My hood is carbon fiber, as is my trunk lid. Run your hands across it, and you can't feel the weave because of the coating that's on it. I haven't seen the case, but I wonder if it's like this?

It's just plastic. And the high price comes because of the kick stand

I road race motorcycles and its understandable that carbon fiber on vehicles ha a coat on it because of rock chips and stuff. My race bike has plenty of carbon fiber on it but has a coat on it because of rock chips sand and tiny debris that might hit. The case though not carbon fiber is a damn good knock off.....

You did say it was real carbon fiber, and there were other nards who knew nothing of the subject who wanted to chime in and say it was real and felt real.
We just want to let you know it is not real and nowhere near the real thing.

Kind of like how stunting is not real riding? Go do a track day son. Kidding its takes a little skill.
Have you ever felt un molded carbon fiber? just a sheet?
Probably not that why you say its not close
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

Jesus. Two pages of crap.
Let me clarify.
The case IS NOT carbon fiber. Its hard plastic. It is not very thick and its a pretty sweet little case IMO. It maintains a very sleek profile for as thin of a phone as it is attached to and helps to hold while doing whatever.
Its a great buy IMO and I WOULD purchase again.

they just released A case/belt clip combo for $29.99. i need to check it out. i heard its a great case

Ha, not a stunter, just the occasional standup at the dedicated stunt lot.
I am in AET 378 (Composites class) Right now and I actually just got done doing a carbon fiber layup... The fake fiber on that case is far too large, its molded and its not even a composite.. its just plastic. My roommate has the case. Its not a bad case its just a little thick for my liking. Maybe in a couple weeks I was going to make a real carbon fiber case for my phone so it would be a little thinner. I just gotta check and see if the plastic on the phone is compatible with the epoxy resin that I will be using.

To answer the OP's question: no there is no holster case out yet that will fit the phone with the case on it. The case although thin still makes the phone too thick for the holster cases.
PS: not an expert or road racer, but im pretty sure its not real carbon fiber.

Sorry bro didn't mean to offend you in any way. Was not insulting you or your taste. It was my personal opinion of the case. The back of the case looks very unpleasant and uncomfortable in pocket. I do really appreciate the fact you purchased a product, took pictures of it, and gave your opinion of it for the community. It really does help with accessories selction. I'm going to do the same when I buy a case for mine.

Whoa. That's a hard case to swallow. Although I do have a case on my GS2, I do so reluctantly. A big part of the purchase of any of my phones are the looks. This case looks a bit overbearing for my tastes although I'm sure gives great protection.

yeah.. Is a little big.. Im a CCTV Tech. always on the move, My nexus S 4G just crack with a more stylish case that this time i wanted a more protective option.
The point is that for the $12.00 I paid this copy or whatever brand this is is not a bad option.
Would love the flip stylish one. This is a beauty of phone but avoiding any falls is the least i would want to worry with this haha.

Work Case

Hi
Im working within Construction and my brand new s3 is screaming for protection.
I have been lookin around for some "Work" cases. I have found otterbox defender, but its just pre order and i need a good case right now.
Is there something like otterbox defender for about the same price or lower that is better?
Are There any BIG pouches like krussel has that fits the s3 AND a normal case (NOT work case) ?
Regards
Hooterz

You can purchase the Defender from Amazon, now. The commuter is also a good option.
Maybe this too:

If you're from the US do check out www.pure-gear.com too. Some of their cases look like they can survive through a Nuclear Apocalypse.

The ballistic sg maxx is a nice case and the plastic screen cover fits much tighter to the screen than the otterbox. Still it will let dust in though and it makes the screen look like crap. I took mine off snd have an hd screen protector on it.
Also ordered a pure gear 260 case so well see how that one is.

I'm in the UK myself but would be interested in the Pure Gear cases. I sent them an e-mail to see if they have any resellers or distributors in the UK or anywhere else in Europe but as yet no reply.

check ebay for pure gear there is one of the 360s on there now, i think i am gonna pick one up

And it's only 30 on eBay too and ships outside us

Cibo Case,
http://tinyurl.com/a89v4kb
I got this case in clear. it's been awesome. the sides have this grippy texture that makes it tougher to slip out of your hands. i've dropped my phone countless times so far onto concrete & the floor and the case saved it from scratches on the display or sides each time. another great thing is the case doesn't add that much to the overall thickness.

Aluminum Bumper

Most cases are made of some weird rubber, either they feel cheap or they get stuck in the jeanspocket.
Some cases look great but they always tend to build so much bulk..
Has anyone tried an alu bumper like this one? Looks great atleast..

With battery cases like this. You will lose a bar or two on cell phone reception as well as wireless. This was the case for the Galaxy S4. I believe you will lose the function of NFC as well.

How protective are aluminum cases though? I feel like TPU/plastic combos would probably protect the best since it absorbs shock better than metal.

Thought they had a $5 off coupon....

Why does that one bottom corner stick out like that? I'm guessing that's how the case clamps together. Seems like it wouldn't feel very nice.

Yeah not bad, but I'm not a fan of Florida sticking out of the corner there. Always making a mess of things!
Also with it being an Aluminum bumper, I'm pretty sure it's aesthetics only. That's a relatively soft metal, especially with how thin is looks. Any real bump and it will probably dent/scratch easily. It's like using a thicker version of the HTC One as a protective case.

I am holding off as well. Even with the screws, not sure if it'd fit in my Seidio holster without scuffing the crap out of it. However whenever I visit this thread and look online at the pics, it seems unbalanced to me because of the screws.

Waiting for feedback on the aluminum bumper. I'm interested to find out if the bumper keep the back of the phone off of surfaces. It looks like it wouldn't protect the back of the phone at all.
