asked this in the other thread before I saw this new one:

Nice.. but $80?

It's two pieces of plastic.

Does that include some sort of insurance if the two pieces of plastic fail?

Yeesh I just got my hybrid today ugh
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Mr. bird:
Two pieces of plastic and all the waterproof membranes. You're paying for the R&D as well as the quality nof a name brand. It's cheaper than the otterbox armor cases go for as well as lifeproof cases. If it's too much buy a cheap one from ebay and after you submerge it in water and your phone is garbage buy a more expensive case for your new phone. :)

If you have a couple of days to read this, here is my thoughts (LOL)...

Well, you are correct there is never a 100% guarantee, even if 99% of the units work great 1% might have problems. It reminds me of the S4 Active. The difference is that $90 for this case is a lot cheaper than taking the same gamble for a $600 phone. At least that is the way I look at it.

I'm just looking to use the case as a "what if" type of protection. Hopefully, it will be a lot better than that. I hope it will be good enough to take into the water and take pictures with or drop the phone from chest-pocket high and not have a scratch, but I'm not going to expect it to be that good until I test it to that point...slowly. The case's rating is better than the rating of the S4 Active, but that is only as good as the smallest defect might let it be.

I have square trade insurance, but I would rather not use it. I don't want to take the chance of getting a phone with MF3 as a replacement or even having to re-setup a phone that has MDL. To me, the $90 is worth the extra protection. So even if it doesn't stand up to the ideal standard, it will still be worth it for the extra protection is does give.

You see, I know the case I have on the phone now will not protect it as good as the OBEX will... I currently use the Seidio Surface and it is a real good case, but even if it only lives up to half of the hype the OBEX will protect it better.

Again, it will be a "wait and see" situation as to how good it will work. Maybe I won't throw it in the water right away, but it is nice to know if I accidentally drop it in the water that it should help.

One of the major things I want to know is how well it will handle heat displacement. Under normal conditions, my phone never gets real hot, but in my ibolt car cradle, charging with the sun hitting it through the windshield and using Navigation, it is a different story. I want to see how it handles those situations. So for me, inside forces are going to be more interesting than how it protects from outside forces. But, I will report what I find out.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] planoman:
I like the previous poster's thought process. I have a S4 with ATT and bought the S4 Active the third day it came out. I never used it outside of the house because there were no cases etc for it. After a week or so I started seeing reports of issues. Since I spent $640 on that phone, I thought I could do everything right with this phone and still have it get ruined by using it in a manner that they promote. I returned it after a week.

I then bought the Lifeproof case for my iphone 5 and it was amazing. I was taking pictures and video in the pool! My wife has a S3 and we bought her a Lifeproof case for our beach vacation. I was great having our phones (left my S4 at home) on the beach and the sand and in the water. Of course we tested the cases first underwater without the phones like they recommend.

I will seriously look at the Obex for the S4. The S3 model was too big and they say they have slimmed down the S4 model. $90 is great for the peace of mind near the pool or water which we are almost daily living in Dallas. Not sure I would leave it on all the time but surely on the weekends so hopefully it is fairly easy to put on and remove.

With the money from returning my s4 Active I got a S4 Google Play edition which is an amazing device! That is another post though...
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] joeybear23:
Thanks.

I have the ST warranty as well on my S4 and my wife's S4 Active. I do like the idea of being able to take pictures under water, but the biggest benefit for me would be the dust proofing. I can't stand the lint from jeans pockets mixing with skin oils and getting jammed in every nook and cranny on a phone. It is gross, and eventually eats away at the finish.

I do understand the fact that we would be paying for R&D, and I am no enemy of companies making a profit, but from the consumer side (at least from my point of view) $80 is a bit steep for a couple pieces of plastic that 'may' protect your phone under water.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Mr. bird:
It is a lot especially since I already payed a good amount for an Otterbox. But my daughter put a cup of juice on my night stand once while I was sleeping didnt know it was there and knocked it over on my droid 2 and it ruined it. I went 4wheeling with my s2 and sunk my quad with my phone in my pocket in a river and it was done for a week and then I was lucky enough it worked again but after a few months started having problems. So its worth it to me that I know if something haopens my phone will be ok. And its cheaper than paying for insurance and a deductible if my ohone got destroyed.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] joeybear23:
True.. however don't you also need the insurance in addition to this case if you live such an active lifestyle?

I am not knocking the need for the case. I just don't see the company selling all that many at that price tag. Surely they could easily cover R&D with quantity. There's maybe $5 in materials in it... purely from a business standpoint, for a more attractive price they can lure people away from the cheap knock-offs.

the case does look pretty solid, though. I doubt there will be many complaints about the quality.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] oohaylima:
I see your point brother, but I know I'm getting it after I see a third party stress test it before I pay for it.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] oxidant11:
I work for a cell company and the case we sell the most is the lifeproof and the Atlas (also $89.99 price tag) , and at least 50% of my s3/4 customers want that option, of course I live in a rural state so lots of hunters and outdoorsy types, but point is there is a demand for them, I want mine for the waterproof, me and friends regularly go to the river on days off.

