I paid 55$for my defender case... :-(

How's the button action with the Active? I loved how the ActiveX felt with my Epic, but it had frustratingly-mushy "button feel" through the case. The power button wasn't *too* bad, but it was impossible to take a picture using the camera button with the case on (it required too much pressure to activate the button through the rubber nub, and the camera would shake).

I just got one, and will be starting another thread with my review & will take questions there!

I ordered the Surface model and holster from an Amazon vendor yesterday. Happy to share feedback when it arrives and will confirm if it does or does not fit the car dock.

EVO 3D Body Glove slim profile case

Anyone else have it? I just got once since I didn't like the bulkiness of my maximum protection otterbox and was wondering if it was worth the 3 dollars lol
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
Worth $30, no? Amazon or Google shopping should have for less.
I actually bought it and then promptly returned it at a sprint store cause I thought it was overpriced

Def worth it for $4! Sprint stores had it for $30. Great find!
Be careful taking it off though the top part of the phone is glues and I peeled a little bit off cause this case is so tight on the phone

Would you guys consider the bodyglove slimmer than the Amzer cases? http://www.amazon.com/Amzer-Luxe-Ar..._1_2?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1334277058&sr=1-2
I bought two cases
one for $3 from amazon
http://www.amazon.com/White-Rubberi..._11?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1334610692&sr=1-11
and the other one for $10 from Radioshack

I liked the latter one and am currently using it.
Don't buy the Body Glove slim profile case
Worst case I have ever purchased. The outside material feels nice but it is a very cheep casting. The edges are not smooth. when you hold the phone to your ear the edge of the case hurts your face and ear. It doesn't cover the top and bottom front edge. these edges will end up scratched up and the rest of the phone will be in good shape.
P.S. If you are willing to pay for the shipping you can have mine for free. My zip code is 93036. That's how much I don't like it.

I have one...
I did not remove the screen protector. Instead I removed my ZAGG IS. I like the built in one. However removing the plastic one is not hard at all. Its just glued in place.
Wasn't worried about the ease of removing so much as the feel...its kinda springy if u know what I mean ...its starting to annoy me some lol
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
I bought mine on Saturday but I am taking it back because of the built-in screen protector.
Not only does it not sit flush with the glass (which is why it's "springy") but it distorts the quality of the screen horribly.
Getting my money back and sticking with my Diztronic TPU
Wow I removed it because it was too springy and it feels way better with my ghost armor screen protector!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
I don't think Otterbox took into account the weirdly concaved screen. I agree with the feel of it, spongy. But i also don't like how the sides are squared off, as opposed to more rounded on the previous versions I've used on other devices. The accessory plugs are hard to open and close. If you take the silicon cover off, you notice there's no grab rail for the silicon in the corners. Its hard to lock into the holster. Feels unnatural when taking it out if the holster and I've used a defender for over a year previous.
I'm OK with all the feeling because I was using a commuter it seems much like the commuter to me...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
On every device I have ever had a defender series I just cut away the plastic shield it sucks one I do that I toss on my own screen protector and enjoy!
Sent from my SGH-I747M using xda premium
I just got my defender today.I like it feels fine had the commuter before this one the commuter does feel more rigid but I like not having to worry on screen. The holster does look odd will have time to test that tomorrow
Keep in mind that there are two different varieties of the defender floating around for the s3 it seems.

I bought from AT&T but now outs returnd the screen was grainy may be that's what was meant by springy... I bought back a commuter but don't want to deal with adhesive protector yet want to have a protected screen

Seidio vs Otterbox

If you had to choose between the Otterbox defender and the seidio active, what would you choose and why? I am looking for a toughish case and it is between these two. I have experience with Otterbox on my old iPhone but have never used seidio stuff before. Have at it.

I know this thread's about two other cases, but since this recommendation was tossed into the mix I want to share that I just today gave away one of these Ballistic cases. It was "okay", but not great. I didn't like that the hard plastic surround shell didn't wrap around the top and bottom at all, so when putting the phone into (or pulling it out of) my pocket the silicone would peel back. To each their own...
Try the BodyGlove
Check the Body Glove case, it gives a nice solid feel and good grip. I really like how it makes the buttons press, very smooth and solid clicks on the power and volume buttons.

DNA BodyGlove Dropsuit Case on sale!!!

Just a heads up. I discovered it, just browsing the threads. I saw bodyglove had a case. i searched it, and directly from their site, the case is only $6.25 with free shipping :good:. Here's the link. http://www.bodyglovemobile.com/catalog/htc-droid-dna,122.htm
I ordered 1, so I'll give my personal opinion after I receive it. I currently use the otterbox, but i hate the bulk. I figure for 6 bucks, I'll try it.
COUPON ODES STILL WORK THANKS NIMRODSV AND BIGJEW92. They have to be entered in all caps. BGMAF15 15% BGMPAY25 25%. You can only use 1. I just tried them both.
also, use coupon code BGMAF15 and get an extra 15% off so the total comes to $5.76 with free shipping! woohoo
Just got it today. I actually ordered it last Thursday. Feels nice on the phone. No bulk. I just hope it holds up to drops half as good as the otterbox. Now I need to order a screen protector. I forgot about it because the otterbox came with it. I like it so far.. Good job BG.

Its pretty smooth. Has rugged edges, it doesn't stick to my pocket like some rubbery cases. Its like a tpu case, except has more of a hard plastic case feel. I watched a couple YouTube videos on it before I ordered it. I like it so far. Hopefully I don't have to drop test it before I get my screen protector. Hope this answers your questions.

I've been meaning to get an Otterbox case as I have 3 for my iphones(love those Otterboxes). This looks like it may be cool to use in the meantime.
I've been using this case since I got my phone, and I have nothing but good things to say about it. Note that the rear notification light will be covered by the case, but the material is easy enough to drill a hole through.
Thanks for this! Everyone needs to see this! Just ordered mine last night!

Just got it in the mail today. Overall, I think its pretty nice. A great deal for the money. I like that Volume and Power still feel like buttons. I also like that the sound flows better when the phone is on it's back.
Just ordered! thanks for sharing this great deal!

I love mine, but the cutout for the headphone jack is terrible. Looking for something similar that will actually allow me use a pair of headphones/auxiliary cable.

Who wants to use the crappy stock headphones though, when there are hundreds and hundreds of MUCH better options available
I will say though, just use a nice bluetooth stereo headset and this issue becomes nonexistent!

Mine was like this also until I took the case off and broke in the power button a bit. Basically, with the case off, just press the power button on the case in really hard up to ten times to break in the rubber. The button was better after that, guess the "hinge" part of the button was too stiff.
My power button is great. Didn't have to do any of that.

I don't mind the stiff response from the power button, I've had some that pressed too easily and turned on/off in my pocket or accidentally wrote I was holding a phone.
I mostly leave the phone on and wake it with the home button or by pulling out the S pen.

Neither. They are both sourcing them from the same supplier that allows their clients to brand the product.

It's not stiff, it's mushy. Saying "it's harder to press" actually means it's harder to activate/trigger. The material squishes and tilts instead of pushing straight down into the original button making it require much more travel to activate reliably.
