]+My phone fell off of my lap onto the ground. was probably a foot and a half that it fell. I think that it hit on the most unlucky spots. Touch screen stops working if the screen cracks.

Replacement should be here Tuesday. going to the sprint store tomorrow to get a otterbox case for it if they have one.
This. I'm terrified of this. I have yet to buy a case because I haven't been able to find one. I'm being so careful.

yeah the sprint version doesnt come out until tomorrow so I couldnt find a case yet. I will be buying one first thing though for my replacement device. I never dropped my last phone at all, but this thing is slick.
I was terrified this was going to happen to me the first day I got the phone. This thing is very slippery. Definitely will be investing in the Otterbox case as soon as it's available. Anyone know if it's the same price in stores as it is online?

Mine has fallen twice onto tile and once onto concrete. Lucky the concrete fall landed on the bottom of the phone. What I'm noticing is that because the back is covered in glass, it slides VERY easily out of my pocket, off my lap, etc etc. Every time I go out, I check in with a store to see if there is a case. No go so far. I did find a bumper for it online. I am thinking about doing that and getting some protective screens for the front and back to go on first.

Not available in South Korea yet. waiting patiently, though. Got a freebie-cheapie from the shop where I got my phone.
well the sprint stores around here do not have any cases at all for this phone. so I'm ordering a tpu case from ebay.
also, I got an email from the insurance company saying that the phone is on back order. Sucks that I will be waiting and stuck with a Galaxy S until it gets here.

Yup, but the sprint Otterbox won't fit the AT&T Optimus. I know. I tried. I can't understand why Otterbox would release it for sprint but not AT&T..
Because the sprint version is basically the same size as the international version... At&t is the odd sized one.
May never get an otterbox for it.

Are they actually different physical dimensions? I find that hard to believe, and if true, an astounding error on LG's part. I understand there ae differences in hardware (camera, microSD, etc) but the chasis/ body should be exactly the same overall dimensions, no?

Yup, the Sprint version corners are actually square and the width of the device is about an eith of an inch less. The AT&T version has rounded edges and wider of course so the case won't even go on correctly. Plus camera placement is a little different between the two. Holes don't match up.

Like the subject says, lets see those Epic 4G Touch Cases!
Anyone picking up their phone in a Sprint store keep an eye out for the black carbon fiber looking one with the kickstand in the middle, made by Technocel.
I unloaded a few dozen of those today and they're pretty damn sexy. I'll post a pic tomorrow morning if I get the chance.

It should be. Some indirects have different return policies on open accessories but if it was a corporate store they would take it back. If nothing else you'll get store credit.
As for that kickstands case, try local stores, they'll probably have it. I know we got 36 of 'em.

I like carry my phone on my hip...so hopefully Samsung will put out a leather carrier big enough for E4T.
I may hold out for a Barely There case...
I'm hoping this gets adapted to the Sprint version soon:

Not only is it thin, but that brushed aluminum adds a classy look that just might actually look upscale.

Mine feels loose but it stand up fine.. also do you feel like it will scratch your phone..?

The kickstands stays loose but it works well. I was also wondering if something is going to get between the case and the phone and scratch it but only time will tell. I like it so far though, its a good fit and keeps it slim.

So after going to my local ATT corp store and seeing this case it looked pretty interesting. Do they only make cases for the iPhone? Tried doing some research and found nothing! Only iPhone cases.
Iphone and Ipad only. I would definitely be in for one for the s3 if the decided to make it though.

Thanks for posting that link. I have wasted lots of $$$ on screen protectors because I never liked how I applied them. No matter what I do, i get dust/bubbles, and all sorts of other issues. That roll-on screen protector is going to save me so much money and pain/anger.
If you have a hard time with screen protectors you should go check out ghost-armor.com . I have my phone wrapped in clear with a second layer of white carbon fiber, they will do the whole installation for you and they even covered my flygrip in white carbon fiber as well
My S3 gets me Blazed
Otterbox is coming out with a similar case called the Armor. Its been announced for the iPhone, but if anybody would build a non-apple version it would probably be them. I would consider asking them.

Doubtful, Otterbox has their collective head so far up apples ass that it's not even funny. They couldn't even produce a case for the S3 release even though this phone has sold millions already.
I emailed Otterbox earlier to ask them about the Armor case. They don't have plans to make it for any other phones... iPhone only.

They could easily sell 100k cases for the s3 (10M sold so far).
I would buy it immediately
I would jump right on that as well. They did have a post on their site a few months back that they were working on coming out with cases for Samsung phones. It would seem that the s3 should be at the top of the list when they do.
It would be nice to have for kayaking and snowboarding, nice for listening to music in the shower too!
I bought the otterbox commuter with an hd invisishield and loved it. Then upgraded to the defender and while I like the defenders premise.. I hate that I get dust under the screen cover through the miniscule opening at the top where the front facing camera and ear speaker is. I may go back to the commuter and hd screen.

