My wife just got the S3 last week and I got her a commuter case because she thought the UAG case looked too manly. I have had my S3 for about 6 monthsand I just bought the UAG case for my phone.

Her case came in a few days before mine and I had to call Otterbox right away. After 4 different attempts I cannot get her volume + button to work. It has been a week and it still doesn't work...anyway Otterbox is sending a new one. Her phone is a White phone with a blue commuter case...it's really nice looking and the thing will take a beating(hopefully not) but she is a klutz some times. As mentioned it is very slippery and not as easy to take on and off like my UAG.

My case isn't as durable feeling like the commuter but that is fine by me because I think it will take the same beating if needed but I am not a klutz. The case is amazing looking compared to the boring design of the commuter(my opinion anyway). I love how the phone doesn't slide around when on a table thanks to the 4 tiny legs on the back...the phone doesn't slide around on the face either. The AUG is easy to take off and put back on...it's very secure once on. I love this case!!!

I play around with my wife and I keep showing her how my volume + button works...lol. Otterbox was wonderful though and I expect her replacement will work flawlessly.

Don't know what a UAG is, didn't come across it when I was shopping for a case. I do know what the OtterBox Commuter is. My father owns one for his iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4. And since I've seen the quality of it, I bought one for my GS3. I'm not even worried when I drop the phone. I use a cheap case for my iPhone 4S so the rare times that it meets the floor, I cringe. Just yesterday, I accidently knocked over my GS3 and it didn't bother me one bit. I knew how much abuse the OtterBox can take, it gave me that peace of mind. As for the looks. I think my phone looks fine, but obviously, you're the one that's going to be living with it, so my opinion on the aesthetics of it really don't matter to you.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] 1slow4G:
Uag all the way

Sent from my Galaxy S3 using neighbors wifi :P
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Liptus:
UAG hands down. I have a blue one and my lady has the pink one. We both came from defenders and we both also had commuters.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Dr.Luigi:
Seems like UAG is overal promising ^^

Maybe i buy a otterbox also, But then later on ^^

Thanks guys ^^
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Tesla77:
I've used Otterboxes for quite some time now on all my phone and fount them decent. However I work construction and my phone cases keep getting knocked around and end up being dirty messes. I saw a UAG one a few months ago now and bought the Outland, orange & black so its highly visible. I must say I'm a convert. UAG just has a better feel and makes the phone feel more protected then my Otterbox cases, even the defender.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] FiveOhFox:
I have both. The otterbox barely leaves the drawer anymore..
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Dr.Luigi:
Thanks guys ^^

I am guessing it will be the UAG first ^^

Then maybe a otterbox? perhaps? idk ^^

Maybe when i do stuff that it may get fallen easyer or something.

Again thanks ^^

Best regards,

DrLuigi.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mputtr:
why not drop by a bestbuy or something to try out the commuter to see what you prefer.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Dr.Luigi:
I am from Belgium,

We dont have most of these products even in this country haha :P

Maybe Otterbox, But not alot of them have it, let stand we can try em out :P

Thanks for the help ^^

Best regards,

DrLuigi.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] hydrotherion:
I'm from Belgium. Just order it through the UAG website but beware some have had customs fee added to the delivery. Got the blue and white one. Might sell the white one.:fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Dr.Luigi:
Already have it ordered,

Orange and Blue here for my Blue S3.

How much had you added?

Normaly when i order from China sites its like 10 euro for a package of 5 dollar lol :P

They are sometimes such money whores xD

Btw how long did it took for you to ship?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] hydrotherion:
Did you order two cases in one order? I order two UAG cases but i waited for one to arrive and then several weeks later ordered the blue one. Never had to pay the customs fee. Got lucky.

