So I walk into my local verizon wireless store with my G Nexus and asked if I could buy a case, the store clerk went in the back and brought out three cases, he asked another clerk if they can sell them and the guy just looked at the manager in the corner. Manager said no and walked into the back room. He gave me this bit about how they can get in trouble...etc. walked out of the store agitated. I checked my maps and noticed another verizon store about 5 minutes away, so i went their, this time directly to the manager, asked if I could buy a case, he went to the back no problem and brought out the cases. The whole process took about a minute. they had a thin silicon one, and thick rubber/plastic case which i bought, and an otterbox.
Overall this case is more of a temporary one until I find something I really like.
Pros: Very thick, sturdy and it protects all around
Cons: Ugly, dust magnet, ugly, and really distorts the overall feel of the phone because of the thickness
would I recommend it? Only to folks in a similar situation.
Oh, and it also comes with a small stand of some sort.

I have the same exact one. The rubber piece collects dust and lint but it does the job for now.
I want a barely there case....

This looks pretty similar to something that I believe Otterbox will end up looking like. Personally, I think the flap over the camera is laughable but if you want true protection it comes with a price.
Picked one of these up. LOL! Why? I work in a very dirty environment that would subject my phone to a lot of fine particulates and water. Plus a 2-year old that loves to play with phones.
It is next to impossible for me to get the kickstand out with this case. I need long fingernails to reach the stand with this one.
Anyone else have one of these?
I have this case and i think it's great that you can add the extra protection when it's needed, and then just remove it when you don't.
Can the flap for the camera be permanently removed?

I just got mine in the mail about 2 days ago. i have no flap. i did also buy this from amazon. Maybe mine is older or new i don't no. i would post the link from where i bought it but im still a newb.
all in all i love the case and the belt clip. great product

You could have to rip the rubber off the pivot piece for the camera cover. Then you could make it removable. It's the only option I know of.

that hole next to the camera, yea the bump on the flap is placed there to hold it back.
i had this case since i bought my TB but i got it from Best Buy n it was called Platinum. its a really good case. i would really recommend this
same I got the platinum series TB case from best buy. 34.99
its sleaker then the one posted though and looks better IMO.
The holes in the back for the cam and LED are 2 different accurate cut outs instead of one. looks better but it dies not have the flap/cover
Its the same case. The convert just has two extra layers and isn't rebranded.

I ordered the body glove diamond case, in white. It's very nice, looks good, doesn't add any bulk really, and feels solid. It's on the Tmobile website under accessories for the phone

Yeah its a good case, I like it.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk
I got one tonight & I love it
If it is like the other Body Glove that has the rubber back it should work out great. I tried case after case and settled on the other Body Glove. I liked it better than the D30. But that's just me..
It's a good looking case.
Does this provide screen protection or i have to purchased screen protector from other sources? I wish to get all protection ready before i getting my galaxy.
Thanks for replying.
this does not come with a screen protector, i wish these $30 tmobile cases came with one. i put in a order for realook screen protector i should be getting it by end of this week.
right.. with tmobiles premium prices
I just wish it wasn't white. That is my only deterrent.

You could probably cover it with some sort of overlay if you wanted to get creative. I have some 3M carbon fiber vinyl that I'm thinking about doing mine with.
The realook screen protector works great with this body glove. No bubbles at all. Took me a couple minutes to fit it on perfectly, since realook cuts it to fit perfectly with the glass
just picked up this case for my wife and her GSII. Great looking case, looks and feels nice. Unfortunately I like it better than my D30 case (mostly because the unlock button is easier to press on the bodyglove)
Ive had it since day one and its kickass!
def. worth it
Heard some concerns about the fit of skins such as the 'barely there'. Want to order one soon and was wondering what opinions are now that some time has passed.
I want a skin to protect the back from scratching or chipping from small falls, not enough to protect it from a hammer! Don't want to make the phone too bulky and will be using an Xoskin on the front.
Lots of TPU skins out there already. Quick and dirty way to see what's available is to do a search on Amazon. Diztronic seems to be an early favorite.
Search for diztronic on amazon UK comes up with:
Minisuit
Is that what you meant?
i got the s-curve one from ebay for 3 bucks (same as the minisuit one, sometimes goes under the name of qubits) and it's pretty slim. i also ordered the nilikin one to see if it's any thinner or snugger, because i didn't think the s-curve one was snug enough. i don't like the diztronic one because it has some extra cutouts (ie for the power button) which means a little less protection

Looks decent but I prefer when the top and bottom of the phone are protected as well. I mean if you are gonna bulk it up why not cover the whole thing? Doesn't that thing slip off fairly easily?
I have a custom skin on the back of my phone and am looking for a case that has a completely clear back but perhaps tpu sides or bumper to have some grip. Anyone have ideas? I can't find any

You mean a bumper case like this one?
You can find this galaxy s3 case on TVC Mall.

Even yesterday i did a massive search on ebay for S3 cases. Went over 50 pages with 200 hits each. I can't tell you specifically where but i can tell you there're definitly cases like the ones you want there. Seen plenty of clear ones hard and soft sillicone, maybe there's one you'd like.
Hmm...I was hoping for a clear solid back to protect it as well. Most of them have a frosted back ;___;
i hate to have a thicker device, but the bumper has already protected my device 3 times from getting serously damaged.

Look at Tech21, they have a bumper/clear back that sounds like what you are looking for.
for a quickie five below stores have S3 cases including a tpu case with a rigid mostly transparent back which would "show off" custom backs quite nicely. REALLY good fit and quality for $5 review coming soon.

If your looking for a good quality bumper, I'll sell you my Draco bumper for $40+Shipping or you can offer. I have the Flare Red with the original box and all the original parts. I used it for less than a week. No scratches or dents. In perfect condition.

Didn't know bout that. Switching it to $40+Shipping
I'll pass on the alumnium since I hear aluminum reduces radio strength. Thanks though!
Just bought one of these for £2.99, it arrived in 2 days, and I got to say, it is beautiful. Feels so nice to use on my OPO. The picture really doesn't do it justice. I actually prefer it to the original sandstone touch.

Just ordered one myself, will see how it is. Thanks for the heads up
I have bought from them for all my phones that they do the cases for. It feels almost like silk.

That's it. Yeah feels good.
Does it protect the screen when you place it face down? My TUDIA does but kinda liking the colour options with these

Stumbled upon a review on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q43HYVeiiPo
and on amazon http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MPIC9KO/ref=cm_sw_su_dp
Be careful with the generic back cover cases..
I ordered 2 cases similar to these, a red one and white one. The white one fits poorly so i sent it back. The red one fits nicely but after a week i took my phone out of the case and saw that it left red paint on the back of my sandstone black cover..GRRRR. So be warned about these cheap generic cases. I put tape on the inside of the case to prevent any more paint coming off onto my phone. This is my first 5.5" phone and i fumble it alot but only dropped it twice but these case will not prevent your phone from being chipped, as expected since it's not a full cover. I'm waiting for my new case which is a full shock protection case.
Doesn't look any different then the xtremeguard case that I bought for way cheaper.
$3.99 plus $1.49 carbon fiber back vinyl = $5.48 free shipping
