Best fit and look

IMHO

The Mercury Pearl TPU is by far the best looking and fitting case. Doesn't add bulk and the design and colors actually accent the phone's look.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] BoyBawang2:
The visual illusion that makes the S3 sexy are the arc shape of the chromes on the sides. Any case that covers it will immediately make the S3 look bulky. The case should have that same arc design on the sides to preserve the sexiness look but it seems no manufacturer have noticed it :(
[Galaxy S III Accessories] aturyan:
The S3 looks great with the Spigen SGP Modello.

I really like that case. What about it covering up the microphone though?

Case and leather holster

I would like to be able to have a case on my sgs3 and also use a leather pouch/holster to put it in. I like to carry my phone with me but hate the one I have now which is an otter box. The protection on the phone is Ok but I hate the holster. It is awkward to get the phone in and out of and is so big. Does anyone know of a thin case for protection that would fit in a leather pouch.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] waiters:
Don't think it ever came out :(
[Galaxy S III Accessories] prinzhernan:
I think the best case to protect while preserving its looks is still the official flip case. This phone looks really beautiful while still protecting the screen.

I grabbed a cheap 8$ aluminum bumper off eBay and came out to 13$ with shipping. I wanted a bumper so that I could still see the back of the phone and you can still feel the thinness of the phone and it didn't add much bulk or weight.

I bought the samsung flip case and I love it. The back is replaced with the case so your old back wont get scratched up... cuz its not there... unless you let your cat play with it. and the front is covered by the flap unless you want to use it in which case you get to see the phones nice design.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] Master Ramy:
I'm very happy with that link, gonna hopefully order it tonight if its really that clear

If its like the s case, the buttons won't be an issue. The covering of buttons is actually a feature protecting the actual phone hardware since a well aimed drop could break off the real buttons like power or volume. I have the s case on my nexus s and it covers the buttons, looks sleek, and actually isn't hard to press at all :) anyone got it yet? Is it really clear? Anyone seen it on pebble blue?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Mobs69:
I have that case along with the Ringke SLIM Lite from Rearth. I much prefer the Ringke, though the Elsse does look pretty on the phone, it is slightly bulkier than the Ringke SLIM Lite from Rearth and I prefer the black case contrast on the white phone.

I don't have the phone or case yet. But I purchased the speck candyshell in black/gray. I've never had a soft and hard case before so I'm not sure if I'll like it. I paid 34 for it. They come in like 5 or 6 colors and they look pretty cool.

No, that Cruzerlite case will NOT fit the SIII.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] manchild83:
I thought the galaxy s3 is the i9300. All of the cases will fit there shouldn't be a problem.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mrvirginia:
are the buttons still easy, or easier, to push with this case? i'm trying to decide between the Case-Mate tough case and the one you've posted about. it seems as though theres more room near the home button on the Silicrylic versus the Case-Mate.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] chrischoi:
Incipio Sylicrilic has soft silicone. It's not like the NGP polymer.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Gadgetz:
The buttons are very easy to push, so easy its almost as if there's nothing over them. They get an A+ in that department
[Galaxy S III Accessories] chrischoi:
I just wish it had a nicer way of incorporating the silicone and plastic. :(

It's a very rough finish in my opinion. Seidio Active has much better quality. About the same thickness.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mrvirginia:
okay awesome. some think that just because it's silicone that it's easy to push. not the case. i picked up the Belkin one that someone posted photos above of that leaves the back open... that has a silicone insert. it's almost impossible to hit the wake/sleep button :eek:

the Silicrylic seems a bit thicker than the Tough Case, though, so i may end up just getting one of those.

edit: could anyone with the silicrylic dualpro possibly post some photos?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kennonk:
I had a casemate barely there for my SGS2 and it was OK, It isn't much drop protection if the phone lands on the top or bottom.

With my SGS3 I got the 3 for 2 deal on the Cruzer Lite Android cases: http://www.amazon.com/Translucent-A...1259000&sr=8-2&keywords=cruzer+lite+galaxy+s3

I got Green, Clear, and Cyan and for $20 I feel like I got a great deal. I've already bounced my phone on a tile floor from about 4ft up and nary a scratch. Once AOKP is ported over I will be buying another one or two so I can be decked out Unicorn Swagger Style ;-)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Gadgetz:
We must be talking about two different cases then cause this Incipio is sexy as ****! They went to lengths to ensure perfect fit and finish, nothing rough about it and nothing looks out of place or odd. I am completely floored at just how polished this thing is, its amazingly finished and refined. As for the incorporation of plastic and silicone, many have asked me about my case and when I tell them about it they are amazed, even after handling it, at how beautifully it all comes together. The fact that the hard shell actually feels like the silicone as far as texture and the look of the the shell makes it impossible to discern which is silicone and which is the hard shell. Again, they definitely get an A+ there as well!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Gadgetz:
I know exactly what you're talking about cause I had an Otterbox on my last phone and its the same, silicone sleeve, hard shell over it.....the buttons were noticeably harder to push than on this case and you certainly didnt feel or hear the click of the push. I have a dslr so I'll do my best to post up some nice shots later tonight.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mrvirginia:
thanks, i'd really appreciate that. i found a couple but they don't do the case any justice. i'm def staying away from otterbox. it's either Tough Case or Silicrylic DualPro, and i just saw a coupon for 20% off of the Silicrylic making it $11 bucks cheaper than the Tough Case...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] crysalot:
What case are you talking about..becuase it cant be the Incipio silicrylic...

