If you go with Otterbox, stay away from the Defender. It is nowhere near the quality you would expect for that price, and doesn't come close to the quality of the Defender for iPhone. Lots of people have had bad experiences with Seidio as well, their cases tend to fall apart after only a short while and their warranty process is ridiculous. The TPU cases are cheap pieces of junk too. Trust me, they don't look nearly as nice in person as they do in pictures. If you want something rugged I would recommend the Trident Cyclops or the Ballistic HC. For something middle of the road go with the Otterbox Commuter, and for the thinest case possible go with the Casemate Barely There.

Thanks for the info

Or you can get a TPU case off of ebay. Its less than 5 bucks and I like it alot. Its nothing fancy at all, but its a hybrid of the hard plastic snap cases and the silicone cases. It provides some front screen and rear camera protection too. sot he rear camera doesnt hit the table etc when set down. It also wraps around the corners nicely and "Snaps" if you will, around the edges.

I picked up one of these for under $5 and it fits like a glove! It's a thin silicone case and then a hard outer shell, but doesn't add much bulk to my evo. They have other colors as well and it's a US seller to boot so no waiting for a month for your new case to arrive from HK. Remove the @ and replace with a .

I just got the seidio innocase active on ebay for like 25 bucks. I've never like how bulky the otterbox cases are and this case has a really nice feel to it almost like its part of the phone.

TPU for the win. I got a smoked clear one like a month ago and love it. My 2 yr old nephew threw my phone against the wall on NYE. I was kinda freaked for a second and I picked it up and everything was ship shape. Also dropped it once on the carpet in my office and zero problems whatsoever. Totally happy and impressed for $5 dollars.

Tpu!!! Thin and fashionable with a great hint of protection. Luxmo makes great ones with screen protectors! Trust me, I own 8 different cases.

I'm a big fan of the Ballistic case.Outstanding protection. I like the bulky feel of it.
This has been a telepathic transmission from the Outer Limits.

I'd recommend do some research find which case you like best then Craigslist Brotha. I agree I wouldn't pay 50 bucks for my otterbox deffender series. But I got it for 25 bucks new in box off some guy on Craigslist ill take that deal all day so give it a try is all I'm saying.

Best buy has these Platinum cases which fit nicely over the evo and even on top of a screen protector. Dust accumulates but it's not too bad. Just clean it once a week.

If you end up using a Seido Innocase (not the rugged or active) like I do then you'll have to shop well for an enclosed holster if you need one of those too because the fit becomes different. Amazon is full of reviews of all the Otterboxes, Seido, etc-good and bad. They often come with a belt clip holster that doesn't enclose the phone entirely (for me, the camera lens is exposed)...I like them and use them, but I also require an enclosed holster for added protection in some environments. The Innocase is a two piece case which I like...but it doesn't get torqued around in my pocket like it does for some folks (some folks claim the case becomes loose and starts to squeak--and also claim debris gets in and rubs the finish of the edges of their Evo). Mine has held up well, but I treat it with kid gloves and the phone never goes in my pocket.

i just got the Rearth Ringke case and i like it. granted, i haven't tried any other case, but it's much nicer than the crappy case my wife has on her evo from best buy. it's a nice tight fit and the buttons are very easy to push. it's thin and light and adds little to no extra bulk. my wife was jealous and wants one now too!

My Case Collection

So I'm that type of person who has a case for every day of the week. Lol
I have here in order from left to right on the picture
Case logic pouch (For Android/Windows Phones is what it said on the packaging)
Otterbox Defender
Otterbox Commuter
Generic Black TPU Case from ebay
Generic blue hard snap on case.
The leather pouch is awesome! It fits the phone naked or with any of my cases with the exception of the otterbox defender. I had a Seidio spring loaded holster for use with the Captivate+Innocase and it had a very snug fit for the Atrix+any of the other cases aside from the Defender.
The defender is actually really nice on this phone! I had it on the Captivate and it was wayyy to bulky and it made it extremely frustrating whenever you tried to touch the capacitive buttons on the bottom. With the Atrix, it doesn't add too much bulk and I can feel safe whenever I have it on my phone. I usually use this one when I know I'm going somewhere where they'll be potential damage to my phone like the beach.
The commuter is my personal favorite case! It looks real nice with the fancy design on the back. It doesn't add too much bulk, but does add a good ammount of protection. I find it strange that all the Captivate otterbox cases make the phone twice as big, but that's not the same case for the Atrix. It's even stranger that a naked Atrix is bulkier than a naked Captivate.
The generic black TPU is also pretty nice. It doesn't add much bulk at all, but TPU usually offers good protection. Mine specifically has that stupid common Argyle pattern, but it's in the inside so it's not shown on the back of my phone! The only problem I have with this case is the fact that it attracts fingerprints like no tomorrow.
The generic blue snap on case was an impulse buy when I got my phone. I just wanted to make sure it was protected out of the box. I don't really like this case too much as I'm not a big fan of hard cases to begin with.
I'm still waiting on the Candyshell, and other cases to come out. I'll update asap!
If anyone has any detailed questions about any of the cases, let me know!!!

