Let me first say I know that there are many different threads on this topic and if there is a few I should view please point me in the right direction as I am new to the forum.
The type of case I am looking for is ultimate protection bulk does not matter.
Things I am looking for are: a front hard screen protector like the otterbox defender and ballistic maxx
A kick stand would be great as I am doing more media
The 3 cases I am looking at are
Otterbox Defender I have heard great things about but I prefer the silicone on the inside, hard case on the outside I think that would offer more protection.
Ballistic Maxx Good looking product but no kickstand and I had one on my EVO and was not pleased with the quality but that was 2 years ago.
Seidio CONVERT I really like the protect level and kickstand but no hard screen cover.
Any other cases I should be looking at?
Any input would be much appreciated Thanks.
Trident Kraken.... But no hard screen cover. Comes with a soft replaceable one. Had a removable metal kick stand, different color cases, silicon on the inside plastic on the outside. Also you can order a few different attachments that connect to the back of the case hence the removable kickstand.

Capdase case is slim fit. Although it is not as good as the protection offered by the Ballistic case, but it is slim fit and with a free screen protector in it. Worth trying!!:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
I went with the ballistic maxx but there is no way I will use the provided screen protector. It creates a terrible sparkle effect and in my opinion wasn't even usable. I love the case though, it is easy to install/remove and protects the phone very well. The buttons are nice and the case doesn't get in the way of using the phone.
I bought a X-Gear Spectre glass screen protector and think it works well with this case. See my comments in that thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30096795&postcount=231
There are some small issues with this product but I still think it is the best currently available.

Im going to have to disagree. First lets not forget while inside the hard case your phone is also resting on some type foam cushioning that Otterbox adds inside its hard plastic. I also prefer the silicone on the outside of the case cause if you do drop your phone, your case wont get digged up. I have replaced cases cuz they gotten scuffed up after a while. Also when dropping a phone it makes such a harmless sounds when it lands on the silicone. You won't even flinch when the phone drops you'll just pick it back up and just keep on truckin along.

The kraken is one ugly case. That's not even opinion either. That's straight fact. Lol
I agree with The_Biz not only is it ugly but it lacks corner protection. So is the defender the only tough case with a kickstand?

I understand looks are a matter of opinion.
But how does it lack corner protection? There is big thick soft silicon on the corners... I have one and it's already survived a 7 foot drop and being kicked down a hall way.
And the defender's kickstand is the holster itself as where the kraken is a metal one attached to the case itself.... so with the defender you have to take the whole thing off your belt.

that video was not a real phone. It was a plastic or foam one. The few drops I've had every thing has stayed together.
But falling apart isn't a bad thing either, it's a way of dissipating the shock force.
The inner silicone layer is great protection as well.

I know when I had one for my Evo 3D there was a flap you had to open.
Let me know how the seidio case works out. I am not really concerned about screen protection in a case anyone as I plan on using the xgear spectre.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
The Seido Active is a nice case except for a couple things.
The volume buttons were a pain to press on mine (others say they don't have a problem).
The case has indentations on the sides that I thought would make it super grippy. But it's actually a little slippery.
The kickstand only works in landscape mode.
With that said, it's a great looking case that is easy to take off and put back on. And available for $27 shipped on eBay (as of last week).
Ok search narrows as I stated before I plan on using the xgear spectre screen protector.
Now just to figure out is the kraken the only heavy duty case with a kickstand?
I took a few second look at the kraken and it in fact has thicker corners than I previously thought. So definitely liking it more.

Here is a quick video review I made of the Trident Kraken vs. the Otterbox Defender for our GN:
Feel free to ask any questions you may have and I'll try my best to answer them.
I have a Defender, and it sucks for this phone. The holster security is nice, but the thing looks retarded when the phone isn't in it....
Thanks for posting the video, you have solidified my decision in buying the Kraken that comes in next week!
Good review. And yeah I agree the belt holster clip on the trident is not easy to use. A more conventional type would have been better.
Ahh I thought this would be the Kraken against the Commuter, not the Defender. I think the Defender is atrocious IMHO
Have you considered comparing these cases to the Incipio Silicrylic? I always go with Incipio when possible. Their support is amazing, their prices are reasonable, and their products look nice.

