Hey guys, quick question. I've had the aegis case for about 3 months and it's broken in 2 places. Do they have any kind of warranty that you know of?

Dropping it on the floor and dropping it on concrete is a different scenario. You wouldnt be saying that if it fell on the concrete.

I emailed them yesterday and now I'm just waiting for them to respond. I was nice as possible.. would it matter where I bought the case from? I didn't buy it from they're website...I bought it from amazon.

Thanks. They did ask me for a copy of my invoice. But how did you send them a copy of it? I copied the screen as a .txt and sent it. Hopefully that's enough.
Edit: Bingo! They're sending me a new case! Good thing I didn't buy a new one..but would've went with the Ballistic SG if I did.

They also have both OtterBox's in stock. The prices might make you sweat, but they have them.

The Defenders should hold me over until I get a tough case like Ballistic or Trident.

They do not have the kickstand cases. They have the 2 Otterbox cases, the car charger (obviously) and they also had the window mount.
Call me a retard but how do you pry the plastic case open? I put the phone in after getting it open somehow, now I noticed the screen is dirty and needs to be wiped. I cant open this beast.
Edit: Ok got it figured out. You have to pry open the tabs on the side to open it up. Now that its all situated, all i can say is this thing is a beast. Very happy especially since I got it for $40 using my USPS discount. =)
Have called the nearest Sprint stores around here and the Best Buy stores as well and all of them either have no idea when they are getting the Otterboxes OR they won't sell them to me until tomorrow (when I have to work ) - I NEED a case!

Just called my store, they are going to call me back. They said they do indeed have them, they just need to check and see if the sku's are all good to go and if they can sell them. Someone is pulling your leg because if it is a corporate store, they should have them on launch.
I just walked into my Sprint store, told them I was told they have the Otterbox cases for the Evo 3D, the guy said yes, went in the back, and brought one out for me. I think all stores have them and its a matter of speaking to the right person.
Well it was short lived. I got my EVO on lanch date and this after noon the unthinkable happened . I was showing my friend a picture and she fumbled the phone, droped on a concreteflor face down. We just looked at it for a couple of seconds in disbelief. I wjent to pick it up and it looked like this.

I dropped my 3vo on day 2 onto my concrete patio, it was about a 4 foot drop. Thankfully I had my hard rubberized case on it and not a scratch was made, not even to the case!
I've dropped mine, but luckily it was only a 2 ft drop or so and landed flat on it's back. I was pissed. First time I've dropped my phone in about 2 years, and it happens just a couple days after I get my 3D.
usually happens when we try to be the most careful

Ouch!!! Don't feel too bad. I dropped my launch day Evo 4G at work barely a week after having it & it looked just like that! Luckily your getting it replaced so quickly. Took me almost a month to get a replacement. They were sold out everywhere & Assurion couldn't keep them in stock. I did get a brand new one though, with all the accessories. Then 2 weeks before the 3D came out I dropped that one 4 floors down the elevator shaft at work. It's still there submerged in about a 1 1/2 ft of water & hydraulic oil. Lost phone, one of my 3500 Seidio batteries, extended case & my 32GB class 10. Talk about hurt! I still get tears thinking about it.

I have done my research on both the products, but one thing i didnt notice mentioned alot is if you drop the phone a lot. I tend to get bumped into a lot while holding my phone in my hand and i always end up with a spider cracked screen. happened on my palm pre, and evo shift a couple of times. but when i get this phone i want to get a good case but not mega bulky. if i was to have the commuter and i dropped it, would it be ok still or would the defender be a better choice?
but i heard the commuter has a crappy silicon part on the top, is that something to worry about?
plus i never usually buy cases for phones so this will be the first time buying a case for a phone.
sry for another otterbox post.
Ive had both. I broke two commuters before moving to a defender. Dropped, kicked, and thrown and not single scratch. Highly recommend
Sent from my Motorola Electrify using Tapatalk
I have a Commuter that I'm happy with, but I'm not prone to dropping.
The Commuter is a 'nicer' case that provides protection against average manhandling while the Defender is an indestructible brick and better for high-risk users.
ok thank you guys, that helps I did hear that a skydiver had the defender one day and drop it at he jumped out of the plain (not on purpous, was an accident), but when he landed he went to find his phone thanks to gps finder on it, landed on in a grassy patch only thing happened was spider cracked the screen but he could still make calls with it. i was impressed by the story i almost dont believe it lol.

But it hit real hard, and the phone was just fine. It collects lint and such from your pocket (Which really drives me crazy) but i bought it for protection. Not for fashion. And it does its job well!!

Glad you and your phone are ok. I just bought the Commuter the other day from Amazon, it should be here this week. I was looking at the thread about the bent phone and I looked at mine and noticed mine had a bit of a bend to it as well. I've been using a TPU case since I got the phone, I figured the Otterbox might add a bit of structural stability to keep it from getting worse. I loved the Commuter on my OG EVO but I never got one for my 3D because I didn't like the design of it. The LTE version looks good and I've seen a lot of good reviews on it so I'm going back to it.

Can't find any on mine. I've kept it in a Seidio ACTIVE case pretty much the whole time I had it. However. It has seen about 3 drops from 1-2 feet up. 2 of the drops were in the case, the last one was naked. Took a nasty fall while testing out my navigation mount suction cupped to my hardwood desk.
Note to all - the Samsung mount does not suction cup to hardwood desks.
Lmao, I would have never tried it on wood. Can you guys post a picture of the crack? I want to see what I should look for!
I don't have any cracks but my friends gs3 was kept in a case since day one and he got some. I'm thinking about getting a new back anyways with out all the Verizon garbage on it

Sent from fast Note2 via Premium XDA app.
No cracks on mine and I take my cover off on a daily basis to replace my battery; I never recharge my phone but swap batteries. It could be much, much worst because the door is the cheapest part to replace. Some of those carbon fiber and leather backs look much better than the Verizon branded stock ones. Funny part is that I have a spare NFC chip from the free flip cover Samsung sent me a few weeks ago.
It would be a different story if I heard or experienced a crack in the housing. Then I would be pissed.
