[POLL] What kind of protection/case do you use?

What kind of protection/case do you use for your smartphone...
Silicon Case (Phone stays in while being used)
Plastic Case (Phone stays in while being used)
Pocket Case (Phone has to be taken out for usage)
Premium Case (eg leather & other materials)
Screen Protector (foil & others)
Something else
None
All answers are greatly appreciated!

I voted for Plastic/Silicone/Protector. I use either the Seidio Innocase II Rugged which is a hard shell with silicone exterior, along with a 3M Vikuiti screen protector.

I appreciate any support since we are developing some for different devices....

Just a little screen protector. Cases are for chicks to accesorize with. Though my fiancée thinks cases are stupid, so...... =P

I vote for LCD screen protector. I think they can make my phone moer durable and beautiful.

I use Silicon case for my smartphone.

Case mate, you can buy it by eBay.

I use an otterbox commuter for my incredible. I love otterbox cases they never let me down

Hard Back cover goes for me on xperia x10

i use a traditional leather case from Noreve. They are expensive but worth every penny

Plastic Case (Phone stays in while being used)

Invisible shield . works really well .

Pocket case for me

protection
almost all of them

I'm currently using a silicone and TPU bumper case along with a screen protector. I'm pretty sure I'll have to remove the bumper when I use the Game Klip I'm buying, though - but it's not a big deal because the bumpers are soft and easily come on and off.

PSA: Get the Best

Hi all, I've had countless numbers of phone cases and have to make the recommendation of three specific brands.
SGP: Beautiful, clean, thin cases. Definitely my top pick.
Seidio: Well-made, heavy duty cases at a great price.
OtterBox: Fort Collins, Colorado based company that contributes thousands to local charities and teams (gave my robotics team $6,000), provides very heavy duty cases at the expense of style. If you need something that you can throw out a window, this is your best bet.
That's what I've gathered from my experiences, what do you have to recommend? Shout below. :good:

Incipio: affordable and complete protection with style, comfort, and innovation.

Noreve.
Sexy. Sleek. Professional.

I am a total case hoarder with every phone I purchase and it has always came down to Casemate or SGP or Samsung. With the GS3 a little known company called Capdase might actually be the winner.

Wow! I'm going to check out all three of those.
Upon a day's worth of research, it looks like SGP's quality has dropped...hard. :crying:
PS: Where can I buy a Capdase case? They look great, but I can't find a website that sells them.

I saw that someone said the aluminum case for capdase affects your signal. I got the SGP Neo Hybrid it is pretty nice. But if looks don't matter as much to you, it is really just a fancy TPU case so get a $10 TPU case.

Are you having the button sensitivity issues everyone else is having?

Incipio is my top pick for TPU cases. Their NGP cases are thicker and slicker compared to generic TPU ones.
SGP is one of my favourites as well, well at least until after they solve the button issue on the Neo Hybrid.

The Incipio NGP case looks great. Do you know if the edges peel up easily?

Good job gopher

i guess ill chime in on this. Have had 2 only so far.
UAG (urban armor gear)
Pros: Built Tough, Not bulky, Well made, Top Quality, Cutouts/Ports right on, Button Response ok, Unique like no other design, On-Table feature, 6 unique colors to choose from.
Cons: Pricey, Minor defect on bottom side "sharp edge" where pinky finger rest's (easy fix with box cutter), Included screen protector is a finger print/grease magnet.
Ballistic SG (NOT SG MAXX)
Pros: Great Quality, Drop protection, Soft corner impact bumpers, Great color combinations, 5 Colors to choose from. Great price for the protection it gives.
Cons: None so far, barely put it on today(11-23-12). Will review later, once real life hands on experience.

ZooGue cases have been my favorite. Amazing TPU, amazing quality.
In my opinion, Otterbox is the worst. The silicone breaks too easily and the screen protector is absolute junk. I prefer trident cases as a heavy duty case than any other heavy duty case.

Urban Armor Gear cases - Pricier but quality is top notch. Case is well protected and the fit is perfect. It's a cool looking case too. Lightweight and doesn't add too much bulk.

Favorite cases?

Will everyone please take a second to rate your top 3 favorite cases for the s3 ? I am looking for a cool case that protects my phone...other than an otterbox ...too bulky..want something more feminine.
Thanks

Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium

right now its a SGP curved crystal screen protector.. and a seidio active.. it really is a perfect combo..

Loving this case. Great grip, looks really nice on the white GS3 (not sure about the blue one) and it has a kickstand!

I don't have a top 3 but i've owned the trident aegis and neo hybrid and sent them both back cos of problems with the buttons.
currently I have the seidio active with kickstand which is ok but I find it slippy in the hand. I also have a cheap tpu case which is pretty good but got the acase super legerra this morning which is superb. good grip, not much bulk, buttons work great and fits perfectly and only £10!

Samsung orginal is the best one
poor build quality but best suitet

Look no further. The Acase Superleggera Pro is where it's at.

I use a Case Mate POP! For my Kickstand Case, a Spigen Modello for my thin case, and I just purchased 3 cheap duel layer mesh cases that I can change out the different color layers to mix things up. Hands down best case is the Acase.

have to agree with the acase.

which case would you recommend?

which one would you recommend? any other case that are good?

Really depends on the level of protection you need. I've used just phone skins for looks, to bumpers, to silicone cases, to otterboxes. Depends on what you need and want to look at.

Third one looks great but I prefer case that cover screen too. Just to be safe side. On my first s3 I got hairline crack without even knowing what and where happened.

YOu might check out amazon. I paid like $19 for an otterbox defender which comes with a screen cover built in and has superb protection

I'm with Pennycake on this. It depends on your level of protection. Me personally, I care more for heavy protection, so I got a Trident Kraken case. At $28.99 plus free shipping on Ebay, it was a great buy.

Yes, as others have said it depends on your usage / preference / risk factor. I'm perfectly happy with my Otterbox Commuter other than it being a little slick. If you don't want the bulk of a hybrid (jelly & hard) case, then I'd probably go with a jelly case over the hard case for the shock protection vs. scratch protection with the hard case.
Of those you suggested, I'd pick the third one because its a "hybrid" and does wrap the edge corners which is pretty important pro wise. That, and it just looks cool

I'm using the UAG case right now (the third link). I think it's a pretty nice case, it doesn't add too much bulk like the otterbox and it gives decent protection. I dropped my phone a couple times with the case on and there are no damages on the phone or the case. Pretty good case in my opinion.

Im looking for a thin case with no design or pattern. Just white or black color
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

I use the ballistic maxx case I think this is the best case out....it's not bulky like the defender case it's slim and also comes with a holster like the otterbox does it has raised edges that when the phone is dropped it flips the phone in a way it's hard to crack the screen and also comes with a screen protector not the film kind amazon has em for around $15

I'm using SGP neo hybrid case and it feels good and looks good also...

Better cases

I used to be an otterbox fan, just ordered an aegis case for pretty cheap off eBay. Screen protector included I've used them they're pretty good. Any other recommendations besides otterbox and that other cheap 5 buck brand lol.

UAG case directly from the site. I have the aero and I love it, it's mildly protective but not as protective as otterbox. This is for everyday wear and tear with the occasional 7 foot drop. At the same time, it maintains a heck load of style.
There can only be one, the chosen ONE.
