Got mine today. It's pretty awesome. The molded screen protector is a great feature. I will likely use it when I am outdoors playing, but switch back to my Rock case when I am lounging indoors.
The belt clip is another great addition. I would take this case over an Otterbox ANY day. It doesn't make it nearly as big and boxy.

Sorry I am out on the lake all weekend, so pictures are out until I get back on Sunday.

How easy is it to remove and put back on and stuff? Surely fairly easy seeing as you're switching between the Rock and the SG?
yeahmon, do you use the Ballistic in a car holder, if so, can you provide pics of this also when you get the chance ?
Thanks in advance for the picture

I just ordered mine. This case has a hard shell screen protector, that is an awesome feature. I have been an Otterbox fan since the iPhone 3G, but this case looks like it will take the cake. :highfive:
Ordered wondering how long it will take to get to UK also they say the screen protector is replaceable is there a re order ref in the box with the case as I don't see anything on the site ? TIA

There was nothing in the box but the case, and a Ballistic decal. The screen protector is flexible plastic. I will add that it distorts the screen a bit if you look at it a certain way. Nothing offensive, but worth noting. Almost like a 3D LCD. It's weird to describe.
I'm assuming you will be able to order them on their website soon. The case was just released a day or two ago.
I have terrible 3G reception where we are camping,so forgive me if my replies take awhile. It took 6 hours to send the first reply yesterday.

I'm already beginning to dislike the plastic screen protector. It seems to be creating a lot of false touches, which causes me to have to use the back button a LOT. It may have to come off and see how it works without it.
I have officially pulled the screen protector off. It was causing WAY too many touch errors. I like nekkid screen better.

I have had this case on the whole time. I forgot about my Rock case. This phone just feels right with this case. It's easy in my hand, and I dropped it onto the kitchen floor, and and it just bounced a little. I about freaked out, but my S3 lives.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
thanks for the continuous updates. pretty helpful to see how the case turns out in the long run.
i decided not to go for ballistic or commuter
went ahead to preorder a trident kraken ams. for the price (31 shipped to the US), design and protection i think its the best of the 3. if it doesnt work out ill go for a commuter before ballistic.
I had to remove the Ballistic. Everyone was complaining about not being able to understand me on the phone. The mic is such a tiny hole on the bottom of the phone, it seemed the rubber hole was preventing my voice from carrying. I put the Rock case back on, and the problem is solved. I would imagine this could be the results for any case that covers the bottom of the device.

I was looking at the ballistic at the mall the other day. Liked it. hated the screen protector off the gate, but with a regular protector it was nice. Didn't even think about the mic issue.. Will have to investigate that one.. kind of big deal to be able to have people hear you.
Make the phone look super ugly

Wish the pics were better so I could see what it really looked like...I cant quite make out the pattern on the back. Looks like a weave look near the top, not sure if that carries on down the entire back or not. Any one have a link to pics with better lighting, or even better...a video? Thanks for sharing, it looks nice but not sure if I can spend $20 for just a silicone case....

I bought the Commuter....meh....it's ok. Got my Impact today and I think I've found the case for me. love it so far.
I like the case. It's pretty much what i've been looking for in terms of having good protection without the bulk. I'll try to post pics later.
Edit: pics. not great...but you get an idea.

it's thicker than your normal silicone case but I think the Seidio (I have the Surface) makes the phone bulkier. The impact at least is more form fitting and doesn't add as much bulk. I will say that the Impact adds more screen protection than the Commuter. You can lay it face down with less worries.
Does the impact case collect lint and dust like the commuter?
How deep does the camera recess look, since you have it would you mind looking from the side?
Just got home (late night at work) and LOVE it! Great case, I had the body glove case till it broke around the volume rocker. This case solves the button area issues perfectly. My wife also really likes the way it fits and looks, so it's not just me either.

yep...not sure what the other guy was referring to wishing it fit tighter. It's snug. As far as lint, I haven't had a silicone case that didn't collect lint in the beginning. Then after a few days lint is usally not a problem.

