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.

Thanks for the answer, Do you have one yourself? Would you recommend it?
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

Yea I've used seidio on a few phones. The active is pretty good.

Time to get this case reviewed right?
Honestly, if i had to choose between this and the commuter i would pick this one up. Feels really solid and after a 10 mile hike at zion with some drops , it proved its point.
enjoy

Yeah, u forgot one thing though. The builtin screen protector sucks. I just took mine off yesterday and added a best skin ever screen protector with my defender case and its awesome! Perfect combination.

That happen to mine, Within in a month mine was real loose, good thing I bought it at a local att store so they replaced it, had the new one for a few months and it's not loose at all. Maybe they had defects on some.

When you say a new case, do you mean holster/case? I was walking and my holster caught something and the clip broke off. The case is also squeaky and the lip of the case is getting loose and is starting to expose the plastic edges.

Cool. I'll fire off an email to them then. I have my zoogue cases and will probably order a UAG, commuter, or ballistic to hold me over.
Are you guys taking the case on and off frequently or just naturally happens?
And by proof, is the original packaging good enough?
Yeah the corners don't have a rail like the sides to snap into. They're sending me a complete otterbox to replace mine. Maybe they have fixed the design.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
I got this case about two months ago, And have been testing it out ever since. I must say, I have been a fan of the design ever since the Galaxy S. But this time around, I was really disappointed. :crying:
The Quality of the GS3 version is really bad ( I can't stress on that point enough). I have already had it replaced once, And the company took around 20 days to do so. I got the replacement because the case had started peeling. They sent me a replacement case, and after some time, That started peeling too. I have attached some pictures. Steer clear of this case. Thats all I can say right now. Try SGP. They have awesome products.
Pros:
-Not at all Bulky
-A bit of Lay on the table design
-Good for showing off design of the phone
Cons:
-Really bad quality
-No drop protection
-A tad bit expensive.
Cheers for the heads-up and review

May I suggest the SGP ultra thin air or the white barely there? That doesn't have the problem.
Sent from my GT-I9300
I was considering the barely there but thought it was too pricey...
I found this case made by Rearth...looks similar and keeps a thin profile...
Best of all it's only $9.99 right now....
Ordered mine yesterday..
Free shipping btw...

I would recommend the Rock Quicksand in dark grey as it's similar and has great quality.

Cibo Case,
http://tinyurl.com/a89v4kb
I got this case in clear. it's been awesome. the sides have this grippy texture that makes it tougher to slip out of your hands. i've dropped my phone countless times so far onto concrete & the floor and the case saved it from scratches on the display or sides each time. another great thing is the case doesn't add that much to the overall thickness.

That's not a flip case lol. And by the way, I got that same case for $1.50 from Amazon so you're getting ripped if you're paying $8 o.o

The price is too good to be true for this case so it's most likely fake like the others on ebay. Just a heads up because there are many people who thought they were going to get a real one.

Yup. Plus they dont even make those anymore, they got discontinued awhile back. Just the fakes are available now. Maybe few real one but doubt those are it cause of the price. Nonetheless the fake one I had was so close to real. Almost perfect.

Diztronic is a great value case but it is TPU (which I actually prefer). Otherwise, the ACase seems nice as well. Of course, UAG is on amazon as well, but I personally think they are ugly. :shrugs:

Imo buy dark colors cause eventually lighter colors will stain overtime. My wife has a hot pink ballistic LS series and it started turning purple with jean stain lol. Its easy to clean off tho, so I guess no biggie. But I can only imagine a white case with stains
