Awesome! Thanks for letting us know. I also had this on my S2 and got it for my brother's One S last month. Was waiting for these.

I'm Also a big fan of cruzerlite but really wanted a matte finish for the phone. Hard to find a good match for the pebble blue. I ordered the Matte Clear and Matte Black. Will take pics when I get them.

you guys convinced me to try these... just ordered a matte clear one off Amazon. On my G2X i just tried a hard plastic one and hated it so it's been naked for the last 11 months.
Also have a silicone/rubber shipping in to compare the two. Thanks for the tip

I ordered 3 off amazon last night and they already shipped.

I had a d30 on my gs2 which I really loved. I wish they had that for the gs3. I guess I'll get the diztronic as a stop gap measure.

I also used Diztronic on my SGS2. I was very happy with the case and with their customer service. I'm about to order one for my SGS3

Is this a soft case or a hard case?

They are TPU type cases which I believe would be considered a soft case.

Hi, can you post pics? both front, back and side?
how does it feel it hand, is it slippery?

Howdy all, finally got my Diztronic case in today. Here is a link to the album of photos I took of it. Fits really nice, the holes are cut out great and feels really nice in the hand. Please excuse my botched screen protector attempt as well.

I received mine today I had a diztronic you on my vibrant,sensation,sgs2 and gnex.I love them the only thing I don't like about this one is it doesn't seem very snug on the sides and the lip on the bottom kinda gets in the way of pressing the home button.Honestly the home button is the only gripe I have with the sgs3 design.I don't know why they chose to make it a physical button you have to press down as opposed to a touch capacitive on like the back and menu I feel like everytime press down I'm closer to breaking the home button.

I feels ya. I've never liked the idea of a physical home button on any of these phones.. it just looks ugly and out of place.. The GS3's isn't that bad, but still, why not have just made it a capacitive home button to match the menu & back button? Oh well.

I ordered a full body clear shield by photoskinz.
How does the shield affect the fitting Diztronic case ?

I ordered a Zagg full body InvisibleSHIELD and ended up taking off the back plate protector, one because I jacked the installation up and two, the fit was kinda tight, but again that was probably because of my crappy install. The front is fine so far.

Question about tpu cases.

I am looking for a new case and am trying to find a tpu case that also covers the volume rocker and power button. Its a pet peeve of mine i hate those being exposed on cases but haven't found any on ebay or amazon. I have an otterbox case now but wanna go thinner. Thanks in advance.

Try the Cruzerlite cases. They cover the volume rocker and power button.

try the new casemate pop with the right cut outs adds a little bulk but less then the otterbox but gives great protection

I've seen many cheap and nasty one that covers all the buttons.
Try ebay.

This confused me as well and after searching and realizing they don't exist I still went with cruiser lite. Should be in soon seems solid I hope the exposure doesn't bug me too much.

I have a cruzer lite case that I got with the bag o' cases and one of them covers everything. But I think is only for the gsm GNex it barely won't fit my vzw GNex.

I bought an sgp ultra capsule and it covers everything I'm in the same boat as you I wanted tpu but hate uncovered buttons. Its a good case uber thin and the buttons feel great.

Revision 2 of the Diztronic TPU cases didn't have a volume cut out. They've been selling Rev 3 for a while now but if you emailed them asking to buy a Rev 2 case they would probably sell you one (or maybe even send you one for free). They had great customer service when I had to contact them.

I just bought the SGP Ultra Capsule case. It's TPU and it covers volume and power buttons but it also covers the 3 pin dock connector if that's a problem with you. It's very good quality and shows the contour and shape of the actual phone.

I recommend Nillkin TPU cases. It covers all the buttons and they're really high quality. $10-$12 on eBay.

I never understood why they preffer to leave the 3 pin dock connector uncovered. I don't even know what that's for... I never saw a dock for it, lol.