Their feather case and the silicrylic case both do not fit with the extended battery and cover on, however if you pop the back door off the Nexus both fit like normal. I'm not sure about their TPU case though.
Yeah, I decided to compare these two because they are both supposed to be heavyweight cases unlike most others on the market.
I'd probably compare the Commuter to something like the Seidio cases.
As far as the Incipio, that would probably compare with the likes of the SGP Neo Hybrid or Ultra Hybrid.
I might do something like that next.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Just got my defender today. I'll go ahead and give my 5-minute analysis. My Trident Kraken should be here early next week.
Pros:
Will protect phone very well (obviously)
Belt-clip holster is top-notch
The feel of pressing the side buttons is nice
Fantastic grip on the phone
Cons:
Dust and lint MAGNET
Hard to move in/out of pocket, might as well use the holster everywhere you go
Built-in screen protector is HORRIBLE. It makes the screen look as if it is covered in a thin layer of grease (I will be tearing this thing off)
Fairly impossible to see notification pulse if not viewing at direct angle
My GSM moves up/down inside of the case slightly (may not occur with extended battery)
Two other small gripes are that the mic hole is a bit off from where it is cut into the silicone shell (probably not a big deal, though). Also, pulling back the dust covers for access to the charging and audio port is also a small pain due to the way they open. It's essentially a two hand task (one to hold open the cover, the other to plug in) which was different from my old phone where once the cover was open, it would stay open by itself.
I will probably only use the Defender when I go to work. Other than that, I see the Kraken as being my daily case. I'll update in a few days with my opinion on it.
OP, it appears the Kraken covers up the LED notif light. Can you confirm?

the case is made for the cdma version or extend version, if you put two small bandaids on the inside of the back plastic plate it will keep your phone from shifting and avoid all scratches.

Sweet, appreciate the info. Wish I had a mill lol.
Hey guys, my S3 should be here by the end of the week, woooooooooo. But I need some help deciding on a case and was wondering if people who have tried different cases or used just one and can reccomend it could chime in. Basically I want something that will protect the phone, specifically something with a lip so when screen down the screen isn't touching the surface it's on, and basic protection of the phone, I don't drop my phone often, never dropped it on concrete, I'm not very clumsy but I still want something that'll protect my very very expensive phone. The Otterbox defended and similar cases seem like overkill for me, but the clear plastic 2mm case seem like not enough protection, so I was wondering if there was a nice middle ground that wasn't too thick and bulky but would definitely protect the phone. I've got my eye on this one http://www.goballisticcase.com/products/samsung-galaxy-s-3-ballistic-sg-maxx-series-case, any other suggestions?
Keep in mind I'm coming from a Desire Z with a thickness of 14.2 mm, the S3 feels like a piece of paper in my hand coming from that, so a little bulk doesn't bother me.

That's a nice deal for the Kraken, I like the Aegis as well, they look really nice.
I know you said the otter box is excessive but they actually have two different styles at sprint. i have the slim otter its not bulky but protects everything. I like alot due to the fact that it protects the charging port as well as the ear phone Jack. I had the s2 before and my charging port always got stuff in it like lent from my pocket or what not. The case is lined with a silicone case inside a hard shell which will stop dirt from getting inside and scratching the device as well as making it more drop resistant. It is deffinatly worth having for 30 dollars.
The otter box i have is actually smaller than the case you have posted and comes with one screen protector as well.
Here is a youtube review of the case if it dosent play just google galaxy s3 otter box commuter caae.

+1 for Otterbox Defender. Its not anywhere near as bulky as I thought it was going to be and I really like how it provides me with solid, square edges so I can prop it up on my display screen in my car dash very easily and it stays securly in place (for the most part).
Hello,
ordered my S3 couple days ago. It haven't arrived yet, but...
I was using my HTC Desire S for two years. It dropped once from pocket height (due to loose pouch) and nothing happened.
I love the feeling of naked phone. No screen protector nor cases.
However, after browsing these forums, i have feeling, that s3 is the most fragile phone ever.
Do i need case ? I don't throw my phone at regular basis or drop them on floor. But do not want to loose my 500 € investment due to one unlucky moment.
I don't affraid of tiny scratches on my display or back cover. I just don't want my screen shattered.
What do you recommend ?
Its always nice just to have a case on your phone regardless. Like you said you just spent 500 bucks on it might as well spend a bit more to keep it safe.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
What do you recommend ? There are literally tons of cases available.
Some kind of thin plastic, thin tpu, or some hardcore case like UAG or OTTERBOX ?
I will always recommend the uag its a nice well built case I also love the trident aegis its a cool protective case . I had the otter box commuter but the rubber got all stretched and crappy.

