This case is pretty nice!! Great protection and doesn't at too much bulk at all. The material feels amazing in your hand. Side note , it also fits in the holster of Verizon's shell holster combo !!

I love it....and I hate cases. One question before I order it. Is the power button cut out? Does work well unlocking screen or is it a little tough. Thanks for the heads up on a great looking case.

also is it a dust bunny or is it like TPU
I got the exact same one but in red off Amazon for about $10. It's a great case, and I love it.
The power button seems easier to press IMO but it is a pain to remove the thing because sometimes the battery cover comes off when removing, but that just means that it's a tight fitting case and I highly recommend it.

I've had it for about 2 weeks now. No dust issues on my black/red case.
I really like this case as well, and for the $7 shipped from Amazon, it really can't be beat.
picked up one of these as well, black/black, fits well and little added bulk. This is the first phone case I've actually liked.
I bought the same case except clear smoked on the whole back and black on the sides. A lot like the awesome Griffin REVEAL case for the first incredible

I'm not big on cases, especially since my car dock won't accommodate the DINC 2 with a case, but i picked one up due to the great reviews. It will be nice to have if I'm doing something besides going to the office.
Ahh that yellow one looks pretty awesome. I'm tired of having all-black cases and this OtterBox Defender needs to go, just makes the phone too bloated and have a hard time getting to the Q and P on the GB keyboard. This will defintely be my next case!
To each his own
I bought that case in black/red and also a tpu black case with a wave pattern. I hated the TPU/plastic black/red that you are referencing didn't even put it on didn't like the feel of it.
The TPU black case has a wave pattern that makes it much better to grip and doesn't show smudges that much due to the pattern. The TPU wave case was noticeably slimmer. I still wish I had a slimmer case but the wave case is quite nice.
I think I got it from the link below.

Edit: They are on sale for 4 bucks I am getting a wave tpu red case and white one as well!
The only thing I hate is that it is not easy at all to take off the case.. I always get the back cover stuck in the case and can't get it out..

So im about to start snowboarding this year and i will be using my phone on the mountain for both texts and music. I dont want to ruin my day by landing on my phone and trashing it so i would like a few recommendations of cases that could hold up to the impact of me falling on it, whether that be off of a jump, doing jibs, or going off of a few cliffs.
Thanks in advance!

I would say Ballistic. The only weak point I see is no holster to protect a screen. In normal conditions screen should be protected, but in your situation rock or something will still hit the screen.
I am usually pretty careful to turn the screen towards my body in all cases as a precaution. Also bulk is no issue as a will only be using it for snowboarding purposes, i have a barely there for every day use. What i would like however is something that will actually come on and off since i will switch cases back and forth

If a holster is needed to attach to a bag or something the siedio convert may fit the bill
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
Sounds like the Seidio Convert would be perfect for you. You can use the Surface case for your everyday use, then throw the outer skin and skeleton on when you need it. The Convert also has port covers, which the Ballistic SG does not have.

I think it is individual. If you have big hands you'll be OK. You have to stop by corporate Sprint store, and ask'em to show it to you. It is what I did this weekend, and after that I went back home and ordered it on ebay. Still waiting.
Just ordered my sgs3 a few days ago, I'm looking for case that can potentially take a beating, I work in a warehouse and I don't want to hurt my new phone I looked at a body glove at the tmo store but it didn't seem as strong as the body glove I have on my sensation, thanks I appreciate it

I have the otterbox defender and it is very solid. Feels like it should take any normal abuse.
otterbox defender, trident kraken, seidio active. Those would be my choices.

I also work in a warehouse and I'm using the trident ageis its pretty good but I'm thinking about upgrading to the ballistic Sg maxx that case looks like it can take a hell of a drop. I'm sometimes up to 30 feet high and if I drop my phone e I do t think my trident case could handle the fall. I think the sg maxx would be our best bet for surviving that kind of fall.

I work construction so yea I was worried my self lol, so I got me a otterbox defender series from a at&T store, dude hooked me up with a 25 percent off because I had a coupon for tmobile that was 30 percent off, so he did almost like a price match for me , not bad at all , plus the buttons on this case are not hard to press.

