Apple watch protective cases

[Dgray2712]

I am wanting to put a case on my Apple watch S2. Really liking the Spigen Tough Armor.

Any thoughts, and other suggestions? Also looking for a good nylon band.

I use one of the Tough Armour cases on my Watch when I am playing paintball. But other than that I never use it. The watch is tougher than people give it credit for. And really I only use it then, because I am not sure if the Watch can take a direct hit from a paintball. I also wear the watch facing in so the band is on the outside of my wrist.

As for the nylon band, I am a fan of the authentic Apple bands. I know a lot of people like the third party ones, but they are not for me.

Being a truck driver, and having to climb in and out of trailers, the cab, dodging forklifts, and such, I prefer the extra protection. That's what appeals to me about this one. Always better to play it safe.

True. If your Watch's at risk of suffering hard knox, a case is a good idea. I had that case on my AWSS for awhile. I'm not prone to banging my Watch around, so I ended up with the case trapping very fine particles of some nature and scuffing the finish of the Watch. I dumped the case.

I'd sooner take my chances case-less. I think the non-Stainless cases would fare well with a case.

Just picked up the Rugged Armor to have whenever I felt I needed and I actually like it way more than I thought I would. I have not had good luck with watch screen protectors so I doubt I will use one but the case is very nice.

Very old thread but I’ve wanted to get a case like this. Many say their watches get scratched up from the case being on there. Anyone had issues?

I just bought one of these in black:

Case and Nike type band.

I did use the Rugged Armor case for a while but what I didn't like was the case covering the back and sweat and grime getting in between the case and the watch. Caused some issues with the back of the watch.

I have purchased two of these watch cases by Julk on Amazon.


They fit nicely over my watch, and it's not horribly obvious that I have a case on my watch. I like them because they are clear, and very affordable at $8.99 each. The reason I have two, is because I'm a little OCD. I take one off, and wash it thoroughly and let air dry. I put the other one on so that my Watch is protected. I'm kind of a clutz, and I'm certain something would happen to my watch if it wasn't protected.

Thanks for the endorsement. I have a screen protector on mine, but they do tend to peel over time, so I'm thinking about one of these. I may have to order and try it to see it in real life to see how it looks, though.

That's exactly why I went this route. I love the looks of the watch, and didn't want to cover it up with a case... then I found these. Plus, it's so affordable, I figured it was worth a shot! I'm very happy with them, and if you do try one, let me know what you think!
