I just bought the sparkling blue bumper for my pebble blue s3. Wasn't sure if it'd go with the phone colouring or if it'd look too girly (like if in real life it was something more like a powder blue) as there weren't any decent photos of it in a blue s3. Took the risk anyway and am glad i did!

This is an excellent bumper case so far. Comfortable to hold, adds minimal bulk, isn't "sticky" so is easy to pull out of pockets, and covers all corners unlike a lot of other bumpers I've seen.

Colour matching is probably as good as can be expected with a pebble blue, and it's not a girly blue IMO, looks fairly sporty :)

It's a little sharp around the front but not so much so that it's an issue, and is comfortable against the ear when making calls and holding it in general.

Buttons on the side for volume and power are very easy to press and have a satisfying feeling.

Cutouts are well aligned, and the edges of these are nice and smooth with no sharp bits that feel uncomfortable when holding.

I've not put the screen protectors on yet but they're a bonus to have.

Cost me £15 from the sgp store on Amazon and arrived next day - faultless service and definitely recommend.

I've attached some photos so those of you with the pebble blue can decide if it's to your tastes or not. Sorry about the quality, only had my S2 to hand.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] angeliou:
yes, tested!! :good:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] angeliou:
nice!!! thanks for the feedback!! enjoy your case mate, i am sure you love it already :D
[Galaxy S III Accessories] htcsnap93:
I want the orange one! But when i try to order it says it isbout of stock
[Galaxy S III Accessories] angeliou:
bad luck. try next week, they will have in stock probably :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ricktat:
I kinda wanted the white. Its out of stock at Spigen and Amazon. Now I really want it.:p:cyclops:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] angeliou:
hehehe. i guess you have to wait a couple of days!! i will email SGP today to find out when they will have in stock and if they respond me, i will inform you :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Kawirider1228:
I want Shining Grass so bad but its out of stock. I emailed them and the women told me they have no OTA on shipment :(
[Galaxy S III Accessories] angeliou:
Too bad man. I emailed them too but they havent reply to me yet. Lets hope that they will have them in stock asap :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] b0gd4n:
Eermmm... Ebay?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] htcsnap93:
Link for green or orange bumper? I already checked and couldnt find it

Couldn't find the orange one...

this is from the color series. did you want the one from lumi? couldn't find that one either :D
[Galaxy S III Accessories] htcsnap93:
Want the lumi :P already mailed spigen.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ImSeb:
Great review, thanks for all the photos and explanations
[Galaxy S III Accessories] clninja:
I plan on buying the lumi when it is available.. then gonna wrap the exposed battery cover in white carbon fiber
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jayrod88:
I want this in white but as others said, it's out of stock. I prefer to buy it on Amazon for my 2 day prime shipping.

Sent from my Galaxy S3
[Galaxy S III Accessories] demandarin:
I have to say, that's likely the best looking case I've ever seen for a phone. Too bad my Hyperion 4200+ mAh extended battery w/new back cover arrives tomorrow. OR else I would want this. I have a nice hard plastic 2 piece bumper case for mines but this case you have blows it away. Very nice looking case. HIGH QUALITY. Love it. I might still check it out for when I'm not rocking the extended battery.

Thanks for the heads up OP.

I just checked the link, its only 21.99. Damn...I was thinking it would be way more expensive when you said pricey. Like otterbox expensive. Hmmm...I think I will get me one soon ;)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mpetruzz:
I bought this case along with the lumi neo hybrid. Both cases are extremely nice. I am going to go with the lumi however.

Two main reasons. 1-the bumper has extremely small front screen protection, not a huge deal though. 2-the case I had was "untrimmed" maybe the only way too put it. Where the white hard plastic met the tpu there was a little extra piece that went all the way around the phone. It was so uncomfortable that after a few minutes of holding the phone my palm was red and scratched.

I think they're both great cases and I'm sure mine was just a bad one. I went with the neo cause I bring mine to the gym and other places where the added back protection might be helpful.

sent from my blue police box flying through time!!!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] angeliou:
i said that for someone the price MAY be pricey hehe. i am glad that you liked it :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] angeliou:
i think that this case it as comfortlable as ur phone. maybe they sent you a faulty one.

also the bumper lumi series has protectors front and back so the phone is still protected from scratches and drops (on straight floor not road ) :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mpetruzz:
I do think it was a faulty one.

I agree that it provides protection. Bit the neo hybrids has a tpu 'case' that goes around the sides and entire back. Plus the hard plastic piece for added side and corner protection.

