I don't think anything in any type of case would survive such a drop. Maybe a Nokia stick phone. But that's about it.

thank god it wasnt my phone lol... I wonder how a defender would have taken it tho..
We were out on our bikes today and my friend wanted to mount it to his gas tank and used double sided velcrow.. It worked fine at normal speeds, but in the high 100s, that thing flewwwwwwwwww!
If it was realky anywhere near that fast its not that bad, yeah it's f***ed but it's not totally blown apart..

Yeah but that was the shear impact that destroyed it. Defender has it's own screen protector to cover the screen. Nothing more than a thin piece of plastic. I actually feel the commuter has more impact protection cause it has the harder case behind the soft shell thus dispersing the impact over a wider area allowing the soft shell to absorb it. And like I said, I highly doubt anything would have survived that.

Time to get this case reviewed right?
Honestly, if i had to choose between this and the commuter i would pick this one up. Feels really solid and after a 10 mile hike at zion with some drops , it proved its point.

Yeah, u forgot one thing though. The builtin screen protector sucks. I just took mine off yesterday and added a best skin ever screen protector with my defender case and its awesome! Perfect combination.

When you say a new case, do you mean holster/case? I was walking and my holster caught something and the clip broke off. The case is also squeaky and the lip of the case is getting loose and is starting to expose the plastic edges.

Cool. I'll fire off an email to them then. I have my zoogue cases and will probably order a UAG, commuter, or ballistic to hold me over.
Are you guys taking the case on and off frequently or just naturally happens?
And by proof, is the original packaging good enough?
Yeah the corners don't have a rail like the sides to snap into. They're sending me a complete otterbox to replace mine. Maybe they have fixed the design.

No, it cracked from about a 6 inch slide. That's the worst part about it. There's not a single mark on my phone because it was in a case when it happened. I called Samsung and they have to evaluate whether the damage was caused by me or some sort of manufacturing defect. I'm almost positive they're gonna rule against me despite how ridiculous the circumstances were.

It was just some plastic case that Target (ironically) had on clearance. I kinda regret that decision...
It mostly depend on the point of impact. If you dropped it directly at it's corner, it'll most likely crack. And I feel the screen on this phone cracks way too easily. I've dropped it once on my bed. Luckily the screen didn't crack.
I have minor scratches on my screen from I have no clue what, I've had a case on it since day one and never lay my phone on its front only on the back and it has minor but noticeable scratches. Annoying and very weak GG

Just curious. I got my SIII on the 29th and haven't bothered with a case yet. My previous phone was an archaic Motorola Razr V3m that I had for 5 years and in that time I only dropped it a couple times on the carpet, and once it hit my closet door track which did put a ding on it. I'm thinking of just forgoing a case.
Only have ghost armor in mine. No hard case.
Dropped quite a few times. Usually just the battery case pops off in the harder falls. One fall left an slight dent that I didn't even notice till later.
Have dropped on sides and front. No screen cracks yet. No scratches...only because of the skin that covers the full body.

Yeah I plan on keeping mine for a while at least when my manufactures warranty is coming to an end I'll have a legit reason to get a brand new/refurb phone.
Yea those dark spots were bad on the t989 actually very bad. The gs3 is a long way from that but this is definitely the result of their amoled screen
I'm using a D30 case from T-Mobile but I have never dropped my phone, I rarely leave it out unless it's on the charger when I'm in bed. I don't get how people don't protect their devices in some way.
The glass of this phone seems to cracked too easily, so I bought a case for this phone. This is the first phone I ever feel that need a case. I had the galaxy s and the iphone 4 and both were never in a case.

I'm returning my Otterbox Commuter in favour of this Seidio Active case. (I've only had my N2 for a week).
I know the Otterbox is much better in terms of protection but I find the slick hardshell combined with its size makes my N2 hard to hold.
Hopefully this Seidio Active provides enough protection in case I drop my phone onto the floor.
I won't be baking or freezing my new phone though.

Cars can get pretty hot inside with windows rolled up in heat of summer.
95degF can lead to an inside air temperature 149degF + in just 15 minutes , Longer the car remains unopened the hotter it gets you can bake cookies.

If you think the seidio active is gonna be less slick, I think you're in for a surprise. Though I've never used the commuter, I was using an active before the defender came out, and I kept feeling like it was gonna slide out of my hand. Not to mention how loose the rubber part is.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda premium
I've had my Seidio Active for several days now. Way better traction than the Otterbox Commuter. Nowhere near the protection, but certainly more practical.
The commuter is very slick and much much larger. Its hard to hang on to with one hand, and I have rather large hands.

I don't need a case because I'm perfect and never drop my phone. Never. Ever. Not once. Ever.
No way

So she freezes it, then bakes it, then throws it down a flight of stairs and then drops it. I'm sure the cooking and freezing would already compromise the integrity of the glass. She's hella annoying.

I really woudn't be surprized if she did all this the same day, or within a few hours. Theres no way ANY piece of glass could go from frozen to baked to being kicked around without breaking LOL.
In vegas we had glass just break sitting outside on the glass truck at 120 degree in mid summer

If you think the seidio active is gonna be less slick, I think you're in for a surprise. Though I've never used the commuter, I was using an active before the defender came out, and I kept feeling like it was gonna slide out of my hand. Not to mention how loose the rubber part is.

I agree. I had an Active before the Defender. The Active is much more slippery, stick with the Otter.
I can verify from first hand experience that his phone does not take even a small drop onto a hard surface well. My first one slipped out of my pocket and fell no more than 30 inches onto pavement and it looked like it had been ran over by a dump truck. Get a case and never look back folks.
