Re: NEW Seidio OBEX Waterproof Case [Video Update]

I have always been a huge fan of Seidio products. Please provide us a release date.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Android Central Forums

We are happy to announce that the OBEX is available and now shipping from our online store!

Will the OBEX be available for other Android phones? Mainly the Motorola Razr Maxx??

There is a possibility that it could come for other Android phones, but there are no finalized plans at this time. I will forward your request to product development.

I'm starting to get the feeling this isn't going to be out in October :-(

Your feelings have led you astray! The OBEX for the Samsung Galaxy S3 is now shipping!

Re: NEW Seidio OBEX Waterproof Case [Video Update]

I just went to purchase the Obex and see that the combo package with the holster is still "coming soon". Any (more specific) idea when that will be available?

Also, I've been buying Seidio cases for years, and usually get a coupon code by email every now and then (got the Obex announcement today), but haven't seen one in a while. Any chance of getting one here (or sending one out to all your previously loyal customers)?

The OBEX Combo will be available for shipping in the coming weeks. There is another option if you want to get the case now and holster later. We will have a discount promotion for the holster that will make it just $10 ($20 off MSRP) like it would be in the combo pack. However, you would need to pay shipping for the case and holster separately if you wanted to go that route.

The headphone jack should work fine with normal sized headphone inputs. You will also be able to charge the phone without removing the case. The latch at the bottom opens up and there is a rubber stopper that you pull out to get to the charging port.

Any chance u could test if a regular sized right angle connector works, and and post a picture? That would be a deal breaker for me if I cannot use my headphones while it's in the case!

How does the screen protector feel? Does it distort the screen at all or does it still maintain good clarity?

The screen protector does not distort the screen and maintains the GS3's clarity. While it is a little thicker than our traditional screen protectors to ensure it is waterproof, it feels natural when using the screen.

Any chance u could test if a regular sized right angle connector works, and and post a picture? That would be a deal breaker for me if I cannot use my headphones while it's in the case!

You might need to purchase an adapter if you have a right angle jack. I also attached a picture of a normal jack plugged into the phone.

Seidio,

I must say that the customer service you guys and gals have shown throughout the years (back to my Treo 650 days) is the reason why I turn to you first for my accessory needs! I am just looking at your responses to some of our more demanding questions and its good to have this kind of access.

I might have to get one for those beach days in the spring, if I dont jump ship to the Galaxy Note 2 (hint hint, you can start making one for that which incorporates a protective flap to keep the SPen secure from elements and you will have my money again)!

$80 and Life Proof is coming out with a case around the same pricing. Only problem is you have to wait but I want to see a comparison between the two so I'll wait. Although I kind of want to try the obex. I'm sure they're both great cases. Proud of Seidio for actually listening to us and getting this out in a timely fashion. Which is why I'm leaning towards the Obex

If you send me your order number in a PM, then I can try and get you some more accurate tracking information.

Re: NEW Seidio OBEX Waterproof Case [Now Shipping!]

Received mine on Friday. Fit is good and very solid.

Have been disappointed with how hard I have to type to get a response on the phone. Swipes get interrupted as you are scrolling and pinch zooming.
Also, the bottom capacitive buttons for menu and return almost never respond.

I have tried reinstalling the phone in the case with no luck.
