I use my phone way to much around water, mud and oil and I do not want my phone getting messed up.
I know there are rumors of the Atlas case if incipio would ever get their head out of their ass.
Lifeproof created a moto g case, so keep an eye there. I have hope a moto x will follow.

You would trust a ziploc bag to hold a $450 phone?! Would that even be covered under the warranty? lol
I would be interested in a waterproof case as well though. Particularly one that came with a replacement guarantee.

I'm revisiting this just to share my experience. My phone was in its ram mount case and the boat capsized. After righting the boat, there was some fog inside the case but the phone was working fine. Within an hour it became too hot to touch and bricked. When i applied for a warranty claim i rolled the dice and said no water damage. Luckily, I got a new one for free from moto, no problems.
After that mishap, I started researching cases some more. I'm purchasing an Armor-X universal. Its rated IPX8 which means its certified to work underwater. I'll post again after I've tried it.

I thought the G and X were supposed to be water resistant anyways? Wasn't there videos of them being put in water for like 30 minutes and working just fine when they were taken out?

yup. drop them in water all you want. they will still work. camera lens can get water in it but that drys out eventually. (camera casing lens i mean)
I bought the Overboard case. It's far from perfect -- basically a hardened, buoyant Ziploc bag with a lanyard and carabiner -- but it does the job.

I cycle and like to chuck my phone in my jersey's pocket so I can log my rides with GPS.
The problem is that the pocket is in the lower back of the jersey (for those of you not familiar with cycling Jerseys) it can get pretty sweaty as its sheltered from the wind... especially in the summer.
So I need a good quality waterproof pouch to slip it into - any recommendations?

Well what you can do now is making money out of spare parts that are still intact.
Like someone here searches for some GSM cable. Someone needed some even smaller part. etc.
Just change the thread into "Selling spare parts out of my bent htc one x"

I'm not a physicist or an engineer but I'm guessing that a larger area + lighter materials + less depth + less reinforcement + edge-to-edge glass = tons more broken phones. The latter is causing SGS3's to drop like flies.

Someone asked about fragility of G Pro

Looking on it in near sight I've already noticed one thing. The glass doesn't cover full size of the phone but instead has .2mm spare space to the edges of phone. Also the glass in not surrounded by banking board. Also the glass has beveled edge, about 70° sharp.
So I presume that the glass would not crack even if the phone would be dropped from 6 feet height. Unless of course it would be dropped flat fall on screen
Another indirect proof of that is here. Watch Note 2 has cracked glass when G Pro doesn't have severe damages
If you think this device is drop proof you are delusional. I haven't watched the linked video nor do I need to. The front is glass and could crack from a 6" fall. Many things factor in here including luck.

Well, someone eventually will test it, people drop their phones here and there.
And also I'll attach here link to this topic Optimus G = UNBREAKABLE
Well no phones drop proof obviously but ive had 2 friends that had lg phones and ive had one myself and I can tell u theyre probably the some of the best built on the market. My connect was dropped, thrown, stepped on, kicked and all manner of torment and worked like the day I bought it till the day I traded it in on this. Ive seen lg phones survive multiple (so many I lost count) drops that would have sent a samsung or htc device to the scrap heap...

Exactly. My wife has a One X. She has dropped, thrown it onto a hard floor with force, and let's our 3 old play with it like it's his. It has a ton of scratches, but hasn't broken. Some were saying when it released that it was super fragile. I guess since hers has been abused it must be the toughest phone ever made. Right? No, she's been extremely lucky.

I'm assuming by patio you mean stone/brick/concrete/pavers, right? If that's the case, most phones wouldn't be too fond of an 18" drop.
Yeah, but I've had other phones hit asphalt from 4-5 feet high on the corner and survive with only nick in the bezel. My post is just a warning that this phone is definitely not "drop proof". I've only had the OGP for four days and already have to shell out $ for an insurance claim. Sad thin is my case I ordered is supposed to show up today.

I'm really surprised that I haven't seen anyone mention anything about this fantastic case!!
I've had one, maybe two, of these cases previously for other phones. It was a few years back, and don't really remember how I liked them. But, they have been selling them for years now, and for most major phones, so I figure they were doing well. I had been through page after page looking for a case that caught my eye. I never could really find anything that suited me, and was about to settle on the official Google (non-flip) case. Somehow, I came upon the Incipio website and found the dual pro. Went ahead and took the plunge on the blue/dark grey version.. I COULD'NT BE HAPPIER!!
Seriously, this has to be one of the best three cases out for this phone; and, in my opinion, it is the best one out. I also have the .13mm Mime glass screen protector; it fits like a charm and has no peeling issues. The "lip" of the inner silicone part of the case actually goes over the edges of the screen protector. Almost as to "protect" it from chipping/peeling.
Does anyone else have this case? If so, what do you think about it? I might can find a camera to put some pictures up if anyone is interested.
