at least its finally posted so we know for sure its real close!
Can you enlight me about this cases. What is so great about innocases?
Features, quality?
Looks good (judging based off of the Innocase for the Nexus One).
How might this case be better than say a TPU/Epik style case? Just curious.
These are the only cases I know of that you can also use with a holster.when I had it for my nexus there was also a option to upgrade to "rugged"which was perfect for me because I was doing construction.

Pics or fail
I hope it's a slider style case and not a snap on. If it's like this one, I'll probably get it.

I second that! I usually use a holster with my phone and this case looks sweet. Otterbox won't be coming out with a defender case for our phone so I think this is perfect! I'm gonna us this for the daily and the TPU case when I need to go light
Nice. This is the kind of case I was looking for. It reminds me a bit of the Agent 18 cases for the iPhone (but slightly higher quality, it looks like).
Has anyone used these cases before on other phones? It looks like it has some rubberized material on the outside? Does it attract lint and dust? The official Gel case (which has now become slightly stretched and useless) continues to pick up every annoying piece of debris. I've given up and gone bare until something better (like this case) comes along.
Do a search for "innocase surface" on YouTube and you'll see a lot of reviews. They describe a slightly rubberized feel to the case, but apparently it isn't tacky and doesn't attract dust or lint.
Yes it is 2 pieces and it slides together. Its had that nice slightly rubberized feel to it but not too muck to their point it grips too much

Sold, sold, sold. I want this thing!
Do they typically sell these at T-Mo corporate stores? Or do you guys just get them online usually?
Great holster
I'm a big fan of the Seidio holsters. I've had one for my last few Blackberries. I tried several different holsters but I was traveling a lot and working in ceilings and not one of them lasted more than a month. The clip would inevitably break off. It happened once and I didn't notice until later. I had to spend over an hour looking for my phone that was on vibrate!
I chose the Seidio because it looked rugged. It never failed no matter how much I abused it. Now that I have an MT4G I'm really looking forward to getting one of their holsters for it. I've never used the Innocase, but I hightly recommend the holster. It's built very tough without looking like it. I don't see they have one listed yet for use without the case, but I'm hoping they'll make one.

Really, I bought a Otterbox Commuter for my Captivate and hated it and returned it the next day. The hard plastic looked cheap and the rubber was a lint magnet. I don't have experience with Seido cases but I bought a holster for my wife's iPhone4 and it's great.
Had an Innocase on my BB 8900 and It was good for the most part. It was one of the slide up ones. But It DID scratch the chrome part on the phone.
I did drop it multiple times on the floor and nothing happened the phone. BUT, one day it dropped about 3 feet down to concrete and the case cracked and wouldn't hold the phone well like it did before.
IT did fall on concrete almost that high before and nothing until that one day.
Also sliding the case off a couple of times messed up its sturdiness. Sturdiness as in, when I'd slide it up it stay on. after a while it wouldn't stay on well.
On my N1 I bought an Otterbox case and it was the best case I had. Even though it attracted lint and was hard to take off sometimes, I wouldn't buy any other case !
EDIT: got a battery from them for my N1. The thickness made me get rid of it. Come to find out the stock battery lasted way longer.
I thought the Innocase II is the one that was 2 pcs and snaps together.

I own the Platinum Series case from Best Buy. It is awesome.
Otterbox
I had 3 of the Candy shell cases for my iPhone, but after about 2 months each the cracked. WHile I had them they were great, but not that rugged.
I just got the Otterbox Commuter for mine and that thing is great, even the buttons are covered, and they are easier to press. Plus I can lay it down without worrying about the camera lens or the screen, it sticks out barely on both sides to protect.
One Of My Friends has a black one, you can barely tell its a case. Ill ask and try to hook you up.

The price of that case is the same price I got my bran-new Inspire 4G for.
I don't know if any of you are still looking for a case for the Inspire 4G (or DesireHD), but I have 10 hard shell black cases with a built-in kickstand. The cases are brand new and they also come with a screen protector.
If you're interested in getting one, please contact me at nkd4cl at g mail. I'd be willing to sell them for $15 + $3 shipping.
I just got a bunch more in, so I could drop the price. Hope this price point helps people out.
Depends on your budget and whatnot. OtterBox makes your phone indestructible for the most part (it's very resilient). If you just want a general case, I'd recommend just getting one off of eBay. That's what I did.
Case Mate Tough Case!!!! (ebay TPU not bad either)
to be honest, the TPU cases are pretty nice. not as much protection as other combo cases, but they sell at the mall for $20 and i got one on ebay for 69 cents after shipping. i had to wait a while as it came from china, but i was pretty impressed with the quality. it even keeps the camera from touching the table when i lay it down.
that said, i ultimately decided on the case mate tough case. it has a rubber inner layer and hard plastic outer layer, a nice ridge around the screen to keep it off the table, full port access, it actually makes the buttons easier to use, its fairly easy to get off and on if you need to but it CERTAINLY isnt going to come flying off if you drop it (i would know, from experience...lol)
my girlfriend has the speck candyshell for her iphone, and its nice, but its kind of hard to get the phone in and out. besides, i think the glossy finish will get scratched up quickly whereas the casemate will wear much better with its textured back.
OH and the casemate tough retails for $30 but i got it on ebay new for $15 definitely worth it! i got the tpu as a less bulky backup should i ever want a "sleeker" case or something happen to the tough one.
i looked at a lot of others, but they didnt seem to offer THAT much more protection when they cost 3x as much. this seemed like the best $ to protection for me since i did pay $50 for my inspire lol
My favorite cases hands down are Seidio cases. Fantastic quality, inexpensive, and they are very clean looking. I've used Seidio on my last 2 phones and will continue to use them on future phones that I own. I swear by them.

