So my last phone got damanged due to my job. So I NEED to get a good case and screen protector for this one, its just too nice. I was thinking of going to best buy or the t-mobile store to get the screen and ordering a ballistic case... not too sure though, I would hate having trouble taking in and out of my pocket...

I called so many best buys around me and they told me they stopped carrying Tmobile products. Never looked online hah.
However, one best buy mobile at a mall next to my house was willing to price match magenta day.that's how I got this phone for 50$ flat out with no monthly $20 additional and on classic plan.

THe ballistic case is probably best, I have one and its a bit clunky but its good. Theres no official otterbox for this phone either.

D30 case and zagg is what I have. Dropped my phone twice from about 4-5 feet getting off my truck onto pavement and not a single scratch anywhere and its Slim and lightweight. Of course there is that minor issue with the button pressing.
There is enough hate in the world. Why can't we all get along here ...?
Trident Aegis case with SGP Ultra Crystal screen protector is the best combo. The screen protector is easy to apply and you wouldn't notice its even on. The Aegis is one of the best with good protection and great quality materials with options to choose different colors. Ballistic is good as well with a extra bulk for extra protection especially from drops.
Ghost Armor and the Ballistics case.Thats what I use,and it fits right in a Large genuine imitation leather belt clip case I bought from a gas station.
I'd have to say that the D3o case is probably the best cell phone case I've used. The lining of the case is made out of a very protective polymer named after the case, D3o. It's used for military, medial and sports applications.
I was skeptical about the $25 price tag at t-mobile but I was more than pleased when I purchased it. I've dropped the phone on concrete, cement, etc without batting an eye. The material of the case is breathable and dissipates heat very well. Easy to hold with different color options.
Needless to say, the main thing about the case is the shock absorption. Nothing I've ever seen before. Not the best link but here's a demo of what the lining is made out of. You can get it at a t-mobile branch if not, online. As the previous post about D3o mentioned, the buttons are a bit tough to push in at first. I heard that after a while, they become more pliable but I used the "exacto-knife" trick and cut slits (completely invisible) on the top and bottom of the buttons. This makes them a lot easier to manage.

As mentioned above, I'd go with a Ballistic case or the Trident case. I have two D30 cases but stopped using them since my friend's SG2 developed a crack while using that case. They're also very tough to get off without feeling that you're breaking your phone.
I got the trident Aegis.
Will be here soon. The Ballistic case, is nice, but a bit too bulky IMO. And green is my favorite color ^^
Thanks for the screen recommendation. Will look into it.
so as you guys know , I made the review for the defender and now its time for the commuter!
Very sleek, sexy and portable case. Minimum bulk while delivering great protection. A little slippery on the back but i can handle that
For me..ill take this case over the defender any day of the week.
Enjoy!

I got mine a few days ago and it's great. It doesn't make the phone to bulky at all and looks and feels great.
I convinced my brother to buy one after I dropped (test) it shoulder-high on the ceramic floor, twice. Still shiny new. The past reviews that I read were pushing me away from the commuter but I can honestly say it delivers protection and it's not that bulky. It doesn't pick up that much dust, and my phone is always in and out of my pocket. also, when you get the hang of it, you can put the case and remove it in 2 seconds. I don't know why people were hating on it. I don't use the extended batteries, gsm.
Has anyone crammed a VZW Gnex with the extended battery into the Commuter? Right now I'm just using a cheapo gel skin, but I'm in and out of the case a lot and it's starting to stretch.
Those cases make me cringe. Such beautiful phones being destroyed by cases.

I Rather rock a case than to have a destroyed phone
Honestly Im a HUGE fan of rocking my phone naked..however I cant afford a new phone every time I drop it (and with my dropping skills it happens pretty often). Thats why i stick with the thinnest cases possible that still give good protection (sgp,diztronic,commuter,etc)

Yea I have it and it fits fine. You may want to take the battery cover off. That's what I do

Same here. If you choose not to cover your phone, that is your given right. However, when you have an unlocked device you're running a big enough risk as it is.
Also the VZW users may want to check this guy's mod out.

i had the commuter for my captivate and decided to try one for my gnex but returned it. it is one of the best fitting dual layer case that ive tried but i dont like how the outer hard shell is so slippery and the lines down it make it look cheap. the case was just as slippery as the naked gnex.
i bought the incipio silicrylic instead, it doesnt fit at tight as the commuter but is a bit thinner since the lip is not as high. the silicrylic feels so much better to hold with its rubber coating on the hard shell and exposed silicon on the sides and top. another downside is the incipio attracts more dirt than the commuter but its not as bad as some people say.
I had this case...pushing the buttons thru the case was a pain so I returned it! And pulling the battery is a true *****! In terms of protection, its great though! No doubt! I don't use a case anymore but I highly recommend if you're in the US to just go to ur local Verizon store and grab an incipio, fits better and pushing the buttons are easy! Plus they give u a stand too! Although I returned that also cuz this phone is too sexy and sleek to cover up, in my opinion of course!

