Well we really can't complain about this screen guard because its a water proof case. It won't be like SGP screen guards but I'm sure it still will be really usable. Plus I'm sure most people won't use it as an every day case lol
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Mikeyfitz14:
WOOOOOOT
[Galaxy S III Accessories] JawjaBill:
You must be new to these forums.:laugh:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] scarrmrcc:
welp, the draco was nice.. but this looks VERY useful, and honestly, i love the look of it.

i wonder if they will have it red?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Ravin_Dave:
WOW ! Cant wait to see a review of this one. I wanna !
[Galaxy S III Accessories] xXJay_RXx:
Nope I been here for a while. I don't see why people would complain about the screen guard on a waterproof case. Its not for every day use n its supposed to be a heavy duty screen guard to prevent water from getting in. I'd rather have a decent screen guard than a water damaged phone

---------- Post added at 02:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:59 AM ----------

I also like the look of it. I don't see it as been an every day case but something I'd really consider :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] JawjaBill:
Post was submitted jokingly, hence the laughing emoticon. ...but there will complaints.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tkbredx:
Seidio tells us about new products on android central forum but I was extremely surprised when I saw this product. A lot of us over there had been wanting a case like this and seidio answered. Can't wait to get this product
[Galaxy S III Accessories] smoothiex:
Holy math that looks good. Not only does it protect from drops, water and snow it also looks nice as well. I think once this comes out it will be my new main case. My UAG should arrive next week and will do until this bad boy gets out. Any eta's on it?

---------- Post added at 10:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:12 AM ----------

I sent them an email asking when the release date is. I'm pre-ordering one right away if they decide to do pre-orders.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] g2uzer:
Sweet! Great find! Thanks for sharing
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Jammol:
It's probably going to cost an arm and leg but I don't give a ****. That case is the bomb!!! I'm definitely getting it. And it's right on time for the snowboard season!!!!!!!OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!!!! I can now invent that Helmet Cam with Cellphone Idea that I've had for a while now!!!!:D:D:D:D:silly::silly::silly::silly::silly:

OMG I"M SO FLIPPING EXCITED FOR THIS CASE!!!!!!:crying::crying::crying:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] beppelupo:
I'm sorry to destroy your dreams but if you plan to use this on a motorbike under the rain i have to STOP you, since this is rated 1 meter (1.09 atm), we'll say it's very good and they underestimated it, it could probably go to 2 or 3 meters (1.3 atm) whereas a raindrop has a pressure that goes from 6-8. Cruising at 60mph under heavy rain? Not recommended :silly:

Sources: I DO NOT have a degree in physics, so if anyone condraticts me i'll be more then happy :laugh:

EDIT: sorry, didn't read about the "snowboard" part...i just assumed you were talking about a motorcycle and replied....then deleted the rest of your message because it's not nice to do a full post quote just under said post.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] blinkingLEDs:
That helmet cam idea has been done for the iPhone already.

On topic: Definitely getting this case.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] aweskelo:
Want.

If anyone finds out when the release date is please let us know.

Who is going to be the first person to post underwater pictures??? (hint: not me)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tkbredx:
October
[Galaxy S III Accessories] scooter1942:
taken in my drycase :p :D

also if you have a color request, seidio follows the case discussion thread on android forums and they might take requests if theres enough demand
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Jammol:
Yeah i saw the iphone one. Just going to be doing for me though. Maybe invent wasn't the correct word. My wife doesn't want to snowboard but she wants to see what its like when I do, as if it was her.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] VikingoRMCF:
Olive Drab
[Galaxy S III Accessories] scarrmrcc:
+1, would buy!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] DINLONG:
I'm thinking either navy blue or blaze orange would work. Real tree would be cool too though.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] 1SiK1500:
Makes my S3 look like an iphone?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jmwils3:
Garnet red, like their other cases, would be awesome. I'd sell my Otterbox Defender and buy it as soon as it released

Sent from my SGH-T999 using Xparent Red Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy S III Accessories] scarrmrcc:
the S3 looks exactly like an iphone... according to apple.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] finnmacool:
+1 on blaze orange!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Seghers:
PLEASE make a WHITE one or a very colourful one

WHITE
[Galaxy S III Accessories] 1SiK1500:
Agreed. But that Case in Black looks very Iphoney to me.. Thats the last thing i would ever do to my S3! :silly:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] babymatteo:
I wonder how much this thing will cost? Definitely in the $100 range imo.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] chrischoi:
$100 seems high. I think a little lower.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] scarrmrcc:
I can see $100+ being what will happen for the combo pack.

the top of the line iphone combo by them is 100, and the OBEX is better than their current top of the line.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] VikingoRMCF:
$70-$90
[Galaxy S III Accessories] xXJay_RXx:
I'm thinking about just getting my phone treated with Liquipel. I seen a video where it didn't work on some guys phone but I seen plenty of other videos where it does work. But idk if I'd still get it tho
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Five0nIt:
I think about $90 for the combo. $60 for the case, $30 for the holster.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] DINLONG:
Disclaimer: Liquipel applies a preventative coating designed to aid in the event of accidental liquid exposure, and assumes no responsibility for water damaged devices. Liquipel does not recommend your device ever come in contact with liquid.

