First off let me say this, i suck at taking pics and reviewing an item. Had to get that out there lol. Also Sorry only have the gs3 camera at the moment. Will take pics with phone inside when I get a chance. First thing I did was remove the built in screen protector, Looked like the otterbox as far as clarity. Did not like it at all. But that was not an issue, just yanked it out, no biggie. Here are some shots of the every1 case from ballistic. Pretty good case, definitely different. I like it. Let me know what you think.

This one is nice. Holster included; might add it to the kit.

That case looks solid! And well built. For $30 you can't go wrong in protecting your device. However personally its way too bulky for me. When it comes to cases I try not to take from the original sleak design but saying that I don't work on a building site haha so I can see the desire ability of one of these. Have you got any shots of the case with the phone inside? (Just use a mirror? )

To be honest, it looks solid but feels kinda loose as far as the front face plate goes. Since the phone is held with the "springs" as they call it, the case does NOT touch the phone neither front or back, so has gap for better understanding. But dont get me wrong, its still well built and has a nice concept. Btw its slimmer than the otterbox and ballistic sg maxx just as a bulkiness guideline.
About the pics, ill take some on the weekend when I get back home from work. Looks great on my white gs3. So for now mental images for you all lol.
Sent from my Galaxy S3 using neighbors wifi
I just got mine in. I have been waiting for it since I first saw pics of it. I have the outer box defender and hated the bulkiness of the outer. My main problem was the raised edges from the glass. I get its to protect the screen from a face down drop but if you can't touch the edge of the screen easily what's the point. This case has a thinner edge and its slanted to be able to reach all the edges of the screen including the menu and back button.

I like it. Only 2 things i dislike is what i mentioned on my prevoius post, the front plate feels "loose" when holding the phone from the edges, but it wont fall apart. Its just the design of the case. Second is the back white glossy part scratches real easily. Im going to send it with a buddy of mine to get a white carbon fiber design and clear coat it, just on the back white section where the kick stand is. Not sure when ill have time to take it tho :-\

Same reason the company I work for uses tough books for laptops...
I have the Griffin survivor which is one of the biggest cases for this phone... the reason - I'm crawling in basements,damp crawspaces,attics, out in any and all weather, up on roofs and ladders. I prefer to protect my expensive phone from being dropped or scratched or get dirty in my line of work.
My phone has taken falls up to 15 feet so far, sat in a shallow puddle of water, gotten muddy, dusty, been in 130 degree Fahrenheit attics and 25 degree Fahrenheit weather.
If I take take to case off still looks brand new. Try that with a slim case or naked phone
Oh and I have a 20 month old little girl .... enough said.

Ballistic by far. I use the optional case at work and drop it down to the inside case for everything else. I love that the holster works either way.

How did you mess the screen protector up if you got finger prints on it you can wash it down with glass cleaner or water and put it back on put it on wet and use the your ID or a card to smooth out air bubbles. If you really messed it up id check out ebay man you can probably find a screen protector that work like a champ pre cut. Or go by a zagg screen protector it should work for you i find the bottom part cut out on the stock ballastic screen protector annoying cause everytime you press a key down there it kinda sticks lol tho i have gotten use to it.
I gotta throw a vote in for Seidio Innocase Surface II. Not bulky at all. Leaves all buttons very easy to push. Compatible with their kicka$$ Innocase Car kit (cradle style holder - NOT a cheesy universal fit one). Will it hold up to being dropped from a 3rd story window? Unlikely. Can you throw your phone through a wall with this one? Doubt it. But if you're doing stuff like that with your phone (such silliness that requires a Superman-esq force field) - you really need to rethink having a $500 phone.

I do alot of work in a shop and always leaning over a car and under cars plus anything outdoors mending fences and such kinda need the bulk too keep oil and grease and when your phone might get caught on something and yanked from your side its a good thing to have to keep your screen from getting the snot kicked outta it great for keep dust out. Ive seen the case your talking about there a good brand. Really depends on what you need and suit of taste. Ballistic case is rugged great for not in the office sort of jobs and lifestyle.

