Otterbox fail (broken screen 4 no reason) - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Had an otter box commuter on my phone since day one. Took the phone put of my pocket and it fell on the top right corner from waist height. Just a little drop, nothing major.

The silicon in this case is way too pliable... it actually was pushed put of the way & the screen touched the ground, cracking.
Newer commuter cases for the s3 have silicon of a much harder makeup, so this isn't an issue. The silicon won't move or stretch with age.
I have filed a complaint with otterbox. This is ridiculous. For a company who claims to be so awesome, they better be sending me a free case or money to fix my screen.
Guess I'll be going caseless for a while, seeing as how the commuter didn't do anything except take up space in my pocket and enlarge my phone.

I see a very minor chip in that picture. Now let's think about it; you dropped the phone with a commuter case on it and the glass chipped a small bit. Imagine if you had no case? The glass would have been shattered completely.

That's why I'm part of the "scared users" that doesn't drop the phone on the ground even if it costs our lifes. The Nexus screen isn't THAT resistant. I like the oleophobic glass a lot, but it's resistance is a shame.

Actually, what makes the screen fingerprint resistant is just a coating (namely, the oleophobic coating). Shouldn't have to do with its strengthness or anything.

The galaxy nexus has fortified glass. People don't seem to understand that this device was not engineered to survive drops. Sure it may survive one or two drops buts that just luck. There are devices designed to survive drops.

That sucks man, I'd be pissed too. I'm not surprised though. I bought my gnex on eBay and it came with an otterbox case.I only used it for a bit before getting a trident aegis. Not as slippery, and better reinforced silicon corners. It s not perfect, but I think the protection/design is superior to otterbox.

Tonight I dreamed I had broken my Gnex screen! First time I did when I woke up was look at the phone, I was scared! I already broke my previous SGS II screen and that gave me head aches.

I've never dropped my device when it was my own fault. It usually is because I'm horsing around with friends and it drops but that's happened once and it landed on carpet.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

I sent photos of the case to otterbox, and they deemed it defective and are sending me a new commuter case.
This dowsnt fix the busted screen, which has gotten worse and now effects the entire front of the device, however I'm happy with otter box for honoring their warranty.
I'll look into paying to fix the screen after the case shows up.

Here's what the screen looks like now :/ crack got way worse. May use a backup phone until I get this fixed.

Until the crack spreads some more or the screen breaks completely I wouldn't consider it worth replacing the screen. The crack is annoying but a screen replacement is what?$170?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Yeah my thoughts exactly. I'm currently using my backup device just for kicks. The busted screen on the gnex makes me so sad lol. I'll get sick of the sgs2 after a few days and pry resume using the gnex.
The kicker is that otterbox is sending me a new case in the mail too. I don't really see the point of using a case now that the screen is already messed up.

I have the Zagg dry INVISIBLEshield and the D3O case on mine. The case barely adds any thickness to the phone, yet will protect it in case you drop it.

Yes, I always use a case. Partly for protection cause I'm really OCD about my phones, and partly for style(lotsa cute cases on ebay, lol).
Have a D30 case on it with T-mo screen protector. Have to protect my investment. Knowing me, and the slick slim phone, i'd drop it constantly. The case gives it a little more girth and grip.
Naked for me. Phones are too sexy to put in a case. It's like throwin body armor and a poncho on a supermodel.

I have the D3O case with Ghost Armor SP.
like it a lot
I've dropped enough phones to appreciate the extra protection a case gives.
I'm really happy with my D3O case, it seems like it'll do a good job protecting the phone, and it really doesn't add much bulk at all.
I had a case but this looks ugly...everyone asks me: is that the new iphone. So i took it off and just put a screen protector.

Naked currently but just before buying this I cracked the screen on my vibrant after a years use. I think just to be safe I may get one.

Case manufacturers...

Whats the deal with company's like Otterbox, RearthUSA, SGP Store and not even attempting to make cases for this phone. It's a bit aggravating looking at their selection of cases for the AT&T version of our phone.
I have used Ringke and SGP cases on almost every phone I have owned recently and would really like to have another one. If any of you have used these case types before could you recommend an alternative that you have found searching around? I spend many hours looking around and just keep seeing the same old stuff nothing new.
On 2nd though I really don't know. I just wish we had a selection like the iPhone does

It's the same way with Verizon's gnex. The GSM version so far has all the best cases
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
It may be because GSM is a lot more popular (US and abroad) rather than CDMA. Most of these case manufacturers are also based in Europe and such, so they have access to those phones first... At least that's what the little voice in my head tells me.

The white isn't on the website, but I just ordered one off amazon about a week and a half ago in white and grey and it came in a sprint box just as ordered. The pink one I tried to find for my sister was actually the one that I couldn't find, despite it being on the website.

It all comes down to money. Engineering a new case and having molds made is extremely expensive, plus you have other manufacturing costs as well. If a company doesn't think they can sell enough cases to make a profit, they aren't going to make cases for that phone. Obviously several if the case manufacturers have decided the money just isn't there with the E4GT, so they aren't making cases for it.

