It kinda scratched 3 of my 4 corners as well. Not too bad, but you can see it's there. I really like the case, but taking it off and putting it on risks scratching it. Thank goodness i bought the gel case as well.

It's too tight and I am always afraid that I break off one of the buttons especially the camera button. I don't use this case anymore.
had this damn case and I think since I used it my bezel started to make a clicky noise at the lower left edge of the phone, I probably loosened the bezel when this damn too tight case wouldn't come off or it put pressure on the bezel the entire time and loosened it.
I've had no problems with the case on my phone. I do grit my teeth a little trying to take it off in fear it will hurt the phone, but it hasn't. I have so many people wanting a case with a kickstand for their phone. They are so jealous of my case!

I'm thinking of ordering this case, are you liking it?
I have this case as well. I show some very minor scratching on it and have taken it off countless times. The easiest way I can remove it is by starting in the upper left corner (near the ambient light sensor) and popping it off there. Then I put a nail under the lower left corner and pop it out. I never take it out from the right side first because the camera button isn't as flush as the volume button. The only real issue I have is the case doesn't extend far out enough to protect the chrome lip around the screen. Other than that, this case will hold me over just fine until Otterbox releases a defender for it.
Same case issue with scratching on the same spot. Also waiting for otterbox to come out. At least it will cover the scratches.

This is how the body glove case fits the captivate, sorry the screen is a little dirty but this is the best fitting case i have seen.

a lot of rave about this case and i must agree. minimalistic cases that don't add a lot of bulk are the way to go!
i'm definitely ordering one when i get mine. thanks for the pics. i can clearly see how high it raises in the front.
have you had any issue with the case scratching the back of your phone? or if it decreases signal/GPS? (see this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=764406)
This case fits perfectly. I haven't noticed any difference with gps either, it wasnt working before the case and still isnt working. As for the case scratching the phone, I dont think that will happen because the case isnt hard enough to scratch and I still have the plastic on the back of my phone.

i have this case and it does fit well, i'm not a fan of the back, but alas this is really all we've got right now. i also noticed that i have scratches on the front bezel near the top and bottom of the phone. i think maybe dust or debris get trapped there and just start to rub. i dont think there is a way to fix it though. i had the same issue with cases and the metal bezel on my iphone.
What is this case made from, and how does it feel? Just curious

Its gel/rubber, it feels really good and durable. Adds a nice grip to the phone...

I think most people have found them at AT&T Stores, though they can be found online if you search hard enough.

I picked up a body glove from Best Buy. I waited until they unboxed them and tied it before I went and checked out. Great fit, flexible but thick and offers decent protection. Not what you would get from a hard case, but one of the better gloves I have tried. 24 plus tax.
This is the case I am using until Otterbox releases something I like better. I am not too sure I need an otterbox but I have no issues with this case (body glove)
It fits just fine and offers enough protection for my needs.
I picked up the gel case from samsung's website that says galaxy s on the back, it is pricy at 30 bucks but it fits and looks awesome and has actual raised buttons which is great,i had an all black one but this is a sweet phone and I want it to look sweet, if you spent 200 or more to get a sweet phone spend 30 bucks and get the nicest case made that looks awesome as well, ya know what maybe it was 20 bucks can't remember

I have stop using cases for quite sometime. The main reason is that here in Cambodia it is so affordable and convenient to get gadget flim wrap.
In the past I only use either clear and frosted flims. I opt for colored flim for my SIII.
Here is how it look like.

"Don't mind the crappy screen protector. Waiting for the ones from xtremeguard"
from the original post.
the point of cases are to protect your phone.
if you want it to just look good, then i think your idea is great.
but when the phone drop face down then i dont think there would be any protection

Is that a wrap on the side as well? if so then how it feel and does it look like it will peel easily? I could use one on my pebble blue phone where the bezel is purple!
I'm going to give the official flip case a try once I finally get my Verizon version of the SGS3 here in the US. I'm bummed out that it doesn't have a magnetic clasp or anything to keep it closed, but at the same time it's a full on case so the phone should obviously handle drops much better. That all being said, the phone is gorgeous and I'm not gonna want keep it hidden! I have the full protection from Verizon so whatever happens to my phone I'll just get another one anyways.
I'm still on the fence. At this point though I'm leaning more towards no case.
i don't think screen protector is of any use because it is gorilla glass

I actually think my white S3 looks better with a Matt black case, because I like the white border around the camera, flash and speaker which contrasts against the black case, and then the black border around edge of phone, I mean not everyone will like that but I dog
I doesn't peel off easily and yes the side is wrapped. So far all the film that the shop doesn't love residue when it is removed.
It is a rough textured. Sort of like mildly used sand paper.