You can attach a charm to any phone and most phone cases with an inexpensive little "O" ring device. You might be able to find one at a store that sells phone accessories or you can buy them online.
it looks good
Is it just me or do you guys also spend AGES looking at case after case?
Basically i dropped my phone S3 on Sunday and cracked the screen, today i got it repaired so i now want a case/cover that protects over the edge front of the phone. But i don't to add massive bulk or for it to look too ugly.
Im thinking of getting the Otterbox commuter or the Ballistic lifestyle smooth, which one you guys think would better suit? or is there an alternate case better?
I know its been asked loads so apologies in advance.
Your not the only one. I'm a flashoholic and a caseoholic lol and very very picky with both.
My favorite sk far is the Incipio NGP. I love it. The lip should be plenty to protect from most drops and it adds very little bulk and gives the phone a really high quality feel. The right balance between slippery for pockets and grip for when your holding it.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
My vote goes to the Incipio NGP as well. It is less thick than the GS2 version, but this reduced thickness (0.7mm) makes the phone quite a bit thinner compared to the S2 situation. Feels slick and slides easily out of pockets. Overall one of the best simple TPU cases around, although it is not exactly cheap for just a TPU case.
Naked is best

Do phone shops stock all sorts of cases out there or do you have to order online? would be nice to try before you buy, none of the shops here have anything decent...
These are the only type i've seen in shops here http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/metal-slim-protective-case-for-samsung-galaxy-s3-black-rubber-p35594.htm and that's what ive currently got which did nothing for when mine dropped.

I think most order online. Or at least I do. You'll find a decent selection at most stores but they all have different ones so if you could make it to like an att sprint and Verizon store you should see quite a lot. Online always has a better selection though

not due my upgrade yet, still on s2 but been searching for ages for a case to suit my needs when my s3 comes.
the best I think for me so far is the Acase Superlegerra Pro. looks like exactly what I need.
Hard to choose, right? The Paradox of Choice.
I actually bought too many cases (again) because I couldn't decide. Got various TPU cases from ebay, and Cruzerlite, and the popular hard polycarb Rock case, but finally settled on a so-called hybrid case: the Incipio Silicrylic dualpro, as it provides the best protection, grip, and looks, without adding too much bulk.
(Looking forward to Incipio's future cases for the Nexus 7 too)
I was also in search for a case for more than two weeks. At last I settled for Acase Superlegerra Pro. Lot got good reviews and value for money.
Also providing the same level of protection of a Otterbox commuter.
I have looked at reviews and posts (thanks the_Biz) to finally purchase the Case Mate Tough which is presently being delivered by Amazon. My next step is to select a protective screen which I have not decided but it may be the Ultra Crystal for its 4H hardness and compatibility with all cases. Now I am searching for a couple holsters the horizontal and vertical possibly the Reiko and Active holster respectively but I need to review further for quality and compatibility. When all the above is completed I will order the phone and should not worry about cracking the screen like you had experienced
I got the trident ageis and it works pretty well. I always keep my phone in a case but what did I do I took it out to put on a new screen protector and it slipped out of my hand and landed face down. Luckily there was no damage and I put it right back in!

Living in the UK, the main issue I am finding is that you guys in the US get the best cases!!
Yeah I hear ya, but for the moment I'm going with the otterbox commuter case since I have had good experiences with them
Later on next month I'm a customized case mate
I have 5 cases already. The Neo Hybrid in Infinity White, the silver SGP Ultra Thin, the Glacier Otterbox Commuter, a white/ red silicon/hard case from eBay, and a clear case that I got with the phone. And I'm always on the hunt for a good looking case lol

case
Verizon threw in a free case when I upgraded to the S3 which is brilliant because it covers their logo
Slim I'd say reearth slim takes it over case mate barely there. I have both.
I think the seidio active is awesome although for all the case conversations on xda I never see people talk about it for this phone. Definitely better than the spigen lumi for hybrid cases. Again I have both.
And u can get a kickstand on the active if that's how u roll. I did..
Those are the four have bought so far. Problem? Prob..

