It seems like everytime i open a thread about a maximum protection case someone is saying how stupid it is to buy such a thin phone then put a case like an otterbox or ballistic on it.
Heres the thing, id be willing to bet that atleast 1/4 of the users on xda do some type of physical labor work such as construction since its is one of the most profitable industries right now. I myself install fire protection sprinkler systems which is a very physical job. I have a nextel for work but lets face it we all cant go 10 mins without our smartphone lol.
People want to be able to take out sleek sexy thin phones into these hazardous enviroments and not have to worry about breaking them. Heck i remember when i had my treo 650 back in the day i stuffed it in a sock lol. And the sad part is most of the threads i read on here where a phone was dropped or whatever it dosent involve work or doing something hazardous. Its something like oh my friend was checking it out and dropped it or i got out my car and forgot it was in my lap. Then there showing pics of broken screens and scuffed up corners. I can say that right now there are only 3 cases i trust to put on my phone and thats a ballistic maxx and otterbox defender which i have both and the case mate phantom looks to be tough besides that i dont trust any seidio, body glove, tpu, bumper or incipio case on my phone. Because since ive had my phone its dont fell out my lap while getting out my car, ive dropped it off ladders and i think the ultimate test was when my gf was riding super man ride of steele at 6 flags she was holding her phone up and when she hit a hard turn guess what went flying out of her hand.....thats right a shine new s3 but she has the pink ballistic maxx on her phone. It dropped about 50 feet onto the concrete.
When we found it the case was dirty but after she wiped it it was if nothing happened. So for the people who think that those of us who put premium cases on our phones our idiots this is just a few reasons why i do it bc with out these bsllistics its safe to say me and my gf both would of done destroyed our phones. You mite say well dont be so clumsy and i can respect that but if you can throw a case on your phone that allows you not to worry about accidents hey why not.......plus my gfs phone was recording the whole time lol what s cool video lol

First off..wall of text.
Secondly, the incident with the phone and the roller coaster, she deserved it.
Lastly it comes down to preference. Some people prefer the big cases because they want to protect their investment or make the phone easier to grip etc. Others prefer to keep the phone sleek and sexy and can do without the phone as they are pretty careful

Reason i didnt say kracken was bc she had a pink one on her evo3d. It was a nice case but most of it was a hard plastic material. Didnt seem it would absorb impact very well
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
Honestly I think badly fitting loose cases probably have more protection because if you drop it that gap should give the case a bit of spring when it hits and less energy goes into the phone.

I dont have a youtube acct. I dont have facebook or twitter or any of that we just showed it to alot of people. Im trying to find the picture as im writing this that the camera the park uses to take pics snapped of us hitting another turn bc my gf is looking backwards under the turn that she dropped it and u see me looking at her with my hands up but at the time i was saying "theres no effin way your gona see that small ass phone so quit looking!!!" lol. One thing that helped was we new we were gona take pics in the water that day so we both applyd the screen protectors ballistic provides with the case. I think that may have played a key role in saving the phone

Ok, she broke the second Atrix. The first one she dropped and cracked the screen so I got a rubber case for the replacement.
This time she left it on top of the car and it got ran over by a truck.
Since our health care provider doesn't cover brain transplant, can anyone recommend some kind of industrial war proof hard case or something for the Atrix?

get one of those helmets that you see some mentally retarded people wear for the phone. otherwise, i think you should... wait for it... wait for it... keep on having patience. i mean you either have to deal with it, because you're obviously dogging her for being "retarded" and staying with her, so that makes you the guy with the retarded girl or you're just going to have to love every phone she breaks. i mean love her for who she is.

Go in the house and smash the stove with a hammer everytime she does something wrong. Worked for me.
But in regards to the case;
I work in a factory operating an oversized grab forklift. I have the otter box defender case, and have dropped it out of the forklift all together heaps of times, no physical damage. Though, its bulky and not very lady like.
I stick by my original advice to take a hammer to her stove though.
I have the otter box commuter and love it. Its just like the ballistic except the commuter has covers for all the ports.