Not even close to the same level of protection.

---------- Post added at 07:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:05 PM ----------

This seems about right, I was thinking 60-70 for the case and 20 for the holster.

I wonder if they will have a waterproof headset extension and waterproof earbuds to go with it, that would be cool.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] smoothiex:
It's going to come out some time in October, no official release date (see customer service email below). I don't know why you guys think the black looks iphoney.. I love the way the black looks personally.

"Good morning,

Thank you for contacting Seidioonline.com. We are pleased to hear that you are excited about our OBEX Case! At this time, we do not have an exact ETA but it should be ready in October! We have email notifications for the Samsung Galaxy SIII, would you like us to sign you up for them?

If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us at 832-204-1118.

Thank you,

Seidio Customer Service"
[Galaxy S III Accessories] cobija:
Looks amazing.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] xXJay_RXx:
I'm well aware you're not supposed to purposely put it in water. There's many videos online where its done n the phone looks fine. Its meant for accidents, not to go swimming in it. I also read a review by Engadget n the review says he's taken a shower with his phone in the shower listening to music plenty of times n it still worked.

Very last wall of texts explains how they tested it n worked. They don't advised you to do it but it still works:

---------- Post added at 05:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:02 AM ----------

I will still keep my eye on this because it does look good. I wish Life Proof would release a S3 version but I highly doubt it
[Galaxy S III Accessories] eatonjb:
I have one of thoes bags that you suck the air out.it's nice but not functional, but it does let me plug water proof headphones into it! I don't you can use headphones with this (while in water)

== Yea.. I tapped that!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] DINLONG:
Yeah headphones aren't exactly a requirement for me just a nice bonus if they can do it. I figure if they are able to have the cover for the port seal then why not have a cable that seals. The one for the lifeproof case actually screws in and has a seal, don't see any threads on the Seidio case though.

Time will tell!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] eatonjb:
yea, I want this case! I want headphones tho.. but I have seen a few BT wireless headphones, and if I can do that, I have a winner.. if I could get wireless charging and NFC to wokr all at the same time, I would be SOOOO HAPPY!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] waiters:
Liquipel (I think that's the name) will coat any electronic device to be waterproof... For like $50
[Galaxy S III Accessories] scarrmrcc:
NOT waterproof, and not for 50 bucks... perhaps you should go to their site and realize it is becomes water RESISTANT (splashes and quick dunks are ok, but any real immersion = death) and it STARTS at 60 bucks, plus shipping and handling.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tkbredx:
Yeah Liquipel will have you buying another phone full price after all that water.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] welshbloke70:
I'm so hoping this gets released in the UK as well. I suppose there's always international shipping if not.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] a1hildeb:
http://www.seidioonline.com/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-obex-case-black-p/cswssgs3-bk.htm

As said in another thread the MSRP came out at $79.95. Probably less once Amazon carries it.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] rlatjs17:
That pretty much shows why its better than coating your phone with Liquipel.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] nerys71:
the only problem with this is any capacitive function become "null" once your under water. so the power button the volume rocker and the home button will work but nothing else will. SO how would you "USE" it to take pictures or video? would have to somehow slave vol rocker to take pictures or something. maybe volume one way to "take" picture or video and the other vol direction to toggle between pictures and video?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] eatonjb:
tons of technical reasons why it wont work , the idea of this stuff is 1. so it wont get damaged when in the water, and 2. so you can use it right after you get out.

I have something like this, I set my music, and forget it. the thing I have has a button that atleast pauses the music if I want (someH2O headphones) from there, i have it set so the hard volume keys change the song, and if i am in camera mode, I can use the vol up to take pics.

but in all honesty , its a set it and forget it operation.

your only other option is to get a older button style phone or mp3 player.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] a1hildeb:
I have used others before for my evo and while the screen is difficult it can respond once the phone and case has time to acclimate (for membrane covers anyways) but you are right it isnt reliable and you can make certain buttons function for the camera. it works just fine and can be practical if you set it up right.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] scooter1942:
i use the 10 second timer when taking pictures underwater with my drycase. and just start/end recordings above water and crop them with the built in video player.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] pyrosin:
My volume button is already set as my hard camera shutter. Looking forward to trying that and a timed picture from the bottom of a beer pitcher.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] nerys71:
anyway to set the other vol button or the home button to toggle between video and picture?

I only need 3 buttons. 1 to turn it on (when underwater I can just disable the lock screen.

