My new Otterbox Atomic case and Elago Stylus

I was having extremely difficult time in choosing which color of the device to go with...
I've had White and Black iPhone 4s before and now I have the Black iPhone 4S.
Through out my life... I've only had black phones... and I felt like White was a refreshing changes.
So, when I actually wanted to go with the White Galaxy S3... T-Mobile was actually backordered with the White device. So I only had an option of Blue of 16GB.
Also, I did my extensive research on which case and stylus to buy as well... so I've finally managed to go with a perfect match for our beautiful pebble blue.
I went with Atomic Blue of Otterbox and the combo of Elago Stylus with Pen and a extra tip.
Otterbox Defender is a amazing case... Not only this make the phone almost indestructible and makes the phone feel like a phone (added weight)
Sure, this case will add bulk and weight to the device, but remember that accidents can happen and this case is a investment for those who are clumsy.
Also, I think the color balance between pebble blue and the navy and green color of the Otterbox case makes it very unique.
I hope you enjoy the pictures and feel free to ask any questions. Oh and I am still debating if I should go with White one still...
You guys can convince me to stick with the pebble blue, instead of white.
(I made a poll option to help me to decide if I should keep the blue or exchange for white)

yessir! indeed. I am guessing you have the pebble blue as well? I want to check out how it would look on White S3

I think blue is cooler. And it won't fade like white phones often do. What do you use the stylus for? I haven't seen the before

I'm using my stylus for s-memo. I was tempted to buy the galaxy note for T-Mobile, but I can just buy the stylus for my s3. It's not as accurate as the note, but it works! Best of all s3 is newer and faster!
So what do you mean by fading for white phones?

Very sharp! I have the same case except it is the Teal (ish, whatever color you'd like to call it) version of it. I have the White Galaxy S 3 in it and I like how it looks. I originally wanted the blue one, but after the employee there let me see both of them in my case I opted for the white. I'd post a picture but I'm not a the 10 post count lol.
How are you liking the stylus? Do they work well on the S 3 for actually writing and things like that?

I love it! It was only $12 @amazon. Honestly I bought this one over the other ones, because the feature of the built in pen and an extra tip as well. Also the color of the stylus (indigo blue) matches perfectly with the pebble blue s3.
Only downside would be when writing on s-memo its not 100% accurate. Meaning writing can be a little aliasing on the edges.
I tried comparing my girlfriend's galaxy note, this thing is super accurate (using s-pen) but using the elago stylus makes it aliasing as well. It's not a bad trade off. Can't complain for $12 and the quality.
I'd highly recommend it! 8/10 because of not being completely accurate.

Hey I have a few questions please about the Otterbox defender case :
- How much does it weight without the galaxy s3 in ? ( 80g, 100g ?)
- How thick is it ? ( add 1 cm to galaxy s3 or more ?)
- Does the screen protector built in can be replace by an other standard screen protect if it's damaged ?
Thank you.
Btw, it's look like a nice case !
Sorry for my english.

I've owned a few white phones in the past. After a year or so they just don't look so bright white anymore. Maybe that's not th case with the s3 but thwts why I personally stay away from white ones. That and white cars. They just highlight all imperfections and any dirt whatsoever.

Im not 100% sure how much it weighs. but it sure does add more weight to it. (I personally like heaviness of the phone)
Thickness is about twice as S3...
And screen protector is built in to the case itself... They are anti-reflection protector. You can take it out and use your own screen protector for problem.
The screen protector is there to be a protection from sand and etc...
I am not a fan of this screen protector, because it gives rainbow effect on the screen, but you'll be thanking this case when accident happens or when the sun is glaring on your phone.
I hope I've answered all your questions. Also, youtube has plenty video on the size comparison.

personally, I have a black car and I think it shows way more grime then the white cars do... Also I've had White BBs before and it was fine until the leather part was attracting dirt and finger oil.
Damn, the poll saids to get the white phone... I might just exchange it. damn it!

Thank you for these explanations.
Yeah, I have watch some videos on youtube and it's look quite heavy ( personally, I dont like that )

well, remember... galaxy s3 is super light... and it feels like im not holding a phone on my hand.
I remember I had my s3 (without any case on) and while holding my naked s3 on my hand... Among my friends I said "anyone know where my phone is...?"
I never felt so dumb in my life. hahahaha

Yeah but in the pocket you feel it very well ^^ It's kinda big and take place.
I will see later if I buy it or not.

