I agree, It doesn't even protect the sides all the way...
I wouldn't buy it

Kinda cool how they integrated the kick stand, but I agree its kinda a bad wrap around the phone.

It does cover more then the T-Mo Clear case w/kickstand though and for $9 i think i may just get it to try it out.
On a side note.... i stopped by the Verizon store today to see if the sweet Fascinate Kickstand case would fit on my Vibrant. It did fit almost perfect except the speaker was block and the camera was half blocked. I think im going to order this korean one and then if that doesnt work i may just buy the fascinate one and modifiy it to work with my vibrant. It really felt and looked awesome... just wish it was 100% perfect match

*My previous post got deleted by accident w/all the other 24 hr data during yesterday's maintenance*
I think that seller was selling 3 diff colors; black, white, and pink(?). I bought the black one 3 wks ago and recieved it about a wk ago. Initially, I thought that it was going to be shiny hard plastic case but to my pleasant surprise, it wasn't. The exterior is covered in a thin layer of hard rubber, covering the black hard shiny plastic underneath, while the inside of it is slightly padded. It looks a lot better in person than in pics.
Is the kickstand serving its purpose? Hell yea, it is...it makes watching movies on my dope SAMOLED screen that much more awesome The hard rubber makes for a good grip so it won't easily slip out of your palms like it sometimes would w/out it and it gives the phone an overall slick/cool (IMO) look. The only downside so far is that I'm getting some very small worn out spots where the hard rubber has rubbed off but it's not a big deal though.
Pics or it didn't happen, you say? Well, check 'em out !

Awesome TEE!!!!! That's exactly the response I was looking for! I went ahead and ordered mine last nite! Thanks so much! cant freakin wait!

No prob...it's a great investment. The seller also threw in a surprise gift--an extra clear jelly case!

just wanted to bump this thread and want to say i absolutely love this case. its slim and doesn't add any heft to the phone. i also like how the company added some soft padding on the inside of the case so our phones won't get scratched up on the battery case.
only problem is with the extra jelly case they provided; while looking and feeling nice, it's hard to press power button with it on.
at any rate, excellent case.

I purchased one about a week ago. I havent received it yet, but i can wait.

It looks good I just placed an order. thanks for posting pictures.

[REVIEW] Case-Mate Barely There (Metallic Silver)

I purchased the Silver Metallic "Barely There Case" last week. Shipping was great - arrived in one piece.
The first thing I noticed is the color. The picture shown is nothing like the color you get. I personally am actually okay with that. The color you get is more of a black chrome finish. It's shiny/glossy but NOT a chrome like finish as the pictures would suggest.
Here are some pictures. (Pictures of case ON phone were taken with Droid Charge the ones off the phone were with the Thunderbolt)
The overall fit of the case is great. The case fits all the curves of the phone. The problem I've noticed is the left side of the case "bows" out. Maybe this is a simple defect, who knows. Regardless. If you hold it from both sides you can feel it move which also causes it to make a very slight, yet annoying noise.
Overall, it seems like a decent case. Not sure if I'd recommend it at this point however.
Sorry if this isn't that helpful as I can't say I've ever done a case review before. I will admit I am a complete case whore though. I hope vajacases makes a Thunderbolt case!
-Travis

I just ordered one of these off ebay in black. I hope it's not bowed, so that the phone doesn't move around inside the case. That would definitely annoy me.

Well let me clarify... The phone doesn't move around in the case. The case itself just isn't a tight enough fit so you can actual feel the case change shape.

I've got the black one at work, don't remember it moving around in the case, or it being loose, but I'll try to remember to check it tomorrow and report back.

thats pimpin'

I noticed that when the Barely There case was on, the fit wasn't perfect around the volume buttons, and it did make a tiny bit of a noise when it was gripped around that area.

I grabbed a black one and love it. Sure, it doesn't provide full protection that some cases do, but the 'barely there' name is totally legit. I can't stand cases and I barely notice this one. Case is pretty good but the seam was coming apart on one corner, emailed Case-Mate and they are sending me out a new one. Great customer support! I would recommend this case to anyone who is looking for a little extra protection without making an already large phone, giant... Check out the pics I tried to show just how thin it really is. Oh and ignore all that lint...

Mini [REVIEW] Hybrid TPU - Pics

So I got this from Amazon seller LowerPriceUSA.
Total....under $6 shipped
Overall really nice feel for the little amount I paid. The clear back is hard shell...while the sides are softer TPU material.
Button are easy to push without much effort. All ports aligned very well. The charger port plug works nicely without any issues.
The case has a slight "ridge" that protects the screen from touching the surface if you flip it over face down.
Barely adds any bulk...still sleek and slim...gives a nice non-slip grip too.
I would recommended this case to anyone for a inexpensive alternative. I know I'll be getting a different style case later on for Christmas too...so I'll let you know how that one goes.
Here are some crappy pics from my older iPhone 3GS

i've seen a lot of those on ebay
looks good
i'd have gone with a blue, or red, or yellow, or orange, or purple version

I have the purple one & while it LOOKS good, power button operation sucks. It's hard to find by feel & even then you have to press hard.

