otterbox Commuter for galaxy s3

Trident Kraken when it will be for galaxy s3?
Trident CYCLOP?

up

I havent got to play with it yet, but i had Ottterbox on my last phone (4S), and im gonna warn you, if you're going with otterbox, you're gonna have a tank in you're pocket.
Plus, it's really expensive.
For myself, I bought TPU Gel Silicone Skin Cover one ebay.
black one. It's cheap, and really looks good!

Had a Otterbox Defender for the iPhone 4 for about a week and gave it away. I hated everything about it. I especially hated the screen protector so it got punched out after a couple of days and I put another Body Guardz protector on it. After a week, it was back to the Mophie and Goodwill got the case.
I talked my wife into getting a Kraken for her hand-me-down phone, the Nexus. It's awesome. The Kraken for the GS3 is supposed to be shipping by the end of July so I'm hoping it won't be delayed. I already pre-ordered one from Amazon. I think the Otterbox is supposed to be out around 7/20 or so.

Had an otterbox for my droid razr and it was such a nice case! buttons were easy to press and the case wasn't as bulky. I decided to try the trident aegis case this time around. I'll review it a bit once I get it.

"a bit"?
kind of like saying Jenna Jameson was "a bit" of a porn star...

I got mine about a week ago and haven't used it for the last 4 days. I had the same case for my s2 & loved it, I thought it was an improvement to the phone. I have a couple of gripes with the s3 case but basically I just missed the sleek & smooth feel of the phone. My other gripes are
1. The buttons are a little too big, I don't have a problem with them being hard to press, especially as I always have my s3 in landscape and without the case I was always accidentally pressing the volume buttons.
2. It's just a little too big, and that's coming from a dell streak user. I just find the new cas a bit cumbersome, it doesn't look good with the curves.
3. I prefer the softer silicone inner on the s2 model, this is a lot firmer, making it a bugger to take off & put on.
4. The screensaver is pretty poor, I understand why they couldn't go right to the curved edge but it ONLY JUST! covers the display part of the screen, meaning you're constantly feeling the edge of it when swiping from the edge of the screen. I reckon i'll be too sick of that too and will be going naked.
Love Otterbox products, and I understand there has to be a pay off for the protection but I just don't think it works too well with the s3. IMHO!

(Poll) What case manufacturers do we need to start petitions for?

Tuesday, September 11, 2012
XDA Members & Note 10.1 Owners:
Okay. So now we finally have a means of purchasing the official Samsung book cover for our wonderful tablets; but where's the variety? Are we to only have leather folio or Samsung book cover as our choices? I'm noticing a serious lack of variety in the accessories department here. Even my Tab 7.7/GT-P6810 (Which was a total flop; due to price, not quality. It was the best tablet I've ever owned.) had a decent selection of cases.
So which accessory and/or case manufacturers do we need to start petitions for.... Otterbox, Ballistic, Spigen, Speck, Trident, CaseMate, Belkin? Personally, I think a shiny black Speck Candyshell to match the one on my GT-N7000 would be perfect. They do scuff something aweful though. Maybe an Otterbox Commuter; not to flimsy, not too bulky? What do you guys think? Post below!
Thank you,
Edward (Mister_Mxyzptlk)

I really enjoyed my case for my nook color by JAVOedge. Tweed Book Case.
They had made cases for the Galaxy Tab 10.1 Austin Axis Case.
I like the fact that their Galaxy Tab 10.1 case didn't use the standard cover the bezel approach to hold it that so many case manufactures like to do was a major plus to me. I just want something that isn't completely leather or plastic. If I could just find a holder like that for the Note 10.1 I would try to Frankenstein that Axis case for my Note 10.1.

I would love to have a Trident Kraken or Otter Defender. I sent an email to Trident asking if they had plans for a note 10.1 case but didn't get much of a response out of them.