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] ricktat:
I would like to see the Lifeproof Nuud for the S4.

In general the Obex for the S4 looks better than the one for the S3.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] zetachi:
I've got my S4 in the Seidio Surface and with the Convert for outdoors etc. Would love to get the OBEX for those water days, but being that summer is almost over and wont see much water here in NY except for rain and snow I'm having a hard time justifying another $90 for case and holster when I already have 2. All I'd be adding is waterproof. My Convert already protected me from a 6 ft drop to cement floor.

Also thinking for those that are planning this as weekend case, what effect adding and removing the case so many times will do to its waterproof capabilities.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Mr. bird:
I just got an email saying my case has been shipped. Hopefully it has actually been shipped and not just a label made up waiting to be shipped next week like they originally said. I would like to get it before Wednesday because I'm going to the shore for a few days. It would be nice to have it.

For $4 plus tax you can get over 40 water resistant cases from the Dollar General. They're made by Glad. :D
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] lat4rux:
I've always wondered, how waterproof does these case go? for example, 3 feet deep in the water? or that doesn't matter, and what if the water have soap in it such as when you're taking a bath and it accidently dropped into your bathroom with water+soap.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Mr. bird:
continuous submersion at 3 feet, 30 min at 6ft. Soap isn't gonna matter, it will just clean the case. http://www.seidioonline.com/samsung-galaxy-s4-obex-waterproof-case-black-p/cswssgs4-br.htm for more info

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Mr. bird:
I hate that I have a glass protector that I have to take off cause they say to remove any screen or body protectors. And now im gonna have to go back to plastic crap. And if I dont like the case for some reason I have to get a new glass protector cause this one will be junk..
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Stealyourface:
Thems the breaks. That's why I don't use cases like this. Despite really wanting to. Glass protectors are just too good to me. Only one I'd try is the lovemei case. Since it has a built in glass protector. But I don't think it's water resistant like this one. Only flaw.

Wondering if the ir blaster is visible for use on this case.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] RojoNinja:
Judging by what the page itself says,

"Case will not interfere with radio signals, Bluetooth, IR Blaster, or NFC (Near Field Communication)"

I'd say it would indeed be visible for use.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Mr. bird:
Can you track yours? Mine says this when I try to track.

Delivery status information is not available for your item via this web site. A return receipt after mailing may be available through your local Post Office.

I dont know if that means it hasn't actually shipped or maybe just delivery confirmation and there isn't tracking..

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] dmaynard83:
Interesting review. Looks positive so far.

Main things I'm interested in are if the screen is responsive, sound quality of both the mic and both speakers.

Looks like he says the screen is still responsive tho
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] scott14719:
Mine arrived today via USPS.

So far, I am VERY impressed.

I tested the case for water proof before I put the phone in it...2 minutes under water and not a drop got in.

I then put the phone in the case. I suggest that everyone takes a little time to make sure the phone is spotless before putting it in the case. I spent 5 minutes making sure all dust, fingerprints, and everything else is off the phone because it will show if it isn't. Don't forget about the camera lens. I have a regular screen protector on mine (not glass) and kept it on the phone. It doesn't seem to interfere with the case at all. Once the phone is in, just press all the way around the edge to seal it and clip the 2 clips shut (one on top one on bottom). They should make a snapping sound when closed.

The case adds slight bulk and weight, but that is to be expected. Overall, it is still very streamline.

The screen (even with the extra screen protector) is very responsive, the power and volume buttons work great.

The sound is fine. I made a few test calls and people hear me just fine and I hear them just fine. Music plays the same as it did without the OBEX. The first time I made a call, the ringing sounded a little distorted, however, once someone picks up the other phone everything sounds fine on both ends. It may have just been a certain tone causing some reverberation in the case. Of course i will test this more as it goes.

The phone holder / clip is well constructed. It has two locks. One lock to keep the phone in the holster and one lock to separate the belt clip from the holster.

It also shipped with an earphone adapter (waterproof) that helps out if you have a shallow or elbow style male phone plug. I have not tried it yet.

I have not put the phone / case in water while the phone is in it. I plan on using it more as a deterrent anyway. I will test it more and if I notice anything I will post my findings. So far, it's only been a couple of hours but it seems like a very nice case that does what it claims.

About the same thickness and just a millimeter or two wider.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] scott14719:
Yea, I posted this in my review but I do notice a slight distortion (very slight) from the phone ear speaker while in the case (the in-call speaker). You really have to try hard to hear it most of the time. The volume levels are just fine. And I find that when the phone is lines up to my face properly, the mic works great. Others have not complained about call quality as long as the phone is held correctly...and this is the situation with most cases. The phones external speaker works awesome, the buttons are good, and the screen is responsive. So, all in all, still good so far.

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Mr. bird:
I left my iloome (which is slim) on and it was kinda hard to close the case and seemed to be putting a good amount of pressure on the case. I dont want the pressure to cause a slight crack in the seam causing a leak. I miss the glass already

So case is awesome, wireless charging does not work even though it does fit in the case nothing happens when placed on the pad. Other than great case.

