Does one exist?
I haven't done any extensive search but I looked the other day and stopped at some kind of plastic pouch.
So I don't think so. I'd try eBay, maybe some Korean or Chinese seller has one.

I wouldn't trust a ziploc bag to last anytime submerged. MAYBE against splashes, but I'd rather use something more reliable.

While those are. Both nice, unless u are using PGM which needs a comvatibke corner. How would u turn the screen on and off. And the aqua skin is almost identical to the iottie, except u only get one at 1/3 the price

I personally have taken my phone under water using a generic water proof bag. They were 3 for $10 USD. the only problem I had was if the water put pressure on the screen it would go crazy..... I just added more air to it and held it so I had to push through the air to select what I want. Ie picture or video

Well but the skin is definetely not made for a daily use i reckon, I mean to make sure it is 100% waterproof you always have to use a new strip of sealing tape after charging, right?
Would be good to have a modified battery cover for contactless charging. I´m starting to work on a diving base for the next 2 months, and would be good to have something covering my GNx from water.
I wish lifeproof would make a case for us.

This is true. The lifeproof case cost over a million USD to develop, and they lucked out that the iPhone 4s was compatible. Not nearly enough people own enough Gnex to make it profitable, plus the GSM would need a completely different case from the LTE. FInally, my own experience with the case sucked. You can only take it off/on 50x before it breaks (not waterproof) and it destroys sensitivity. It's something you only want when theres water around, but you can only take it off/on 50x which sucks. Also, you have to test it every time before you submerge it. The waterproof bags are way better IMO.
Just received it today from Verizon online. The color is real close to the pebble blue color. It just has a eggshell finish. It does not come with a screen protector however they did include a phone stand. Buttons work great!

I got mine my a verizon store. they mustve been out
Thanks for the pics. Is this case one or two pieces? Also, do you think it's a case that could easily be removed and put back on several times a day with ease and not lose it's grip or form? I'm asking because I'm very interested in this case but I'm also getting a car dock and whether I get a universal dock or custom dock depends on if the case I'm using can be easily removed. Also, how do you think it would protect against drops versus slightly bulkier cases like the Otterbox Commuter or Seidio Active cases? Thanks very much.
It's two pieces much like a seidio active case. It is real easy to install and remove.
Here is a video review of a different color one from sprint. The Verizon one has a stand instead of the screen protector.

I have the white version of the case and I'm not impressed. It feels a little too big and bulky. I put it on my SG3 for about 15 minutes before I decided it wasn't for me. I put it back in the packaging and it's like new. If anybody wants it I'll take $15 shipped anywhere in the US.

To me the thickness is about right. Its still less bulk than the commuter. I like a little protection for this huge expensive screen.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
I have this same case only in a different color blue which I actually like better. It is a brighter blue and I believe it is a T-Mobile exclusive. I think the case is nice and offers good protection for the size. It doesn't add much thickness at all but I do have one complaint which is why I'm returning it. The cell signal and Wifi signal are effected by the case. I've done numerous tests and on average, you lose two bars of WiFi and roughly 2-3mb/s download speeds on 4G. To me, the protection is not worth the signal trade off.
Strange, I haven't experienced any signal loss.

If you are on WiFi, take the case off and move to a location where you are only getting two bars. Then apply the case and watch the bars drop off. I've already done the testing with my phone, my wife's phone and a co-workers phone.

Pretty much all cases affect signal quality a bit. No reason to freak out about it. The added protection tradeoff is worth it.

Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
This is the one I got from T-Mobile. Maybe it is a different case than the one you have and don't get any signal loss with. It is called the Silicrylic Dual Protection. I highly doubt Incipio changed the material for T-Mobile and only T-Mobile. Maybe it's the color....
IIRC tge shiny versions have some metal in them and hurt reception. The traditional silicrylics (like the VZW and others)are only silicone and poly carbonate. I have no issues on multiple phones with their traditional versions.

I got mine in the store. I wanted black but they said they only had the biue. They had it in the back not on the shelf.
Sent from my Free'd sweet a$$ S3.
I have the white and grey one. I noticed that today the volume buttons have ripped away a bit. I will be returning it to the Verizon store for an exchange. It's only 3 days old. I like the case, but the silicone part is cut back a bit around the buttons, and makes it weak which caused mine to rip. Im hoping it's a fluke because it's a nice case with a good feel.
Sent from my Galaxy S3 on XDA Premium.
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

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¢

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'

I got myself a Pibow, like the other poster I used cable ties through the holes to secure it. Before I bought the case I bought some rubber feet from ebay, but the threaded pins act as feet so they weren't needed. The build instructions ape the Ikea single sheet instructions, a nice cultural touch.
I finally got a pibow as well, I had a temp case cause I could never find the pibow I wanted in stock. Adafruit.com has them in the original and the new 4 colors. I got the ninja model. Also if you live in the US, youll have it in 2days. Its a great site for everything pi, arduino, electronics related you could want.

Was wondering what that case was called! Awesome! :good:
You could always make one yourself. I made this one.
Used materials:
Birch Wood 1/4 inch thick
Dremel/Jigsaw (cutting)
Wood varnish (i used one that had the polyurethane already in the paint
Wood filler
Sand paper (derp)
Crazy glue (it works well on wood apparently)
Wood burn kit (first time i ever tried my hand at it)
Bring on the BlackMage! Haduken!

I had the same thing happen. I didn't even carry mine in my pocket, and yet I had a corner break off within two weeks of getting it. I basically decided that this case is a piece of junk. I was also expecting better quality from an OEM case. I ended up getting this one... http://www.amazon.com/Aluminum-Fash...kaging/dp/B00IHT4DQS/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top . It doesn't have the lens attachment, but it's held up well for over a month.
I bought one as well and it broke after a few days of use. First it had cracks then the bottom corners broke off. Don't buy this!
Has anyone had any problems with the white case or is it just the black one?

And chipped off when i was pulling my z1 from pocket.
Yep its rubbish quality and always felt as though the sharp edges were scratching the Z1 upon installation or removal. So neatly cut out the attachment part and merely glued it to a TPU case, its not 100% perfect but it is better than the spring loaded jaws.