@OP
I have a TPU case that covers the volume rocker and the power button. It has cut outs for the 3 pin dock connector, the microUSB port, the primary AND secondary microphone, and 3.5mm jack. It's mostly known as S-LINE, but lately I found it as being made by CUBZ (or at least so it was advertised). It has kind of an S line on the back. The side edges are also rubbery which makes it feel good in the hand, and less prone to accidental drops.
I had this kind of case on my previous HTC EVO 3D, and it was awesome. It fitted better than the MOMAX (because the MOMAX one didn't have a cut out for the camera button, hence making that pretty much useless, + weakened the right side).
I also had this model on my Galaxy S2, and given the construction and shape of that phone, it was freaking awesome! Barely could take it off!!!!!
I had a black one on my Galaxy Nexus, but it was... I dunno if Google translated this right... sprawling? Mostly due to the way it was stored - the sides were somewhat off...
I have a white one now, which is pretty much rigid. In one month, it got off-white, haha. Yellows, grays, blues... it's still white, but not really white, if you know what I mean.
Anyway, I'm gonna buy a new one, BLACK, and try to find one that hasn't been stored under a rock or something .
These S-Line cases seem to be the best, if you ask me. And for that price... I mean... you can't ask for more, really. I even saw them on eBay (for other phones, not necessarily this model), for some pretty darn good prices.
-----
Otherwise, if you have money to spend, buy a Otterbox Commuter. That's the best case ever, if you ask me. It's not THAT hefty, but it's very well built, and rigid, too.

Fosmon PC + TPU bumper case

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0089E4050/ref=mp_s_a_1?qid=1341692955&sr=8-1
$5.95 shipped with prime (shipping costs may vary) + tax where applicable.
I had been looking for a bumper case for my new S3, and luckily stumbled upon the above case. I had a similar case for my Incredible from Griffin and loved the added protection.
This one from Fosmon is no different. The back is polycarbonate but transparent with a bit of a frosted appearance. The branding on the back is still easy to see. The edge around the sides is tpu with molding for the buttons plus a texture right where my right hand would hold it.
The cut outs for the headphones and usb are large enough where it shouldn't block anything being plugged in. There are holes for the mic and/or other sensors.
I do find the power button is more difficult to activate, but it's not because of the tpu being too tough - its not - its more about the feeling of where it should be as I am coming from a Galaxy Nexus.
Shipping from SF Planet was fast. With a holiday in between, I ordered on the 3rd and received it on the 7th.
I'm glad I found this on the first try. It's exactly what I wanted in a case for a great price.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2

I have the same case and have no complaints about it! All buttons are very easy to press

I just received this today. Great for the money, but I wish the back was completely clear rather than frosted.
The fit and feel is really good and the bumper feels like it will do the job. Nice ridge to protect the screen if the phone is face down, but not much extra bulk.

I'm sure they frosted it to minimize seeing all scratches a glossy clear back would end up getting and showing.

Great case.
I didn't want a case. But I got one anyway and I'm glad I got this one. It's not super bulky, and yet it feels like it should provide pretty good drop protection on all sides. Here's a few pics.
Sorry I couldn't help but toss in a picture of my awesome blue/carbon battery cover. Love that thing!

Could you post a picture straight on of the back? The angled one makes it look like it's not very see-through. I'm curious if the branding and texture of the original battery cover shows through.

It's certainly frosted and not crystal clear. Sorry my stock rear cover is at home but that one is clear enough to read the TMobile and GS3 branding on the back.

Wow the camera cutout on yours is pretty big! Mine is just right around the edge of the camera

Just bought one of these after checking some reviews on youtube. $5.95 shipped? DEAL.

It doesn't look like it, but are the volume and power buttons exposed or covered? If covered, how easy are they to push?

Covered and they respond very nicely

Received this case today, and WOW!!! It's exactly what this phone screams for.
Blocks the screen with a minor lip for glass down resting. Side grip on both sides, and the covered buttons work great.
The clear back protects the camera and battery door, while allowing for customization of the battery door.
Doesn't add much size, and the weight is barely noticeable.
If your on the fence about a case, the low price makes this a gotta try!

I got mine yesterday and noticed the same thing. I just put a little piece of paper in the groove on the inside of the power button cover. I don't get a nice clicky feel/response, but I don't have to press in very hard to get it to work.

