Extremely protective case?

Just ordered my sgs3 a few days ago, I'm looking for case that can potentially take a beating, I work in a warehouse and I don't want to hurt my new phone I looked at a body glove at the tmo store but it didn't seem as strong as the body glove I have on my sensation, thanks I appreciate it

I have the otterbox defender and it is very solid. Feels like it should take any normal abuse.

otterbox defender, trident kraken, seidio active. Those would be my choices.

Seidio Convert seems to be the ultimate in S3 protection.

I also work in a warehouse and I'm using the trident ageis its pretty good but I'm thinking about upgrading to the ballistic Sg maxx that case looks like it can take a hell of a drop. I'm sometimes up to 30 feet high and if I drop my phone e I do t think my trident case could handle the fall. I think the sg maxx would be our best bet for surviving that kind of fall.

I work construction so yea I was worried my self lol, so I got me a otterbox defender series from a at&T store, dude hooked me up with a 25 percent off because I had a coupon for tmobile that was 30 percent off, so he did almost like a price match for me , not bad at all , plus the buttons on this case are not hard to press.

Hey, I am trying to get support to get Griffin technology to produce a survivor case for the galaxy s3. If you look in my thread you can see that it would be a cool option for us if we manage to convince them to make one , http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1823703

The otterbox defender is what I would use if you want maximum protection.

Otterbox Commuter vs Seidio Active (with metal kickstand)

I'm contemplating getting one of these cases and was wondering if any of you guys had them and what you thought of them so I can get a good idea of which one to order. Thanks

I've had both (Although I had the Commuter for my old LG Optimus One) and I currently have the Seidio Active (Without the kickstand) and the Seidio Active is much much better. The silicone and plastic is much higher quality and it doesn't lose it's shape like most Otterboxes too. The only upside with buying the Otterbox is that is comes with a screen protector (A pretty crappy one anyway) and that's about it. The Seidio case is much better.

By the way does the case get a lot of lint on it and does it get stuck inside pockets and such that's my main concern lol
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

The Seidio case picks up a little bit of lint, a LOT less than the Otterboxes do. Half the time for me it doesn't pick lint up but when it does it's barely noticeable and wipes off really easily. Can't same the same about the Otterbox though, I had a hell of a time with lint problems when I had one for my old phone.

Do yourself a favor and also check out the Trident Kraken(Excellent Video Review Here). It has an awesome kickstand, tons of accessories that can be bought(11 bucks for a windshield mount? DONE!) and you can take it out of the poly-carb box and use just the silicon sleeve when you don't need it. Plus from everything I read online, Trident offers far superior protection than SEIDO or Otterbox. And the rotatable belt clip is way better than a holster, to me anyway. Give it a look, love mine!
Also if you want slightly less protection(and thickness) consider the Trident Aegis.

Quit hatin' on the Commuter!

Of course the Trident Kraken offers superior protection when compared to the Seidio Active and Otterbox Commuter but it also adds a lot more bulk to your phone. (If you're ok with that, then go for the Kraken! It is the most protective case out of the three!).
And I wasn't hating on the Commuter, I was just stating what I had encountered when I had one with my old phone.

I decided to go with the Seidio Active case with the kickstand. It should arrive tomorrow so I'll update you guys on how it is.

Got the Seidio case in the mail today I love it but the only thing is that it doesn't have any opening for the 3 pin thing on the right side of the phone. I don't know if the Otterbox Commuter has an opening for it.

Yeah I don't plan to use them anyways but so far this case is very good but we'll see how it survives a fall which hopefully never happens
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Kraken does not have them either, nor does any high-protection case I have seen.

Would have to say the seidio active is my choice. After i tested it the hard way, due to me being sleep deprived. I was working inside my car engine bay and take off the phone due to getting in the way at times. I just so happened to forget it was in their and then started to drive away to get a drink. I finally realized what happen then went searching for it the case was scratch to heck, but the phone was safe

^ Mother of Buddha :-\
I have what I'm told is a Commuter for sale.. $20 shipped 405-259-2797

I like the little groove on my case from where the kickstand is too makes it feel nice when you hold the phone.

Need help with a case for a gift

I want to get my dad a nice case and holster for fathers day, I've got a nexus so I don't know the options for his S3. I like the otterbox commuter because the silicone is held tight at the top and bottom by the outer layer. If anyone knows of a horizontal holster that fits this well let me know (like the defender series holster). I would really prefer horizontal over the vertical clip in style, even though I know they all swivel. I don't like the defender because he won't like the soft outer layer or built in hard screen protector. The ballistic SG MAXXX has the horizontal holster and hard outer case, but I don't like how the outer layer doesn't cover the top and bottom. Any suggestions for a commuter holster or different case combo?

