Pick your Otterbox!

Description:

So we all know Otterbox has decided to release their line for the Samsung Galaxy SIII.

This means adequate protection for your phone even for the most paranoid users! The

Otterbox cases have been known to be designed with the best quality in mind. Today

a poll will be started for the Otterbox cases for people to list their favorite, why it is there

favorite and concerns they may have with the case. Information for the cases will be provided

below with an image of each case!

Case #1: The Commuter!

Built with your hectic life in mind, the Commuter Series Samsung Galaxy S3 case provides protection against

oopsies and accidents without being too bulky for your pocket or purse. The Commuter Series offers two layers

of protection for your highly connected lifestyle. The durable silicone inner layer snugly cushions and absorbs

the Galaxy S3 from impact while the polycarbonate outer layer provides solid impact protection without being too

big or bulky. Silicone plugs cover the main openings of the Galaxy S3, including the volume controls, power button,

headphone jack and charging port. The Galaxy S3 Commuter Series case maintains complete functionality of the

device so you can stay connected while being protected. It’s not just a case. It’s an OtterBox.

Case #2: The Defender!

The Defender Series Samsung Galaxy S3 case offers three layers of protection so you don’t have to fear the inevitable

oopsie or accident. The two-piece polycarbonate inner layer snaps together around the device to form a secure foundation.

The inner layer includes a built-in screen protector that prevents scratches while interior memory foam pads cradle the

device to provide added shock absorption. The outer layer is made up of rugged silicone that wraps around the inner

layer to absorb impact. The Defender Series comes with a ratcheting belt holster that can also double as a viewing stand.

Case #3: The Defender with Camo!

Sport your favorite camo pattern for your Samsung Galaxy S3 with our Defender Series Realtree case. With three layers of

rugged protection, you don’t have to worry about dropping it. The two-piece polycarbonate inner layer snaps around the device

to form a secure foundation. The inner layer includes a built-in screen protector that prevents scratches while memory foam

pads cradle the device to provide added shock absorption. The outer silicone layer wraps around the inner layer to complete

the case and also absorb impact. The Defender Series comes with a ratcheting belt-clip holster that can also double as a viewing stand.

no go

Bought the Commuter, returning it tomorrow, the side buttons are a nightmare to push! Put my phone back into the Speck candyapple case and the buttons are smooth as silk. This a deal breaker for me.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] cablebarn:
i hope the # 2 case is a little better because i have the #2 case in the mail i hope i dont have to return it:(
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ErebusRaze:
I have the Commuter. As cc999 said, the side lock button is a nightmare to press. You have to press it hard. No exaggeration. Thankfully the screen can be unlocked using the hardware home button. The volume buttons are hard but their not that bad. Funny thing is I had the Commuter on my Galaxy S2 and it was an amazing case. Used to drop the phone on purpose because I could, lol.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Sunsparc:
I had the Commuter and swapped it for a Trident Aegis. I got used to the Aegis with my Epic Touch, being able to actually feel the power button press.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SamsungVibrant:
Otterbox cases are really ugly, and they look big and bulky.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] IBNobody:
+1 (or is that -1?) from another dissatisfied Commuter. Incipio saved the day for me.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ericpd:
Yeah,... that Aegis on the Epic Touch is a nice match, I have to agree. The Aegis was the first and only case I put on the S2. After my struggles with Otterbox and the flappy-n-loose fit on the Evo 3D and the original Evo, I decided to do Trident. Not a big fan of the Aegis styling tho,... kinda reminds me of all the glass figures at my elderly aunts house if you know what I mean. Those uneven sides and not one corner looking like no other styling was a bit too much for me. I also noticed from the pics, that Aegis is now doing the same thing that I thought was not very smart on the part of Otterbox. They've decided to do away with outer shell support for the silicon inner layer on the top and bottom of the phone. I can almost predict that the silicon top-n-bottom will stretch and loose their fit after a few weeks,... just like it did with the Otterbox. I think Otterbox learned from that and on their S3 Commuter, designed the outer shell to give symmetrical support for the silicon inner layer on all four sides. What scares me now is all the not so good reports about how they thought out protection for the power button and volume rockers. If things are as bad as I'm reading, the Commuter that's on its way here will be returned. I have the Defender on S3 #1 now and it's a solid 'Go'. Hoping to dress S3 #2 in the Commuter.

