Body Glove Snap-On Cover

purchased mine at the local vzw store. fits very good, has a good rubber texture that keeps it from slipping from your hand. comes with a removable swivel clip that i took off because I dont like clips lol
will post pics in a bit

how much did it cost?
is there any little piece that remains when you remove the clip?
does it slide into and out of a pocket easily or does the material grip your pocket making sliding difficult?

my friend bought this case... its makes the phone huge... I'm not finding any case that improves the feel of the phone any... I am just using a sleeve to protect it from being scratched in my pocket... and the seam that the 2 halves of the case leave looks god awful

It's not so bad. I love the case so far. Feels good in my hand and it hasn't slipped.

I like it too. I am looking for a leather horizontal case to use from time to time on my belt. This will need to be a little larger because of the additional depth with the body glove on. Let me know of any suggestions.

I would love to see some real life user closeups.. anyone feel like posting?

give me a couple of minutes, ill show ya in a bit

I am actually taking mine back since its too big and grippy making it impossible to slide into my jeans front pocket with it. also hate to cover up such a beautiful phone.

I bought this case, its good but it big and really really hard to take of
but id recommend it to clip users

I like mine so far. It's not all that attractive, but that's not why I bought it. It does seem to be pretty sturdy and the grip is really good with the case on. I haven't tried to take it off yet, but I don't expect it to be simple. BTW, I paid like $13-$14 shipped for mine on ebay.

Case mate pop case and visor ag screen protector

Heres a few pics of the casemate case for the s3. I had to go to an at&t store because bestbuy had no accessories (prolly be here on 28th right lol) and i didnt like the sprint ones. And it has a VISOR AG screen protector on it. If your like me and had no clue what these were basically its a screen protector that covers the whole front of the phone not just the screen its self. Its clear for the screen and if you notice its clear not cut out for the back and menu buttons. Then the outer layer is white or blue depending on what color you have. Also this screen protector is fingerprint and bubble free. Normally im an otterbox defender or ballistic HC guy but i gotta admit im liking this

I just ran up to the att store and bought the same setup you did. The grip on the side was most important and it is outstanding. The visor screen cover is excellent as well because there is little to no touch loss. In addition its washable and replaceable. My phone was blue and they only had the white visor, so now it appears white with the white case.
Cons: the stand is very flimsy, but I don't care I never use it.
Loving it, thanks for the heads up.

I like the blue a whole lot...but I like the phone even better; they only had white. I am loving the case more and more; it is really grippy. When held up to the ear it feels fantastic in your hand (that's what she said)? Just a great case.

Is the headphone port really recessed? I used headphones with an angled connector.

It's an awesome case. I'm glad I got it as well!
It's rubbery where it needs to be, and hard case where it needs to be.
I was also going to pass on it, but the case was so good, I overlooked it.

I've got the same case, direct from Case-mate (Used code 'tough' for 20% off, not sure if it's still active FYI).
I love the case, with one exception.... that kickstand is damn flimsy and unless you're on a PERFECT level surface, forget about Portrait mode. (And yes the website says it's good for portrait or laandscape).
I've emailed Case-Mate to see if they are aware of the kickstand issues and are planning to do anything about them (like retool to a metal like Seidio)....
I need to find a Seidio one local so I can see it in action to determine which I'll keep for the long haul. This one feels real nice in the hand though.
Still waiting on my screen protectors in the mail.. bought like 3 different brands (2 cheapie and 1 seidio), figure i'll try something new

Good :
- Rubber grips on the side
- Buttons click well
- Kickstand
- Feels sturdy overall
- Headphone jack area accommodates even the largest jacks.
Bad :
- Kickstand feels flimsy
- Rubber on back peels and stains the back of the case (will wipe off though)
- Back is raised so it doesn't rest on the rubber grips. It'll spin in place.
- Headphone port area cracked a little (tiny) when trying to remove phone from case. In other words, not enough plastic.
Advice: Buy but only in white (Which I have). It scratches easily like Speck cases. You won't see scratches on the white but I guarantee you'll see them all over the black one within 5 minutes of putting it on.

I wonder how this will work or if it even will work with a glass screen protector?

First off its called the ivisor. I have had this same setup for over a month now. I got tired of the sp yes it looks good but go out in the sunlight and try to use your phone its impossible to see.

I've used AG iVisor for a few phones now and they have always been outstanding. I presently have one on a SGS 2, Nokia Lumia 900 and my SGS3.
So I seem to have issue with the SGS3s iVisor. While the iVisor fits well, when I put a case on, it pushes the sides of the iVisor up and away from the screen, simply pushing it off the face of the phone. I have tried 3 different cases (non of which are the same as mentioned in the OP), that being said, the case should not matter...
Has anyone else encountered a similar problem?
I attribute it to the (almost zero edge) construction of the phone. This problem has not occurred on either of the other devices mentioned.

Yes the case does make a diffence some just push up the ivisor I have this problem with many of cases on reason I don't recommended this product.

EBay special kickstand case. Good!!!

Bought this case from eBay for 6.99 shipped. Fast delivery and great seller. It has a slide out kickstand that can be used for landscape or portrait viewing. The kickstand also doubles as a good grip for the phone. You slide your ring and middle fingers into the kickstand and u can reach entire front of screen without worry of dropping it. Cutouts for buttons and ports are good. All in all a great case for $7!

I have one of these on the way, pretty excited about it. One question though, does it lay flat on a surface on its back? I have the boxwave TPU case with a kickstand and they left the hinge popping out the back which really disappointed me.

I have this case as well. Very impressed with it. The phone does lay flat with the kickstand folded.