1 to take pictures or start stop video. and one to toggle between pictures and video. though I am never going to be very deep so I guess I can just shake the water off and use the screen above water.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] nitekillerz:
i think this case is coming out on the 31st of october. Theres an android event in new orleans and seido has a both there. so i would imagine it would be there
[Galaxy S III Accessories] eatonjb:
they need to make it so the headphone jack works.. otherwise im kinda stuck.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] scarrmrcc:
already shipping out the preorders (according to their facebook page)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] evhudsons:
I just ordered mine, so excited! I've had iphone for years, now have the gs3 and thanks to this forum site my world has changed forever! The only thing I regret somewhat was not being able to have the lifeproof case. Lifeproof gave very cold snobbish answers such as "not in this lifetime" for doing anything other than iphone stuff. Very dumb of them, and now I get to have the waterproof case AND custom roms! On their facebook page one person had requested they make one for his android as he thought it more practical for his active lifestyle around snow and water, and the lifeproof guy scoffed that anything would be more practical than an iphone. My wife has an iphone, so I got an iphone app to resemble one so she can use my phone. She's ten years younger than me but electronics wise she's an old lady, and very clumsy hence the need for a water and shock resistant case.

I'm so excited I can't wait, oh yeah, my prayers have been answered! One thing I noticed on researching cases, it's recommended that you test the actual case when you get it with a papertowel and no phone inside. That way if there is a defect (china sometimes does make them) you won't ruin your phone. If it stays dry it's safe to use with the phone, and if not the case should be under warranty, but not the phone.

I live in key west, and water is our life, being wet is a way of living, and beer sometimes gets spilled, caught in squalls, and falling drunk into pools with dozens of hot nearly nude women is par for the day.

Thanks for allowing me to be here on your forum. I've been over it quite a bit getting the best info on the planet, so thanks for that too! I soft bricked my phone being a dumba$$, and your threads bailed me out, and now I'm flashing some cool new stuff and am no longer waiting on jellybean as there will always be better custom roms out there. And now, I discovered the waterproof case due to your forum. Thanks again, and I'll be sure to resurface from time to time.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] josh33_unc:
i had a black lifeproof for my 4s, then got a red lifeproof

got rid of my iphone and now have a s3. just ordered the OBEX case earlier, and can't wait !

no, i mean underwater.. I have waterproof headphones, that i would like to use. ive been swimming with them right now, super nice, but if i cant use headphones in water, it does not help me :/ .. and they don't make waterproof bluetooth headphones yet.

---------- Post added at 10:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:02 AM ----------

I found this

http://www.lifeproof.com/?path=TopNav

with the combination of this

http://www.lifeproof.com/shop/accessories/audio/swimming-headphone-adapter

would do it.. but they need to come out with this stuff soon!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ChrisM0678:
This thing is awesome, imagine taking it in the pool and taking video of your kids playing and splashing, audio would probably suck but atleast you can capture the memories without fear of dropping or damaging your phone.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] shugga101:
I'm going out on a limb here, but I don't think BT will reach waterproof (well headphones that are submerged underwater) anytime soon because water slows down radio waves etc. I'm no physicist or anything but I don't think you'd get good signal in the water with BT or wireless headphones. Someone with more knowledge can intervene.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] eatonjb:
I already do , with this..

http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Overb...51099338&sr=8-6&keywords=waterproof+galaxy+s3

and a pair of H20 headphones.. works great.. just bulky.

---------- Post added at 01:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:23 PM ----------

I found this http://www.dinodirect.com/bluetooth...D&affid=3846&gclid=CP-W686VmrMCFcxAMgod7w4A2w

but I rather it just be one piece to eliminate wires.

there are some others out there.. but i dont know.. I got mixed reviews on some phillips ones.. they can be washed in water, so i am going to test them out. we'll see :/
[Galaxy S III Accessories] josh33_unc:
I did that with the iPhone 4s and the life proof in the swimming pool, shower, and beach ocean
[Galaxy S III Accessories] thacounty:
In KY with Alabama avatar and UNC in the name. Oh the blasphemy.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tkbredx:
Life proof is coming out with a case for the s3 now. And the obex is now available for purchase. Go figure
[Galaxy S III Accessories] omgi0wn:
What do you guys think? Get the Obex, or wait for the LifeProof? It looks like the Obex offers a little more protection since the LifeProof cases are so thin.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ChrisM0678:
At this point I'm thinking the OBEX just spec wise but It will be interesting to see once reviews start popping up.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] beda_boy:
I ordered the obex yesterday. I'll post my feedback once I get it. It might take a while coz Im overseas:)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] josh33_unc:
i got an email a few hours ago that the obex i ordered yesterday has been shipped :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ChrisM0678:
Sweet! Can't wait to try one out myself. Let me know what you guys think too once it comes in.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] josh33_unc:
both parents born and raised in alabama. raised up die hard worshipping crimson tide football fan. no other choice, uncle is a bama grad, cousin is a current student there. i just got back from the bama/tn game in knoxville on saturday. roll tide

