Right I have just got myself a samsung galaxy tab 3 7.0 and in need of a decent tough sleeve for it due to the nature of my job.

I have had a quick google and havent had much joy the only option ive come across is the otterbox defender series. Anyone got one of these or recommend anything else?

Ideally i would prefer a sleeve to a case as its big enough to hold as it is lol

Thanks in advance

Griffin Defenders are very good if they make one, I ran my iPhone over with a 30tonne loading shovel (it fell out the window!) and it did survive!

I looked at the griffin range but nothing for the tab 3 or generic 7" tablets

found a sleeve called g form extreme looks pretty much indestructable so bought it only £40!

Sounds a bit cheap for something that's meant to protect well.

It was on offer supposed to be £60ish.

Aslong as it stops my tablet getting crushed in my bergen happy days!!

I've used an Auqapac for 2 years and still as good as the day it was bought.

There are some great cases out there but the issue is that not all the manufacturers make them for all the different tablets or phones.  I would suggest a Tech 21 case (as they have the D2O rights) but I don't think they do one for the Tab 3.

 

What type of protection do you need?  Is it something to protect from a drop, impact or being stored as you say at the bottom of a Bergen?  The different cases will all do subtly different things and you need to make sure that the tough case you choose has the toughness you actually need.

The g form extreme i bought in the end had a video of a bowling ball being dropped on it and being dropped from 50,000ft, not a scratch! Being in a bergen it shouldnt get anywhere near that much abuse....i hope :/

Had a look at their site and videos and they look quite a similar material to the Tech 21 stuff, in that it is flexible but stiffens upon impact. This is great for protecting against the test they show but as I said not against all forms of impact. I would be wary of it being pierced by something pointed.

Reminded me of the video a few years back when the reporter broke the 'unbreakable' phone in front of the inventor on camera.