But someone else from Belgium who ordered one UAG case got a 25€ tax fee slapped on by customs. The maximum you can import from outside the Europe to Belgium is 22€. Anything over it and you will likely get charged.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Dr.Luigi:
Well all times i have bought from US it was like 80 euro and no customs,

Well i hope to be lucky again haha ^^

lets see what happens ^^
[Galaxy S III Accessories] hydrotherion:
Me too. It seems like it really depends who you get at the customs desk. The "@(hole or a lazy guy.:rolleyes:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ChoctawT:
Love my defender case, definitly something I'll recommend!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Dr.Luigi:
Thanks ^^

Well ye i might buy a defender/commuter later on,

Like if i going to do something wich is more likely to fall etc..

Anyways thanks everyone ^^

the items are dispatched now ^^

orange and blue ^^
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tsukot:
Yeah. I just received my black commuter and the buttons are very responsive. No problems at all :) but removing it is really a pain in the butt. Im still waiting for my curved crystal to ditch the SP that came with the OB commuter.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Dr.Luigi:
I have now 2 days that tracking code and still nothing news D:

Still Electronic Shipping Info Received,

I realy have no patience for this D: !
[Galaxy S III Accessories] erikive:
The otterbox is worth it just for the warranty. My replacement case shipped yesterday for standard wear and tear damages.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] monkeefied:
I have the UAG and have had otterboxes on the previous devices. The otterboxes always irritated me after a while because the rubber is really grippy and was a pain to get out of my pocket, and when I did it had all kinds of lint stuck to the rubber. Now this UAG case I have is THE best case I have ever rocked on any of my devices. I have sent multiple emails to them begging for a case for my nexus 7. The rubber on my UAG is not grippy at all but still soft enough to take some abuse. I have dropped my phone multiple times from standing height ( I'm 6'1") and a couple of times the phone has landed directly on the corner with no damage to the case or the phone. I have not handled any otterbox cases for the gs3 yet so I can't say if they have changed their rubber recipe so take my words with a grain of salt, but I can't say enough about my UAG case.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] bbabiuk:
Speaking as someone that has both the commuter and the UAG I have to say I prefer the UAG. It feels solid. The plastic isn't as cheap and scratchy feeling as the commuter. The uag is less bulky. The UAG offers enough protection for my needs.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Dr.Luigi:
Hey, wanted to ask what this means:

Depart USPS Sort Facility

February 21, 2013

LONG BEACH, CA 90809

International Letter

Processed through USPS Sort Facility

February 20, 2013, 6:08 pm

LONG BEACH, CA 90809

Electronic Shipping Info Received

February 19, 2013

I live in Belgium so i suppose if your from US you probably wont have the right answer.

If you do please tell me if you can what that should be? ^

does it mean its now on the airplane or? if not how long would it still take do you think? (Depart USPS Sort Facility)

thanks,

Best regards,

DrLuigi
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mputtr:
since it's international, you wont see any info until it arrives at your local package center. for the most part, you'll have to wait till it gets scanned at the next facility to see any updates.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] cookiemage:
I would recommend the UAG case. It's fairly thin. The back has a nice texture with smooth matte plastic. The ports are very well placed, as well as the buttons. The buttons are raised well, the volume keys are separated by a taper (very nice for pressing the buttons in your pocket). The power/sleep button is diagonally cut with a nice texture. All the buttons are easy to press. The back of the case has 4 little raised notches to prevent scratching of the back. All 4 corners of the case has raised rubber. I've actually dropped my s3 on the sidewalk, and the phone bounced a couple of times on the sides and scratches disappeared after a week. On the front, it has a contour that prevents peeling of your screen protector. It's a very solid feel. Not to mention it looks extremely cool :D
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Dr.Luigi:
What? :P

You mean untill its out of America it wont have any information anymore :P

For the most part all the info is from America only.

