I love the idea of minimal cases and whatnot but I at times need rugged tough protection.
Has anyone come across any rugged style protection for the One?
Thanks.

Nothing, nada, zilch.
Hopefully soon. No name Chinese cases usually pop up first. Hybrid, rugged or tough are search terms I'm using.

Yeah I've looked all over. Tpu is the toughest it gets right now. Not too mention hardly any are shipping at a decent speed. A lot of which I've seen can take about week's time or more.

I would love something from Ballistic or something waterproof.
I ordered an aluminum bumper from aliexpress for about $8. I also have a Nillkin glass screen protector ordered.
Been also looking for something more rugged even though I dont have the phone yet. Even the no name brands haven't come up with one till now :banghead:.
I'm just going with a cheap clear snapon from ebay for now until to hold me over till something more protective comes along
Still no sign of a rugged case yet?

These two cases might be the closest to rugged you're going to get in awhile until someone makes one.

I've searched here and the oneplus forums and obviously around ebay/amazon. I bought a diztronic tpu case to hold me over but looking to buy a otterbox like case as soon as they hit the market.

I bought both Tudia and Diztronic and kept the Tudia, I returned the Diztronic it just didn't feel right in the hands.
I hope one of these companies who make rugged cases do one for the OPO. I wouldn't mind some sort of rugged case. I typically use a very thin case however there are times where I would like the added protection.
i don't understand how you could count the tudia as a rugged case? looks like a normal tpu case!

It's the most rugged you're going to get right now. It is thicker than the cruzerlite.
I have both the tudia and the cruzerlite. They both seem to offer the same amount of protection, but the tudia seems more slippery in the hand.

I've done searching and all I can find is reviews of the Active LE on Amazon. Does anyone have the Active from Seidio direct? (http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/csr6hev4-wh.htm) Any reviews people have found on it?
I've been looking at the white one cause I like the contrast on it, any thoughts?
EDIT:
After looking closer online, it seems like they are identical cases, just in different colors. Can anyone confirm this for me?
UPDATE:
Seidio has listed the Active as Available For Pre Order, Shipping 7/16
http://www.seidioonline.com/category-s/4257.htm
The exoskeleton is different. It looks like the LE one from Amazon has fingers that wrap around while the one from the Seidio website appears to have more solid sides with the rubbery part only showing on the top and bottom and all the way around the front.
SnAp..I just ordered from amazon, and I love the sage case from sedio.

hmmmmmm to many nice ones
I purchased mine from Amazon before they listed them as being in stock and ended up geting it within 3 days of my order so that was cool.
I have the Body glove case, the HTC leather holster/pouch and the Seidio Innocase II Surface holster combo.
The Seidio Active case is by far my favorite and I have not seen anything else out yet that compares. I feel much more confident that my phone would survive a drop in this case than any of the previously mentioned.
It also has a great feel to it. I have the original black one and a Zagg screen protector.
Here's my review
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0mzRJDGx78
Just placed an order for the limited edition on amazon. It said it'll take about a month to arrive which blows. I'm hoping its better than the bodyglove case. I dropped my phone with it and the case went flying off which kinda defeats the purpose. Luckily nothing happened to my phone.

Nice video review, I wouldn't kind trying the active out. Looks pretty study.
Scratch previous post. I'm waiting for the blue active case. Too sick! The white is nice too but I work in a dirty environment so not worth it. Anyone know when the new are ones are going to be released?
Sent from my PC36100
The Amazon limited edition case is the best available atm. I've ordered just about every case available (excluding the cheap $5-$10 ebay cases) and this one from amazon is by far the best. Feels great, durable, slides in and out of pocket well, will not fly apart when dropped. Cant go wrong. I went ahead and pre-ordered the green, blue and burgandy as well.

I have the Rugged Case with the exoskeleton. It is worth every penny. I don't even think otterbox can make a better case. The extra shell does NOT add any significant bulk, and it is very necessary so that the rubber skin doesn't easily come off by just handling the phone.
I also have the holster. (i have the innocase holster. They say it its not made for it, but it fits mine just fine. I bought it before they made a holster combo for the active exoskeleton case)
I bought mine off of Amazon.

Well I am using the Silicone case from Radioshack. Provides good protection, but I would like to get my Rugged case for two reasons.
1 - For the "otterbox" type protection
2 - Return the silicone case to "The Shack" and get my $20 refunded

Had this question in my post in General and while I got some great answers to the other questions but so far nothing on this one. Figured I would make a separate topic specifically about this and see what it comes up with.
What would you all think are the top 3 case options that are available?
I personally like the SGP ultra slider for the i9000 but it fits on the vibrant. I will post pictures up tomorrow.
I'm really liking the Case-Mate Barely There. It doesn't bulk up the phone like most of the cases out there.
It all depends on what youre looking for in a case.
If its protection:
Otterbox Commuter
Case-mate Tough Case
Trident Cyclops Case
This works just great for me. Brought 5 of them for the price....just in case. Been using the the first one I put on since I got the vibe in October when it was released. At the time it was only $.98!

I second that!
Does the Barely There case come out much in the front to help protect the screen from a front face drop? It is hard to tell in the video on their site. What do you think?
Thanks.
I have the Korean anycall mesh case and I really like it. My only complaint is the"Galaxy S" on the back is gold instead of chrome to match the trim on the phone.
Since it's OEM, it fits nice and doesn't add much bulk. It also adds a nice feel with the holes and the plastic material.

