Check them out. On par with otterbox and IMHO better, but that is easily debatable. Ive had Ballistics for all Iphones, the HTC One X, and I have ordered one for S3.
Good company and even better product.

Which Ballistic case did you end up getting? I'm interested in the SG (not MAXX) as it was very well reviewed for the HTC One X. I just ordered one for my One X and am thinking about getting one for my S3, if the quality/fitment is on par with the One X version.

I saw them at the ATT store. Its the MAXX version and it was god awful imo. Screen protector doesn't seem to fit to well. Let us know if you end up liking it. In fact give us a full review telling us your thoughts! I like to see what people think about other cases. Even if I didn't enjoy it.
I bought the Maxx case, love it. But the screen protector did not fit well, & made the screen appear grainy. Ditched the screen protector and couldn't be happier with the case & holster.
I actually prefer the Maxx case over the standard SG series because of the port plugs for the usb port & headphone jack.

The second most important thing, (after the phone of course) when buying a phone, to me is accessories! I love 'em and they definitely influence my decision on which phone I'm gonna purchase. I made this thread for people who share a similar interest like me to their accessories. So, share your personal favorite accessory brands/items for your phones! This could also help out some unfortunate people having a hard time deciding between accessories.
Mine Are....
• Screen Protector
Brand- Steinheil: Their screen protectors are the best out their, although pricey ($13.99 for clear & olephobic, $16 for fine), they offer 3 options (oleophobic, ultra clear & ultra fine). My favorite is the ultra clear
• Cases
Brands- Case-Mate, Otterbox, Speck, Incipio
Of the 4, case-mate is probably the cheapest if you don't posses an iPhone. Their cases, to me, kinda imitate the others cases in a way but with their own twist. They have a lot of creative designs as well. I love all their silicone cases. Vroom series being my favorite. Otterbox is my favorite of the 4. They have the best protective cases out on the market (Their also is Trident. I hear Trident cases are good but they look bulky/ugly & i've never owned one). The defender is the most protective which is a hard polycarbonate outer shell which a silicone case wraps around. Then, you have Speck. I love their pixel skins which are really thick silicone cases with a checkerboard pattern engraved throughout the case. I also love their Candy shell's which are hard colorful glossy cases with a soft silicone layer on the inner part. Then there is Incipio, with their wild and thick, gaudy Dermashot cases which are all silicone. I prefer their extremely thin low profile Feather cases to case-mates Barely Their. I think their much higher quality and fit better.
Well, there you have it. Anyone else care to share?
I think Clarivue makes the best screen protectors

I have tried theirs, and they are really good. But, I think the Steinheil ones have a better texture and are a little more "not there" feeling.
All I got is a bodyglove case and a car charger. Thats all my local AT&T store has for now.

I'm using the Incipio Feather case (RadioShack) which I don't mind, but I would like to get an Otterbox Commuter. I only use anti-glare screen protectors which AT&T carries for the Atrix. I also use a Motorola external battery pack that I picked up at a Verizon store. Also, Verizon carries a Droid X Extended Battery (Motorola BH6X) which just happens to be the same one that the Atrix uses, so I have a spare battery as well.

Yeah, just google "Droid X Extended Battery" or "Motorola BH6X" and you should find it cheaper online. Just make sure it is the BH6X model number.
If you do get it from Verizon, it will be the one that comes with an extra back plate for the Droid X.

It's the same, exact battery. Same model number and size (1880/1930mAh)
I just bought the Otterbox Impact for my Atrix.
It's the first case I've ever bought for a phone. I wanted something that would protect it in case the phone slipped out of my hand. It came with a screen protector and I'm not too critical about the quality of those since I haven't used it for that long, so it's fine for now.

Ordered the same case, cost more in the UK lol
i've had seidio cases on my 2 previous phones and i loved them. fitmet and quality is great and provides awesome protection.
http://www.seidioonline.com/category-s/7709.htm
i have been wondering if they were going to make cases for the note since it was first launched in october, and i guess they started to work on cases since the at&t note launch. i can't wait!
I loved my Seidio Active Case with kickstand for my Sensation! Trying to decide to jump ship and get this or the Casemate POP! case as I like the kickstand better on the Casemate and the overall feel and protection, but it's a bit bulkier.

