I don't have a picture, but the case is just like the mesh case in the other topic. Only difference is that it covers the top right area(where the antenna would be in the Korean version) and no holes on the back of the case.
Is this the one you're talking about?

Fits great, I just got my green one in today. It feels great in hand and fits really really well. I'm thinking about getting another color. I really really like it, Ide take pics but i don't have a camera with batteries other than the one on my phone.
I know it doesn't protect the top and bottom of the phone but if your extra careful with your phone (which i am) you don't have to worry about it too much. it has raised edges so it will protect it from a direct face first fall
i have it in black it is very nice and came with a free screen protector that i screwed up trying to put on
I really like the blue one. I have black and red mesh ones and really like them so I'm in for this one too! Will post pics when I receive them

Based on pics they have up on their site of other phones, and watching a couple of their install videos, I'm really interested in the Skinomi skins... they have plenty of pictures up for other models of phones, but no pictures for the Epic 4G Touch:
http://www.skinomi.com/samsungwithin.html
I sent their customer service a message, telling them I am interested but not willing to order completely sight-unseen since I don't know how the skins will be implemented on this particular phone.
Has anyone used these skins before?
Anyone got one of them on their Epic 4G Touch yet?
I'm hoping it'll be similar to this, since these phones are pretty similar form factor:

I won't buy Skinomi again after their HP TouchPad crap. Ordered a carbon fiber skin for the back of mine. They sent me a email saying it shipped but didn't actually go out til 3 days later. Then When I get it they for whatever reason added a cut out in the back to expose the nasty HP logo instead of leaving it one piece like pictured. The picture of the skin when I bought it was one piece, a few days later they switched it to the one with the center cutout.
I got mine today and installed it and its great. I had one on my inspire and loved it. It takes about 1 to 2 days for it to settle but when it does its like glass. Ill post pics tomorrow when all the solution drys and the bubbles disappear.

You have a skin, or just a screen protector? I'm curious what the layout is. Guessing still that it's like the Inspire links I posted above.

By the way, they're available now for $3.95 plus free shipping on Amazon. I ordered a back up because it's a nice protector and so damn cheap. Figured this may be a pricing gimmick by skinomi, first time buyer. Can't go wrong for 4 bucks shipped. I don't mind the friction and it's application process gets rid of any possible air pockets and the rainbowing seems to be minimal and disappearing. Those are the things i was most concerned about. I'm diggin it.
how long did you guys wait to use the phone after applying the screen protector ??
Just to clarify...
... This thread is about the skins, not the screen protector.
Don't get me wrong - I wouldn't mind hearing how those are either, in fact id like to hear if that's all you got - but mostly want to see if the skins are laid out the same way as in the second post:

Since these seem like a great anti-case solution, I'd love to see any pictures, i don't want to buy blind.
Thanks!
I can tell you that I bought a TPU black matte case and a skinomi screen protector and they both look excellent. I have in the past on various phones used Zagg, Ghost Armor and Best Skinz. Skinomi looks as good or better then the Ghost Armor which is the only other brand I would buy again. There is little to none orange peel effect and the feel of it is almost non-existent. Zagg is the only brand i would never ever buy again. The feel of Zagg is comparable to cover being on the phone vs naked and the look leaves alot to be desired also.
For the price on Amazon for the Skinomi, it is a clear winner (no pun intended) in my book.
Good to know...
I'm not a "case" kind of a guy - i like slim and pocketable - but I do have a tpu case on here right now, and would definitely recommend it. My matte black one looks upscale and fits really well, and it's not too thick really.
I just want that mm or two back.
Any pictures?
I'm trying to upload some pictures but it won't let me it keeps giving me a security error.
Here are a few pictures of the carbon fiber skin and the screen protector.
I'm impressed... I think that looks even better than the Infuse!

