Here we go, pics of the green with a Pebble Blue. Not the best pics, but should give some idea.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] grillheadxl:
I like that the volume rocker now has enough resistance that when holding it sideways, I don't accidentally click it. When you need to click it though, it is very responsive.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] 1slow4G:
Very nice! So its a manly green not a girly green. Like the red/pinkish one lol

[Galaxy S III Accessories] grillheadxl:
It's not as jelly bright as the pictures on the ZooGue site/OP but yeah, I don't think it's a girly green. It compliments the green well, and I'm sure it will the white, too.

Just got the white case for myself for $5 (shipping included) using the code "freeshipping".
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kl323:
Thanks for the heads up. I got in for $5 as well!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kl323:
Just got the case today. Fits nice and snug. Has a good grip/texture.

Only complaint is that the cutouts aren't that good. The USB port is not centered in the cutout. May become a problem when plugging in a bulkier USB cable. Also the microphone cutouts on the top and bottom aren't that good. Hopefully that area on the underside is beveled enough so that sound can still go in.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] themadproducer:
While the case is on your S3, try to shift it over so that it's better aligned to the holes. It tends to stay in place once you do that.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kl323:
Thanks! Solid piece of advice there!

One other thing I notice is that when taking off the case, the back battery plate tends to come off with it as well. This shows how snug the case really is. But be careful not to snap your battery plate!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] themadproducer:
I find that with 4 different cases that I own, certain usb or headphone jacks inevitably wont fit through the hole in the case(s). My main headphones, which I have at home and in my office etc., with a moderately slim plug...still won't fit in the ZooGue case opening.

I took a utility knife to the ZooGue make the opening larger but even with a sharp blade, it is difficult to do a good job. In the end, I ended up using the HOT tip of a soldering iron to carefully melt the hole bigger and that worked. Not perfect, but effective and good enough. For a budget price case, I was not worried about wrecking it or marring it...although I have a spare anyway. :D
[Galaxy S III Accessories] 1slow4G:
What i do to aling is squeeze the sides of the front lip towards each other. U can feel it move, after that, its aligned and stays in place

[Galaxy S III Accessories] ticojpunk:
Not very encouraging. I have four on the way that might end up on ebay at a loss. Lol.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kl323:
Don't be discouraged. I followed the advice posted after mine. And it is perfectly fine!

Your best bet to keep it aligned is to put in the USB end of your phone.. align it, and fit the rest of the case in.But otherwise, no complaints!!!

This is an excellent case for $5. Doesn't feel cheap one bit. So much cheaper than the knockoffs that cost much more in Chinatown or eBay.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] 1slow4G:
The cutous are perfect imo

Sent from my Galaxy S3 using neighbors wifi :P
[Galaxy S III Accessories] pappcam:
The cutouts are perfectly aligned on both my cases. When you first put the case on they might look out of alignment but all you need to do is sort of squeeze and shift the case while it's on the phone and they'll end up perfect.

It's the best case I've seen for these phones for my purposes.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ticojpunk:
Got my 4 cases yesterday. Blue, red, green, black. The cutouts are not 100%, but they are close. My black and blue happen to be a little better than the green and red. But I think that's just the little inconsistencies that happen in manufacturing.

I'm not sure I like the feel or not. I'm a big fan of glossy tpu, because it really sticks to the palm and fingers. With glossy tpu, it's very helpful for one handed use, because as you shift your fingers around the case itself is sticking to your hand a little bit, so it never slides.

These cases are a matte finish. Much better for fingerprints, but definitely more slippery than glossy tpu.

They are very comfortable though. I'm typing this out right now with the blue case on and it's a pleasure in the hand. It's just a question of getting used to the matte finish, especially when doing finger gymnastics to deal with the 4.8" screen one handed.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] 1slow4G:
I was in the same situation at first, but got use to it real quick. Got my green one but the colors ehhh.. Again not what i expected lol. Ill just stick to my favorite one, the black one

Sent from my Galaxy S3 using neighbors wifi :P
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ticojpunk:
I'm also feeling pretty ehhh about the colors. But it's not fair in a way because I usually prefer black anyway. The sale was so cheap though, I figured what the heck and got the other colors. I think the Red and Green one are hitting eBay. I sort of like the Blue, very surfy/summery, so we'll see how I feel about that when the warmer months hit. At the end of the day though, I'm a black case sort of person. Boring yes, but I like my attention to stay on the GS3's screen anyway.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] 1slow4G:
Exactly. Great minds think alike lol

Sent from my Galaxy S3 using neighbors wifi :P
[Galaxy S III Accessories] themadproducer:
Cutouts...when I first got my ZooGue, I thought the mic cutouts were terribly off spec...unacceptable for the way they are being manufactured. But I soon realized, that it was 90% improved by nudging the case over in it's position as mentioned in previous posts. Surprisingly, once nudged...it tends to stay in place. (my UAG fits perfect and is not able to move at all once mounted. Killer craftsmanship...totally different build but at 6x the price)

If I was ZooGue, I would make the mic and headphone holes larger. I ordered a 2nd case....like you guys said...because of the price and I could swear the mic holes are a bit larger. Could be placebo. Also, I chose boring black for the same reason...I want to focus on the screen and let everything else disappear. (just like tv lcds and pc lcds)

Matte finish....if you play a Fender Strat guitar....with the finished stripped to bare matte wood finish, the area where your arm leans on all the time...will eventually look semi polished from the residual oils of your skin and also your arm behaves like an emery cloth. There should be a way to get this finish at least on the back of the case thus giving it more grit.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kl323:
Those that don't like the color selection, I highly recommend Cruzerlite. I used their TPU case while I had my Galaxy Nexus. It isn't matte and much smoother. Cut out and fit was perfect for that device. It also has the grooves on the side for extra grip.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] BLfan:
Just received my black ZooGue case, very nice. Although gutted that I missed out on the 'freeshipping' code.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ticojpunk:
I'm really not liking the ZooGue cases, but I can see why other people do.

