I currently have a TPU s-line case that I bought a couple of months ago. Its been really good but now its kind of stretching out and not feeling tight on the device like it used to. I bought it for like 5 bucks so overall happy with what I paid for. Now im looking for something with a bit more quality and better looking. Any good recommendations? Can be tpu, gel, hard case doesnt matter. Anything except thick cases like an otterbox. Could you please just link case and pro/cons and possibly pics Thanks.
Bro i'm using The Otterbox commuter series my Sprint representative told me that they were the "Micheal Jordan" of phone cases, & It has triple layer protection & it comes with a nice screen protector, My phone feels like the terminator now. & i ****ing love it. about $30.00 to $35.00 bucks for the case combo but it will be well worth the money trust me.
When you have time, would you mind sharing a few pics? I want to see how thick the phone is with it? Thank for your input, price has dropped so there a bit cheaper now.
Go ballistic about 15-18 bucks amazon

I use a Trident Aegis. Got it for $17 on Amazon. I like that part of the rubber sticks out the back, gives a little more grip on the phone than the Otterbox Commuter does.
My Trident Aegis saved my phone over the weekend. Had it up on a shelf streaming Pandora while cleaning garage then I accidentally knocked it off. I saw in slow motion as the phone headed towards the ground. Luckily it hit on a corner bumper and bounced and landed face down. No problems or scratches from a 6 foot drop.
Thanks for the input guys.

Trident Aegis is boss.
that is all
I'm using the Otterbox Defender series. It's very bulky, but imo it's one of the best cases in terms of protection. I asked the sprint guy what the best case was and without missing a beat he grabbed his epic in the defender and threw it across the sales floor. It scared me to death when he threw it lol. But he sold me on it right there.
Trident Aegis hands down. I used to have the same case you did, but I decided to get something with a little more protection. Never looked back.

What he (and they) said! I did a bunch of research on cases before I bought mine, and ended up with the Trident Aegis. I wanted something that didn't add too much bulk but provided good enough protection for moderate distance drops--and the TA is it! It's also a very nice looking case, and fits very snug. My 1 year old son loves phones, and he pulls my girlfriend's iphone case off every time he plays with it--but even though he tries and ties, he has yet to pull mine off =) I highly recommend it.
OK guys I went ahead and went with a Trident Aegis that should be here by Friday. Offers more protection than a TPU case but doesn't add too much thickness. Thanks for the input guys, appreciate it.

I'm quite fond of the Otterbox Commuter cases. I don't like the one I have for this phone as much as I liked the Galaxy Nexus case, but I have no complaints.
It's a nice, snug fit and the material on the back is a really slick, textured, hard plastic that allows it to slide in and out of your pockets without catching. PICTURE

I just got the Otter Box defender last week. They aren't too thick. With as thin as this phone is, the case makes it more normal. Doesn't add much weight either. It was 39 at Best Buy. I seen them on Amazon for roughly the same after shipping. Looks good too, not like the trident cases with the ugly bumps on the corners.
I looked at the otterbox commuter series as well.. it doesn't have the mesh covers for the microphone and speakerphone which is a big plus for the Aegis since I always have my phone in my pocket.
Also, the Trident Aegis doesn't have bumps on the corners.. it is completely uniform all the way around the phone.. it may look like there are bumps in pictures, but that's just because of the slight two-tone color from the two piece design. I think it looks nicer than the Otterbox Commuter, but that's just personal preference =)

I have the Trident case.
The good:
-great protection
-very well built
-durable
-nice features (dust filters, covers, etc)
The Bad:
-Silicone cover is a doghair/dust/dirt mgnet
-the protective clear cover scratches easily
-touchscreen edge typing difficult (the case goes to the edge of the touchscreen glass)
-microusb cover hard to accress (same goes for 3.5mm plug)

I also have the same combination as you. Case mate toughcase + realook screen protector, and I can say that I am very satisfied with them.
I know there are some trade-offs between protection and slimness, but I can live with a little bit thicker if I can forget about dropping my vibrant.
i use a real cheap 5 dollar case i got on ebay. it works great. the only issue i have had with it is that it broke after the 5th fall. i put some tape on the edges and it works great. it adds bulk but not much. i tried a silicone hard back cover but the slicone was crap.my case protects and looks ok. its black matt. and adds some grip. i find the cheapo ebay cases work just as well as the name brand ones.
ps. remote droid is great. i feel like a king.
I was told my trident case was being shipped friday.. Still haven't received it just yet.. But I'm so anxious!

