So after receiving my Ultra Capsule case from SGP and being disappointed with the fit like everyone else I went ahead and ordered the Mercury TPU case from ebay. It is almost identical to the Ultra Capsule series but the fit is much better and this is with me using the extended battery with the stock battery door. There are cutouts for everything which I like compared to the Ultra Capsule that didn't have cutouts for any buttons. Note that the fit is not perfect as the top doesn't go perfectly over the edge of the screen but still gives a lip to prevent the screen from touching the ground if its dropped face down. This is a clear choice right now if you are a LTE owner looking for a nice white case or one of the other colors they offer. Pics are garbage quality sorry.

Can anyone compare this to the Diztronic TPU case?
I LOVE my Diztronic case (as do many other GN owners), the fit is PERFECT even with extended battery.
But this case comes in some different colors!!
I have the diztronic as well. Fit is not as perfect but it works if you want different colors.

Anyway you could post a pic with the stock battery & stock cover to see if it fixes the case at the top of the screen? thanks.
Will try to get to it tomorrow. Just a quick update that I got the top lip of the case to fit over the front of the phone by pushing it over a little. Seems to stay in place now.
I was really looking forward to the LTE version of the SGP Ultra Capsule because I want a white TPU case, but I may get this instead! I don't want to go too long without a case.

I just received the 2 cases I ordered but couldn't seem to get it to fit my Verizon Gnex. I have stock battery. Is there a trick to getting it to cover and what about screen protectors? Do you have one on your phone?
**Never mind. I am going to sell these two cases, one is purple and the other is lime green. Let me know if you are interested.
Im mostly curious as to staining. I LOVE white on any phone/device but everytime I get a case (Usually a soft touch shell or lint magnet) after about a week of using it, it get a nasty discoloration from my pocket/hands/ect. especially around the corners and back. Does TPU do this too? Or am i doomed to find a proper white case?

Most TPU turns the ugly yellowish color after about 2-4 weeks. I know we add a chemical that stops this process in our white TPU
So this won't work on lte with extended battery with extended cover? I like how it looks but I don't want to commit if I can use.

I have the Lte gnex with stock battery and I wasn't able to get it to fit over both sides. The first post here says they have the extended with stock door and they got it to fit. If there is a trick to it, and anyone wants to share it, I would love to hear it.
I have the white version of this case if anyone's interested in pics. I've only had it for a few days but it's come in handy when my phone survived a fall of around 4ft onto tile with no damage. I also have the diztronic and I feel like this case is more sturdy/stiff, but neither is bad protection wise.

Best white case IMO.

Perfect fit(gsm)
I own other cases but this is the best. my only complain if I would be picky is that there is a line around the side of the case (check last pic), I know it is the way plastic stick together but I would like to be a little less obvious.
If you want to buy it,$16.99, I would recommend checking ebay, as SGP has an official ebay store and shipping is free (in their website has same price but they charge shipping)
Thanks!
does it fit the LTE perfect?
How hard is it to push the volume and power buttons?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
Seller says only international version
-----
It is a little hard pushing the buttons, there is no feedback for power button. You get use to it eventually.
It fits the GSM version with the extended battery so I'm sure it fits the LTE version with the standard battery. Extended might be pushing it.
It is true there is virtually no feedback from the power button.
I had the same case when I had my first nexus. Lovely case, feels great.
It does fit the LTE version but doesn't look as good as the GSM version IMO, it does look damn good tho

How is it compared to regular TPU cases? How is the protection? I like the look of it, but there is a smaller lip around the screen than with most other TPU cases? Won't that protect the phone less?
Nice to see someone like this as well. I have the black version and use an extended 2000mAh batt. fits well. i do have a GSM phone.
I'm a new gsm user, and i'm happy this case will fit the gsm version with extended battery
Where can i buy the 2000mah battery original for the best price ???

I have the mercury TPU case, and it looks it protects better (it is ticker) but it makes the phone to big and I don't like the way it looks.
This spigen case will protect the phone against scratched form desks, from drops I don't know; but I would help, it is not super thin anyway it is ticker than the battery cover.
I never really used my other cases after one week (phone felt bulky), but this spigen one I haven't taken it off since I bought it, very good balance btw protection and looks.
Off topic but where can I get that wallpaper from? I've looked everywhere and can't seem to find it. Could you pretty please post it?

