Okay, I got my Matte Blue Diztronic case. Here are some pictures of it.

The case itself is very nice. I really like the way it looks and feels, and the cutouts are in all the right places. If anything, I wish the lip was just a little bit smaller since that would make it a little easier to hit the Home button, but it doesn't really get in the way. I am not yet sure about the color. I can see how it does have a purpleish look to it, mostly around the polished lip on the front. Actually, my first thoughts when I look at it are that the case is purple rather than blue. I think the color itself looks more like the Home button- Purpleish and glossy. Unfortunately the Home Button is the color of the phone which I like the least. I would have preferred if the color was a little more subtle, like the portions on the phone that are under the glass are, or more grayish-blue like the battery cover.

I'm not sure yet what I'm going to do with this one. I'm going to sit on it for a day and decide what I really think about it. Maybe the color will grow on me more, if not I am probably going to go for the Matte Black one.

I would say it gets 4 out of 5 stars. 5 stars for fit, feel, and quality.. 3 stars for color. Just my opinion.

EDIT: Okay, it's been a day, and after using it, I've decided this one is going to be a keeper. I was a little thrown off by it at first, but the color seems to have grown on me. I still would have preferred this in a slightly more blueish-gray shade, but the color does work well with the Pebble Blue.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jnicks510:
Yeah the lip does look purplish
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Div033:
I must say I am a huge fan of the translucent white on my white GS3. Great fit and can still see the logos! 5/5 for this TPU case.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] CB620:
I'm torn between the clear and the blue case. I ordered the blue s3.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] DarkManX4lf:
I've got a problem with the diztronic case and its a weird one. With the case off my wifi speeds are fine. I have a 50megabit down connection at home and with the case off I get around 30megabit down which is fine. With the case on at times it wont even complete a speed test or my download speed would be like 800kilobit/s...Anyone have the same problem?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] immunityx:
I went ahead and ordered a matter black for my pebble blue s3 which, in case should be here tomorrow... Anyone got some high quality pics of the blue s3 with the matte black case?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jmz768:
The "clear" case is what I ordered first and it looked like crap on my pebble blue. Sent it back and went with the matte black and I'm really pleased with the look now.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] CB620:
Yeah the pictures of the clear with the blue didn't look like a good combo. The blue on blue looks nice, just need to see the matte black on blue. Not a fan of the gloss. I'll make my decision on that.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jnicks510:
I can almost guarantee that it can't be case related. Are you testing the connection at the same time?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] DarkManX4lf:
What do you mean ?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jnicks510:
I mean I highly doubt that the case, that has no metal in it, can be causing your reception issues. Have you tried doing a speed test with and without the case, simultaneously?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] DarkManX4lf:
Not at the same time but I have done it with and without the case.

But I think I fixed it.... I took the battery cover off and placed it back on. Now it seems to be better.

I do agree the case shouldn't be an issue. It has no metal or anything to interfere. Really just weird.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jnicks510:
That's even more strange that it was the battery cover lol. I have fios and sometimes my WiFi speeds flicker.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] DarkManX4lf:
I have fios but my speeds are pretty much constant. WiFi does flicker but not like it was lol.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] CB620:
Probably gonna go with the matte blue. Seems to be the only one that looks close to right with the pebble blue.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] CB620:
Can you post pics?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jnicks510:
or you could do a completely different color, like gray! ;)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tacomojo:
I have the matte black case, it's awesome!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jas27:
Great case for the money!! And prime shipping.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] RageATheM:
I got a Matte Black and Matte Blue in the mail this week and so far I love case. The black one might have been earlier production as the cut-outs don't line up perfectly but they don't interfer with anything. The Matte blue looks great on the pebble blue color and the cut outs are pretty much perfect
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Kevinl86:
Yeah I have a feeling the matte blue case is what I'll be rocking for a LONG time. The case just looks good.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] sn0warmy:
I ordered my White Galaxy SIII last night and after spending about an hour searching around case threads it became pretty clear that the Diztronic TPU cases were the best available. So last night I also ordered a matte back clear case from Diztronic's Amazon store. Both the phone/case should arrive on Monday. Pretty excited!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kmoff77:
I'm so torn on whether to get the matte black or clear case to go with my white Verizon S3. I might just end up buying both, but I'd rather not.

