Sorry I forgot to add that, It is TPU then a hard case shell on top

Quick quote from their site

"The Ultra is made of two pieces: 1) An advanced polycarbonate mix that allows better shock absorption and better durability and 2) TPU which surrounds the case making sure that if it’s dropped, the case will protect your phone from damage."

and it is very similar to it, but it cannot copy the "pebble-ness" if I can say but it is still very good and well constructed
[Galaxy S III Accessories] UChoudhari:
Hmm.

With the 20% discount it clocks in at 20 dollars. I might actually try this out.

Originally I was going to spring for the UAG, but it's too expensive for my tastes atleast currently.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] T3hBraveBoss:
I also ordered that too, but if you are looking for more a sleek robust style I would choose this case itself rather than having a industrialized look.

I just bought the UAG for kicks but this DBA case is for serious everyday usage
[Galaxy S III Accessories] RebDovid:
Thank you for your review. Are you saying that the ultra is about as protective as the commuter? Also, I didn't understand whether you're saying the ultra or the commuter may be more durable.

Finally, do you think that the DBA screen protector, when combined with the ultra, gives adequate coverage and protection? Or, should one wait for a larger DBA screen protector?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] T3hBraveBoss:
from what it appears it can protect from drops (unsure for the display, further usage is required)

also I do not own the DBA Just like Glass, I use the ZAGG invisbleSHIELD HD its served me well for past devices ( iPhone 4,4S and others)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] RebDovid:
How well do you think the ultra can protect from drops in comparison to the commuter?

Can you say which case is better made or likely to be more durable?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] T3hBraveBoss:
Well of course for durability the otterbox wins hands down they both have tremendous build quality

The complete ultra will be able to sustain falls on par with the commuter but unsure for display falls as the lip is not as tall

repost of Amazon review

I just posted a review for this case on Amazon. I also really like this case. Here is a copy of the review...

This review covers both part of the DBA Ultra case: the Ultra TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) & the outer Ultra PC (Polycarbonate) shell. Both parts are needed to build-up a proper case. This review has been copied to the entries which make-up both parts of the case.

It might be a little confusing that you have to order two separate parts to build-up a case, but the big advantage is you can choose the colors for each part and get just the look you desire. You can also order additional individual parts and change the look without buying a whole new case. Well worth it in my opinion.

This is my third case for the S3 having first used the Spigen-SGP Neo Hybrid and then the Incipio Silicrylic Hard Shell Case which is also two parts, but with only pre-configured colors. The Incipio uses a silicon/PC combo whereas the DBA is TPU/PC. The DBA is more form fitting, a bit less bulky, but still just as easy to install and remains in place better than the Incipio. Both cases offer good protection, in all the same areas. Both come up over the top of the front bezel offering some protection for the top side as well. The DBA seems to cut into the top bezel a bit less than the Incipio. There is much discussion of some cases interfering with the fit of screen protectors on the S3, so the DBA may have an advantage here depending our your particular screen protector. The Spigen-SGP Neo Hybrid was returned as it was unusable. With this case the volume-up button was always actuated no matter how you tried to fit the case to the phone; a complete failure.

The reason I originally looked for a different case is because I was forever accidentally hitting the volume buttons with the Incipio. The Incipio has silicon coverings over the volume and power buttons. It makes them easy to actuate, which is good, but also has the side effect of making them too easy to press accidentally. This is exasperated because I'm left handed so hold the phone in my right hand. This is more a design compromise with the phone itself, but lefties are always learning to make the best of different design consequences. In contrast, the DBA has openings in the TPU piece around those same buttons so the actual buttons are recessed vs. sitting above the rest of the case with the Incipio. I still accidentally hit the volume buttons, but much less frequently.

All the openings in the TPU part line up nicely with the features on the phone. The size of the openings for micro-USB and the headphones connectors fit the cables I own, however the over-molding on one USB cable from Monoprice just fits by a hair. The PC part also fits over the TPU part well. In use, the TPU part gives a secure grip on the phone. So far, the PC part (white color) has stayed clean whereas the Incipio PC (also white) seemed to pick up some black discoloration in spots which wouldn't come off (only time will tell how the DBA does in this regard). Overall, this is the best case I've used for the S3.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] RebDovid:
Thank you for your review. Can you comment regarding how protective and how durable the ultra is likely to be? Also, how much room does it leave for a screen protector?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] larry62:
Tough to answer the question about how protective it will be. I think it's in the same general class as the Incipio. It tries to provide good protection against some types of falls, but isn't pretending to be bulletproof. You very much feel like your holding and using your phone rather than a phone embedded in another sub-system one step removed from the phone itself. Don't have the resources to drop my phone in various situations or drag it behind a car like you see in some on-line reviews, so all this is based on a "sense" of how it will perform. Obviously, if the phone falls and the screen hits a rock face-on it won't help.