I have one and it is very sleek and well made. My main gripe on the case is the hard shell is a bit too smooth and feels like it is coated in baby power. But even with the hard shell being a bit slick the silicone give it good grip in the hand. The other minor issue is the silicone can be pushed away slightly when pushing the home button.

The screen protector they come with doesnt stick too well to the screen so i got another one..which I am still not too fond of but it is better than the one that came with the case.

Here is a few pictures of mine

EDIT: not sure why my pictures dont show up...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] bmoreboy02:
I think the casemate pop is the way to go atleast until the otterboxes come out. First i had it on my white then my girl took the white lol so i bought blue and another visor AG screen guard. I put my casemate on the blue. I think this case looks good on both colors though

Thanks I may get this. But since I have the white S3 not sure if I should get the black or white. Any suggestions?? Only $3.85 for black or $4.95 for white free shipping, can't go to wrong. For those who have this, is this more of a hard plastic or a more of a harder rubber material? If not that I'm still on the fence to get the Galaxy S3 Ringke SLIM Lite. Looks much more sleak and more attractive.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kronium:
The link is for a clear one. I personally like the clear due to the minimal contrast. If you haven't used a TPU case before, it's the same material used to make escalator handrails. So it's a harder rubbery feel.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] Gadgetz:
So if the top and bottom of the phone are exposed with that case, how can that be considered "best" as it relates to protection? I agree with you that it is a very attractive case, I wanted one myself to be honest but the lack of top/bottom protection was a deal breaker :crying: Does it even allow you to place the phone face down without resting on the screen itself?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Monkey Man Zero:

[Galaxy S III Accessories] OnceAMatrixMan:
Hi all. Still waiting on my SG3 - it's going to be a long week. I've read this thread and it seems there are a lot of great cases for the phone. I'm looking for a case with a soft inner shell, and a hard outer shell - but that outer shell has to allow it to slip in and out of pockets easily. I have a Sedio case for my Inc now and the rubberized outer shell made it hard to slide in and out of my pocket, and it is a lint collecter (but otherwise I love the case). And the best thing about the case was the available holster for those times I didn't or couldn't put it in my pocket.

Any suggestions? Thanks!!

1 up on you there, buddy... what were you saying about the perfect marriage of silicon and plastic...:p
[Galaxy S III Accessories] eyecon82:
all of these cases just end up scratching your phone more

they are merely for shock absorption..not to prevent every day scratches

and who cares about covering the back cover? You can buy a replaceable battery door for around $10...I just dont get it? :confused:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] OnceAMatrixMan:
All I care about is shock absorption. A sexy phone with a cracked screen is an expensive paperweight.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] eyecon82:
that I can understand.....it's the "preventing scratches" that I don't understand...it makes it worse in fact

I just found this out via my sgsII...took off my tpu case and my god there were little scratches everywhere!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] zaisaroni:
You have to clean the insides of them from time to time, if a grain of sand/dirt get back there it can cause havoc.

They do keep scratches down, my iPhone 3GS looked brand new when it was 18 months old because of cases.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] il buono:
Definitely a tradeoff. I too hated how it scratched the sides of my GS2 but I still buy them since I'd rather have light scuffs than a deep scratch/dent if I drop it.

I also got this case and am really happy with it. Top and bottom edges are a little bare but its slim and fits great.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Gadgetz:
Haha, i'm the same way

Negative...I've had an otterbox on my Atrix 2 for 9 months now and it's flawless to this day. Since the Silicrylic is made similarly, I fully expect that it too will remain flawless. Actually I know it will cause the back is protected by an XtremeGuard full body skin ;)

Care to show me where you can buy an oem battery for for $10? I want an international version so I can get rid of that AT&T logo. And count me in as one who cares about covering the back cover.

True story!

Maybe the cheap, snap on, hard plastic and tpu cases scratch up your phone more, but a real case like a Silicrylic for example, with protect your whole phone and prevent those scratches.

The only thing I like about TPU cases is how thin and form fitting they are. Other than that, no thanks.

That's what turned me off about those cases, top and bottom areas are completely exposed so I'd still be paranoid when handling it/setting it down, etc. Pretty cool though how thin those things are and they do make the phone look even sexier too, I must admit.

But I'd like to find one that is two pieces like this one:

http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=170859777

But I'd also like one that I could find locally, like at a sprint, att, tmobile, best buy, radio shack, etc.

Some other things that are important are that I would like to spend around $40, and I'd really like a built in screen protector and a holster. But I can't afford to wait for one to come out if it's not out already, so if something needs to be sacrificed, so be it.

Any recommendations?
