Love mine i bought mine at at&t for half price cost me 17.00 it was for the Samsung infuse but the epic touch is the exact same phone so it fits perfectly. They also have one just like the otter box with the built in screen protector and clip. It runs 50.00

How did you get it for 1/2 price?
It is NOT the exact same phone, one has squared off edges, and the other one has rounded off edges..
I went to the ATT store and tried the HC case, and it did NOT line up properly; the volume buttons were slightly off, and did not work properly..
The gel case might work, but I didn't try it, since at the time, I was only interested in the HC case..

ive read that the mic hole doesnt line up on the infuse case

I heard the same about the infuse my buddy has one is there a retail store we can buy these at yet or is it on line only i hate not having a good case

ATT "corporate" stores will have them
and, if the sg case mic hole doesn't line up, you can always punch a hole in the case to make it work

Sprint corporate stores will have these soon.

I'd like to buy it, but I think I'll wait for it to show up on Amazon. Goballistic wants too much money for shipping. ($7.95) Granted, I've got Amazon prime so I think I'm a little spoiled with $3.99 next day shipping.
How would this case compare with the Case Mate Tough Armor case? I've got that case with a Skinomi carbon fiber wrap underneath it.

This is the one I've been waiting for. Hope they have a compatible holster.
I used a Ballistic HC case on my Evo when biking and hiking. Major overkill but my phone could survive any drop, and rain was no concern. I'd prefer that to the SG, but this will be great for general use.
Thanks for the heads up.

Anyone find a compatible holster for this? Seidio? Mods?

I had this case and it is a beast. However with no built in screen protector dust gets inside the case to easy. I work in construction and have the white gs2 and everyday when i got home i had to clean the phone in case. I now have the otterbox defender. The case is awesome.

Ballistic SG Case? UPDATED w/Review and PICS on pg. 2

This looks similar to the Ballistic SG style cases for half the price. I was wondering if anyone might have gotten this one yet?

Wow that does look like the ballistic one, well the nexus s anyway. Theirs isn't out yet though. I think the preview picture of the ballistic one shows more rounded bumpers at the corner with a more contouring look. I know it will add a lot of bulk but I put the ballistic on my nexus s I gave my wife (she's hard on phones) and it looks and feels great. Build quality on it is amazing, great protection and it actually makes it easier to hold and type on!

I'm probably gonna get one this week and I'll post a review on it sometime next month in this thread.

Yea there pretty much imitations of the Ballistic SG case. But they do a pretty good job in protection but they aren't as high quality as the Ballistic. If you want more colors
Triple Layer with Colors
Dual Layer with Colors

Liking my cruzer lite but I have the genuine ballistic on my wife's hand me down nexus s. That thing is amazing and coverage is full with a good ghost armor screen protector. It adds a ton of bulk though. Just wish it was a little thinner. Great quality. I'll probably get one when they come out for the galaxy nexus for trips... but this is already a huge phone. A case between the sgp and the ballistic would probably be the perfect balance. Hard to find one that fits the GSM extended battery though. That's the clincher as I'm not giving up my 6 hours of screen time. This phone is just amazing. Takes 2 hours to charge too.

Anyone else have them yet? id like to buy one if possible.

Check the links posted above. I for the black silicon/white hard shell case and I love it. Definitely more protection than my commuter series. Only one hitch though, no room for extended battery but trust me the protection is worth it

As promised here is my review of this case. As stated it is a similar to the ballistic sg series cases, but with a much smaller price tag. The case itself is a 2 piece case containing and soft inner silicone and a outer hard shell. The edge of the silicone comes just over the edge of the housing on the device and meets the edge of most wet install screen protectors. My phone has already survived 2 drops which I'm sure that without the case it would've definitely been broken and I even question if it would have made it in my otterbox commuter. Once was out of my lap on the concrete from inside my car, the other was down a flight of stairs in the hospital. It took the abuse fine with no physical damage to the phone. Extended battery is definitely a no go. The case fits extremely snug on the LTE version. It actually looks more gsm design due to the fact 3 prong connectors do not line up with the cut out (off by about 1mm). I definitely recommend this text to someone wanting more protection than just a TPU case but not wanting to shell out the cash for some of the more expensive cases.

[POLL] [DISCUSSION] What case do you currently use on your phone ?

What case do you currently use on your phone?
It is very curious to understand why users prefer some types of cases to others.
What is the difference?
What brands would you suggest, and why do you prefer it?

I used otter box on my moto photon 4g, but I stopped using it recently as the weather is getting much hotter, it seems to retain a lot of heat and my phone constantly shuts off at random in my pocket as I'm out in the sun most of the day... I still left the screen protector on it and it works pretty good... just no case
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium

Trident Kraken for my Evo 4g, similar to otterbox but much cheaper.

For my HD7, i use two different case :
Soft sillicon case at home, only to prevent small contacts
Leather case (HTC Branded) for when i'm out !

Naked! My Xperia X8 handles everything!!! Mohahaha!!!

I use cheap cases typically from eBay. I currently have a rubber/silicon one and a hard snap-on one that I use. I switch them out when I get noted with the feel of one of them.

I used to use silicon cases, but I have been trying leather cases lately. There are actually nice leather wallet cases, surprisingly!

I use silicon case, just for make sure my phone are safe from any accident

Current is plastic case with flip.
Next, I looking for "Super water-dust-atomic-bomb protected case"

Got an otterbox on this thing. Working in a rebar factory, it's almost a must have now.