Junk, don't waste your money. I had to return 3 cases because they cracked. Read more here:

I actually just got my candyshell a couple of days ago. I was put off by the 'cracking' from the reviewers, but I ordered it from Amazon and they have a great return policy. I also had a speck when I had the iphone 3gs and I liked it. It provided protection without being too bulky. Too bad they don't have it in white!
I was actually surprised as it was better than the iphone version - the buttons are really easy to press (on the iphone case, I always had to push down really firmly on the volume rocker and power button because the rubber didn't have as much give). So far, I like it as it also gives me something more solid to hold, I'm probably the minority but the naked phone feels so light, like I'm going to snap it in half. No complaints with cracks so far, will update if there is.
Here are some photos:

Thanks! Yeah, the cracking put me off too, but I saw reviews that said how easy the buttons were to press and its a pretty slick case so I bought one.
Yeah, actually the speck case for the galaxy s3 seems less flimsy than the iphone version. To me, anyway.
Case is junk. Super hard to get the phone out of and the cracking is real.
Get a case mate tough or a incipio sylicrilic.
I have this case. It's my everyday case right now. I've put it on and off the phone multiple times and never had any issues. If you do it as per the instructions then it comes out easy. Mine has not cracked. This is the best case I have found that is slim fitting, has a lip to keep the screen and camera lens off of tables, and covers the buttons. I would recommend it.

Yeah, it was the Pebble / Bayou color that was having issues.

I feel bad for all of you who've broken your phone, but at the same time some of you are the same one's who give me crap about putting an otterbox defender on mine and ruining the looks. I've dropped mine twice now, once getting out of my truck (approx. 4 ft) and the other at waist level. Both times zero damage, my case is a little scuffed but that's it. It's worth it to me to "ruin" the looks and not break my phone, even with a warranty you still have to pay money and wait for the new one.
Lol, last week my dumbass somehow slapped my phone out of my hand while transitioning from sitting to standing. And this happened twice within 3 days lol. Luckily I had my powerskin on.
I'm just sayin!

Yep, I hope Samsung doesn't do this again. The original and the S2 both had good screen protection from the bezel on the edge where it really counts.
The S3 isn't very forgiving when it's dropped in any way other than flat on its back. Mine feel from my bed down to the floor hitting a dumbbell making contact to the bezel, leaving a dime sized dent. However, it managed to survive a swim in the lake this past summer!
Mine fell two feet onto carpet, landed on its back, about a week ago and my heart stopped! A couple days ago it got flung off my bed and hit the corner of a plastic stool with its screen but was fine. That picture is going to make me even more paranoid. It looks like its JUST the front glass though. I'm starting to consider ordering a just-in-case replacement glass...

How is that case? Do you like it? Is it too big?
I was surprised to see that there was no thread about the new Otterbox coming out, so I thought I would start one. If there is already a thread, however, please let me know and I'll delet this one.
Here's a link to the new waterproof case by Otterbox: http://www.otterbox.com/armor-series-galaxy-s3/armor-series-galaxy-s3,default,pg.html
Besides the price, looks like a fantastic case. Does anybody know the release for this? On the Otterbox page, it says the iPhone 4/4s are coming out Feb 22nd, but does that include the GS3 as well? It seems strange than they would only release part of the series rather than the whole thing at once.
there was a thread about it.. but it was named something like "are you serious otterbox?!"
kinda funny for a thread topic imo

What the guy above me said. Also their is no release date for the gs3 yet. Hopefully sooner then later.
Can't be as bad as lifeproof advertising a case for the gs3 for months.... With no mock up pictures or prototypes.

AT&T store just received their Apple shipment, hopefully not too long for the s3.

I think some of these company are a little too slow to get cases out. By the time you get these out, most have settles in on a case or moved on to the latest phone and they already missed out on a greater demand.
But a good portion of the public doesn't have to be on the cutting edge of technology and will buy a used or severely discounted gs3 after the gs4 comes out. For the simple fact of it's cheaper.

I was inform by the Malaysia distributor it be out somewhere middle next month for SIII and I actually paid advance lol well I was thinking it came out the same time as Iphone 4s armor series. Ordered one iphone 4s for my friend and siii for myself, only to be inform it was not out yet for SIIl.
Anyway I receive the otterbox armor for iphone 4s yesterday.. first thing I would say is.. Ultra Bulky LOL not that I am complaining about it (maybe a little) but it does feel solid even the material used felt good (Unlike lifeproof which claim to be military grade too friend had it and the case cracked after falling from his 10 ft or less staircase) it really has a military looks. I notice the shape is a bit like a square pyramid towards the screen top and not a straight square box like most armor case. Did the water test, car test, and drop test... not a single scratch :good:
My only hope is the SIII case would look less bulky then the iphone or it really would look like I be carrying a brick around.
Stumbled across this today: http://www.macmall.com/p/Otterbox-Cellular-Telephony/product~DPNo~9476565~pdp.iajdbih?source=mwbgoogleshop&adtype=pla&kw={keyword}&gclid=CK3lxt--o7YCFVSVMgodwB4AeQ
Says it's a Otterbox Amor, but I know it's not out yet. Has anyone order this form this site? Just curious to see if its a fake or not.
And the GS3 amour case is finally available.

I'm assuming they still have the awesome warranty on these as well like they do on the Defender and commuter? If so you could probably get one of these cheaper used.

That's what I'm wondering. With the other cases if something happens you call Otterbox and just have to send them a picture with your name written on a piece of paper beside your broken case and they send you a new one no questions asked. Im assuming its the same with this case but being that they are $100 each it maybe different. It doesn't matter where you buy it the warranty doesn't change.

Please post pics and your thoughts after you have played with it for a couple days. I'm thinking about getting this but $100 is steep.

I definitely will when i get time. I should get it sometime May 7, but i have work and class that day.
Price was steep but I've been saving up for this case for a while now. I need a completely dust proof case and my Griffin survivor is great, but I'm ready for a change.
