    Yeah agree about the screen size i was just worried that it may be too big but i'm sure i can live with it.
    Otterbox is a good idea , never used one so can you use the phone while its inside ?

    what he said

    just over 12 months and i live off it. add google calinder. Kies via wifi is great. i even have a G meter for tuning 200 & 300 TDIs. lastly is ES file explorer so i can watch or pull off movies and files from my XP network including RAVE. GPS read out is better than my tom tom but only use it with a map ( a real one like on paper) size is great and i dont have to look for my specks all the time. (incisor) the real reson

    Just got an otterbox defender for my S4.
    Yes it makes it bigger.
    Yes it protects the (expensive) phone very well.
    Yes I can still fit it in my work trousers pocket - but not my jeans so I'll have to get the missus to carry it in her handbag for me.....
    It's not broken. It's "Carbon Neutral".

    I have one in an Otterbox Defender.

    I love it.
    Only thing I would like is better reception.

    I waited for the 4g version. However where I live still doesn't have 4g. Fingers crossed for December

    I was tossing up either this or the Note 2. At the time I thought the S3 was huge and the Note 2 just crazy.
    However the first thing I did was put the S3 in an Otterbox Defender which makes it the same hight/width as a Note 2.

    Makes a 3.5 or 4in screen look useless.

    I use it for everything.

    The Otterbox case offers excellent drop protection but mine is not 12 months old and is pretty much stuffed. The build quality isn't very good.

    i have the armour, it is water proof.

    only minus is the call volume is lower but i need it because i am an idiot and drop my phone too often.

    Agree with all above, although I don-t have an otterbox, but I do have a smashed phone