Thats what she said
I use the belt clip that came with Otterbox. It sure does look ridiculous on the belt... because it is damn big phone (although it's slim). But you know what, I've been told that the size matters
Anyways, you won't regret buying the Defender series... because Honestly, I think definer series offer better color options and it offers BETTER protection in real world.
Plus, $50 is pretty expensive, but getting from amazon... you can save about $20. so either way, you'll be able to save some money.
Keep us posted on which case you are going with... Also, I might buy SGP neo case, but I've been reading that these have problems with power/volume buttons... so I might skip and get the SGP thin air case instead. I will post up reviews and picture once all these cases arrive.
Also, I have Diztronic case as well (in matte blue). I will post a review and pictures up very soon!

Currently, I'm just with a cheap case from ebay and it fits quite well. I don't know if I'm ready to put 30/40 euros on a case by the way, quite expensive for a protection.
But don't worry, if I buy one, I will tell you
Edit: I just forgot to ask you something; some people said that there is a gap between the screen protector build in and the screen itself. Do you notice it or it was a random defect ?
Thanks.

I understand that you love you phone also, what color is your s3?
To answer your questions, yes that's definitely true. But, I have a extra screen protector on my phone itself.. (now I have to send it back for the dead pixels, and exchanging for the white one). I wouldn't go far as to say it's a defect, but the gap is VERY minimal. You'll be able to tell when you are just lightly tapping the touch screen. but it won't affect the sensitivity of the device itself.
If you don't like that, you can always remove the screen protector and use your own SP.

Also, I would like to know for those people who have voted for the poll.
Why did you guys vote for the white? instead of the blue?

Thanks for the answer.
I have a blue galaxy s3

Magnetic Book Cover EFC-1G2NGEGSTA vs EFC-1G2NGECXAR

I'm having a hard time understanding the differences between these 2 Samsung covers.
What is the EFC-1G2NGEGSTA material? Is it the same as the non-magnetic book cover EFC-1G2NGECXAR? I've seen the EFC-1G2NGECXAR at Best Buy and wasn't really that impressed. It seemed kind of like cheap vinyl/plastic. Is the only difference between these the magnet?

I would like to know as well about this. Why does Samsung have different prices for what it seems to be the same cover?

So I see Samsung now has these in a many new colors. Wow. Well I used my 50% off coupon and bought the official gray cover from their store. Total was about $35 with tax and shipping.
We shall see...

I just got a nonmagnetic one and its really good. Wish It had magnets though because the screen cover is loose.
Sent from my GT-N8010 using xda app-developers app

Has anyone figured out what the exact difference is? I just purchased the magnetic one and saw some youtube reviews of the original. SAME THING! Magnets in the the same place. Same coverage. I just got off the phone with samsung and they couldn't tell me the difference. They say the magnetic one has more magnets. I don't think so. Also they say the materials are different. I'm not sure about that. Samsung guy also told me that they don't make the book cover anymore and this is the new one. Which is why they charge $10 more. In my opinion, they just relabeled the same product and made it more expensive. Can anyone confirm there is a difference?

So I stopped by a local best buy and compared my "magnetic" book cover and realized there is absolutely no difference. Size, weight, material, magnetic placement were all the same.
@dtziheucdavis if you're thinking that the magenetic one keeps the front flap closed it does not. (At least the one I have)
So now I'm wondering if samsung sent me the wrong one if there is a difference.
Any thoughts? As mentioned I spent about 30 minutes on the phone with samsung and after 3 reps later, all they could tell me was that there are more magnets and the material is better (not true through direct comparison). If there are more magnets its non functional.

Well, I just used the 50% off promotion and ordered the red one. I already had the gray 49.99 model, so i will be able to do a comparison as soon as it arrives. Also, I was able to use the coupon to order the s pen holder. It has good reviews on Amazon.
I just would like the option of the screen going off automatically when the cost is closed m or the s pen is re-inserted into its holder on the tab.

I received my EFC-1G2NGEGSTA today. It appears to be the same as the non-magnet one I saw at BB, with the exception of the magnets. Seems OK. I may keep it, despite growing to really like the i-BLASON I got from Amazon.
We shall see if the non-latching (or non-magnet clinging) cover is an issue. I kind of liked the latch on the i-BLASON and the extra padding the case provided.
Took one week to arrive from order placed to received.
EDIT: Really digging the fit and slim profile! I hope it doesn't suck up the scratches.
Sent from my GT-N8013 using Tapatalk HD

Hey where exactly is the magnets? On the regular book cover there are magnets too. When I compared my magnet one to the non magnet it was exactly the same. Is there a magnet that keeps the front flap closed? I sat at best buy for 10 minutes comparing my magnet and the regular book cover to find no difference. Thanks.

