Any new cases coming from popular brands?

So, is there any new cases coming out from popular brands other than Otterbox?

I used this one from swiss army and it fits the captivate perfectly.

))) I meant Popular Brands that make Quality Cases... Like Speck, Otterbox and others...

Yeah... I really wish Speck made cases for the Captivate.

BUMP! May be something new coming up?

otterbox released their impact series case.. but no defender as of yet

Incipio just came out with a case for the captivate. I have one of their hard cases for my Zune HD and am very happy with the quality. I'm tempted to pick up one for my Captivate. Right now I'm using an Invisibleshield but wouldn't mind a little more protection.

I just got the Otterbox Impact case for the Captivate not ten minutes ago in the mail. Shipping was ok, I ordered it last Thursday. Seems really solid and thick enough that it could take a decent impact or drop. I like it so far but the increase in size will have to grow on me. It's not a ridiculous increase, puts it about to the size of a 3GS iPhone really. Other than that it comes with a screen protector and has a good feel in your hands. I got it for right under $18.00 with shipping using the coupon code "tb1010y".

Check this and this. These look pretty solid, and are very reasonably-priced!

Bought this case in the mall at a kiosk.

1. That design, barely visible. It's actually A LOT darker case. Especially when on the phone.
2. It's thick flexible plastic. Hard Gel-like. Not a rubber skin that gets caught up in your pocket.
3. It's the exact same shape as the phone. A true "skin'.
4. Light. Adds almost no additional weight to the phone.

I have that same case, only in green. I agree with your assessments, it really is a great case. I am curious about the Otterbox cases though, have never used them before.

It looks like an Amzer Argyle TPU case.

IDK about the first one, but the snap on case isn't that good. I have the black version. The snaps are broken in several spots, the case opens itself when dropped (what good is that?), and occasionally when pulling out of my pocket the case is literally falling off.
YMMV, but if I had to do it again, I'd avoid the Amzer rubberized snap on case at all costs.

Body Glove TPU case is all you need.

Hybrid (TPU & Silicone) case for $2 on ebay

This is my short review of some cheap $2 hybrid cases that I purchased from ebay. I'm using the GSM Galaxy Nexus and the fit is good and tight. They can be purchased here and from other sellers on ebay. I'm not affiliated with these sellers in any way. The case is a HYBRID case as it's made by thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) and silicone material. It's more flexible than traditional hard cases made of polycarbonate (PC), yet it retains its shape better then soft rubber silicone cases. It gives full protection (top and bottom) unlike some other cases. You can access all of the buttons and ports easily. For the price, I think that these cases are pretty much unbeatable. I've used hard cases and full silicone cases on other phones before, but I never liked them. This is the perfect combination in my opinion. Hard cases are nice, but they don't offer much impact protection if you drop your phone and they tend to break easily. Silicone cases offers the best protection, but they are bulky and don't fit very snugly around the phone. Also, silicone cases are very flexible therefore they can slip off of the phone very easily. Hybrid cases offer much of the impact protection of silicone cases, but also the thinness and the snug fit of hard TPU cases. In my opinion, hybrid cases offers a great compromise between the two extremes.
Here is a short youtube video I made to give you a general overview of these cases. 1080p available as well.
Here are some photos that I took:

Nice find, bought a white one

Recieved it, i put my otterbox commuter hardshell over it and it looks amazing!!

Best Cases, I have white, grey and black. I think white looks the best though

I may be necroposting but I have to post here and say that this is the best "cheap" case I bought so far off of eBay. This case fits tight and offers a very slim profile.
For less than $2, you really have nothing to lose and it fits perfectly as well. I got fed up with my previous cases because of the bulk and issues with feeling, so I ended up just not using any case. This is my daily driver as far as cases go.

Here are the black and blue covers that I just received.

Wow wish I found this thread earlier. I've been looking for a white tpu case for a while. These are dirt cheap also!
Thanks a lot buddy!

Is that black or charcoal? I just ordered a black one and was hoping it would be a bit darker than that.

Otterbox Commuter vs. Spigen SPG Neo Hybrid Lumi...?

Hi there fellows,
After reading a lot about S3's broken screens, I have decided to buy a case for my S3. I am confused between Otterbox commuter and SGP neo hybrid lumi.
I want the case to be shock absorbent and protect my phone from accidental drops as much as possible. I am ok with aesthetics of both (neo does look better though). I have seen pix of commuter and got the feeling that its boundary is too thick at the top and bottom to attend a call or press the home button properly. Is that so?
While SGP's boundary doesn't seem that thick, it doesn't seem to offer the solid protection of commuter overall.
So kindly guide me that does SGP offer same level of protection as offered by Commuter or not?
Thanks.