What is the consensus to go with the White phone?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jnicks510:
My dads matte black should arrive today for his white gs3 . I'll post pics later.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Kevinl86:
For $12.00 shipped per phone case if you decided to get both it's not going to be a killer hit to the wallet.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] justin860:
Do not get the clear ones I'm telling you they get absolutely disgusting I clean my case all the time is actually starting to get permanently stained I had to buy a different one still waiting on a reply from my refund
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kingwp1:
How would that be possible? Doing a speed test twice at once? With the case on and off at the same time?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] dondidit5:
Best cases on the market if you ask me. Got mine for $10 and I LUV it! Ordered another the other day.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] pkd600:
Just edited my original post. After sitting on it for a day and using it in my daily life, the Matte Blue color has grown on me and I think I will be keeping this one. I still would prefer it in a slightly more blueish-gray shade of color, but it works well with the Pebble Blue.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] badbeat33:
I received my dark blue matte diztronic case yesterday and I have to say I’m extremely disappointed. I'm really bummed because I like the color so much but I guess I should have really taken to heart the people who said these cases were slick but I guess I just didn’t believe it. Geez, I can barely hang on to the phone with this case on it. Oh well. At least it was only $12. Back to my $2 ebay tpu glossy case (which is less slippery)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] pkd600:
I guess your right, the matte case is a little on the slick side.. I never even noticed it until I just read your post. I guess whether or not this is an issue really depends on the individual user. The phone fits well in my hands, and for me this seems to be a non-issue.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kronium:
Yeah these cases need to be matted on the inside, not the outside. Grip would drastically improve as well. Seems like most cheap TPUs coming out of China are matted on the outside.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Div033:
Yup, my clear one is starting to yellow as well. Shame too because it was beautiful for the first half week it was clear.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] irock1985:
Add me to the list of dingy matte clear ones.... Though this definitely sucks I know it is an oversight as I have used their cases for years... Bought a blue one to replace my clear.... Hopefully we can get some love on our matte clears

I have the matte black case, its worked great so far.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] immunityx:
Matte black ftw
[Galaxy S III Accessories] fergie716:
Yupp that's what I got.

I dropped my phone for the 1st time tonight with the case on. Landed screen down. No screen protector on and there are no scratches whatsoever. Case worked perfectly
[Galaxy S III Accessories] immunityx:
Good stuff!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ingenious247:
Had the matte clear as well (Pebble Blue phone) and it looked phenomenal, different.

It's all nasty/yellowish now after only three weeks, which sucks. Was going to buy another one and just keep replacing it as it yellowed but every three weeks? forget it

So I bought the new blue one, which I'm sure I will like as well.. but it'd be nice to get a free clear replacement, three weeks seems unreasonably quick to yellow. Especially since according to Diztronic they put an "anti-yellowing" agent in it.

Nevertheless, their cases are the best IMO, especially at the price-point w/ a free screen protector.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jmorton10:
Doesn't say much for their quality control........
[Galaxy S III Accessories] chasesavestheday:
Matte Blue looks great on the phone and at $10 I cant complain, I love it.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] accrews2001:
I got the matte blue yesterday. Looks fantastic with the pebble. It is slightly more slippery on the back than the cruzerlite tpu case I had ( probably due to the matte finish) but I like this look.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] belly1026:
I got the matte clear one just last week and it's still looking good.

I'm really not looking forward to the case getting yellowish :(

Now I'll have to look for a nice new case.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] :
Same happened to mine. Got yellowish where my fingers rest on the case. It attracts oils easily.

Did you contact their support on Amazon? Tell them it's turning yellow and looks dirty. Maybe they'll look into them if they get enough people having the yellow issues.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] sn0warmy:
I received my Diztronic matte clear case and white GS III in the mail on Monday. Before even turning the phone on I instantly put the case and included screen protector on. (First time I ever installed a screen protector perfectly too!)

This is definitely the best fitting case I've had for any phone I've owned (Galaxy SIII, Galaxy nexus, Galaxy SIII, nexus One). I love it but now I'm pretty upset to hear that everyone is having yellowing problems with this case. :(
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ingenious247:
Yeah it's pretty bad. I won't ever but another clear TPU case. It's not Diztronic's fault though it's the nature of TPU