So the "front" cover has 3 sections (seperated by 2 creases)....a 1 inch or so section near the "hinge", a 4 inch or so section in the middle, and a 1/2 inch or so section. It seems that the only parts that stick are the 1/2 inch section when it is aligned in the middle of the cover back.
Hard to describe without picture, but does that make sense?

That is exactly how my "Magnetic" one is. And from what dtziheucdavis says his non-magnetic one is the exact same. I think Samsung just rebranded and is now charging $10 more for the same thing. Not cool!

I might be a little off topic but I found this case on ebay.co.uk:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Smart-Mag...lePhonesCasesPouches&var=&hash=item416f5f3250
It really looks like the official ones that you are talking about, and it only costs £11!
Do you think that there is any trick here? I'm surprised by such a low price and it makes me suspicious, but more than 300 people already bought it and the seller is an ebay top-rated one...
I also had a few questions for the owners of an official case: does the 2 positions (for typing and viewing) hold well? Will the tablet fall if I type a bit strongly on the screen? And also, I don't use the camera that much but it can happen so isn't it too annoying that the camera is covered when you open the case?
Thanks guys!

I bought one 15 € and it's just like the official one (excepted the price).
You have to know that samsung offers 20 € if you buy an official one, so it will cost you only 20 €

Do they use 3M like dbrand? I loved dbrand's skins for Nexus 4. I'm waiting for them to make customs for the One, but they had a problem with One build variants.

From that angle, it looks like it raises the back enough so that it protects the camera. But that's probably not the case since it's just since a skin...

Good Point, however, most skins i've seen kind of wrap the sides with the back part of the skin. So they might not be separate, but the back might cover the sides as well, a shame that there are no photos of the sides =/

FYI if anyone wants to get one of these skins ask them what the dimensions are for them and compare to your phones.
dbrand had problems with the build qualities of the One and the difference between the different variants.
Here's what they said when I asked about them making a custom for my One. And these guys are meticulous about their quality/fit.
PS I bought a Nexus 4 custom skin from them, it fits perfectly, as if it was a part of the phone.
I'm waiting for dbrand to finish perfecting them. 3M gave them a leftover roll for the red carbon fiber used on the new ferrari.
It's rough man... HTC won't give us any of the CAD files due to some bs about not being a part of their "licensed accessory partner program". We can confirm that some devices are slightly different than others. The tolerance is about 0.2mm, which doesn't sound like a lot, but it really is.
Disclaimer: stop reading now if you don't want excessive details.
With the HTC One, because the device has a slight curvature on the back and rounded edges, users can't properly align it using a corner. It must be aligned using either the HTC logo or the camera/flash cutout. The tolerance lies between those two areas (the HTC logo and the camera/flash). So, for example, say on device X the HTC logo was 0.2mm lower than on device Y. Not only would the camera/flash cutouts be off by 0.2mm, but the skin would be hanging off the bottom edge by 0.2mm. The solution here is to create cutouts which are ~0.45mm larger than they need to be, and an outer limit which is ~0.225mm shorter from each side. The result is a skin that looks like it was half-assed, when the reality of the situation is that HTC's manufacturing process is just not stringent enough. The alternative is to go out and buy 3 sample phones from each carrier (9 in total in North America, totaling 27 phones), and test to see which carriers have which versions of each device. We would then have a selection page during checkout for each carrier and supply skins separately for each. While is is the route our CEO wants to take, the design team feels that the sample size is not great enough to accurately gauge what is what. It'll just end up being a cluster**** of skins that are slightly off.

Does it affects the phone signal ?

2 things:
1) Phone signal. Both CF and AL are NOT RF transparent.
2) IR blaster. It's covered.

This in theory. I don't have the case. All I'm saying is, unless the people who designed this case are absolute genii, this case is either a) going to have signal issues or b) be made out of materials other than just CF and AL.

