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.

If you paid $70 then you paid too much. Retail is $50.

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.
Also its easy to take off if need be.

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.

Otterbox will only warranty the case, not the device. There are to many variables to consider when a casr fails.

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.

Here it is: tb810z
That should get you the free shipping(FEDEX) and 10% off.
By the way, does anyone know anything about the screen protector that is included. Is it any good? Is it clear or antiglare? I have a boxwave crystal clear on now, but I just scratched it up and need to replace and don't know if I should wait to see how the protector is. Anyone who has gotten the Otterbox's before, how are the included screen protectors?

I'll stick with my tpu case that saved my phone from many drops with no marks. It doesn't take much to protect the phone. It definitely doesn't take how much otterbox charges. It isn't like it costs them any more to make their cases. They just charge more because they can.
The convertible designed one has it's perks of course, but should still be half the price it is.

Just spent $200 on a glass touch screen phone. I'll gladly pay $35 for piece of mind. Most of the cases released for the evo kind of, if not totally suck. The case is just way better designed.

Thanks for the lol
I think $35 is worth peace of mind and I used to spend a fair amount on protecting my devices but when I got my EVO I realized this phone comes in a beautiful case that HTC provided as part of the package. I don't even want to cover the thing up and $7/mo buys a fair amount of peace.
If I were still working in an environment where it was likely my phone would be badly damaged over time then I would absolutely fork out the cash. Fortunately my EVO is safe and sound all by itself in my front left pocket.
The otterboxes set the standard, IMO. But they really dropped the ball on this. I'd like to know why it took them so long, out of curiosity. Did it really take them this long to fill a projected first order? Did they not see the EVO as a priority?
Just ordered mine. I am travelling on the 17th, hope it comes before that with Fedex Ground.
dang hopefully the defender is ready soon. the next test will be if the defender case will fit in the siedo car mout
I have had my thunderbolt for about a month now and it is naked. I dont know if i should wait for an otterbox or a ballistic case or just buy something like the active x
as long as you're careful, I say leave it naked!
My recommendation is, if you don't know what you want, then go cheap for now until you do know. The S-Line can be had for just a few bucks ($3-7) on eBay (and some other web-based stores sell it too, I believe) and is an good case. Not amazing, but good to excellent. It will last you until you know what you want, and may be what you want.
I just got my active x case today in the mail. I was tired of waiting for Otterbox to release its case. I'm extremely happy with the case.
i went cheap, cases aren't the quality i like and well... they suck.
i like my case-mate pop case, shinny back gets stratched but i can live with it. the rubber deteriorating that users complained about is more like tiny eraser shavings on mine from the friction going in and out of my pocket, but it comes and goes. i'm still closely examining it. its a GREAT case, kind of thick, but lots of protection.
i might get the case-mate barely there case since i'm very careful with my phone.
another suggestion is the HTC (OEM) TPU case, I like QUALITY TPU cases because they're thin and the material is great.
+1 for the case mate pop, got mine 20% off (use google to search for coupons, 2 minutes saved me $8 lol), standard shipping, case ordered friday morning and delivered via first class mail monday afternoon. I like the fit, I like the protection, and I honestly think the white case is bad ass (makes my phone look like a storm trooper IMO). Otterbox has no plans of releasing a commuter case based on my communications with them and the defender is just overkill for my needs.
wouldnt waste my money on the pop case. im on my second one and it already jacked up.

99% of the people Ive seen have problems with them. I wouldnt take my chances.
On Ebay I found an Otterbox knock off for thirteen dollars with no shipping cost. Had the built in screen protector and all which I promptly removed because it sucked. Came with a hard snap on shell and a rubber case to put around that. It doesn't look to bad at all and was a lot cheaper than Otterbox.

i am looking for a case that would protect if it was dropped and bumped around
After purchasing a soft case at the Verizon store where I bought my TB, I chucked it a few days later after it fell off a bunch of times. I ended up buying the Seidio Innocase II Surface Case on ebay. Best case imho.
It fits well and seems pretty sturdy. I know it's a pricey case, but I'm looking at the long-term in not having to buy a bunch of "cheaper" cases down the road when one will suffice.

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.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-aW5XY2sis
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.

I would say no. I got the same case for my girlfriend for her S3 without reading the reviews.
It does protect the phone, but the rubber for the outside gets stretched out and doesn't fit the plastic part anymore. It happened within a month of putting it on. You can get it replaced under warranty, but I'd rather not do a warranty claim every month.
Check out the Ballistics case. I own it and love it.
I'd post the URL but I'm prevented from doing so until 10 posts. It's easy to Google though.
It all depends on what you need. If you need something that can withstand just about anything, yes, because neither trident nor ballistic will make their touch case for the n2. Otherwise, you could probably go with something else

Like I said...I feel the Seidio Surface case is the best one out there..In my job...I've dropped mine already (4 feet)..have banged it hard on ladders and other equipment..and it is still perfect..
My Pt case (Best Buy branded Seidio Surface case) I used on my Captivate has taken even rougher treatment over the 2 years I've had it and has not failed..so I'm pretty sold on the Seidio Surface line for all types of bumps & bruises a phone gets on my hip...They aren't water proof...and if you need something for water issues these won't work...but for everything except that and a full onslaught against the screen...they have performed above my expectations of a case and give good gripping while being fairly thin feeling..
Buy a good screen protector like the anti glare/smudge that AT&T stores sell (iFrogz)...and you will have a damn good protection package that looks great too..The Pt case when in stock at Best Buy is about $20 cheaper.

Sucks and hates are two different words but ok. And I guarantee the case I have is different than the defender. My last phone was in a defender case when it was damaged. This case was just released not to long ago and maybe the OP didn't know they have a tougher case that's also waterproof. Just a thought though, could be wrong.

no need for water case i think i will look around for a cool case that has everything
The defender ends up peeling and the outer rubber part barely stays attached to the hard plastic. I've had THREE of the them, I hardly even use my phone and my pockets are never tight and the case never snags. I checked out the Armor by Otterbox today it feels much nicer but it's very expensive and is literally a brick.
The latest outer cases seem stiffer and less rubbery. Have had Ø problems with these...
Otherwise they'll just keep replacing them until you're happy.
Great CS....
Just got back from the beach with my otterbox armor series. No sand or water on my phone. Stayed in my pocket in and out of the water. I love this case.

I use TPU cases. They're like silicone cases, but they're a little more substantial and do a good job absorbing minor impacts. Plus, they're cheap and come in a variety of styles.
If your using a standard battery UAG is my favorite... rocks.

I had one. Worst case I've ever had. Even at my discounted price of $60 on release day. Way to bulky when a life proof is just as good and not only cheaper but slimmer. Also part of the speaker cover that makes it water proof the screen layer fell off and seemed to be held on with cheap glue or silicon. In 5 years I've never needed a water proof case bit I also take care of my phones. I'd go with a ballistic shell gel. Very nice case and still fairly slim
