If anyone has any other recommendations please post a link to one of your fav rugged cases!
after messing about with the UAG Composite, Seidio Active (which is a lint magnet, pity) and Otterbox's Commuter, i've finally settled with Body Glove's Bodysuit.
that being said i've been known to be fickle

and for a quite balanced review, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGs_H1607ao&feature=plcp
the channel contains more case reviews with dimensions thrown in (i think they take measurements at the thickest, widest points of the case)
without question in my personal opinion this is my all time favorite ultra rugged case

I absolutely love this case. I have gotten hybrids like this that are HORRIBLE the trick is to find the one with those 6 arc's on the back. THOSE are the good ones.
I have orange and blue coming in for the S3. I found orange plastic portion but I don't want to pay $16 for it (I got the other 2 for under $10)
I have accidentally "hard core" tested this case twice and hopefully never again. it came through perfectly both times.
Once I saw a wasp go into the gas cover of my metro. I opened the gas cover NEST
cool time for pictures. usually insects ignore you unless you mess with em. Wasp's not the same. they are "proactive"
once I got within about 12" a small squadron of them (5 or 6 of the 11 or so that were their (counted in the picture later) took off right for my hand to teach me the error of my ways.
once I felt the wind from their wings I panicked and ended up flinging the phone into a nice high arc 15ft out into the street !!
not a scratch on it.
another time MORON me stuck the phone on the top lip inisde the van hatch. I forgot I had put it their and proceeded to close the hatch on the phone. The sickening crack I heard I would have sword was my phone segregating into two pieces. right across the screen.
Nope it was just the case crunching. it did its job and protected the phone.
EXTREMELY impressed with these cases and I can get them in almost any color combo I want (just have to buy 2 to get the colors you want
I have this case for every phone I have except my defy xt only because they have not made one for it yet.
unless the bamboo case I ordered really grabs me I will probably end up with this case on my S3 as well. I just love this case
and its CHEAP you can usually get one for $8 or $9 shipped

I'm happy when others are happy...... I'd never put this on my phone however. It's F'n huge!
Currently not being productive on my S3.
well the way I see it "huge" costs me $8 while "broken phone" costs me $500 easy decision.
I am "rough" with my stuff sometimes.
plus while this is unique to me that is still "small" to me. I am 6'4" 440 pounds size 13-14 shoes.
to me that size is "just right"

It's not a bad case. I had the $4 version on my S3, but without a holster it was stuck in my pocket. So while running around at work it tended to sweat which freaked me out. It lasted a good month until one day I picked it up without the phone in it and the plastic sides cracked. Maybe the more expensive ones are of a higher quality.
yeah I have gotten some that were so cheap I would not even put my phone in them. scary crap out their
I don't like the silicon first cases like the otter box since if anything gets INSIDE the case it will grind away the finish on the phone. this is less likely with hard first.
From what I've heard the dba ultra case is supposed to be pretty rugged
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
well I could not wait. too paranoid so I paid the anal rape price for a case at a store. I refused to pay $20 for a $3 TPU case so I got a nicer case. a SPECK case in green and grey (better than black or white)
Uploading some pictures now
the design of this case is interesting. its almost as slim as a TPU case but it silicon and polycarbonate like a rugged case. I guess I would call it a "slim rugged"
its "one piece" so the two parts are bonded together. cutouts are perfect. the buttons are super tactile and responsive. LOVE the buttons.
would have preferred a brighter color like blue or orange but its better than black or white that is for sure !
I am actually quite impressed with the case. it FEELS wonderful fits tight does not appear as if it will become lose over time thanks to the polycarbonate shell.
if I you are looking for slim instead of full on armor I would definitely consider this case. very well made looks nice and feels nice adding surprisingly little bulk to the phone.
Here are maybe a couple others to consider-
http://www.tech21.uk.com/#
The most rugged tech21 case actually includes their less expensive case inside another shell, it looks like a reverse defender.
The other one I actually just bought but haven't gotten it yet-
http://www.dbacases.com/complete-ultra.aspx
The complete ultra is like the candy shell/hybrids but has a tpu inner instead of a silicone inner, I don't know about protection levels but it definitely looks better than the other hybrid types, maybe a "semi-rugged"?
So I am really torn. With my old phone I had a case originally, but I would swap batteries twice a day, plus I could never dock it in the car (since I had a dock made for my phone), or on my desk.
I am guessing with this phone I would not be switching batteries as regularly as I am now, but I still have the home/car dock issue. What do you guys think???
You can think of cases/screen protectors as insurance. In the end, it's up to you. But, one accident is all that is needed to ruin the phone.
I plan on getting a case, but my situation is going to be slightly different than your's. I have no issues with the dock situation.
Trust me, case up. I dropped my galaxy s3 and it smashed into tiny pieces. It wasn't insured so I was screwed.

