Im ordering this one since its cheap while i wait for defender.

Wish the pics were better so I could see what it really looked like...I cant quite make out the pattern on the back. Looks like a weave look near the top, not sure if that carries on down the entire back or not. Any one have a link to pics with better lighting, or even better...a video? Thanks for sharing, it looks nice but not sure if I can spend $20 for just a silicone case....

Pics anybody?

Mine is sitting at home on the counter, my wife just sent me a picture of it with her phone, but she has an LG Lotus Elite, so I'm not really sure if you want to see that, haha.

I bought the Commuter....meh....it's ok. Got my Impact today and I think I've found the case for me. love it so far.
I like the case. It's pretty much what i've been looking for in terms of having good protection without the bulk. I'll try to post pics later.
Edit: pics. not great...but you get an idea.

Nice, looks a little bulky. Currently using a Seidio case. But i did place an order for the impact case today. Was in between the commuter one and impact. Thanks for posting pics.

it's thicker than your normal silicone case but I think the Seidio (I have the Surface) makes the phone bulkier. The impact at least is more form fitting and doesn't add as much bulk. I will say that the Impact adds more screen protection than the Commuter. You can lay it face down with less worries.

Does the impact case collect lint and dust like the commuter?

How deep does the camera recess look, since you have it would you mind looking from the side?

Just got home (late night at work) and LOVE it! Great case, I had the body glove case till it broke around the volume rocker. This case solves the button area issues perfectly. My wife also really likes the way it fits and looks, so it's not just me either.

yep...not sure what the other guy was referring to wishing it fit tighter. It's snug. As far as lint, I haven't had a silicone case that didn't collect lint in the beginning. Then after a few days lint is usally not a problem.

Nice, that's the case I'm currently using. I really like it. It sounds like ill be happy with the impact case. Thanks

Kickstand cases

Greetings all -
I have the VZW extended battery SGN and I'm looking for a case that provides a little bit of shock protection, fits on the extended battery and has a kickstand. Coming from the Thunderbolt this phone is a breath of fresh air in regards to weight and size, so I want to keep that part intact. The Verizon kickstand holster from what I hear doesn't really provide very much in terms of protection and doesn't fit well on the extended battery.
I've searched threads and most cases seem too bulky or no kickstand..can anyone point me in the right direction?

I'm with you, coming from the tbolt I really need a kickstand. I bought the VZW one and still using the OEM battery. Nice thing about the case I think it's the only one to allow portrait and landscape.

I bought the otter box case from verizon on sat and will be returning it tomorrow. It is a nice case, protects the phone and allows portrait and landscape.
My only problems are lint(its a magnet for pocket lint), form factor(its tank like) and the built in screen protector(gives the screen a grainy look).

Still nothing available? Man the kickstand is incredibly useful when I am out eating lunch.

yeah I use it when eating lunch at work too =o. Just using verizon holster without extended until something better comes around...what a wasted extended batt!

So does the seidio active with kick stand not work with the battery? Id love to order it but its a bit pricey if it doesn't work.

I too was looking for a nice case with kickstand but Verizon only offers one and it looks sh!tty. I bought myself a couple of these small phone stands: one for work desk and another in my car in case I wanna watch something in the restaurant during lunch. They're pretty small and compact when clipped in.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=400266244836

I second the Seidio Active. It apparently has a cutout in the silicon layer beneath the kickstand that allows it to accommodate the extended battery. Look for Asianrage's posts in the case sticky for pictures of the Seidio Active with the extended battery.

Its extremely portable and works well.
- GSM Galaxy Nexus

So, i broke down and ordered the seidio and it doesn't fit real well with the verizon extended battery, but if you take the plastic cover off of the back off the phone it fits perfectly and you can't tell the back is off. Its no thunderbolt kick stand though that's for sure. The angle is steeper and of course its wont do portrait mode.
Overall I like it. Its built well but the power button is a bit hard and if you have a dock that uses the 3 pin connectors they are covered up.

Did you try to massage the silicone with the back applied? Work the corners and readjust the sides. That's the only thing you have to do. The initial fitting was disappointing for me, so I used the system without the battery cover, but decided to give it a second chance after a few days. Have you seen the pictures that I posted in the link above? That's my phone with the extended battery and cover encased in the Active.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1405890&page=9
The kickstand reclines too far back compared to the Bolt, given how short the leg is.
And I doubt that there will be any 3-pin dock that would support any cased SGN.

Oh sweet I hadn't seen that post, I'll try wrestling with it again.

Well after trying again with the back plate on the phone I'm going to stick with my original recommendation. For me, the the fit is much better with the battery cover plate off.

Ballistic SG Maxx

Got mine today. It's pretty awesome. The molded screen protector is a great feature. I will likely use it when I am outdoors playing, but switch back to my Rock case when I am lounging indoors.
The belt clip is another great addition. I would take this case over an Otterbox ANY day. It doesn't make it nearly as big and boxy.

How easy is it to remove and put back on and stuff? Surely fairly easy seeing as you're switching between the Rock and the SG?

yeahmon, do you use the Ballistic in a car holder, if so, can you provide pics of this also when you get the chance ?

There was nothing in the box but the case, and a Ballistic decal. The screen protector is flexible plastic. I will add that it distorts the screen a bit if you look at it a certain way. Nothing offensive, but worth noting. Almost like a 3D LCD. It's weird to describe.
I'm assuming you will be able to order them on their website soon. The case was just released a day or two ago.

I have terrible 3G reception where we are camping,so forgive me if my replies take awhile. It took 6 hours to send the first reply yesterday.

