Hi Guys,
Got my hands on the SGP Linear Pure series case, a 3 piece case made out of plastic. It fits nicely on the phone and will offer pretty good protection, but the glossy plastic attracts fingerprints and scratches. Full review below:
Another great review, I'm liking your series.
Now get a hold of one of these: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1188219 !

Yes, thanks for that, i went to get it after watching your video. I placed some stickers between the back plastic to act as a shim to prevent it from moving.

Right. I hear some people did the same, placing a skin underneath to add some bulk and prevent the rattle! Hope you're liking it!

this is not an samsung official released
edit, I just noticed it's by anymode, it's not actually official samsung release, but release by anymode, samsung authorised accessories. supplier.
Samsung officially authorized it, so basically the same thing

Screen
Hard to tell from your video, does it have any lip to lift the screen off of a table if it is set down on the face? I think I can see one, but you mention that it won't protect the phone at all if it is dropped on the screen, which tells me that it doesn't stick out at all.

No it doesn't have any lip to protect the screen, a nice feeling case but not one for protection.

Yes there is. It's not big lip but just enough to raise the phone that the screen doesn't touch the table when placed face down. And I think this provides protection to most vulnerable parts of the phone: corners.

Yes it does. I think it's stupid. And there's no real use for it either: With a coin in it's place, it's not something i'd call very stable, so i rather keep the phone in my hand or have it leaning against something. And the looks could be more like in the s2s version. Other than that, i think it's a great case and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a minimal case that doesn't add to much bulk.
P.S. Just got the official slim case today (yes, the twin pack), so we'll see which one do i prefer...

I should have a replica mesh case soon which doesn't have the coin slot. Think if the quality is good it should be a wicked case.
The slim cases are nice I think you'll like them

Just purchased this from china along with a few other cases, this is probably the first tpu case with a flip lid similar to those leather one's, this case has a slightly grainly rubbery finished.
Not bad, looks tough/protective. Although I dislike rubbery covers, since I use my phone in my pocket. It makes them harder to get out and pick up link.

It has a soft grainy finish, so sliding it in and out of my jeans pocket without any problem.
Love the button cut outs...but case looks a bit too thick for my personal for my liking. Thanks for sharing though.

It is glass , not gorilla glass. So an impact will def break the shield..but thats the whole point of it, to protect your phone's screen

Whats the purpose of a tempered glass SCREEN SHIELD? ...im not sure...
Does it replace the glass in the phone already, if not is there any possible way to do that. Like put a better piece of glass in the phone.

Jesus Christ, it it a screen protector made out of glass. It does not replace anything, you apply it like a regular screen protector BUT IT IS MADE OF GLASS. SMH.
Can anyone comment on how the glass fits with a case? Specifically with the Incipio Silicrylic cases and generic tpu cases that have a lay on table design?

It fits good because it doesnt go all the way to the border of the screen itself
from seidio site :
This product is compatible with our ACTIVE®, ACTIVE® with Metal Kickstand, and ACTIVE® Extended with Metal Kickstand
I tried it with a tpu case and it did work (diztronic)
Update :
Im fully used to it .The screen is holding very good.. feels pretty solid. sensitivity still there and stays very easy to clean.
Light reflection is just like if it was naked.
So far so good
I'm curious if this would work with the otterbox defender after the crap plastic one is removed on the case. I'm looking for an alternative right now and if this would fit with the defender I would be happy indeed
I don't see why it wouldn't

My main concern would be if the plastic shell would close on top of it because of the thickness of the glass

I have a few questions about this protector I was hoping someone could answer:
1. I recall reading about another glass protector and people complaining there was a grid of dots on it. Is this one completely clear or is there any pattern on it?
2. Does it have an oleophobic coating as good as the naked glass? I've currently got a DBA protector on mine and finger grease is both more noticeable and much harder to wipe off than the naked screen.
3. Would this type of case hide or reduce the visibility of scratches already on the screen? The DBA case does that quite well. It just has too many other issues.
4. Does it come in blue?
Thanks!

I have x-gears spectre tempered glass with UAG and it fits. But the right side when using the power button can make the protector lift a bit. No big deal you have to press it dwn again.

Is there anything similar for the S3?

Thanks but That's not what I asked. I want to know about a Spigen Slim Armor VIEW for our S3, with the front flip cover protection.
http://www.spigen.com/galaxy-s4-case-slim-armor-view.html
spigen slim armor does not exist for galaxy s3
the case you want is not available for S3.
I'd suggest looking at this one: elago G5 Slim Fit Case for Galaxy S3
9 bucks on Amazon, prime shipping, lots of color choices.
It doesn't provide a lot of protection, but I'd say it's good enough for most drops.
I'm not sure why people want to protect the front screen. I keep my phone in my pocket with keys and other things and have never managed to scratch the gorilla glass.
I have the Samsung original protective cover plus on my S3 and it's great. Good protection and excellent design, similar to the phone's design. I thought it was enough. But taking it from my pocket it slipped from my hand. I managed to have good reflexes and made it hit on my foot but after that in landed on the ground. The ground was not plane so the glass broke. Very small and stupid fall and it broke instantly. Everything works but it looks terrible. It's 140 euros to change it on a store or I can try changing it myself for 30 euros, risking damaging the phone forever. That is why I want a case like that but one that is not a horrible pouch, which I don't like. (seems like a condom). I, like yourself, also thought that a non slim and full body case was over the top, like the otterbox defender, until it happened to me.

I have one in red! It looks really nice and I love the look of the metal. The only issue I have is the silicone part isn't the most snug fit and sometimes an edge of the phone might come out of the case when I took it out of my pocket. I don't think the whole phone would come out or anything..I'm just picky.

Thank you for the pictures. Would you recommend it?
Sent from my One using xda app-developers app
If you're looking for protection, I probably wouldn't recommend it. There really isn't much of a lip over the screen and the top corners seem to slip off a little too easily. It's not like the whole case would accidentally fall off though since the metal part helps to keep it somewhat rigid.
If you're looking for style, then go for it. It's definitely a unique case.
Heads up, if you actually buy it from Mindplar.com it's $45 with shipping and comes with an assumingly cheap battery bank. A little bit cheaper.

This case does indeed look night, I never spend this much on a case but I might have to, maybe I will wait for a few other reviews.
These are pretty sharp looking. I have only been using a sleeve, but might have to consider this. I think Eddie Van Halen would approve of the red one.

Nice case !
I seen 1 million cover for htc one but i never seen this one before ! thanks , probably i'll purchase this , seems really good
Just got mine in the mail. Came with a free 1000 mAh power bank.
Didn't realize that the IR port was covered, no big deal though. I can use a nail to put a hole in there.
Kind of disappointed that the "metal" part is glued on, and it doesn't wrap around the lip like other hybrid cases.
The case itself is very slim. If you have a glass screen protector it wouldn't wrap around it. Looks really great in hand though.

So looking at the pictures previously posted, is the rubber very...rubbery? lol like the ports seem very loosely cut (charging port) and the edges seem like very rounded. I am used to the UAG case and think the cuts and lines are so sharp that this case (while looking pretty rad) has some variances in quality
am i right?