I bought my GNex slightly used (1 month old), the previous owner had the Commuter one the GNex from day one, which was cool because I knew I was buying a used device that was most likely to be in mint condition... and it was. It has GREAT protection and IMO the corners having the interlining exposed was a great design because if/when you drop the phone, it's most likely to land on a corner first.
THAT said however... I'm currently NOT using it and decided to go with something slimmer ONLY because I've developed a habit of typing ONLY with Swype with ONE hand, it started when I had the Nexus ONE... and I got pretty good at it... The problem is... the GNex being bigger, Swyping with one hand is now more of an effort because I don't have big hands. WITH the Commuter case, it was simply more work... I'm keeping the Commuter for now, and would totally still be using it if it wasn't for the Swype thing.
So I'm browsing through the electronics section at Wal-Mart looking for a wireless mouse and I happen to stumble upon a new case for our phone. At first I'm thinking, "Oh, so now we have an Otterbox Defender!" Then I look at the box and it's a Body Glove!
I looked online for this case, but cannot even find it on the Body Glove website. I took a few pictures of it. It looks pretty good. It's a little bulky, but not too much. Very sturdy. The case is three parts - two for the inner hard plastic and one for the outer rubber-like shell. It's much easier to install than the Otterbox cases, but really feels just as protective - for less as well (paid less than $40). I said "Defender-like", so yes it comes with a holster - and it's almost identical to the Defender holsters.
Have any of you guys seen this case in any local stores? It feels like a pretty good one.
I haven't seen one in stores yet...because i have not been looking for one. I will see if i can find it...

Apparently this is very new. Military tested specs, and it feels and looks much better than the Otterbox. I'm using a Thunderbolt for work with the Otterbox Defender. They look similar from a distance, but the look and feel in your hands is not even close. They also had one for the GS3. After several days of use, this has to be the best looking, best feeling, sleekest (relatively speaking, of course) heavy duty shock resistant case I've owned (and I've owned quite a few over the years).

Got this today and just luving it. Had the Body Glove Diamond white case before and it was a good quality but the Tough Suit case is perfect. Not too thick, built like a tank, this is the new batmobile from Christian Bale's Batman Trilogy if the other thin and slick cases are the stealthy slick batmobiles from the past xD
How are the buttons? Are they nice and tactile or stiff and mushy? That's what's bugging me about the D30 Impact case. The buttons are way too stiff and mushy (and before someone says I should hit the gym, I'm no chump. I can press them just fine, it's just annoying).
Just ordered one of these http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-OEM-Whi...727&pid=100015&prg=1006&rk=1&sd=290717667572& I think I'll review it once I get it.

Got my Body Glove Diamond case a week ago and reviewed it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2004609
I also bought the black body glove case at Walmart and after 24 hours I'm loving it. The only gripe I had was the built in screen protector. I have zagg so I took a razor knife and cut it out. Couldn't ask for a better case.
I want one of these cases, but I can't find it anywhere.
Love my seidio active case and holster. Better than my old phones otterbox!
Just saying!

$100 for the armor case? Seriously? The lifeproof is a proven design and only cost around $80, where does otterbox get $100? IMO it also is a little ugly, although it looks better than the seidio.

The seidio obex ( life proof case ) not as good people make it out to be... my friend has had three of them. And had to replace his phone twice because of that seidio. Btw the seidio not good up to 6 ft. Only about 4 ft any deeper it starts leaking because of the pressure. Imo id take the otter box hands down all models to commuter defender armor case
Also have you checked ebay or amazon for cheaper prices ?
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy s3
I think it's a reasonable price when you take into consideration that the Seidio''s Obex case is priced at $80. I'm sure Lifeproof will have theirs priced in the same ballpark. I'm really looking into buying a waterproof case. If Lifeproof doesn't at least post a picture of their case up soon I'll be buying Otterbox when it's released. Otterbox has proven itself time and time again and their customer service is second to none.
Seems fair, when the LifeProof first came out for the Iphone it was 90..if LifeProof keeps taking their time I'll go with the otterbox, have a defender and love it..

$100 is alot but what bother me is the timing, They been teasing us for like a month now and they announce it yesterday thinking that it will go on-sale today for next week but no, we have to wait another 3 months. By that time we will be debating on should we get the Galaxy S4

Yeah but the defender doesn't cost $100. The other thing I can't wait to find out is if they used the same Defender-type screen on the armor. The defenders screen protector is IMO basically useless, I don't know how any of you can use it. I don't know if it's due to the type of screen the s3 uses but the defender for iphone is pretty nice, the screen protector doesn't degrade the screen quality much if at all. If any of you have never seen the s3 inside a defender, the screen protector makes nice little star bursts all over your entire screen, it's terrible!