---------- Post added at 08:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:52 PM ----------

Yeah, they are a little industrial looking. But that's a good look for me. They're not as bulky as they look once you get it on. Internet pics don't help either with that feeling,... nor does seeing the Defenders on all our friends iPhones and older phones. I've seen a couple Defenders on evo 3D's and man were they were massive. But looking at the Defender on a S3's is so different. Now if you wanna really see bulk, check out the Kraken or anything from Ballistic!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] JLine05:
This is why I will never get another Otterbox
[Galaxy S III Accessories] rosalesj:
I have the commuter but I'm looking for something else because of the buttons, so stiff. I mostly keep my phone in my pocket at work so I need something slim but durable. Any recos?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] DarkManX4lf:
I would go with a bulkier case. The phone has to look like a brick.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] GenericAsianGuy:
I got the Commuter (black) because I don't have any use for a holster :) Loving it. Only sticking point is I have to press the power/volume buttons pretty hard since it's basically a rubber knob overlay on top of the actual keys.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] coogrrr94:
I ordered the defender (glacier white) from J&R for$24.99, hasn't shipped yet.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] louiscyphere13:
Lmao,..the buttons were a little stiff at first, but there not hard at all after having it for a while,..my 4 year old doesn't even have any problems turning my phone on that's for sure,..im sure I'll get another case when more are available, but for now,I like the commuter
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ericpd:
LOL! I sorta agree with Louis. I just got my commuter from J&R and like the reports say, the buttons are kinda stiff. But after holding it in my hands, I'm thinking they'll loosen up a little over time too. Let's just say I hope they will! But the case itself is a definite Go!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Boss Daddy:
Just got my free Two Otterbox Defender cases from AT&T today. Case is awesome! Fits perfect and buttons are easy to press. No complaints here.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jmhpwdr:
Commuter with the Seidio Active holster. Nice solid combo so far.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] wildgamer100:
Had the defender for about a week now. Fits great and buttons are easy to press.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] g2uzer:
Just got mine today at AT&T, it was for 50 bucks but the guy gave me a 25 percent discount,, and yes buttons are really easy to press, I'm happy with mine as well
[Galaxy S III Accessories] amadib:
+1
[Galaxy S III Accessories] GenericAsianGuy:
Do I sense sarcasm? Haha ;)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] KeithSr:
camo

I have the black Defender and I love it... I can't wait until my Real Tree Camo comes in!

This is a great case for me, as I am in construction and need a very durable phone.

This makes a desk jockey's phone good for me as well.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] elementaldragon:
My main caveat with OtterBox cases is that the silicon they use seems to be one hell of a lint magnet.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] KeithSr:
I haven't noticed this, but I don't carry it in my pocket.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] KeithSr:
Oh man!

I just got my Realtree Camo from UPS.

Awesome case!

And the Exomount car mount holds it perfectly.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] 916Coolness:
Got the defender in atomic green and navy

And the white and gray they are both awesome haven't had one issue with touch sensitivity
[Galaxy S III Accessories] KeithSr:
Otterbox Defender Realtree Camo, just got it last night and I love it already!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] adracup:
How do I take a screen shot with TMobile Samsung galaxy s2? Before it was hooks home button then press power button, but this does not seem to work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] datrapstar:
Power+ volume down or power+ home button
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] adracup:
Still doesn't work. Maybe I am having an issue with my phone
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
Hold it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] adracup:
It brings up the recent apps before it can take a screen shot
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RTFOP:
That means you're holding down the home button first. You have to press power and then home and hold them both until it takes the screen shot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
its like a quick 1-2 hold. try the volume down and power button. You can try both ways power then vol or vice versa.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] datrapstar:
Thumb on vol- and index finger on power. Count to 3 and press both buttons at once hold until you hear the shutter go off. It will automatically save to your gallery
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] skyfolly:
thanks

