Here's my case mate POP! Case. Great protection and the rubber grips ensures u won't ever drop the phone ;)

sorry for the quality and hugeass pics.. uploaded from phone and taken at night
[Galaxy S III Accessories] marcucci217:
Great pics, thanks! Really diggin' that case. Two questions:

1.) Would you say that this case is on the thick side? I would love to see a picture of the case uninstalled if you wouldn't mind ;)

2.) I like the idea of having a kickstand, and this case looks like it executes the feature quite nicely. However, it appears from the pictures that the end of the kickstand has a black rubber part, and I was wondering if that is rubber that grips to the surface. I could see this being helpful if you either have an uneven surface or something (or someone) knocked into the phone when the kickstand was propping it up.

There you go. To answer your questions I'd say the case is medium in thickness. Comparing to the otter box defender and case mate phantom cases as thick and the case mate barely there's as thin... This case is in the middle. Thicker than a standard tpu case though since its a hybrid case (hard shell around really high quality silicone that doesn't attract dust) . It's about half the thickness of the "tough" style cases out there.

The black bit at the end of the kickstand is indeed made of rubber and to help grip onto surfaces =) although it's a little on the flimsy side, but unless you're really rough with it I don't think it's a problem.

Oh and also to anyone wondering, the power and volume buttons have excellent responsiveness. its not extremely sensitive nor does it take alot of pressure to push.

Hope that helps!

Air Case for Galaxy S3 - Clear

Here is a hard shell case that I got from Monoprice.com. I haven't seen a lot of reviews for transparent clear cases, so I thought I'd take a chance on this one and review it. I haven't had the time to evaluate it for a proper review, but I will be doing that within the next week. I just wanted to give you guys a look. Quite cheap as well - only $2.70! Maybe worth it to pick up a couple if you like it.

Back:

Power/Wake Button Side:

Volume Rocker side:

Top:

Bottom:

Can you tell that is is extremely thin? Probably the thinnest case I've ever seen for a phone. I haven't measured, but it has to be less that 1mm.

No offence but I've seen similar that actually look better and does exactly the same job for under $10, so I think you've been suckered into buying something you believe must be better because it's expensive.

Spot on! what I was going to say except on the size. I feel like the thickness is nice but for me, the width is too big for it to be my every day case. I do have small hands though.

not to spoil your day, but you can get that for $50 now, not to mention it looks ugly, also it reduces your signal and it does't have a lip.

i just picked that one up in all black at a local mall for under 20 bucks.. so far im really digging it. hoping i never test it out as well as you did heheh
[Galaxy S III Accessories] nerys71:
its an amazing case. LOVE all the colors too :) if you decide you want a spare hit ebay. around $8 or $9 shipped. ($20 retail is NOT BAD considering they sell TPU for $30 retail !!)

I am not so sure about the Note 2 now (I was lusting over it) I have big hands so the S3 is not a "big phone" to me in this case it feels "good" but I can tell its "close" to the limit (probably around 5" screen would be the biggest comfortable size)

the note 2 might be ok without a case but then its unprotected and thats a problem for me :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] freeza:
Why do you guys choose huge bulky cases? I'm just wondering because the majority of them I've seen in this thread have been that way.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] nerys71:
well I guess some explanation is required first.

Many people seem to buy a phone for "looks" (iphone) and image. I do not. I buy a phone for function IE what it can "DO" high res screen lots of sensors lots of memory good camera etc..

the "shape" and "style" of the phone is largely irrelevant to me. I would not care if it was a square brick or a skinny flat tablet style thing like the S3. I don't care how thin or thick it is or how fat or rounded or square it is.

Function. Period.

SO preserving its looks means nothing to me except that I prefer it be colorful. (the brighter the better)

NOW onto problem #2. protection. I "CAN NOT" afford to replace one of these phones. far far too expensive. I am tend to be pretty "rough" in the things I do. I am actually insanely "careful" with the phone (see #2) I treat it like it will break at any moment but I also "USE" it and with use comes incidents. :) I want to make it survivable in those incidents.

this means good solid protection and the nature of good solid protection means expansion of acceleration forces (G shock) the more time/distance I can spread G Shock over the more survivable the phone is.

the bigger and more dense the phone is THE MORE PROTECTION it needs. an old B&W nokia? crap you don't need a case you can just bounce it off the wall and it might shrug or just do nothing and keep going :)

these phones? FAR heavier and higher density more to damage.