I agree. I have a screen protector on the front and I will be getting a vinyl skin soon to protect the back. I always thought cases personally made the phone look uglier.
I understand the purpose of it, since the phone is at least a 2yr commitment, but damn, I can't stop touching this phone again after taking the cover off. And I had a thin drizonic tpu case too....
Fack it, no case for you...thats y I have insurance right?
i've gone caseless and haven't looked back, now i have 2 useless TPU cases just laying around.
I like my phone like I like my wife. Naked. No case, except for my belt one and no screen protector.
The thing is cases will be effect on the future, I mean when u try to sell ur phone and get a good price. So I believe on the screen protector and cases. My phone on the way and already have the case and the screen protector ready
I've been going around without protection since I got it. It feels better and imo looks better. I don't even have a screen protector and I haven't suffered a single scratch (knock on wood). I haven't been overly careful with the phone either I keep it in my pocket allot I fall asleep with it and roll around all night and I leave the thing just about everywhere and it's dropped a few times onto hard surfaces.
Yea I agree with all the above except that all its takes is one fumble and your phone is toast....
I don't care much about scratches or looks. I want my GNEX to last. I've already dropped it once and can't image what would have happened without my otterbox.
I don't feel like treating my 700 gnex like a baby so I feel much better when using my case even if it is uglier and more bulky.
Test,
I knoowwww!! I took of my Gnex out of the case to clean it , and god this phone is soo slim and sexy. if Samsung could just use less plastic on their phones

I know what you mean. So sexy naked but I just can't afford to rock it that way. I have the incipio dual case and I love it. Very slim. The one thing I do not like about the case is all of the lint it contracts on a daily basis.

Hey believe me, I'd much rather use it without the case!
I just don't trust that it could take a fall from 3 feet without one.
The screen may not crack or break or even get scratched but the innards are my concern.
To me its like traveling with a Gibson Les Paul without a case...lol
Test,
Get a Ringke Slim Metallic case, it's the same color as the body and it's really subtle so you won't notice the phone has a case.
I do agree though that the phone is plain sexy naked, had a TPU for a bit but couldn't stand how it uglified this piece of art. The Ringke case is a good compromise (got a few minor scratches on the case - which would of been on the phone if not for the case).
Screw that the phone feels good but its damn slippery.
Yes every time I take my phone off my case it feels soooooo sexy and I always think about running nekkid but then the nicks and dings sets in my head hahahah

I got mine a few days ago and it's great. It doesn't make the phone to bulky at all and looks and feels great.
I convinced my brother to buy one after I dropped (test) it shoulder-high on the ceramic floor, twice. Still shiny new. The past reviews that I read were pushing me away from the commuter but I can honestly say it delivers protection and it's not that bulky. It doesn't pick up that much dust, and my phone is always in and out of my pocket. also, when you get the hang of it, you can put the case and remove it in 2 seconds. I don't know why people were hating on it. I don't use the extended batteries, gsm.
Has anyone crammed a VZW Gnex with the extended battery into the Commuter? Right now I'm just using a cheapo gel skin, but I'm in and out of the case a lot and it's starting to stretch.
Those cases make me cringe. Such beautiful phones being destroyed by cases.

Honestly Im a HUGE fan of rocking my phone naked..however I cant afford a new phone every time I drop it (and with my dropping skills it happens pretty often). Thats why i stick with the thinnest cases possible that still give good protection (sgp,diztronic,commuter,etc)

i had the commuter for my captivate and decided to try one for my gnex but returned it. it is one of the best fitting dual layer case that ive tried but i dont like how the outer hard shell is so slippery and the lines down it make it look cheap. the case was just as slippery as the naked gnex.
i bought the incipio silicrylic instead, it doesnt fit at tight as the commuter but is a bit thinner since the lip is not as high. the silicrylic feels so much better to hold with its rubber coating on the hard shell and exposed silicon on the sides and top. another downside is the incipio attracts more dirt than the commuter but its not as bad as some people say.
I had this case...pushing the buttons thru the case was a pain so I returned it! And pulling the battery is a true *****! In terms of protection, its great though! No doubt! I don't use a case anymore but I highly recommend if you're in the US to just go to ur local Verizon store and grab an incipio, fits better and pushing the buttons are easy! Plus they give u a stand too! Although I returned that also cuz this phone is too sexy and sleek to cover up, in my opinion of course!

I bought my GNex slightly used (1 month old), the previous owner had the Commuter one the GNex from day one, which was cool because I knew I was buying a used device that was most likely to be in mint condition... and it was. It has GREAT protection and IMO the corners having the interlining exposed was a great design because if/when you drop the phone, it's most likely to land on a corner first.
THAT said however... I'm currently NOT using it and decided to go with something slimmer ONLY because I've developed a habit of typing ONLY with Swype with ONE hand, it started when I had the Nexus ONE... and I got pretty good at it... The problem is... the GNex being bigger, Swyping with one hand is now more of an effort because I don't have big hands. WITH the Commuter case, it was simply more work... I'm keeping the Commuter for now, and would totally still be using it if it wasn't for the Swype thing.
Look at this guys.... It looks just like the ballistic case... I just might buy it!

