Has anyone purchased this cover, and did it add any bulk?
Thx

I agree, I've been waiting to order this one.

............

Thanks!
I just ordered this case, gotta say been having a real tough time trying to find a quality case for this phone, probably more trouble than have ever had trying to find a case. I mean seriously there is some real crap cases out there. Eh, whatever really hope this is what I've been looking for...fingers crossed!

Mine just arrived today and the case is very slim similar to the snap on cases but the two pieces combine so sesmlessly that it is definitely a step above similar cases, the carbon fiber look is painted on and the unit has a soft touch finish similar to the back of an evo 4g

it gives it more protection than a silicone case but not as much as an otterbox or tough case, it seems like it would protect it from a moderate fall impact, it also adds minimal bulk, not quite as slim a a barely there case but it is close. it seems to be a very high quality case as far as fitment goes

here are a couple

one more for you, hope this helps

Just so you umderstand my obsession about cases I have a tpu grey case, one of those mesh cases in black, a body glove rubber case, a case mate tough case, and out of all them, I think I use the tough case when I feel like I need maximum protection and this case the rest of the time.

Ghost Armor Carbon Fiber Review

Ordered the Ghost Armor Carbon Fiber skin on Tuesday and it was just delivered today. I ran over to the kiosk here in my local mall and had the guy there install it since I'm all thumbs when it comes to this.
First impressions:
Carbon Fiber feels great and adds pretty much no bulk. The screen protector is great, Ive used Ghost Armor on most of my electronic screens and this one is no different from the others. Ghost Armor is a wet application, but has NO orange peel like other wet application protectors. Being day 1 there is a slight haze, but this typically goes away after a few days.
The battery cover has 1 cutout for the "Samsung" logo. I would assume this would line up perfectly assuming you have the standard battery door. I am using the extended battery and door so the cutout was slightly off. The guy at the kiosk enlarged the cutout so it appeared correct.
On to the pictures:

Hi! great review! But can you take more macro shots of the front screen protector with different angles? Thanks!

That looks pretty sweet, do they sell them directly at the kiosks or do you have to order them ?

i loved the look and feel of my ghost armor screen protector that i had on my droid x but it did really funny things when you looked at it with polarized sunglasses on and i finally had to strip it.

What color is that? gun metal?
FYI guys they currently have a 30% of promo right now the code is lm30

Thanks for the code. I'll soon see how the phone will look with black carbon fiber =D

I've never used anything like this on a phone, (always used a case) but I love the idea of the slim fit/no bulk. Also, this looks pretty tough.
Whats it like putting these on? PITA? Not bad?
EDIT: Just ordered one, thanks for review/pics, and also the code. Lets hope its not an epic ordeal to install.

[Q] Case for GS3 (good grips and not bulky)

Hi, I have tried the following cases. I find them to be either too bulky/ slippery/ no grips to it.
Spigen - Neo Hybrid
Seidio - Seidio Active
Ballistic - Ballistic Shell Gel
Casemate - Case Mate Pop Case
Can you guys please recommend me something else thanks.
PS: I don't fancy otterbox as its too bulky.

O.P specifically mentioned NO OTTERBOX cases. Not everyone wants a case the equivalent of a weapon.

If you want grip and slim go for DBA Thin Grip. Not so expensive either. Look at the thread here on xda.

the armor case look awesome !! Thanks.

I have the seidio surface case...and I jus dropped it today from waste level on a concrete surface and let me tell you I was scared to look at my screen when I turned it over...cause the drop sounded nasty...I cursed in front of my 7 year old daughter...but to my astonishment the phone was fully intact and not a single mark on the phone...case took quite a beating though...
IMO...this is the best case and by far not as bulky as its bigger sibling the Active Case...so if you want little to no bulk and still offering great protection...I will stand by the Seidio Surface Case all the way...

Yes, I agree with this.

I have been using this for long time. Absolutely no complains. Class quality, great price and protects very well. The fit is awesome and it not at all bulky

Good thing is it comes in various color to suit everyone's taste.

I am using this case : http://www.amazon.com/CrazyOnDigital-GUARDIAN-Samsung-T-Mobile-Verizon/dp/B005ZG04Q4/

I highly recommend the Cruzerlite Clone Army for an inexpensive, slim, good looking, and grippy case.

Spigen also seems to have released a clear bordered version of their Ultra Hybrid. I'll want to see theses pictures for sure, and how it feels in hand / what material they use for it.

Nice
Looks a great cover. I bought the standard fusion in black, but this one seems great in showing off the sides of the phone. But, I am worried that the side body of the cover will also get scratchy just like the back after a while..
Here, the black side body wins for me.. :good:

buttons are pretty awesome on this case. I like it, but ordered knock off Google bumper that should get here soon. I'm not really into the clear hard plastic backs. Feels very light and thin though for a good amount of protection.
For reference I've had:
Spigen ultra slim
Quick sand
Beetle case
Diztronic matte
Cruzerlite
Nillkin
I like this one the best I think. Nillkin is pretty sleek though..

Very true

As slim case as possible?

Looking for a case/bumper that's as low profile as possible, I don't want my phone to turn into a big brick. There are probably threads like this before but I don't feel like searching today!

I would say that you are looking for the LG Snap-On hardshell, I mean the official on. There are two threads in the forum with reviews and pictures.
I've bought the black one, it's just amazing, it's like it's not even there.

The LG Hardshell is pretty much the most minimal case you can get. Super thin and extremely low profile. There's some pros and cons to that, but if that's what you're looking for, nothing else compares to it.
I did a review here, with a bunch of pictures: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2643884
There's also a large discussion thread here (probably need to skip a bunch of pages to get to people who have it): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2548058
But my personal recommendation? The Quicksand cases!! See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2577289

You can't get more minimal case than the LG hardshell and the black one has the same soft touch as the N5. It's awesome the phone feel naked.

Try the Bear Motion shells on Amazon for 4.99. I have the sand and smooth version and both are awesome. You can also find generic one on eBay for 99 cents. Same thing.

Don't get those ones, they're quite crap. The 0.3mm TPU cases aren't the normal TPU you would think they are either. They are more like file folder plastic.
I bought a bunch of them, and this is basically how I summed it up.
And comparing it to a plastic file folder.

i know, exactly what i want, ultra slim protection for my pocket, my phone don't touch the floor

I got this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EV8Y50S/ref=oh_details_o06_s00_i03?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It has pretty much the same texture that the phone has (which I wanted). It's a harder snap on case, but it is thin. My only complaint is when it was new, I would hold my phone with the case resting on my pinky finger (if that makes sense) and it was a little sharp. But now after using it, I dont notice it anymore.

I won't deny that, they are very slim. But they are also extremely cheap, flimsy, and low quality. You'll see when you get it.

Bear motion sand case is the slimest hasn't scratched phone either