You need to give these skins at least 24hrs to settle. 48hrs for sure. Assuming the install went well, you should see all bubbles/sparkles disappear.
I was having extremely difficult time in choosing which color of the device to go with...
I've had White and Black iPhone 4s before and now I have the Black iPhone 4S.
Through out my life... I've only had black phones... and I felt like White was a refreshing changes.
So, when I actually wanted to go with the White Galaxy S3... T-Mobile was actually backordered with the White device. So I only had an option of Blue of 16GB.
Also, I did my extensive research on which case and stylus to buy as well... so I've finally managed to go with a perfect match for our beautiful pebble blue.
I went with Atomic Blue of Otterbox and the combo of Elago Stylus with Pen and a extra tip.
Otterbox Defender is a amazing case... Not only this make the phone almost indestructible and makes the phone feel like a phone (added weight)
Sure, this case will add bulk and weight to the device, but remember that accidents can happen and this case is a investment for those who are clumsy.
Also, I think the color balance between pebble blue and the navy and green color of the Otterbox case makes it very unique.
I hope you enjoy the pictures and feel free to ask any questions. Oh and I am still debating if I should go with White one still...
You guys can convince me to stick with the pebble blue, instead of white.
(I made a poll option to help me to decide if I should keep the blue or exchange for white)

I'm using my stylus for s-memo. I was tempted to buy the galaxy note for T-Mobile, but I can just buy the stylus for my s3. It's not as accurate as the note, but it works! Best of all s3 is newer and faster!
So what do you mean by fading for white phones?

Very sharp! I have the same case except it is the Teal (ish, whatever color you'd like to call it) version of it. I have the White Galaxy S 3 in it and I like how it looks. I originally wanted the blue one, but after the employee there let me see both of them in my case I opted for the white. I'd post a picture but I'm not a the 10 post count lol.
How are you liking the stylus? Do they work well on the S 3 for actually writing and things like that?

I love it! It was only $12 @amazon. Honestly I bought this one over the other ones, because the feature of the built in pen and an extra tip as well. Also the color of the stylus (indigo blue) matches perfectly with the pebble blue s3.
Only downside would be when writing on s-memo its not 100% accurate. Meaning writing can be a little aliasing on the edges.
I tried comparing my girlfriend's galaxy note, this thing is super accurate (using s-pen) but using the elago stylus makes it aliasing as well. It's not a bad trade off. Can't complain for $12 and the quality.
I'd highly recommend it! 8/10 because of not being completely accurate.

Hey I have a few questions please about the Otterbox defender case :
- How much does it weight without the galaxy s3 in ? ( 80g, 100g ?)
- How thick is it ? ( add 1 cm to galaxy s3 or more ?)
- Does the screen protector built in can be replace by an other standard screen protect if it's damaged ?
Thank you.
Btw, it's look like a nice case !
Sorry for my english.

I've owned a few white phones in the past. After a year or so they just don't look so bright white anymore. Maybe that's not th case with the s3 but thwts why I personally stay away from white ones. That and white cars. They just highlight all imperfections and any dirt whatsoever.

Im not 100% sure how much it weighs. but it sure does add more weight to it. (I personally like heaviness of the phone)
Thickness is about twice as S3...
And screen protector is built in to the case itself... They are anti-reflection protector. You can take it out and use your own screen protector for problem.
The screen protector is there to be a protection from sand and etc...
I am not a fan of this screen protector, because it gives rainbow effect on the screen, but you'll be thanking this case when accident happens or when the sun is glaring on your phone.
I hope I've answered all your questions. Also, youtube has plenty video on the size comparison.

Thats what she said
I use the belt clip that came with Otterbox. It sure does look ridiculous on the belt... because it is damn big phone (although it's slim). But you know what, I've been told that the size matters
Anyways, you won't regret buying the Defender series... because Honestly, I think definer series offer better color options and it offers BETTER protection in real world.
Plus, $50 is pretty expensive, but getting from amazon... you can save about $20. so either way, you'll be able to save some money.
Keep us posted on which case you are going with... Also, I might buy SGP neo case, but I've been reading that these have problems with power/volume buttons... so I might skip and get the SGP thin air case instead. I will post up reviews and picture once all these cases arrive.
Also, I have Diztronic case as well (in matte blue). I will post a review and pictures up very soon!
Currently, I'm just with a cheap case from ebay and it fits quite well. I don't know if I'm ready to put 30/40 euros on a case by the way, quite expensive for a protection.
But don't worry, if I buy one, I will tell you
Edit: I just forgot to ask you something; some people said that there is a gap between the screen protector build in and the screen itself. Do you notice it or it was a random defect ?
Thanks.

I understand that you love you phone also, what color is your s3?
To answer your questions, yes that's definitely true. But, I have a extra screen protector on my phone itself.. (now I have to send it back for the dead pixels, and exchanging for the white one). I wouldn't go far as to say it's a defect, but the gap is VERY minimal. You'll be able to tell when you are just lightly tapping the touch screen. but it won't affect the sensitivity of the device itself.
If you don't like that, you can always remove the screen protector and use your own SP.
Also, I would like to know for those people who have voted for the poll.
Why did you guys vote for the white? instead of the blue?
Thanks for the answer.

