Seidio Convert combo Review - Galaxy S III Accessories

Hi guys,
Sorry for the delay on posting another video, but ive been out of town on vacation.
I tested the convert by Seidio .It is a very strong case, its more of a 2 cases in one, which makes it pretty cool because you can go from a thin case to an uber protective case.
Does it worth 50 bucks? I dont know..I dont think any case worth that much money, but thats why there is ebay and amazon lol
Enjoy

Great deal on a really nice platinum series case - $8 shipped

Came across a deal on cases for the Evo while looking for a Dell Streak case. Thought I would come over and post it, my buddy said its a good case. Didnt do too much research but I think its like a 50 dollar case, anyways $7.95 shipped.

heres an old thread with some reviews, thanks to the fancy similar threads thingy:

nice fined mine broke and was about to go get a new one
Thanks for the find good deal I picked up one also.
that scares me a bit
I'll be the guinea pig! I just ordered 2 of them for that price. I figure if they try to screw me I will file a paypal dispute. They also have the platinum innocase with holster for the epic for like 6 bux. If the defender arrives and it's legit I'm probably gonna buy a bunch and distribute them to friends.
Great find..
was going to order one but seen no idea how long shipping is
From the reviews I read shipping doesn't take to long. They are based in California.

The site says its a seidio case but if you go to the seidio website they don't have a platinum series case listed.
"platinum" is indeed a sedio case its just been rebranded for best buy. Check bb site and you'll find it .

Oh OK I did not know that
Anyone have a video review or something of this case? I cant find some decent pics of the case to see how bulky it is. The best buy site has a front view of the case on the phone and it looks really bulky.
I believe its actually the innocase rugged,more reviews found here

Compared to most other sites pricing the op deal is unbeatable

There are a ton of reviews on YouTube. Here is one:

I got this case when they first came out and was not satisfied with it at all. The outer skeleton broke for no apparent reason and I ended up having to cut all the port covers off because the silicone was tearing. You can't really go wrong for 8 bucks though. The inner layer is the regular innocase so you can use that on it's own and Seidio's screen protector is definitely the best I have ever used.
The case is quite bulky, but all rugged cases are. I now have a Ballistic case and it adds even more bulk than the Seidio.

unbelievable deal.... i bit on one.
this is clearly a pricing error, but i ordered 10 anyways. expecting a refund any minute now...
edit: maybe not, its on their twitter feed too, and they have other seidio products at that pricing. amazing.
On the bandwagon I go....
If you miss out, DONT WORRY, I'll have them on eBay next week for 3x the price
Just got my tracking # today.

i bought 2, why not? Having a cheap case is always nice

Case contemplation

I have had my thunderbolt for about a month now and it is naked. I dont know if i should wait for an otterbox or a ballistic case or just buy something like the active x
as long as you're careful, I say leave it naked!
My recommendation is, if you don't know what you want, then go cheap for now until you do know. The S-Line can be had for just a few bucks ($3-7) on eBay (and some other web-based stores sell it too, I believe) and is an good case. Not amazing, but good to excellent. It will last you until you know what you want, and may be what you want.
I just got my active x case today in the mail. I was tired of waiting for Otterbox to release its case. I'm extremely happy with the case.
i went cheap, cases aren't the quality i like and well... they suck.
i like my case-mate pop case, shinny back gets stratched but i can live with it. the rubber deteriorating that users complained about is more like tiny eraser shavings on mine from the friction going in and out of my pocket, but it comes and goes. i'm still closely examining it. its a GREAT case, kind of thick, but lots of protection.
i might get the case-mate barely there case since i'm very careful with my phone.
another suggestion is the HTC (OEM) TPU case, I like QUALITY TPU cases because they're thin and the material is great.
+1 for the case mate pop, got mine 20% off (use google to search for coupons, 2 minutes saved me $8 lol), standard shipping, case ordered friday morning and delivered via first class mail monday afternoon. I like the fit, I like the protection, and I honestly think the white case is bad ass (makes my phone look like a storm trooper IMO). Otterbox has no plans of releasing a commuter case based on my communications with them and the defender is just overkill for my needs.
wouldnt waste my money on the pop case. im on my second one and it already jacked up.