I also had a really nice case for my NOOK Color. It was an Otterbox Commuter. I used it on my NOOK Tablet too. It was fantastic! I got rid of my NOOK Color in December and my NOOK Tablet in February; but I still have the Commuter case. I really wish I would have kept my NOOK Tablet. That was such a cool little gadget. Personally, I think gadgets are more fun when you have to hack them and repurpose them to do what you want. Hacking the NOOK Tablet and turning it into a fully functional tablet was just a lot of fun. It made me really appreciate the thing. Between my NOOK Tablet and my Galaxy Tab 7.7 (GT-P6810), I don't know which one I regret selling more. They were both so great.
Anyway, with that being said, I'd really like to see a Commuter case made for the Note 10.1. I would say that a Defender case might be better; but as a case meant for a tablet, I think that the gummy, silicone feel of a Defender case would be a little weird. I absolutely loved the feel of the hard plastic outer shell on my NOOK Tablet's Commuter case. It felt nice and solid, but not gummy and/or overly bulky. I'd like to petition Otterbox for a Commuter case. Would you guys jump on if I started a Note 10.1 Commuter case petition thread?

I'm more interested in a Hard Case type, something like a Defender from Otterbox. I went on Facebook for Otterbox and asked if they had plans to release a case for the Note 10.1, there response was "Not at this time"

I think there are a lot of cases out of the Note 10.1, at first there weren't but there are now.

There are a lot but seems like 3 maybe 4 styles but multiple companies making variants on those styles. My issue is I want some variety of the materials used. The look of the PU leather is overdone and boring.

I'd get a Trident case if I could get them to make one.

When I had my (ahem, ahem) iPad, I really enjoyed this case, it was not that cheap when I bought it, but it was my favorite:
Click on the pics to go to Amazon website. This thing provided the most protection anything under $50 could buy. The back grooves felt really nice on your palm and you could have held it for hours.

Body Glove "Defender-like" case!!!

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...

OK, here are photos of the case this thread is talking about. Not much info on the case itself, and I threw the box away pretty quickly.
I took pictures of the box in the store. Its like $38. They show up fine in my gallery, so not sure why tapatalk is turning them sideways.

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.

I'm using this case as well and it fits perfectly and adds the exact amount of weight and size to it. Only thing was I got ripped off haha I think I paid 20 something for it and saw it on amazon for less than half of that. But I needed a case asap.

My co-worker has one of these on his black T989, he's happy with it, however I don't believe he's ever really dropped it so no drop-test experience with it. Oh, and those cases were also being sold at the T-Mobile store, for $29.95 label, no discount for clearing stock.

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!

I wish UAG would make a case for the N5, just got one for wife's S4 and it's awesome.

Got an S4 for the wife and she drops phones so she needs a good case. Going through the S4 forum many people liked UAG and from the pics I hated it, but it had a lot of good reviews and many liked it better than the OB Commuter (which she has on her SII).
So I bit the bullet and ordered it from Amazon with Prime shipping, got it yesterday and I am amazed on how it looks and feels. Very jealous that she has this case on her phone now because it really does just fit perfect.
I also ordered a Spigen slim armor for my N5 at the same time and I have it on my phone for a day, it is ok but nothing special. I have been using the official Google case and LG flip case for a while but returned them for quality reasons. The Spigen is not much smaller than how the official Google case fits, I was expecting it to feel slightly smaller. I really cannot find the right case for my N5, I suspect it is because of the shape of our phone.
If UAG makes a case for any other phone you use, I recommend trying them out.

Had UAG on my HTC One and iPhone 5S and it's the best case I've ever used hands down. I'm the guy that gets a new case has it on for a week and takes it off because I can't stand the feel of a case. I had the UAG on my phones for the entire time I had the phones. EXCELLENT quality case.

I have to say that this is how I feel right now with her S4 and the UAG case, the thought had crossed my mind to give her my N5 and I will keep the S4... lol
But seriously, the UAG is freaking awesome, they really got it right with their cases.
Maybe, just maybe they will make one for the N5... (crosses fingers)

The Nexus 5 exists.
Aside from that, focus on talking about the UAG case and not hijacking it!
The UAG looks sweet!

I completely agree, I had a UAG case for my Note 2 and I loved it. I'd get one for the N5 in a heartbeat if it was available.
I either emailed them or used a contact form on their site, can't remember which, a while ago and got no response.

I have to agree. I had it on my s4 and it was the best case I ever used. Stylish yet very sturdy and protective.

UAG makes hands down the best cases. I had one for my iPhone 5 and for my HTC One. I also bought one for every one of my coworkers last year. I wrote a review of the case for the One back before they were so popular and they still have it on the main page of their site. Pretty neat, IMO. I've been nagging them regularly to make a case for both the Moto X and the Nexus 5. Nothing would make me happier to have a UAG for at least one of my phones.