I dont feel like a loner anymore lol! I've always been obsessed with cases. I have the OBD, OBC, Feather, Bodyglove and the Candyshell. Caint wait for Sedio to release a Active X or Rugged. I'm also hoping for some case-mates soon? Request? http://support.case-mate.com/index.php?pg=request

I'm waiting on the seidio active x with holster! I loved the seidio holster I had for my captivate! It works pretty well still with certain atrix cases, but I ended up giving it away. Lol
Not the biggest case mate fan but ill submit a request and well see ;Db

You are not alone I couldn't decide btwn the defender or commuter so I got both to test out in person. I ended up liking.g the commuter mainly BC I had trouble plugging in some headphone jack devices because the defender is slightly bulkier

I just ordered the black tpu with the argyle pattern on the inside off Amazon. I have a question for you, the buttons for volume look molded in, how hard is it to push the buttons with the case on?

How much bulk does the commuter add? I'm thinking of picking it up but I don't want it to be fat
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App

I didn't find it harder to press at all with the tpu case. Then again that might just be me not paying full attention to it. I'm not very picky... lol
The commuter does add a bit of bulk, but I don't think its bad at all especially for the ammount of protection it adds. I do also really dig the design on the back! I heard that it won't fit with any docks though to give you an idea. I was able to dock my phone with the TPU case though.

That was my biggest concern because I didnt really want a case but didn't want a broken phone. So I got the commuter and love that it doesn't make it that much bigger but makes it feel a ton safer.

I just got the TPU case... dropped it from my lap getting out of the car in a parking garage.. unscathed. great case.. doesnt look as fancy as others but it does the job and its a pretty good price.

yeah, i bought a few of those snap on hard cases just for the sake of protection, however, they are a ***** to get off! And i use my vehicle dock often, so thats a no go. I bought a clear skin (like a zaag), and havent looked back since. It actually makes the back of the phone shinny and the CF weave pattern really POP...looks more like real CF

After checked a cpl of cases for my new Atrix, I found one in HK and its dirt cheap too ($6!!). Dual material PC + TPU with transparent back, flame, scratch resistant, very light and thin, washable too. The fact I disliked about otterbox and similar heavy armed cases (aside of being very bulky) is a lack of heat dissipation.
My suggestion goes for Momax iCasePro:

Helpful post, I got the commuter, it's pretty good

never really saw the need for a case it makes a good phone look ugly and doesnt really protect i prefer invisible shields

Until it slips out of your hands and hits the ground and ends up looking worse than with a case..... I like the look of the commuter otter box case

Question for anyone that does not mind answering. I currently have the otterbox defender which I have to say I enjoy having it while I am out running around etc. Like that feeling of safety with the "hefty" case since I have large hands does not bother me to much. BUT, I was thinking of getting another case to use just around the house and thinking about the feather case or something small and minimal. I tend to set my phone face down most of the time. Any suggestions? also to expound upon that if anyone else has tried or done this before if I did that i would look into getting a adhesive screen protector. If I did that would it work with the otterbox defender and its built in screen protector would I maybe have to cut that out? Which I am not totally opposed to just seems almost like a waste. I know gorilla glass is tough stuff I am just the meticulous kind of person that if i saw the scratch on my screen I would not be able to let it go and it would drive me crazy.

Ryan,
I would suggest either the otterbox commuter (still kinda bulky, but not as bad as the defender), or the body glove mirage (nice and thin).
As far as the screen protector, I've used the matte/anti glare from att with the defender. I do kinda notice its not as responsive when I'm typing and etc, but thar might just be a mental thing.

ewwww. all 3 of them. tpu or ringke rearth case ftw.