I've got that, broke several phones on it. When it's EOL (and they can't fix it) they give you credit toward a new phone. Killer deal.
Edit: I also have an Otterbox on mine but that's only because I worked in the field for a long time, losing your phone mid-day kind of sucks.
So I got my epic 4g, flashed it to hell and back, and somewhere along the line my usb port shorted so I couldn't Odin back to stock. Brought it back and they said that even though it was rooted, they would order me a replacement, if I told him how to root his E4GT. cool and everything, but...
Well, then came the day I was going in to exchange it...I was skating there and I hit a rock and my phone flew about 20 feet away. The screen was DESTROYED. Brought it back to the sprint store hoping for the best...handed it to the tech and she looked at me like I was insane, then handed me my new phone. Then she asked if I was on xda and smiled and said hell yes:3 I then ran out of the store before someone came and took it back xP So thank you sprint techs that are awesome and root their phones and stuff, you saved my ass.

Buy a tpu case. It is like 9.99 on Amazon and has saved my phone a number of times. Once my headphone cord got hooked on a door and caused me to throw my phone to the floor (not drop, throw lol). Picked it up and the phone was fine.
You will have to cut the volume rocker out of the case. It is insanely hard to press for some reason. I used a knife and scissors to cut the volume rocker out of the case, was easy to do, once you get the hole you can almost finish by hand just by tearing it.

I think you ran out of the store cause she made you nervous. The conversation starts off about xda but who knows what nerd talk like that would've led too
Mandado from my E4GT
as of right now, sprint really doesn't have a policy about phones that are rooted other than putting it back to stock. If the problem is still there after the stock rom is on the phone, then it is still covered. tell you the truth if your nice to the techs and let them know its rooted they most likey won't care... atleast i wouldn't
Stop playing basketball with your phone! and congrats they helped ya in the pinch
Seriously guys almost all of us (techs at sprint) are rooted and rommed and could care less if you are, but there really are times when it can help us get things taken care of faster if you just say it and don't try to deny it. We still cover all the same stuff we would if you weren't rooted. Plus its cool to see some of the stuff people have running on their phones

Yeah I typically remove mine the minute they show any lift from the casing, which is usually pretty early on. The few times I waited longer to remove them I did end up with a sticky spot, drove me insane.

My phone has lived in various cases since day 1, never noticed it

Guys, thought I would share a case of I just got in the mail today. You can view it here:
http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=251205640188&index=12&nav=SEARCH&nid=51832567878
Didn't know how it would be as the price is very good. But I must say it is very good. Very solid on the phone and feels just like a real Otterbox. Even has the Otter logo on the back of the case and on the holster. Very happy with this purchase. Spending $12 on a case that is very close to the ones that list for $40+ is a deal in my book any day!
It ships from Hong Kong so it will take a few days. Mine arrived very quickly even through the holidays. About 9 days which is very good.

How's the power and volume button stiffness? Is it super hard to press or is it much easier to press than the real one?
can you post some pics of it on your phone?
I will try and get some pics up soon. The case feels really firm. The Plastic does not give any and the buttons are hard, in a good way. They are firm to when you push them they respond. It is really hard to tell this is a knock off. Heck, the holster is just like the otter box kind. No doubt it will hold up if dropped.

Ok ikn what you all do with your phones but ive been using otterbox since tye original htc evo... i work in retail as a stock clerk... im always loading akd unloading trucks , cutting opening boxes amd packages , in dusty areas ( sometimes ) ive dropped my otterbox several times and never cracked or broke never got anything in it ... also you can get defender cases for about $20 on amazon with tax and shipping maybe $25. Thats half of retail... same with the commuter case runs about $17 on amazon.... also otterbox has a great warranty I had one issue on my evo of the rubber scratching out ... contacted otter box not only did they send me a whole new case but also sent me 2 new rubber pieces so the $12 you spent $10 more dollars you can get a real otter box and have a great warranty.... btw I have friends that have that case and the rubber will stratch out fast and will have to buy another case within 4 months or so.... btw picture is showing how many otter boxes I have gotten for one phone and how easy it is to replace.

the defender is a little too much for me. I'm looking for something in between, hence the commuter or ballistic sg.