Just recieved mine today, the red with black back, im not keen as it makes the phone look quite big, reception wise i didnt keep it on long enough to fully tell, but it did knock a bar off my reception, also ir/power button is metal so ir blaster will not work with case on.

good thing you didn't buy it, it looks amazing the bad things are,
its incredibly bulky and very bad reception
i usually had 1-2 bars at home not good reception but something.
NOW i have completely no reception. I'm not using this case. it is completely horrible for me.
I even researched online where the antenna of the phone is and the whole back is an antenna, but because of the case all the antennas are touching each other.
Like this phone has the same issue as the iphone 4 (bad grip) signal issue. not complaining i love the phone more then any other phone out there. just with it had better reception or i had better reception at home

Looks fancy! Wait for review too.

The back cover look too shiny for me, but look forward to seeing your review on metal bumper.

I had some ebay bucks so I grabbed one I will post some pics when i get it and post a review.

DO NOT BUY THIS CASE! I just got mine and it just feels cheap, the "carbon fiber" backing is not good, but I would say the worst part is the chrome sides, if they just left it all one color and didn't have the "bling" studs on the case it would be much better. Also doesn't help as soon as I out it on just for kick my reception tanked. Stay far away, I'm glad I just spend some spare eBay bucks on it and not any money.

Thanks for that I was just about to buy one as well.

In addition to the signal issue and the IR blaster being covered, there may be a third problem -- the noise-cancellation microphone hole on the right upper corner of the back is covered by the case. This will very likely affect the clarity of voice, as the noise cancellation mechanism is impaired.

Otterbox?

Anyone heard news of otterbox for moto g?
Sent from my C6606 using xda app-developers app

On their homepage they list the defender ($49.95) and commuter ($34.95) series for the Moto G.

They're on sale from the official otterbox website and other ones, waiting for amazon but didn't check it yet.

Sorry for the late post, but through today Otterbox has a sale on their website for 20% off storewide with free Fedex smartpost and $5 2 day shipping. I bought 2 of the commuter series since I bought 2 Moto Gs and it came out to $65 2 day shipped with tax. Hopefully I'll have the cases before the phones. They seem a bit bulky from the pics, but until I receive both the phone and the case I guess there is no good way to tell for sure.

Got my defender. Top notch protection and quality .

case is a beauty...hopefully the meenova i ordered fits with the case

I find that the buttons are really hard to push down on the Commuter series.

Hrm. The Defender feels really nice.
That's too bad.

Can someone post some pics or video of the commuter series case for it? Can't seem to find any online other than the otterbox website pics.

Anybody bought the white otterbox? hoping to see some pics of it.

My commuter case should be arriving later this week (ordered the lilac/dark grey one); once I get it in, I can snap some pictures if someone else hasn't already done so.

Thanks man.
Edit. Still can't make up my mind on a colour. I like the white but I'm worried about it getting dirty

Just got mine today, and here are images of mine--hopefully these work (I can't post outside links yet).
The screen protector it comes with doesn't cover the entire screen--one side is rounded, while the other end is flat, and it will leave roughly 1cm exposed after it's been applied. You can see a faint border in the second image where the protector stops if applied from the bottom edge. If you don't mind a muted receiver/speaker, reapplying it from the top edge will make the protector reach .5cm below the display from that end.
edit: Fixed images by making them attachments instead.
edit2: Discovered the screen protector was muting the speaker quite a bit, so I had to flip it back to the top.
edit3: Removed lilac warning; my monitor's too blue, though the lilac appears to be fine when viewing OtterBox's site from my phone.

The lilac case is also much, much redder than advertised; had I known this, I would've gotten black. With color correction, this is how bright the lilac really is (for anyone interested):

cant see the pictures. Good thing i didn't order the Lilac. Just ordered the black one since that seemed the safest colour. White was my other colour but my hands get very dirty at work didn't make much sense.

The images should be viewable now--sorry for the trouble (had to wait five minutes before I could submit the edited post).
I originally wanted to get black, as lighter colors dirty too easily for me too, but I opted for some contrast based off the website colors.
As htcvividnoob mentioned, the side buttons are harder to push down with the case on; as this is my first OtterBox case, I don't know how this compares to the Defender series. I personally found this to be a perk because I don't have to worry about bumping the buttons by accident anymore.

Heh, I'm still looking forward to the images others post of their 'boxes.
I found out today that my monitor may be the problem--it's too blue; the lilac was showing up as a deeper violet on this screen, while on my phone the colors look about right. I didn't think to look at the website from other devices, ack.