Thanks for this, just ordered mine....
good **** de31
just ordered my hard-case.
got mine and love it, ads a little bulk but it looks good, better in person than in the pictures in my opinion, and makes the phone feel so much more solid.
So, Ordered the Casemate on Dec. 21, and received it this morning (23rd).
Love this case. I had been using the rubber case from Tmobile but wanted something with more protection and easier to get out of my pocket.
The only, I mean "ONLY" complaint thus far is that the screen protector I received with my case is for the UK VERSION i9000.. (has the hole at the bottom for the pad area). I may fire off an email and see if they will correct this but I haven't used a screen protector yet with this phone so its not really a priority.
Pro: Fast shipping, Good looking, Tough and at a Great price (Thanks again de31 for the 30% gift code).
Con:.......eh
Unfortunately all they have are the i9000 screen protectors, it said so last I checked on the site

Late to party yall, but I've had Trident's Cyclops case since Thanksgiving & still absolutely love it.
I mostly agree with the above points, but:
1. No scratches here.
2. Zero difficulty accessing ports.
Case DOES impede on the extreme screen margins, which is maddening until you get used to it.
Now, no longer an issue.
Also, bulk feels amazingly addictive. I have an Incipio Feather (nice for an ultrathin) as well, but it no longer feels right in my hand.
Nero 4 ... (j/k for now)
trident here, agree with review but all in all it's great case. i used to always drop my phone w/out a case and didnt think i needed 1 because of gorilla glass. but then it fell on a rock and screen was def cracked but still functional. now that i have trident i rarely drop phone because the case adds bulk, and it isn't nearly as slippery. it's def annoying sometimes when you cant access edges of screen but you get used to it and can get it working (just do it slower). i was always a fan of cheap $5 cases but after a while they always fall apart. trident was $25 on ebay and i would buy another if ever necssary.
What about this one:
http://www.otterbox.com/samsung-vibrant-cases/samsung-vibrant-cases,default,sc.html
otterbox was recently released. i don't have any experience w/them. just looking at it tho i would still stick with trident mainly because of the lip above the camera, makes breaking lens extremely difficult

I just got the E4GT two days ago, and now I'm looking for a case. I'm trying to decide between the Otterbox Defender and the Trident Kraken. Any opinions on either of them, or know of any better cases?

Pretty sure they don't make the Kraken for the E4GT. I could be wrong though. Both are companies that make very solid cases. Either one will protect your device beyond what you will need.

I have the Trident Aegis Case and i've looked into the the otterbox. I love the Trident because of the dust covers over the mic and speaker so you don't have to worry about dust getting stuck in there. Plus you can find the Trident case cheaper than the otterbox. Trident case on ebay 19.99 with free shipping and the otterbox case is 34.95 + tax.
i can give you my trident aegis for like 15-20$. put it on for a day and realized im not a case guy lmao

The i believe the ageis is same level of protection as the commuter (34.95), the kraken would be on line with the dedender (49.95).. Right?

Seidio Convert
I ran naked on my Optimus, on my Galaxy, and on my Optimus 2X. Then I dropped my Optimus2x from shoulder height in a parking lot, and the screen shattered. I work for sprint now, so I switched to use my discount, and bought the SGS2-E4GT the day it came out in white. I got the Seidio Convert combo on newegg. It's HUGE. But it comes apart to be a slim case or use the whole thing and have dust covers over the port, the clip seems pretty sturdy. Overall I am pleased with my purchase. It comes with one of those cheap static cling screen protectors, gonna go see if there is a visco-elastic polymer screen protector thread,
I own the trident aegis. Love the case. It offers protection for all the ports and has dust guards on the speaker and mic. The only thing I dislike is the rubber trident logo pops out on the back. No big deal.

Yeah I agree about the Seidio Convert. I had the Evo before my E4gt and had the case on that also. I work at an airport and beat the hell out of my phone but this thing keeps it spotless.

Yes, I too also agree. Convert is beast. Handles every bit of contracting work I do. From falls from roofs. To getting caught on doors. Nothing bothers it, and the saw dust does not get into any ports. And plus when I have a less hazardous environment to be in I can strip it down to just the Surface case; for just that little extra bit of protection.
I have used the Otterbox in the past for other phones and I would have to agree with most in here that the Trident Ageis is almost the same thing as the otterbox commuter, but better, more colors, the dust cover/port covers etc...
After a extensive research I decided to go with the trident case

I received mine in the mail today and it feels gray in my hands it gives it a reassuring grip.
It also comes with a screen protector.I don't think i'm going use it because the phone already has gorilla glass .so I don't really need it right?