The bumper case does not have that same level. It doesn't have that added layer of tpu coverage.

I think they're both great cases, but for me the neo hybrid is a better option.

sent from my blue police box flying through time!!!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] angeliou:
agreed but for someone like me, who wants a thin case, i would pink the lumi bumper any day :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ricktat:
So I guess they haven't got back with a time frome for anyone who emailed.

Anyone try to call?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] htcsnap93:
Im not calling to america from europe just for a case. Replyed on facebook and emailed on the whereabouts. No reaction at all.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] azelaya:
I think I finally found a case to settle down with today when I got my lumi bumper in the mail today. The case just feel great in your hands and doesnt take away from the form of the phone too much. Its a great plus that they add both a front and rear screen protector.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] angeliou:
thats exacly my point of view :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] chrisbass:
Random question......Anyone think this will work with the seido extended battery? I have a Hyperion 4200 but didn't like the battery cover so I picked up a seidio back for $15. It's shaped differently and looks as though this case might fit it. Any guesses?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] angeliou:
it wont work because with my aluminum back cover, it is a tight fit. so, with the sedio extended battery it will not work :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] angeliou:
hey mate. i dont think is the same case because the lumi series has 2 materials on it. the grey part of the case is made from tpu and the white part with the buttons are made by plastic. i also read couple of reviews for the color series, and i find out that the side buttons have problem on pressing. In my opinion get the ultra lumi bumper. its worth the wait!! :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] daniel60104:
jw, where did you guys get your aluminum backcovers?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] htcsnap93:
Ebay.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ryzilla23:
I had the same issue and had to return the case to Spigen. The area around the body of the case where the mold seam was, it was all jagged and I couldn't hold the case without it being uncomfortable. I loved the design and the feel of the materials, but couldn't get past that issue.

To their credit, Spigen said I could try to trim it myself and would still accept the return. I tried an emery board and tried melting it to no avail.

---------- Post added at 08:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:44 AM ----------

These bumpers are all just a TPU, the buttons are plastic. That band you see that is colored is not a hard plastic like it is on the neo hybrid.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] angeliou:
***UPDATE*** I emailed SGP Spigen and asked them when this beautiful case will be back in stock, and this is the response i got:

"We are still unsure when we will be receiving new shipments of the Ultra Bumper from our manufacturers and they haven't given us an ETA yet.* As soon as they inform us, I will be sure to send you an email".

So anyone who wants this case, HOLD on :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] htcsnap93:
Why is this an update?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] xXJay_RXx:


How is it not an update tho? He's informing us on what SGP has to say on the situation. Unless the meaning of the word changed that I don't know about, sounds like an update to me
[Galaxy S III Accessories] htcsnap93:

My quote broke. In my oppinion an update is new information. This is not new at all. There are even more accurate posts before this mentioning a 2 week hold up....
[Galaxy S III Accessories] xXJay_RXx:
Ah I guess I should have read back some. These bumpers never really interested me. Bumper cases look good on the iphones but not really on the S3. That's in my opinion at least
[Galaxy S III Accessories] angeliou:
this bumper looks sweet on our s3 :D
[Galaxy S III Accessories] aNYthing24:
Seems to be back on the site, if anyone is interested.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] geoldr:
They are selling it on Amazon prime, and I would be it right now except that the white color is not on prime! And I have to pay an extra 6 bucks for 1-3 day shipping. Ill have to wait until the white / gray color is offered on Prime.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] clninja:
I think this being out of stock is a good thing .. made me wait for the element case
[Galaxy S III Accessories] geoldr:
What is the element case?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Xcor3:
What if you dropped your phone with the element case on, would the $100 price tag be worth it?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] b0gd4n:
hey angeliou.

I just got my aluminium back cover and I wanted to ask you a question:

does your bumper fit perfectly with the back cover? Cause mine doesn't. I can barely press the power button.

