For some reason I didn't subscribe to this thread and just saw it.

Both cases protect the camera from touching a table.

It was made for the standard Galaxy S III. Honestly I have no idea.... If other cases works with it this should.

---------- Post added at 05:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:30 AM ----------

I had 140 photo's taken just for the white version. I considered doing the blue but then Samsung released another three or four colors. I think the white is the best to show off the true color of the case. There is no way I can put up over 1000 pictures on the site.

We are developing a color chooser so people can see what a combination of TPU color and PC color will look like.

If you need greater protection get the Ultra. It's very light and very nice to hold on to. It also gives you the ability to order for half the price other colors to change the look of the case.

The Thin Grip is for people who don't like cases - after a few days you won't notice you have a case on. It has protection but it's minimal. I actually prefer this type of case myself. However the Ultra turned out so well I carry both of them with me.

The Thin Grip is .4 OZ while the Ultra is about 1 OZ. So we're talking very light.

The Ultra is just a little thicker than the slim grip.

If you pick a color I can take a picture on my fake blue S3. I don't know how close it is to the real color but it's the dummy model used at Verizon. I have only one blue but I do have three whites.

All of the other pictures are on the site. And today Amazon put nearly everything in stock.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

I believe we have most countries on the site. We have a flat shipping rate for International deliveries of $11.50.

If it doesn't work email support@dbacase.com and we'll add the country.

Also we have a brand new site coming this week which will make it much easier to order internationally hopefully with prices directly from the USPS.

---------- Post added at 05:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:44 AM ----------

The Ultra's would have shipped Friday or Monday at the latest. They all ship from a centrally located fulfillment center so the delivery is quick anywhere in the U.S.

Looking forward to your review!

Interestingly when we first built the site we didn't anticipate international orders.

However since then we've shipped to the UK, Australia, Israel, Canada and a bunch of others I can't remember because it's 6AM here.

The new site will be far more robust when it comes to shipping. However everything will still ship from our fulfillment center. They are very good at getting orders out the door as fast as possible.

Most of our stuff hit Amazon today - I don't know what they charge for international of if it's even set up. I'll look into it.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] T3hBraveBoss:
I live in Canada haha, hope I get it soon.

Just wished it had dust flaps like the otterbox :/
[Galaxy S III Accessories] chrischoi:
I hate those flaps. I don't have nails.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SSHGuru:
Dust Flaps Stink!

I've never met anyone who liked the dust flaps on cases. The first thing I do when I get one is rip them off. My wife does the same, my neighbors the same. I know some companies put them there but honestly most people hate them.

As you can see I'm completely into customer service but I'll say one thing - you won't see any dust flaps on my cases ever!:p
[Galaxy S III Accessories] T3hBraveBoss:
Well I like it because it protects sand from seeping in

And can you give me an estimate on shipping time, ordered it Monday and it's shipping to Vancouver bc Canada
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SSHGuru:
Every time I ask my fulfillment center that questions they answer 7-10 days no matter where.

It will probably arrive sooner than you think.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Norwester:
Just ordered the black one from Amazon. Same price as on the website but I've got Prime/2 day free shipping,so it should be here Saturday. You can never have too many cases! Can you? :D
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SSHGuru:
Amazon

Amazon as of today has every case we sell.

They have three kinds of screen protectors and I plan on sending them all in.

I've been Amazon Prime since it started - love it.

They are the place I go to buy most things because the prices are good, free shipping, and the reviews tell me whether it's good or not.

Speaking of reviews if you like the cases you buy please leave reviews both on my site and Amazon - Amazon is actually the most important because it ranks you higher in the search results.

The Black Thin Grip is terrific. I lean towards the silver but they are all great. I actually went through the entire Pantone color chart looking for the best colors.

