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:

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.

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

Extremely protective case?

Just ordered my sgs3 a few days ago, I'm looking for case that can potentially take a beating, I work in a warehouse and I don't want to hurt my new phone I looked at a body glove at the tmo store but it didn't seem as strong as the body glove I have on my sensation, thanks I appreciate it

I have the otterbox defender and it is very solid. Feels like it should take any normal abuse.

otterbox defender, trident kraken, seidio active. Those would be my choices.

I also work in a warehouse and I'm using the trident ageis its pretty good but I'm thinking about upgrading to the ballistic Sg maxx that case looks like it can take a hell of a drop. I'm sometimes up to 30 feet high and if I drop my phone e I do t think my trident case could handle the fall. I think the sg maxx would be our best bet for surviving that kind of fall.

I work construction so yea I was worried my self lol, so I got me a otterbox defender series from a at&T store, dude hooked me up with a 25 percent off because I had a coupon for tmobile that was 30 percent off, so he did almost like a price match for me , not bad at all , plus the buttons on this case are not hard to press.

Hey, I am trying to get support to get Griffin technology to produce a survivor case for the galaxy s3. If you look in my thread you can see that it would be a cool option for us if we manage to convince them to make one , http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1823703

The otterbox defender is what I would use if you want maximum protection.

Otterbox Commuter vs Seidio Active (with metal kickstand)

I'm contemplating getting one of these cases and was wondering if any of you guys had them and what you thought of them so I can get a good idea of which one to order. Thanks

I've had both (Although I had the Commuter for my old LG Optimus One) and I currently have the Seidio Active (Without the kickstand) and the Seidio Active is much much better. The silicone and plastic is much higher quality and it doesn't lose it's shape like most Otterboxes too. The only upside with buying the Otterbox is that is comes with a screen protector (A pretty crappy one anyway) and that's about it. The Seidio case is much better.

By the way does the case get a lot of lint on it and does it get stuck inside pockets and such that's my main concern lol
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

The Seidio case picks up a little bit of lint, a LOT less than the Otterboxes do. Half the time for me it doesn't pick lint up but when it does it's barely noticeable and wipes off really easily. Can't same the same about the Otterbox though, I had a hell of a time with lint problems when I had one for my old phone.

Do yourself a favor and also check out the Trident Kraken(Excellent Video Review Here). It has an awesome kickstand, tons of accessories that can be bought(11 bucks for a windshield mount? DONE!) and you can take it out of the poly-carb box and use just the silicon sleeve when you don't need it. Plus from everything I read online, Trident offers far superior protection than SEIDO or Otterbox. And the rotatable belt clip is way better than a holster, to me anyway. Give it a look, love mine!
Also if you want slightly less protection(and thickness) consider the Trident Aegis.

Quit hatin' on the Commuter!

Of course the Trident Kraken offers superior protection when compared to the Seidio Active and Otterbox Commuter but it also adds a lot more bulk to your phone. (If you're ok with that, then go for the Kraken! It is the most protective case out of the three!).
And I wasn't hating on the Commuter, I was just stating what I had encountered when I had one with my old phone.

I decided to go with the Seidio Active case with the kickstand. It should arrive tomorrow so I'll update you guys on how it is.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Got the Seidio case in the mail today I love it but the only thing is that it doesn't have any opening for the 3 pin thing on the right side of the phone. I don't know if the Otterbox Commuter has an opening for it.

Commuter doesn't have an opening for the pogo pins either. Very few have them open and the only ones I own that have such an opening are some tpu cases I have.

Yeah I don't plan to use them anyways but so far this case is very good but we'll see how it survives a fall which hopefully never happens
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Kraken does not have them either, nor does any high-protection case I have seen.

Would have to say the seidio active is my choice. After i tested it the hard way, due to me being sleep deprived. I was working inside my car engine bay and take off the phone due to getting in the way at times. I just so happened to forget it was in their and then started to drive away to get a drink. I finally realized what happen then went searching for it the case was scratch to heck, but the phone was safe

^ Mother of Buddha :-\
I have what I'm told is a Commuter for sale.. $20 shipped 405-259-2797

I like the little groove on my case from where the kickstand is too makes it feel nice when you hold the phone.

"good" and "cheap" dont often work well together. it's either a cheap case that might protect your phone when you drop it or its a good case that you spent $20+ on. if you're going for looks and dont want to spend a lot, there's thousands of cases. otterbox cases are too bulky for me. i always use case mate's "tough case" on my galaxy phones. good luck

Cheap and gets the job done. Not too bulky also it depends where you buy the case from...Amazon is cheapest and fastest to avoid the stores markup.
An otterbox commuter is about $20 on Amazon and works well for me.
A clear backed bumper hybrid case is what I use when I want smaller and they are cheap and work well for protection for me but you need a well raised front face bumper to protect the screen though

try ebay or amazon
i prefer ebay, if you want cheaper cases
and in my opinion, they are pretty good, especially the gel ones

Need help with a case for a gift

I want to get my dad a nice case and holster for fathers day, I've got a nexus so I don't know the options for his S3. I like the otterbox commuter because the silicone is held tight at the top and bottom by the outer layer. If anyone knows of a horizontal holster that fits this well let me know (like the defender series holster). I would really prefer horizontal over the vertical clip in style, even though I know they all swivel. I don't like the defender because he won't like the soft outer layer or built in hard screen protector. The ballistic SG MAXXX has the horizontal holster and hard outer case, but I don't like how the outer layer doesn't cover the top and bottom. Any suggestions for a commuter holster or different case combo?

I would check out the body glove toughsuit. Its similar to the defender, but the outer layer is more of a you material. You can also pull the built in screen protector out pretty easy. They sell them at Walmart if you want to check one out in person.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2

Nah, the hard inner layer and soft outer layer isn't logical in my opinion. He works in construction so it needs good drop protection. I might just go with the commuter and get the Seidio active holster.

I use the otterbox defender and am also in construction and it serves me well.
Sent while sleeping in chair.

The outer layer is not soft. Its riggid and way better than the defender its Not tacky and grippy. Ive had them both before.
The commuter is not a good decision Imo. Most likely gonna slip out of hes hand lol.
Ive had the ballistic sg maxx before which would be my 2nd choice over the toughsuit