I was just curious how many phases it needs to go through till its on the plane due on experience i know when its on the plane it overal takes 3-4 days :P

Anyhow thanks for your comment and time ^^

Well kinda irritating they dont show more info like when it should go on the plane lol, Its like not even guessing since you dont know what they are talking about and how many phases it still has to go xD

Thanks for the pic and small review ^^

Is that the Blue version or the grey one?

i realy cant wait ^^

I am atm like so carefull with my S3 due i dont want any scratches haha :P

I hope to get 2-3 more years with it xD

Altho i doubt that sometime when you look how old/slower the S1 already is :P

Smartphones are realy going so fast atm, a bit to fast imo xD over a year there is another one that doubles yours xD

Best regards,

Drluigi
[Galaxy S III Accessories] geoldr:
I picked up the white UAG case and its the absolute best case I've used. I showed it to my friend and he bought one also. Really thin and makes the phone look great. And if you YouTube it there's a video of this guy dropping his S3 onto asphalt with the UAG and it was just fine.

Best 22 dollars I've spent for this phone.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mputtr:
what it means is that you won't get any more information until the facility that receives it scans it. so whenever your country's post office scans it, it won't really change.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Dr.Luigi:
Well its now in Los angeles, Sort facility,

Do you know when it probably takes a flight? Is there such a centre in Los Angeles or doesi t have to goto more facilitys
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mputtr:
no idea. since you're in Belgium, you'll just have to wait till it arrives... International mail is slow so you just have to sit and wait
[Galaxy S III Accessories] geoldr:
Yup. The square & flat feeling of the phone is really nice. And the case is very thin and doesn't add much.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Dr.Luigi:
https://tools.usps.com/go/POLocator...90009&locationType=po&zip4=9998&address=90045

Seems like one of there airports are in Los Angeles,

So probably my package wich is there now will be also shipped from there i hope? :P

Its atm still Processed through USPS Sort Facility in los angeles

If its gets dispatched will it have another notification or is that normaly the last respond ^ ?

Maybe those few from Germany/uk/europe in general can answer that if they had there Tracking still somewhere/remember it :P
[Galaxy S III Accessories] lvoonjian8888:
I had made a deep comparison to Otterbox Commuter vs Ballistic SG vs UAG. You can find the thread's link under my signature. You can ask me any question about the cases.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] falcons2:
I have both and really like them both but I have to go with the uag. It beats the commuter in looks and the stiff power button on the commuter can be annoying
[Galaxy S III Accessories] clninja:
I prefer the rounder shape and feel of my commuter. Love it

And my buttons are not stiff and offer great feedback.....
[Galaxy S III Accessories] AppzTheGawd:
Love my white commuter on white GS iii slimbwell put together loosens up after a week or to and doesn't upset your screen protector. Well protection for the everyday us vs being stopped at the airport do having a bomb (defender series/ ballistic) in your pocket lol.

Sent from my SGH-T999
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Dr.Luigi:
Well probably i am just going with UAG for now,

When i feel like i need more protection for some stuff i will buy the commuter or defender for sure ^^

But i guess UAG is good for normal drops :P

But gotta say, When you want something, and USPS is shipping it, its awfull to wait :(
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Dr.Luigi:
Does anyone know anything about the shipping?

It left USA 21/02

Still nothing here,

Previous time i had a package it was already here?

Maybe due its now from Los Angeles and previous time chicago?

Does anyone have experience about shipping? UK,DE,NL,BE, etc etc kinda europe should be aprox the same when talking about shipping time i guess,
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mputtr:
dude, relax.. it's been only a few days. it usually takes 2 weeks to send things international unless you pay alot of money to have it 3.-5 days
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Dr.Luigi:
Y i know,

but still its hard to wait for these cases haha ^^

Did also not come today :(

Argh, hate this waiting, every day when i come home i see like some clues that would say i have my package, but then its for someone else in this house haha :P

Anyhow. i just hate my S3 being naked xD

thanks for the time ^^
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mputtr:
you should get this app called package buddy

it asks you to put in the tracking number and you just define the carrier (sometimes it's automatic if the tracking # is unique) and then it notifies you if there are any changes + a map of its travels.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Dr.Luigi:
Same info as on usps tracking kinda,

http://puu.sh/29TSd

Well its now one week kinda,

Hopefuly i get it soon D:

