Cases?

So I'm wondering what cases everyone is using. The at&t store only had one butt ugly case that I didn't go for. I've been looking at this incipio case and wondering if anyone has it. Fit? Feel? Value?

That's a fair point. I'm just worried about a snug fit. I've bought cheap no-name brand cases before that fit horribly, and were basically a waste of money.

Really I always get cheapo cases that fit great and hey if they don't only was 3 bucks haha

It's in Amazon for $20:

I think I'll go for a KaysCase, also in Amazon. I've looked for reviews online for the brand (they make cases for Ipad as well) and didn't find any negative one. Since Apple users are usually prone to complaining online, I think if the case was bad it would be all over the place.

Reminds me a lot of the Nillkin case I have for my Xperia S. I might have to order it. Though I really like the feel of the ion without any case. Such a nice phone and great build.

I would think twice about that. I already dropped my phone once and now there's a deep scratch on the rubber parts on the top and bottom of the phone.

I bought that case directly from incipio with a 20% coupon, only had to pay $21.83 after taxes. Just waiting for it to arrive in the mail I hope today!

Yeah, I dropped mine and now have a chunk of plastic missing. I have an Incipio Feather on the way.

I went ahead and bought the incipio silicrylic case. Pretty pleased with it so far. Only issue is the piece on the left side above the usb/hdmi port is really, really thin. I'm pretty sure that will be the first part to break.
Other than that, it's a really nice fitting, well made case. It even makes the buttons easier to push.

Not really on par with the best Otterbox but it seems like it'll protect my phone pretty well. The plastic is thick and hard *laughs out of immaturity*. I have a thing for breaking my screens and the case has a lip around the front of the phone so I'm not too worried about the screen on this phone.

I'm dissaponted that the ION doesn't "support" phone straps. Anyone know of any cases that "support" phone straps ?

Anyone ever try Diztronic cases?

I guess if you really want or need a waterproof case, it's a good option.

they have it listed on the site so I assume we can do so anytime we wish. I just don't have the cash yet

The OBEX case looks very hopeful! I've been meaning to find a waterproof one, thanks for the thread! :good:

just a pity its BLACK. yuck. at least otterbox "gets it" and has some nice colors. too bad they are still very expensive relative to alternatives.
I do want their dual tone blue one though

[ACCESSORY] FlyGrip

for those of you who lovr bigger phones or tablets/e readers...then the FlyGrip is the accessory for you. the FlyGrip goes on the back of your device and allows you to have a firm grip of your device and doubles as a kickstand. check out the site

this is not my company, they have partnered with Me and i am just promoting their product

They are $30 online with free shipping. they come in black, white, green, red, yellow, and much more!
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

I've seen this and reviews a while back but it's not my cup of tea... Though I can say that for anyone other than past loyal customers $30 is probably too high a price. Cost of materials can't be more than $5-$10. I'm really not trying to be **** either just stating my 2¢

honestly you're right. $30 is a bit high for an accessory. if i were in charge I'd sell for max $15

I agree, tis a bit spendy.

yeah exactly. i couldn't agree more @
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

The product isn't worth $30 but they have a patent pending on it. I own one and i have to say, i love using it. I swapped back to my old Incipio Sillicrylic because I was in an environment that need the extra cover. After I got home, i swapped back to the Flygrip right away. I like that it doesn't bulge my phone up all around and i can touch every part of the screen without feeling that i'll slip the phone through my hands and end up in mud/water/concrete. It took me a while to get used to putting my fingers through it. in the end, i'm satisfied.

It's a little steep in price, but I was more than willing to pay for it and might buy another since mine is just slightly large. It is really useful and I get so many comments on it. Plus it's really cool that it doubles as a stand in both landcape and portrait modes. My only regret is that it definitely means it will be inconvenient to do the wireless charging hack and I think it might interfere with Google wallet. In the wireless charging hack the phone must sit flush with the charging pad and it may be the same with using Google wallet to pay via PayPass. I'm still looking into that last one.

yeah that's my only complaint as well and if it interferes with S Beam, etc

I've just tested last night with my girlfriend's S3 and it works perfectly fine. She has the Incipio Sillicrilic case and I had my Flygrip. even though that 1+ cm distance from both phones, i've sent a song and a few pictures successfully.

$29.95.
WOW....... Price is ridiculous. I usually pay for an over priced item now and then for something I am interested in but the price on the FlyGrip is really pushing it. Most defiantly passing on this product!

That was my issue I wasnt sure if NFC still would work. And I dont know if it will stick to my Otter box

the double sided tape is from 3M so it should stick no problem unless the outer shell is soft. but that's going to be pretty thick attaching the flygrip to it. i'm using the flygrip solo and it feels very secure. i haven't dropped my phone(knock on wood).

No offense, but I lol'd when I saw it. I lol'd again when I saw the price.

Hahaha yeah its pretty expensive for an accessory'

Never, ever, ever buy an otterbox case for this phone. It pushes the gamepad away from the screen. The case I currently use is this one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/For-Sony-Er...030226?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item43b4cb4912
This is the best case I have ever used. And I have used abotu 5 different cases in 18 months.

Switch to a trident, the case you're using has damaged my phone in the past, the top piece had raised imperfections on the inside which leave marks on the outside of your screen.
Trident over everything, been using since last October + it has a 1 year warranty.

Lifeproof Case on eBay?

I've seen a bunch of threads regarding that the Lifeproof cases aren't out yet... But on eBay there are a few cases for sale. I'm guessing these are fake but the pictures look pretty legit. Any experience with these? I'm still new so I can't post links but if you type in "S3 Lifeproof" on eBay it should pop up.

Their fake.

I was about to start a thread and remembered there already was one. So since this thread I've noticed a large increase in the number of fake lifeproof's, I'm assuming some company in china got the specs and started making replicas. Looks like the prices are in the $40 to $50 range, so who's going to be the guinea pig and buy one? Part of me wants to try it since the real lifeproof cases cost $80, but another part of me thinks that its stupid to spend $50 on something that could be complete crap. Especially if it ships from china or hong kong, if I don't like it I'd have to pay the shipping all the way back. Plus I'd have to wait 3 weeks just to get it and possibly another 3 weeks to get the refund........
Anybody want to sponsor me? I'll put a big pictorial and detailed review?:laugh:

LifeProof
I'll be ordering one from a US Seller for a slightly higher markup. I can post a video review on Youtube, and here as well. I'll get it some time next week, as I'll probably order it with my birthday money or when my paycheck comes in. And hey, if you want to push $5 towards the cause, I wouldn't be opposed They look exactly like the iPhone version, even down to the packaging and colors available. one seller even mentioned that they aren't LifeProof branded, but had a 1 month return/refund/warrenty. In addition, Paypal and my bank offer a certain amount of time to make sure a product actually works (3 or 6 months, I think). I'm game for giving it a shot!
I imagine that the install would be the same as for an iPhone... and I'd want to check the seals BEFORE installing my phone... that'd be really sad.

Found it but it's not on lifeproof website.

Right, that's the whole point of this entire thread. These are FAKE or replicas or whatever you want to call them, that's why this thread got started. That's why they only cost $40 to $50 dollars. That's why some of them are from CHINA. I think I'll probably end up buying one of these once I find a white one that's being sold here in the US. I know they all are probably being made in the same place in Hong Kong or somewhere but I don't see any reason to order something and wait for a month for it to get here.