Black Bumper for S3 (HQ pics) Recommend!!

Let me start this review just by saying that i love bumper cases. I
have been looking over the internet to find the best bumper case for
our Galaxy s3. I came across this case. Its a STRONG silicone bumper
that completes me in every aspect.
First of all. Its cheap. I think that everyone can try a cheap case
and if they dont like it, they throw it to their dog. (hehehe) Guys,
seriously. this is the best bumper case i have seen over the internet.
Why? It has a nice touch when you are holding your
phone. VERY nice touch. You will want to just hold your phone because
it has a nice feel Second of all: PROTECTION. And i mean it. Front,
back and sides are fully protected.
Front side (screen): the case has a slight bump on the edges so if the
phone drops the floor, its still protected (floor not the road hehe).
Back: Again, the case has a bump on the edges. So if your phone drops
on the back, protected!!! if you want to lay down your phone on a
table: PROTECTED.
Sides: Full protection, which is obvious why: its the case hehe.
Buttons: FULLy accessible button, both power and volume buttons. They
are covered by a soft silicone so there are very easy to press
(compare to the other tpu case i have reviewed)
I dont know if there are more colours available. You must check on
sellers ebay site.
Rating: If this case would be rated its a rock solid 5/5. Believe me
on this. It defenently worths every peny guys. I even compare it with
a TPU bumper case, that i have reviewed last week, amd this is by far
better.
Enjoy the pictures. I tried to take as many as possible.
I will review more bumper cases in the near future so stay tuned.
You can buy this on this link:

Nice review! Around the volume rocker it might need a little work but I've already ordered one of these.. 4$ shipped to Canada and it looks decent.

Do you guys mean the material of the case degraded? This is all one-piece right? I was JUST shopping for my first bumper case and saw some aluminum ones that snap or screw together, but it seemed like the TPU ones are just a single piece of material and wrap around the edges.

Its a single piece mate. Plus you dont lose any signal plus its a snap in snap out plus its veryyy cheap

How does this fit with a zag shield?
Galaxy S3 Paranoid ROM.

I think that with the zagg shield you will be ok. The case has already a tight fit so its better not to use extra protection underneeth. I dont think you need zagf shield for the back cover because its already protected from the case.

If it is anything like the one for the Galaxy Nexus (and it appears to be the same), there is a hard plastic material used on the rear portions of the bumper, while the piece which surrounds the screen is flexible rubber. With the GN, the two materials separated.

My clear diztronic tpu case is starting to turn yellow and blue from my jeans so I really need something else. For three bucks I hope it holds up for a little while.

Do you think the the bezel or screen would get damaged if I dropped it from pocket height and it hit the corner on cement? Just wondering if I should still be extra careful when using this bumper.

Absolute BEST Case in your opinions

Im pretty interested in the Urban Armor Gear case but some people have problems with the power button.. can someone confirm this is a problem? I heard a fix is to take off the case and press down the cases power button really hard. But other than that case anybody find another great one? Thanks!!

I really like the Otterbox Defender cases... They have protected my phone through mosh pits, Occupy Wall Street, bike polo, street longboarding, and just general junk I've put it though. They also have a lifetime replacement deal although I've never used it. I've used them with my Droid X, Droid X2, and my SGIII. Highly recommended.

I love my UAG it works great to protect my SGS3 and also works good with my ZAGG HD installed.

- I still plan on getting one of the UAG cases.
- If the problem with the buttons is STIFFNESS...I like that. I hardly ever use the power button and that's less chance of the S3 waking up in my pocket.
- the button(s) will loosen up over time or you can mod it.
- lowest profile sized case for the perceived high degree of protection

not necessary with the modification that can be done to it. Its not real stiff, you just have to get use to it, after usage it should break in and respond alot better.

You don't actually cut out the lock button on the UAG case. You cut down the long sides of it. It doesn't affect how the button looks, it only makes it easier to press.

After trying on a couple of cases I have to agree UAG is the best case for the S3. It's a combination of looks and protection without having to make the phone look like an ugly thick brick like the other "protective" cases.