[Galaxy S III Accessories] KentuckyHouse:
I have to agree on this wholeheartedly. I had a Belkin Essential 050 case on my 4S and had this same problem. The back of that case is matte clear, like the Diztronic cases mentioned here, and once it started to get dirty or oily, nothing would bring it back. You could clearly see where I placed my fingers while holding the phone. But that's just the nature of the material. This is why, when I want a translucent back on a case, I always go with ones that are smoked. It keeps that problem from showing itself.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] gunnyman:
Was just coming to say the same thing. Mine just arrived today.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] sn0warmy:
I want them to come out with a matte white one now. That should help prevent the yellowing that these clear ones seem to be plagued with.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Kilroy672:
Has anyone applied the screen protector that came with the case? I bought the Skinomi before I got my S3 and already its gotten dirty along the edges becuase it starts to peal when I put the Diztronic case on. I'm prety sure its a cheaper screen protector, just want to know how it looks and feels.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kameleongt:
The one supplied works good but it leaves a good amount of screen left unprotected. I had a wet apply screen protector and couldn't use cover I took it off and kept phone more protected. Ill post pics in about 8 hrs unless someone does it before me
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jnicks510:
You could use seaglow to make it clear again...I used to use it on my clear soled sneakers

I use the SGP Ultra Nano protectors, which do not extend all the way to the edge of the glass but they do protect enough in my opinion. Plus they look and feel fantastic, can not tell its there unless you are looking for it.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] goodwidp:
Got my Black Matte case yesterday and while I definitely like the feel and form of the case, I was a bit disappointed with the cutouts being slightly off. It's not so bad that it covers anything up, so I'm not going to go through the hassle of returning it, but it just makes things look a tad "off" when looking at the cutouts. I understand that these cases are mass produced and anomalies like these are bound to occur. From what I've read on these forums, Diztronic seems like a good company with great customer service and a solid product so I wouldn't use this example as a deterrent from purchasing any of their products.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jnicks510:
True but I guess if someone really wanted a clear case they could have 2 and rotate/clean them :-\
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kameleongt:
Here are a couple pics with protector that came with diztronic case
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Kilroy672:
Thanks for the pic. But how does it acutally feel to the touch? I have the same protector, but its bugging me not want to try it and ruin what I have have on it. Even though it only cost me .99+ shipping=$4.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kameleongt:
It feels good better than the wet apply I used originally. Leaves some prints but seems durable to me. No scratches yet
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Kilroy672:
Thanks, I'll give it a shot. :good:

Got it put on. Seems ok but it seems to have alot of bubbels even though I try to squeeze them all out. Did you have the same troubles?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] goodwidp:
This is pretty random but if anyone happens to have an old windshield mount for a Garmin GPS, the S3 with a Diztronic Matte case fits perfectly into it. I was cleaning out my car and I found the mount and decided to try it out on a whim and it snapped right in. The specific Garmin model this came with was the Nuvi 255W and I have no idea if other Garmin mounts would work but I figured I would throw this out there just in case it could help someone out.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] KentuckyHouse:
I think I'd read that somewhere before, but thanks for the reminder. The nice thing is that you can pick up one of those mounts for cheap!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] edboy21:
Wow! I only had the clear tpu case on for only 2 weeks and its starting to yellow already. This sucks!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Ztrewa:
Just got my matte black case in the mail yesterday and I must say, I am impressed. The fit is tight with perfect cut outs. And the included screen protector is not bad, doesn't touch the edges of the front glass so hopefully it won't peel. I would say this case is well worth the ten dollars on Amazon.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] cmd512:
One of the first people to order and receive the matte clear version, which is now a yellowish dirt color. Anyone reach out to Diztronic yet about possibly replacing it?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] DarkManX4lf:
Why would they replace it after you made it dirty?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] cmd512:
Oh, a genius in the crowd. Yes, me and other dozen in here with discolored cases like walking around with our hands covered with dirt, especially when we use the phone. It's fantastic that way.

To put it plainly for you since you clearly have a hard time comprehending: The case discolored over a very short amount of time. And I've had other clear TPU cases that did NOT discolor, so of course I'm interested in talking to Diztronic about replacing it with a different color or with another clear one if the discoloration issue has been fixed.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jrwingate6:
You think he's a genius? After my comment, you're going to think I'm a fricken prophet.

You own a GTR and you are complaining about a $10 phone case?:D
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Lekz:
Heh I know right...

In other news, I applied my spare skinomi and I think I found a way to avoid peeling the screen protector when putting the case. Carefully put the top of the phone in first, then slowly insert the phone down the sides until bottom pops in. No peeling here, but this protector's going off anyway 'cause I ended up with a tiny speck (From the included microfiber towel, no less) right on the middle of the screen...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] DarkManX4lf:
Yes. It's diztronic fault your case is dirty. My simple mind missed that point. :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] :
It's actually the material they use. It absorbs oils from your fingers. :thumbup:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] cmd512:
Yes, I own a GT-R. I also have my own company and stand behind the products I sell/manufacture. It has nothing to do with how much it costs, it has to do with the fact that they sold a product that discolored after just a few weeks of use.