I've been a huge fan of this product for years ---> http://www.plastidip.com/
It's basically a spray on rubberized coating that is also 100% REMOVABLE!
I have been using it on trim pieces and rims on my car for years.
Out of sheer boredom, I decided I would try the product on my Moto G battery cover.
Turned out great!!
On my last coat, I got near the bottom of the can (was using left overs), so a couple of bubbles appeared.
But this was just a proof of concept, spur of the moment situation.
Next time I am going to use a fresh can, and maybe a different colour.
Anyway, here are my results!
Tell me what you think!

Here are some pics of me removing the coating. Peels off easily. Leaves no marks.
Looks nice! But maybe a bit too ruggy, not for the bubbles, on the rest too. But I guess that happens with any spray painting Unluckily. Anyway, looks nice to me :thumbup:

Thanks. The thing is that it's not paint. It's fully removable and leaves no trace. This was just a rush job with some almost empty left over cans. Just wanted to see how well it would sick. Going for a different color and better quality next time

One phone ago I sprayed my Nexus S's battery cover with clear Plasti-Dip and it did not hold well at the edges, and would start peeling away rather quickly.
Please keep us posted, and if it does work, maybe some tips on application or something?

Anyway thanks.
I am using Amzer back Tpu pudding case for my nexus 5 black, yesterday when i removed my case for cleaning the phone i found that there is mark which is in the image below. Actully there are around 7 like this and i think it is caused by the case when dust is trapped and due to the presure when i wear sometimes a tight jeans it causes this.
Is there any one who us having this issue?

This kinda thing will happen with most of the cases. Soft TPU material or not, over a period of time there will be lint stuck under it which will scratch the back plate! It can't be helped. The corners of the device are also prone to scratches when using cases.

That's one of the reasons why I use pouches. I bought a handmade one few weeks ago and I'm loving it!
When the phone goes to my pocket, it's in the pouch so that it doesn't get scratched and when it's out, I use it naked.
However, if you're clumsy and tend to drop your phone, pouches aren't for you.

I am very carefull with my device. I do not keep my device on any hard surface. Accident's can happen thats why i was using the back cover. Jeans pockets are soft they wont scratch my Nexus 5. From now on only scratch gaurd would be used nothing else. Pouch would be difficult for me in keeping inside and taking out the phone every time. And thanks for replying:good:

go to your hardware store, its 5bucks. completely removable if you dont like. i used to dip my chrome parts of our cars.
That'll look good for about 20 seconds until I put it in my pocket and the edge starts to peel up.
Plasti-dip works well for things which are either 100% covered or aren't being handled.
The edges will peel up soon.
Not mine. You have to wait to fully dry. I waited 1hr and its on my garage since it's very hot

Now get out your seat and hump around, 21 hump street, 22 hump street, humping jack flash is a gas gas gas.
To answer the question, plastidip is removable. Peels right off.
Lol meant jump
That dip is easy to remove he aint worried about T-Mobile
Plastidip peels right off, no worries about it. And if it doesn't peel in one piece, it will peel into pieces that you can just pull apart. The more coat you put, the thicker and stronger they become. There are different ways of applying it too, yielding different results. If you spray it from afar, you get micro droplets and they come out matte and bumpy after several coats, like OP's outcome. But if you spray from up close, maybe about 2-3 inches, in short bursts, it will dry with a shinier sheen to it. After a few coats, it'll be a rubbery shiny coat. Not glossy, but more like Satin-Semi Gloss. Make sure to get the edges well as well, otherwise the edges will peel easily due to its thinness.

Nice! I might try this. Speaking of slippery, I threw my phone out of my car window the other day. I pulled up to the drive-thru at starbucks, pulled my phone out to pay and it slipped right out of my hand, flew at the barista, bounced off the drive-thru window and flew behind the car. The barista looked back at it and said, "Nice, your screen didn't shatter."