I just got the yellow version of this case. It is nearly identical to the Ballistic case, but the Ballistic is made with a little thicker materials and seems to be a little better quality. Some might actually like this case better though because it adds a little less bulk but still provides a decent amount of protection. The fit seems to be perfect and all the buttons and cutouts are in exactly the right place.
One difference is that hard plastic goes over the power and volume buttons with a hole for the silicone layer to protrude through. I think this might help cut down on accidental button presses, but they are still easy to press. The plastic does not cover the button area on the Ballistic, only silicone.
Overall, it seems to be a great case and I would definitely recommend it. It's probably the best value out there for a rugged type case, and the fact that it's available in multiple colors is a plus too.

1. Making the phone "ugly" is a matter of opinion. Millions of people put cases on their phones either because they like the way they look or because they want to protect it from damage.
2. No case made of rubber or plastic is going to have any noticeable effect on signal strength. Some cases made of metal may have a slight effect, but probably not enough to decrease performance.

Well, this case paid for itself today. I dropped my phone while getting out of my work truck. I drive a commercial truck for work, so this was about an 8 foot drop onto an asphalt parking lot and it just bounced a couple times. This surely would have been a fatal drop without a case, but with this case my phone was completely unharmed. Didn't hurt the case at all either.

And it's look alikes. They're pretty good, but they block the proxy sensors, so your screen stays black during calls. If you have a work around to turn your screen on, then please let me know. LoL!!
If you don't, you'd be stuck on the phone until the other person hangs up, or you take the case off to allow the screen to turn on. It's a pretty cool case except that one major flaw.
So I'm browsing through the electronics section at Wal-Mart looking for a wireless mouse and I happen to stumble upon a new case for our phone. At first I'm thinking, "Oh, so now we have an Otterbox Defender!" Then I look at the box and it's a Body Glove!
I looked online for this case, but cannot even find it on the Body Glove website. I took a few pictures of it. It looks pretty good. It's a little bulky, but not too much. Very sturdy. The case is three parts - two for the inner hard plastic and one for the outer rubber-like shell. It's much easier to install than the Otterbox cases, but really feels just as protective - for less as well (paid less than $40). I said "Defender-like", so yes it comes with a holster - and it's almost identical to the Defender holsters.
Have any of you guys seen this case in any local stores? It feels like a pretty good one.
I haven't seen one in stores yet...because i have not been looking for one. I will see if i can find it...
What's the product number and can you post pictures of box it came in

That's cool...
OK, here are photos of the case this thread is talking about. Not much info on the case itself, and I threw the box away pretty quickly.
I took pictures of the box in the store. Its like $38. They show up fine in my gallery, so not sure why tapatalk is turning them sideways.

Apparently this is very new. Military tested specs, and it feels and looks much better than the Otterbox. I'm using a Thunderbolt for work with the Otterbox Defender. They look similar from a distance, but the look and feel in your hands is not even close. They also had one for the GS3. After several days of use, this has to be the best looking, best feeling, sleekest (relatively speaking, of course) heavy duty shock resistant case I've owned (and I've owned quite a few over the years).

Got this today and just luving it. Had the Body Glove Diamond white case before and it was a good quality but the Tough Suit case is perfect. Not too thick, built like a tank, this is the new batmobile from Christian Bale's Batman Trilogy if the other thin and slick cases are the stealthy slick batmobiles from the past xD
How are the buttons? Are they nice and tactile or stiff and mushy? That's what's bugging me about the D30 Impact case. The buttons are way too stiff and mushy (and before someone says I should hit the gym, I'm no chump. I can press them just fine, it's just annoying).
Just ordered one of these http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-OEM-Whi...727&pid=100015&prg=1006&rk=1&sd=290717667572& I think I'll review it once I get it.

I'm using this case as well and it fits perfectly and adds the exact amount of weight and size to it. Only thing was I got ripped off haha I think I paid 20 something for it and saw it on amazon for less than half of that. But I needed a case asap.

My co-worker has one of these on his black T989, he's happy with it, however I don't believe he's ever really dropped it so no drop-test experience with it. Oh, and those cases were also being sold at the T-Mobile store, for $29.95 label, no discount for clearing stock.

they look pretty beefy compared to mine and when i dropped mine it was fine the only thing that looks off in the pictures is that it doesnt look completely snug.

say whaaaaat?! hahaha! I didnt even notice :silly:
Got my Body Glove Diamond case a week ago and reviewed it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2004609
I also bought the black body glove case at Walmart and after 24 hours I'm loving it. The only gripe I had was the built in screen protector. I have zagg so I took a razor knife and cut it out. Couldn't ask for a better case.
I want one of these cases, but I can't find it anywhere.
Love my seidio active case and holster. Better than my old phones otterbox!
Just saying!
