Hi.
I am looking for a protective case that will help my phone survive a large drop 7ft maybe. I was looking at the ballistic aspira cases and really liked them, I also looked at the incipio dualpro. Kind of the the aspira. Iam also looking at the SG and the trident aegis. Can you guys give me your opinions on each case.
Thanks::thumbup:

I think you should have posted this in Off Topic... I've never used a case so I can't give you any advice.
This does not belong here and I see you have also asked similar questions in some of the accessory threads so going to close this a duplicate post.

Hello fellow XDAers! I've had my Vibrant for almost 2 weeks so I figured its about time I get a case to protect my phone. Question is there are a lot of choices out there so I wanted to poll y'all and see what material you prefer your cases to be made of and why. What differences would make you prefer A over B?
To my knowledge the main ones I see are; plastic, rubber, polycarbonate, silicon, and TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane).
And yes, I've already looked through google and wiki but nothing beats user feedback! Thanks all!
Most seem to like TPU.

indeed. tpu is the ****. under four dollars shipped on ebay for a smoked grey tpu case with a neat hexagonal pattern on the back?
you cant beat that!
if i could get one of those "silk touch" silicone cases for cheap i might change my mind, but they're pretty expensive and i'm not willing to buy something like that without seeing and feeling it first.
I generally like to have multiple cases for my phones. I have bought a couple of cases already without having the phone and would like to know which one you guys think is the best. These are the cases I have bought:

I havent heard many good things about the popcase that it may not provide enough protection. It looks cool though. I have the toughcase but its a dust magnet for starters and the silicone also gets in the way of my screen protector (zagg) at the corners. I have a diztronic tpu case and i like the fit of it better and its thin enough to not be too noticeable. So far i like it best but im still waiting for something better....like otterbox?
Yes, I can not wait for the otterbox. I also found a case for other phones called Sillicrylic (I think thats how you spell it) and that looks like an awesome case!
i think nude is better!
Hi, before I get my SGN i had a Desire HD with PoP case !
And I was very satisfied with it
Thank you, I just noticed that one of the ebay links is actually 7 cases, which is awesome so I can switch it out. I will let you guys know which one is best when I get them.

I have this one, and for £1.89 I think it is pretty fantastic. Looks and feels great!
Nay to all of the above
Why hide the Google design. If you look at the use of the phone, the corners are the most hit, so a bumper design is the best. the cases in this post like others I've found are thick and bulky for no real benefit.
iPhone is the best example of what we need.
"Can't paste the link as I'm too new but refer to Ebay "iPhone 4S bumper"
We need to push this design before making out pockets bulk up...
GNex Bumper case DIY
I made a simple DIY mod to turn a cheap case into a Bumper case.
Search instructibles.com for 'DIY Bumper Case for Galaxy Nexus' and it will come up.
I would like to keep my phone without a case but the fear of dropping or body wear would get under my skin.
I have a diztronic currently and I'm also ordering some cruzerlite cases.

I have a case obsession as well and have many for the Gnex. My latest is the otterbox commuter, which I really love - though its noteworthy that many people do not like this case. A good one as well is the Trident Agesis - I am waiting for this one to be release at the end of Feb.

Interested to see what you guys are using, I have an Seidio Surface case with kickstand and love it. Currently Seidio isn't offering a kickstand with the SGS3, so wondering what cases you guys are rocking, and if you could post pics that would be much appreciated.

I believe there multiple threads about this already but I'll play. Casemate pop!
Very happy with it but will be going with a thinner case once the Olympics are over.
Currently not being productive on my S3.

I have the Seidio Active with a kickstand for my S3, I'm not sure where you get that they aren't selling one with a kickstand unless you mean the Surface line up...
Sorry about that, I just found the other thread, couldn't search on mobile.
And yeah, I meant the Surface series, I love those cases.

Hey everyone,
I just ordered the Trident Aegis case off of Amazon.
http://www.amazon.com/Trident-AG-EPIC-BK-Protector-Samsung-SPH-D710/dp/B006QYPACW/ref=pd_cp_cps_0
After much review and thought I finally made the decision.
I am a huge fan of the Ghost Armor screen protector. Does anyone here have this combination? If so, how well does the Ghost Armor stay on the phone while wearing the case? I want to say that because the Aegis is a 2 part case (inside rubber/gel and outside hard plastic) that I wont have any issues with the outer edges of my protection. Any insight is appreciated.
I've heard very good things about both, although I have never used the Ghost Armor, I can tell you that the case is definitely worth it, it keeps your phone nicely covered, and it's pretty nice looking. If I had some pictures, I'd post 'em. The only thing that ever worries me, is the rubber for the charging port pushes down the micro usb cable, which I guess over time might not be too beneficial, but I don't think in 2 years it'll destroy your phone.
PS: where can I get this ghost armor everyone talks about? D:
wrong section.. lol everytime i check xda lol.. this is the themes and apps section bro, your not talking about either..

Since people really like being douches. I will answer. If you like the Defender, go for the Commuter. It's got tons of protection and is fairly slim. I prefer it to the Defender because the hard shell is on the outside.

How is it being a douche? Please explain.
The search tab is there to help. Instead of having to wait for replies. Most likely there's a thread on this wonderful site for pretty much everything you can think of.

I use UAG case. Probably the best case I've had. But I often swap it to my Samsung Official Slim Case (that mostly depends on my clothing or activities I'm planning to do)
This thread has a lot of pictures to look at. It's a good place to start when it comes to finding the case you want.

I personally browsed through it for awhile and looked for reviews on any cases that I thought looked decent. Ended up going with a PX360, but it's a bulky case like the Defender.
