Spigen Rugged Armor review

The scratches are very light or minor. I was able to remove them with stainless steel polish. I'm currently looking for another case. This rugged armor might save it from a major scratch or chip. But it does still defeat the purpose.
Yes, it's pretty nice. Less protection than the rugged armor, but IMO plenty of protection all the same.
I got the white one on and I quite like it
Got the armorsuit screen protector on it as well
42mm sport
MORE PICTURES~!!!!!!!!!!!!! i have everything just like yours white case and armorsuit screen and blue and white bands coming and returning ehter one but most likely blue band would be return but who knows but give me more pics of it with showing armoursuit and cases
I lieu that everyone is getting their cases already I decided to cancel my order and buy from eBay. Got sick of waiting when some of my friends ordered way after me just at the end of last week and they're getting their cases already, my brother even got his yesterday, so it's canceled. I'll just wait for SwitchEasy to release bands with the cases they're already working on and I'll get some from them.

Thanks. I ordered the Rugged Armor in white for my SG Sport. I was going to get the Tough Armor in Orange but some reviews said the top part pops off too easily and I also want to get the screen protector on 100% of the time.
Check the critical reviews on Amazon. Others are starting to notice scratches now. I think most people must put the cover on and haven't taken it off yet. You can polish the scratches out but who would won't to do it daily.

Don't buy the spigen rugged armor case if you have the stainless steel model.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/251955479917 This is a better choice.
Thanks for the reminder. Just picked up the white and the black versions to go with my SG sport coming tomorrow.
I loved the way the white and blue sport combo looked. Very cool to me indeed. I also already wear an all black G-Shock as I love the style and functionality of it. Can't wait.
I'll post pics of both cases on when I receive them (not sure about the white honestly but for $11, its not like I'll hate myself for buying it).

Is the inside of the white case completely soft like the black rugged armor? I read one review about the white case scratching the Watch so being cautious before I order.
OP I'm curious do you plan on using the case 24/7 or just when you are in a "watch dangerous environment"?
Has anyone noticed the Rugged Armour scratching up the sport models or is it only the SS variety?
Wore the Black Rugged Armor all week. Took it off today cause the orange came. No scratches, no dents, nada.
Doesn't the Tough Armor take much longer to put on? I'm torn between that and the rugged armor but it seems a lot of people are complaining about installation and the TA falling apart.
They are both not cases you want to be taking on and off often. You have to remove the bands, stretch the rubber to get it over the watch. This part can be hard if you have a screen protector you don't want peeling. Then you have to get the straps back on. TA just has an extra step of strapping the plastic piece down on four sides, but that's the easy part.
I returned both. I want something like the Thin Fit for easy on/off, but I'm not happy with the prominent Spigen branding. Also, if I'm going to put a case on, it needs to be more protective.
Correct

Same amount of effort. I would not change them daily, but once a week is cool. Rugged is great and that's my first love. has no built-in screen protector.
Tough Armor is only day one for me. I did have a hard time the 2nd time snapping the screen back on top of it. I've worn it all day and worked out with it for 2 hrs and it stayed put.
Cool. I'll probably change every few days, although ideally I'd only like to wear it at the gym and maybe a music festival lol.
How's the clarity of the built-in screen protector?
This is the reason I returned both. I only want to quickly be able to strap on a case at the gym and take it off right after the work out. Neither rugged nor tough armor is good for that purpose.
I'm hoping Speck's case won't be too expensive. That one seems to work as Thin Fit but is as protective as rugged armor.
