I was extremely paranoid about scratching my screen. However, I have the absolute worst luck when it comes to install a screen protector with NO bubbles. Im kinda OCD, and if i install a screen protector and there is even 1 single small bubble I have to throw it away and start over. After many failed attempts, I started looking for cases with screen protection built in. I ran across this case on Amazon...
http://www.amazon.com/SAMSUNG-PREMIUM-LEATHER-QUBITS-PACKAGING/dp/B0062VEF98/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1325196994&sr=8-1
At only $8.95 I thought this was a steal. Judging by the photos it looked like it could do the job of a screen protector and case just fine. In fact, it would probably protect the screen BETTER than just a regular screen protector in case it falls.
After using the case for a day now, I can say I am extremely pleased with it, especially since its so cheap . Using the Gnex with this case actually feels more comfortable in my hands than without. Here is a run down:
PROS:
Feel more comfortable to hold.
Magnetic clip makes it easy to secure case.
Material feels great.
Really gives a sense of protection.
Phone feels really secure once placed inside.
You can use the extended battery (see images below).
Cons:
With the extended battery, the on button can be a little difficult to press
Can add a little too much bulk for some people.
Taking the phone out of the case can feel difficult. Try too hard and it will pop out so be prepared.
With extended battery, the device slightly rises above the plastic clip.

Well I got sick of the added bulk/weight of my verizon dual case looking around on ebay I found this Ringke case. It's a silicone case, not too much added protection if it were dropped but just for daily use it's good enough. It definitely improves the power button feel, barely even have to touch it. Fit's nice and snug on the phone adds almost nothing to it. It isn't like most silicone cases collecting lint/getting stuck in your pocket it's a different material never seen it on a phone case before Only real complaint is with after market chargers the rubber kind of gets in the way but other then that I have zero complaints about it. For the price I think it was a decent deal.
just figured there might be others out there not sure about it, like I was and give a little insight on it.

Ringke Case
if really wanted I could get pictures of mine on the phone.
I'll post a video review in a couple days. If your looking for a case which add very little bulk to the phone this is it. High quality silicone which doesn't pick up lint, dust or dirt.

Anybody try the Incipio feather case yet?
Review?

Thanks!
I've had mine for about a month now, maybe a little longer, and I absolutely love mine. It gives quite a bit more grip, and it doesn't add much added volume at all. It's quite durable and I like how the black blends right in (I have the black obviously). Got mine off of Amazon I believe. The front has a very small lip on it to protect the face, and it's just thick enough to protect the camera as well.

from the pictures it appears as thought the corners of the phone are completely exposed. can you confirm this? last thing I need is a big chunk out of the corner after I drop it
I examined the pictures as closely as I could and decided against this case for exactly that reason. I'm going to try a case-mate barely there case. It looks very similar but after looking at some Youtube reviews it looks like it has more protection for the corners and a bit more for the top and bottom of the phone.
Here are some pictures in pink for high contrast.

Case-Mate:
I ordered the Case-Mate in black. I will take some pics and review once it arrives.
Here's a video review I saw:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gLaPnLw7-w
Not sure if anyone is still contemplating this case, but I just picked one up since US Cellular is now carrying them for their Galaxy S2 phone (it's the same as ours).
Anyways, the case is istantly my new favorite. Very low profile design and makes the phone a lot easier to hold. The pictures from the Incipio website are very misleading about how the corners are protected. I will try and post some pics a little later...
I bought one within days of picking my phone up. Have bought a TPU and silicone case. This is by far my favorite. I have the white E4GT and the black Incipio looks bad ass on it.
Want it even lighter? Take off the battery door and then put it in your feather...
Picked this up today from Currys (25 quid) the plastic used on the back/sides portion is odd. It grips like it's rubber, but you cannot gouge the surface with a fingernail. Tough as old boots, reputedly able to withstand a wire brushing without marks. also with funky orange absorption panels inside.
The front flap that protects the screen is semi rigid, with a mock suede type fabric inside, and a leather like material outside, that also feels rubbery, and although not as resistant to gouging as the back, any gouges that could be left by keys etc, seem to disappear after a couple of minutes, coupled with a general high quality feel make me think these are going to be a popular brand.
[UPDATE]
Been living with this case for a month now, and I have to say it`s looking like it`s going to stand up to pretty much anything. Although I don`t use it during the workdays, (too grippy, won`t slide in and out of my overalls pocket) It`s the case I go for any other time.
I initially feared that handling it with dirty oily hands (I do occasionally) that it would stain a lot more than it does, but a good wipe down with a damp microfibre cloth, and it`s sparkling again

So this is a review of a nice dual-protection case from tmart.com! It's called the Hard Shell Silicone Case, and it comes in a few colors. I chose the black and gray because it looks best with my white GS3. honestly, I was never into big cases, but i think i'm going to run this case for a while because it just feels nice, and does add a bit more protection!
here's a few pics:

so like i said, the case feels nice and sturdy. it's not TOO bulky, but it's bulkier than i'm used to (basic TPU cases like zoogue, diztronic etc) but again, it does add some protection. it reminds me of a Ballistic dual protection case, honestly. and it's so cheap that it's totally worth it to try it out!
really no cons. everything seems to line up well...at first, though, I noticed when I was taking pictures with flash, there seemed to be a darker spot to the left in the image. upon further inspection, it seemed the flash/camera hole weren't lined up perfectly. all i had to do was take the phone out and re-align it within the case, and this was solved. so, it's not an issue, it's just like every other case out there where it has to be put in perfectly for everything to align well. (i had the same issue with diztronic and zoogue, where the charge port hole wouldn't line up and the charger would fall out.)
the charger port hole seems cut out well, but bigger usb ends don't stay in well. the samsung one is fine, but if you're using another brand (i have a blackberry USB laying around) it kind of wiggles so you really have to make sure it's in.
in the end, this case is awesome! totally worth it for the price!

Hello,
I was picked to do a review of the Roocase Dual View Case. I've had it almost two weeks and here are my initial impressions.
Unfortunately I didn't take any photos of the packaging but it came well packaged and in perfect condition. Getting the tablet into the case was easy and it feels very well protected. The texture is a nice leather feel and the inside is a soft fiber.

The case also came with a stylus that also works as a pen. Works nice though I haven't really felt a need for a stylus.
The case closes easily via the magnet and triggers the screen on and off.
You can put the tablet in a landscape stand easily.
It does sit pretty well in this position and is a snap.
To put it in portrait but standing you need to pull the velcro apart and reattach it sideways with the outer part of the case.

This didn't balance too well and fell over a couple times. I probably just didn't have the right technique. Not really a position I ever use anyway.
The case does add more thickness than I'd like so it is hard to hold one handed for me when I want to read.
View attachment 3402781
It also can be a bit of a challenge to touch the edges of the screens (especially in landscape when trying to touch the bottom) due to the case wrapping around the front a bit.
All in all I do like the case though it's bulkier than the MoKo Slim Fit case I have been using. It offers more protection and is easier to stand up then my other case which you need to pop out one side of the tablet to get it to stand.
In the two weeks I've had this case it's worked very well my tablet seems very protected. Case looks and feels like new yet and should last forever. For your money it's a great deal!
Thank you for the opportunity to review.
