Just got a T-mobile Body Glove - 14 PICS!!!

And it is amazing! adds the perfect weight, doesn't seem to attract lint and it makes this phone look damn good! It has a detachable clip which i found can also be used as a kickstand i guess lol. Its 2 pieces consisting of a chrome cover and a textured back. I bought it for $30 from my local t-mobile store which was pretty steep in my opinion but i love it!

Are you referring to the gel skin?

I agree. After looking at the pics, it's even more convincing that it's a similar one that I had for the G1 which I didn't like since it adds too much bulk than I wanted.
But thumbs up to the OP if he likes it, hopefully the corners don't wear out fast on you after putting in and pulling out of your pockets a lot.

this is the same case that bodyglove is selling on their website. I have been planning on buying one I am glad to see some pics. The kickstand is what is gonna do it for me!

Hideous, I hate cases. I never drop my phones, and take really good care of them.

When you do eventually drop your phone (and you will)... Post pics.

Nice, I had a body glove for my G1. Really liked it. Just came from my T-Moblie store but all they had were the gel cases. Guess I'll have to wait.

I have one of these for my G1 and it is really nice for protecting the phone. After over a year the phone is still mint but the case itself started to peel about a month ago and it's getting bad now. It still works great though and the plastic clip is super heavy duty. I have dropped my G! many times in this thing and there is not a scratch on it. It is kind of bulky though but great protection.

You're legally required to have car and health insurance...and a case isn't comparable to car/health insurance. a case won't help when your screen cracks, or when your phone is stolen.

Speck candysell

I got the speck candy shell and it is very nice one piece though
The case is nice I just got it so haven't tested out it looks really sturdy

any flaking issue yet?

seems like a finger print magnet. is there a matte version?

No problem yet nothing is coming off yet never tried spec I'm more usually in trident and otter I ordered both of those see which of the 3 is best
Sent from my GT-P7510 using xda premium

Tried taking the phone out of the case yet? I thought I was gonna break the gs3 when taking mine out. I sent the case back and canceled my order on a black one..

Don't ever order black Candyshells; they show their scratches right away. Always order light colors. Speck makes great cases, but this time I went with the Casemate Pop. The Speck does offer better camera-area protection though because the Casemate pop leaves it uncovered (although still protected).

Why dont attatchments show up for me?? I want to see this case

I had a speck for the HOX and let me tell you, it was VERY hard to take off. I got a Incipio Silicrylic and it's worked better for me.

Yea. I just got the blue colored one at T-Mobile store and man, it's a really nice case. It fits tight but is easy to take off and it doesn't raise a screen protector or make me feel like I'm gonna break my phone in half.
I should've bought this case before I ordered so many others. I'm completely happy with the Incipio.
Side note: I'll still try other cases though.

Trident Kraken A.M.S. or Otterbox Defender

Kraken or Otterbox? Which of the two is better? I really like both cases, and I've heard good and bad things about both. I would appreciate any input, especially of you own/have owned either cases.

Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app

I like the look of otterbox better, but tridant has the kick stand...so depends on what you think you'd use more. I had an otterbox on my phone for a while but realized the bulk was too much since I baby my phone. I'm sure same would be for the trident. If you drop ur phone a lot or do a lot of hiking with it, bulk it up....but otherwise it really takes away from the slim design.

I haven't seen an AMS until now, ordered mine. 34.95 on amazon.

I have the otterbox defender case. The back of my holster clip locks in so it can be a kickstand. Its very bulky but it works.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

I have the trident aegis. With trident cases, the plastic is on top of the silicone when you put it on, with silicone sticking out on the corners. That way, the silicone doesn't easily stretch like it does on the otterbox. Especially if you take off your case on a regular basis. I have the defender for my ipod touch, and I've used it on other devices as well. In my opinion, the screen protector is horrible as well. The worst I've ever used(yes its worse than those cheap ones you can get off ebay in a 3 pack for 3 dollars). Trident cases also have dust covers over the mic and speaker grill, whereas the otterbox does not. So I say go with the Kraken. It would be worth it.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app

Thanks. I decided to but the Otter from BestBuy, and also order the Kraken online to try both out when the Kraken gets here. The first day with the Otter was terrible with the screen protector, but now it's a lot better, since I guess it either stuck to my screen better, or O got used to it. Does anyone know the quality of the built in protector for he Kraken? And also, one last thing, if I were to drop the Kraken, since the outside is; plastic, how durable is that plastic. Because the thing I like the most is he outside rubber for the Otter.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app

Just got my Kraken today, absolutely love it. As for the screen protector, I threw it away, didn't even bother with it. I've had ghost Armor on all of my phones as well as my wife's phone, I get a new one put on once a month and have never had a problem. The plastic around the Kraken is very durable and wouldn't be worried if I drop the phone. I'm coming from an Aegis, a lot better protection and I've owned otterboxes before, Kraken from here on out for me.

i just got this case a few days ago and i like it so far. im coming from an otterbox, which i started to not like that much after the rubber outer layer began to get weak. im sure i could probably contact otterbox about it and they would likely send another one. but i wanted to give the kraken a shot since i really like the aegis and my only contention with it was that there was no kickstand or belt clip. i have to get used to the texture, hard and a lil slippery is much different from the otterbox's soft grippy exterior...but not a downer by any means. also, i found the screen protector to be decent and actually a welcome edition. i was ready to go without it or use a Realook screen saver that i have, but the one that comes with the Kraken is nice and im not having an issue with it at all.
one issue i do have with the Kraken is that they didn't design it with a hole for the indicator light (top right). i actually use mine and when im doing in the field and my phone is on silent. so that would be a good thing to adjust if they can for future designs.

