Seidio is coming out with an Obex case soon. Rather nice looking for a rugged case IMO.

October.

Wow! MSRP of $80.

I just bought a defender from amazon for only $28, that seidio looks nice but not $90 nice.

I'm going for the Seidio Obex when it comes out.
I'll only put it on when I'm Kayaking down the Delaware though.

I guess if you really want or need a waterproof case, it's a good option.

I'm buying a Obex for sure, it will be the perfect case for camping.

soon as I have the $90 it costs I am sending my phone off to liquipel to get done up nano style.
then any case is "waterproof"

they have it listed on the site so I assume we can do so anytime we wish. I just don't have the cash yet

The OBEX case looks very hopeful! I've been meaning to find a waterproof one, thanks for the thread! :good:

just a pity its BLACK. yuck. at least otterbox "gets it" and has some nice colors. too bad they are still very expensive relative to alternatives.
I do want their dual tone blue one though

Nice I had one of these on a Storm 2 I had and I loved it! Got me hooked on Case Mate stuff.
Going to see if instead of a refund on my Pop case, they'll just send me one of these priority mail.
Looks like the seido case.

They are not too thick and they protect well. Big thing for me is that the case and holster look classy.

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!
I guess I'm waiting.

Work Case

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:

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.
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

If we're talking subsidised prices then ALL phones are 200-300 dollars and therefore NONE are worth a $70 case. It's a 500+ dollar phone.

waterpfoof case for the s3

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.

they should make a water proof case for a extended battery.

this looks like an excellent case... I would buy 2 units (for me and the wife) if they made it.... they should also consider the back to be thin to be compatible with wireless charging....

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.
Got this case to use on my bike: http://www.topeak.com/products/bags/smartphone_drybag_5_bk
Edit: don't mind my sig, got a S3 now.

Would an s3 with extended battery fit in this case, im already looking for quite a while for something like this but never realy wanted to order one because i am worried that it would not fit for extended batteries
Do these waterproof cases float? If no, what kind of depths can they handle? (I assume 1m)
I'm waiting for the otter armor.
