Officially the best case in the WORLD :)

I was at the mall about a week ago and there's those little cell phone accessory kiosks and they had a case i had never seen, something that i had only seen for Evo's and Incredible's and such
I tried it on and it fit like a dream only downfall was that they wanted $25 when i knew they had just gotten them just like all the other rip off Kiosks, from Hong Kong. i tried to bargain her down to $15 i told her i can get it on ebay for like 3-5 bucks (which i lied of course because I'm always on there looking for new ****) and she refused so i walked away mad as hell because that ***** was trying to rip me off damnit
anyways so i went on ebay and i couldn't find anything but i look today and what do i find? the same **** she had a Hybrid (Combination of Hard Plastic and TPU) Case for the Vibrant
Im ordering mine now i dont really have to tell you that it fits great because i already did but THIS THING FITS REALLY REALLY GOOD!! all the cutouts are nice and not hacked

lol creo que si es ciego j/k

Uh..That's cool. It's not like I'm giving a hard time because he emailed me the thread right after he made it and thought it'd be funny to post that. But hey I apologize for "Flaming" him online. I didn't know he had an online BF to protect him from criticism. What a joke.

Lol the funny **** is that is my friend in real life giving me **** lol sorry Drotherman
and yes that is the exact case, I just ordered mine it fits super nice heres a vid of the same general idea but on an Evo

only difference is instead of it having a design or being clear its like a smoked glass

Thanks for the video! I like it... i now have the T-Mobile gel case and i'm getting sick of it, always sticking on my pocket and dirt on it so i am getting it. Thanks once again

neat, but i dont see how this is preferable to a 100% TPU case... the back plastic is going to get scratched up on this, the TPU cases wont.

Spent 10bucks which included shipping. I guess for my first case it couldn't hurt.
Thanks for the heads up.

Ordered. For $10 why not?

I kinda felt the same way about the official Tmo gel case even though I like the way it feels in hand, the whole getting stuck in the pocket is getting old. The other day the phone slipped out of my hand and fell from about 5' luckily it fell on its side and it bounced a couple times, thanks to that spongy case the phone was unharmed.
I too like the look of this skin, but can it provide the same protection?

The 100% TPU case is nice i personally just don't like the plain back, i have 3 TPU cases One of the original clear smoked (with diamond design on the back) an all white one and an all black on and there's something about the plain looking back and the gay diamonds that i don't like. Its true the plastic might get scratched up and worse case scenario might even crack but i really like this design for some reason

yes and less risk of damaging your case on top of that

So do the volume buttons and the power buttons feel good even though they aren't actually poking through? The only problem I have with my case right now is that since they haven't cut holes through for the buttons it requires quite a bit of pressure in order to use them. Not cool.

to be honest with you that's one thing i forgot to check i was loving the fitment so much i didn't even think to check. It really is a pain in the ass to have to hit the power button and the volume rockers so hard but i guess we will all find out at about the same time. Ive sort of gotten used to having to mash it to be honest lol
maybe i should go back to that mall and see if they still have that case and if so "test" fit it again lol

just ordered this as well, I have so many cases for this phone now but this one seems to have a lot more protection than the mesh type cases that I own.

fair enough, i wasnt really a fan of the octagon pattern but i just needed a case ASAP. it actually looks pretty neat with the blue dot pattern on the battery cover imo, but hey, to each his own.

HEY HEY HEY NO SPAM IN HERE lol j/k yeah they have basically all the same **** from ebay but for more money lol so..... how about you spot me for that Micro USB to HDMI cable from daydeal? i'll pay you back i swear

looks pretty good. does it make it any less slippery? i've been wanting a case, and this is the first one i've seen that isn't horribly huge/ugly, but i've been wanting one to make this slippery phone easier to hold.

yes it does but not if you have chicken grease on your fingers

does it completely cover the chrome bezel?