more to come after i smoke it over...
the case came in a plane jane white box. inside is the invoice and then the case was wrapped in bubble wrap. nothing fancy but no one needs fancy packaging anyway.
the case was bigger than i thought however the phone fits in the case just nicely.
included is an instruction card, the "squeegee card", screen protector, and cleaning cloth.
i am NOT a fan of the kickstand. its plastic and it can break off if you hyper extend it.it "snaps" into place in its "docked" position. when you pull the kickstand out, there is no positive "click" or lock mechanism to let you know its out.
the silicon shell feels like the sprint silicon case. it has a rubber cover over the hdmi and usb ports. as for the camera, leds, speaker in back, there is a plastic piece covering those up. so keep this clean of debris when you want to snap a photo.
overall the case is a winner for me. it is indeed rugged and solid feeling.
Get that beast on your phone. Waiting on pics patiently, for now.

its thick! i just dropped it thigh! high (as opposed to waist level--too scared) face first and it still works normally thus far. the holster is nice and its BIG! lol. the case can fit in the holster with or without the silicon jacket. the phone sits in the thing nicely..reminds me of a panasonic toughbook.
if there is a specific photo you want to see, let me know and ill snap one. the video of the case at the website pretty much shows the case in real life.
i can tell you the red accent style case will be dynamite!
there is a separate screen protector you can apply yourself AND the top part of the case that snaps onto the..well.. top has a built in screen protector, which is absolutely nice IMO...

I had a similar one on my Asus Transformer. The back on that is far more textured than the E4GT and it stuck just fine.
I'll post pics once I get it installed. Maybe a video of me trying to install it just for lulz.

I put it on, and took it off. Hated it. Im going to stop dealing with these cheap skins and screen protectors. Going to just spend the money to get the legit one from Steinheil. I have went through like $10 in these cheap protectors.
I put this entire one on on Saturday night....took it off Sunday during Sunday Night Football.

Got the crystal. I read on the other thread that you barely get fingerprints and all that. Plus I want to keep that sexy clarity
got mine, and installed it, and, actually, its a lot nicer than I thought..
I also got that combo holster/black case from the sprint store, and, the phone fits with the complete cover into the case; so, the phone is completely covered with that clear protective material, and, the case is providing additional protection..
I figure between the 2 things, I should be pretty well protected until Ballistic releases their case for this thing soon..
In for one. Looking for basic cheap skin for the moment.

All the local stores I went to (the same one that wouldn't activate the phone for my SERO-P plan) have 1 or 2 of them in stock. If you are really desperate for it, you can always order it from Sprint's website
I am using one of these right now and it's not bad for the price, good enough to last me until something better comes out.
odd....thats the first time ive seen the case on the sprint site....and ive been checking often.....
and here's what the otterbox site tells me. ( ive also tried on multiple computers, devices, and browsers)

I stopped by my local best buy and got the Rocketfish case. not bad....fits well. in the comment section there was a debate as to weather or not this case was for the at&t or sprint model. its marked as an at&t case, however people with that phone said it didnt fit at all. those who had the sprint version said it fit. and it does. On a side note, the case does have a cut out that looks like it would be for the SD card on the at&t model, which is misleading. though i find the slot to be useful cause you can use a dime or penny to pop the case off. if you dont do that its a pain in the butt to get it undone.
I also have a little concern about the phone getting too hot in the case. after a half hour / hour of playing FPS / Driving games it gets really hot. I may end up moding the case and cutting the back out to make it a "bumper" style case
@Ryocho - thanks for the offer ! gonna see how this case does and see if anything else comes out.
I will say though, i do like the otterbox screen protector, worked out great for my evo. and i dont think they sell them seperate.....

I use this case as well , was kinda bored on the lack of case's we carry at sprint so I did some mix matching......... I know I know its hot pink but hey im good I got a hot lil mexican so im secure with it lol
Oh yea I used the factory shield at first but that high gloss plastic scratches real quick so I cut an S3 invisishield to fit , works for now

Car Mount/Holster
Just grabbed the Otterbox and everything is great, two questions though.
Besides the sprint generic, has anyone found a good car mount that fits with the case on?
Has anyone found a holster that fits? My hope is i can find a holster that is sideways with the clip at the top and I can slightly modify the case to snap into place.
If i find anything I'll be sure to pass it on!