The phone will be too valuable for me to drop. I seem to drop them from time to time. I will have some kind of case (bought 2 already).
As far as the battery switching, with the 3100mAh batt and resonably long life as reports elsewhere, I think you won't be de-casing nearly as often.
My present iPhone (gasp) has an otter case. Taking apart the 2 part casing to change batts would really get old fast.
Once you drop a phone in a parking lot, you learn to slap a case on it as soon as possible.
Otterbox JUST came out with the iPhone 5 case this week (or maybe late last week). That is a longgggg time to not have a case if the same trend goes with the Note 2.
Samsung TPU Case
I grabbed one of the actual Samsung branded TPU cases. First time I've ever bought an OEM case. It's a very, very slick case. Feels nice in the hand, doesn't add bulk and has a raised from edge. It's a bit pricey at 30$ and the only complaint that I have right now is the AUX hole isn't that big so a bulky connector still means I have to remove it.
Other than that, the grey on grey looks glorious.
I have never cased my phones. I've always used a horizontal to carry the phone on my belt. My S and SII have both been dropped several times and the only issue I have had is scuffing and nicks on the edges. Amazingly they help up better than I would of thought. The hip case has always worked well for me and provides good protection. But once the phone is removed from the case it up to you to keep it protected.
I'm planning on picking up a note II and have picked up a horizontal case for mt belt and a case with a bumper around the edge and a flip cover. I'm afraid the case my make the phone a little thicker than I'd like and am looking for an additional case with a slim profile bet also covers the back and edges.
The note II being a large phone, with a little more weight and a large surface area I'm thinking a case would be a good idea. I'd say a nice minimalistic case that is easy to remove is the way to go.
Sweet Armor
Sweet Armor is a Korean company that produces premium metal cases for mobile phones. Currently, it has produces cases for three popular Android phones, the GS2, GS3 and the GNote.
Sweet Armor Galaxy S3 Titanium Rainbow
Packaging
The packing is not bad at all compare to SGP or other companies. As you can see in the pictures, the case protected by four soft foams inside the box, which I think is very thoughtful, as this is a very expensive case, no one would like it to be damaged during the shipping.
Inside the box, there are 8 Philips screws and a little small Philips screwdriver. The build quality of the screwdriver did surprise me a little while. The screwdriver is well built and it is magnet, which can certainly help your installation of the case, the screws are very small.
There is one thing that may be disappointed- there is no manual inside the box. You may say it is easy to figure out how to install the case but I think it would be nicer if there were a manual inside the box along with a USD72 dollars case.
Built Quality
The built quality of this case is 10 out of 10. The case is very solid and the colouring of the case is very well done. It is definitely one of the best cases in the world with no doubt. The edges are smooth and the cuttings are perfect.
On the case, there are two holes on the left side of the case, which allow you to put a string strap. Although I do not use a string strap, I think these two holes are very nice as some people may want to put a string strap onto a phone and most of the cases/ phones nowadays do not provide this.
Also, there are two button covers at the position of the power button and the volume rockers. These not only help to prevent dust getting into the gap between the phone and the case, but also help to make the buttons easier to access. I have no problem in using the power button and the volume rockers when I using this case. The buttons are sensitive and “clicky”.
This case does add some weight to the phone. However, the weight is very small. You can definitely feel the weight but the weight is acceptable. you would not feel the phone too heavy, in my personally opinion.
I have used a lot of cases in the past, from the cheap Ebay cases to SGP expensive cases but there is no cases that can give me the Sweet Armor case can give me. All the cases that I used in the past kept gave me a very “plastic feeling”. When I tried to hold the phone very tight, I felt like I was going to break the phone. But when I am using the Sweet Armor case, it gives me a totally different feeling of the phone. The case is very solid and when I try to hold the phone very tight, I do not feel any “plastic feeling”. The case gives an extra strength to the phone to against the force from the outside, and this makes me feel the phone more “solid” and steadier when I am holding it.
Although this is a metal bumper, it provides a little lift at the back of the phone, which prevents the back of the phone from scratching. So it does not have the common problem that most of the bumpers in the market have.
For your information, during the time I use this case, there is no reception/NFC problem for me.
However, there are some problems about the case, too. The headphone and the micro USB cut outs of the case are not big enough, so if you are using an expensive pair of earphone like the Westone 4R, TF10 pro, or other head phones, you may need to find a extend 3.5mm cable; if you are using a dock such as the Samsung OEM dock, or the Zen dock, you cannot use the docks when you are using the case unless you uninstall the case. Sweet Armor might needs to make a bigger cut out for these two ports in the next edition of the cases.
Talking about the installation of the case, it is very simple. The case only requires one screw at every corner of the phone (total: 4 screws). However, when you try the swap the SIM card or battery of the phone, you will find the case does not come handy. There is no way for you to do any of the things that I talked above if you forget to bring the screwdriver with you. Therefore, if you are a person who usually swaps your SIM card or change battery, this case may not suit you.
There is one more issue about the case, for the people with small hands, like me. The case will makes the phone wider and taller, so it will make it harder to use the phone with one hand.
Conclusion
Overall, considering the price of this case, I would not say the built quality surprises me, as this is what a $72 case has to have. The case is very solid, very beautiful and stylish, and very thin. It can certainly handle a few drops from a certain height but you cannot expect it can protect your phone from 2 meters height. For normal daily usage, I think this case does its job. And if you are looking for a luxury metal bumper, I think this is one of the cases in the market you should consider.
Wow it's a So beauty