I'm already beginning to dislike the plastic screen protector. It seems to be creating a lot of false touches, which causes me to have to use the back button a LOT. It may have to come off and see how it works without it.

I have officially pulled the screen protector off. It was causing WAY too many touch errors. I like nekkid screen better.

I have had this case on the whole time. I forgot about my Rock case. This phone just feels right with this case. It's easy in my hand, and I dropped it onto the kitchen floor, and and it just bounced a little. I about freaked out, but my S3 lives.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

thanks for the continuous updates. pretty helpful to see how the case turns out in the long run.
i decided not to go for ballistic or commuter
went ahead to preorder a trident kraken ams. for the price (31 shipped to the US), design and protection i think its the best of the 3. if it doesnt work out ill go for a commuter before ballistic.

I had to remove the Ballistic. Everyone was complaining about not being able to understand me on the phone. The mic is such a tiny hole on the bottom of the phone, it seemed the rubber hole was preventing my voice from carrying. I put the Rock case back on, and the problem is solved. I would imagine this could be the results for any case that covers the bottom of the device.

I was looking at the ballistic at the mall the other day. Liked it. hated the screen protector off the gate, but with a regular protector it was nice. Didn't even think about the mic issue.. Will have to investigate that one.. kind of big deal to be able to have people hear you.

Defender mod w/ Extended Battery

Just in can anyone was wondering... I dremeled out my back cover and defender shell to fit an extended battery and it worked wonderfully. Now the size isn't for the faint of heart but if you want protection plus long battery life this is the way to go. I'll post pics if anyone wants but since I haven't seen anyone else post about it I figured I'd go ahead.

Eh...
I have an Otterbox Defender and I heard about the Hyperion 4200+NFC and thought of the same idea but I didn't get the battery yet because I was thinking that the backside silicon would petrude.
If you look carefully at the backside pic after everything is said and done, it bulges about 2mm too much. I'm sure there is a gap now...something that I and most others (I would assume) would want to avoid.
I don't use NFC so maybe a slightly smaller battery, 3500 or so will be the 2mm less that it needs to be for this to be the ideal "hack" job.
(I wonder if the 4000 would work? Does anyone have specs on the thickness for the 4000 and 4200? BTW, a rotary cut tool would be best to cut, for those who are going to try this.)

Do you have any pics of how you made it?

His pics are posted already...
If you are asking me, I didn't do it yet because I had the thought that it would bulge the silicon on the back (as you can see in the pics)...but I'm trying to see if the 4000 is thinner by about 2mm, then it would be good. Hyperion would be the wiser choice as they are the better known brand...those other XYZ companies just make junky batteries IMO.
Anyone on the 4000 and 4200 thickness? (I've asked the only eBay seller that sells both, hopefully get a response soon)

Do you think it would be a bad idea to put electrical tape around the battery and back case to further prevent dust from getting into the electronics? I work in a warehouse and dust partials can sneak through cases.

Yes the bulge and the gap kind of bothered me at first too but I don't work in an environment that has a lot of grit. (As you can see I actually work at a Verizon store). As far as how I made it I just took a dremel but unfortunately didn't have the right tool at the end but I made due. Overall I'm still satisfied with it. The extra bulk really isn't whole lot for me plus I love having the rugged case. This has really made me love an already good phone.

OIC...yeah, the phone is so thin the Defender really isn't all that bulky as one would think. It's really the front bezel (to protect the screen) that kinda makes it look so much thicker. With the Defender, I can only think of a precise hit to the flat of the screen that would damage it...basically the tank of all cases!
Like I said, a couple of MM less and it would be perfect...someone had a double OEM battery hack job, just wished I knew the thickness specs on all these batteries...

The case is pretty much a Kraken case with a battery built into the back. The battery is 2000mah.
With medium usage yesterday it stayed at 100% from 7am to about 1030pm (with using the trident battery along with the Samsung battery)
It is a bulky case..its alittle bigger than a Kraken case, but it feels stronger than a Kraken case. I dropped it afew times and it never split apart like the Kraken did..so they might of fixed this issue.
So ya..figured I'd put this on here since I didn't see anyone else talk about this yet. Atleast when I searched for it I didn't see anything about it.
By the way I got mine on Amazon for $45 with free shipping so you can find it cheaper than the $70 asking price. :good:

Case looks awesome. Looks better than the kraken. I love trident products. If it weren't for purchasing the Samsung 3000mah battery I would totally picked up this case.

Well, I finally got mine and in short I'd say this case is good but not great. I'll start with the Cons First
1. The Rubberized case that comes with it is quite loose fitting so it slips off pretty easy.
2. The case is large for only a 2000mah battery, I feel that they probably could of used a higher cap battery.
3. ***This may only be mine*** The bottom snaps dont stay together all the time which worries me because if they are not snapped properly then the stress of holding the bottom of the case together is on the usb port.
Pros
1, You can use the rubberized case as a stand alone case (although I wouldnt)
2. It comes with a belt clip (again I wont use it, but its nice to have)
3. Comes with screen protection
4. When its all together its fairly rugged
5. It has the ability to select what you charge first when its plugged in (the phone or the case) and when one is charged, it starts charging the other.
6. Price, I found mine for only $45 shipped. Retail is $70 though.
I'll try and post some pictures later.

You're not the only one. My case does the same thing. It's almost as if the rubber inner case is too big for the design on the bottom side of the case. I just sent an e-mail to Trident's Customer Service explaining the issue...I'm hopeful for a reply.

I did the same, lol.

I got mine today after leading a Harlem Shake video at a sales training course. After misreading the instructions, I finally got it working.
It's taking some time to get used to the size, but it's an awesome case. Looking forward to putting it through its paces.
