Gelaskins?

Does anyone have one of these for the Tab 10.1? If so, how is the coverage on it and are you happy w/ it? I've seen some posts about phones, but Want to know if the sides of the tab are protected enough and if the screen portion is any good on a tablet?

check pictures of it on an ipad or any other tablet, i believe the result is the same.

I looked at pics of the Pad and the corners are cut out. I don't like that at all. The pics on their site are photoshopped and you can't tell anything from that.

I just got mine today from amazon. Check the last page in the mega case thread. I like it. Anything will add some amount of weight/thickness. This one fits really well. I'm keeping it.

I just got mine today and I'm extremely satisfied with it so far.
The fit is absolutely perfect from edge to edge, on all the corners, and around the camera and flash. I'm actually astounded that they managed to get the measurements so perfect; it covers the entire back without overlapping the little gap between the back panel and the trim around the edge of the device.
It also adds a little bit more of a grippy feel to the back, even moreso than the metallic grey back (which is what I have), so it feels like it will be a little easier to hang onto the Tab and not drop it.
However, you're not going to find any protection for the edges with the Gelaskin, and the front piece will not protect your screen either; it simply covers the bezel around the screen. I didn't apply the front piece because I felt like it would be more distracting than the black bezel and it also won't line up with the Gelaskins wallpaper if you rotate the Tab. But if you wanted to apply the front piece, it does have cut-outs for the front-facing camera and the ambient light sensor.
If you're looking for more complete coverage you should definitely consider something else. Personally, I just wanted something that would look nice and protect the back side from scratches when I put the Tab down on a surface, and for that purpose the Gelaskin is perfect. It also adds no bulk and I bet it would easily fit inside of a case if you wanted to do something like Gelaskin on the back + transparent TPU case and maybe a screen protector for more complete protection. At that point the Gelaskin would just be there for looks, though.
Here's a couple photos of mine:
The photo of the camera/flash makes it look like the skin is not perfectly aligned around the flash, but this is just because of the angle at which I took the photo. It's actually aligned just as perfectly as it is around the camera.
If anyone has any questions I'd be happy to answer them.

If people are buying from the gelaskins.com website, then they should put in 500PXSKINS and save 15%. I am debating if I should get one.

I just saw these on the net and came here to see if anybody had gotten one. I really like the idea of these. Perhaps even a custom one as none of the models available is tacky and loud enough for my tastes. Oh, the possibilities.

Very much grateful for the pics and reviews. I think ill bite. I like to here things like the fit is so good I don't know how they did it. Thanks again.

[Review] Cygnett Crystal Clear Case

Just recently picked up the Cygnett Crystal Clear Case which can be found at their main site (currently out of stock) or at your local Fry's or Fry's online store.
http://us.cygnett.com/products/cases-and-armbands/crystal-clear-pc-hard-case-galaxy-s3.html

I apologize in advance for the crappy pictures, I dont have a better camera.
When I got this case, I was mainly going for one thing, looks. I love the color of my pebble blue and wanted a case that would protect my phone from minor everyday scratches while still showcasing its looks. This case does just that as the plastic is clear and the color of my phone shows through very well. Additionally, the case has a slightly raised lip around the side and part of the corner. It is raised as high the width of a penny which ensures if you like to put your phone face down on surfaces, the screen wont get scratched by stray sand and miscellaneous crap. What I also like about the case is that the bottom does not have a raised lip which makes it feel so much nicer when Im pressing the soft capacitive buttons or the home button. The cutouts for the power and volume rocker are big enough that you can press them easily without forcing it, yet not too big where you can accidentally press them whenever you pickup your phone or pull it out of a mount (happened quite often when I had no case). The cutouts for the camera, speaker, and flash fits very well with 2-3 mm of space around the speaker and flash while the camera has it right up to the metal ring. The feel of the case feels (smoothness) is almost identical to the phone which I also like since I like turning the phone in my hands when Im bored.
There are some annoyances though. Im not sure why maybe it is the material the case and the phone is made out of, but there will be spots on the back after putting on the case where the case and the battery cover touches will show small splotches, almost like it is wet, but it isnt because I have tried wiping and cleaning it multiple times and it is the same. The splotches appear at random spots when you take off the case and put it back on. I cant really capture it since my camera sucks. It's a small thing and I can get over it pretty quickly but if you are OCD about those kinda things, this might bother you like hell. Also I am not sure if it is how the case was made or if this was a returned merchandise (this was the last one at frys) but the case has minor scuffs and lines going up and down. You cant really see it directly but when light shines on it, it shows.
Overall I would definitely recommend this case if you're looking for an aesthetically pleasing case that doesnt hide your phone and you know you wont drop your phone from too high up. Since I dont think this case will protect your phone from a bad fall... might help but definitely wouldnt try it.