Why do you say that? Do you have the Rearth? How is it? I liked these cases because they look like a colorful otterbox.

thinking about getting a ringke rearth. they look nice. i just think they're ugly because they're so fat and bulky. but you may need the protection so function over form in that case. i don't need that much protection so function and form are equal for me. i had an otterbox once for a nokia e71 and i needed it then, but it was awful big and a pain in the ass sometimes. such a pain that i started carrying in my pocket instead of holster and i lost it somehow. yes, from my pocket. i was pissed.

The 2nd and 3rd resemble the ballistic shell gel cases, but uglier. I have a rearth ringke slim and i like it. I also have a couple diztronic tpu cases and like them as well.

I ended up ordering a Seidio active case for mine $29 after taxes, I looked at other cases that would fit with the extended back but I've always gone with Seidio on my other devices and just couldn't stray away.

I have the first link case identical. I got it yesterday. The black is a rubber piece that goes around the red plastic does a very poor job. It would not survive a fall high than 3 feet. I will be returning mine. I am now looking for a white case and a good holster. Any suggestions are great.

Hmmm, i don't know which to pick. The reason I wanted to buy one off of ebay is because I have $25 ebay bucks. I originally liked the metallic but I heard it was slippery so I'm starting to think I should go with the matte black. Can anyone find one on ebay?

That first one looks sketchy, idk looks cheap. id kinda not get any of those. Just get an Otterbox, thats basically what these are posing. I realize these are cheaper but also these look it. If not then maybe their are other brands that could get you some reliability. I personally dont know because i rocked my D1 naked for two years and im rocking a cruzer on my Nexus. I also have an otterbox as a backup (thats the tough case).

I currently have the otter box but I would like to add some color which is why I am looking at these cases.

I dont usually buy on ebay so i cant help much there. But i can tell you all the cases ive tried.
Otterbox Defender - did not fit well so i did not purchase at the store. Screen protector is lousy. Phone rattled in case.
Casemate Toughcase - again did not fit my gsm nexus well. Gaps in silicone and i do not like the larger than necessary gap between the usb and headphone plugs. Also was a dust magnet. Should have learned my lesson with the first toughcase i tried for my galaxy s.
Diztronic TPU - have two of these. Rev 1 both in matte black and matte smoke. Great cases except the volume rocker section but Rev 3 should address that. I recommend.
Rearth Ringke Slim - currently using this case. Color i have is matte black and it is a great case.

Case Mate POP! It is not too bulky, offers good protection, good grip without attracting lint. Fits the extended battery perfectly.

I have the casemate pop and Love it, but I need to use my ebay bucks so I figured why not get another case.

Had 3 cases for my Nexus as my review for them are as follows:
Case-Mate Barely There - Price was too high considering the kind of case you were getting. As it's known for, it provides very little protection but was also very slim. I would have less issue with it if it covered the top and bottom of the phones fully but it oddly didn't. With it on, it looked more like a shell instead of a case. I would not recommend this as it seems like you are paying for brand name here. Might as well get a full body protector from Zagg or Ghost Armor instead of this IMO.
Otterbox Commuter - This was a good case. If you are looking for something that will protect your phone without being extreme (like using the Defender) then this is perfect. Adds bulk for protection but also looks great as well. Best of both worlds and recommended for those that want above average protection while not needing it to look like a beast. Fairly difficult to take off so don't get it if you get into opening up your phone a lot.
Diztronic TPU Matte Smoke Grey - This was the best of the bunch for me. Price wise, it can't be beat at $10.00 with a workable screen protector. Looks wise, smoke grey is beautiful on the Nexus as it looks natural (Nexus is grey to begin with). It adds only a little bulk so it doesn't look like a case swallowed your phone. Feel wise, matte is definitely the way to go. I've had glossy cases before and it always left grime, oil, and fingerprints. Matte feels and looks very clean and provides a little grip. Protection wise, I'd say it provides average protection. I've always used TPU cases and they can take drops from normal heights. TPU is fine for my rather un-extreme lifestyle. Finally, Diztronic's customer service is top notch. Had an issue with the volume keys and they are sending me out a replacement case with the keys cut out. No need to return the old one. Would definitely buy from them again because of that as I have high confidence that they can rectify any issues.
So there you have my mini-reviews. It is obvious that I favor Diztronic as they seem to hit the sweet spot for my preferences. Best of all words in all the things that are important to me.
Hope you guys find a case that works well for you too.

I don't know if they have one for nexus but case-mate barely there series of cases are cool because they are the thinnest but are still shatter proof. I have never liked adding bulk to my phone with a case so it works for me.