I second this.
The lip over doesn't really protect the phone but making the screen appear smaller and clunkier because all you need is a raised edge that lifts the screen slightly up when placing it face down(not overlapping it); SGP Capsule got it.
It's my 2nd favorite case.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the seller shimshop on ebay has the best price for the genuine extended battery and cover.

"This 2-pack comes with two different colors and textures of Samsung Galaxy S III Ultra Slim Covers.The Galaxy S™ III Ultra Slim Cover provides additional protection for your handset against scratches on the back of the device. If you typically don't buy cases for mobile phones, this is the option for you. The case is ultra slim, giving you the feeling that it's not even there - aside from the texturized grip it provides, keeping the phone from sliding off surfaces or falling out of your pocket. Allows unimpeded access to ports and buttons, assuring your Galaxy S III is fully functional."

Does anyone have one of these? What are your thoughts? Exactly how thin are these things?
There's three main reasons that I never use a case:
There's only so much room in my pocket as it is
Decreases sexiness
I use mounts that are designed specifically for my phone. A case would get in the way of that.
If I am to believe their marketing... "The case is ultra slim, giving you the feeling that it's not even there"... then it would seem like at least #1 and #2 on my list would not be as much of a concern. #3 would probably still be an issue, but who knows. I plan on getting a ProClip holder for my SGSIII, and I've never had one before so I don't know exactly how snug it will be. If this cover really is as thin as they make it sound, maybe it'll even fit in that too.
Thoughts?
P.S. Show of hands... who saw "ultra slim, giving you the feeling that it's not even there" and immediately wanted to make a sexual joke?
I've also been looking for the slimmest case possible and been eyeing these. Any input would be appreciated!
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
+1 also interested in these but have no idea how they translate as noone has reviewed them or has them that I've seen.
I'm not as worried about scratches as I am about the thing sliding out of my pocket or very short falls.
Although I'm sure this thing would probably increase friction enough to lower my concerns about pocket escape I'm not sure that it looks like it provides any additional padding vs my kitchen floor.
My main doubt with these is whether the case is so thin it breaks or becomes stretched..
Will have to check best buy to see if they are going to carry this like the flip cover.
And I will be the first to admit that I thought of a sexual joke too.
Well I went to buy them and they are on back order... guess they are more popular then we thought.

Doesn't look like that item really offers anything in terms of protection, aesthetics, or ease-of-holding. The Samsung ones probably don't offer much protection either, but the texture will at least help to grip the phone. Looks a little nicer too.

Just ordered that few days ago. lol
0.3mm thin! think about it! Though it doesnt offer much protection, im only planning on using it around the house and my friends houses.
I typically get a tough case like a Silicryllic or Otterbox, and a lighter/thinner hard case to protect from scratches when being put down, keep cameras protected, and a slight drop.
For my thin case I bought the Rock Quicksand in grey for my Pebble Blue GS3, and am VERY happy with it. It adds a lip around the screen so it can be set face down, controls are easy to get to, and it's different from everything out there. It's great to just have around the house, and set on a desk or counter and not worry about scratching the back.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0089E44OM/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
Also considering the Diztronic blue TPU when it's released, and then either the Silicryllic or an otterbox maybe.

Slim Cases
I'm (DBA Cases) am going to release one in 2-3 weeks.
That one for a few bucks is going to be garbage. When you are talking thin cases you have to use the right materials - no way they are.
Mine have a special blend of polycarbonate to take falls and scratches, a great grip and better design.
Of course they will be more than a few bucks but I'll have them on EBAY probably.
Let me know I'd love to test and write a full review for ya I'll cover shipping

Saw a review for it on youtube. Looks really sleek but the deal breaker for me was that it doesn't have a lip in front that lets you leave it face down without scratching it up.
Here's the link though:

hey this one is also a genuine samsung case and it has the lip:

