I have had my SIII in an otterbox for a while now and frequently my phone will overheat & get hot, has anyone had this problem with this case?

It gets hot while in my pocket sometimes. I just take it out and place it on the table and/or turn it off and back on.

Not at all. My wife and I each have these cases and have had no problems at all.

Its happened to me once, only after four straight hours of netflix. That would probably overheat any phone.

I haven't had that problem with mine. I've had mine for 3 months now and have taken my phone out a few times.

Yes and now when I first got the case I loved it. But it started to make my phone do weired things when I would leave my phone in it for more than like an hour it would over heat. The sides started to rip on it a little. And when I contacted the company about it they said yah they would fix the problem but they never have and I sold it on wish.

I did not have any problem like yours. My only problem was the case itself broke quick. Other than the plastic it was fine

Not that I have seen. Because of the bulk of this case I tend to only use it on long trips or road trips. Other wise I use a much smaller otterbox case.

Yes!!!!! It is a terrible problem. I'm on my third replacement and this last one, otterbox themselves said the rubber material was a better compound but that has proved false. The rubber lasts 6 months. And I am in no way rough with the case. My suggestion, get on the phone with otterbox and let them know the issue. Tomorrow I will be calling for my fourth replacement. Also, there is an issue with the external protective screen losing its adhesive power along the edges. I don't get it but its been an issue. Since this is my fourth replacement, they should be replacing it with the better, more expensive, rugged case. I had them notate it onto my account. I will say, otterbox has 5 STAR customer service.

I have this phone and I love it. However, it does get very hot all the time. It only cools down when it is in the locked mode. I don't really see this as an issue though, but it does bother me sometimes.

Not yet on commuter. And had about 4 weeks and all is good with my case.but did on my defender about two years ago. Call otter box and sent them a pic of it and they sent me a new case, so either way your good.

Great Question! The phone and case have become warm when the phone is in heavy use. When I notice this, I close all the apps I'm not using but are still running in the background. And this begins to cool it down. Personally, I also use this as a sign that I've been on my phone for a bit too long, so I set it down. The phone and case cool down quite quickly when I take these steps.

No, I haven't had any problems with otter case and I have had mine for several months.

Yes, i did have a problem when i broke my belt clip but otter box sent me a free one since it is lifetime warranty. The case itself is very durable and i have dropped my phone a ton but it has had no faults. I also sit with my b phone in my backpocket a lot and not a single problem

My phone would occasionally get too hot that I had to shut it down. It wasn't only with this battery though. I experience it with the regular battery as well. I think it's just a flaw with the phone.

I have had absolutely NO problems at all with my case, and I have had it several months. I have also had Seidio cases in the past and have been very happy with them, that is why I bought this one. I don't think you will be disappointed in it at all!

I have mine in between the case & the phone, but it gets hot while charging. I don't know if the heat can harm the performance of my phone.

I once had a similar problem with another otterbox product and emailed them with my complaint and a copy of my receipt from amazon. They quickly sent me a replacement. If I were you I'd email their customer service, or start with Amazon CS and just tell them the problem and request a solution. They should respond fairly quickly.

I have the black version of the case and I haven't have any problems with it or any of the people I call has say anything about it. I'll recommend you to contact the vender and see if they can help you with your problem. Sorry for not having another solution to your problem

No problems at all. Cover snaps to the back of the ipad out of the way! Best case I ever had!! Would not own an ipad without an otterbox!!
