Unless the screen falls onto the corner of a table or something ¬_¬
Surely that's covered by mrk's angle and luck provisos

Yeah it is in some ways I suppose
But in general you would have to be very very unlucky in order for that to happen
Where as with your standard drops, which would just be somewhere on the corners, top, bottom or sides, damage to the mobile could happen with any of those hard cases (really does come down to luck and angle etc.) but with the otterbox, tough etc. the mobile would be fine no matter what way it lands (unless as said it was on the screen first
)

The defender does. I'd be wary of dust getting under it though, as the case isn't sealed as such and the screen protection just sits on top.
Well you've read a report now and because you haven’t seen a bad report doesn’t mean there aren’t bad ones out there. I suspect that aren’t that many reports about them out there.
It is after all cheap, tacky and lightweight, just a nasty plastic box with a slot. The only good thing about it was the colour. This one required two handed operation to remove the phone and a firm hand to place on the stand so it’s been consigned to the bin. I’m glad I didn’t have to spend very much on it.
My recommendation is buyer beware and spend your money elsewhere.
I think some of their cases do, think it is like a flip cover or something for the screen. EDIT: Yeah as fornowagain said the defender does
Yeah that is the price you have to pay for ultimate protection unfortunately
Oh god! The note would be HUGE then!
You would have to carry a man bag just for it 
Otterbox are just a bit too extreme for my liking, far too much faff required!

Why not just get a 3.5mm cable with a headphone plug at each end and plug it into the top of the phone and into the aux connector on your radio?

- Was 150 yds from OCUK - now 0.5 mile; they moved
I bought this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/270818572865?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
£2.35 free delivery.
Its good, I use mine to record my journeys on my S3. Using Torque Pro - the videos saved on phone have my dials overlayed showing various info from my ECU (with a bluetooth adapater) that I choose to customise like speedo/Revs/MPG/Air-to-fuel ratio/Boost/Engine Temp/Coolant Temp etc etc. You can also overlay a google maps semi transparent map over the video.
The software to encode to data from the Video in Torque to a PC video file is bugging out at the moment, the guy who wrote it is trying to sort it out
Here is a video taken with that car mount.

Lol when I bought the Note I thought the same and bought myself a man bag, 3 actually, I subscrbed to Nat Geo Trav just for the "free" bag then bought a "thing" from tkmax one lunchtime then bought a lifeventure bag from Mike Ashley, you could take the strap off and attach to your belt (the only one I've used, when it was sunny that day) I didn't have the pockets.
I couldn't GAF what others think about me so imagined wearing a man bag would be easy, it's not the self loathing was too strong.

Thanks, exactly what I was looking for, I see at the end your driving on the A34, going to OCUK I presume? I work at Phones 4U head office, the big white building opposite FedEX.
CAF Dude, I didn't recognise the stretch of road, though it must be in Germany or Switzerland according to your speedo

I'm not 100% sure, but does this mean "cool as ****"?
I got an osomount space mount (Used to be Exogear) has a different type of suction pad that sticks to ANYTHING, even the dash. It's awesome
Has anybody bought a USB OTG cable or Mhl-HDMI adapter off eBay? I want to know what the quality is like especially with the HDMI adapter. They're quite a lot cheaper than the official Samsung accessories and I can't really afford £25 for a cable.
Yeah i saw that, I can't see any on eBay that look decent anyway. Looks like I may have to get the official MHL cable.