If you think that's acceptable, then you're one stupid prophet.

Were you born stupid, or are you just trying really hard today?

Not sure if it's a material issue or a process issue from their production process. But, the owner has said these cases are manufactured in China, which means his cost per case is probably in the pennies. Bottom line is: There is no reason why these cases should be discoloring so quickly. I've PM'd the owner to see if he's aware, and if not, if there can be anything done for all of us on here with a discolored clear case.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] :
Mine had yellow finger prints after only a week.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] cmd512:
That's ridiculous and NOT acceptable, I don't care what these other idiots on here say. I'll keep you and the rest with a

defective

discolored case posted as to what the owner comes back with.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] :
The owner will say it's a problem they haven't heard of.. Then they will offer you a replacement or another color.. I gave my replacement away as the black one isn't the case I wanted in the first place. And a new clear wouldn't stay clear obviously.

I'll stick with incipio from now on.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] cmd512:
Thanks for the feedback, it's always great to hear that an owner/company stands behind their product by at least trying to remedy the situation.

If they had a white case, that would be my next choice. May give the blue case a try instead.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SONE9:
First, I would like to go offtopic and say your car is... damn dude

Secondly, I too have the matte clear. It's been about two weeks but no discolouring yet, so maybe I'm lucky. After seeing the feedback on here though, I'm pretty dissapointed that I apparently have a ticking yellow time bomb in my hands, and have since then ordered the black one and the blue one.

I take it you have a white phone as well? Assuming you do have the white one, lucky for us we have the flexibility of many colours for our case choice. Here's hoping I'm not wrong though @.@

[Galaxy S III Accessories] nucgaek:
How long did any aussie buyers wait before it arrived? Bought a blue almost 3 weeks ago, but nothing yet, and tracking's stuck
[Galaxy S III Accessories] cmd512:
Thanks for the kind words. And yes, I have a white version as well. Originally pre-ordered the blue version from the UK, but with all the blue version delivery issues at first, I switched to a white version to get the device faster. Definitely prefer a clear case to show off the cleanness of the white SGS3's exterior, but looks like Diztronic dropped the ball on the clear version.

Molding plastics is a pretty complex process. Depending on how long you dry the plastic pellets before melting them down to mold, how much regrind material you use, what temperatures you mold at, and various other process controls, your resulting product can vary quite a bit. I'm not sure if Diztronic's manufacturer in China switched plastic vendors or if something in their process changed, but these cases shouldn't be discoloring this easily.

Cool, hopefully I'll hear from the owner soon. Will be interesting to see the blue case on a white device!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] irock1985:
Yea I have the white as well it's definitely the best combo... Better than the clear when it was still clear

This is the reply I received from Diztronic. Really? They expect customers to shell out $10 every 2 weeks? Needless to say that will be the last time I do business with Diztronic.

Hi Paul,

I'm sorry, but we don't replace clear cases due to discoloring since we do mention in the product description that this is an issue. I'm actually replacing mine every 2 to 4 weeks, if you got almost 2 months out of it that is more than typical unfortunately. I wish they lasted longer, I almost don't want to make them, but we get so many requests for them that I decided to continue making them but include the disclaimer. From the product description:

Regarding color changing: We have added an anti-yellowing agent to our clear TPU to delay the yellowing that is common with clear plastic exposed to UV light over time. However, since this case does have a matte finish, it can be difficult to clean. If you frequently slide your phone into blue jeans pockets for example, it may pick up some of the blue dye from the fabric. Please keep in mind that you may need to replace this case more frequently then our other colors.

Best,

Clay
[Galaxy S III Accessories] :
The owner doesn't have to pay for his..... I won't by their products anymore either.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] paul.p:
Apparently the might dollar is more important than customer satisfaction...what erks me is that he acknowledges that there is a problem but continues to produce them anyways.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] cmd512:
Yep, just got the same BS response from the owner. Says the fact that mine lasted over a month is pretty good. Deferred to some tiny ass disclaimer on his website that warns of discoloring, even though the first line mentions an ANTI-DISCOLORING AGENT being used. My question is: WHY wasn't this warning plastered along the top in massive bold print???

I about laughed when he responded that he replaces his every few weeks. Yeah, we know you have unlimited access to the product you manufacture... duh, I do too. That doesn't mean you DON'T STAND BEHIND THE ONES YOU SELL.

Going to rate Diztronic negatively any chance I get. This is just pathetic and inexcusable from a business ethics standpoint.