Be different, go trident... I see too many otterboxs.. Mostly on iphones though

The pics on the site look real. They also did a video review of the case with drop test....there was a pic of what looked to be genuine otterbox packaging. Hoping it's the real deal....they see to be a legit site. When I ordered mine today they had no stock of the blue, purple or green....only a crapload of black and 13 (make that 12 after my order lol) of the glacier.

Anyone bought from them before? Or found some useful reviews of the site? Only found a bunch of youtube videos by them.
I've ordered a case from Noreve already, but had an Otterbox on my HD2 and the protection was great... especially when you're drunk and likely to drop your phone :laugh:

Ok I bought myself one. Looks like it will be a cool case especially since you can use the holster as a kick stand.

That was a selling point for me as well. I love my ballistic sg maxx, particularly due to the less bulky holster....so it will probably be my go 2 when leaving the house. When hanging at the house I will make good use of the kickstand feature on the otter holster. My only wish would be that it could be used in portrait mode. I had an otter on my last phone and NEVER knew it had a kickstand until a few days ago. :banghead:
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2

Does this have a belt clip (deal breaker for me)? Also, how is the screen protector? Do you have to use it? Thanks.

Yes, it comes with a belt clip. It's a separate holster that stays on your belt and the phone clips into it. It can also be used as a kickstand if you take it off your belt and 'lock' the clip open.
If it's anything like the HD2 Otterbox the screen protector is good, but mine didn't hold up well to repeatedly removing the phone from the case, it developed blotchy parts where it was sticking right to the screen and other parts weren't. Eventually I removed the screen protector (it's not designed to be removable, so you can't put it back in if you do remove it).

dang. That is a good deal. I bought a Glacier one from Amazon yesterday for $35 I think. Im kind of nervous if the case is legit though...
This is the one I bought, anyone buy from "ITX Wireless" before?
NEVERMIND: I cant post links yet, but seller is ITX Wireless on Amazon, hopefully its real.

Thanks OP for the link! Just bought myself the Glacier to go along with my white SGS3.

Bought! Thanks, nice deal. I just happened to break my case today unfortunately...so this worked out well. Went with Glacier.

Thanks for posting this excellent deal. I've used Smartphonepedia.com recently. I ordered my Galaxy S3 Body Glover tpu case from them. It arrived extremely fast and if the case is knockoff, I honestly couldn't tell. It came in retail packaging and the product shows no signs of being 'cheap' or 'knockoff'.
I definitely did not hesitate on taking advantage of this deal. I ordered the glacier colored case and even though it's on back order, i'm perfectly fine with waiting considering the cost savings and besides my Body Glove case from this company is holding me over just fine. Thanks for this find again!

I guess the shipment from Republic of Mozambique are in.

I would like your opinion about this case.

Lately i have seen a lot of posts about broken gs3 screens, and i'm really afraid that something like that could happen to my beloved gs3.
At this moment i am using a regular silicon case, which i don't believe gives me enough protection.
So i have been researching the best case to protect my phone without adding much bulkiness.
I found this option on amazon and it seems quite interesting....and good looking.

It looks abit bulky but should do the job.
But maybe take a look on ebay for it. Maybe find it a little bit cheaper
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium

Looks too One X or death star to me. It totally ruins the elegant look the GS3 goes for.
If I and to get a bulky case, I would go for Capdase armor jacket. Although I am not sure if the Aluminum kills reception or not.

Nahh...i've droped mine a couple of times with and without a tpu case and not a single scratch mate....
I also saw some drop/durability tests and i've seen the S3 is strong!
Maybe the first units had durability issues...?
Anyway i would spend money if i were you...
But if you want to stay free of guilts not buing a decent case undoubtly get an otterbox!
they're simply the best!You wont regret it....

Seems like good protection, but I like more the looks of the Otterbox Commuter for a "bulky case" (And I've heard is one of the betters in matters of protection). I'm supposed to get an Incipio Silicrylic any time this week, I decided to go for it because I thought a Commuter was overkill for my daily use and the Incipio seems to be stylish. I hope I don't regret that choice
Also, I think this should be in the Accessories section?

Well for what i have seen it the thinnest of the bulky cases. That is why i've got so interested. Also it looks pretty bad ass.
But i will check all your suggestions too.
I am still searching for a case to my new toy..the N7.

Just got mine from US to UK, took less than a week to arrive
After 2 official samsung flip cases fell apart (1 in first 10 days) I saw this and liked the look of it.
It's obviously more bulky than before but not enough to bother me. It's fairly lightweight too. Having side protection as well as the cool looking back won me over.
It Cost me £28 including delivery. Having spent over £16 (£30rrp) before on the samsung cases I can tell you the quality is far superior.
You get a screen protector included too (after a lot of time and swearing trying to fit the bast**do with no dust trapped) looks pretty good.