They may be shatter proof, but they only protect the better cover and rear sides of the phone. It's a half-solution at best. Waiting on Rearth and will report back.

Ghost Armor...
No added bulk, adds just enough extra grip, protects from scuffing/scratching. Obviously, not gonna give the same shock protection in a fall.. but then I've seen guys with TPU cases drop the phone and shatter a screen. (with gorilla glass)

Just got my Seidio Active today. As with all Seidio cases, it is awesome. I had the Incipio double case from Verizon, which is a similar concept. But the Active is a lot smoother and looks way better. Great amount of protection, minimal bulk. I actually prefer the way it feels with the case on compared to bare. It gives a nice feeling to the volume/power buttons.
As a bonus, I got the Royal Blue one, and the color perfectly matches the blue theme of ICS. I highly recommend it. There is also a version with a kickstand, too. Here is a link to what I got.
http://www.seidioonline.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=CSK3SSGNL-RB
I'm a bit of a Seidio fanboy, as all of my devices have Active cases on them. But you can't really beat the protection and style. No huge logos, and the color of the hard shell really gives it a nice look. Dropping the phone with the case on barely does anything to the case, let alone the phone.

I have the kickstand-ed version and I must agree that it is a really well designed enclosure system. Works really well with the extended battery/cover. My previous Seidio case was the Active Extended for the Thunderbolt and that setup was the main reason why I decided on Seidio.

This is my favorite case and its probably the best value.

It features 3 layers including the screen protector and doesn't make the phone huge, yet keeps the phone well protected. $29.99 and I couldn't be happier.

Disappointed with my SGP Spigen Neo Hybrid Case

So after seeing pictures of it for a while and finally seeing peoples reviews for the case i finally bought the infinity white case. I already had a couple of ebay cases while i was waiting to get something a little more "premium" so i pulled the trigger on the Neo Hybrid. I received it today and have to say it is not what i expected.I already knew about the buttons being too sensitive and the case being more purple than blue so no surprises there, but being advertised as a tpu case i thought this would fit the phone much more tightly the way every tpu case ive ever bought off of ebay for $2 has felt. the tpu portion of the case was either made too large or from a different kind of material because it feels loose on the phone to me. the bumper that goes around the case is meant to keep the tpu tight to the phone, and perhaps add another layer of protection but it tpu along the front of the screen feels very loose and is even a bit sharp to the touch because of its square shape. this is the case i had been using for the past month and i loved the feel, but not so much the look of it. I actually couldnt decide which color i wanted and bought the orange one as well a couple of days ago and it looks like ill be sending them both back in favor of my $4 ebay case.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-PC-TP...670415?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item1e6f7fe08f

Just a quick question, did you get the Neo Hybrid Lumi or the Color?

it was the color series with the purple/blue case and white bumper frame, now i have an orange lumi on order and i can only assume it is going to have the same feel to it. way more bummed about how loose the case feels and the way the rim around the screen is really jagged feeling and not rounded at all.

I've got an orange Lumi coming in today, I'll post anything if it disappoints. They looks so damn good in the pictures, especially with the white GS3. I just had to pull the trigger

the case looks nice but be ready not to use it or modify it so the buttons work. I already emailed them and sent pics in. The little bumpers are way to high so it causes the sensitivity to go through the roof

I don't have one yet but I am very disappointed in the colour selection. How can you not have a black/black like all the others before it? The old ones never sagged on me so I personally want a black/black with the good old silicon and polycarbonate frame.
Don't see it happening though.

SGP products suck in terms of "fit", I had an ultra thin air for my SII, the worst case ever, since then I decided not to purchase sgp again.
Case Mate for the win!!! Very recommended!!! Great quality and fit!!!

I emailed them about the button issue too. They seem to know about it and said I'm getting an updated version of the Color in mid-August.