Will these fit with an extended battery? They look like there's enough room on the back bezel for the extended cover to fit.
Too expensive for a BUMPER, I can't stand bumpers who are twice as expensive as some of the higher end cases with half the protection.

I'm trying to find a case with a belt clip but I've only found one believe it or not. Searching Amazon I've found the same case rebranded a hundred times over.
Problem is, I bought one and it has a critical flaw. With the case on the phone, insert it into the slip holster (aka clamshell) and the railing of holster constantly pushes the power button, so every time I pull out the phone, it reboots! I though it was my phone at first. Anyway, all designs on Amazon are the same! Just overseas made and sold by differing names.
I checked eBay too
I have found some nice horizontal cases (with a flap) that I think will work but I'm feeling like I will never see a true clamshell or clip design for this device...
I don't pocket my phones at all. I find it ruins the finish and is uncomfortable to me.
Just a rant. Anyone know of a well built case that offers a belt clip. I'll pay the price for a quality case, gladly!

A crazy idea that might work....
I had an idea! The Axon 7 measures 5.97 x 2.95 x .31 and the Google Pixel XL measures 6.09 x 2.98 x .33. With my TPU case on, I think if I purchase the Seidio spring clip holster this might just fit the bill. The side rails might be cutting it close, but I am willing to take the chance.

I tried that one. It has a critical design flaw. When I put it into the belt holder, the belt holder pushes, and holds, the power button hard-rebooting my phone every time. I think the inner rubber phone case fits loosely which causes too much material over the power button. LOL Otherwise it isn't that bad of a combo.

Amazon. Com
Received my Poetic Revolution series case for my A7 today. I am very impressed by it thus far, especially by the built-in screen protector since there are no full screen tempered glass protectors for the A7 due to the curved glass. I don't plan on tossing my phone around to test out the durability but it feels like it is going to offer some good protection all around.
Is there any flip cover case with sleep/lock function, like the original?
Couldn't find any, on ebay or EU amazons, except the original from US which costs 55 $ with postage to Europe...
Nillkin, who has such nice quality and economy cases, has not produced an Axon 7 case.
Any suggestions pleaseeee ?
I'm very happy with the one given in the box.

You can buy the original from ZTE or B&H. Both dropped the price to 9.99 USD. B&H I know ships internationally-don't know about ZTE.

Please report back when you get it, as I'm very curious how it works with signal - every metal case I've ordered in the past for my other phones has reduced the signal slightly to significantly. I had thought the slightly wasn't a problem - what's a decrease of 1-2 bars when you're at full strength anyway?
The problem is when you're in a poor signal area and you NEED that 1 bar and you have to take the phone out of the case to work!
On another note, I wish that someone would make a simple backless bumper case - I miss those days when I could use my phone practically naked with just a protective bumper around the sides.