I think this is the BEST case for the vibrant

Not sure if anybody's tried this case or posted a thread about it but this TPU case is less than 5 bucks so I figured I can't really lose much here if I'm not satisfied. I bought the other TPU case that's pretty common on ebay with the polygon design on the back and I hated it because it made the unlock button so ridiculously hard to press that I had to use my nail. I eventually ended up cutting the button out with a razor blade but I was still unhappy because I didn't like the polygon design.
When I saw this case I noticed in the photos that the button design on the case were circular instead of squared like the other TPU case and that the back design were just criss-cross diagonal lines which I thought looked MUCH better and the circular button design appeared to function a lot better from the photos although I wasn't quite sure but like I said I figured what the heck could I really lose but 5 bucks.
Anywho, I got the case in today and it's the PERFECT case that I've been looking for. It keeps the phone looking thin and the buttons are soft and easy to press just like I was hoping. It functions just like the black silicone case you can get from tmobile but still keeps the phone looking thin. I definitely recommend this case and I think it comes in various colors.
Just wanted to give my .02 cents and sorry for the ridiculously long post lol

Very nice...Liking the power button.
Can u take pics with it on and of the buttons?

I can't really take any photos cause I don't have another camera but it pretty much looks exactly the way it's shown in the ebay photos. The fitment is great also. It's really well worth the 4.48 or whatever the price was lol.

I had something similar for my HTC Magic, the one issue I had with the case though is since it is silicone and not as hard as some materials, you have to make sure you keep the case in its shape; I flashed a new Rom on my Magic every 12 hours (which required to take the case on and off frequently) and my case started to become deformed and leave major spaces between the phone and the case allowing dust to get inside.
This is just my experience from a similar product but try it, it protected my phone from many drops without giving the phone itself any damage.

do these types of cases stick to your pockets? I have the t-mobile gel case and it pulls my pocket lining out with it half the time.

No these are made of tpu so it's not sticky like ordinary silicone skins. It's a more solid material. Doesn't have that rubbery feel that regular silicone cases have. I have the tmobile gel skin too and although it's much better then your average silicone case I didn't like how it added a lot of bulk to the front of the phone.

thanks, i agree the t-mobile case is bulky as well

ahhh, i bought that, got it 2 days ago, i LOVE it.
it covers the front around all the way until the glass area so its very tight.
very flexible, and in my opinion i think it offers more protection than the hard cases because of the cushioning you get from the flexibility of the material, but its still very solid, pretty easy to take on and off too.

bought one and agree
very nice case, great tight fit, minus the annoyances of all other cases I had tried

Is this the same as this case?

If so I really like that case and would like another design pattern.

No that one is different. That case has a hard backing where as this case is silicone tpu all around.

Ah Ok, I was hoping it was somewhat simular. I could really go for another look. Black gets a bit boring after a while.

Accessories for Epic 4G Touch

This is a placeholder post!

Here's Samsung's own list of accessories. I'm hoping to find the Spare Battery Charging System at in-store somewhere at launch, as even with the claims about battery life on this phone I'm pretty sure I'll need it. I bought the battery alone (official) for about $20 on eBay for my original Epic, along with a cheap knock-off charger, but it seems like it would be worth having the nice stand this time. Plus I suspect since we're kind of a one-off on the battery it might be a while before we see the accessories popping up online.
The other thing I'm looking for is a good holster. So far all I've found is this which may have to do. I've always preferred clip-in holsters, but I had a leather one carry me through my Moment and Epic that I've been happy with, so I may do the same again.

Here at the sprint stores, we'll be selling a slim case with built-in kickstand
It's pretty nice. It's all black, the back is a sort of tough nylon weave, and the kickstand is a black metal band the runs the whole width about a third of the way down, and a tiny hinge in the middle, so half of the band is the kickstand. I like it because it's a nice alternative to traditional plasticky cases, and the kickstand appears to be pretty durable. The fabric feel will definitely take some getting used to, but one upside I've found so far is the awesome amount of grip...this thing should never slip out of your hand.
EDIT: when I get in to work today I'll try and take a couple pics and post em up here

Not bad looking but certainly won't fit in the car dock. I use that for all my music and movies in the cars so I hope it is not to bad to get on and off the phone but strong enough to stay on if dropped. I would definitely try the carbon fiber thought. Looks nice!

I just returned from the closest Sprint store (an hour away) and while they didn't have the phone, they had 2 cases and a set of screen protectors. The case in that picture is exactly what the Sprint store had. It was even in a Samsung labeled clamshell container, making me think that maybe its a Samsung original product??? Anyway, I thought it looked very nice and would have bought it had they allowed it. They said the pricing wasn't available yet, so they couldn't sell it.

Anyone getting a Tech21 D30 case?