Im very satisfied with the commuter case, you gotta break it in, pull the plastic to get a good fit, but i feel safe.

This is theft, plain and simple.
I reported it to Ebay for counterfeit violation. You guys want companies to make cool cases? Don't support this stuff. Companies invest a lot of money in their product and some clown in Hong Kong doesn't need to be supported in stealing their effort.

I don't expect that you would understand. Stupid people are not my problem.

Guys, thought I would share a case of I just got in the mail today. You can view it here:
http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=251205640188&index=12&nav=SEARCH&nid=51832567878
Didn't know how it would be as the price is very good. But I must say it is very good. Very solid on the phone and feels just like a real Otterbox. Even has the Otter logo on the back of the case and on the holster. Very happy with this purchase. Spending $12 on a case that is very close to the ones that list for $40+ is a deal in my book any day!
It ships from Hong Kong so it will take a few days. Mine arrived very quickly even through the holidays. About 9 days which is very good.

I am being completely serious when I tell you that I enjoyed the message you sent me (attached here). I thought it was quite funny. I would tell you that I think you are projecting but it occurred to me that you'd still have no idea what I was referring to. :good:

The person I traded my phone with included a rubber case. A little thick. The color was kind of girly, so I took it off for a few minutes. Used it without the case, and feels MUCH better.
Anyone else raw dog their note 2?

Only a week when I first got it, it stays in an otterbox to keep it sexy for resale.

Too slippery naked imo, gotta have a case on it
Half the time it has no case, for special occasions when it needs a rubber grip on goes the thin body glove case.

My friend told me he don't need a case on his note 2 because it feels awesome without it. He kept insisting he is careful and don't need one, even though I recommended him to use a case. Few weeks later he msged me i need of how to back up / restore contents to a phone. I'm sure you can guess how this story went.
Oem case is pretty awesome. Protects agile giving it the naked look.

I use a case when I am fapping only, the rubber on the outside helps keep a one handed grip on the phone to help prevent slipping into the toilet.

Something scary happened yesterday.
The phone slipped from my hand and fell over the stairway, and rolled down downstairs. I was so scared the screen will be destroyed, but lo and hehold, there is NO DAMAGE!
I use Body Glove hybrid case.
Any phone I have ever owned has always been naked. No screen protector or case. I haven't dropped a phone yet. I never get insurance either. I just treat my phones like a baby lol. Would you ever drop your baby?
Besides phones are meant to look and feel sexy just the way they are haha. Go naked!

Lol after having a son who is very very wiggly since birth, I feel I am qualified to say no. I would never drop my baby. And I never have. And I dont drop my phone. No case around the house and a rubber for my extended battery when I feel adventuresome!

Couldn't agree more. I've yet to drop any of my $500-$700 and up phones. I also treat them like a baby.

I've used cases since my Nokia 5120 days. You can baby your phone all you want but you can't account for pure accidents. You might be holding it when some kid barrels into you from behind, causing your phone to go flying onto the concrete. Plus there's normal wear & tear to worry about too- you may *never* drop it but no device is going to remain pristine after 1-2 years of daily use. You WILL get scratches, rub marks, chips, etc.
I refurbish phones for a living & I can always tell who's used a case & who hasn't, even if there aren't any obvious signs of a drop. We get SO much more money for phones that were kept in cases, in fact half of the jobs I do consist of swapping good components into non-wrecked housings.
I dunno, it's all about choice, but you'll never catch me without a case. Too much here worth protecting, IMO.

What if you don't need to trade in your phone or re sell it to buy the newest phone? I usually always give my old phone to my nieces, nephews, or a family member.
I've never really used a phone case, and all my phones have always been in excellent condition. Of course, back in the day I'd have a phone clip on, but that was during the motorolla days.

I always keep my phone for a year and then sell them on eBay in the condition of 9/10 or better. If that accident does ever happen, then we'll, it's not the end of the world lol. To me it would be worth enjoying a naked phone...
It's like what's the point of having a nice slim phone when your just gonna slap a hefty case on it. Idk, I guess it's all personal preference.