I don't understand why they stopped making holsters for "naked" devices?! I've been waiting months on one for my GNex and now waiting on one for the Note. Personally never been a fan of cases on my phones plus I use car mounts from ProClip for both phones which can't be used with cases.

I was waiting for them to make a holster for naked device too..
I talked to the customer service and the one they have now is not for naked devices.
Surprising that no one makes one for naked devices.
ughh I dont like the active case as it adds too much bulk but the bigger thing is when you click the active case into the holster you have to pull the handle back to snap it in because it just gets stuck on the rubber part of the case at the top.
I loved the surface case combo for my EVO and really bummed they are not offering it.
Has anyone purchased this case? I'm going to either buy this one or the case-mate tough case. But I don't know which one to buy!
How thick does this case make the phone?
I saw a couple of "unboxings" on youtube, but they weren't really good.
Can anyone post any images or talk about the case? Thanks a bunch
I don't know how many of you guys are aware of UAG, but they make HANDS DOWN the best cases. I reached out to them a week or so ago and they said they have no plans on making a case for the Moto X. That needs to change. We all need to pester them on Facebook and through their website so they can see what kind of demand there is for a case for the Moto X, and I wish to enlist all of you to help me in my quest.
Here is their FB link- https://www.facebook.com/UrbanArmorGear
and here is their website- http://blog.urbanarmorgear.com/connect-with-uag/
- Click the "I have a suggestion" tab and let them know we want a case!
For those of you who haven't been acquainted with their products, here is my review of their HTC One case (which they linked to on their website!)-

I sent them a shout out. I've been wanting a UAG for a long time, but no love for the GN. In the meantime I picked up a Trident Cyclops that I actually really dig. Picked one up off of eBay for 29.99. I had a Trident Kraken on the GN and enjoyed it. Cases are built well, and offer good phone protection.

That's a slick looking case, especially in blue. Is it as bulky as it looks though?
Sooo... it looks like UAG is going to be making a case for the Moto X after all. They kinda said it without saying it here-
Hi Brad,
We are listening we are launching several new products and designs and are looking ahead. Thanks for reaching out and considering UAG as armor for your Moto X! It seems like a natural match.
Kind Regards,

I don't think we have anything to worry about. When you put their response in context with the email I sent them, it's a pretty surefire thing. I rocked the white on my iPhone 5 and on my HTC One, and I will certainly be rocking the white on my Moto X.
Here was my email to them-
I know I have asked you guys on Facebook if you were planning on making a case for the Moto X and you said no, but I was hoping you guys have taken note of the growing popularity of the phone and possibly reconsidered. I really think you guys will sell a lot of them, considering you make hands down the best cases on the market. Last time around I did a review of your case for the HTC One on xda developers (_MetalHead_) and it was met with an overwhelmingly positive response. Many people purchased the case after reading that review. I will gladly do another review of the Moto X case, should you decide to make one, and I guarantee we will get the same reaction. You guys make a wonderful product, you just need to expand your offerings to cover more devices. Lets start with the Moto X!

So. I was poking around on their site and I found their newest iPhone 5c case: http://www.urbanarmorgear.com/products/maverick
I do not doubt that there will be, at least, this version for the moto x. Since we have multiple colors, they will look for the most cost-effective way to make a matching color scheme for the case. The best option would be to make a clear one. Although I would most definitely choose white again, I will gladly settle if they only release a clear version.

God I hope that's not all they give us. I NEED a Navigator for my Moto X. I am not a fan at all of the clear one, it completely defeats the industrial aesthetic of their standard case.

Well I am coming from the GNex with extended battery plus Kraken case. That was a pretty bulky phone not gonna lie as you had a layer of TPE followed by the hard plastic. The Cyclops on my X still feels pretty awesome without ungodly bulk, It still is overall a rather thin phone, and I think it fits better in my hands as I have big hands.

I ended up buying a blue one and it came yesterday. It's a decent case but it does add a little too much bulk for my liking. I do like how it maintains a semi-thin profile but I don't like how wide it is. I'm probably going to use it while at work for now, but once the UAG case comes out then it'll probably get tossed in a drawer never to be seen again.