Ah, sorry to hear about that - I was hoping you had good news, but it seems not only did you not get what you wanted, but have to go through a bit of inconvenience to return the product. I appreciate that you shared your experience, though- thanks a lot for saving me from the same mistake.
I've using my poetic case for a few months now, and thus far I have a few complains
- flaps they remain open after a while, I cut them off both recently
- screen protector awful scratches easily, removed it and used a higher quality protector instead
now is near perfect the case plays well with third party screen protectors and is VERY sturdy, has saved me from QUITE a few drops

I spent tons of time looking for cases for the Axon 7 and found that honestly there are 5 variants. The poetic tank case, the Spigen "rugged armor" case, the dual layer (rubber plus plastic) case thats rebranded by tons of companys, the "iron man" dual layer case (Also rebranded by various companies), and the belt clip one with terrible reviews because of the problem you stated. There are a few others that are some variation of the above or some see-through ones with bumpers but honestly none seemed satisfactory.
In light of this I decided to opt for ZTE's own hybrid material case. I haven't dropped the phone since I put it on but it is definitely sturdier than the case they included with the phone and the material is hard enough yet flexible enough that it seems like it would be able to take a hit without causing any damage to the phone. It also fits really well and is not bulky either. I realize this might not be what you're looking for but for some strange reason good quality cases are far and few between for this phone (perhaps due to some kind of licensing issue from ZTE?) so that case might be your best bet :/. You could potentially get some other kind of belt holster and have this phone sit in it while in the case.

Aluminum doom
Though this question was posed back in May , I didn't see a response answering the question so I'll answer it for you in case anyone else is curious . I purchased the Mirror case for $3.89 on eBay in piano black . ( I always seem to find better deals there and easier to navigate then the Big A but that's just my opinion). It is indeed a beautiful case and mine came in with no damage whatsoever . Indeed it is a tight fit putting the back on but once you get it in place everything does line up perfectly . The concern from another member was whether or not the signal would be blocked with the aluminum casing around the edges . The answer is a very easy yes . The signal degrades horribly . I only get two bars inside my home and with the case on it dropped to 0 with no signal whatsoever . It does get some signal outside but it's not worth using this case if I may be missing important calls or messages from clients . Sadly it's just a beautiful case with poor execution with the materials involved . Fortunately I didn't lose much on the case itself . I really wanted this one to work strictly because it looked so awesome even though it's not great when it comes to protecting the phone itself in a drop . Hope this helps if anyone else was curious about the case.
[=rEVOLVE;72176896]Please report back when you get it, as I'm very curious how it works with signal - every metal case I've ordered in the past for my other phones has reduced the signal slightly to significantly. I had thought the slightly wasn't a problem - what's a decrease of 1-2 bars when you're at full strength anyway?
The problem is when you're in a poor signal area and you NEED that 1 bar and you have to take the phone out of the case to work!
On another note, I wish that someone would make a simple backless bumper case - I miss those days when I could use my phone practically naked with just a protective bumper around the sides.[/QUOTE]
I have a Spigon now and it's nice and slim and textured so it doesn't slip out of my pocket every time I sit down.
But the bottom is too hard and hurts my pinky after long periods of use. I'm usually an otterbox nut but that's not available...yet.
Just thought I'd see what the community has to say

I got my Otterbox before the phone was available.
I use the unicorn beetle on my note 10+ I've been using that brand since the note 5 only issue I had with it is no built in screen protector but I still have the one that came on the phone
The leather samsung case is the best I've ever had on any phone. I got the blue one. The sides are rigid as on a phone this big rubber can be too flexible. Get it when theres an offer on. I got it 50% off. All my other cases are redundant.
I wish Samsung has the tan color for the N10+ leather case on their website
I like the Samsung Rugged case. I had it on my Note 9 and bought it for my 10+. I had a couple of scary drops with the Note 9 including one in which the impact caused the S-pen to be ejected and break but the phone was unscathed. The case had a good ding on it, but it did it's job. The Note 10+ rugged case also has two built in kick stands for different viewing angles.

I wish Pitaka would make a mag case pro for the Note 10. My wife is rough with phones and needs the extra protection. I would place a large order with them if they would make that case. I want the regular mag case for my 10+ but cant justify it if all phones in the house cant make the most of their chargers. I loved the case on our Note 8's but, they dropped the ball last year and never made one for the Note 9. Pitaka seems too interested in keeping the Apple fan base supported. It's sad really as they truly do have well built, innovative and super convenient products.
Rant over... lol
I did a review of a few lesser known cases which may help