SO that means big multi layered bulky cases :)

[Galaxy S III Accessories] kingston73:
Maybe some people don't want a broken phone.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] nerys71:
well that is not entirely fair. some of us "CAN" use a phone with a very low chance of dropping / abusing it.

I am not one of those :) although I am CRAZY careful with my phone "I" DO" risky things. I stick my hand out the window with the phone to get a picture at 50mph. I shoot insects that might want to disuade me from doing such things :)

I also can't use a holster (fat) and do not put it in my pocket (again fat I would sit or hit something and smash it)

so its always in my hand and prone to being dropped.

while I have not dropped my phone often I know it only takes one time to ruin my day :)

Love these wallet type cases - not a huge amount of protection - but office-life isn't too demanding so I'm not too worried!!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] nerys71:
actually as long as the wallet is "larger" than the phone those type cases are VERY protective if they "clasp shut" ie the wallet will always hit the ground first and they are VERY flexible relatively speaking. they should provide some of the overall best protection right up their and possibly superior to multi layer hybrid cases.

Ballistic Shell Gel (non-MAXX) and thin/gripy suggestions?

Ballistic Shell Gel

Front

Back

Bottom

Left

Top

Right

Oblique

This case, though, is too big. Are recommendations for thin with OK-drop protection and a strong grip? Really, I just want it small and not obstruct swiping from the edges or the home button: all things the Ballistic Shell Gel does with my use. :( Something like the elago G5 Breathe, but that covers the top/bottom?

~Ibrahim~
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kingston73:
If you want thin protection I highly recommend the dba ultra, it's just as thin as most other 'thin' cases but gives good protection.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ikjadoon:
I actually saw that one, but, this XDA review makes it look kind of thick and doesn't have good grip. :(

Thanks for the suggestion, though! :) I'm definitely thinking of getting a DBA screen protector! :D
[Galaxy S III Accessories] :
Incipio Faxion Case, it's not too thin ,it's not too thick. The grip on the back is great because the majority of it is glossy so your hands won't slip compared to matte covers. Hopefully this case along with a screen protector will prevent my S3 from breaking incase the worst happens. The S3 seems to be very fragile and prone to crack if you drop it.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kingston73:
Trust me, it's definitely not thick and the grip is very good. I have one and it's just as thin as the tpu-only case I had before and half as thick as the hybrid silicone/plastic case I have. Not only is the tpu grippy by itself, it has checkering on the sides where your fingers rest. Also, the plastic is a matte finish that is "soft touch" and doesn't slide in your hand or on most surfaces.

LOVE the look, it fits wonderfully, and it seems protective enough for me. I'm a minimalistic kind of guy with cases. Slightly slippery, but at least it is protected now. It's got a better feel in my hand than it did pre-case. I like the slight extra bulk.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] Kawirider1228:
The clear TPU case is some cheap thing I got on Amazon. It hardly gets used. The Cruzerlite has been my daily driver since the day I got the phone and has been working great. Today though, I finally got my Spigen Lumi Series Bumper. I really like how it came out!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] :
UAG Urban Armor, this has got to be my favorite case because it offers medium end protection overall, 4 reinforced corners, the lip is good in the front to offer adequate protection. The only con I have for this case is the back is slightly slightly slippery compared to rubber glossy cases. I've dropped this once on concrete so far and no damage done at all.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] diddles:
Thanks for the comment. I got the bumper off amazon, and Zagg was running a 50% off their skins, so I uploaded the image to zagg and ordered the skin. They said they don't do copywritten stuff, but they printed that one. I figure it was worth it since the skin was only $10.

The bumper is clear plastic with rubber on it. I am not sure how long it will last, but i have had it on about 3 weeks, and it still looks good. I take the phone out at least once a day for my extra battery.

I got another skin in a silver carbon fiber, but it is kind of ugly. On the plus side, i got a pair of the Zagg smartbuds for $10, and I must say they are worth the $10. It has a Single button and a slide volume controller.

FYI, I got an email today that zagg was running %50 off their skins again.