99% of the people Ive seen have problems with them. I wouldnt take my chances.
On Ebay I found an Otterbox knock off for thirteen dollars with no shipping cost. Had the built in screen protector and all which I promptly removed because it sucked. Came with a hard snap on shell and a rubber case to put around that. It doesn't look to bad at all and was a lot cheaper than Otterbox.

saw the one on ebay can you post pics?

+1 for the case mate. I got mine in white. BTW I contacted case mate about the rubber wearing out. (i take my phone out of the case a lot to swap out batteries) and they sent me another case for free and let me keep my old one. 2 for 1 bonus!

I'm using the body glove case that I got off edau for 17 and it fits great good material and great texture

The Seidio Surface case fits very well, doesn't add much bulk to the phone, and probably comes in any color you're likely to want. Seem to be available at a variety of prices, so pretty good deals to be had.

+1. Doesn't add too much bulk like the OB defender, and still feels good in the hands. No problems with cracking after a drop nor with rubber deterioration.

i am looking for a case that would protect if it was dropped and bumped around
After purchasing a soft case at the Verizon store where I bought my TB, I chucked it a few days later after it fell off a bunch of times. I ended up buying the Seidio Innocase II Surface Case on ebay. Best case imho.
It fits well and seems pretty sturdy. I know it's a pricey case, but I'm looking at the long-term in not having to buy a bunch of "cheaper" cases down the road when one will suffice.

The active-x from seidio worked for me. I've dropped it from about 3-4 feet with no ill effects. Doesn't add to much bulk, but is a little pricier than some cases. Use disc2011 for 10% off.

I have an otterbox case I need to get rid of!!

I have an otterbox Defender case I don't use. I bought it from amazon a few months ago and now kinda wish I had bought and don't really like. I'm looking to trade for a commuter or one that is just the hard Polycarbonate with out the silicone outer case thing.
P.S.
I am sorry if I didn't put this in the right area. I wasn't quite sure on where it should've gone.
I'll pay $5, you pay shipping to texas?
I'm the highest bidder so far right?
if you wanna sell stuff ur best off putting it up in the marketplace (General Forums -> Marketplace)
call otterbox and ask if they will switch it out for a commuter .. they have in past .. just a thought ..
whatwhatwhat
Dang. I didn't even realize there was a marketplace on here. and Yes. $5 is the highest bid so far, but no thank You. also. I think I might try that (calling otterbox)
I have a commuter case and am willing to trade if you are still interested.
@static if you dont get one from him ive got a extra ill trade ya

Case-Mate Cases

Just letting you guys know that amazon is selling Genuine CaseMate cases for half the price of the case mate site
See for yourslef
tinyurl. com/8le7stu
I recommend the Tough case for its ruggedness and durability, i bought one for my vibrant two years ago and its still going strong, that said it adds
alot of bulk.
if you want to maintain the sleekness of the GS3 get the barely there cases, i prefer the black aluminum one.
Hope this could help anyone :good:

Case mate pop vs phantom?

So, i was thinking about a case for my about to be bought sgs 3... I have 2 options in my mind, though if u have any suggestions, plz tell me.
So the cases are:
Case mate pop(navy)
Case mate phantom(i really like its covers for the earphone and usb port, since i am sure they will be filled with dust)
If u have any other suggestions i will gladily take them into consideration... Though i must say that even the phantom is a bit expensive so the budget must be at maximum equal to the phantoms...
Thanks in advance
I checked out both of the Case Mate cases you mentioned and they seem nice. I've been searching for a good case for my recently acquired GS3 and finally settled on a Trident Kraken AMS. I was able to pick one up for about $25 online ($19.50 pre shipping). The only downside for me is that it's a tad bit bulky, but I tend to hold on to my devices for a long time, so I figured I would go for the maximum protection. Good luck with your search.
If u want maximum protection without the bulk, bodyglove shocksuit is awesome!! I've had mine for a couple weeks, and my search for a perfect case is over! Love it!!!