My current screen protector (junky one Verizon sells) doesn't come close to the bezel edge. I'd say the TPU part of the case wraps around the top enough to stay put, but not any more than that. A bit less top wrap-over than the Incipio, so should work better for some of those fuller size protectors. Probably a tiny bit less top protection (refief off the bezel) than the Incipio, but it still protects from placing the phone screen down on a table. I like the design compromises DBA has done. My only wish is that the power button opening was rounded out a tiny amount to make it easier for a lefty to press it with their thumb. Tooling is expensive, so I wouldn't expect to see this change.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] T3hBraveBoss:
This guy got it going on, he is correct it does feel this case is apart of the phone
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Tellymon:
Excellent reviews and information here, this is the kind of stuff people need to allow them to make a decision. I might just go trying out one of these Ultra's myself.

If anyone orders the white Polycarbonate outer case from DBA, please let me know how the finish is and if it gets dirty or not. I cannot for the life of my understand why all these companys make white cases that turn brown with fingerprints and crap....they oughta just fork out the money for a nice clearcoat like the white SGS3 has that prevents it from getting dirty. I'd really like a snow white on white Ultra if it can retain its color.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] T3hBraveBoss:
I can tell you with the blue finish used, it doesn't scratch very easily
[Galaxy S III Accessories] larry62:
I have the snow white PC. Have had it about a week now, and so far it isn't getting dirty. Within minutes my previous Incipio seemed to attract black grime out of thin air which couldn't be removed. Tried regular cleaners and even electronic grade alcohol (almost 100% pure) and it wouldn't clean. To be honest, we'll need several weeks or longer to really tell how the DBA holds up. Hasn't been long enough yet.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] stretched:
$20 is cheap. Have you dropped it yet? Does the case stay together?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] T3hBraveBoss:
I actaully did drop it, from a far height and sustained the drop very well and it's very durable due to the 2 part construction of tpu and polycarbonate
[Galaxy S III Accessories] rodger-sp:
DBA is sending me 4 of the ultra case line in a variety of colors I will update when they arrive. I will have a full review of the thin grip cases as well.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] texas_born:
Yes it's their packaging so i think it's their fault also. Just wanted your opinion first. Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kingston73:
Thanks for the suggestion, never would have thought of oxyclean. I just ordered a red outer but I really like your black/white combo.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] g2uzer:
So you guys are still happy with your cases? After reading thru a lot of these pages I'm thinking of getting one ^_^

So have some of you dropped your phones? Results?and about the screen protector, Will it help if the phone falls and lands on its corner or only helps if the screen is directly impact?

I was waiting to get a oem Samsung 2 pc case but they haven't gotten any back on stock, but it sounds like this case might offer better protection.

Last weekend we shot some video's testing the Just Like Glass durability and the Ultra's.

I threw them up in the air, threw it against a hurricane window and let it bounce off and hit the ground. No damage.

Sure - anyone can write a review on Amazon. With Amazon you need a good amount of reviews for customers to buy things. That's why I always ask.

I wasn't working because with Dropbox you can't share with the public.

So I spent the last 2 hours putting them all on Imageshack and re-doing the entire 30 pictures.

It's a bit messy but you can see them all very well without having to blow them up.

There are some very cool combo's you can make.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] zavex:
Thanks for the nice sale. Picked up two cases and screen protectors.

Question about your amazon listing, have you considered setting up parent/child relationships for your ASINs? It would make it easier to see all the color options in one place. I think it would also help consolidate the reviews, instead of getting them spread out across multiple items.

edit: I ordered directly from your site, but the above advice would be a great help for you i think. good luck! nice to see a startup become successful
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SSHGuru:
Thanks for the suggestion.

This is the problem...

"Not every category supports both parent/child and accessory relationships, so review the comparison table to see if relationships are an option for your product category."

Welcome to my world... :(
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ddurandSGS3:
yeah its too bad!

one other suggestion i thought might be convenient is a simulator with the options! The combinations tab works but all of the pictures dont. but you knew that i think. other than that im real excited to get my case in.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SSHGuru:
Not all the pictures show up?