Not really, if you want a good case to protect your phone from drops you want a bit bulkier case like the Trident Cyclops or the CaseMate Tough Case. I personally use the Casemate Tough Case and couldn't be happier.

I think one of the most popular cases is the "hybrid tpu case". The is a larger thread about it in this section. I love the case, it provides awesome protection and a good heft to the phone.
So currently I have a cheap case I bought on ebay and it's messing up my invisibleshield on the sides. Whenever I grip the sides it pushes up against the shield and dust gets in there.
I'm considering buying a new case but I'm not sure what one to get so it won't mess up the shield. Anyone have any ideas? I was thinking the tpu case but I'm not sure. What do you guys think?

Hands down the best cases you can get for your phone at the TPU fusion cases. All TPU cases are great, but the TPU fusion just has a slightly higher level of detail.
There is a thread in this section about the TPU fusion cases that also has an online coupon code for like 10% off their already really cheap price.
I would link but I'm feeling lazy today. Happy hunting

Used to have more colors but now only have black, clear and red.
Act quick!
I originally bought the black gel skin from T-Mobile when I bought my phone. It was a lint magnet, though, and it added a significant amount of bulk to the phone. So I ended up buying a translucent smoke colored TPU case, OEM HTC variety, from Amazon. It's nice, feels good, looks good, has cutouts for all the buttons (so they aren't hard to press like some TPU cases) and doesn't add a huge amount of bulk to the phone, while also making it easier to hold onto.
I have used the Otterbox Commuter and the TPU Fusion case. I switch between the two. Plus they both protect the phone well and fit inside of my Seidio holster.

Is the Seidio holster you're using the standard one for the MT4G? Or did you have to use a larger size? I'm looking for a good case to replace the Seidio one I'm currently using, but I like the design of the Seidio holster...

As previously stated, the trident case is very good, but if your not willing to spend the money you can go for the TPU fusion. Its cheaper, and still has a modern look to it.

My review:

Try the Otterbox Commuter case. It's fairly cheap for a otterbox, and it looks like it'd be a good case that would work well with invisishield,
I was wondering if anyone could recommend a heavy duty case for me? I'm an electrician, and the case has to be durable because i work on construction sites. Otterbox doesn't make the Defender series for this phone unfortunately so i'm looking for an alternative thats just as rugged.
i can recommend to you Incipio ngp case
is made of hard rubber and cover the entire edge of the phone
certainly protects the phone very well, but i will change it because it's too big .... i think that is right for you!

I disagree, do not use this, I does not sound like it would suit your needs.
There is the Ballistic Case, http://www.goballisticcase.com/products/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-sgh-i9100-ballistic-shell-gel-sg-series-case. My friend had one for a phone of his, and they are certainly big and beefy.
There is the Case-Mate Tough, http://www.case-mate.com/Samsung-Galaxy-S-II-Cases-International/Case-Mate-Samsung-Galaxy-S-II-International-Version-Tough-Cases.asp. I have one and I like it, it may be enough for what you are looking for.
There is also the Trident Kraken, http://www.tridentcase.com/case/samsung/samsung-galaxy/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-kraken-ams-case.html. It looks to be one tough mother.
Those are some of the more widely known, very protective cases. There may be more, but those are probably the most recommended.

I would be inclined to go with the Kraken. I recently purchased it's weaker sibling, the Aegis case, from Shop4USB via Amazon Uk (£24.33) .... Utterly stunning and oh so protective.
Looks like the Kraken retails for about £35 online
This youtube vid compares the Kraken and the Otterbox Defender quite nicely
Awesome! I will look into the suggestions, i appreciate the help!
Dropped my OPO about 4 feet, and the screen cracked. I have the official OPO case that I ordered with my phone but it clearly didn't help any. Looking for a rugged case but all I can find is the Diablo Tough Rugged case. Can anyone recommend another? I am paying 120 for this screen so I'd like to actually protect it this time.
I'd get a tempered glass screen protector personally
Tudia Slim-Fit Cygen
I use the Tudia Slim-Fit Cygen case and it's proven to be a very solid case. I don't think there are any TRULY rugged cases out there for the OPO yet, but this is probably the closest one TO that.
Getting a tempered glass screen protector is a great idea. I purchased one a few months ago. OnePlus recently started actually having their official TP screen protector on their main site .. which is the way I'd undoubtedly go if I purchased one today. With that said .. I certainly wouldn't stop there. Tempered glass screen protector + the most protective case available (Cygen .. unless something new has been released that I haven't seen .. which I'd love to hear about) sounds like the best move.
what he said
Yes.. I bought a diztronic ultra and a tudia.. The diztronic didn't make the cut, the Tudia is better made and just looks a lot better. I also been looking for a good case for this phone, but the only thing that comes close is the jkase. But I feel good about the Tudia and a glass screen protector.
I'm still waiting for something to come along.

Layer some Sugru on a non-slick case and you'll have a great rugged case.

Never had the chance to see a case like this, but I think that part will be bad quality plastic or easy to get dirty or fingerprints/ air inside. Need to watch a review before buying