Hey, I am trying to get support to get Griffin technology to produce a survivor case for the galaxy s3. If you look in my thread you can see that it would be a cool option for us if we manage to convince them to make one , http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1823703
The otterbox defender is what I would use if you want maximum protection.
Lately i have seen a lot of posts about broken gs3 screens, and i'm really afraid that something like that could happen to my beloved gs3.
At this moment i am using a regular silicon case, which i don't believe gives me enough protection.
So i have been researching the best case to protect my phone without adding much bulkiness.
I found this option on amazon and it seems quite interesting....and good looking.
http://www.amazon.com/Urban-Armor-G...TF8&colid=1DR9PV9J5Z87D&coliid=I3VQFO7QIOFFZM
A little expensive but if protects my gs3 i won't care
So...what do think about it guys ?

It looks abit bulky but should do the job.
But maybe take a look on ebay for it. Maybe find it a little bit cheaper
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Looks too One X or death star to me. It totally ruins the elegant look the GS3 goes for.
If I and to get a bulky case, I would go for Capdase armor jacket. Although I am not sure if the Aluminum kills reception or not.
Nahh...i've droped mine a couple of times with and without a tpu case and not a single scratch mate....
I also saw some drop/durability tests and i've seen the S3 is strong!
Maybe the first units had durability issues...?
Anyway i would spend money if i were you...
But if you want to stay free of guilts not buing a decent case undoubtly get an otterbox!
they're simply the best!You wont regret it....
Seems like good protection, but I like more the looks of the Otterbox Commuter for a "bulky case" (And I've heard is one of the betters in matters of protection). I'm supposed to get an Incipio Silicrylic any time this week, I decided to go for it because I thought a Commuter was overkill for my daily use and the Incipio seems to be stylish. I hope I don't regret that choice
Also, I think this should be in the Accessories section?
Well for what i have seen it the thinnest of the bulky cases. That is why i've got so interested. Also it looks pretty bad ass.
But i will check all your suggestions too.
I am still searching for a case to my new toy..the N7.

Just got mine from US to UK, took less than a week to arrive
After 2 official samsung flip cases fell apart (1 in first 10 days) I saw this and liked the look of it.
It's obviously more bulky than before but not enough to bother me. It's fairly lightweight too. Having side protection as well as the cool looking back won me over.
It Cost me £28 including delivery. Having spent over £16 (£30rrp) before on the samsung cases I can tell you the quality is far superior.
You get a screen protector included too (after a lot of time and swearing trying to fit the bast**do with no dust trapped) looks pretty good.

I've had an Otterbox Defender for my S3 now for quite awhile. The silicone over the plastic shell always seems to stretch over time causing a loose fit. I know you can contact customer support and have a new case sent to you from Otterbox, but I figured there had to be something to tighten the silicone up. After browsing the web, I heard that if you boil the silicone for a few minutes in boiling water, it will tighten it up. I figured I'd give it a try and it actually did work, the case now fits like it did when it was new.
How long did you boil it? I stopped using my defender because of this issue
Boiled it for about 2 minutes. If your silicone is stretched too far though it won't go 100% back to normal. It will help though that's for sure!

Done this also. But immersed only for a minute. Then went to a cup full of cold water.
Dont use tongs when getting the case off the water as it will ruin the shape of the case. As the case is sensitive when its really hot.

Ballistics sg maxx is a great case. Best drop protection imo. With them big chunky corners it just bounces back at you lol. My wife had it on hers for awhile.

HAHA BUDDY!!!! Same thing here! I love my BodyGlove ToughSuit!!! Gray/White Version Here! I got sick and tired of the OtterBox Warranty claims, however this is the first device I've had the stretching issue with an OtterBox...
I also had the same issues, solved them (temporary) by heating up the rubber in a microwave. Well, the rubber still started to stretch again after some time, I contacted Otterbox and received a brand new Otterbox Defender which still looks very good. I´ve removed the screen protector though
Ive just stopped using my defender because of this reason, and I won't buy another one again because of it.......... thought they were supposed to be the best.......
Well, unfortunately there is hardly a similar case available which 1) offers some protection and 2) looks somehow decent and fancy enough the be used on a daily basis.
There are some similar chinese cases available which also offer a hard plastic shell and some rubber around...but look in my oppinion rather ugly than a regular Otterbox Defender.
Have a look at this one : http://www.amazon.de/yuba-RoboCase-...1367166500&sr=8-2&keywords=galaxy+s3+survivor
Since the support was kind enough to me, though I bought my case used in another board and didn´t receive a invoice, I may still consider to use other Otterbox Cases with other devices.
The stretching isn't the only flaw with these cases. The clips that hold the two plastic portions together also seem to break after awhile. Guess you can't complain too much when they send another free though.