To give you a serious answer, even if the screen protector itself was bullet proof, your phone would take too much shock and ruin all of the internal components anyway. So no, they're not for real.

Yes they are REAL!. They come with bulletproof vest also which the owner wont die after being shot at.
If the owner dies, your S3 will be stolen. Better buy a thief proof protector also.
I have these screen protectors as well. I actually shot it with some 9mm and some 5.56mm FMJ. Just scratched the protector. Didn't damage the phone at all.
I've bought a good few of hundred of them, its saved me a fortune what with the economy atm. I've been bullet proofing my car with them, have you seen how much companies charge for re-enforcement of body panels and ballistic glass these days!!! I've also taped 74 to a t-shirt to give me a cheap ballistic vest, I had to use tape as I could find anyway to pierce the plastic film even with a diamond tipped drill bit, so if you want to do the same make sure you over lap a bit, you don't want that round sneaking in between the screen protectors.
Due to the flexibility of the film, I'm thinking of making a whole range of items bullet proof pants to bullet proof umbrellas, plus much much more
Sorry, bit carried away and bored.

Ok, I couldn't resist commenting on this thread lol. So, I apologize ahead of time if my response isn't well received. First of all, I don't think the OP was serious about the screen protector being bullet proof on the phone (I hope) maybe just that by the protector itself being advertised that way in some way meant that it will withstand much more than the average protector?? Anyway.... To my point.... PLASTIC will indeed stop bullets.... And that "military grade glass"actually has a form of plastic in between the two layers of glass, just like your windshield.

The screen protector rocks it was easy to install compared to any other I've done and screwed up! At first there where a few spots that I was sceptical about but they have worked them selves out over the last 2 hours(adhesive had to dry) I would really say this is a superior product. I'm really glad I waited. The screen felt hard to move your finger across at first now it is as smooth as butter. Its really hard to tell there is even a screen protector on the phone it is very clear. My only complaint is that other does hold finger prints. I love it I give it 5 stars!!!

I agree the protector felt "sticky" for the first day or so. I was worried that would be permanent. Now, as you say, it's smooth as butter. While it does hold fingerprints, I find it easy to clean. I'm pleased with mine.
My only problem has been the curves, as you would expect. While this is MUCH better than anything else I have tried, there just does not seem to be enough "stick" at the edges and the air keeps creeping in. Having said that, it's not getting as far as the screens active area.
I'll give it 8/10. Most only get 6 or lower.
Martin Fields have been my 9/10s in the past but they have really dropped the ball with the SGS3.. They are barely 5/10s on the SGS3.
Thia is an awesome screen protector. Used both sp on original phone and the replacement and it took one try each. Im usually one who ends up ruining 2/3 protectors and going into mad rage and making up curses....but this was so easy and looks like its not even there. If your squegee the outer layer too much u will get more orange peel effect than not so try to take the bubbles out in least amt of scrapes...but it won't be noticable unless you're looking for it and when the screen is off which is no biggie. Clear as hell and so nice...sgp screen protectors win again....this is my second phone with it. And I am pleased
Go order one:thumbup:

Damn just got a seido surface case and put it on and the edge peeled up and made the screen protector bubble up I guess I could replace it with the second protector but maybe I should wait until this one gets worse guess ill go back to my spigen modello case.

^^ Mine's on the way also. What's your impression so far?
It has a thin feels like I have nothing on my phone at all.. It does how ever make the power button really sensitive to touch.. I like the feel of it

Nice. Can't wait to get mine. Although I might be getting screwed over by the site I ordered from (it's been a week since they "shipped" it but the tracking number is still invalid)
Got mine in today and liking it very much. It feels like it adds maybe about an extra 0.5 - 1 mm vs the Diztronic. Its definitely thicker than the Diztronic but not by much. In exchange for that slight extra thickness, it feels like it would absorb a drop better than the Diztronic and the lip around the edge of the screen is also a little thicker. The buttons are also easier to press with the Incipio vs the Diztronic and the headphone cutout is a little larger also. I also prefer the soft touch paint coating of the Incipio. Both are great cases but I think the slightly better protection the Incipio offers over the Diztronic will make it the case I use on a daily basis.
Update: case is great but super sensitive around the power button I do like it tho phone feels better in hand than with generic eBay case

Hmm... just noticed something, I wonder why the back camera hole is "AT&T" style...

Yeah I bought one and it slightly covers the lens, it's not quite cut for the LS970 version around the camera. I am decidling if I should send it back and get an Otterbox instead.

I just bought the otter box case and it's a much better fit than the incipio case think I'm going to sell my incipio case

I am starting to think it might be a design/manufacturing error on incipio's part. Maybe it's supposed to be for AT&T version of the phone but they use the Sprint version dimension instead, or vise versa. That would explain why it's still not showing up on incipio's website.
Anyway kratos313 how's the otterbox compare to the incipio when it comes to thickness & size?