I've got the Rearth Alpine White Ringke earlier in the week. It's super thin. I've got a Speck Candy shell arriving today for comparison...
I owned one of the 0.3mm cases from ebay for my s2 and I'll give you my opinion:
1. They protect the phone pretty well. Even through some minor falls the case still held on and didn't crack
2. The case scratches pretty easy. If you get the clear one its not as noticeable, but it was very noticeable when I owned the black one.
3. I kept a screen protector on the phone as the lip on the screen side is minimal and I was still scared of setting it down on the screen side otherwise.
4. Used the case for ~6mos(2 mos black version, 4 mos clear version) with no major issues. It is still on the phone as we speak.
5. Super cheap(~$3) and did exactly what it was supposed to do(prevent scratches on the phone and case
I already have one on order for my S3

No branding. Buttons are dimples, work fine. Cutouts are perfect.
Mix of matte and gloss black.
TPU is tight and resistant to pulling off the edges of the screen.
Ordered late Friday night, got Monday morning.

Looks pretty good. Question: The amazon title says "and screen protector." This isn't a case with a built in screen protector, is it? I have a screen protector on mine already, so I don't need a case that has a screen protector built in, like an Otterbox or something. Just want a snap on case. So provided that it's just a case and a screen protector comes separately, how's the case fit regarding the screen? Does it seem like it'd interfere with a screen protector? Thanks
Screen protector is not part of the case. Just received this. Very nice
Awesome, thanks for the reply. Sold it for me, buying now
It just includes a cheapo plastic stickon protector.
The edge that wraps around the front is small, shouldnt interfere with any normal screen protectors.
You also have the quicksand case right? Which do u prefer this or the quicksand?

Quicksand is obviously slimmer. The sandy texture is nice.
This provides WAY more protection though. The matte texture is also nice.
It's a matter of what you need.
Just got this Hyperion case in. Perfect cutouts, perfect form factor still kept (it's very slim). $6-7 on Amazon, can't be beat.
+1 from me. I've got the clear case, nicely shows off moto maker colors while still giving it that bit of extra protection.
I also ordered this one and was pleasantly surprised.

Got it today and love it. Wondering if I should've ordered the clear one though so I could see more of the back.
I got the frost clear one for a white moto x and it looks really good. The back has a nice matte feel to. I think this is the best tpu case for the moto x. I'd like a simliar hard case that is below 10$ but I can't seem to find one. Clear, dimple cut out, thin with a little lip for lay on the table.
Got this in frost clear. It's not bad but still too thick for my liking. Biggest complaint is that buttons are hard to press, would prefer a cutout of the buttons. Would've liked the whole thing to be matte and to reduce the edges on the front; they are too close to the screen.
The quest continues for the perfect TPU case.

Yes I had a TPU case from Spigen for my GS3 that was simply perfect. Super thin and somehow it did not interfere with the front of the phone at all, unlike most other cases. It kinda tapers outward, instead of towards the screen, so it still gave protection from falls. And yet it all managed to stay snug. This is the kind of case i'm looking for.

Just got mine today, black. Not sure I'm thrilled with it. It's thinner than the Tudia Dual. Doesn't feel as protective. It didn't "hug" the phone as well as I was hoping it would, the Tudia is a nice slim snug fit. Not much of a lip over the front of the phone screen. The silver bezel on the top/bottom of the phone is visible with it on.

There's something strange, something wrong on this case...
Just an update, I stopped using the Orzly Fusion case, even on the Bamboo the case is loose (or maybe because it's on the Bamboo and it's thicker so it's not hugging the phone properly).
posted this on google+ originally
Orzly Oneplus One case came in yesterday. Very satisfied and happy that it fits perfectly with the Bamboo Swapstyle cover. The buttons are tough as hell to press but it's not a deal breaker. Plus the shine effect the clear back gives to my OnePlus is a beauty.

