere 10x's better over time, if it has some texture to grab onto...
Unless it chemically fuses to the hyperglazed surface...it will eventually start to peel...one would think.
Well I did the same to my Gnex and the plastidip came off from the edges after a few days.
Then went ahead a did a full paint job :0

Oh yeah of course it would make it stay much longer i agree, but the point of using plastidip is that it doesnt affect the surface your putting it on AT ALL. And that it is easily removable and cheap....comes off? Reapply.

This! I did it with the intention of removing it later once I find the right case that I like. I had left over plasti dip so it didn't cost me anything. But tbh I think I really like it and might make it permanent . Probably gonna throw on clear on top to make it more durable.

That looks way better than I thought it would, much nicer than the fake eBay cases. It looks like they took the front off a seidio obex, and the back looks really cool. Wish the picture had a white phone in it. This might be enough to get me to sell my obex.
Looks a bit big - and I am not sure about a case that costs so much. I have a Vertex case and it seems to do the trick - though I do tend to avoid taking dips in water.
how would this deal with heat issues. since no air goes in and out if ones phone overheats and heat does not escape . would it mean its your screwed?

Wow finally..I've been anticipating this forever
Well we all said that the Galaxy S4 would be out before this got out...
So that just goes to show that all of the Lifeproof cases on eBay are complete nonsense so far.
The interesting thing is that OtterBox owns Lifeproof. Yes folks who think I've lost my mind, they acquired them a few month ago. Press Release here.
For people that knew that, oh well...
But are we going to see OtterBox LifeProof Nuud Actives or something strange?

They use the same design for their iPad cases.
They've also released a new iPhone 5 case on this design.
I'm wondering if all those Chinese cases were prototypes that got "taken" from the assembly line or they just released them since they have an actual case out now. The knockoffs had "patent pending" on them.
Or, more likely, someone got hold of the molds, or, there were a few 'after hours' production runs made at the factory.
Not unusual at all in the toy molding business, so I don't think that this would be any different.
The knockoffs look like the iPhone LifeProof. The real LifeProof is the nuud or however you spell it which is different and has no built in screen protector.
