Video gives you 30 minutes of reasons why you should buy a case for your smartphone

Is your Samsung Galaxy S III naked, as in no protection, vulnerable to the weather, errant water balloon tosses or a passing airliner emptying the latrine?; what about the chance that you might damage your screen as even a Gorilla gets injured now and then, which would force you to go through the long procedure of changing the screen on your phone...

Make sure the phone case covers both the sides and corners of the display. That's usually the spot your phone hits when you drop it. I don't care how grand the design is of your phone, a glass display is still a glass display.

moral of the story? don't buy a galaxy s3, it's that simple.

Most smart phones are not built to withstand a beating even a minor one. this is not exclusive to the galaxy s3 or samsung devices. all of the major carriers with exception of ones that are trying to make military grade smart phones (Casio) or motorola trying to make a more buisness rugged phone. I suggest any smart or basic phones to have a decently rugged case usually otterbox or etc.

Otterbox Commuter series. I have lost track of how many times my Note II (and GS III before) have been saved by the Otterbox.

I also have the Otterbox commuter series. When I bought it I was not convinced I did the right thing. That changed one week later when my brand new S3 took a ~1.5 meter fall to the concrete floor (from my chest pocket while I was running) and rolled a couple of times landing on its screen (I also have a tempered glass screen protection). I checked everything and only found a couple of dirt spots on the case. Not a single scratch anywhere. So I also strongly recommend a case.

I prefer the OtterBox Reflex case. Not bulky, but plenty of protection.

I know I usually hate cases so am glad the feather series from incipio is around. Now I got it on my lumia 822 feel enough protected but not to much bulk! It's less bulky then even the skin one I had :)

You feel your phone is protected with that thin snap on case? Just don't drop it, okay.

the Lumia 920 screen is way stronger that the s3s screen

LOL I do feel it's better protected on the sides & back most def then with nothing on it. Surprised actually it's pretty tough material without being to bulky. And it's snapped on tight. Good cases incipio makes, esp for those of us that want some protection without adding too much to the phone.

Lol even the S2s screen is way stronger than the S3s screen

if the phone that was in the first video was a Lumia 920 he probably needs to keep hitting it like 5 times or 8 or maybe it might not break . :)

There is a video actually made by PhoneBuff and it survived 2 videos but broke at the third video and the s3 didn't even survive the first video ;P

I have a Lumia 920, and so the only thing I have to watch out for is that I don't drop the phone and break the ground ;o)

The fist video is amazing!! Funny thing is the more people talk about screen breaking the more S3 videos I see. I am not a hater or anything it just feels like there are a lot of S3 screen cracking videos out there. Doesnt the S3 have Gorilla glass 2? Regardless glass is glass and it will break...At the moment Im risking it going raw dawg with my Nexus. No protection baby!

Just got my Otterbox Commuter for my new Note 2. Very nice indeed and makes my phone feel very safe

You will really appreciate your Commuter case the first time you drop your Note II. With the Commuter, I find it easier to hold the Note II. Drops occur when I try to carry the Note II plus something else. Before the Commuter, I was starting to pass on trying to hold the Note II plus anything else. Now, I don't worry 'cause the Commuter protects the Note II.

Yeah, the Note 2 is one slippery bastard to hold onto. I've got a samsung case + coming also so I can compare the two and decide which one I like better. Also got my Spigen olephobic screen protector from amazon for it today

Yeah, You need heavy and ugly case for fragile phones Like sgs1-3 and iphones.
Buy Nokia Lumia 920 and You don't need anything. Just enjoy superior design, color and quality!

just because a phone might be durable does not mean that you shouldn't consider a case to lessen the chance of breaking or scratching or both.

I don't encase my phones. It hides the beauty of the phone.
32. akishakoi posted on 11 Jan 2013, 04:54 0 0
That is why I don't understand why phone manufacturers go after making phones thinner and thinner only to make you buy a case to protect them from breaking. It doesn't make sense. Yeah your iphone5 or GS3 is thin but it wouldn't be anymore after clothing it with a case. On top of that, cases defeat the the phone's design. My Lumia 920 may not be as thin as the other phones but I enjoy looking at it in its full beauty without worrying that it breaks when it falls. I don't envy thin phones. I envy quality materials.
