Best 1 piece case for daily battery swapper ?
I've never used a case on previous android or iphones, but this phone seems like an expensive accident waiting to happen.
Since I pop the back off once a day to swap batteries, I don't want a two piece (gel + hard) case, or one which is a pain to take on and off.
Any suggestions?
Any other case-owning battery swappers out there?
Thanks

Re: Best 1 piece case for daily battery swapper ?
Sorry, in my hast, I forgot to mention that:
I'm not concerned at all about scratching or scuffing of the phone.
I would like to get some protection from falls.
I would like some extra grip but I take it in & out of my pocket all day long so I don't want it soo grippy that it snags or tugs or is a hassle.
Hope this helps clarify,
Thanks,

Diztronic works well for this. It is easy on/off, and offers decent protection. I have dropped mine from waist high, several times and the phone has been undamaged, the case seemed to "deaden" the fall and absorb shock. I have been "battery swapping" instead of plugging in, for the past week or two, much preferred to trying to always keep my phone plugged in when I'm not using it.

I have 3 S3's in our family. To pay $10/month each ($30/month X 24 months) = $720 is too much.
I'm going to 'self-insure'.
If one happens to get destroyed, I could buy a Galaxy Nexus as a replacement for $400.
In 2 years, my S3 will be worth $100.
I feel lucky.
Of course, I'll feel more lucky if I get a case!

Re: Best 1 piece case for daily battery swapper ?
Based on the suggestion in this thread, I got the diztronic case.
My verdict: I LOVE IT!!!
(Mind you, I have absolutely no experience with cases. I've always gone naked with all my iphones & androids, but after nearly dropped my phone 3 time I figured it was a sign.
I had 2 concerns: I didn't want one too grippy so it was hard to take in & out of my pocket
This has the perfect balance of grip and slide.
I was also concerned about ease of taking it on & off when swapping batteries. NO PROBLEM.
TWO THUMBS UP!
(BTW, I ordered the body glove on sale for $4.99 so at least I'll have one other case to compare to.)
Thanks everyone!

Get the CPR Shield coverage from CPR Cell Phone Repair. I paid $30 for the year, if any accidental damage occurs, they fix it for a co-pay of $25.00!! No limit on how many times you can get it repaired. I went to the CPR in Orange County, California.