Griffin technology Survivor

Case is officially out
http://store.griffintechnology.com/...rvivor-with-belt-clip-for-samsung-galaxy-siii
Figure I'd update my OP:
Ok sooo lets start with my review of the Griffin Survivor for the Samsung Galaxy S3.
Well if you order directly from griffin you get this nice clearly labeled box.

Inside that box you have the box with the case in it.
(notice the Griffin in the lower left corner, knock offs won't have this)
I got a catalog with stuff for christmas gifts, a little warranty card and instructions on how to put your phone in the case.
Case has 4 pieces: Hard piece you phone sits in, Thick rubber peice goes around the back part, and the top part with the Screen Protector also the Belt Clip.
Once you get the phone in this is what it it looks like.
Hitting the menu and back button takes some getting use to but it's easy enough. The home button is very responsive same with the power and volume rockers. The screen protector feels good, not plastic like the otterbox defender. All sensors and front camera work perfectly as well as the LED light.
Back of the phone feels very secure and easy to grip.
The little flap spins out of the way and doesn't effect picture quality for me. Also the speaker is covered by a membrane of some type.
Headphone jack is easily accessible.there is also a hole for the noise cancellation up there.
I have tested both the straight headphones and a 90 degree angle tip and both fit ( not flush but enough to play music without any problems).
.
Plenty of room for your chargers and the microphone port is there at well.
Since the belt clip can be face in or face out it doubles as a very useful kick stand. And rotates 90 degrees.
Ok done with the pictures. All in all this feels like a great case for protection. It does add a bit of bulk but it's a small trade off for Military grade protecting.
Any random questions feel free to ask me.

I'm not impressed, looks a bit ugly and bulky for me. I'm waiting for the lifeproof case, I'm really liking my wife's iPhone version so if they do a good job with the s3 that's the one I'm getting.

the one in the video doesnt look the same as the one on the website..
someone commented under the video and said it's a knock off
figure when he wrote that he got the case for $15 on ebay

I used a survivor on my iPhone 4 before the Lifeproof came out. They are good solid cases but If you want to shove your phone in and outta your pocket forget it! Also It's far from slim.

OP updated with some pics and somewhat a review.

this case could survive a grenade

Knowing me I'll put it through its paces over the next week. Idk if I can find a grenade though.

LGOG Premium S Curve TPU Case

Hi guys,
Just wanted to write a quick review of a case I bought on eBay
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/190823724544?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
Fits all variants of the OG except for the AT&T OG (8MP camera)
Very good for $7 ($3.50 each) - I bought the black and blue.
Cutouts for camera / flash / speakers / ports well done.
Cut out for 3.55m jack more than enough to accommodate jacks with the big outer shell, if you know what I mean.
Case fits very well. No chance of falling out.
Installation was very easy.
The finish on the back feels good to the touch and rubbery side grips are good, much better than the nude slippery glass of the OG to hold now lol.
If you want a cheap case that covers the back & sides, this is the one to go to. Good for Aussies who are looking for a case!
Here's some pictures I took of it

Yeh I bought this case in a local mall close by to me.. Was surprised to see it considering the lack of cases available. Have had it on my G for the past few months and its been a treat.. Actually have dropped my phone twice with it on and its been perfect so far
My only gripe is that the elevated edges makes my screen get dirtier faster and makes it harder to clean.. Otherwise its a great case

Oooo I like the purple colour in the auction pics, but then they have a video of some silicon cases and they look ugly as and really transparent? Wonder if they would ship to NZ

im using the same case but a transparent 1 :laugh: got it FOC from the stall

L-01E
Do you guys think this could fit a Japanese-spec OG; an L-01E?