Scott
[Galaxy S III Accessories] GeorgeP:
I just got the black Thin Grip a couple days ago. I've tried 5 or 6 cases and this is my favorite. Since I very rarely drop my phone and like the way the S3 looks, I was looking for a case that gave minimal protection, looked good, and improved grip. This one fits that bill better than any of the others I've tried. I think it is best looking of all the cases I've tried. It is very thin, just barely thick enough to protect the screen and cameras. In holding it, the case feels like an integral part of the phone. The back looks nice and functional with the grippy texture. It seems like a lot of work went in the design of this case.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] chrischoi:
Couldn't have said it better myself. Now just waiting on the Ultra cases!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SSHGuru:
You hit it on the head - that's how we designed it.

This is what happens when someone who actually uses cases gets to design one. I got everything I wanted in it.

Now I just need an S3 to replace my Galaxy Nexus so I can use it ;)

Here is a link to everything I have on Amazon - http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=bl_sr_wireless?_encoding=UTF8&field-brandtextbin=DBA%20CASES&node=2335752011

I need as many good reviews as I can get!

Also we have a new website up www.dbacases.com as of yesterday. So there are no reviews there either - it's a very cool site.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] Blutonic:
DBA Cases: I am seeing nothing but great reviews about your products, and am beginning to very much take an interest in them for many of my family's devices.

For the time being, I think I will stay in the loop on your website, see what other cases and screen protectors you release. Where may I ask are you located? I usually like to order from places near me for shipping and convenience sake. :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] RebDovid:
I'm a very likely customer with certain questions.

1. Regarding the screen protector, like many others I'm awaiting word on the larger size protector. Also, I'd like to know the dimensions of the current and larger protectors.

2. Regarding a case, I'm just now using the shipping charges only ZooGue case while trying to decide on a more protective one. Both the Thin Grip and the Ultra appeal. It would help me decide to know in more detail how the two cases compare in protectiveness and size/bulk. Also, what are each case's key competitors/comparables?

Finally, I want to thank you for your active participation in these threads.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jasvncnt1:
How long is the code good for?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] chrischoi:
1. The current size covers just the screen.

2. Thin Grip, just can't compare it to anything. The closest thing is maybe a Incipio Feather. The quality is far superior, the finish is more durable and it won't just crack like the Feather did on me many times. Minimal case, protects from wear and sliding around. The top and bottom are slightly exposed.

The Ultra could be like a Incipio Silicrylic / Seidio Active. I believe it is a thinner product. I will know within the next couple days and will post a review, pictures and hopefully get a video done ASAP. The nice thing about the Ultra is that it's the same hard shell as the Thin Grip and the inside liner is TPU and not rubber. Rubber attracts lint and dust. It will be pocket friendly. Scott will give a better answer. I'll go more indepth once I have it in my hands.

I believe the code is good for the month.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] RebDovid:
Thank you. I'll await your review of the Ultra with interest.

Based on your description of the Thin Grip, I don't think I'd need it in addition to a more protective case and the ZooGue, which is still available for just the cost of shipping--just under $6.00 for two cases). (I got the black, which goes quite well with my blue S3. The case fits well. It raises the phone above a flat surface, protecting both the front and back sides. I'd expect drop protection to be minimal. It has good grippiness on the sides; slides easily into and out of my pocket; and, so far, being made of a "special TPU," it has not attracted dust or lint.)

Regarding the screen protector, do you have any information regarding the size of the larger product?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] chrischoi:
Scott will have more of an answer to that question. I just did the reviews. :)

One thing I can tell you is the quality of materials is much higher than just TPU. It's the hard shell case that makes it awesome.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kdepro:
No it wont!

---------- Post added at 10:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:40 PM ----------

I REALLY REALLY REALLY like this case. I have the blue sgs iii with the white thingrip case, but it isn't as durable as I expected. Before I start in on details, I want to be clear: I do highly recommend this case if you want to protect your phone, but don't want the bulk on an already larger mobile device.

That being said, I was working on my transmission the other day, and dropped my phone while reaching for a ratchet. It fell from just above waist height (I'm approximately 72-73 inches tall).