I ordered the original nillikin one in white, I was bangin my head for kickstand case and I decided to get this one..can't wait
I think we should merge it with the kickstand case thread, as this is also discussed there
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1730833

Still using this case. I seem to use the kickstand everyday almost always. You don't realize how much you would use one until you have one. Still clips nice and no noticeable ware on clips that hold the kickstand.

Seen 2 people with broken note 2s today

First I just have to say this phone is freaking awesome. I have mine running Jedi X7 with Perseus kernel. Basically it's the best phone there is. Samsung took it to a whole new lol.
So this guy at work has a Grey Note 2 from Sprint. He dropped it getting out of the car. He has a crack going from the top left corner to the middle of the right side of the glass. Like a triangle basically. Brutal. But then today a girl I hadn't seen in a while had a Grey Note 2 for AT&T. It was hanging out of her pocket with tape holding the battery in. I asked to see it and I looked at the front and I was shocked. A Completely shattered front screen. At least 50 pieces of glass. Evidently her digitizer still worked but she didn't have insurance on her plan so she basically is screwed.
Be careful with your Note's guys. If you don't have a case GET ONE! My flip case saved mine from a drop out the car just the other night lol.

Agree, as careful as we are, we cant never know what will happen, just last night, I put mynote on my bed, about a foot away from the edge, my daughter move the pillow and the note just slipped and fell to the floor, lucky I have tpu case on it

Stuff happens -- it's a fact of life. You never know when your phone might be accidentally knocked off the table, fall out of your lap as you get out of your car, you could slip on ice walking in the winter and your phone could go flying, etc etc. You can never guarantee 100% that your phone will never be dropped or that an accident will never happen. Even just a basic case would be better than leaving it completely naked.
Just my 2 cents.

Waiting for someone to post how strong gorilla glass is, dropped face down so many times, still looks brand new, cases are like condoms for sissies, bla bla bla ...

Get a d30 case from tmobile, their $30 and let me be abusive as i want to my phone lol

Seeing as there is glass corner to corner on this device I dont get how EVERYONE doesnt have a case on it out the door. I mean ins or no ins .
Once I saw that I didnt even use my GN2 until id received the case in the mail.

dropped my phone the other day on cement, good thing I had a tpu case on and no damage occurred but the S-Pen fell out after the drop and the chrome top of the pen got scratched. Anyone else have issues with the S-Pen falling out too easily?

I have a flip case, so far been good to me. Only things that have Bern damaged are bottom left corner on the metalized plastic ring is bent up (not sure how, but I bent it back, almost good as new) and the Samsung logo on the flip case is half missing....wish the rest would rub off lol.

Mine vibrated off the table onto the tile floor and cracked the screen to the point where it wouldn't even turn on anymore. It was only about a 4 feet drop. I had a TPU case on it but it seems to me that this phone is just prone to damage if dropped (maybe due to the thinness of the phone?) Right now I'm using a Vibrant that I've dropped a few times from a higher distance and it's fine.
Luckily AMEX is covering my phones repair cost so I lucked out there.

Everyone should get this case

Here's a link to a great writeup of the Ionic Guardian case. That's what I ended up getting. It has great protection on the corners. I've dropped it twice, having mini heart-attacks each time, but it's been well protected by this case. AND it's only like 15 bucks with shipping.

Does anyone not use a case on their S3?

(First of all, I'd like to say I'm not sure if I've posted this in the right section - I know how people here feel about that. So I'd like to apologise first.)
As the title says, I'm just wondering if there are people out there who don't use a case at all on their phone. Also, if you don't, why don't you. To those that don't use a cover, how has your phone fared in the time since you got it?
I've been using a case on mine since the day I got it. Today I took it off and forgot how nice the phone feels without a case. I'm feeling like I'd like to not use a case for a while to see how the phone fares in day-to-day life.
So, yeah, any comments are welcome, and thanks in advance!

I haven't put a single case on any smartphone i've owned until I got my S3. And I can't remember the last time I've dropped my smartphone on the ground (KNOCK ON WOOD) so that's how careful I am with my phones but I fully respect and appreciate the concept of accidents.
Searching on Youtube for "S3 drop tests" should tell you why. Every single video i've seen has demonstrated how much damage the S3 fares when dropped on the ground. That was enough to convince me to slap a case on it.

I did a weekend with no case recently cause I liked the feel of a naked phone. Then at a family party someone runs into me as I was standing there texting a friend and I drop and scratch the side of my phone. Nothing Broke but the scratch
Made me sad.

I've never dropped any phone I've had before either. That's why I figured I'd give not wearing a case a go.
I actually used a case on every phone I had. Looking back, it was kinda a waste because I never dropped the things.
The gs3 unfortunately feels like it could snap at a fall of a couple centimetres though.

I don't shell out a few hundred and not protect my phone. Reason I always put a case is for resale value. Sold my S3 pretty fast since it was in perfect condition.

I used to be very protective and used an xtremeguard on the front screen and the back cover, along with a belkin tpu case. But I ended up taking all of it off because my OCD always kicked in when I saw dust caught on the edges of the case, and when the sides my xtremeguard lifted up slightly due to the case. The only protection I have now is that I cut out a small piece of my xtremeguard and carefully applied it to the camera lens so that it doesn't get scratched when I place the phone on the table.
I have been running my S3 this way for almost a month now, and it is still flawless. And I am very careful with my electronics so I expect it to be in pristine condition until it's time for an upgrade.

I just stopped using a case on my phone about a week ago. When its not in a case like super protective of it tho

For hands like mine, SIII is just too thin to hold without case

If I remember correctly, only one of my phones ever had a screen cover (HTC Compact IV). Apart from that one, every phone has been how the designer(s) intended the phone to be.
I keep my phone in a PDA belt pouch and occassionally in an empty pocket in my trousers.
I treat the £500 phone with the care of a £500 piece of equipment I cannot afford to replace if damaged.