I'm very happy with Otterbox Defender which contains a screen protector and a belt holder.
I really like the look of UAG cases.
Probably will order one tonight.
Unfortunatelly i cannot decide between Black (Scout) or White (Navigator). I ordered black galaxy s3.
What color do you have ? Does it catch fingerprints or "oils" from hand ?
No its a matte finish so you can't see fingerprints on it. It also doesn't scuff easy either. As for color that really up to your preference I would go with black because it won't stain but then again its all up to what you want.

Better safe than sorry. Tgis phone is very slippery. I personally have to have a case for grip at all times. I have the zoogue at the moment and im loving it. Not much drop protection but it would protect some impact over no case at all. I have black uag and a white aswell. They are kinda slippery too but not as much. Stay away of the defender case, it will stretch and its ugly imo.

The back is plastic. That's the same exact case I got for my sisters One S, even the color, lol. And I have a similar blue one only the corners are thicker rubber. We got them so my nephew wouldn't damage our phones throwing them around. It will go in a pocket just fine if the pockets are roomy. Tight jeans might be a hassle.
Edit: Just checked the amazon link and that's the same one I have only in black. The only difference between that one and the green one is the plastic texture on the back. And the silicone corners layer is thinner on the green one, which annoys my sister as it stretched out and now the top and bottom is loose around her phone, whereas the thicker one I have holds tight and firm.
Hope that helps.

Well the d30 technology is made for impact protection(it's used in helmets, safety gear, etc) but I've never personally used it. I can verify the two piece plastic/rubber case I have definitely protects against drops, but with corners like that how could it not, lol. My phone straight up bounces when I drop it.
I've had 2 d3os, the one that was hard plastic on the back (99% of then crack) and the one that is all hard rubber. The buttons are really hard to press on either, and i think it led to a malfunctioning power button because i was pressing so hard. Great protection and doesn't come off easily. If you drop it face down i think it will protect it

The Beast from Evo claims this newfound Hybrid Armor can protect one's jewels from being thrown over 50 pes. I am very much so obliged to agree with this monstrous beast! His personal guarantee is written in stone as well.
I'm happy with my D3O case. Haven't had any major drops but it provides a nice grip when holding the phone so it's not as slick as the phone when it's naked.

Looking for max protection for outside. Been looking at otter box, but they're overpriced and was never a big fan. I have the case mate tough naked, it holds up in daily use, but since I do sports outside, I need a little bit more protection.

I have a TPU case for daily, ballistic SG case for medium protection and a trident kraken ams for when I go mountain biking and stuff like that. Now I'm thinking of getting a supcase. I have a case problem lol can you tell

I had a Trident Kracken for my last phone and although bulky I never felt worried with it at work(which could put me in places I didn't need to have an unprotected phone). I've been looking for a good case as well and may look back into the Trident series. I would check into those.
I know otterbox has their milspec version but I don't think it's out for the moto just yet. For the price though it better stop a bullet.
I bought a few really nice cases for my Moto X, but this Seidio one is my favorite.

I never had an issue fitting it in my pocket. The only issue I ever did have was that I will put stuff in zip-loc baggies when I'm riding my bike to keep the sweat off of them and the phone+case was just slightly to big to fit in one.

I'm a bit of a klutz, always dropping my Moto X. What works for me is my Zerolemon Shockproof Rugged Case, it actually has a screen protector built into the case. I haven't damaged my phone yet!

Lol. You posted after this that you have a different screen protector.
Sorry....But reporting the zero lemon salesman again.
Btw, how's your zero lemon extended battery case doing that you posted you use.....you know...the one that doesn't exist yet.