I noticed the first released D30 cases for the s3 were pretty lousey in terms of full protection, (no top or bottom coverage at all hardly) and i didn't like them compared to what they offered for the S2.
This new claimed impact band they have on their site looks like their old case design from the s2 where it actually protects the full edges around the phone and the back even, but i don't know what this clear plastic material is made out of , whether softish rubber like the old cases or a harder plastic..
I'm curious if anyone will be getting these or have a chance to see one in a store (probably in the uk i'm guessing? i'm in the US) and maybe they could snap a few pics or a little movie showing how the case looks, if its flexible rubber at all or just some info about it?
would love to read any kind of review or something about this one.. Seems not many people are interested in the Tech21 cases but that material of theirs seems to be pretty magical stuff if it actually makes a difference in protection!
http://shop.tech21.uk.com/store/ProductDetail/TE0101YAB006W_Impact-Band--Samsung-Galaxy-Siii
There's a link to the newer case they have on their website (they also have a mesh version which i'm not sure the difference is between the price).

They made that clear case for the one s also I believe it's the same material but just clear.

so then a firm but still somewhat flexible rubber?

Just ordered the mesh one. Hopefully it arrives soon enough so I can review it against the Neo Hybrid I also have incoming.

New Case
I also ordered the Impact Mesh case. If you guys have received yours, kindly upate this page with your reviews!

Thank you both for letting us know you've ordered them, I'm pretty much looking to get your impressions, and also if either of you could do a little youtube video showing how well it fits (if the case is a little flexible) or anything like that, that would be awesome..
currently have an incipio and i feel the rubber on the very top and bottom (lip area) is too soft, someotimes i nearly peel it off the phone as i'm taking it out of my pocket, so i'm hoping for a very firm rubberized feel on the d30 as well as a nice thick solid lip so if it does ever land on concrete it might have some good protection face down.
I await either of your responses (or anyone else who gets one of these newer designed ones).

The rubber should be very firm, it's TPU after all. The Incipio Silicrylic (assuming that's what you have) is Sillicone based IINM so it's understandably soft.
The S3 Neo Hybrid and Incipio Faxion are both PC/TPU hybrids, so you might wanna look into them too.
But no problem, I'll update you on case once I get it.

ahhh Yeah its the Silicrylic SHINE or something like that.. Its better than the nothing i had before, but my friend had a d30 on his galaxy 2 and he liked it very much, it was very firm on it, I didnt know that it was probably TPU? it felt like a very hard rubber.
will monitor this post! hope you guys get em soon!

Thank you for the link, Though i'm more curious now about their 'band' case as it looks to be a bit heftier, if anyone gets the band please post here about it.

Even MORE d3o Cases!
I wanted to add a little more to this, I went into tmobile randomly today and they had a NEW style d3o case.. Different from the Snap case and different from the BAND case as well. They only had PINK in stock, i dont know why but they order like 8 pinks and 1 smoke black, and then sell out smoke black (this is what he told us it was gone fast). So i just tried out the pink.. Gotta say tho the one i pulled off the shelf sure looked a little scratched up on the back for being NEW!...
Inside of course is the identifiable orange band of protection.. also the lip is significantly smaller than my current INCIPIO case, i compared them side to side, but its also thinner.. I gotta say if it can offer better protection than the INCIPIO its definately attractive to have a thinner case! .. I checked this out in the store, i did NOT buy pink. Apparently Tech21's website lists white, blue, black, pink, and smoke transparent. (wish they had pure clear like the mesh one).

All in all this case seems like it might be what I wanted originally. My friend had a Tech21 D3o for his Galaxy S2 and he liked it very much, he said he had dropped it and never had any damage to the phone, but since the release of the S3 Tech21 has been sucking in my opinion for cases, first that snap case that offered very little protection on the front and nearly NONE on the top and bottom of the phone (what was that about?!) then they released the Band which looked a bit more promising but just kind of looked funky with taht 'window' on the back.. (although i do like a completely clear case with the orange band, would remind me of a creamcicle!).. Then now they release this one which looks alot more like the original s2 case that he had. I just wish there was more reviews on these cases, they just dont seem that popular. If Tech21 is reading this and wants to send me all their s3 cases i'll review em
If anyone ends up getting this one, give us any thoughts you have, cuz in the store it didnt seem too bad... OH one other thing, aparently Tech21 went with shinny smooth texture this time instead of flat matte becuase according to the tmobile guy, the old cases were collecting alot of lint and dust from pockets and also scuffing up and looking more dated/dirty quicky, so they went with a shiney kind of texture, My friend didnt like the shiney as much he was afriad it was more prone to slipping out of the hand, but we didnt have any actual testing or handling with it, just a few minutes for pictures.
Lastely the buttons on the side (at least the wake/power button) is a little more stiff to push in this case, I actually like this becuase i constantly push this button when i'm trying to adjust the volume or take the phone out of my pocket and it accidently gets hit, so i like the fact that this seems to give me a little more resistence and possibly stop me from doing that.