I hope UAG will also do in the future the ability to choose UPS or just a better USPS shipping method,

I hate it when i dont have decent tracking :P its like gambling when it comes in,

Or if it maybe even lost in the mail somewhere, due no tracking its like impossible to retreat where its lost :/
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mputtr:
it would be nice to get more options, but you work with what you're offerred.

and the tracking info can only give as much as it is shown (scanned)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Dr.Luigi:
Hopefully tomorow ^^

Else i gonna start thinking it may be lost in the post,

Well idk if its ussual that it takes 3 days longer then usual packages from US,

But i think previous time it may have been faster due it was a package, and not as UAG sends with letters it may be slower due its a letter mhm..
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Dr.Luigi:
still nothing D: argh, Hate it when its unknown :P
[Galaxy S III Accessories] dbeckwit:
Just put on a Black Otterbox Commuter. While it's a bit bulkier than i'd like, I know it's super safe in this case
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Dr.Luigi:
like i said maybe i will, but that will be in the future,

So far i will just use these UAG cases, if they ever come atleast D:

If anyone from europe had a UAG case, and knows how long it took to ship please tell.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jsanta11:
Get my UAG tomorrow can't wait, love the style and look plus not so bulky 2 day shipping for free can't complain.. :)... Otterbox was to bulky for me
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Dr.Luigi:
How do you know you will get it tomorow?

Shipping only goes up to america?

Well i guess its due your pretty close to USA :P

Meh i cant wait realy, Almost 2 weeks now :(

Wednesday = 2 weeks :(

if anyone in europe reads these please say when you had it :P aprox ofc.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] CB620:
I just had a commuter on my note and while I like the look and feel of knowing I was fully protected with the otterbox I think I will be going with the UaG. I just like the design of it and you don't see too many people walking around with them.

I will be getting the slate/blue model.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Dr.Luigi:
Ye i kinda like the case for the Note 2,

Its not like the same style, but it is still very nice case, Sure when you do the orange microfiber between it.

Goodluck on the case bud ^^

You americans are so lucky XD such smaller shipping times hehe :P

Best regards,

DrLuigi
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jsanta11:
I live in new York got it within two days and loving it looks sick and feels good plus love the orange Color, going to order another one soon.. Idk mines shipped out of new York weird it said expected deliver March 12th but got it Saturday I placed the order Thursday night...

Sg3 4.2.2.....
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Dr.Luigi:
Got it today, Very happy with the case,

But WHAT THE ****,

The post asked 31 euro (45-50 dollars) for shipping taxs. for 2 cases. wtf, Thats why i hate to import stuff sometime its nothing, sometime ALOT they even opened the package and opened my case to look lol.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Pard0ned:
Did the same with me. Furious I was. Extortionate charges for nothing.

Great cases though.

How did they mark your packages? They marked mine as "other" which meant I got charged. If they had marked gift (as it was under £35 they could have done) I wouldn't have been charged anything. I then emailed them and they apologised and said it shouldn't have been and it won't happen again. Bought another case, and the exact thing happened again.

I was so annoyed. Completely their fault.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Dr.Luigi:
Well not realy since they just sell it i guess,

It isnt a gift so idk if they should mark it as that ^^

of course most other webshops do this tho. marking as gift.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Slomodrop:
I have dropped my s3 in UAG more times than I can count on hard surfaces like concrete or tile. It's never failed me, although I do have an OB defender for camping trips mostly for the screen protector and holster.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] dorianmayers:
Well I had the commuter for just about 5 months. It was still as all hell at first but after a while it loosened up but was still not perfect, so much so hat when I try to press a power button on a regular s3 with no otterbox I'm ready to give it a death grip lol (I almost dropped a guys phone like that trying to smash the power button like i would usually have to). After a while I started to notice some shredding on the volume rocker and then the other day this happened.

it seems to also be happening with the volume button

I had to order a case and i was ready to reorder the commuter but I decided I would look around first and found the UAG and at first was skeptical to order it but after seeing this video i am sold (skip to 0:56 for drop test)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hX8k99hk3Sw
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tsukot:
Could someone post a close up picture of their s3 with the uag on? Id like to see the front view because someone in this thread said that there was this feature in uag that keeps the screen protector from peeling. Sounds interesting.

