Hi
Im working within Construction and my brand new s3 is screaming for protection.
I have been lookin around for some "Work" cases. I have found otterbox defender, but its just pre order and i need a good case right now.
Is there something like otterbox defender for about the same price or lower that is better?
Are There any BIG pouches like krussel has that fits the s3 AND a normal case (NOT work case) ?
Regards
Hooterz
You can purchase the Defender from Amazon, now. The commuter is also a good option.
Maybe this too:

Thanks very much for your answer!
What is the diffrence between defender and commuter? Have you ever had an otterbox shell or case yourself? would you recommend it?
Thanks

If you're from the US do check out www.pure-gear.com too. Some of their cases look like they can survive through a Nuclear Apocalypse.

That seems like the kind of case that I want to get for mine. Have you noticed if the screen protector gets dust or dirt under it? I know all of my otterbox cases had a bad problem of that.

Check out the Trident Kraken. That thing looks serious. I'm a firefighter and it's even a little to much for me. I'm very careful with my phones and I can't stand adding bulk to such a nice looking phone.

The ballistic sg maxx is a nice case and the plastic screen cover fits much tighter to the screen than the otterbox. Still it will let dust in though and it makes the screen look like crap. I took mine off snd have an hd screen protector on it.
Also ordered a pure gear 260 case so well see how that one is.

I'm in the UK myself but would be interested in the Pure Gear cases. I sent them an e-mail to see if they have any resellers or distributors in the UK or anywhere else in Europe but as yet no reply.

I wish Seidio brought back some of their other colors like sage, white, etc.
Anyone have one of these yet? If so, how is the fit around the phone? This is a case I'm considering. My only real beef with most of the s2 cases are either they don't fit snugly around the small part that seperates between the bezel and the glass, and they all seem to be major lint magnets. Just curious how this one stacks up.
From Seidio when I asked about a coupon:
@gideonx We should have some good #promos and #sales for the holidays in the next few weeks!

Cibo Case,
http://tinyurl.com/a89v4kb
I got this case in clear. it's been awesome. the sides have this grippy texture that makes it tougher to slip out of your hands. i've dropped my phone countless times so far onto concrete & the floor and the case saved it from scratches on the display or sides each time. another great thing is the case doesn't add that much to the overall thickness.

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 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.

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.

Ya I bought one of the HTC cases knowing it was an issue. Thought I could just be careful with it. Lasted one day. Couldn't stop thinking about it. All I could think about was my beautiful black one being scratched up everytime I moved. I took it back the next day and ordered a poetic atmosphere case.
On the subject of the otterbox, I used a commuter otterbox on my evo lte and was very pleased with it. I hate the bulky defender case but the commuter really doesn't add much to it. Just an fyi and sharing my personal opinion.

How did you "pop out" the built in protector? I thought it was glued?
I'm using a defender, but have ordered the Tuff as Nuts model. I think I might go ahead and get rid of the external protector, since dust gets under there.
I plan to go commando, or nearly that, depending on if a thin TPU case will work with the "nuts" model - they are really stiff when new. I had one a while back for a different phone - great protection.

Yeah, I really liked it back on my HD2, but it does need to be sealed all around to be effective. The odd thing is that they got it right on the top, but not the bottom.
If u r gunna pop the screen protector out why not just go with the commuter. It's less bulky, just sayin.

Has anyone tried to install a different screen protector on it? I want to remove my built in screen protector for the same reason of getting dust under. I still have the Zagg screen protector I got free from best buy but I don't really like the feel of it and the onion peel of it. I was thinking on getting a spigen screen protector, I wonder if the Glas slim protector from spigen will work with the defender? Let me know if anyone have tried this combination.
