What in the hell was Samsung thinking when they made this thing so damn shiny and smooth? I drop it on a daily basis.
I tried a silicone case from eBay, the fit was GREAT but the things like a dang lint roller. EVERYTHING sticks to it. I pick up my phone and it's covered with hair and grit, dirt, sand, you name it.
I actually have to wash my silicone case off. I actually got sick of how much stuff it picks up, I stopped using it.
I ordered a Case-Mate case last week, hoping that works out better. Hopefully it shows up tomorrow before I just return it for an iPhone 4S, ugh, it's frustrating the hell out of me.
blame the phone on your parkinson's disease. makes sense.
Order a TPU case. Nothing is better. They have them on Amazon. Matte black looks amazing with this phone. The owner of TPU posts on XDA and is always listening to our feedback.
Hmm... haven't dropped the phone yet.
Try TPU next time, its amazing.
Haven't dropped mine yet. Maybe you should try sticky tape on your hands
How does a TPU case differ from a Silicone case as far as stuff sticking to it? I've never really had much luck with these rubber cases from that stand point. Stuff always sticks to them like crazy.
What is a TPU case made from? I guess if the Case-Mate doesn't work out, I can try that next.
That said, I think I actually looked at the TPU cases when first looking for a case. TPU Cases was sold out every time I looked so I ended up ordering this silicone rubber piece of crap I got from eBay.

Nothing sticks to it and it looks and fits nicely to the phone with not much thickness added
It's made of TPU. It's some longer scientific name.

This phone is very slippery, partiularly the back panel. It's like it's made of Teflon or something.
I second the suggestion of a TPU case. Best case I've had, incredible customer service. I highly recommend one.

Does that case scuff the outer edge of the phone? That was the one thing that bugged me about the OG Epic cases.

Could be different for someone else, but I've had mine for 2 weeks and I have noticed some extra scuff marks. Since the upper rim of the case where the phone enters is made of a slightly harder TPU material, constantly removing the phone from the case will cause this to happen. I do this to clean out any dust particles that may get through. If it wasn't for the case looking so good on the phone, I probably would've switched it out for that reason.
get a TPU case, not going to prevent drops but just trust sammy's build quality. Mine has already taken some spills and already came out ahead
How do you drop your phone so often that you blame the phone's design?
I did accidentally throw my phone, but that's because I forgot it was in my hand, lol.
Go with the TPU case. I picked up the matte black one off of amazon myself as a temp solution until I splurged on a casemate or something more "heavy duty" and otterbox like.
I actually decided to just rock the TPU case.. it's niiiiice.
I also have a vid review up on amazon for it as well.

I was just about to post it. Thanks much!
Ok so i just bought the ballistic maxx case from the at&t store for $50. I walk out to my car to put it on and quickly find out the case is a piece of $h!t. I dont know where to start but ill try. 1st its nothin lime the ballistic HC case i owned for other phones and absolutely loved. All it is is a ballstic sg case with this redicilous removable screen protector. Itd a hard plastic piece that you put on the phone after you slide the rubber gel on the phone. The plastic is hard to put on. I can see eventually scratching the phone trying to do this snd when you do get it on its lose as hell. It sits off the phone so far theres a gap in between it and the screen. When you press it it clicks against phone. The lip on the case is so big you have to curl your thumb to hit home screen. And ballistic has the balls to charge $50 for that piece of crap. This is one of the worst cases i have ever seen. I immediately took it back and got my refund. If you need a rugged case wait for the defender. That case is junk. If you dropped it in water the water would poor right through the cheap screen protector. Also theres no protection for camera. I took a few pics before returning.

I checked it out at a AT&T as well and I have to agree...I thought it was garbage.
I dont understand what it is there trying to do. There HC cases were very good cases. Fit both my evos very good. Ballistics only downfall to me was customer service and they were normally late to the game. This case is just an embarassment to ballisctic. Very cheap not well cut and just dosent go well with the phone

I hate bulky cases on slim phones anyway.
I got the case and I don't see why you guys are giving it such a bad rap. I bought it for when I go over to the desert for the extra protection and it should work just fine. I actually liked the look and feel better than other otterbox cases. Personal preference I guess.
I have the normal Ballistic SG coming from amazon tuesday or wednesday so I'm hoping it winds up being a nice case. if not ill probably check out the trident ageis or casemate tough
Thats too bad, it looks pretty cool
The main thing is that whole removable screen protector. That wws just a dumb idea

I had the same issue! It would bubble up after installing the screen protector. The case is JUNK. That is a fact.
No disrespect meant at all....but I completely disagree with the OP. I have this case and have grown to really like it. OP mentioned the screen protector having a gap between it and screen....it does not if installed correctly. Instructions clearly state to place screen protecter on phone BEFORE applying gel case. There is a lip around the screen prot/gel case that locks it into place (which also greatly aids in keeping water out....not saying go drop it in the washer and walk away but you get what I mean). then the polycarb shell fits perfectly....it's all a tight fit and imo looks good. i added pics of mine installed in another thread(can't remember where at the moment). Anyway, I wrote this reply to let people know it's not a bad case....actually had an otterbox defender on my previous phone and it became stretched out and ugly as hell. this case won't do that bc of the outter poly carb shell and how the gel shell is locked on the screen protector. Just saying don't dismiss this case on one or two bad reviews. It's a great case if installed correctly. I even ordered the Ballistic SG in a different color combo to switch things up since i already have the screen protector and holster. I would NOT have ordered a second if it was crap!!

