[Galaxy S III Accessories] uberNoobZA:
Didn't see a review for this case up here yet, so thought I'd make one.

I saw this case on Amazon (http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B008E9T442/ref=pe_217191_31005151_dp_1) and it had mostly good reviews, so went ahead and ordered one, paying £7.95 + shipping

What I like -

Extra bulk/weight (or lack thereof)

- Looking at the images of the case on Amazon I had suspicions that this would add a lot of bulk and weight to the phone, especially looking at the 'raised' sections on the inside front cover, used for when the cover is in 'stand' mode. Surprisingly, it does not really. Even though it covers your phone back and front, it does not feel bulky like some other cases do, and the raised sections on the inside front cover actually act as an extra bit of cushioning for the screen, giving a bit more protection from drops. The phone still fits nicely in my pocket and I can hardly tell the difference with or without the cover.

The Fit

- The cover fits very nicely on my S3. The corner clips hold the phone snugly, but not so tightly that it is difficult to get the phone out of the cover if you want to.

The 'Feel'

- The cover has a nice feel to it. It feels as if it's soft leather though it isn't (as far as I can tell), and it sits nicely in the hand. The way the case is slightly bigger than the phone adds 'protruding edges' that your fingers grip nicely on, and that means that you are less likely to let the phone slip from your hand.

Design / logos

- The design of the case (imho) is quite nice and not at all flashy. I think Poetic have gone for a more 'functional' look than anything else. There is a Poetic logo on hte front of the case, but you hardly even notice it. One thing I was also concerned about when I first ordered was that the 'stand/hinge' on the back of the case would add an uneven 'lump' to the shape of the case. It does not. At all. Poetic did a great job of designing this case.

Integrated Stand

- I bought myself one of these covers for my Nexus 7 and I really like the integrated stand. It's really handy when I put my tablet on charge in landscape and watch videos, read, browse web etc. The only issue I have with that case is that the 'corner clips' that you have to undo when you open the stand will probably wear over time. With the Poetic HardBack case, this is not a problem, as you do not have to unclip the corners holding the phone when you open the stand. When in stand mode, the case holds the phone at a great angle for you to use the phone for videos, reading, music etc. Obviously (like with any other stand / dock for landscape mode) you will not have access to the volume buttons when the case is open in stand mode.

Operation

- Opening and closing is simple enough, though can be a little fiddly when trying to do it one handed.

Compatiblity

- It fits the phone perfectly and has spaces in all the right places allowing access to camers, flash, speaker, microphone, headphone jack, volume, power etc.

Build Quality

- It looks like a well made case, with clean, even stitching and no edges protruding where they shouldn't. Backed by a three year manufacturer's warranty, I will most likely get a new phone before I need to buy a new cover.

What I don't like

- Nothing :)