They are two different types of cases. The Commuter has a hard shell and is bulkier. The Spigen is very thin. Not paper thin, but it's minimal. A lot of people prefer that.
I hate how the Commuter covers all the ports. I prefer the Neo Hybrid by far.

It depends what you're looking for. If you want great protection, the commuter. If you want style with minimal protection then the neo hybrid. I've owned both n I liked them both

Check out the Ballistic SG and Ballistic LS ,The SG has great protection, but i really like the looks of the new LS, it is made to be slim with corner protection, but I just haven't seen any reviews yet for it on the S3.

THe Sg looks pretty good
theres a ton of copy cases on ebay too, but i dunno how those are.
Body Glove Dropsuit looks pretty good too http://www.amazon.com/Body-Glove-Rugged-Samsung-9284901/dp/B008J2V3KW/ref=pd_cp_cps_0
Im also thinking about buying a new case with a little more protection. I just got a cheap silicone case and feel that won't be enough.. My screen already cracked in the bottom corner from sliding out my pocket the 2nd day I had it (when i already had that cheap case on order).

ok thanks guys. Looks like commuter is better for protection.
One more thing. How does the screen protector that comes with commuter perform against sgp ultra nano clear/optics?

The Ultra Nano in my experience is better than the otter box one but the otter box screen protector isn't so bad

I've got the Trident Ageis (black) case for my S3. IMHO Trident makes a case equal in quality and function to Otterbox but for nearly half the price. I grabbed mine off the big book site for $17. I especially like how the silicone sticks out a bit on the back so it doesn't slide off of smooth surfaces as easy.

trying to find the ultimate case.

am trying to get the best protection . for my GS3 . i had the obex great protection but made my phone sound like ****. looking at the griffin, box ballistic HC which i had on my EVO. or maybr wait for the lifebox?

I'm a huge fan of the casemate phantom.

Ive heard u can take off the "membrane" covering the speaker on the obex case
Sent from my Galaxy S3 using neighbors wifi

Try out the otterbox or Kayscase. Otterbox has more protection, larger and more expensive while kayscase makes ones that are slimmer and cheaper.

The Griffin Survivor suffers from some sounds issues. I took the membrane out over the speaker, problem solved.
Other then that it's a great case, I gladly demo the drop protection by throwing and dropping for the heck of it.

if you're looking for a protective case with delicate design, a good try on DSstyles. The cases from them work well for my S3 so far.

I like the Diztronics one the best.

Otterbox Defender
I really like my otterbox defender. Very sturdy skeleton includes a durable screen protector similar to like gumdrop cases and shock absorber for the back. the rubber outside is nice to grip and its not the silicone stuff that attracts dust and hair like some do. a little pricey but worth it if you're clumsy like me. also comes in dozens of colors.

SPIGEN have a nice case for S3, little pricey tho

TPU case without smooth sides?

I just got a Verizon G3 last week and love it so far, but I'm looking for a specific type of TPU case. I received my Diztronic case today, but it's way too slippery. I'd like a case like the ZooGue case I had on my S III, one with ribbed/ridged sides to prevent it from sliding out of my hand. Does anyone know of a good quality TPU case like this? Failing that, what are some TPU cases with good grip? I'd still like something have provides good protection, but I don't want it to add too much bulk.
I've seen the Cruzerlite Bugdroid posted, but it appears to be more of a gel/transparent case and it also has smooth sides. I also found the Spigen Ultra Fit that boasts an anti-slip feel, but I don't like the fact that the top and bottom are open.
Thanks!

The cruzerlite cases are made of the same material as the diztronics, its just slightly thinner. But as you said, it does appear to be smooth on the sides.
This case might be more what you're looking for. They are super thin, and have a textured side for grip. I have the smoke and clear and they feel great.

Thanks for your reply. I might end up going with the Bugdroid then. I had (several) S-Line cases on my Thunderbolt, they are garbage. They split and fell apart every few months, but they kept sending me replacements.
This is what I'm looking for, something with sides like this (but for the G3 and black):

Thanks, I actually saw that when I was looking around. I had several S-Line cases on my Thunderbolt, they were terrible quality. The seam split after a few months and they kept sending me replacements.

Oh ok, all the ones I have had have been fine, I had one on my old s3 for over 2 years with no issue