Is anyone else having this issue?

We tried to do a combinations with a simulator and a one click purchase. It's harder than you think.

We'll get it right eventually :good:

I'm not the type to give up so I wrote Amazon - this is the reply...

"Dear Scott,

Warm Greetings!

I understand that you would like to know if sellers are allowed to add parent/child variations under the cellphone and accessories category.

Please note that there are some categories which do not support parent/child variations and "Cell Phone and Accessories" is one such category. As, of now sellers are not allowed to add variations to this categories.

However, you may come across some listings having variations under this category because only Amazon is allowed to create variations for this category. Amazon creates variations under this category only for the products which are sold and shipped by Amazon.com and not on the request of our sellers. There may be some instances where in Amazon.com may have decided to remove their listings later on for particular products but that detail page may still continue to exist as their may be other seller contributions for that particular listing. So, there may be some instances where in you will not find Amazon.com as a seller and still find variations listed under this category.

"
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ddurandSGS3:
i counted 14 broken image links. running chrome. it was mentioned one page back.

yeah im not a knowledgable enough to know how to implement that type of thing but it would be a cool little addition. your combinations tab works just as well though.

anyone else having issues with the pictures popping up? maybe its an issue on my end.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] zavex:
Looks like you triggered one of the standard responses from TAM. Since you don't give up easily hopefully you replied asking what it takes to enable support for variations in the category since it would lead to "a better customer experience".

Got my white Ultra and it looks great :) http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=34856508&postcount=767

I like that textured feel on the sides below the lock and volume buttons, which helps with the grip. But it could be nice if it covered the entire area on the sides, so it also gave a bit of grip when it lays on the table. It's very slippery when laying on a table, compared to the Thin Grip.

Also the lock button seems a bit hard to press with the cover on. Don't know if it's intended or the TPU just needs to be worn down a bit to make it more soft.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ddurandSGS3:
got my grey tpu and white PC today..this is my second case. my first being a flip cover.

i like the feel of this case. the build quality is great, packing was fine and installation was a breeze. it took a minute to get it to fit 100% perfect. but thats only because the fit is so good between the two pieces.

going to buy my mom one for christmas! thanks scott.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SSHGuru:
Glad you like it.

I'm trying to get the factory to do the same fit for the iPhone 5 version and they are taking forever.

We're going to do the Note II and a few more with the Ultra design soon.

Scott
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ddurandSGS3:
honestly, the TPU fits well enough to use as a case LOL

glad you started with us! LOL

with SGP droppin the neo hybrid hopefully youll be able to pick up some extra sales!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SSHGuru:
They dropped it? I think I heard they may be having quality issues but I can't keep up with everything.

The concept of the Ultra was to put TPU under Polycarbonate. There's a reason it's not done and that's because it has to fit like a glove. It took a while for the factory to get it right.

Now I'm going through exactly the same thing with the iPhone 5 version. Gotta find a factory that is faster - I lose hair over this one.

TPU alone is medium protection. Adding PC makes it Ultra protection. Without the need for three layers including silicone which is how most combo cases are made.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] zavex:
Well, have my cases on the phones now, and so far I am really liking them. One thing that really stands out to me is that with the ultra case on my S3, the case + phone is not quite as thick as my old Evo 4G with no case at all.

Hopefully they protect the phones well too. With a 4 and a 2 year old, plus my wife's tendency to drop her phone, it probably won't take too long for at least one of the phones to hit the floor.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SSHGuru:
There is a reason we don't sell a plain TPU case...

[Galaxy S III Accessories] jefflikesbagels:
Just received my Complete Ultra case today. I love it! The button cutouts are so much nicer, I won't want to worry about accidentally changing my volume anymore. It's also extremely thin compared to my Incipio DualPro case. The PC shell is a little grippier, and the grippy parts on the sides are a nice touch. I would definitely recommend this case. I know the tests show that this case does help with cushioning impacts, however I am a little worried at just how thin this one is compared to my Incipio in regards to cushioning drops.

Overall, I'm not going to worry about it too much, because I've been craving the thin feel of a caseless S3 for awhile, and the Complete Ultra accomplishes this very well.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SSHGuru:
Thanks,

It is extremely protective. Thinner because there is no silicone layer - it's been replaced with TPU.

I haven't had one report of a broken phone since we started selling them. (hope I didn't jinx it..)