Definitely gonna put them on eBay to try to get back at least a few dollars. $2 shipping or $3 with tracking makes selling these pretty tough.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] LastSilmaril:
OP says neither the uag nor this case protects against faceplants, which have been my problem of late (shattered glass, though it's not actually too noticeable depending on the colors and angles). I plan on replacing my phone's glass but am not sure what case would do the job for that...given the discount on this one today I wish I could snag it but it doesn't seem like it'll do the job.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ticojpunk:
I dare say the ZooGue is finally growing on me. Still not crazy about the colors (but that's just a personal preference thing), but I've been using the Black one today instead of the Kay's Case Slim Soft Skin TPU case I usually use. I'm liking it. Definitely keeping the black one. Still undecided on the red/blue/green ones. But seeing as I'll be hard pressed to even make my money back selling them on eBay I might just keep 'em.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kl323:
I'm actually pretty confident about the protection offered by the case. The front has a high enough bump to keep the glass off the surface if you were to turn your phone facedown.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] themadproducer:
I think the black one is really the obvious choice for the Blue S3 as it does not cheese-ify it. Keeps it classy...like black shoes. Too bad it's not DEEP RICH black but it's ok.

I have not dropped my S3 yet with either my ZooGue or UAG. But both seem snug enough, that if it drops, the S3 wont come flying out of the case. Some case do that.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] 1slow4G:
Ha.. I went through the same lol. Wasn't feeling it at first, but after couple of days i loved it lol. Kept the black for my white gs3.

You can barely feel the Ultra Nano Clear at all. It almost looks like you don't have one either. I absolutely hate screen protectors, but i love this SGP.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] eddott:
I have to say that this case is a very good fit to the orginal 3000 mah extended Samsung battery.

It fit almost perfectly: youtube.com/watch?v=qLWXZ0oqzxQ .

The only small problem was that the cover would stop the usb cable from getting close enough to the case, so you had to work a little to connect it. And the bottom mic was barly visible. So I trimmed of a tiny bit around the holes, and now it fits perfectly. Worked with the Samsung dock to. Love this case!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] LegobrandonCP:
Way too many colour options. :(

[Galaxy S III Accessories] avettraino:
Just got the black one recently. It has a good grip, and is not slippery like other cases I have used.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ticojpunk:
I had a couple posts in this thread in which I expressed my partial dislike for these cases. But it's been a few weeks now and the black one has been on it non - stop.

Not quite as tacky in the hand as my a Kay's Case Slim Soft tpu case, but the ZooGue buttons are much easier to press, and I feel like the slightly softer tpu will absorb shock a bit better.

I ended up selling my green and blue one on eBay, but the red didn't sell. I don't like the color much but I'll just keep it as a backup.

But I'm loving the black one.

If there is ever another 99 cent sale, I'll definitely be picking up a few more black ones as backup.

Ordered a ZooGue, a Spigen SGP NEO hybrid, and a cheapy TPU from a local seller so it gets here quicker.

Oh and also, for the owners of a zoogue case that use it on the daily basis and felt the "gritty" texture go away. I suggest to take a damp terry cloth and rub it hard and clean it real good. Seems like a layer of dirt/debris accumulates and makes the texture fade. I couldn't believe how the cloth i used looked after lol.

does this case offer protection for drop impacts? on their site they say:5 foot drop screen protection, but it is for real? anybody drop the phone with this case? :D i have one now, but i want to buy a UAG case if this cant protect the screen from an accidental drop.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ticojpunk:
I've dropped it 3-4 times, always on concrete, asphalt, tile, etc. One drop was me riding my bike. Phone was in my shirt pocket. I did a bunny-hop on the bike and it flew out of my pocket. I was sure it was wrecked, but not a single scratch. I've been very surprised at how much this slim case protects the phone.

I think one major asset of this TPU is that it's slightly softer than a lot of other TPU cases. It's not as stiff, therefore it absorbs more of the shock. Stiffer TPU transfers more of the impact on to the phone than the softer TPU does. Also the case has a good amount of lip around the screen to protect it in a face-down fall.

Keep in mind though that every drop is different, and a different angle, or debris on the sidewalk, or any number of things could have changed the results of the drop. But overall, the drops I've had, I know for a fact if I had no case my screen would have been shattered and the body most likely cracked in one way or another.

Just got mine in black today. I ordered last week with the ZGTA27 discount code for 2$ off. Not too bad :)

The case itself is excellent. My first thought was that it looked a lot like the Thin Grip from DBA Cases, but it feels very different. A very special and nice feeling combination of hard plastic and rubber, excellent for grip! The ribs on the side also help in this regard.

The front of the face folds around and covers the bezels, which is nice since i cracked mine :) The cut-outs look fine but the power button seems a bit hard to press. Maybe it will become more loose with use.

All in all, very satisfied with the quality, low price and fast shipment (USA to Denmark in 6 days)
