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

I'll give Obex a chance to improve by the time LifeProof comes out. I'll make my decision then. Keep up the helpful feedback guys

Unfortunately, I don't believe that we have an UK retailers that have the OBEX in stock. However, we do ship to the UK from our online store.

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

I am a little upset. I was gifted this case by my brother and it is garbage. I wish my bro would have waited, but his impulsiveness bought this product right after it came out because he knew I was getting an S3 and I am always complaining how companies do not make their electronics waterproof and/or resistant. Well his heart was in the right place. I really do not understand why Seidio dropped the ball on this one. The products I have used and seen from Seidio have been of good quality. I have read the reviews and watched many videos, but nothing can get this case to work correctly. The previous video (posted on this thread) surprised me; his virtual buttons worked and his finger actually operated the screen. Did other countries get the working product and the US get all the rejects. I would understand this marketing ploy us; sell the masses junk and while everyone complains only a small portion will attempt a refund. Well I would like my brother to get a refund and then he can either wait for a lifeproof to get me or some other case, but the warranty is out of date (the fallback of buying gifts for others that companies are aware of and are taking full advantage of). If I knew he was getting me a case from Seidio I would have requested a different one based on the reviews I saw. Do not get me wrong, in my experience, Seidio has always had good quality merchandise at a reasonable price, but this Obex is BullHonky.

The only good use for Obex:
If I put a rock in it it would make a decent paperweight.

P.S.
I have read many complaints about the headphone jack... ever hear of a technology called of bluetooth?

Just bought the obex yesterday through bestbuy. I'll be returning it today. The sensitivity wasn't bad, but the voice quality was terrible. That issue definitely needs to be addressed if a revised version is being made. If not I'll be waiting for Lifeproof.

Sent from my S3-X

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

I bought one of these cases for the Samsung Galaxy S3 in December and it seems well made however the audio quality is atrocious with massive severe echo for both parties on calls. Opening the bottom of the case alleviates it some but I don't think i should need to open the case every time I'm on a call. I have sent an email to SEIDIO and they said to reinstall the phone in the case, this has already been done but it didn't fix the problem. They've said I can fill in a form for a replacement and they'll decide whether they will replace it, this will cost me more money since I'm in Australia and it has to go to the US, and there's no guarantee a replacement case will be any better.
Not real happy with the case due to this problem.
Has anyone had any echo problems using this phone in the OBEX case?

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

Way too expensive, bulky and poor voice quality. I will stick with my Otterbox and their INCREDIBLE customer service and warranty!

Re: NEW Seidio Product Line - OBEX Waterproof Case [Pricing Update]

I have been using this case for a while skiing at Mt. Baker which can be a wet place. I find however, that the reception of the phone is significantly affected by the case. Has anyone else experienced this?

Can the lifeproof headphone adapter work with the obex seeing that it's enables a waterproof barrier? If not does seidio have an adapter that can be used for headphones underwater?

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

I was wondering the same thing. Any info on a waterproof adapter for headphone jack?

Unfortunately, we do not have a waterproof audio adapter for the headphone port.

What about a detatchable wristband so I cant drop it to the bottom of the ocean when im filming me spear a fish here in maui. Also maybe get in touch with some tech guys and make an app that lets you start and stop video or take a snapshot using one of the pushbuttons

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

Nice looking case but I have read too many horror stories to put out that much coin. Oh well. The reviews on Amazon are more than enough to scare me off.

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

I ended up buying one, looks nicer here, no sensitivity issues at all, but the sound quality is atrocious. CS instructs putting it in and making sure that the speakers are all lined up, check... Doesn't help at all, ringer volume is too low, I can't hear the other person through the earpiece and I can't watch any videos because the speaker is muted. And the holster is cheaply made. Too much money to waste, I thought about removing the baffles but I shouldn't have to, and it would alter the case too much. I don't need it duck's butt water tight but it would ruin the case. On the return truck now.

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

Almost forgot the ear phone jack is so tight I can't plug in a patch cord and run it to the Aux in on a radio. It only goes so deep, sets off S Voice and doesn't have a good connection.??
