Im ordering this one since its cheap while i wait for defender.

Wish the pics were better so I could see what it really looked like...I cant quite make out the pattern on the back. Looks like a weave look near the top, not sure if that carries on down the entire back or not. Any one have a link to pics with better lighting, or even better...a video? Thanks for sharing, it looks nice but not sure if I can spend $20 for just a silicone case....

Pics anybody?

Mine is sitting at home on the counter, my wife just sent me a picture of it with her phone, but she has an LG Lotus Elite, so I'm not really sure if you want to see that, haha.

I bought the Commuter....meh....it's ok. Got my Impact today and I think I've found the case for me. love it so far.
I like the case. It's pretty much what i've been looking for in terms of having good protection without the bulk. I'll try to post pics later.
Edit: pics. not great...but you get an idea.

Nice, looks a little bulky. Currently using a Seidio case. But i did place an order for the impact case today. Was in between the commuter one and impact. Thanks for posting pics.

it's thicker than your normal silicone case but I think the Seidio (I have the Surface) makes the phone bulkier. The impact at least is more form fitting and doesn't add as much bulk. I will say that the Impact adds more screen protection than the Commuter. You can lay it face down with less worries.

Does the impact case collect lint and dust like the commuter?

How deep does the camera recess look, since you have it would you mind looking from the side?

Just got home (late night at work) and LOVE it! Great case, I had the body glove case till it broke around the volume rocker. This case solves the button area issues perfectly. My wife also really likes the way it fits and looks, so it's not just me either.

yep...not sure what the other guy was referring to wishing it fit tighter. It's snug. As far as lint, I haven't had a silicone case that didn't collect lint in the beginning. Then after a few days lint is usally not a problem.

Nice, that's the case I'm currently using. I really like it. It sounds like ill be happy with the impact case. Thanks

Yes,
after the Evo has been replaced apparently.

Production will apparently start 12/10/2010. Just remember production and release are two totally different things.
I can go start "producing" a deuce right now..It will be released soon after, though.

Shipping now!!!

I'm happy for all of you Ballistic HC fans, but has anyone heard from Ballistic if they plan on creating an SG case for the EVO? I really like their SG line for the iPhone. I like the HC case but am concerned it will look like I've got a phonebook in my pocket.

more to come after i smoke it over...

the case came in a plane jane white box. inside is the invoice and then the case was wrapped in bubble wrap. nothing fancy but no one needs fancy packaging anyway.
the case was bigger than i thought however the phone fits in the case just nicely.
included is an instruction card, the "squeegee card", screen protector, and cleaning cloth.
i am NOT a fan of the kickstand. its plastic and it can break off if you hyper extend it.it "snaps" into place in its "docked" position. when you pull the kickstand out, there is no positive "click" or lock mechanism to let you know its out.
the silicon shell feels like the sprint silicon case. it has a rubber cover over the hdmi and usb ports. as for the camera, leds, speaker in back, there is a plastic piece covering those up. so keep this clean of debris when you want to snap a photo.
overall the case is a winner for me. it is indeed rugged and solid feeling.

Get that beast on your phone. Waiting on pics patiently, for now.

screen protector is separate? Hmmm

its thick! i just dropped it thigh! high (as opposed to waist level--too scared) face first and it still works normally thus far. the holster is nice and its BIG! lol. the case can fit in the holster with or without the silicon jacket. the phone sits in the thing nicely..reminds me of a panasonic toughbook.
if there is a specific photo you want to see, let me know and ill snap one. the video of the case at the website pretty much shows the case in real life.
i can tell you the red accent style case will be dynamite!

there is a separate screen protector you can apply yourself AND the top part of the case that snaps onto the..well.. top has a built in screen protector, which is absolutely nice IMO...

kick stand is flimsy and it will pop off! i just made a super quick video and you see it pop off.LOL but it snaps back on...maybe its a safety feature?
yes you can still operate with one hand....