Although this button didn't work properly on the phone with the normal back cover, but now I can't feel the feedback at all; I just need to press it really hard to make it work.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] angeliou:
yes it works just fine. try again to fit the back cover. mine works as good as the oem back cover.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] clninja:
Actually.. yes

Only a few of their cases are that expensive... the s3 case would be about 50

And I think it would have better protection
[Galaxy S III Accessories] b0gd4n:
yeah...i don't know...they don't fit well together...the back cover is ok..i think.

the thing is that the bumper, even with the original back cover, the power button didn't work properly..it was ok..but not perfect like the volume ones.

but now, the power button barely works, and the volume ones are not great at all :(

was really looking forward to get this combination...but now..:(
[Galaxy S III Accessories] angeliou:
try to contact with spigens support and request a replacement. mine is perfectly fine both power and volume buttons.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] stargtsi:
I'm having issues with the volume up I can push all other buttons fine just no up volume
[Galaxy S III Accessories] angeliou:
no problem here mate. everything works as it should be. try to re put the case on the left or right side instead of up or botton of the phone.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] agarp:
Bought one today after going through this thread

Thanks man
[Galaxy S III Accessories] angeliou:
i am glad i have helped :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] htcsnap93:
Orderd one too. Orange one.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] azelaya:
Wondering if anyone with a Verizon version of the s3 is having problems ? I have AT&T version and my friend has a Verizon version supposedly they're the same dimensions but the case works great with mine and it seems like the buttons don't line up with his.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] stargtsi:
mine is the tmobile version and having the volume up issue. I contact spigen this weekend waiting on a response
[Galaxy S III Accessories] dnguyen1988:
I also just received my case and I am with tmobile and the volume up doesn't work. I have you heard back from spigen?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] crushingyen:
My friend got one of these. I got the Ultra Thin Air, though; regardless, Spigen cases are pretty top notch.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] stargtsi:
emailed them still no response as of yet
[Galaxy S III Accessories] dnguyen1988:
Weird I emailed them and they responded pretty quick. They're sending me another one
[Galaxy S III Accessories] vw671:
My buttons work perfectly.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] htcsnap93:
Im sowieso excited to get mine
[Galaxy S III Accessories] stargtsi:
they finally responded they asked for proof it doesnt work so I have to make a video for them geez
[Galaxy S III Accessories] b0gd4n:
I've just the case back to the supplier I bought it from.

Now let's see if they'll send another one.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] cakahraman:
Same here.. Still waiting..
[Galaxy S III Accessories] dnguyen1988:
Whoa that's weird I just sent an email explaining the issue and right away they responded and offered to send another one.

I received the new one and it works perfectly
[Galaxy S III Accessories] htcsnap93:
Stargtsi, did you Buy at spigen. Com?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Kawirider1228:
I got my Shining Grass today guys. Looks awesome and the buttons work well.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] azelaya:
I have the same combo and since I've put these 2 together I haven't shopped for another case lol at least for now.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Kawirider1228:
I love the green.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ikenvape:
Thanks! Just ordered one for my Sprint gs3,I love my seido active, though it doesn't play nice with the wireless charging stone. Will report back in about a month? :laugh:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] htcsnap93:
Wow the green is awesome! Can, t wat for my dazzling orange.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] stargtsi:
I got mine from there amazon store
[Galaxy S III Accessories] htcsnap93:
I love it!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] angeliou:
it looks gorgeous. :D
[Galaxy S III Accessories] AndroidFTW11:
Where did you get the brushed aluminum back? I did a Google search and didn't find a replacement back. In assuming it is simply a battery door replacing the stock white one, is that correct?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Sepharite:
The pics look amazing.

But does anyone have this bumper with a Tempered Glass Screen protector?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ultra_nyamuk:
Ultra Bumper Drop

So anyone dropped their phone with the ultra bumper on? How's the drop protection? im concerned especially about the screen since its pretty fragile.

Anyone care to share ?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] htcsnap93:
If i recall it right this video shows with the glass protector.

So I just got my SGP Lumi in the mail.

It's garbage.

Volume up and power do not work. What gives?

edit: I got power to work but not vol+.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] htcsnap93:
Working fine here. Where did you order it?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Sepharite:
An authorized seller from Ebay.

Maybe I should've just bought it from Spigen.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] Sepharite:
The phone is authentic, just verified it. The bumper is absolutely BEAUTIFUL, i love it. I will find a way to fix the volume keys... maybe put some cotton or tape in it.

---------- Post added at 11:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:56 PM ----------

Sad, but I used the cleaning cloth that came with it. Cut it into a long strip and placed it on the left side of the case. Fixed it. I'm going to glue it there after a couple of days of testing.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] blazevxi:
I picked up it yesterday, took a bit of time to get the buttons working but they work fine. Volume is a bit fiddly because its a bit hard to press but it all works.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] b0gd4n:
I just got the replacement today.

