So many awesome cases, right now I'm using an otterbox commuter and it's not too bulky. But I'm interested in knowing how good these thinner cases protect the S3 from drops. I really like some of those spigen cases but wondering how good they would protect the phone. On my S2 i had a $5 tpu case from ebay and I dropped that ***** so many times and nothing ever happened. But the S3 does seem a little more fragile.

Tpu cases absorb impact better than the hard plastic. Ive had so many different cases, my current one is the seidio surface which is hard plastic, I am skeptical lol.

I recommend the s3 defender case... I just got it it adds nice grip to the phone and looks sick depending on the color.. It's 50 bones but so worth it plus the lifetime warranty

I found these spicydicy but no gray. I messaged them to double check and they said no:

I just ordered this in black. I am wanting something to help me go naked but add grip. It looks as if this has a soft touch finish. I will update when received.

I just got my Element Case today for my GS3 i9300.

https://www.elementcase.com/Element-Case-Atom-Galaxy-S3-Case-a/307.htm

So far I really like the material and the fit and feel of the case. The material really seems like sturdy and is not at all rubber as it is a composite type material. It grips really well and fits the phone real well. The only thing I dont like is the power button (on/off) is really hard to hit. You have to really push it hard to work. The volume buttons work absolutely fine. I put a couple small pieces of tape on the inside so the case button with push the phone button easier. Here are some pics:

So my Rock case broke after 5 month or so. I really liked the case but it must be a design flaw as it should not have broken so soon. The amazon vendor was great and issued a full refund after I returned the case. They offered 1/3 refund if I kept the case and used it in a "diminished state". lol

So I picked up this Elongo case and I like it alot so far. Here is a few quick pics taken with my Note II. The Samsung cameras are not that great in low light from my experience. Anyway the case matches the Blue much better and has very good grip. although not quite as grippy as the rock. The fit is excellent as well.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] txkorm:
I just picked up the same backplate for $3 to put me over $25 and get free shipping with my Moss UAG case. It's got a good feel to it but still not grippy enough for me to go naked. it's better than the stock cover but that doesn't say much.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] txkorm:
It's just a tiny bit too small so I have a very tiny seam that's not there with the stock cover..... The Tab 2 ducks!

EDIT - Just put my UAG on while leaving this backplate on and it looks sick. No more white seeping through the cutouts.

Last seller was selling with crap bumper. Work has the Bay blocked. :( I guess I could reach for my phone, but eBay causes too many wakelocks.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] JayyBiggs:
I have a white Urban Armor Gear case on my White S3 and am in love with it! Shows off the front bezel very nicely while still being a good protective case. Just enough of a front lip to make sure it hits case and not screen. Very light weight and good grip. Been through a bunch of different cases such as an otterbox commuter, a couple musubos and a couple incipios. This one is by far my favorite.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] Rar3:
This looks really nice! Does the blue at all effect how your photos look when using flash? In the past I have seen some cases turn your photos the colour of the case (usually iPhone cases to be fair)

Also I was thinking about getting one of those docks what's your opinion on these?

Here's some photos of my case right now (it's a non-branded one I got off ebay) thinking of getting a better one though similar to this one someone posted earlier:

Mine:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] rodger-sp:
I have no problems with the case and taking photos the camera and flash are separated by the case and this helps to prevent any flash over on your photos.

I like the dock it will work with thin cases like the seidio I use it every day to charge my phone.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ChrisM0678:
Not worth it IMO
[Galaxy S III Accessories] DUBVGALAXY:
Does your case have a bit of a bow to the back? For example can you press the case farther against the phone but it comes right back up? And does it sit flat or does it rest on the plastic and spin and slide around?

I have the black one and have had all the problems listed above and not very happy with the fit. I was so excited to have a thin fitting case with a kickstand but because of the bow on the back its about the same thickness as my commuter
[Galaxy S III Accessories] bgbagz:

For anyone who wants a really really thin case that still shows off the s3's awesome looks this is a great option, I like it a lot. I got these from newegg for 11 dollars.. totally worth it. It literally looks like there is no case on my phone. It does have a lip to protect the screen but wonder how well it will do if the phone drops.. probably not so good haha

Battery cover replacement. I purchased this a little over a week ago and just received it last night. I purchased the black version and it fits perfectly. The only thing wrong with it is the hole around the speaker is just slightly larger than the OEM cover but it is barely noticeable. The cover has a grippy feel similar to the original EVO back. This is for those that want to keep their phone naked but add more grip. The bumper that comes with it is junk fyi.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] rodger-sp:
Here is another case from itskins the Atom.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] nerys71:
i wish they would make a truly HD case. 2 part plastic shell with silicon skin on top (like hybrid case ology or defender from otter box)

I need protection. but man that orange is wicked awesome! what did that one cost?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] rodger-sp:
The two cases I posted photos of sell for $25.90
[Galaxy S III Accessories] stedj:
Love the itskins bubble bee just emailed them to see if they ship to the UK, the white one looks really nice but I love the orange I think it rivals the uag.......
[Galaxy S III Accessories] nerys71:
ummm no. silicon alone never rivals tpu reinforced. at least from a protection angle.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] stedj:
Oh is it just silicone thought it had a frame inside.....
[Galaxy S III Accessories] 1slow4G:
I like it. What other colors? Link by any chance?

Sent from my Galaxy S3 using neighbors wifi :P
[Galaxy S III Accessories] nerys71:
sure looks like just silicon. maybe a little hybrid action in the back but no frame where its NEEDED (the front bezel)

THIS is what I want.

this is the critical part

full front bezel. the phone "CAN NOT" fall out of this case or be accidentally removed from it by any normal or even vaguely unusual means.

very important to me especially at $26 !!

I like my cases to either be rigid form fit DIFFICULT to install and remove TPU cases with reinforced corners (ala UAG) or 3 piece hard inner 2 part shell form fitting silicon outer shell.

the UAG case is a good example of the first. you actually have to use some force to get it in and its a PAIN to get out. the more a pain to get out the BETTER the case. its hard to get the uag off without it removing the battery cover if your not careful. this is "GOOD" it means the phone can't fall out and won't MOVE AROUND inside the case (scratching up the phone)

the hard shell is similar. it actually does not TOUCH the phone in most places. just key pressure points so the phone can't "move around" inside the case so grit that gets in there is unlikely to scratch up your phone.

the hard shell keeps the grit scratching down and protects from penetration forces the silicon skin gives you great "grip" and protects from impact shock forces.

when I go out someplace nice I go with my Bamboo cases. gorgeous good grit and penetration protection POOR impact/shock protection (though it DID save my S3 from a pretty nasty in excess of 7 foot drop onto clay/concrete tile floor. shatters the bamboo case of course but no damage to the phone. not sure if the Note II would survive so well since its so much larger and heavier. (more G's on impact) nicely felt lined on the inside and just looks stunning.

but for day to day. its the UAG or the Case Ology Hybrid.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] stedj:
Looks wise it rivals UAG but I haven't really seen them in the flesh but that bubble bee looks nice
[Galaxy S III Accessories] nerys71:
well thats personal taste of course. I think the UAG looks way better. (this one is just brighter orange to add to my collection :) but not without a sub frame for that price.

the UAG also appears to be slightly "better made" but that is likely not a quality control difference so much as a materials difference (TPU/PC versus Silicone)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] stedj:
I do like the orange UAG it caught my eye but the prices on eBay over here in the UK like £62 someone is selling them for although Amazon have a few at £35 seems steep for a case?