Actually I hope they use the same material to make the screen protector as the defender, I bought the seidio waterproof and the screen protector was horrible, I couldn't even use swype , and in the defender, it might look bad but at least it doesn't affect the touch sensibility.

Its a rainbow effect. Its from the plastic of the screen protector getting too much grease marks on it. I popped mine out because of that. Sucks though too because the case gets loose without the protector in.
The only material that's equal in both preserving look and sensitivity of the touchscreen is plexiglass. Ivyskin case company in new jersey uses it with their iPhone cases. Plexiglass is easy to shatter though unless its thicker.

The defenders problem isn't the oils from your fingers, without touching it the screen still looks awful. As for materials, have you ever used a lifeproof case? The screen still looks great and sensitivity isn't affected at all. I don't know what they make it out of but I'm pretty sure it isn't plexiglass.

I have defender - if you wipe your phone, and your galaxy's screen with a rag (that comes with sun glasses). And the you wipe protective screen from inside and outside (but really good, to eliminate all microscopic dust particles - it will stay like this. Sure you better not to throw your phone in dusty places - will be ok.
And it's protective screen, not just a plastic. If you need something for beauty - buy thin cases and be happy If you love running at the morning/mountain biking/ and other sport/action - you will be happy with that case. And it's look great.
But what really annoying for me it's a power button is hardly pressed when in case. I have to push the button a little harder.
And at all - i love my case, purchased at eBay i got it for 30$ with delivery in 1 week (from Hong Kong, straight from the factory )
Just check eBay for Galaxy S3 Armor Series, may be there will be cheaper deal. I know some waterproof case, that cost a lot more (can't remember the brand).
But who d f need waterproof case? Seriously. I can swim without phone, it's ok
I'm really starting to hate Otterbox.
paying $70.00 for a case that one does not defend "Defender" the phone.
I now have 3 cracked Samsung Galaxy s3's all with Otterbox So called Defender Cases. now can anyone please tell me why it's called "Defender" if it does not defend the phone?
Also paying $70.00 and always having issues with the bumper always slipping off the damn plastic case.

I honestly believe otterbox dropped the ball with the defender series. But i can say from personal experience otterbox armor series, though it makes the phone a brick, it gives the best protection.

Depending on what you're trying to protect it from, the UAG, Defender, ShockSuit etc cases all work well.
I've dropped my S3 with all of the above from varying heights to various surfaces and the phone is perfect and cases not much worse for wear.
Search YouTube for video reviews of the various cases, they can give you a pretty good idea.
Please stop with the OT

Well I'm going to give otterbox one more try. Went to bestbuy to see if they had the Armor but they did not so they told me that they can order it for me so I said sure.
Now I have a question does otterbox offer a warranty for my phone if the armor does not live up to what otterbox says it can live up to (so if i get water damage, phone drop, ect)?
I mean paying over $100.00 (Reg $99.99 plus tax - Paid around $91.00 after taxes as it was on sale). with the claims that otterbox claims the case can withstand.
It would make sense that they offer a warranty for my phone. If not the case is has been false-advertised and is misleading.

One more thing if otterbox does not offer a warranty what case manufacturer does?
Thanks.
Not sure about the warranty on the armor. Only reason I stayed away from it is due to complaints about the sound quality during calls. Since I have no need for the crush resistance aspect, I went with Lifeproof (needed the water protection). I know Lifeproof will not replace your phone and the warranty terms for it clearly state that the cases are not a replacement for insurance.

I got the free replacement too (iPhone 4S), but it's too bad that the new one is already becoming stretched out and sloppy after only a couple months. I'll be sending off for warranty replacement for my iPad Mini Defender soon, and I'm otherwise done with Otterbox. Too much money for a greatly disappointing product.
Also bought one for my wife's Samsung Google Nexus, and that's in pretty bad shape too for being 8 months old and spending a good chunk of its time inside a purse pocket.
thanks to this forum I didn't get an otterbox because of posts like this with people saying how it cracks the screen and they aren't as well made for samsung as they are for iphones and other phones. Went with the Body Glove Tough Suit which was suggested on here and it was $30 at wal mart. Working like a charm for over 4 months now, lots of drops and no damage. Just think I'd like a waterproof case now thats not a whole lot bigger in size so I've been checking out the new Griffin Survivor cases they carry in Wal Mart now for $30-$40. Says its waterproof and haven't seen a whole lot about them on here or people talking about the quality and toughness of the case compared to others. Mostly need a new case thats dustproof and light waterproof would be nice too. Can't seem to keep dust out with the case I have now and using my phone while its raining and not being cautious of a drop in water is always a plus because you really never know when something will happen.
I'm willing to pay more for a better case but since the cheap one I have now has worked so good for me, I'm thinking this Survivor one might turn out as good as my Body Glove.

The Griffin survivor is not water proof but rather water resistant. I'd had one before my otterbox armor series, loved it. But needed completely waterproof.

How do you like the armor case? Looks pretty sweet.