I ordered their leather pouch because I seriously loved their screen protectors. The pouch was so tight I had to use a razor blade to cut the seams to remove my phone. The pull tab broke off as I was trying to remove my phone with it.

i think theres something to be said for mass producing cases. all the generic ebay tpu cases seem to fit perfect, havent had an issue yet. they all fit nice and snug, cutouts are perfect, the buttons arent as tactile and clicky as more expensive cases but theyre still easy to press

I agree with the OP, I got the neo hybrid lumi in green and I think that this case just feels cheaply made, this is definitely not worth paying $26. My cheap tpu case I got off eBay for 3 bucks is 100 times better than this. The camera cut off holes for this aren't even properly aligned and the case does not fit the phone very well. And also with the issue with the buttons. I highly suggest that no one should buy this case. It's a terrible case and cheaply made and over priced. I'm disappointed with the way this case turned out. I put a bad review on SGPs website to warn other buyers but they would not even post my review. Screw you SGP lol

Was waiting for a review like this... really unsure if to order it.
How bulky is it in comparison to the Incipio Sillicrylic? I can't decide between the two.

I highly suggest you go with the incipio case. The Sgp case is not worth it.

Hey Angie have you had any other cases for your gs3? If you notice while the case is on the phone the bit that runs around the edge of the screen can be moved very easily. The band is what makes the case stick to the phone and difficult to take off. My dislike is with the actual tpu case. Which is much more flimsy and soft than most tpu cases

no the band is the only thing that fits the phone well, im referring to the bit on tpu that sticks out past the band around the edge of the front glass, if you nudge it at all its very lose and also is very angular and uncomfortable to touch

that is so weird because i have no issues with the cameras and holes not aligning with the cutouts, as you can see from the pictures. And the fit is very snug. This is my first SGP case purchase so did I just get lucky? I haven't use the Incipio so I cant compare the two but in terms of bulkiness, I don't find this to be bulky at all. it's very thin and sleek. However, if you are looking for something that's very durable, this might not be the case for you.

Yeah I think you did get lucky, because the cut out on mine was not even centered like how it is with yours. The holes on mine came down more to where the camera, lights and speakers are. And in the front, the top part of the tpu covered the silver bezel but hardly covered the bottom part. Close enough to where it looks like the tpu was sagging. I was so pissed that I literally wanted to cover the case in gasoline and burn it for how ****ty, it was lol. I honestly think that the feel of the case just feels so cheap. I have a few other tpu cases I purchased on eBay at a much cheaper price that felt more of a high quality than that piece of crap that sgp made lol. But alas, I returned it back to sgp with an e-mail stating that they did a piss poor job with the case lol.

I guess I'm another of the lucky ones. My cutouts fit perfect, and I have no issues (besides the whole oversensitive buttons issue) but I can relate to the whole "looseness" thing.
As far as TPU cases go, the NeoHyb is definitely not cut to be "tight-fitting" like the some of the other TPU cases I've seen. Without the band, the TPU base IS loose fitting.
With the plastic band though, the entire assembly is tight enough that any attempts to pull it off usually takes the battery cover along with it.
Also, the TPU is more pliable and softer then most other TPU cases I've seen, which makes the "loose" feeling even worse, but I take it it's made that way for better impact absorption.
It's definitely not soft and stretchy like silicone though, which I hate.
So, is the NeoHybrid a perfect case? No. The plastic band is too thin, too slippery. The TPU back is not rough enough. The buttons don't really work without modifications. The TPU rim around the screen, as the OP said, feels "sharp" enough out of the box to be slightly uncomfortable.
Yet, for some God forsaken reason, I like the bloody bugger and I think 20 odd dollars is a fair price for it - considering I've dropped the phone a couple of times already and the case has been doing what it's paid for with aplomb.
YMMV though.
I DO have the Incipio Faxion - another TPU/Polycarb hybrid case I've seen out there - on order though, and plan to do a comparo as soon as it arrives.
Considering I got both at around the same price, it should be an interesting comparison.

I think people are being unreasonable here. This case isn't supposed to be as hard as other TPU cases. That is why there is a polycarbonate hard frame. The whole design philosophy of the Neohybrid is super soft inside with hard shell structural support. I am glad they went for the silicon feel.
The capdase soft jacket feels basically like silicon for anyone going for that type of case. The modello is quite hard by the way. Almost as rigid as a hard snap on shell.

Doesn't feel super soft to me.

did you check if the reseller was selling genuine SGP product? because i almost got a GLAS.t screen protector from a site that was selling it like.. $8 cheaper than SGP but I wasn't sure so I emailed them.. they told me they were fake. maybe it was poorer quality because it was imitation.. but it boggles my mind why anyone would want to imitate $30 items...

I ordered it straight from SGP when they were doing the pre orders. So I'm pretty sure it's genuine unless they're lying and are just making some fake products. They gave me my money back though so it's all good. I'm pretty sure those cheap imitations probably turned out better than their genuine product lol.