when i moved to ky, all these people up here were die hard basketball, and i didnt have a team to cheer for, so my best friend up here in ky was a big UNC fan, and got me into liking them, so i pull for UNC if anybody in basketball...all these die hard blue fans pretty much shove uk basketball down your throat, and its sickening how obsessed they are over it, kinda like bama fans and our football...ha !
[Galaxy S III Accessories] thacounty:
LIKE UK BASKETBALL! LIKE IT! Hahaha. Yea we get that complaint all the time. Most of those people are fair weather fans. The real fans don't care if you like UK or not, we just like to win.

Back on topic - I like the OBEX, but I don't like the way it looks. I guess I'll try to wait it out for the Lifeproof, although, I need something by the 2nd week of Nov. that is waterproof and preferably isn't a ziploc.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] omgi0wn:
Do you guys think this case will hold up and still be waterproof after a couple months of usage? I'd assume you have to open the ports every time you need to charge it, and if you charge your phone once a day I'm wondering if the wear and tear will render the seal on the phone useless after a few months.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] used2hvatreo:
Honestly, I'm not sure we will know anything until people start receiving their orders, which would be after 10/25. However, I would say you could just test it every week or so (take the phone out and dunk it in water or something like that) and see how the seals hold.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] corey_r:
Lifeproof annouced they are making a case for the gs3 so that sounds like a better choice based on their rep
[Galaxy S III Accessories] omgi0wn:
Well Seidio has a pretty good rep too. The only thing I don't like about the LifeProof cases is that they are very thin. They offer protection against the elements, but they don't really offer drop protection.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] eatonjb:
and they have that headphone adapter plug.. thats the top for me! if I can get that, I'm golden!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] smoothiex:
I would like to see some more pictures of the lifeprooof. But I'll probably get the Obex for camping.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kingston73:
Not true, my wife has the 4s and the case is rated for a 6 ft drop. I'll be really interested to see how people like the obex screen. The potterbox screen on the defender is terrible, I couldn't deal with it for more then a few minutes before deciding to pop it put. The lifeproof screen is very nice and has zero image distortion but it isn't perfectly flush with the screen and that causes you to have to apply more pressure on the screen than usual. My wife doesn't mind and has gotten used to it but I can see how some people wouldn't like it. If seidio can make theirs have the otter box feel and lifeproof clarity they'll have a winner.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] corey_r:
The drop protection is pretty good on the lifeproof. I just dont like the screen protector (different case if its nüüd) and I dont like that you really cant take it off quickly

Liquipel Nano water protection

Saw the Liquipel demo dunking an Iphone 4s into water and was impressed, at the Las vegas CES show this year.. If you never heard of this, go to http://www.liquipel.com/ to get info on how this works. And I also looked inside another demo and the battery indicators were still white BTW :)

They only offer level II instead of the highest level III protection for the SGS3, but still, well worth the money, IMHO.

Combining this with a decent case such as the bodyglove (Body Glove DropSuit Rugged Case for Samsung Galaxy S3) and I think I will be a happy camper.

http://www.shopandroid.com/body-glove-dropsuit-rugged-case/4A54A11660A.htm Decent price from here.

Bought a different BodyGlove from TMobile and not happy with how well this will protect a drop. This one has a slide on the back to support standing the phone up in Landscape or portrait, and this was $30 :(

My SGS2 Bodyglove case was much better quality, IMHO too.

Anyways, I setup the turn around time and will send my phone in next week, most likely. Happy to have my SGS2 as a backup while waiting too, BTW....

Will report back findings. May even try creating a quick video demo of a test splash, although don't hold me to that :angel:

Didn't want to wait for the seidio plus seems this will be much better than a bulky case.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] thacounty:
Level II is not waterproof. This case is. This has been covered. Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] nitekillerz:
well that says for accidental events that happen to your phone meaning its not meant for long time exposure to water. The cool thing and seido and lifeproof cases is that you can use them under water up to 2 meters for a while and take cool pictures and do what ever you want. and also i hope the gs3 lifeproof case has the same feature as nuud. or the seido
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Mikeyfitz14:
So did anyone actually order up the Obex yet? I am fairly certain that I am going to pick one up, just waiting for my commission check to come in ($80 is kinda spicy for my base salary alone!). If anyone has, please let us know what you think. Mainly interested in the pocket-friendliness of the case, I plan to use it all the time but some cases (Otterbox and Kraken) can be a pain to get in and out of pockets.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] yhrn:
I've ordered it and gotten a delivery notice. Should get it on Monday and I will post my impressions then.