I know the feeling as I have 3 or 4 rugged GNex cases laying around trying to find the right one. I will definitely be trying out the UAG case whenever it hits the market. I just went with the Cyclops as I don't use Otterboxes, and that was about the only rugged case outside of Ballistic. My profession require that I have a rugged case and screen protector at all times.

Me too. I love UAG cases. I have one for my Note 2 and used the holster from Seidio Convert add-on kit.
I originally thought it would be a no brainer on which case to get. I was going to go with Otterbox. But many reviews say the quality is subpar. So now I'm looking at Ballistic. But I'm unsure which one. The Sg and Sg Maxx are essentially the same except for the screen protector and holster. I like the idea of the very protective screen protector on the maxx, but I'm afraid it will diminish the screen quality too much. I can't help but wonder if I would be better off with the plain Sg and a Zagg.
Then there is the hard core series. In the past, I've always wanted the maximum protection for my smartphones. They've always been wrapped in defenders or krakens. However, I'm very easy on phones. In the year I owned my Droid X, I dropped it once (while in a defender). And in the past year with my razr maxx, I've never dropped it (knock on wood). So now I'm beginning to wonder if I really need so much protection. Part of me says no, but the other part says that nobody plans on dropping their phones, but accidents happen. And when they do, it's always better to be protected.

you can get a ballistic sg max and use it without the screen plastic. Thats the way i used mine when i had it
Did you quit using it because of how it made the display look? How bad did it hurt the display? Worse than the built in protector on the defender or kraken?

Got an S4 for the wife and she drops phones so she needs a good case. Going through the S4 forum many people liked UAG and from the pics I hated it, but it had a lot of good reviews and many liked it better than the OB Commuter (which she has on her SII).
So I bit the bullet and ordered it from Amazon with Prime shipping, got it yesterday and I am amazed on how it looks and feels. Very jealous that she has this case on her phone now because it really does just fit perfect.
I also ordered a Spigen slim armor for my N5 at the same time and I have it on my phone for a day, it is ok but nothing special. I have been using the official Google case and LG flip case for a while but returned them for quality reasons. The Spigen is not much smaller than how the official Google case fits, I was expecting it to feel slightly smaller. I really cannot find the right case for my N5, I suspect it is because of the shape of our phone.
If UAG makes a case for any other phone you use, I recommend trying them out.

Had UAG on my HTC One and iPhone 5S and it's the best case I've ever used hands down. I'm the guy that gets a new case has it on for a week and takes it off because I can't stand the feel of a case. I had the UAG on my phones for the entire time I had the phones. EXCELLENT quality case.

I have to say that this is how I feel right now with her S4 and the UAG case, the thought had crossed my mind to give her my N5 and I will keep the S4... lol
But seriously, the UAG is freaking awesome, they really got it right with their cases.
Maybe, just maybe they will make one for the N5... (crosses fingers)

The Nexus 5 exists.
Aside from that, focus on talking about the UAG case and not hijacking it!
The UAG looks sweet!
I completely agree, I had a UAG case for my Note 2 and I loved it. I'd get one for the N5 in a heartbeat if it was available.
I either emailed them or used a contact form on their site, can't remember which, a while ago and got no response.
I have to agree. I had it on my s4 and it was the best case I ever used. Stylish yet very sturdy and protective.

UAG makes hands down the best cases. I had one for my iPhone 5 and for my HTC One. I also bought one for every one of my coworkers last year. I wrote a review of the case for the One back before they were so popular and they still have it on the main page of their site. Pretty neat, IMO. I've been nagging them regularly to make a case for both the Moto X and the Nexus 5. Nothing would make me happier to have a UAG for at least one of my phones.
Yeah I agree. I bought the UAG casing for my HTC One and it's hands down the best phone casing that I have used yet. Hope that they release a N5 version too.
I prefer the toughcase, better grip and protection, slightly less bulk. Agree that either is better than the Otterbox, frankly I think Otterbox is getting out Otterboxed by several competitors nowadays. People who like the UAG cases might do well to check out the Dilex, not as good as either in my opinion but pretty close and probably the best case of the type out now. And another that is better than a commuter IMO.
