Today my boyfriend, dad, and I were all trying to save a two day old kitten who was stuck in vinyl siding. Of course, this was a stressful (and very long) ordeal, so I wasn't really paying attention to where I left my phone. During a break from the rescue, my boyfriend found my phone on the ground and said "uh oh." Turns out I had left it on a bar chair outside and this awful bloodhound/shepherd mix drop off made a point to get it and try to chew it to death.
Luckily, I didn't buy a crappy case, and my Inspire 4G is still fully functional and has a few small chew marks and the casing on the bottom bent a little. My Otterbox didn't make it out as great, but it did it's job, and did it well! This dog chews up basketballs and armadillos no problem, so it's a true testament to the quality of this case.
Here are the pictures.

And in case you were wondering about that newborn kitten, it's the topmost one in this picture.

I like mine too, it seems thin but functions very well.
Hmmm I may need to get an otterbox after seeing this. I've had my phone for a year and a half with just a silicone case and no screen protector.
wow i was considering getting this case. this is my next.

Hey guys, I really need help because I have no idea what to do right now.
A chunk of the microusb slot chipped off and now my phone looks really bad :O
Is there any case that covers this up (ie those $1-2 silicone cases on eBay)? Or is there anywhere I can buy a cheap replacement housing set to fix it?
Here's a picture...

Well, when I bought the phone off my sister, there used to be a crack around that area, so I just ignored it. Today, I took it out of its leather pouch and found that the part was missing
Anyways, thanks for the help. this'll do the trick right?

Yup, just like mine. They can be a pain when pulling it out of your pocket (sticky/rubbery) but I dont put my phone in my pocket.

Awesome. I purchase a blue silicone one for $2.30 off eBay. I hope it'll cover it up because right now if feels like I have OCD (I was thinking that I should sell my captivate on craigslist just because of this little chipped off piece of plastic lol).
Thanks for you help

Available for the 10.1 only so far and hearing the rumours that 8.9 is being discontinued I am not holding my breath big frown...tears almost.
I have a business idea that is revolving around the use of this tablet outdoors for mapping and utilising the 4G network.
I mean what gives? In Australia they don't even offer any other size in the 4G tablet? Its 8.9 or nothing. Surely they would make more accessories give that....ohhh but no!!!
If anyone can source me one of these tough cases I will donate! Promise! I am deadly serious now
This is about as close as I can buy AFAIK?

That is very nice for the money. Gives pretty good protection but the tab stays slim.
It looks exactly like the one I bought from amazon. Good little case, made of hard rubber, but still keeps the tab thin and light. I also have a leather portfolio cover, which is nice cause i can type easily in landscape, but the linked cover is amazing for reading books, as there is no flap in the way while reading.
i have a vipertek one i got from amazon for 20$. good quality. not a tough case but it gets the job done.

I just got one of these and its... okay.
In trying to keep it slimline, the 'long' edge has minimal overlap on the screen with the result that, in portrait mode, the case folds back where your hands are in contact with it.
Its better than nothing but not exactly what I would call rugged.
So I had just gotten the slim armor case today (dodger blue). My first thoughts when I opened the package was "wow is blue, really nice blue". The overall feel is absolutely amazing. I haven't ever held a phone with a case with so much comfort. Its lightweight and seems to offer a great deal amount of protection with the least amount of bulk. Also they are nice enough to add free home button colors to go with it black, orange, and white.
The look of it is outstanding. every hole was cut out with perfection and not rough edges or color misplacement. The buttons are,as others said, a bit tough to press, but not discouraging as they are comfortable and wont allow for the "accidental" presses.
The one downside that I have noticed is when taking it off and putting it on that sometimes the lips catch and you have to pull on the little rubber to get it flush. But that is the only current issue I have.
I know the review is small right now but I just got it and have only used it for 4 hours so more will be reviewed when I use it more.

The major problem is that I have anker batteries that are a tiny bit thicker but the blue shell pushes out a little when I have them in :/

The case finally came in the mail today and I have to say that this thing is just about as water "resistant" as it gets without being waterproof. It certainly has an over engineered construction and that's definitely why I bought it. The ports are covered with channeled rubber inserts as is the perimeter of the outer rubber shell. The microphones and speaker appear to be covered with what I can only call a "paper like" membrane. I'm assuming this guards against minimal water contact yet maintains function. The Ir blaster is shielded by a clear plastic port. I can't attest to functionality as I don't use it. I doubt you'll be changing channels in the rain though. All in all, for max protection I'd definitely use this thing. I own the defender as well and this case seems better suited for extreme conditions.

Looks like a good alternative to the otterbox defender.
Only in the sense that it covers the front and back. This looks more protective and the honestly like more thought has gone into engineering it. Defender cases have been ****ty for a while now, commuters will do everything the defender does without a belt clip.
Interesting case, I was planning to buy a Defender today but then I saw this review. Strongly considering this case to take my S4 mountain biking.

This looks like the rip off version of it on ebay.
My family will vacation in Hawaii next month, need a good waterproof case for my new GS6, I wish I can take pics while surfing, diving, swimming, so if you have any good waterproof case, please tell me the price and link, thanks for sharing, bros.
have a try
Recently, I recieved a WATERPROOF CASE from ebay. I would like to share some experince to you!
I bought this case for use with an S6 (regular) in a humid and likely to get wet environment. It has enough room to hold the phone with a protective case and some cash and credit cards. I took it snorkeling, fully submerged it, and it took excellent photos and video. You can operate the camera mode within the case. I never got the slightest bit of moisture inside the case and I used it on several occasions. The strap works great because you can hang it around your neck like a lanyard or entwine it around your wrist several times.
Here is the item#: 121634220255
I have one for a while. it does work well under the water, You can take pics and watch movies under water.Here I post a pic for your reference.

I bought a Gelert waterproof case for £5, it's like a padded bag with a window which you use the phone through and a lanyard if you want to hang around the neck, it is what it is and form is largely out of the window in favour of function.
