You want to use Griffin or Otterbox cases.

My S3 was in a mint condition after a years use and I traded it back to O2 for £97 when I got my S5.

    I used to have iPhones, all the way through to the 4s. Far too many smashed screens and faults later I switched to samsung. Android took a bit of getting used to, but I'm a bit geeky and like me gadgets and android is far more flexible than iOS.

    I've ordered a case for this, and I can genuinely say I love this phone so far. A few tweaks and it's so !Removed! fast! (It was already quick)

    I've been in a few nasty rollarounds with my s3 in my pocket, never a scratch. But one day it slid off the bed on a carpeted floor and cracked! Strange...

    They both have been in Otterbox Defenders since day 1 :P

    I didn't get on with the Defender - the rubber outer deformed quite badly!! Got the Commuter on now. No integral screen protection - just a stick on one...which is better as dust doesn't get stuck under it. The other difference is that the Commuter is the inverse of the Defender - hard outer, soft inner

    I always preferred the Griffin survivor tbh, nice rubber outer that bounces rather than clattering off a kerb like an Otterbox.

    The belt clip is more sturdy and less bulky too.