It's a bit hard to see with the picture (iSight is the only thing I've got for photos other than my phone), but it cracked nearly all the way through.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SSHGuru:
That picture really disturbs me. I've been sitting here looking at it...

On one hand one of the purposes of a case is to save the phone when it's dropped.

On the other hand I don't like where it cracked.

How long have you had it and how many times have you taken it off and put it on again?

By the way the Ultra would have dented the cement :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kdepro:
***************** EDIT ********************

* *

* I just bought an ultra in gray/slate *

* *

*********************************************

i dont think i took it off more than once or twice before it broke, and i've taken it off once (now) since then.

I bought it from the dba site on 9/26.

I'll probably end up buying a new one. I really should get the ultra, but I can't stand the bulk.

the thin grip really is a fantastic case if you like the minimalist cases. ill probably end up buying another one.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] IAmRelex:
I just ordered the blue case, I'll post back with my thoughts on it once I get it.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SSHGuru:
Ask some of the Ultra owners here - it's a very thin case for what it is.

I am a minimalist when it comes to cases which is why the Thin Grip exists. And I didn't want a bulky protective case which is why the Ultra is made the way it is.

You may decide the Ultra is more to your taste and it won't break if you drop it.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] eKulzz:
How much grip does it actually have? I used to have a cheap 5 dollar gel case, it was really floppy and loose, and it was the hardest thing ever to slide into my pocket as it got stuck on all the fabric in my jeans. But it was very easy to grip and I never dropped it.

Now I have the Spigen Ultra Thin Air case, it's much easier to grip than having no case but I find it a bit slippery, I've already dropped it jumping out the car and it got a couple of scratches but I'm lookin for something that is super easy to hold (especially when I'm sweating at the gym changing music and writing in workout notes) but is slippery enough to slide in and out my pocket
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SSHGuru:
The Thin Grip is not slippery or I would have called it the slippery grip. However at the same time the grip is not something we went overboard on. Its enough to not have it slip out of your hands and you won't even notice it's on after a day or two.

The Ultra has a great grip on the sides where the TPU is - TPU is much easier to put a grip on than polycarbonate and I designed the grip so you could hold it and shake it and it won't slip out of your hand. But I've had them in my pocket and there is no problem at all.

Both cases are about as tight as humanly possible to put on the phone. Watch the last review or two - the reviewer had to take off his back protection to put the Ultra on - it seems like one case once you put the parts together.

It sound like you need something you can drop - that would be the Ultra. You will be shocked at how light and thin it is and it offers great protection.

Scott
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ikjadoon:
Swipe from the edges?

Quick question for owners of the Thin Grip: How is swiping from the edges? That is, how high is the lip? Can you swipe readily every time or once in a while, you get caught by the case?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SSHGuru:
The Thin Grip is as close to you having no case on your phone at all. You won't ever get caught from the case.

Scott
[Galaxy S III Accessories] thendless:
I don't usually write reviews but have to say this case is pretty awesome. I recieved my rock case a week earlier and thought I made a mistake getting the DBA case however I have to say it feels much better in the hand (as if it is part of the ph one wtih the rock I didn't feel this way) and I love the feeling of the material.

If you are looking for a slim case this should definitely be on your list to consider.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] thendless:
i went to take off my case yesterday I noticed this:

I never dropped the phone since I had the case so i have no idea how that happened (maybe when the case was removed before from flexing it too much?)

That area looks like a definite weak point in the case so it isnt a total suprise it cracked there but kinda blows since I have only had the case for a week :( I still love this case however and recommend it but it is appears to be more fragile than originally thought.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SSHGuru:
That's a known issue. A small percentage of the thin grip have a weak spot there.

Send me an email at Scott@dbacases.com and I will replace it.