I have a Seidio active two piece case for my epic 4G Touch.. I love it and great protection not too much bulk.. Was only 30 plus a holster.. Most cases cost that much for cheap plastic bag crap

You could add one more option to the pool, TPU+PC , one example is Momax iCase Pro i have been using one for several months now and it is very good, still looks like brand new, and offers great protection my phone fell off several times and only a little scratch on the case.

I'm not using any case, i haven't found any enough comfortable

I use a silicon Otter Box

this one. only 14€

my captivate is naked atm. Though without the case, it really can take a beating. Dropped it at least 20 times by now and not a scratch on the screen.

Otter box defender is my choice.

Otterbox defender for when i go to school, and when I am at home, I swith to my hard plastic incase case for my iPhone. My droid incredible is always naked. And so is my tablet.

idea
yaa its a very nice idea

I have a silicon case for my Samsung Galaxy Player 5, i prefer silicon over other materials because it's most flexible, easy to put on or take off, water resistant unlike leather and doesn't break if twisted like plastic.

Opinion on cases?Silicone,TPU,hard,something else?

Hey there guys...i just ordered my s3 and i saw a few videos where the s3 screen breaks very easily!
I also read the silicone cases or the TPU ones provide excellent shock resistance so i'm thinking of buying one!
What do you think?Which case will provide more protection to my phones screen? (i'm only intrested on not breaking the screen,the scratches etc are lower priority...)
I also ordered an InvisibleShield not that it'll make much difference but i'm just sayin'...

For me.. Both!
There are some cases that has both soft (mostly tpu) and hard frames stacked together for better protection. I'm thinking getting SGP Neo Hybrid when it's released. I believe someone post this video somewhere. But, I couldn't find any image of it. I used it for my galaxy s2, and it was bomb.

Since I haven't met my 10 post count yet I can't link
I'm using one of the Rocks Sand series cases that I picked up locally for ~10 USD. Big fan of the texture, very easy to grip and it doesn't look bad at all with my pebble blue S3.
One of the biggest bonuses I think is that the headphone jack up top isn't obstructed as it was with some of the previous rubber cases I used with my S2. Headphones with right angle plugs had problems being inserted firmly.

I bought 3 ebay tpu cases for my galaxy s3 and they all have horrible fitment =(...stay away from them

Just got my first case. $5 and it feels like it. Very. Thin, has what appears to be decent grip on the side but hard to tell without the phone. I bought it for the kickstand but it feels pretty cheesy to say the least. It won't even hold itself straight up on its own. If it works well with the actual phone I'll take the time to update my feelings about it.

Trident Kraken Disappointing

Had a Kraken for a whopping two days but not impressed at all compared to Griffin Survivor. The outer hard shell is far too slippery and to top it off broke easily when I removed it (wasn't being ham-fisted).
I've got an Otterbox Defender on the way (have always had Otterbox on my previous phones) to see if the silicon shell distorts over a short period of time.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app

that sucks. you shoudl email trident and see waht they could do. i've had mine since aug, dropped it MANY times. include surviving perhaps a 4meter drop when i was in ibiza lol
i also take it off on a regular basis when i switch out the batt and so far so good.

Glad i didnt buy the kraken yesterday then

I've had my kraken for months with no issues, handled 100's of drops from various heights on various surfaces. I'm getting the Griffin survivor just because I like the design better.

I am with you i love the otterboxs.... There customer service is great and will replace your case with no questions asked... As for Trident i had one for my e4gt and had same problem also on replacing your trident case its like trying to get into fort knocks lol... Meaning they need this and that to replace it...

I loved the Kraken for the i9100, too many angles on the i9300 plus the buttons are way to sensitive. Driving with my otterbox for now.

Love the kraken on my S3. Not a problem with it. Now, the windshield mount is a different story - broke within a month. Very cheaply made.

As you have the griffin survivor, can i ask you to post a mini review of it please? I am looking to buy it and some pictures and your opinion would be a big help

I had the Otterbox Defender and I was disappointed. I switched to the Case Mate Phantom and couldn't be happy. The OB Defender's quality went way down since I had one on my Atrix 4G.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app

Aside from it breaking somewhat prematurely, I also found the Kraken far too slippery to handle and its buttons too sensitive. Otterbox has arrived as well as a couple of 4300maH batteries so will be doing the Otterbox chop job!
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app

Just for the record tho, those who have experienced silicon stretch on the Otterbox, what colour case was it? My missus had a pink Defender on her iPhone4 that stretched so I wonder if the non-black rubbers are more prone??

leather hoster
Hey guys quick help i have been looking around and still haven't had any luck. Im looking for a leather holster for the trident kraken case for the gs3.
im not really a big fan of the phone clips or belt clips, I want the krakken but i need a big enough holster thanks guys :fingers-crossed:

I havent had any issues with them
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

I know it is for a different phone. But I am on my third kraken case for the thunderbolt. First time they asked me to ship it back.
second time they just sent me a new case.
The way the cases attach the tabs were very weak and broke after the first removal.
I do say it protects my phone from drops.
if it just wasn't so fragile.

Day 3 with Otterbox Defender... couldn't stand the cr4p screen protector so ripped it off. Also, done the extended battery case chop. It's a bit of an ugly mod and fit isn't perfect but it's gone 40hrs since last charge!