I like decal girl. They'll even make completely custom skins for you.
I especially like that they cut out the cap buttons rather then print them on the screen. I leave the cutouts inplace. I rather not see them at all.
They actually look pretty much exactly like in the photo. Just keep in mind that the back decal does not cover the entire battery cover for these. At least going by the pics it doesn't.
I got this one from Amazon awhile back in blue and black. $5 each. You can see that the corners are slit some exposing a bit of the back allowing it to curve to cover more of the battery cover unlike the ones in the op. On the device they looked exactly like in the pic. The wallpapers are the exact res of whichever device you bought the skin for, so they're non scrolling. I'll try n put it back on n get pics Sunday. My other phone is out on loan so no camera aside from the one on the SG3
Gelaskins is another viable option for skins

Are the sides of the black model different than the white? My white sides aren't matte at all. I thought the differences were only the back texture and earpiece color (I like the white earpiece but not the slick back).

The black one is fully mat. Unlike the white one. The white one has a white earpiece AND the sides around the phone are glossy.
BTW here is a vid about a guy who's detaching the backcover (it's for another purpose but you'll get it)

I had no clue about the sides. That's stupid.

Only if I want to wait 3 months for a black one. I'll just deal for now and hopefully trade with somebody at some point. Can probably do that in 3 months as well. (I made the number 3 up but you get my point.)
Anyone heard news of otterbox for moto g?
Sent from my C6606 using xda app-developers app
On their homepage they list the defender ($49.95) and commuter ($34.95) series for the Moto G.
They're on sale from the official otterbox website and other ones, waiting for amazon but didn't check it yet.
Sorry for the late post, but through today Otterbox has a sale on their website for 20% off storewide with free Fedex smartpost and $5 2 day shipping. I bought 2 of the commuter series since I bought 2 Moto Gs and it came out to $65 2 day shipped with tax. Hopefully I'll have the cases before the phones. They seem a bit bulky from the pics, but until I receive both the phone and the case I guess there is no good way to tell for sure.
Got my defender. Top notch protection and quality .

That's too bad.

Can someone post some pics or video of the commuter series case for it? Can't seem to find any online other than the otterbox website pics.
Anybody bought the white otterbox? hoping to see some pics of it.

My commuter case should be arriving later this week (ordered the lilac/dark grey one); once I get it in, I can snap some pictures if someone else hasn't already done so.

Thanks man.
Edit. Still can't make up my mind on a colour. I like the white but I'm worried about it getting dirty

We did get it today. Feels awesome. Didn't get a chance to take any pictures before work today however. But when I get off I'll post some up. I know it looked and felt awesome!

Just got mine today, and here are images of mine--hopefully these work (I can't post outside links yet).
The screen protector it comes with doesn't cover the entire screen--one side is rounded, while the other end is flat, and it will leave roughly 1cm exposed after it's been applied. You can see a faint border in the second image where the protector stops if applied from the bottom edge. If you don't mind a muted receiver/speaker, reapplying it from the top edge will make the protector reach .5cm below the display from that end.
edit: Fixed images by making them attachments instead.
edit2: Discovered the screen protector was muting the speaker quite a bit, so I had to flip it back to the top.
edit3: Removed lilac warning; my monitor's too blue, though the lilac appears to be fine when viewing OtterBox's site from my phone.

The lilac case is also much, much redder than advertised; had I known this, I would've gotten black. With color correction, this is how bright the lilac really is (for anyone interested):

cant see the pictures. Good thing i didn't order the Lilac. Just ordered the black one since that seemed the safest colour. White was my other colour but my hands get very dirty at work didn't make much sense.

The images should be viewable now--sorry for the trouble (had to wait five minutes before I could submit the edited post).
I originally wanted to get black, as lighter colors dirty too easily for me too, but I opted for some contrast based off the website colors.
As htcvividnoob mentioned, the side buttons are harder to push down with the case on; as this is my first OtterBox case, I don't know how this compares to the Defender series. I personally found this to be a perk because I don't have to worry about bumping the buttons by accident anymore.

Heh, I'm still looking forward to the images others post of their 'boxes.
I found out today that my monitor may be the problem--it's too blue; the lilac was showing up as a deeper violet on this screen, while on my phone the colors look about right. I didn't think to look at the website from other devices, ack.
