    Default 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
    Mike

    I love my iFace case. $5 bucks, variety of colors, strong support all around the case and rear. Lines up perfectly leaving no gaps around the phone.

    Easily removable for battery swapping.

    . I got one from eBay and ten business days to arrive.

    If you don't mind waiting 20 days and paying only $3.14 shipped, you can go here:

    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,
    Mike

    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!

    It slides in and out of a pocket easily, does not pick up lint or fuzz, looks good. Great value at $10, shipping included if you use Amazon Prime.

    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!

    Seidio innocase is a two piece case but I take it off twice a day with relative ease to switch out batteries. I have 3 batteries and 2 external chargers so my phone is never on a charger. And it adds minimal bulk to the phone.

    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.