Atm, i have commuter with sgp curved crystal pros:

Reaaaally tight fit, very snug tight

Seems to protect the s3 better than uag

No issue with my SPro

Cons:

Power button ya know ( it will build your finger muscles !)

Slippery when wet! XD
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Dr.Luigi:
I think it will depend on how large the screen protector is,

But i think since it has this lip to not damage your screen when doing it on a table, Also helps to not peel,

Since you wont glide your finger over the peel from your screen protector, and make it come loose.

But if your question was if the lip overlaps the screenprotector its a no for the one i am using.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tsukot:
what SP are you using?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Dr.Luigi:
I just bought one at the shop from my S3, A belkin crystal clear screen protector or something like that.

also heard glass protectors also fit in this case, aint sure tho ^^
[Galaxy S III Accessories] otterboxfan4l:
Yeah only problem with videos like this is they can be rigged examples after each drop there is a slight pause which means they stopped rolling thus they can switch out phones making it look like its the same phone.... I DO NOT TRUST AND I HOPE YOU ALL DONT TRUST these videos they are rigged

[Galaxy S III Accessories] Dr.Luigi:
Wanted to ask if the Seidio glass screen protector is useable with UAG?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Aria807:
I prefer UAG. It's not overly expensive (costs ~$20-23 on Amazon). Fair amount of protection on all sides. A flat drop of the phone, the screen never touches the ground. Good amount of shock absorb, and it's quite stylish. Hardware buttons on the side are fairly easy to press. Actually gives it a better feel when pressing.

I looked at a lot of otterbox cases and they are mostly overpriced.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Dr.Luigi:
bump ^
[Galaxy S III Accessories] rvicencio123:
I personally prefer the otterbox but the buttons can sometimes be hard to press. But i guess that's the price of protection.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] bryank930:
Does this ever get better with the otterbox? I'm seriously considering returning mine because the buttons are so damn hard to press.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Dr.Luigi:
Not realy no..
[Galaxy S III Accessories] willham:
It gets a little bit easier to press. You still have to press pretty hard just to power on the phone. Both my otterbox cases are collecting dust ever since I bought the UAG case!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] otterboxfan4l:
$18-$35 on amazon so not to much of a difference in price

I haven't had an Otterbox for my GS3 yet, but I do have the Rust colored UAG and I love it. Buttons are easy to press, it looks nice, feels pretty sturdy. Phone feels good in my hands, it is slippery without a case. I've had Otterbox and Ballistic for other phones in the past. They also are very nice.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Slomodrop:
I have a UAG which has been dropped more times on concrete than in that video including some face plants. But luckily my life is rigged with awesomeness.

I'm not a self described OB fan, although I do have an OB defender I keep for camping and such. It's not like I'm biased here.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] htcbrazilian:
I have the rust for 15 shipped only used for a week

really like the UAG

ive had pacman rom running for a couple months.. i just bought a 32gb sdcard and would like to swap storage ... just wondering what i should do in advance so my phone and appdata doesnt go all screwy.

ie copy android/data etc.

thx!
[Samsung Captivate Glide] yohan4ws:
Here's the orig vold.fstab

I've tried dev_mount <#####> /mnt/<#####> and changed it to sdcard and vice versa leaving the rest as is... every time I boot the rom it seems to crash at lock screen and cycle, homescreen lights stay on and every once in a while the lockscreen will flicker ...

Is this an issue because I am not booting clean?