I would check out the body glove toughsuit. Its similar to the defender, but the outer layer is more of a you material. You can also pull the built in screen protector out pretty easy. They sell them at Walmart if you want to check one out in person.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2

Nah, the hard inner layer and soft outer layer isn't logical in my opinion. He works in construction so it needs good drop protection. I might just go with the commuter and get the Seidio active holster.

I use the otterbox defender and am also in construction and it serves me well.
Sent while sleeping in chair.

The outer layer is not soft. Its riggid and way better than the defender its Not tacky and grippy. Ive had them both before.
The commuter is not a good decision Imo. Most likely gonna slip out of hes hand lol.
Ive had the ballistic sg maxx before which would be my 2nd choice over the toughsuit

***Best Nexus 5 rugged cases***

Hi everybody.
This is my first day with my nexus 5 and I love it. I have a spigen slim armor case for it and like that to. The only thing is that the lip around the screen is very thin and I do not know if it would protect against a drop. I also have an iloome flex glass screen protector. Do any of you know if otter box or trident will make cases for the nexus 5. I am worried it will break with what I have on it now.
Thanks

Otter box says they don't have any plans on making a case for us. I-bason and ballistic , sedio all make some great cases. I also have the slim armor I feel safe enough with its lip. But on the other hand you do have a glass screen protector which will surly be closer to the lip.

Don't have one, but if I have to use it, I would definitely give the Tech21 case a try (you may wanna read through page 3 for more pics)
Some drop test videos in YouTube are quite impressive.

I have the Ballistic SG Maxx too, I love it. It's a little bulky but feels solid. The only con for me is the hard screen protector, I love the idea, but it feels a little odd, and takes a little time to settle on the screen.
I think I might order the AEGIS. It looks promising but I wanna see some reviews first.

I would choose the Ballistic Tough Jacket MAXX (SG MAXX) for protection. I own this case and I am very satisfied with it. The only concern I have is that it attracts lint easily.
From reading reviews, I have learned that the Urbanite's coat of paint can peel off.
The Incipio Dualpro looks cheap and flimsy. The reviews are not good for it so I would not buy it.

i like the Trident N5 case I had a trident for my evo 3d many moons ago.. i always rocked otter box defender most of the time.. think ima go with the trident soon.. looks sweet

I was rocking the black slim armor from spigen I got when the phone first came out. Great protection, not too bulky, protects the camera, and has a small lip on the screen so you can lay it down on its front with no worries.
I like it so much that when I heard that the bright red was more orange than red. I bought it in a heartbeat.
Only other case I got was the Ringke Fusion, works just as great and has a clear back. but dust kept getting in the back in between the case and the phone for me at least. Didn't like that...

I have a tech 21, a ballistic sg, and a spigen slim armor. They are all great. I tend to use the slim armor more being that it's smaller than the ballistic and looks better than the tech 21. The ballistic is definitely the most protective case made for the n5. But it's quite large. The spigen slim armor is still very protective and looks absolutely beautiful. The build quality is top notch.

for me, no doubt: Spigen Neo Hybrid

I am thinking abou slim armor. Its pretty expensive over here but it looks really great and people say that it is safe for our device
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I have both the Ringke Slim and the Neo Hybrid. The Slim is my choice even though it doesn't cover all of the phone. Its slim and almost makes you forget that you even have a case on the phone.
The Neo Hybrid is a good case and just adds more bulk than I personally wanted. Its not to the level of an Otterbox but still some bulk.

ZeroLemon Rugged Battery Case
I purchased a ZeroLemon 3500MaH Rugged Case. It is by all means not a slim case. it's essentially a big ole brick of bada$$ery.
C shaped connector plugs into your Nexus 5 and into the battery, Hard plastic shell with a built in screen protector snaps around that, then rubberized fits around that, then of course a belt clip lol. I'd say i'm a centimeter off from a full inch thick lol.

I currently don't have a case, but I'm looking for recommendations. Can anyone recommend a case?

If you like slim cases, I really like the Ringke Fusion Crystal View case. http://www.amazon.com/PROTECTION-FUSION®-Absorption-Yourself-Technology/dp/B00H3OUGI2
It's completely clear to let the beauty of the N5 shine through. (especially if you have the red or white N5) It's a little bit softer than the Spigen version, has good grippiness, and probably more "bounce" if you dropped it.
