Samsung Rugged Case is cheap and flimsy

[Blues Fan]

I purchased the Samsung Rugged cover and the OtterBox Symmetry clear from BestBuy.com and neither are rugged enough in my option and worth the price, I'll be returning them. Both feel like a minor step above a typical TPU case. I found a LifeProof Next case online and went to Sprint to check it out and it's definitely the thickest/most rugged clear case available that I've found. The LifeProof is ridiculously high at $79.99 but for a $1,100 phone maybe not.

I agree. The Lifeproof case in addition to being too expensive is just a tad bulky.

I usually prefer the Otterbox Defender or Generic one. That goes on ALL my phones. Currently I'm using an Armadilltek case I like a lot. Grippy and a bit less bulky than defender. It's a tough case too and wont wear out. I have the Unicorn Beetle Pro but it just feels cheap made compared to the Armadillo.

You know, you want a clear and heavily protective case. Well, you can find these on amazon. It's basically the Defender case except it's clear. I mean it's the exact same design as the Defender except it's a clear case. So it's a tad less bulky than the Lifeproof and identical to the Defender AND a ton cheaper too. These kind of cases range from $12-18 on Amazon usually.

I did a search on Amazon and couldnt find that case. That doesn't really look clear lol

Depends on the color. It's still too early still though. Probably a couple weeks they will be out. That case was from my suppliers website. I sell phone cases for a living. I will order one for myself when they get in stock. It says coming soon on my suppliers website. I get them for like $4 to $6 those generic defenders.

So I ordered the Samsung Rugged case and it just came with the phone.

Anyway, not impressed. Not nearly as good as the Note 9. Very thin and certainly not worth 40 bucks!
When I get home and play with my phone after work it will go straight into the Unicorn Beetle pro.

I agree, wasn't that impressed with the Samsung Note 9 Rugged case either. The best Rugged case Samsung put out was the one for the Note 8, that was my favorite case for my Note 8, I wish they would have stayed with that build and style.