You also said in that thread that your not using the screen protector. I would imagine its bc of the lack of clarity or something else? Why pay $50 for a rugged case if you dont have the built in screen protector? They need to bring back the HC series. And when the defender is released youll see how making a 3 layer rugged case look smooth and fluid isnt that hard

You are correct. When I posted that I wasn't using the sp. I liked it then. Now I have it on and like other just the same. Its still very responsive and clear. NO gap between screen and sp at all. I have used an ob defender....smooth and fluid are not words I would use to describe it. I liked it bc I could bounce it off of cement with no ill effects but it was hello ugly imo. To r each his own I guess. Just wanted everyone to see how the sgmaxx preformed when installed correctly.

In your pictures it dose look like a nice fit. I tryd puttin the screen protector on before putting silicone on and after and it just was hidious. Also watchin the video review on youtube people really didnt have anything good to say. I just like the HC case and tje Defender because it gives you the feeling the phone is sealed tight and well protected. Ballstic sg maxx to me isnt really any different then a seidio rugged combo case. Layer after layer but no real screen protection

Bought a clone from ebay. $5. Hasn't arrived yet. I still think the Kraken will be the one to beat.
I have a commuter now and i really like this case. I normally hlget defenders but must admit after a while between the dirt that gets under the screen protector and stuff it gets annoying. I have the visor screen protector now and really like the slim case.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
The case isn't horrible but it is (at least for me) difficult to hit the buttons at the bottom of the screen. The removable protector is not a "bad" idea but if they had a better fitting screen protector I think it would be better for us users. Having the option to replace it is nice but you don't have the option to have the screen face out while in the holster. I saw that seidio has the surface case so I might return this case and buy that. I really wish they would make a waterproof otterbox case which might happen because FINALLY Samsung has a device that is the same shape for all the carriers!
Usually with the Otterbox cases I pop out the built in protector and put one on the screen directly. I had an iPhone 4 that got chips in the glass because of little particles getting in between the glass and the built in screen protector.

I have the same case and I like it. It was not too difficult to put on for me. As for the screen protector, I also have it off and like that it is not like the Otterbox. Why do that on a $50 case? Its the same reason I rip the display cover off the Otterbox Defender series. Because I don't like them. If I ever start scratching my display maybe I will install the removable display cover since it can go on and off. But I get these cases not for the screen protector but for those rare times I drop my device. And for that I am fine with it.
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.

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.

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.

I have the diztronic tpu case and i love it. It fits better than any other case i've used for this phone. Slips in and out easily. Doesn't add much to the thickness of the phone. Only recommendation - get it in black. I had it in clear and in smoke, both yellowed in a matter of weeks. I have a black one now and it is awesome! They're pretty cheap too, I got mine on amazon. Think it was like 10 bucks or something...
Sounds good..What about fitting into a side belt holster? Will the case meterial catch too much? I'd like to avoid having to fight getting the phone in and out. Thanks man! For 10 bucks I should prob just try it out lol..

The case doesn't add much thickness to the phone at all. You can get the case in matte back finish or glossy back finish. I've always gotten the matte finish, because it looks nice, slides easily, but still provides excellent grip. I've read reviews that the glossy finishes attract dust, and I would imagine the glossy finish one would get caught more easily in your belt holster. I would definitely recommend the matte back black case. I doubt you will be disappointed.
I can't post links because i'm still "new member" (i don't really post a lot), but if you search amazon for B005YEFM8M then you will see the case I am talking about. Currently going for $9.90.
Thanks for the info! I went ahead and ordered the matte black case. I'll come back here and review after I get it.

I have the clear one, and I like it but it has damaged my phone's frame. I think its because it doesn't fit 100% perfectly so dust accumulated in between the frame and the case, thus scratching the frame.
So just make sure you clean it often.

Yea, same thing happened to mine, but as long as you keep a case on it, you can't even tell.
Got the case today and here are my thoughts: Fit and finish is good. My biggest gripe is the sides. Its fairly easy to move the sides away from the phone, and this is especially noticed when pulling the phone out of the side holster. Not a deal breaker, but something to be aware of.
I was anticipating a bit more grip, but its not bad. For protection, I think it should do the job, although dropping the phone from chest height to concrete is something that concerns me. Hopefully I won't have to find out lol. I need a larger side holster as its a bit too tight, and retrieving the phone should be easier. I'll stick with this case for now, but still open to other options.
I still feel like I need just a tiny bit more bulk and grip, to be perfect.

I think it's funny that the OP said he hates otterbox and this is what you give him for suggestions.

Sucks and hates are two different words but ok. And I guarantee the case I have is different than the defender. My last phone was in a defender case when it was damaged. This case was just released not to long ago and maybe the OP didn't know they have a tougher case that's also waterproof. Just a thought though, could be wrong.

no need for water case i think i will look around for a cool case that has everything
The defender ends up peeling and the outer rubber part barely stays attached to the hard plastic. I've had THREE of the them, I hardly even use my phone and my pockets are never tight and the case never snags. I checked out the Armor by Otterbox today it feels much nicer but it's very expensive and is literally a brick.
The latest outer cases seem stiffer and less rubbery. Have had Ø problems with these...
Otherwise they'll just keep replacing them until you're happy.
Great CS....
Just got back from the beach with my otterbox armor series. No sand or water on my phone. Stayed in my pocket in and out of the water. I love this case.

I use TPU cases. They're like silicone cases, but they're a little more substantial and do a good job absorbing minor impacts. Plus, they're cheap and come in a variety of styles.
If your using a standard battery UAG is my favorite... rocks.

I had one. Worst case I've ever had. Even at my discounted price of $60 on release day. Way to bulky when a life proof is just as good and not only cheaper but slimmer. Also part of the speaker cover that makes it water proof the screen layer fell off and seemed to be held on with cheap glue or silicon. In 5 years I've never needed a water proof case bit I also take care of my phones. I'd go with a ballistic shell gel. Very nice case and still fairly slim
