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.

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.

the red case is worth it! they indeed saved the best for last....
I ordered mine yesterday. Kinda surprised I haven't received a shipping notification for it yet. How long after you ordered did it ship?
Looks good, btw.
I ordered mine day before yesterday (afternoon) and it just shipped today. I think they were buried with orders. At least it didn't take as long as Otterbox did.
yeah when they were sending out the gray ones during christmas week, that and the bad weather caused a LOT of delays.
if you placed an order in the morning with these guys, they ship out the next day. i have purchased all 3 cases from them and that is exactly how they shipped to me.
i didnt get any bubble wrap in this one though..
Demand your money back. Or a free case of bubble wrap. Glad I waited for the red,it looks great!
now you just need to mod it for the 2600mah batt...
WOW that is hot! how'd the kick stand turn out? better than the defenders I hope

the kickstand on these cases is nice. i posted a vid on the gray one i first received and the stand snapped off.. but due to the design of the stand, it seems to "detach" from its connection point rather than break in half like the otterbox.

Dang, guess I should have waited a few more days and saved a few bucks. Thought it would be a little longer before they hit ebay so I ordered directly from Ballistic as soon as I got the email that they were available. I didn't get mine yet, hopefully it comes on Monday.

I'm going to hold out for some reviews before I buy from ebay, just to make sure it's not a knock off.
Yeah, that's always a possibility with ebay.
Looks like they are on Amazon too.

I will update if its legit when I receive it and take some pics. I mainly bought it because its shipped from California so it should only take a day or 2 to get here. I'm hoping by Tuesday. I'm pretty sure they're legit though judging from the feedback and all.

My guess is that you're probably right. I'm still glad you're the one taking the risk on the first one
I'll get one once as you give the thumbs up!
this company likely purchased these direct form Ballistic. since the amazon company is a wholesaler, they can sell this at reduced costs. this is one reason why an item you see online is cheaper than seeing it in a brick and mortar... i would imagine its totally legit...
but if you are in doubt, just call up Ballistic and just ask them if this company is legit...
I'm pretty sure the eBay ones ad amazon ones are from the same company by the way

I went ahead and just ordered the red/black through Amazon's 3rd party seller "G.I.N. Deals". Can't beat it for $30.99 and free shipping. Worst case at least Amazon is in the middle so if anything goes wrong they will intervene. I must say the seller does have very high rating/reviews so they seem very legit. Ballistic got my money on the grey/black case so I couldn't pass this deal up!
Got mine today, much better than my broken Seidio "Rugged" case. My only 2 complaints are that the headphone port cover could snap closed a little better, and the case is extremely difficult to remove once you put it on. I guess that's good in a way because I know it won't just pop off if I drop it, but I definitely would't recommend this case to anyone that does frequent battery changes.
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 may hold out for a Barely There case...
I'm hoping this gets adapted to the Sprint version soon:

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.

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.

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.

Actually the Sprint version's corners are rounder while att is square-er and wider
Made possible by my sexy LG Optimus 4X HD (P880)
Sorry, I meant edges are rounded and whole device is wider on the AT&T version. Not the corners. ADHD kicking in...

Still waiting for my replacement. Hard to believe this phone is back ordered like this. I did go pick up an otterbox for when it arrives it can go straight into a case.

ZooGue has just launched a pretty stellar deal on their Social Case line. They are made from special TPU. They are lightweight, slim and have a soft comfortable soft gripping surface. The Social Case’s come in 7 different colors to fit any ones lifestyle. They appear to be pretty stellar cases. The Product reviews are all raving about them and have a near five-star rating.
It is kind of hard to say no for just $0.99. The shipping is a flat rate $3.99, which puts you at just under $5.00 for slick new case to protect your Galaxy S III.
Head over to ZooGue.com to get your order placed. They clearly give you the promo code on the order page. Better hurry though, we have no idea how long this sale will last.

The 3.99 shipping is per case! so ordering more than one per order increases shipping rate

I picked up 4 for me and the wife back when they were free. They're as good as advertised, easily worth the $10 or whatever when they're not on special.

Perfect case!
I ordered a white one and a red one. The fit and quality is perfect, exactly what I have been searching for. I'll never have to look for the perfect case for my S3 again. Just one thing though, the red is not quite as dark as shown on the ZooGue website.
I picked one up when they had them for a penny + shipping on a whim. I love it. Great feel to it, the ridges on the sides are nice for grip. All the cut out line up perfectly. The only thing I dislike is the logo on the back. It's sunken plastic (same material) but glassy black on my matte case. Not a big deal at all, but I'd prefer it without logos, but I still love the case.

Are these cases any good?
The $1 seems very cheap. I know I could order 10 and still not really waste any money .
Also the case I used seemed to get dust between it and my phone causing small rubbing marks.