Mine take very little effort to find or push. I'm digging it so far.

Same problem with me, bought the red one, looked really good on but the power button was a pain in the butt to try and push. And way too hard to "find". Thought I would get used to it but ended up taking it off after a week or two.

This case was reviewed when the phone was 1st released.........
People with problems pressing the buttons, get an exacto and cut on both side of the buttons so it depresses easier.

I've been using this case since Day 3 of owning the T989, and I can say it has served me well, and as hard as I've tried to overlook the difficulty of locating the buttons (friends can never find them) and actually pressing them, I've decided to switch to a Diztronic case that should be coming in any day now

Have you guys used this case with a screen protector? Does it pull it up at all?
I am thinking about getting this case:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005OLZ26C/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&m=A3V68UDPGK256K
Which looks like yours but seems to have the cutouts for power/volume buttons.

Does not have cutouts...trust me. And, yes, it does push up.

REVIEW: Elago G5 Flex Case for Galaxy S3

I wanted a dark-blue navy colored case that was full-fitting. As in, no loss of protection to any corner/edge of the phone.
This case was the closest I could find to what I wanted, so at $15 shipped in the USA, I went ahead and picked it up.
I'm not crazy about this case. But it's not bad either. Pretty good for $15 shipped I guess.
Here are some plus's & minuses.
1) It's kind of slick feeling. Like it could easily slip through my fingers. Not the worst ever, but definitely one of the slippery feeling cases I've used.
2) It always feels "dusty" even when it's clean?
3) #2 is probably because it has a "silky soft" feel to it. I'm probably just not used to the way that feels. It does not feel like any TPU case I've ever used before. It does not feel overly rubbery but instead, almost "cloth-like".
4) It's a perfect fitting case. VERY easy to put on and remove. So easy in fact, that you think the phone might fall out. But once the case is on, it feels like it fits perfectly. The case does not wiggle around like some cases I've had before.
5) The cutouts are all very good.
6) The USB cutout is large enough to allow all of my microUSB connectors to flush fit the phone when connected.
7) The blue color has a barely perceptible PURPLE tinge to it. Even though it's mostly blue. Kinda like the phone itself.
8) It has not gotten any scratches in the few days I've used it so far.
9) There is a huge blemish above the volume rocker. I've circled it in the pic below.
VOLUME BUTTON WITH BLEMISH ABOVE IT. Blemish is circled in red.

It's for the version with a tv aerial. This is what always stopped me buying one of these, can never know until it arrives if a version without the hole exists.

Are these only found on the International variants?

Probably for the Korean market. They have DMB which requires an antennae to watch TV.

If this is designed for the korean market S3... its gotta be slightly loose, as the S3 with the TV antenna is slightly thicker

What case do you have?!

I'm currently using a standard black soft case but am looking for a change of pace.. What are you guys using? What works well for you?

Well, im using a pretty cheap one with kickstand which i really like. Found it on ebay at about USD$7.00. Its double layered, and protects the phone A LOT. Im also using a Zagg Screen Protector too. I want to keep my phone as close to new as possible.

Yeah i hear ya lol i got mine for cheap on ebay too, i have an iphone screen protector on LOL it fits because well... the ENTIRE iphone is the size of our screen *flex* but anyway

Consist of two parts
Has a rotating clip that can be converted to a stand
And the sliding parts that house the phone can be inserted in both sides if you want the screen to be inside and protected.
I bought it from local market ... Only 6$

Q&A or Accessories would have been the correct sub-forum for this thread, maybe a mod will move it for us.
I started with a OB Defender, moved to the Trident Kraken, and now I use the OB Commuter. I also have a skin that is made for a 3rd party extended battery, but I have never used the battery or skin.

OB and trident are so expensive lol i feel like any hard case would be fine.. i dont drop my phone lol and $50 is pretty crazy...

I have this case:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007K5H4YS/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00
Along with a white Fantom tempered glasss screen protector:

Love the combo; looks sweet, quite safe, and an unexpected side effect: the ladies dig it.
(sorry about the pic, my N7 is the only other camera I have at the moment...)

Well.. It depends. If you drop your phone right now and bust the screen you are going to spend way more fixing it. If you drop/scratch/ding your body/screen but dont break it then you are stuck looking at a flawed/ugly phone. With OB or Trident you are most likely not going to have these problems. I have dropped mine over and over but under the case is a flawless phone that looks like it just came out of the box. And under my ZAGG is a screen that has never been touched by a human finger. When I go to sell it, the price will reflect that.
Additionally the port covers are a must for me and are mostly only found on those cases. Just search for the threads on "wont charge / usb not working / etc". My old roommate had to send hers in for a replacement because of issues with the charging port.
You get what you pay for, for sure.

I use the Rearth Ringke Slim, and the Ringbo screen protector from the same company. The case is very slim and low profile, but probably doesn't offer the best protection from a major drop.