Sent from my SGH-T989
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] adracup:
Thank you, volume down key and power button work, just had to hold it for a few seconds
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] datrapstar:
Glad I could help.
[LG Nitro HD] jjflores87:
To make long story short, ive tried so many different ways to root my LG-NITRO p930, using various methods i found on here but couldnt get it to go. Anyone here near Sacramento,CA area who would do it for some cash?.
[LG Nitro HD] Hutch89:
Doomlords rooting method was the only one that worked for me. It was far easier to use than all the other methods and it only took two times. I tried superoneclick over twenty times and got nowhere with it.
[LG Nitro HD] dnorthington:
Did you try twsparky?
[LG Nitro HD] Hutch89:
I may have when I initially started trying to root this thing but I don't remember. I found the method I mentioned previously and have been using it exclusively ever since.
[LG Nitro HD] AllstarE4:
I used DoomLord after superoneclick failed a couple times.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wtfmate913:
I am trying to use VLC on my netbook (which I use as an NAS for a 2TB media hard drive) to stream movies and TV shows from the NAS to N7. I plan to ask this over on the VLC forums but I was hoping someone around here might have some advice as well. The problem is that I can't get any videos to play streaming from the NAS to the N7.

I have VLC set to "Web Interface" on the computer and my N7 can view the server using the apps VLC Direct Pro and VLC Stream & Convert (I'm not even sure which one I need to use)

With VLC Direct Pro:

If I change the "target" setting to the VLC icon, I can successfully stream local video on the N7 to the screen on my computer. However, if I switch the target to my N7 and try to play a sample file which is local on the computer, all I get is a black screen with no audio but the counter on the file counts upwards as if the video is playing.

With VLC S&C Free

in player mode: "stream to phone (http)"

using the same sample mkv file which is about a minute long, the file shows a black screen as if the video should be playing but no video shows, however I do get audio about 30 seconds of the way through the video.

in player mode: "stream to phone (rstp)"

after about 15 seconds of playback on black screen as before, I get audio and video! However the size of the video only uses about 1/4 of my N7's screen with no way to expand it to fullscreen.

Does anyone have any suggestions or advice? I don't know if I should be using VLC Direct Pro or VLC S&C, it seems like they both have the same functionality. Also, I've tried using my netbook as well as a more powerful dual-core laptop thinking that it might help convert the video on the fly. Isn't there a way to have my N7's quad core do some/all of the work?
[Nexus 7 General] Guardsix:
If you pre-order from Sam's Club and then find/buy the Nexus 7 somewhere else, Sam's won't cancel your order!

Their "policy" is that you have one hour to cancel your order!

One hour is pretty ridiculous, if you ask me. I talked to a Sales Rep. who wouldn't do anything about my order but quote me their cancelation policy. I pre-ordered on 12 Jul with shipping to take place between 20 and 24 July. They probably don't have any in stock but they still won't cancel an order. They also put a hold on the funds with my bank!

Looks like I'll just have to refuse the delivery if they go that far!

Last time I'll ever order something through Sam's Club!
[Nexus 7 General] kingtz:
Still sounds much better than preordering from Google Play. No updates. No shipping confirmations. No cancellations other than perhaps refusing the delivery. So yeah, never again.
[Nexus 7 General] Jordanooo:
I preordered on the 28th and managed to cancel my order on the 10th july by sending an email request, then an order status request
[Nexus 7 General] Jooced:
This is no different than the Google Play policy.

I realized I accidently ordered the 8Gb model. Called 90 minutes afterwards and they said they couldn't cancel the order since it was over an hour. Even though I was on hold for at least 45 minutes.... I'd have to refuse shipping once it got to my house. So I have two of them coming tomorrow. One of them I have to send back then wait a few weeks for the money.
[Nexus 7 General] Clienterror:
Are they out of them now? I got mine Friday from Sams Club and they had like 14?
[Nexus 7 General] wiithepeng:
Ikr my Sams had 5
[Nexus 7 General] platinumandroid:
I purchased three from Google but decided to pick three up from Sam's club and one out of the three has all kinds of problem,The screen has yellow bleeding, Dead pixels,The left side of the glass is really loose & the screen flickers really bad but the other two devics are fine. If you decide to go the Sam's club route I would check it out well. Sam's club has a good exchange and return policy so at least that's good and a 1/3 chance you'll get a defective unit are decent odds
[Nexus 7 General] xopher.hunter:
Just picked up mine from sams club, no pre order or anything. Had to go through some hoops to get a one day pass however.
[Nexus 7 General] mi7chy:
Did you have to pay an additional 10% with the one-day non-membership?
[Nexus 7 General] xopher.hunter:
Nope. They didn't even know what a one day pass was lol til I showed them their own website. Got lucky I guess. I did have to pay a 6 dollar ewaste fee for some reason.

