Thought I'd post this up; I bought this off ebay for £2.52 which is a bargain, given the product does what it says on the tin and still feels quite robust.

It is about a millimetre thick but it still fits easily in my hand. There are cutouts for all the ports, switches and the pen; but it will still make pressing the buttons marginally harder.
One nice thing I noted was that the cutouts around the USB port and pen are larger than they 'have' to be, so getting the pen out is easy and you can use USB cables with large tips.
I went with this because there was another cheap case with a stand but people complained that the leg didn't feel strong on that one. This one however, feels quite strong. Double hinged and on a rail, the leg feels quite premium and will lock at 4 different angles.
I think this is also the same thing;

But I got mine off ebay here (I like this seller because he sent it in a bubble envelope and wrapped it in bubble wrap bags 4 times over). [More pics at the ebay listing]

I bought this so I could protect my phone a little and watch movies when I'm on a plane. I think it will serve me well.

Anyone know a bag which has enough room to hold an s3 with a mumi tpu skin case? I really need the skin case because at work and at home I want to see the phone and especially the notification led, but to carry it I want some good protection against dust and dirt. A screen protector is not an option for me. Thanks for any hints and pointers!
I was just thinking about this after i got back from golf and having the phone in the cart it got dusty. I'm probably going to use the cloth bag that you get when you buy a bottle of Crown Royal. It's free and pretty lightweight although i don't know how smooth the insides of those bags are.
Yea something like this would be really handy... It needs to be a snug fit tho. I guess it wouldn't be too hard to make with the right material although surely someone's making something like this already?
Just for completeness I've now got this sleeve. The s3 lurks out about 2mm which I can live with. I finally did apply a scree protector (dipos crystal clear) so I think I'm fine now.

I like to carry my cell phone on my belt for easy access and that was easy with my old phones using something I picked up at Home Depot. Now I have an HTC Sensation 4G and it was WAY too big for my old case so I went shopping on ebay.
Since the phone is long I wanted to switch to a horizontal case because the vertical one I had sometimes got in the way when I sat down.
I found this case and it looked perfect:

It even said my phone would fit! Two weeks later I get the case and it's WAY too small, especially when I put the phone in it's Otterbox case.
If you find yourself in a similar bind the solution is easy ... stretch the leather! You can do it with water but I prefer alcohol since it dries fast and you can repeat the stretching steps quickly.
1) find something that fits in the case.
2) wet the case with alcohol, insert the thing that fits and jam in something next to it, Start small and work your way up.
3) Repeat until your phone fits.
It took me 1/2 hour or so but now my phone slides in easily. I had to stretch the case about 1/2" (13mm).
I may have to repeat this when my new quad core phone comes since it's even bigger.
Bought this one off of eBay for $4.25 shipped. They have numerous colors and they usually go for about what I paid at auction via bid, buy it now for a few more dollars. Search "dual layer hybrid case s3" and you'll find them. Figured I'd give everyone a heads up who like the ballistic style cases because for the price you can't go wrong.
Now to my review... Fits surprisingly well, conforms to the phone tight. Buttons all line up fine, only negative is I had to trim a small amount around the charge port in order to get the charger to fit as snug as stock. As far as protection it looks as if it will do very well. Thick bumpers to protect the edges and a plastic hard case to protect the sides & rear. This case also feels way lighter and makes the phone feel much smaller than my otterbox defender did. Pretty happy with the case for the cost! Anyways here's a few pics.

the best, the shape is perfect because holes are centered. Plug the charger connector without problem.
ordered more different colors.
THE WORST ONE:
overall this is not a bad case but there is a big problem: you can't plug-in the charger when using this cover! the hole is too small to let the connector fully plug-in to the phone. Also the microphone hole is not centered
another model: the tyre
US $2,99
silicone material
this one has a big defect: it grips inside your jeans pocket. That means it makes difficult to get it out! and often the phone comes out from the case.
the Hybrid one with Stand Case
US $5,08
double material, soft/hard
includes caps for external sockets
is not very practical plug-in the battery charger connector
on ebay there is another version cheaper but without' caps
Thanks
Thanks for the pics I know what not to buy
Thanks for the reviews!
Hi all just thought I'd share my experience.
Had this case about a week.
Leather looks good quality with neat stitching.
I do use the phone as a wallet, so we'll see how the card pockets hold up over time.
I did buy a cheaper non leather case that was similar, and it only lasted a few months before the card pockets started breaking.
The phone cradle is nice fit, and the buttons are fully exposed, which is a nicer feel than having to press through a secondary rubber button like on some cradles.
The clasp free magnet works well when using the phone with the cover flipped backwards, although with the cover closed, of you have cards and notes in the pockets it doesnt quite get close enough to engage the magnet, although I've not found this to be a big deal.
The case itself is pretty slim, but adding cards to the pockets bulks it up a bit, not much you can really do about that.
The camera and fingerprint sensor holes on the back are well finished, the fingerprint sensor hole is a little small, but not a big deal as my fingers are relatively slim.
The folding rear section to create a phone stand works well, though probably not a feature I'll really use.
Overall I am happy so far