This is the case I have. I ordered it (in blue) from GoCellular (great prices there, btw: http://www.gocellular.ca/?item=te3028 ) and I am waiting on the GS3 itself to arrive since I just ordered it. I'll upload my review once I get it.

Hard Cases?

Ok i looked through the lets talk cases thread. Mostly everything seems to be your normal flip cover case that offers minimal corner protection when dropping. Has anyone found any good shell cases with a flip over screen protector? It would feel nice to just hold a case that offers great drop protection and screen protection withput the added bulk. When i take my note out my roocase i dont wanna put it back in. It becomes much lighter and easier to deal with.

I too am looking for a hard case, similar to Otterbox's Commuter series, and can't seem to find any.

That's still a soft case though.

i havnt found one yet. Lookin for one that covers the corners and sides and that also has a screen cover that flips backwards and behind to give a good sturdy feel when standing by itself. Needs auto wakeup as well.

Vivanco Tucano Youngster. A universal case with rubber bands holding the tablet(not so stylish), a zipper, looks rain and dust proof and is padded.

Incipio might have what you're looking for

That looked good, but you can't charge it with the flap closed. I called them and asked.... You have to leave it open to charge. I don't want to leave it open to charge it. I want my screen being protected while it's charging.

I'm not sure how new this case is. Otterbox is not coming out with a case, nor is gumdrop.
But Trident has one:

I'd like to wait for reviews to see how it is in real life before pulling the plug and buying!

With the total lack of hard cases out there I will be purchasing one of these since I use my tablet for work all day. Was hoping Otterbox was going to come out with one, anyone know why they aren't?

I was honestly hoping that Otterbox would come out with one too... They have one for the old Note 10.1, so you think that they would produce something for the new one. Oh well. And I agree, the lack of hard cases is somewhat disappointing. I have been searching for one ever since I got my Note 10.1 in October. Even doing an Amazon search three months later, it still yields some very poor results. The Trident case looks really nice though, I may have to purchase one of those. So thank you for posting that.

I contacted Gumdrop and was told that they had no plans to make a case for this tablet. I have one of Gumdrops cases for my Nexus 7 2013 and its a nice product. I think I'll order the Trident case since there doesn't seem to be any other heavy duty case on the market at this time. I need the protection on the jobsite.

This moku has a hard plastic back and covers the corners. Thin flip cover:
http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DLZW7PM/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I'm using it at the moment, but may go back to just using a slip case, as I find the flip cover in my way when hand-holding.

How sturdy is it when standing? Does it fall easy?

I've only used it on a table, where it is fine. I really don't use the stand, but rather flip the cover against the back and hold the pad.

Trident Case came in today. Much nicer than I thought it would be. I will upload some pics later.

Does the Trident case protect the screen?

here are some pics of the trident case. The installation of this case on a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the hardest was a 8 to me. I had dissemble and reassemble it several times to finally get everything to fit together properly. The silicone covering just did not want to stay in its place. I almost wanted to add some lubrication of some type to the silicone, but the mess after that would have been crazy. I rarely use built in screen protectors but decided to leave this one in place. I want a tempered glass protector but have not found one I like yet. I removed the screen protector from my note 3 zerolemon as soon as I unboxed it. The screen protector with this trident attracts fingerprints like crazy. I had to continuously wipe the fingerprints off during assembly. Very annoying. After getting everything together this case looks alot better than I imagined it would. This case is exactly what I was looking for. I use my tablet for work. I use the tablet so customers can sign invoices. I then am able to email signed documents immediately for invoicing or approval. Another benefit to this case is the sound channeling ports. These ports direct sound to the front of the tablet. Music sounds better and louder. Next during work will be the real test.