I paid 271.97 out the door for the 16gb

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] penfold:
as the title says, are the jelly bean ports any faster than stock GB on the S1 (with lagfix)?

there are thousands of posts saying they work great but none i can find that compare them to stock GB roms?

anyone?

is it worth switching?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
Why don't you try an ics Rom first?!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Galaid:
I know what u thinking. Latest stock gb roms are nice and have smooth browser, but cm9 is even better. I've tried JW7 after few months of using cm9 and quickly returned back ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coroner21:
I can just tell you from my experience, that at least ICS is incomparably faster than stock GB... Since JB should be even faster due to project Butter I imagine it would easily outperform GB
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] penfold:
why would i bother with an ICS rom when JB roms are almost fully working???

Thanks for the replies. My question is would JB be faster than stock GB roms even with the limited hardware (processor/ram)?

Obviously it would be a lot faster on the nexus but how does it perform on the S1?

My stock GB is working great now, except it takes ages to open apps etc, even with the lagfix.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlwaysDroid:
ICS was super fast and smooth. I thought it couldn't be better. Spread a little butter, and flash some jellybean and it is unbelievable. I can seriously compare the smoothness to that of an iphone, and we havent even made it into an alpha jellybean release yet. Expect good things!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
Why bother with any of it if you have an S3?;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlueFlame4:
Thought basically the same when I switched to JB today. Simply amazingly smooth and fast <3
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Galaid:
Yes, everything is faster except browser which lags a lot on heavy sites, cm9 is still better.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] penfold:
Thanks for the opinions, i will probably go ahead and flash then, cheers :good:

p.s.

can't use two phones? :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlwaysDroid:
It is weird though. My antutu benchmark scores are terribly low, around 2600 instead of 3700. Even though my phone feels faster.

Possibly cause antutu is geared towards ICS, but either way, don't be alarmed at the low scores!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamwsh:
Ok, so I know just enough to get myself into trouble. I've looked at multiple ROMs on this site and installed a couple different ones. I can't keep of track which one I installed most recently. Can someone please help me figure it out, if possible, from the attached screen shot?

I'd like to know which ROM it is and if there is a newer version of the same ROM that I could flash?

Please help!

Thanks!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NightHawk877:
You're running what is now Team Nyx ICS. Backup and wipe data before flashing. There is a new version out.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamwsh:
So, you're talking about the one located here:

http://team-nyx.com/index.php/releases

Right?

It would seem that there has only been one update since the ROM installed. Not sure I can tell if there are any useful updates in the newer ROM.

There are so many ROMs out there. How is anyone supposed to figure out which one is the best one?

Thanks for the reply!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:
Better take it easy then, lol...

Reported for movement to the Q&A Forum because this does not belong in Development...

:cool:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reinbeau:
Thread moved

Questions never belong in Development. Ever.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamwsh:
Sorry, thought since it was a question about a ROM and not stock stuff, it was more like a development question. Sorry about the wrong placement, but please know that I did consider my placement, just got it wrong..

Thanks for keeping things organized!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] patt2k:
Hey guys at the end of the month me and my friends are going to poconos for few days and I was wondering if anyone living at least close to there tell me how is their service? moslty I care about internet speeds if anyone could provide a speed test.

Even if it's 3G as long as it's stable when we go there the olympics start so I assume I will use at least 4-5 gigs of data , 4G would be a dream come true in that matter.

Thanks!

Note: Last year I was there with AT&T had Galaxy S2 and max I could get was 1 bar (with speeds around 1 mbps)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cilraaz:
I stayed at a Pocono resort with my wife in April. I didn't have my Nexus at the time, but my Charge pulled decent 3G coverage. The resort was Cove Haven, which is a fairly rural resort, also. It's technically in Lakeville, though, so I'm not sure if that's close enough for your purposes.

Sorry that the information isn't current and that I can't provide more details. The connection was definitely solid, though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lowandbehold:
Hello from the Poconos! I don't have Verizon but my friends and family have it. Consistent 3G and 4G speeds all around the poconos. Scranton and Wilkes-Barre are will see good LTE speeds. Where exactly will you be?

Just for a reference...my buddy was camping and was able to stream the NBA finals perfectly...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] patt2k:
Sup! I think to be exact it's Albrightsville the Indian Mountain Creek,

I hope there is at least 2 mbps on 3G :)
