I broke my S3 again.. Need new case

[McPlot]

I broke my phone again. I dropped it and it landed on a corner. That was all she wrote for the screen. This is the 2nd time I have done this. Now, I am a cheap fish poop. I do not want to spend $50 on a case. Does anybody know of a good case that is around $20?

Also a like and thanks to anyone who can tell me what I meant by *fish poop*

Amazon.com: OtterBox Commuter Case for Samsung Galaxy S III - Retail Packaging - Glacier: Cell Phones & Accessories

for 10 more you can get the best protection

Amazon.com: OtterBox Defender Series for Samsung Galaxy S III - Retail Packaging - Reflection: Cell Phones & Accessories

So you'd rather break your phone than spend an extra $20 on a case? How do you even rationalize that?

I've got an OtterBox Commuter and an OtterBox Defender. They're actually both pretty close in size. Differences being that the Commuter is rubber wrapped in plastic, and the Defender is plastic wrapped in rubber with a built in screen protector (which if I were using the Defender I would quickly rip out).

The Defender is easier to grip, the Commuter can be a bit slippery at times.

I use the Commuter. I've added grip to the back and added a built in kickstand. I've dropped my phone a couple of times from 3'ish and my S3 has come out perfect every time, not a scratch ding or crack.

You being cheap is pretty expensive.

I have had the following...

Otterbox Commuter - Its just to damn hard to put on and take off. Over all POOR design. Read the reviews on Amazon.

Otterbox Defender - Great case but the screen protector is a major failure. I have 2 defender cases. One white and one in black. The black one I ripped the screen protector off and used a Zagg IS with it for a short while. While the white defender case remains in tacked and lightly used.

But if your interested I can cut you a deal on any of these cases. PM me if you want on of them.

However if you want the perfect case....Look no further than URBAN ARMOR GEAR
On Amazon you can get it shipped for around $30 I think. Anyways good luck finding the perfect case for you!

So you're a cheap bass turd?

 

[GrooveRite]

Acase in white or black is on sale now for $9.95!! Dual layer protection!! You can't be any cheaper than that!!

I have tried almost everything. At the moment I have a leather holster but I ordered the shell holster combo and the ringbo screen protectors. It was $11 for both of those shipped.

I'm a big fan of my Seidio ACTIVE case. Decent amount of protection, easy to put on and remove, fairly inexpensive. Similar to the Otterbox Commuter, but I think it's easier to use and easier to grip.

Seidio also makes an ACTIVE case with a built-in kickstand. (I can't review this item, I've never used it).

The OtterBox Commuter is probably a good choice and good overall protection, imo, without being as bulky as the OB Defender. I really didn't like the Defenders' built-in plastic screen protector on my last iPhone, and the Defender actually damaged the phone ? by it's hard plastic case interior ? causing deep scratches in the phones backside, which of course degraded the phones resale value.

I'm using this UAG Aviator case. It's the best case I've ever used, with the only negative? that it's a little slicker than I expected it to be, and it's in the $25.~$26. range.

A big thank you to everyone who made a suggestion.

Special thanks and a like goes out to Flossofer for figuring out my play on words. Fish poop = bass turd.

Special Thanks to cgardner and fr3gstogs3 for the Urban armor UAG suggestions. Those just look way cool.

To grooverite for being a cheap fish poop like me and finding a $10 case that is better then my current one.

And back to fr3gstosg3. A like to him for pure effort. While he did not figure out my play on words, he went out of his way trying. I always say "Why do it when you can over do it?" So I respect him for it.

As for breaking my phones, it is not expensive at all. I have the Best Buy insurance. No co-pay. I just go 3 days without a phone (or use my touch pro 2) while they send out the replacement. Way better then Ashureon (not sure how that is spelled) that most cell carriers use. $100-$150 co-pay and you can only ever get it replaces twice ever.. no thanks

My current case.looks awsome, but no drop protection. $3.95 on eBay including shipping from china. Cat sold separately

Here is the Ringbo screen protector pack: Amazon.com: Rearth Ultimate Clear Plus Samsung Galaxy S3 Rearth Ringbo Screen Protector for Sprint At&t T-Mobile Verizon US Cellular Unlocked i9300 3G GSM: Cell Phones & Accessories Generally the cheaper protectors are around that price range. I am kinda picky about screen protectors so for all I know I may send these back.

Here is the shell/holster: Amazon.com: Shell Holster Combo Case for Samsung Galaxy S3 with Kick-Stand -AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, US Cellular and Sprint: Cell Phones & Accessories This is quite possibly the best case for the S3 in my opinion. For the price and what you get that is.

Bass turd!? . . . Bass turd!?! . . . how in the world do you get 'bass turd' out of 'fish poop' !?!? The two words don't even have the same letters, except for the 's', for crying pooping out loud !!! lol

Of course my sincere thanks, McPlot, for your likes, thanks and honourable mention and all . . . but wow, really?
Looking back, I'm not sure I properly understood the contest rules. . . . I wonder, is there someplace I might file a challenge?

Basturd (bsss turd) as in the cuss word. A bass is a type of fish. A poop is also a turd

Oh! . . 'Basturd' . . okay, okay, I get it now. :-[
FWIW, it was not necessary to explain that: 'A bass is a type of fish.' & 'A poop is also a turd' . .
But thanks all the same, McPlot.

Btw, I think I saw the OtterBox Commuter, on Amazon, in the $16.~ $20. range, last time I checked.

Ok, my wife brow beat me into buying the otter box defender while we were at the mall.

I agree with a previous poster about the UAG Case
Amazon.com: Urban Armor Gear GLXS3-COMP-WHT-VP Composite Case with Impact Resistant Bumpers for Samsung Galaxy S III/S3 - White: Cell Phones & Accessories
Awesome case, I have the WHITE for my WHITE S3, VERY HAPPY with it....I've already dropped my phone with no issue!
I ordered mine Saturday nite and it was delivered Tuesday for FREE!
I can't elaborate enough how this case looks and performs! Did I say awesome???

 

[anon(94115)]

Sorry that one is kinda ugly...

 

[sfrrr]

I have a red and black variation that's gorgeous. True red, black black. My problem is that I can't get my very-tight case-mate shell off my phone so I can put this back on.

Any ideas about how to get the shell off without damaging either the phone or the shell? The shell is almost as beautiful as the red and black one, and I'd like to be able to switch between them.

Um, eh-um, excuse me, McPlot, but exactly what part of:
