is there anything that is like an iPhone bumper for the GSII?
Or maybe like a red skin decal for the entire phone?
this would be nice, i was looking for those carbon fiber skins or something because i really hate having a case on it
I also don't like having a case, since I like the slimness and look of the phone when it's naked. However, I also am paranoid about scratches and scuffs.
My solution was a feather case by incipio.

Check out the thread on these cases to get some feedback and decide if you want one. I got the black one and personally love it - fits great, slim, and gives enough protection to curb my paranoia.
Feather case + realook screen protector = great combination!

I am looking for a new case for my captivate and seem to be at a stand still. I had the Incipio Edge clear case cause when I got my phone that's all they had at AT&T. I also didn't know the case comes directly from hell! Seriously, don't get this case no matter what. Your phone is better off naked then with the Edge. Anyway, I am wanting something that isn't to expensive, cool looking, and that will protect the phone well. I have looked at the Amzer Silicone color cases but was wondering if anyone had and liked it. Also have looked at Body Glove, but still unsure of what to get. Please whatever case you have drop a response and tell me what it is and if you like it. I would appreciate all the help I can get finding the right case that I know other people have and like. Thanks fellow Captivated Android fans!

I have the Body Glove Silicone case. I like it because it adds nice protection without much extra heft.

+1 It's a very nice case. Doesn't grip my pocket lining like most silicone cases. I usually prefer my phone naked, but after destroying my iphone 3g I figured I'd better be safer lol.
yes Body Glove FTW!!!
btw check the thread 'other source of Body Glove case' for cheaper deal than att.
I'm personally using the Amzer Jelly Case (which actually feels fairly solid) http://www.amzer.com/Amzer-Silicone-Skin-Jelly-Case-Black-P88806.htm
available in a ton of colors and I like the elongated-X shape on the back. I'm not sure how it is with the other colors, but the white one shows it as being very opaque when it is partially translucent (I can still read the Galaxy S on the back)
haha yea trust me DO NOT get the stock cases that are 19.99...i hate it lol
I'm using the amzer crystal snap on case its great and for the price it's worth. Great look and feel with out adding much to the phone.

Bodyglove
I just got the Body Glove Mirage case also. I originally bought the OEM Carbon Fiber case directly from Samsung but returned it because it wouldn't snap closed completely. I liked the material because it felt sturdy with a nice grip but was concerned about the noticeable gap from the 2 pieces not closing properly.
The Body Glove is the best one I've seen so far although I'm not that fond of the design on the back. But it protects my phone so it's good until I find something else.
SeidioOnline has the Innocase II Surface that's "Coming Soon" which looks pretty decent. It actually looks similar to the Samsung Carbon Fiber but instead of 2 front and back pieces snapping together, it looks like a top and bottom piece kind of slides onto the phone.
Another one for Body Glove. Nice looking case and it does its job with not alot of bulk. I am looking forward to the Otterbox cases but its doubtful anything will impress me. Just too bulky but I like the protection they offer so we shall see
I am very happy with the zagg invisishield. I like that you really can't see it.
So far I have the Zagg Shield and the Body Glove Skin. But I think I'm going to get the new Body glove snap on case with the kickstand built into the clip. I find myself watching video more and more so the kickstand will come in handy.
And yeah I also made the mistake of getting the Incipio Edge case. That thing was awful. It took me 20 MINUTES to get the case off of the phone. I promptly returned it.
I currently have 3 cases. A clear plastic one from amazon. (pretty cheap and hard to get off, but a decent case for 3.99) then a clear smoke grey silicon jelly case from mr. hit (good case, add grip and looks nice too while adding protection for only 5.99!.) And the amzer luxe argyle tpu case. Which is a really nice case! A bit more pricey but worth every penny (14.99) I think. And I am a freak about protection, so underneath it all I have phantomskinz chromatic white carbon fiber stick on skin (for the days I don't wasn't to have a case on. And a plus is it looks really cool underneath the amzer luxe argyle case (and the clear smoke grey silicon one as well.)
I walked into an at&t store and a lady that worked there was amazed at my phone and showed it off to all of her co-workers.
All in all its really up to you and your taste. But IMO AMZER for the win. (or body glove tpu, as they are both tpu)!

argyle
i have the amzer argyle case (the whitish clear one) bought it from amazon and is like 2$ cheaper than the ones sold from main amzer.com. its great, the galaxy s on the back is very visible and offers protection just as good as the rubber body glove from att. way cheaper too.
I just got the body glove snap on case, with the belt clip. dosnt add alot of bulk to the phone, gives it a nice grip. good fit, all buttons and plugs easy to get to. also, found it on ebay for 17 bucks.
Body Glove Mirage case FTW!

Body Glove - real world test
Luckily, I bought the Body Glove (Mirage) last week because I dropped my phone today from about 4 or 5 feet high and it landed on asphalt. It simply bounced once and stopped. No screen scratches and not even a nick (sp?) on the case. Good stuff!
Thanks to everyone for their recommendations. I ended up going with the Amzer Jelly case in green. Awesome case that really protects my phone. Highly recommend it!

I definitely recommend the Body Glove Mirage as well. I have had the saladin captivate for only a short time but the moment I put this case on my phone felt thee times more secure in my hand. The back of the mirage case is like no other rubberized case I have ever used. It has a wonderful texture that gives the back of the phone a lot more grip. I highly recommend this case to anyone, get one while they're in stock. Almost every store that carries it in my area has been out of stock.