I have a Fosmon PC+TPU case and an Otterbox defender. I use my phone all day every day for work and switch my batteries out so I use the Fosmon for everyday work use. It comes off easily and protects the phone from everyday use and is cheap as hell. The clear back is flexible and the grips on the side even more so and hold well so far. You can see through the back if you have white you can see the Samsung S3 logo. The Otterbox is when I finally get the hell out of my house, and it does the job but is a pain in the ass to change batteries compared to the Fosmon. There are plenty of reviews of the Defender so you dont need to hear my 2 cents. I opted to spend more on a beefy case with cheap one for every day, it suites what I need very well and if the Fosmon ats $5.88 lasts 6 months I'll be happy.
Debating between these two cases. anyone have/ had both and and prefer one over the other?
stock. sprint sgs3
Edit.. ive read the reviews and all the threads. Just looking for dirrect comparison off the two
I have the candy shell and oh man do i love this case. Makes it feel solid and really good in your hands. I highly recommend it but i have not tried the other case. Im not afraid to drop it and when i have it has help up great!
Thanks
stock. sprint sgs3
Never had candyshell but the new versions of the uag are nice! Im really liking the new tpu material they are using.
Sent from my Galaxy S3 using neighbors wifi
I'm also looking at both of these too but I have to buy them over from the US seeing as no stores here stocking them
I owned the Candyshell and it was a good case overall. Solid, but more importantly for me was the awesome tactility the buttons had.
One problem was the black version of the Candyshell looked like crap after about a month, and that is no exaggeration. It scratched up REALLY easy...
Bugger and I wanted a black one too
I was waitting for Element to make a decent case out of those awesome materials they use but then they released a case out of TPU and I've waited far too long.
Looks like UAG it is
Did you consider the following alternative?
acase supperlegera pro dual layer case
Looks good, feel great and protects very nice. It's the one I have. Please read some reviews.
If it is between those two, I'd pick the puregear dualtek. It's 1 piece and very solid, and the white version doesn't get dirty like some white cases I've used.
i have both and the Speck crack on me for the 1st time taking it out the phone to switch to the UAG case, what a waste of money
Let me say this my uag has protected my phone from multiple drops from various heights and has handled my 270 pound friend trampling over it lol I recommend uag all day to people with gs3.

+1. Best. Case. PERIOD.
UAG is the best case I've ever owned in terms of durability to size. I've had cases that offer better protection but that extra protection came at the cost of greatly increased thickness.

Let me email then and see what type of reply i get but I can safely say the UAG case is the best case out so far the Galaxy S3, that case can take the beating while keeping the phone slim and
protected :good:
Its crazy that i just got my UAG case a week ago after reading reviews online but i never thought about looking here. To the OP....you make a good choice with the UAG. Hope you love yours as much as I love mine.

Like a couple of others above me, I have both the Candyshell and UAG cases (2 of the UAG, actually...black and slate blue). I loved the Candyshell and used it for about a month before it just started looking awful (I knew this would happen, though, since I'd had them on my iPhones in the past). Plus, I started getting cracks around the volume rocker and power buttons.
I decided to move to the UAG based on the glowing reviews here. I can say, without hesitation, that the UAG is the best case I've ever had on any phone, period. It will take a beating and still come out looking great and it strikes the perfect balance between protection, looks, and bulk (or lack thereof).
I can't recommend it enough. You won't be disappointed if you get one.
Love my slate blue UAG case.
Got an S4 for the wife and she drops phones so she needs a good case. Going through the S4 forum many people liked UAG and from the pics I hated it, but it had a lot of good reviews and many liked it better than the OB Commuter (which she has on her SII).
So I bit the bullet and ordered it from Amazon with Prime shipping, got it yesterday and I am amazed on how it looks and feels. Very jealous that she has this case on her phone now because it really does just fit perfect.
I also ordered a Spigen slim armor for my N5 at the same time and I have it on my phone for a day, it is ok but nothing special. I have been using the official Google case and LG flip case for a while but returned them for quality reasons. The Spigen is not much smaller than how the official Google case fits, I was expecting it to feel slightly smaller. I really cannot find the right case for my N5, I suspect it is because of the shape of our phone.
If UAG makes a case for any other phone you use, I recommend trying them out.

The Nexus 5 exists.
Aside from that, focus on talking about the UAG case and not hijacking it!
The UAG looks sweet!
I completely agree, I had a UAG case for my Note 2 and I loved it. I'd get one for the N5 in a heartbeat if it was available.
I either emailed them or used a contact form on their site, can't remember which, a while ago and got no response.
I have to agree. I had it on my s4 and it was the best case I ever used. Stylish yet very sturdy and protective.

UAG makes hands down the best cases. I had one for my iPhone 5 and for my HTC One. I also bought one for every one of my coworkers last year. I wrote a review of the case for the One back before they were so popular and they still have it on the main page of their site. Pretty neat, IMO. I've been nagging them regularly to make a case for both the Moto X and the Nexus 5. Nothing would make me happier to have a UAG for at least one of my phones.
Yeah I agree. I bought the UAG casing for my HTC One and it's hands down the best phone casing that I have used yet. Hope that they release a N5 version too.
I prefer the toughcase, better grip and protection, slightly less bulk. Agree that either is better than the Otterbox, frankly I think Otterbox is getting out Otterboxed by several competitors nowadays. People who like the UAG cases might do well to check out the Dilex, not as good as either in my opinion but pretty close and probably the best case of the type out now. And another that is better than a commuter IMO.