It's better, but not perfect. When I put the aluminium back cover, it's worse. There is no feedback on the power button, but it works better than the previous one.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] htcsnap93:
If you are using a difderent back cover i have no pitt for you, never the less it is strange, i have the orange one and it works perfect. Every button has a very nice click when you press it.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Sepharite:
After fixing the buttons, this is hands down the best looking case I've seen and felt.

Feels extremely solid in the hands, with a snug fit. I especially love the white, grey, white tone on my White S3. I'll need to get a glass screen protector to fully protect my S3 now.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] b0gd4n:
Fixing the buttons? How?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Sepharite:
I cut a small strip of the microfibre cloth that it came with, and placed it all along the left wall covering the volume keys. I haven't really experimented with the length but it works perfectly, and you can't even tell there' a clothe.

I attached an image.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jayrod88:
Where & when did you order your case from? I just received mine today and it seems a bit iffy. Especially the volume up button.

Btw I ordered mine from Amazon with 2 day prime shipping. It was ordered Thursday morning. I'll mess with it a bit now to see if it gets better. I really like the style of the case but it needs to be functional.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] m8980:
Hey!

I've bought the bumper on spg website. And what can i say? The buttons are working great and it looks awesome.

What I need now is a new car cradle. The old one doesn't fit with the new bumper. Does Anyone has a recommendation for that?

Sent from my Galaxy S3
[Galaxy S III Accessories] stargtsi:
Yea works as it should haven't sent them back the not working one yet gotta get on that
[Galaxy S III Accessories] b0gd4n:
Where did you get the back cover from? I think it's the one I got that affects the buttons with this case.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] vw671:
I can confirm this. Using any rear cover thicker than OEM will mis-align the buttons, the power button is more prone to issues.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Xcor3:
I just want to address something about some people having buttons issues. When I first got my lumi bumper case, I was having the same problem as you guys. But I give out that it's because my phones volume button is lose which cause the problem with the case on. I requested a replacement from T-Mobile and the new phone with a firm volume button fixed the issue.

a question tho, anyone using any dock that fits with this bumper on? was previously using the Zenis Galaxy S2 dock and it no longer fits

I just did the same thing, with a strip that does gown the whole length of the bumper. Works perfectly, where before Vol Up did not work AT ALL.

Thanks for the tip, love the looks of this case, but was just about to return it...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Senrir:
How are the buttons' sensitivity? (volume and power)

- With my previous spigen product - Neo Hybrid. The sensitivity is way too high, that the volume and power buttons get triggered randomly in my pocket.

How is the drop protection? for the camera?

How is it compared to Modello? If someone has tried that spigen case.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] htcsnap93:
after 5 weeks or something i still use this as my daily case.

I only change it when going mountainbiking.

my buttons are working very nice, good reaction and natural feel!!

i dropped the phone twice, on a hard wooden floor from breast hight but not a **** was given. it holds up like a charm.

ur positive its not a girly blue? im really deciding between the blue or white for my pebble blue phone
[Galaxy S III Accessories] al3co:
I had the same dilemma, but was put off white as thought it would show up dirt/discolour more easily.

It's definitely not a girly powder blue, but not super macho like a dark blue would be. After using it since my post I stand by sporty blue as the best way I can describe it.

I don't think you'd go wrong with either colour really!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] htcsnap93:
Love this case, my phone flipped out of my pocket while I was on the stairs. Fell all the down down from the top level on a hard wooden floor. No need for an otterbox. Sleek and sexy
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Mr Woolf:
I wish somebody would have mentioned that this is the worlds slippiest case before I shelled out and bought it.

Mine also came with a nasty sharp lip all round the case.

Most unimpressed.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] htcsnap93:
Then you have very girly hands, i noticed the lip but it faded away. Also you are buying a TPU case so what did you expect ? I find the ottherbox or a nude s3 more slippier.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] SteveWozniak:
I'm very disappointed in my Spigen case, the colored bumper part snapped, it looks like it's made from cheap recycled abs (the cheapest plastic around). I also thought it was a bit loose around the sides. It looked great until it broke, I glued it with some backing but it just isn't the same. Thank god I only paid $7 for it.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] chrischoi:
Are you sure yours was authentic? There is a huge difference in quality.

The real one doesn't have a removable border like the Neo Hybrid. The fake ones do. You can't buy the counterfeit item for $7 when it's not even the same design then say it sucks. You never even bought the Spigen case. Enter Mainland China. They get you every time.

I ordered a white and orange. It's gonna be awesome.