Would it rip into the sceen protector and cause bubbles like most of my other cases?

Nope.using this case since i bought the phone.i like it because it's protecting the silver frame.

Just got me a black and blue one, perfect, except the buttons are a bit touchy but you get that.

I've got this tpu case and it shows a smooth finish, the holes are really well done, but I fell the buttons a bit dull, I don't know how to explain. For example, I have some difficulty to take screenshots pressing the Vol Down and Power buttons at the same time. Power button is not so easy to use.
This case looks like to offer a very good protection to the phone. I hope I won't need to prove it...

@sianghung, From where did you buy the transparent case?

im from Malaysia, the stall gave it to me FOC.

I have the same case (black). I love it. Fits perfectly. Recently I accidentally dropped my phone on a concrete surface. If I was without a case, the glass or the metalic part were goners. But with this case it was fine. Just wiped the dust.

Hey, fellow Vancouverite here... Can you give me a hint where you found it locally? I know it's been a while since your post, but who knows... I have another case, but wouldn't mind getting this one, as this is exactly what I used for my SGS2, and I loved it. Thanks in advance!

I use this tpu case.
it offers good protection in falls, great price.

Ebestsale Transparent Silicone Case Review

Two cases arrived at my door today and I quickly opened them. The Ebestsale Transparent Silicone Case is actually a TPU case and not silicone. This case is made of the exact same material as the previous case I reviewed, but has its own differences.
The package came with one screen protector, one piece of cloth and the other case I ordered from this company. After bending this TPU case, I quickly noticed that it is much sturdier than the previous Walsontop TPU case. It is not very easy to deform as drastically as the Walsontop. Putting this on the One gave one of the most satisfactory sounds I look for when fitting anything into something else, the snap. This case clicks on the One and fits very well. It fits so well that you can still feel the sturdiness of the One. There isn't a mushy feel that I get when using rubber cases.
While it provides a great fit, removing it will chalk up the sandstone black's back plate. It's no worry as you can rub it down to erase it, but it may get difficult to remove it without experiencing many of these soft scratches (Baby Skin White users will not experience this).
The slots for all the ports on the side are much larger and more comfortable then the previous Walsontop TPU case. The power button and volume buttons are much more comfortable to press, but not perfect. The rubber around the slots do not move around very easily and quickly return to its original position if it's disturbed. It seems that the company that manufactured this case spent more time cutting the holes for the ports. Each one is cut in irregular asymmetrical shapes whereas the Walsontop's holes were all symmetrical.
The sides are raised and cover more of the bezel which is great when taking damage from certain heights. After doing what I call a "quarter test", where I place a quarter under the screen and move the phone, the quarter remains stationary. It's difficult to see any of the fingerprints on the sides in my case because the blue color hides it well. As far as I know, this blue is the only color Ebestsale sells for this type of case. Overall, this case was a great buy and perhaps the one that will be on my phone if the Nikilin hard case arriving tomorrow doesn't change that. This case is definitely worth more than it costs.

Pros: Fits very well - Sturdy - Great Port Holes - Overlaps bezels well
Cons: Difficult to remove - Will Scuff Sandstone Back

looks decent, ordered mine from aliexpress for like $1.35
I really don't like how easy it is to scuff the sandstone back

I think that is going to be a major cosmetic issue with our phones. Imagine how the back will look after 12 months of serious use.