Clench your phone, as if you're trying to compress the lips over your phone sides, you will feel like it has movement as if it really is loose.
I found the same thing. Fit is nowhere near as snug as I would have liked it to be, and I would have much preferred a bit more lip for screen protection.
I just received this too. It's an okay case.. NOT a fan of clear rears. But for 5 bucks not bad.
...
Iv had this for about 2 weeks. i love the case. I believe bigballa on the xda community has posted some really helpful pics. The fitting around the sides is perfect and access to all ports is spot on as well. Iv read some odd amazon reviews but i really cant fault this case. Shows the back of my phone nicely whilst offering great protection
kind of glad i got the diztronic instead, is recommend it I might pick up the fusion later on
Remove back Plastic
Hi,
Same here seems that it is realy thinn and not so protective. We will see after some drops (I hope It will not happen soon).
I remove all the plastic back part (with a dremel: Grinding and Cuting head) to preserve the sandstone back feel of the phone and to keep the weight down. Its is quite good, the case is still well in place, not so loosy. There is a litle loose in the midle of the long border. If I redo this operation I will keep a litle platic stripe between the midle of the long borders.
I will try to cut the back of an Diztronic case to compare the overall rigidity.
Regards,
+ 9h nilkin tempered glass screen protector
I've had the clear version of this case for about a couple months and have dropped it several times. No damage, just some small chips on the edges of the nilkin tempered glass screen
I have the case about 5 days, but I send it back, there are some problems with it.
First the polycarbonat back scratches really easy and looks bad, second is the case not fits at the top and bottom, so there can enter a lot of dust.
I can not recommend this case
The back transparent easy to scratch. Demmittt.
I actually really love this case. It is much slimmer than the ringke fusion and actually maintains the shape of the opo with minimal bulk. Also, I made my own template (much like I did with the ringke fusion) So I can have custom backs.
The one downside is quality control though. When I got the case, one of the plastic protective sheets was positioned halfway down the back and there was a small scratch on the top right hand corner.
That said, this is still my favourite case.

I was considering buying this, but what you guys said, made me change my decision and I bought the pelosi case.. Perfect fit, sandstone feeling and very slim fit
So, I was looking for a new skin on my phone when I realized that I didn't want to do a wrap. If you're like me, you'll spend $10 and then remove the skin in like a week. After that you'll have to buy another one if you want to go through the process again. I'm not 100% into cases because of bulk and this is a damn sexy phone.
I scoured a few different places looking for a white thin case when I came across this: ELAGO THIN CASE
Here are my pros:
Fit is perfect
Cut outs are exact
This actually feels like it could be part of the phone
Has a Matte White look
Not TPU, its a hard plastic
Lots of compliments just in one day
Cons (Keep in mind, these are things people may not like but doesn't bother me)
Phone is still a little slippery
Buttons are now a bit more flush with the case
Zero lip over the glass to put upside down
The cut outs are exact so accessories are about 1mm from being perfect
I'm going back for the other two colors. This is an awesome case. Does anyone else have any ultra thin cases they can recommend.

Is there a promo code for that one? Kinda high in price.
got this today, it's going back. I have a skin on my phone, the case went on with ease on top of that and was still not snug
I got the Anccer in gravel black:

Preserves "caseless" feel, super grippy.
Do not spend 10 USD for just re-branded case.
Buy the exact same one just for 4USD.

Good call.
Edit: Just went to the link. I just don't like AliExpress. I had problems with them in the past. 20-39 days for a case when I can get it in 2 days from Amazon, meh... I'll pay the difference.

Really? That's a bummer. Mine fits perfect and has no movement. I don't have any sort of skin. I wonder if that's throwing off the fit.

It looks just as good in person.
Needs a top and bottom lip. Put your phone face down and it will scratch.

Nope. User a screen protector.. Cases with lips exist. This is for absolute minimalists.
Just went to the mailbox to get the Elago case I ordered after seeing this thread. I'm coming from the Spigen Slim case and, even by comparison, the Elago is ridiculously thin! I love it, but it definitely needs to be paired with a screen protector in order to keep the phone somewhat safe.
It is probably not nearly as thin as that case, but I usually buy Ringke Fusion cases for every phone I get. I love the way it adds the extra tactile feel to the buttons, and has saved me from many drops even on asphalt and hard concrete. I'm not sure how it is on the S8+ yet as my S8+ is not here yet. but I've used Ringke Fusion cases on OP3T, Nexus 6P, Nexus 6, Xperia Z3, and I have loved it on every phone.

Not even close.
Just a heads up. The Elago scratches and scuffs pretty easily. Not that I expected much from such an inexpensive case but, I've been babying my black Elago and, within 24 hours it already has 4 or 5 long scuff marks across the back. Not a big deal, just thought I'd mention. It would've been nice if they had used the same type of rubberized finish found on the Spigen and Ringke slim cases.

Who sets their phone with the screen down?
