Still looking for good case options. Anyone found one? A previous poster had suggested this one: Rugged Dual Layer Impact-Absorbing Case With Built-In Kickstand for Verizon , Sprint , AT&T , T-Mobile , U.S. Cellular , MetroPCS Samsung Galaxy S III / SIII / S3 / S 3 / i9300 ** Includes Accessory Genie Capacitive Stylus! ** but did not specifically state if it was first-hand knowledge or if it was just a good guess. I need access to volume buttons, but not necessarily the power button. I need it to fit and do its protective job. If you have used that case on this phone, please tell me if this one will do what I need it to do. (Otherwise you probably aren't going to answer my question.) Thanks!

It does fit and does its protective job, but there is no access to the volume buttons. There is access to the power button, however. I am quite pleased with the quality and functionality and consider it a good value for the money.

The only case that comes close to fitting this phone is a Samsung galaxy S III. I bought the soft case an cut vent whole for the quad band phone its better than nothing.

I think its the best case available for the phone (given that b/c the screen goes all the way to the outside edge of the phone, there is no way to put a clear plastic snap on screen protector like traditional 3 layer cases.) This particular case is advertised as a 3 layer case, however it in fact is only two (a hard plastic outer shell and a soft rubber inner layer) the 3rd "screen protector" layer is non existent for this phone. Over time I do think the rubber will stretch out and be loose / flabby. I was kind of upset there was no screen protector in this case package.

I think this is the listing for the S3: S3 Case, Galaxy S3 - E LV Galaxy S3 Case Cover Hybrid Defender Armor Shock-Absorption for Samsung Galaxy S3 i9300 with 1 Screen Protector, 1 Black Stylus and E LV Microfiber Sticker Digital Cleaner - (Peacock Hot Pink) There are several close-up photos, so just make sure the pics of the camera and charging ports line up with your phone! Good luck!

There is one coming out for the s4. I have had Many Otter box combos because I need the holster as I do tech work. I have only had to buy two of these. The hinges are better on the holster. If that is not a factor, the case has a similar protection as the other. I would certainly consider it direct competition as I have enough of both to speak from. Of course, others may have a different experience, but I have two of this type and they are both still good. Search sg maxx s4.

For me, I didn't feel the need to get thicker cases as others have mentioned. If you are in rough environments, or are a bit of a klutz, those cases make sense. If you are fairly careful, you can use a smaller one. I chose Super Purple Hard Case Cover Premium Protector for LG Optimus F3 LS720 VM720 (by Virgin Mobile / Sprint) with Free Gift Reliable Accessory Pen . I've had similar cases on other Android phones, and they've done the job for me.

@ K.R. Marlo - Couldn't agree more. A little common sense would really help these designers. I know it's difficult to anticipate all of the different cases, thickness, etc but there is no way I'd ever buy this product if I have to take my iPhone out of it's case every time I use it or not have my iPhone in a case at all. Sigh...the search goes on.

Not sure! I was looking for a phone that was rugged and durable but was not ready to go backwards as much on the technology. I have since giving the phone away. Not sure of the other phones mentioned. It would take some research.

Mine was for the S4 and the case is dual layer. There is the black tpu rubber like case that goes on the phone then the harder outer shell. Mine was very quality. Feels excellent with a great fit. Doesn't come off easy but isn't difficult for me to take off. The buttons for mine aren't stiff but they feel secure and have stopped me from accidentally turning the power on many times which I was prone to do. So, I like the buttons. Mine was specifically made for the S4. You've probably noticed but on Amazon there is a box for picking which phone you have. My case also feels nice. The material seems quality. For the money I couldn't ask for better. I know everyone has different tastes but I was pleasantly surprised. Hope this helps!

We have had both, and the commuter as well. The armor case is bigger and bulky. We had it a week and ended up returning it because the clasp on the outside snapped in half, my son took the phone out frequently. It did prove to be water proof. The defender is smaller and has the plastic face plate. I wanted a little more protection than it offered and ended up taking off the faceplate and replacing it with a tempered glass protector. The only difference I see between the defender and the commuter is the faceplate and the rubber shield is opposite (one on the outside and one on the inside). Not sure I'd buy the armor again.

Hi - Could either of you please recommend what is a good buy for the iPhone 3G"S"? Am confused with all that's out there. I was about to buy this when I saw this thread. Thanking you in advance.

Its a great little case. Great for protection via accidental contact with objects and etc..However, the way they make these phones I doubt any case would really help if the phone were dropped onto a hard surface from any thing above 3 feet high. I felt this case was one of the better choices out there. Its attractive and practical. I did not like a few things about the S4 Mini so traded it out for the LG-G2. The G2 is a GREAT phone. Wish I could get a case for it like the one here.

I bought the Seidio Extended case with mine, Seidio DILEX Extended Case with Metal Kickstand for Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (Needs Seidio Innocell 4800mAh Extended Battery Installed) - Retail Packaging - Black and it fits perfectly, feels good, and has a kickstand which is a plus. And it doesn't add too much extra bulk to the phone. Im completely happy with my choice.

Hi! I have the tmobile s4 and this case fits perfect. Not too loose or too tight, all the plug ins and side buttons, as well as camera cut outs are perfect as well. Well worth the couple of bucks. It fits better then the expensive sparkly case I bought from tmobile store when I bought the phone! I got Seafoam, it's a pretty color, I recommend it &gt;^..^&lt;

hey, has anyone found a perfectly fitting case for this? I got it for my kid to play apps on and will be needing a case to protect it. I will take measurements when it arrives and search it that way, but if anybody knows of one and can link it, I'd really appreciate it!

Verizon shill. Do you think Verizon makes their accessories, or do you think maybe they outsource design and manufacturing? Verizon makes BANK selling accessories in their stores twenty bucks for a couple of pieces of plastic and a spring? I've had this holster for a couple months now, I guess. No problems yet. I've caught it on stuff accidentally and it hasn't broken. If you are a clod and abuse it deliberately, it's going to break. Plastic does that. But doesn't verizon get enough of your money already?
