I was thinking about getting this case cause I'm super careful with my phone so I don't need something bulky but I want something to keep the back nice and clean and I was wondering if this would be a good case for me

Hey I love the way my case looks for my Captivate, I got it from Amzer. But its getting many scratches on it. Anyone know where I can get something to protect it. A case protector perhaps.

You want a case for your case? Get a better case.
Its just a joke. I just find it funny that people buy cases to keep their phone looking good and then their cases look awful.

I have the silicrylic for my Bionic, it's a pretty sexy case. I'm sure the Xoom case is just as good.

I have two of these cases. One for me (the black and grey) and one for my wife (the pink one). We LOVE them!
I've got the black and gray one. I really like it, keeps my Xoom nice and safe.
Looks a lot like the otterbox one
How adjustable and stable is the stand? I like my Xoom at around 30 degrees from the surface it's on and if the Incipio case allows that, I might just get it.
Does this case work with a dock? I think for 50 why not just go with the otterbox?

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.

I'm not from the US so I can't order one. But they DO look mighty interesting.

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.

It comes with a user replacable screen protector i didnt like it so much so i just have my ivisor matte screen protector on now. If you go to ebay i think there like $35 shipped. Theres 4 more other colors to choose from.

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.
check ebay for pure gear there is one of the 360s on there now, i think i am gonna pick one up
And it's only 30 on eBay too and ships outside us

I swear I've seen them and now that my gf was asking I can't find it. Obviously you can mod a case, but does anyone know who makes a plastic/silicone/tpu case?
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
Likewise! I have a pretty good tpu case and I love it. However I don't have anything protecting the screen while it's in my pocket and i wish I had a tu case with just a flip cover or if i could mod my own (i know it's been done) with a tutorial. There should be magnetic flip covers that work with other cases!

I've had an Otterbox Defender for my S3 now for quite awhile. The silicone over the plastic shell always seems to stretch over time causing a loose fit. I know you can contact customer support and have a new case sent to you from Otterbox, but I figured there had to be something to tighten the silicone up. After browsing the web, I heard that if you boil the silicone for a few minutes in boiling water, it will tighten it up. I figured I'd give it a try and it actually did work, the case now fits like it did when it was new.
How long did you boil it? I stopped using my defender because of this issue
Boiled it for about 2 minutes. If your silicone is stretched too far though it won't go 100% back to normal. It will help though that's for sure!

I went with the body glove tough suit because I don't like how the otter box distorts the screen with that rainbow effect. No stretching yet but if I have that issue I'll use your idea.

It should do the trick for your case as well. Hopefully it won't stretch like the otterbox to begin with.

Done this also. But immersed only for a minute. Then went to a cup full of cold water.
Dont use tongs when getting the case off the water as it will ruin the shape of the case. As the case is sensitive when its really hot.

I had two otterbox defender cases and got fed up with the stretching, so I looked around found Ballistic SX0932-M385 SG MAXX. I'm sort of a clean freak and take off the case it always keeps a tight fix.

Ballistics sg maxx is a great case. Best drop protection imo. With them big chunky corners it just bounces back at you lol. My wife had it on hers for awhile.

HAHA BUDDY!!!! Same thing here! I love my BodyGlove ToughSuit!!! Gray/White Version Here! I got sick and tired of the OtterBox Warranty claims, however this is the first device I've had the stretching issue with an OtterBox...
I also had the same issues, solved them (temporary) by heating up the rubber in a microwave. Well, the rubber still started to stretch again after some time, I contacted Otterbox and received a brand new Otterbox Defender which still looks very good. I´ve removed the screen protector though
Ive just stopped using my defender because of this reason, and I won't buy another one again because of it.......... thought they were supposed to be the best.......
Well, unfortunately there is hardly a similar case available which 1) offers some protection and 2) looks somehow decent and fancy enough the be used on a daily basis.
There are some similar chinese cases available which also offer a hard plastic shell and some rubber around...but look in my oppinion rather ugly than a regular Otterbox Defender.
Have a look at this one : http://www.amazon.de/yuba-RoboCase-...1367166500&sr=8-2&keywords=galaxy+s3+survivor
Since the support was kind enough to me, though I bought my case used in another board and didn´t receive a invoice, I may still consider to use other Otterbox Cases with other devices.
The stretching isn't the only flaw with these cases. The clips that hold the two plastic portions together also seem to break after awhile. Guess you can't complain too much when they send another free though.