Can you compare the size to an Otterbox Defender? Without the silicon shell on....

ohhh looks like i need to get a new case. I am a clutz

Looks great, at least they learned their lesson of trying to include their own kick stand like the Evo Defender case. That piece of junk broke 4x on me.

SOLID!
Have an otterbox for my old G2. Will definitely buy when availiable.

doesn't look like its gonna fit the extended battery though... bummer

Looks like the kickstand may be hard(er) to get out with this case on it. Wish it had a picture from the kickstand opening side to see how the clearence is from the case

Looks like the kickstand cut out is angled to allow easy opening. It kinda looks like you can fit a finger nail in there with no problem. If you compare both sides the pivoting point doesn't have the angled slit.

Ya i can see the angle on that side, just wish it had a pic. Big fingers can make it quite hard if its a tiny space to reach into

yeah i got a reply email from obox the other day about this but wish it was the commuter case instead of this one. The commuter is so much more sleek and form fitting you almost dont even know its a case. Ive had both b4 and def prefer the commuter.

hm...will I need to return or resell my seidio on ebay...

I hope they get this done soon! I dropped my old samsung all the time but I was more comforted by the AMOLED display. I'm going to try no case until this comes out, just hope I don't any accidents before then!

That's nice.
Now they need to make one for the extended battery.

Looks really nice, especially compared to some of their other super bulky designs. I'm with the rest of you too.. the commuter cases are really nice. (had one on my previous iPhone for a good bit of time)

I like it too but $50!!!!! for a case? That is 1/3 the price of the phone. I paid $150 for the phone and am not spending $50 for a case.

$50th to insure I don't break it. I'll take it

I'd rather go with a cheap soft case, and put what's leftover towards insurance.

I love these. Had one on my OG and will put one on the Bolt when these are available.

Extended battery is a must have for me. Hopefully they will make one for that.

You can usually find them for cheaper. When I was shopping for a case for my Blackberry I was sold on the OB but I was hesitant on the 50 bones for it. I found it on Buy.com for like $30 shipped. When I look back on it I would have paid the full 50 for it considering how many times that case saved the phone. It is still in mint condition despite countless drops and my girlfriend spilling a strawberry daiquiri directly on it. I just took the case off and rinsed it off, nothing on the phone. Worth it.

Rearth Rinke Slime Case Review

There are many hard cases on the market and most feel like hard plastic shells. This case actually feels like rubber with the stiffness of plastic. It just feels like quality. It also manages to come about 1/4 of an inch further on the bottom and top to cover more area. The cutouts around the power and volume rockers are recessed which make a world of difference when pushing the already almost flush buttons. It also give extremely good grip. I dropped my first galaxy s3 with a casemate on it and that case didn't have any bottom or top protection and my phone suffered. I posted a picture of the damage and the casemate. If it were in the rearth it would have survived without a scratch. I can't say enough how good this case feels in the hand. Its a really slick phone and it needs a grippy case.

Glad to hear a good review. I ordered one of these for my preordered S3.:fingers-crossed:

I ordered this, the casemate barely there, the Nilkin hard case, and I bought an Affinity smoke glass hardshell from Bestbuy that I was planning to return once I got one of the cases I ordered but boy does it look nice. I might keep it. It looks gorgeous.

Is there any angle that would hit the bottom or top edge if you dropped it? like facing 45 degrees forward?

No there isn't unless it falls on a squared edge. Plus the rubbery coating gives extra protection.

if i ever buy a hardcase for my galaxy it will be this one.
glad to hear it works well.

Wow. After this case came, on the website they are giving away lanyard strap with it.......

could you post some pics of the phone with the case on it?
Thanks

Had the Slim on my SII and my Note. Absolutely loved them.
If I had a III this would be the case for me without a doubt.
It's a shame that they don't have any plans to release one for the One X.