Scott
[Galaxy S III Accessories] thendless:
Oh wow that was totally unexpected... i'll shoot you a message.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] WarCow:
Thx for the review, just ordered one in white for my white SG3 :)

I was looking for something similar in size to the Feather but like you I needed something more durable and with better grip also. This one sounds like it should fit the bill..can't wait to try it out :)

And thx for the heads up with the 20% discount code!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] chrischoi:
Scott continues to surprise me day after day. His commitment far exceeds any other companies service.

I can say for mine I've taken it off many times and I'm pretty rough on it. I have yet to see any fracturing.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SSHGuru:
Since we are making iPhone 5 cases very soon we need to find out why some fracture like that.

Theory is either the polycarbonate or the paint/chemicals.

I have people working on it in China but they can't figure it out...

I have a bunch of Thin Grip's here and I can abuse them and they don't break. However I had one break just like that in pre-production.

If anyone can solve this mystery I'll give ya a case.:confused:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] WarCow:
Received my white Thin Grip today. Ordered it last friday so 7 days delivery time from the US to Denmark is pretty good :)

So far I'm very pleased with it. Impressed with the strength of the material which still manages to stay quite thin. Also loving the textured sides that really help with the grip. The material is really lovely to hold and touch.

Exactly what i was looking for in a case..light weight and doesn't add bulk. Fine for protecting against scratches on the back cover and giving more grip.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SSHGuru:
Great to hear! I actually got my second investor to do the iPhone 5 just because he loved the Thin Grip.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] Ziuck:
I've had my Thin Grip for a couple of weeks. The top corner has chipped and broken. It's the part that is even with the screen.

I haven't dropped it! Not sure how it happened.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] WarCow:
Send them an email and ask about it since they mentioned in this thread that a small percentage of their cases had some manufacturing issues and broke easily.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SSHGuru:
The cases that have a manufacturing defect break from the top over the camera port down to the camera port itself. Not many have the problem but it's so easy to spot that I replace them.

I looked at a picture of this one and I can't honestly figure out if it's a defect of if something happened to it (keys, who knows).

However I'll handle it the best we can like we always do.

Scott
[Galaxy S III Accessories] WarCow:

The people who have the Thin Grips are addicted to them. Some own 3 colors.

However if you need protection the Ultra is the way to go.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ARchamps:
Just ordered!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] gcogger:
Any deals or discounts on at the moment? They're looking a little pricey when shipped to the UK - not your fault, of course :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SSHGuru:
Well if you lived closer we wouldn't have this problem!

If you use the code Olympics at checkout it will give you 20% off.

However we put up a new site last night and it's buggy.

If you can't check out the first time don't try again until we fix it. It's worked for most people but if you try three times then it won't let you try again for some period of time.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] gcogger:
Thanks - I didn't realize that code still worked :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SSHGuru:
It was programmed to work just once per person.

So on Amazon it's that way.

On my site it seems to have "issues"

Don't tell anyone.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] gcogger:
Well, I had no issues on your site - I just ordered the case and a screen protector and the code worked just fine.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SSHGuru:
The site is fine - I checked with Paypal. It was a customer issue.

However we are still fixing some stuff that's missing or not working right.

It should be 99%.

http://www.dbacases.com
[Galaxy S III Accessories] WarCow:
Good one, just ordered the Ultra on your Black Friday sale :) White PC and white TPU on white S3 = awesomeness.

My Thin Grip already has a few battle scars, but it has protected the phone perfectly so far..not a scratch on it itself. I'm dropping this phone much more than my previous phones (it's just so damn large), so i think it would be wise to invest in something that protects it more than the Thin Grip. Too bad though, since i loved that grippy texture on it, but i hear and see from pics that the Ultra has something similar on the sides, so looking forward to trying it out.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SSHGuru:
The Ultra has a great grip as well. It's kind of our company thing - if it has a grip you won't drop it as much.

The big difference is size and protection.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] WarCow:
Indeed, i never once dropped the phone while it was in my hand with the Thin Grip on :) But laying on the table, bed, in the car etc..that's a different story :D It has a mind of its own..my S3 might be suicidal
