Urban Armor Case (Update 1-8-2013)

[Neuman.Tim]

Love the case to death but if the phone lands flat on its back from waist high, the screen goes kaboom =( found that one out a couple days ago. Still though, I wouldn't choose another case =)

He said on its back, meaning the back of the phone. Dammit now im scared since the lip on the front has protected it pretty good. Haven't dropped it on its back yet though

The back has small "legs" as what they call them

No problem for dropping it from the back as yesterday I let my gf to have drop test. She drop it from waist height about 1 meter and the case land on the back. Result : The case protected it very well...^^

So I decided to email UAG about this issue and they are sending a new one..FREE of charge. I opted to choose another color. Now that is good customer service you got there.

Mine is loose also. Do they just require pictures of the phone and proof of purchase for warranty claims or do you have to send the case in.

So far i know if you provide a picture of the problem they give a replace,
If you cant make a picture you have to send it back.

Overal very friendly Support and fair,
Bad side is that it does take like 3 days till they answer your email,
But i guess that okay ^^

Is it just a picture of the case or of the phone in the case?

My case wasn't really lose but I also put my cloth behind my phone in the case. Partly because it's a little tighter and also to always have one on me. My one question is, would doing this affect the way heat is ventilated through the device? Like would heat build up because of it? I don't think so but that recently crossed my mind.

Facepalm

Lol, "also to always have one on me". Does this mean you're always taking the case on and off just to get to the cleaning cloth?

If so, that's probably why your case is starting to get loose. Because you're constantly taking it on and off

 

[Liptus]

No, but every once and a while the screen just gets too bleh for a shirt and you need a cloth.

PS: wasn't trying to come off as a ****. The idea of watching someone take off their case all the time for a cloth made me laugh. (that's what the facepalm was for)

By far my favorite case. Finally decided to get it after reading this thread and no regrets. For some reason I'm dropping my phone more often with this case but no damage to the phone what so ever.

If you're reading this and still on the fence, get it

Yah...your probably dropping it more because it is too slick at the back...there's no friction barely at all...not to mention that the case increases the size of the S3....and when you try to reach the far corner of the screen with your thumb, you naturally tend to balance the S3 more loosely or open gripped (unless you have huge hands) and thus it is begging to slide off.

I have probably mentioned it too often, but having...ahhemmm...eGrips on the back of my UAG has taken away 99% of my dropping tendencies....and it feels so much better. I wish it was bonded right into the construction of the case.