Yeah I agree. I bought the UAG casing for my HTC One and it's hands down the best phone casing that I have used yet. Hope that they release a N5 version too.

I prefer the toughcase, better grip and protection, slightly less bulk. Agree that either is better than the Otterbox, frankly I think Otterbox is getting out Otterboxed by several competitors nowadays. People who like the UAG cases might do well to check out the Dilex, not as good as either in my opinion but pretty close and probably the best case of the type out now. And another that is better than a commuter IMO.

Heads-up, Otterbox defender.. $47+tax

I wanted to give everyone a heads-up.. Just scored an Otterbox Defender for my Note 10.1 (2014) just over $51 otd
Walmart.com search for item 77-40507 priced at $47.17 (can't post outside link yet)
Several of my local stores (south Alabama) currently have a rack full in stock, maybe your local store does as well...
Make sure to buy online and deliver to store, as they are $89+ on the shelf and Walmart doesn't pricematch Walmart.com.
Awesome case, a bit heavy, but top-notch construction.

I am fond of slim cases as well, but I carry my Note with me daily at work so the extra protection is a decent trade-off, not to mention having something to 'grip'. I don't swap out SD cards, so the slot being covered is not an issue for me. When I need to move a bunch of files, I just plug into my desktop or use and OTG cable with a flash drive.
After a couple days of use, I can say that the Otterbox is exactly what I hoped it would be and am very happy with my purchase. I would not be a buyer at $90 because I can't justify paying 25% of the cost of my refurb tablet, but at $50.. I was all over it.
I was using a Roocase dual view leather case, and it is very nice for a book cover/stand style case, not exactly light, but sturdy and protective. I bought it as my second choice until the Otterbox became available.
Thanks for the heads-up on the SD slot, I know there are folks out there that swap cards.
NOTE: My one concern before I purchases was the built-in screen protector... Totally not an issue, you hardly know it is there, and the screen is still bright, beautiful, and sensitive. Writing feels different... the bare screen is very slick feeling, the Otterbox screen has much more friction.. I read somewhere that someone said it will eventually smooth out and settle somewhere in between, and that would be perfect.

Great find.
Thanks. I got the case and I love it.

ummm the walmart site says this case is, "for Samsung Galaxy Tab PRO 10.1" ... that is not the 2014 Edition.
y'all are saying it fits the 2014 Edition perfect though huh?

Rest assured
I got mine few days ago and it is perfect fit for note 10.1 2014 ed.
All ports line up correctly and also has s-pen slot.
It will work with tampered glasses but I took the built in screen protector from the case off as I didn't like the rainbow effect it created.
I hope it helped.

Not at all.
Just press it firmly at the corner in ward and it will start come apart.
I did, however, use bit of rubbing alcohol to make sure all adhesive are completely removed (just my OCD kicking in lol) to make sure there aren't any residue sticking to the glass.
I checked after a week of use and there weren't any residues
Cheers!

I can also confirm that this case works beautifully. I liked tempered glass so I did remove the original screen protector. Very easy to do. Used Goo-Gone to remove remaining adhesive.
The price at Walmart is down to $39.99. Now the package sticker in the front does say "Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro(10.1) AND Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition". It is fully compatible. Love the protection!!!! :victory:

Is it still easy to use?

Too bad they didn't make a commuter case for the Note 10.1 2014... This Defender seems a tad large. I feel like the wife is not going to like it...

It really isn't that bad, just adds weight

Just purchased the grey/white model for $20.59, including next day shipping. Description does not state it is for the 2014 version, but several reviews indicate it is. Sweet!

Picked up a Grey and White Defender for $17 on Amazon. I just installed it, it's super bulky but the quality is amazing and the multi use stand is great.

Are the ones from Amazon authentic?

The quality is certainly comparable to other Otterbox cases I have purchased. Looking through the other colors for this case, which were priced higher, I got the impression that grey/white may not be popular and is being phased out. Even if it is a fake Otterbox, which I don't believe it is, the case is still a bargain for $17.

The Grey and White one I received was authentic otterbox. My Note 10.1 is white so it looks great together.

I just ordered one online from Walmart for $39.01 (Amazon also has the same price).
How is this case?