You try to find it on ebay, I think you 'll find a variety of rubber case for your device and the price is quite affordable
I got my girlfriend a Amzer TPU case, I have the same kind on my Tbolt

I bought a $4 silicone case from amazon that seems to be working quite well. It doesnt quite fit as snug as I'd like though, but it keeps the profile small and its easy to get out of my pocket.
Case
Yeah..i think silicon case is better..
I am now using a soft pouch, I think it's better than a silicone case because it protects also the screen and it's not "sticky" like silicone cases are (I always found difficult to put the phone into the jeans' pocket when I am sitting if I use a TPU case)... You could try a pouch and see if you like it
Thanks for the ideas on cases. I have thought about getting one but never sure which are cheap and rip easy or whatnot.

How fat is it? I have a rubber case also but I don't consider it fat. I have not seen any case for this phone also.

I bought a $7 silicone case from my local ATT store and this thing is the best. It fits nice and snug, and is easy to remove if need be. Of course, I wear carpenter jeans so the slight stickiness doesn't bother me. AFAIK tho, I believe they stopped selling it in my area so that may be the case everywhere.
These three cases look nice! Does anyone have them? Which is best?
Amzer Silicone Skin Jelly Case
EMPIRE Black Rubberized Hard Cover Crystal Case

Text of test.
I have black rubber case. I love it.
I really dont want to use a case for my phone, but i need one to use it on my car dock.. which requires me to stick a piece of metal on my phone so i can attach it to a magnet in my car (Tetrax x-way if anyone is wondering). So im looking for the thinnest case i can buy... I dont even really need it to protect my phone, i just want the thinnest layer possible.
Any recommendations?

I can also confirm that the Ringke slim is the thinest case around
Yeh ringke case slim and if you get it in metallic it blends in with the phones colour and its like you don't have a case on the phone, I love mine.

Best case in that regard is the Diztronic TPU case. It's the thinnest TPU case I've found that actually fits properly. Don't buy anything else, trust me.
If you want to go thinner, I have a CaseMate Barely-There. With the Standard battery COVER (still using the extended battery) it will fit 98% with a small gap at the bottom.
Personally I like the Diztronic v3 Glossy Black for $8. I didn't like the Matte. Glossy blends in better with the screen and looks sexier.
If you want to try the CaseMate, I'll sell it for $15 (normally $25). It's a Matte Black.

The matte has a gloss lip around the screen. The matte also doesnt show fingerprints and grease like the gloss, so I would say the matte is def the way to go.
If you want thin with ext batt and lte phone, go with cruzer lite. Plus they are cool. Read throughout the thread too for feed back other than mine.

which one would you recommend? any other case that are good?
Really depends on the level of protection you need. I've used just phone skins for looks, to bumpers, to silicone cases, to otterboxes. Depends on what you need and want to look at.
Third one looks great but I prefer case that cover screen too. Just to be safe side. On my first s3 I got hairline crack without even knowing what and where happened.

YOu might check out amazon. I paid like $19 for an otterbox defender which comes with a screen cover built in and has superb protection
I'm with Pennycake on this. It depends on your level of protection. Me personally, I care more for heavy protection, so I got a Trident Kraken case. At $28.99 plus free shipping on Ebay, it was a great buy.
Yes, as others have said it depends on your usage / preference / risk factor. I'm perfectly happy with my Otterbox Commuter other than it being a little slick. If you don't want the bulk of a hybrid (jelly & hard) case, then I'd probably go with a jelly case over the hard case for the shock protection vs. scratch protection with the hard case.
Of those you suggested, I'd pick the third one because its a "hybrid" and does wrap the edge corners which is pretty important pro wise. That, and it just looks cool
I'm using the UAG case right now (the third link). I think it's a pretty nice case, it doesn't add too much bulk like the otterbox and it gives decent protection. I dropped my phone a couple times with the case on and there are no damages on the phone or the case. Pretty good case in my opinion.
Im looking for a thin case with no design or pattern. Just white or black color

I use the ballistic maxx case I think this is the best case out....it's not bulky like the defender case it's slim and also comes with a holster like the otterbox does it has raised edges that when the phone is dropped it flips the phone in a way it's hard to crack the screen and also comes with a screen protector not the film kind amazon has em for around $15
I'm using SGP neo hybrid case and it feels good and looks good also...

I just found a great case for my S3. Prior to this I'd used a cheap TPU case from eBay, the Case-Mate Tough Case, a Spigen case, and the Hyperion TPU Honeycomb case with extended battery. I'd pretty much settled on the Case-Mate Tough Case, but wasn't too pleased with solid black. When I saw this case online, it seemed too good to be true, but I ordered one anyway. The white TPU/black carbon fiber combination looked good and I liked the flared corners.
The only flaw I see with this case is that it doesn't fit quite as snugly as the Case-Mate Tough. It stays on better than the Spigen, but can't match the two-piece construction of the Case-Mate. It isn't loose, however, and the case seems to offer plenty of protection, especially with my Invisishield Extreme screen protector. In fact, I liked the case so much I got over my anguish at not having the financial werewithal (meaning $$$) to pre-order the S4.
Doesn't "Tiffany" look great in white?
It looks like a nice case... Although it's too bulky for my likings.