Posted from a Galaxy S4 it was.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] scott14719:
Yea, I posted something similar about this earlier. On my phone it is coming from the phone's ear (in call) speaker and not the external speaker. Is this the same with yours? In my case it isn't annoying, but noticeable at times. It doesn't seem to be getting any worse and if it stays the way it is i have no problem with it at all. I think it is from the case covering a very small portion of the ear speaker on the top right hand side of the speaker grill. The design had to be that way so the cut outs for the other things (proximity sensor, etc...) would be open. So, like I said, I am still very OK with it.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Phatdawg:
It's only delivery confirmation.

You sent yours through USPS. Like I did. I talked to customer service today about it. It's not a true tracking number just a delivery confirmation.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Mr. bird:
I here it a little during calls but it doesnt really bother me that much. Its not bad, I hear it on the speaker on the back too, its worse on certain tones, and not noticeable on other tones. Anyway im pretty happy with the case so far, it feels food in the hands, the screen protector is pretty decent, and it looks good imo.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SupaKid:
Whattup, fellow Phablet Users?

I have an idea I'd like to work on, concerning the Navbar in Touchwiz ROMs. If anyone has an insight they can lend, it's highly appreciated!

To see any of the things I'm mentioning here:

- Download any Root Explorer

- Navigate to System>Build.prop

- add 'qemu.hw.mainkeys=0' to the bottom of the Build.prop

- Reboot device!

- To remove the Navbar, just erase 'qemu.hw.mainkeys=0' from the Build.prop and reboot again

First off - Can buttons in the Dialer be resized? To be specific, when the Navbar is activated in a Touchwiz ROM, instead of flushing together--as in an AOSP ROM--the buttons in the Dialer are raised (also, the actionbar is revealed).

- For instance, when checking a voicemail, you'll see how the buttons overshoot the numeric keys. I'd like to shrink (flatten) the buttons a bit, so that when the Dialer is opened--and the navbar is active, the buttons will flush below the numeric keys.

Secondly, remaining on the Dialer/Contacts, the actionbar.

- It is only in the Call Logs that the actionbar poses a slight problem; it covers the 1st entry in the log. Now, is there a way to get the Call Log to sit nicely under the actionbar, just like shown in the Contacts? That's what I'm aiming for there.

Thirdly, the Camera. The Navbar covers part of the Camera buttons when active. Is there a way to raise the Camera UI to flush better with the Navbar (as in AOSP ROMs), or completely remove the Navbar when the Camera is active? For instance, at the Lockscreen, the Navbar is absent, even when activated.

These are my ideas! Again, if anyone has any insight on this, PLEASE SHARE!

Thanks, again!

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] cluelessme:
One MORE neat Trick, This will let you open your Storage Card (SD Card) and Storage (ROM STORAGE) and My Documents from Microsoft Voice Command.

If you have Resco File Explorer, its easy, just paste a shortcut for the folder or Storage card in \Windows\Start Menu\ and you are good to go. If you dont wanna buy Resco File Explorer for 24 dollars try this freeware method below. I have tried with another freeware File Explorer - GSFinder, but the same procedure which worked for Resco File Explorer did not work with GSFinder. So here it is........

For this you need to download this tiny 64 Kb file Launch_Storage.zip from here.

The zip file contains four files,

1.MortRunner-2.5.exe --- freeware

2.My Documents.mortrun

3.Storage Card.mortrun

4.Storage.mortrun

MortRunner is like a program which allows to create batch files for the Pocket PC. Yes, You guessed it right, the .mortrun files are batch files which are executed by MortRunner.exe.

What you have to do.........

Step 1:

Connect your JAM to Your PC via USB Cable, Start Activesync.

Step 2:

Run MortRunner-2.5.exe on your PC and when prompted, install it in the Storage of your JAM.

Then from your JAM,

START > PROGRAMS > FILE EXPLORER > MY DEVICE > STORAGE > MORT'S MORTRUNNER

....if you dont find it there then most probably it was installed in the Main Memory, in that case from your JAM,

START > PROGRAMS > FILE EXPLORER > MY DEVICE > PROGRAM FILES > MORT'S MORTRUNNER

Tap on the MortRunner file. A screen will pop up , Tap on OK.

This is done to enable MortRunner to add Registry Entries.

Step 3:

Copy all the rest of the .motrun files, that is, My Documents.mortrun, Storage Card.mortrun, Storage.mortrun from PC to Start Menu of your JAM.

Copy the files From your PC, then from your PC

ACTIVESYNC > EXPLORE > MY POCKET PC > WINDOWS > START MENU, right click > select paste.

STEP 4:

You can rename these files to suit your personalization, Then press the button to activate Microsoft Voice Command ( by default, the calendar button) and say START filename, in my case I didnt change the names of the files.....

.....so for me these commands work

START MY DOCUMENTS

START STORAGE

START STORAGE CARD
