For anyone considering this case, it blocks the proximity sensor. I thought that maybe my sensor had gone bad as during a call my screen would go blank and not turn back on. Turns out it was the case. Another thing to consider is the whole thing feels "cheap" compared to my otterbox but considering it's only $20 instead of $60 I can't really complain. It is easier to swipe down from the top to open menus than the otterbox, I just wish it didn't block the proximity sensor.

I have a blue one, and also had the proximity sensor issue. Same problem I had with my GS3 and the ZL rugged case. In both situations I just snipped the bar off and cleaned up the area that I cut off with very fine sandpaper (started at 600 grit and progressed all the way to 2500 grit)

My S3 and this case are working fine for me with my iloome tempered glass screen protector even (removed screen protector that was in it)
I have the black one. I also seen someone complain that their colored case had a problem with flash on their camera and they got a black replacement and it fixed that too.
I plan to do this also. I do not like how much glare the included protector has in the sun, I can barely see the screen when its bright out even with the highest brightness set.
Anyone find a better holster for this case? It is a pain to take out if the screen is facing inward.
Got this holster at the flea market $3.00. :thumbup:
Had this since I got the case since the clip that came with the case I did not like it.
The clip is metal so it can take a beating.
If you look around the Internet you can find it on Amazon bigger and smaller to fit most phone's. :thumbup:

Do you have a colored inside to the case? I haven't had a problem with the black one. The only problems I have seen is with other colors.
I have the black case too. This case is the best I have ever owned, better than otter-box in my opinion
I don't have one, but I really want the pink case, but not if it has proximity sensor issues. After the lifeproof debacle I've got zero desire for another case with tons of problems.

I got the pink one. After watching a bunch of YouTube videos I realized the ones sold on amazon address the issue. I've got the anker 7800 in it.

I received my black case yesterday. Nothing bad to report except I live in South Texas with the glaring sun@102 I couldn't see my screen with the built in protector so I removed it.
I've got the Anker 7800 and this is my daily case. The only change I made was removing the screen protector on the case.
Thanks I just placed the order for both plus the ZL screen protector to use if the original one with the case doesn't work
Proximity sensor not working
Anyone who finds their proximity sensor doesn't work after installing this case and you are rooted and know how to use the terminal it can be re-calibrated by following this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2569141

My clip to my holster broke. Does anybody know how I can get a new one or does anybody have one they don't use?
Anyone else having a problem with the power button that's too sensitive? It keeps showing the power off screen when I hit the power button.
Edit: the power button is waaay too sensitive. Just running may finger across the power button is enough to turn the phone on/off. Is there anyway to fix this?

5from what you said is the only really bad thing is the screen protector if anything im just going to cut it out if i do not like it. i look at it this way it has to be safer than just using the TPU case for my 7500 mAh battery.
Hello from ZeroLemon
For the screen protector, we do see some clients are having issues about it not sitting tight on the screen. We are happy to get those sorted for you. Please email us about this
Thanks2Just ordered the rugged extended battery case from zerolemon. I'll be posting a full review in this thread as soon as I receive it. Hopefully I can retire my modded Defender now
(Link http://www.amazon.com/Zerolemon-Black-Series-Samsung-Galaxy/dp/B00CXZIEC6/ref=sr_1_33?m=A3FBBJRRMMULGW&s=merchant-items&ie=UTF8&qid=1381245391&sr=1-332Well mine arrived today and i'm pretty impressed with it, it appears well made and fits perfectly. Seems to add almost no extra bulk over the 7500mah tpu case, and actually looks better too. The screen protector is as bad as I thought it was going to be, doesn't sit tight against the screen and makes it feel like an old resistive screen, i've already removed it and will fit an ordinary screen protector. Cutouts are all perfectly placed and the volume and power buttons have a decent feel to them and require no extra or lesser pressure to operate. Overall, very happy with this.