I highly recommend this mount. The one hand operation is really convenient.
Is that mount guaranteed to fit? I would get it if I had that verification haha.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using Tapatalk 2
^^ I am 99% sure it will fit, since reviews say it will fit a s3 with otterbox case, but tight. And with my currently naked optimus G there's about 1/4 inch space on both sides when the arms are fully extended.
But if you have concerns you can get the galaxy note 2 version, which is guaranteed to fit a s3 with otterbox case, optimus g with otterbox should be about the same size.
I love the case. I've had it for most of my phones but my only issue is when it's on the back the plastic slides on smooth surfaces because it's so light of a phone! It's not a big issue but something to mention.
It's a good case. Just a little bulky
Cannot express how glad I am I got this case. Definitely the best case out there now. Accidently dropped my phone out of my pocket while getting out the charging cable and it fell onto concrete from about 3 feet high. And there's not a single scratch, on my phone, or the screen. Woo Otterbox!
And I normally never, ever drop my phone. My last phone only had Ghost Armor on it and one tiny ding after a year and a half. But these things happen and boy am I glad I invested in this gem!
holster
I've been looking for a holster like the defender that will fit this case but haven't had any luck. Anyone else?
Two thumbs up for this case thus far.
It is very easy to slide the phone into the case, and it requires just a little extra effort to remove it. The case is a tight fit all around. It feels sturdy and makes the phone easier to hold/grip with its more angular shape. The power button requires just a soft press, while the volume rocker requires twice the effort. The camera lens is protected and embedded ~1.5 mm within the casing.
Not sure if I am forgetting any thing else, but some pictures!

Comparing the thickness between the phone and the case (a little blurry, but you get the picture... no pun intended).
EDIT: Clearer pictures below!
I too got the case today with my Nexus =). I really liked the color and felt it was unique and a nice change from the black and white that every manufacturer seems to be pushing these days. I will agree on the buttons but nothing major. Seems like the phone will be safe should the horrific day arrive when the phone is dropped.
Cheers mates
Looks pretty cool
thanks
I bought the slim armor in black. I really appreciate the photos that you posted if you could post more close ups of the front and back I'm kind of curious about how thick the bezel is on the front mine should be here this week. Kinda wish I got champagne after seeing yours..
I love this quality and type of case. My friend has the same spigen for the S4 and I love the silicon/plastic style case on it. Good to see they made one for the N5.
Thanks for the pictures - mine is being shipped to me we speak . From what you've described/shown, everything looks great! Do you have a screen protector on their by chance? Wanted to know if the sides of the case make it lift off on the corners...
nice. the gold looks sharp, i was spit between that and the neo hybrid....ended up going for the neo-hybrid in gold
the white speaker dot actually looks pretty cool with a case on
FYI I noted in the other thread this case is significantly easier to put on and take off if you leave the two pieces together while doing it.

Hey, no problem. I believe you're asking to see a bird's view of the bezel with the case.
Also took some close-ups of the four sides for anyone who is curious:
Headphone port.
Charger port and speakers.
Right-side with power button.
Left-side with volume rocker.
Ordered the Black, looks like a great case. I like Spigen products.

Nice looking case!
Just a few questions...
What is the back made out of?
Does it collect dust or finger prints?
Does it slide in and out of your pockets easily?
How is the grip?

Thanks for the pictures. I'm glad they didn't go with the glossy back this time around.
I was wondering once you put this case on is it also easy removeble.
Wen i'm driving in a car i put de N5 in a car holder and with de case on i think it's to thick
for that holder.I just slide the phone in the holder.Not much space is there be left on the sides.
Does it work with wireless charger or too thick?

A gorgeous case. I don't know whether to get the white or the gold colour way, both are really appealing.
Did you have any issues with the power button as mentioned in some of the reviews on Amazon?
From past experience, does anyone know what of a case thats for people who drop their phones a lot? One thats out now or coming in the future?

I'm curious on this point too. My champagne case should be delivered soon, but as I've just splashed out on (40% off) TomTom, I'd like to be able to mount the N5 on my dash. All my phones in the past have been naked, but since I've paid for this one myself I've got the Slim Armor for "protection". Maybe it's too early for the N5, but looking at other models are there ever solutions for mounting encased phones? Will the case stand up to occasional removal in order to mount on a car dash?
Come to that, has anyone yet seen a dash mount for the N5? Preferably vent-mounted; my last screen mount was broken by an over-eager MOT tester.
Thanks for any response from a forum lurker!