Ordered one last night. Never used a case on my Epic 4G but that's because they were a pain to find. Looks thin enough which was my only concern. Didn't want to add on a lot of extra bulk. Thanks

I could but they wouldn't do any justice to the pics on the rearth website.

I bought one of these for my Note. For the $30 I paid for it, I expected more. Why they don't make the plastic go all the way around the bezel is beyond me. I will pass on this one for the S3.

I think it would be fragile, that the reason no cases manufacturer makes a case like this with the bottom and the top covered.

Just ordered mine, thanks for the recommendation.
It took me a while though as I could not find a slime case!

@falconeight thanks for the suggestion. just ordered from their official site. they're offering free 2-3 day shipping. it can't come soon enough. i'm so stressed that something bad will happen to my new baby!
http://www.rearthusa.com/galaxy_s3_ringke_case
i think it's the size of the phone. large, but thin, that makes me feel like it will not take a fall very gracefully. fingers crossed until the case arrives.
oh also, in case anyone is having problems googling the case... it's Rearth Ringke Slim (the OP is missing a "g" and added the "e" in slime LOL)

This is an advertisement, not a review.

Got my Ringke Slim the other day. Similar to my Galaxy Nexus one, except it doesn't protect the top and bottom and it doesn't come with a screen protector or rubber port protectors. Overall I love it though, very thin. But after receiving my ROCK case, I'll probably use that more often. If you're looking for something that will make it look like you don't have a case on it, this is it.

Looks like an Otterbox knockoff, but at $12.00 shipped it's gonna be hard to pass up for those looking for a case with great shock/drop protection qualities

I ordered 2 of those from Amazon and should be here Tuesday and Friday. It seems there's a delay on the white one. I had Ballistic case before on my Amaze 4G and have dropped it from about where my pocket is and not a scratch on the phone. I hope this case offers the same protection as it cost less than $30 shipped for both.

I like how the hard shell wraps around the sides, unlike the Incipio. I don't like the giant hole for the camera, speaker, and flash. Three separate holes would be better. I guess it's cheaper to make one big hole. For that price, though, I'm interested in reading some reviews!

Thank you for the information about this case. I ordered one through the link you provided.

I received my black/black Acase today and i must say that not only it looks thin still, but also feels better protected compared to thin cases. Its like having otterbox but a lot less bulky. Still waiting for the white/black version and then I'll take pics to post.

Give us pics now! Please ? I'll order one if its nice.

The Black/Black is exactly like the one in the first post. I ordered a second one which is White/Black. I will post pictures of boths for comparison. Meantime, you can check them out here.

Looks almost exactly like the incipio case I just got but a little bit bulkier at the lip/rim.... But for 12 bucks not a bad trade off.

Hi I had a quick question my friend got the Acase for his iphone but one thing I noticed was the backing or hard shell was really slippery which made him return it in the end. Hows the hard part on this is it a smooth plastic or slippery?

Yeah I see what you are talking about

I had this case for my 3D and it worked very well, it cracked around the bottom on the hard shell but this was after many falls and some abuse. I am ordered one now and recommend them, last I remember is that the back side is smooth but not all that slippery.
On a side note if anyone is getting their phone from Best Buy they have a special going on where you get a Zagg screen protector and the Platinum Case with a separate swivel holster for $40. Case alone was $35 bucks, I will try to take some pics later.

I got this the other day and really like it (especially for the price). I was a big fan of the Case-Mate Tough Case for my iPhone 4 previously and this is very comparable. The biggest thing I've noticed about this case is the indent below the home button. This is a HUGE feature to me because it makes hitting the, fairly small, home button easy.
I had stupidly bought a Ballistic Case from the store and the lip on the front was so bulky it almost ran flush with the bottom of the home button and made it really hard to press naturally. I wrote a review on amazon for the black version with pictures.
For the price this thing is awesome. I'm thinking of getting the white/black one now that's its available on amazon.