I didn't see another thread with this specific topic. Who out there is using a case for their GS3, and what cases are you using? I'm on the fence, am not usually a case user, and I'm not sure which one to buy. Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Also, any pictures and/or links would be appreciated!
i got a case from rockphones. Its really more of a stylish low profile bumper than an encasement
I've been hearing good things about Diztronic cases so I ordered one to try out.
Are the TPU cases supposed to be good shock absorbers?
I picked up a Body Glove today from a local AT&T store. Way overpriced, at $30. But, it is a snug fit, and the whole thing slips into a leather belt-holster nicely.
That being said, I just put on a Zagg HD and am thinking of ordering one of those carbon-fiber stick-ons.
I've got a Rock case on order, just waiting for it to ship. It comes from China so it takes a while to ship but those who have had it said it is very slim and works great with the phone. Definitely not the case to look for if you are looking for protection but I am just looking for something that wont scratch the bottom and protect the camera and screen a little.

Otterbox Commuter here. This thing is so slick and slippery I am going to need to put some duct tape or something on it for grip! The store only had plain ole black so maybe I'll just get a Defender online since I know they're grippier.

it is a great case, just a little thick for me. i'm still on the hunt for a decent hybrid that doesn't add too much bulk. looking to try out the pop case by case mate and go from there. i might end up with a high end TPU, either from incipio or speck. the price difference between those two is very large though (almost 20 bucks ).
I was not using a case and you can tell from the pics I've attached I'm regretting it... I do have insurance, so getting a replacement. In addition, I'm going to try the Case Mate Pop.
As I'm sure someone will ask, the screen shattered by landing perfectly flat (screen first) on tile from a ~3 foot fall. The phone without a case is so thin & slick...
I got 3 - went Red, White and Blue!
Couldn't decide which to get, so got 3 !!
I had a Trident Aegis before for my prior phone, the LG g2x (longest year of my life, loved and HATED that phone, it reset ALL the time, even after SW update!) and it does make it bulkier but is GOOD protection, so I got several levels of protection, looks sleekness, after reading everyone else's input, recommendations etc
Got them all on Amazon (along with more goodies!)

Grab an otterbox commuter. It's protect your phone well and protect your phone from dust too as it has the cover caps. It's only add a little bit bulk..^^

Ordered me an otterbox commuter , Sgp neo hybrid , and Sgp ultra crystal . What is the best screen protector guys ? I been thinking trying to research it but it's confusing . I wanted one to cover the full screen but bought thru phone already so I just got the Sgp ultra clear for now
I currently have a Zagg HD on mine, so far so good. Smooth like glass, unlike their "standard" one which has a plastic feel. Either will work. Have not tried the screen part since I have the Zagg, but I picked up the ArmorShield (supposed to be Zagg eqiv.) and the shield for the rest of the phone is good. Got a good deal on an otterbox so thats going on as well when I get it.
I'm in the same boat as the OP
So many cases around still not sure which one
Here's a few other options as well

Bro, for seidio active case, the soft silicone part will get loose after few week of using especially the top & bottom part. For case-mate tough, my brother using casemate tough case, drop once from 3 feet high, the hard shell break. :crying:
Conclusion, grab a Commuter or Ballistic SG and you can't go wrong with both of these premium case. :good:
I have casemate and OB. Both are great. Just switched back to OB today...its better than the casemate. Close but I will stick.with the OB.

I have the Acase. Originally, I was going to get the speck dual layer case, but I looked at the review from the acase at amazon and it seems better. I also looked at the retail price and its "retail value" seems more, so that's one reason why I got it. So far, great case. Protects both back and side, and front when placing down on a flat table. One time, I accidentally bumped the cellphone on a side of the table and it grazed the case, but no damage to the phone. Glad I have acase on.
From what I saw, the Incipio is pretty similar, so it wouldn't hurt if you get that or the Acase. Just know that the price point is about the same on Amazon, but the retail value is different; The acase is about 40 and the incipio is about 30. I usually choose the higher price, believing that it is the better quality. But that is my bias.
The otterbox commuter or defender are great cases. I have no problems with the defender buttons, the commuter got better after about a week but I wanted the holster the defender came with. I did however take off the screen protector the defender came with. I also tried the Acase like you show above and it is ok but no where near as protective as the otterbox. Oh and the Otterbox Defender is on Amazon for about 29.00.
Trident Kraken has yet to fail me in terms of protection. I drop and toss my phone to demonstrate it for people everyday. Plus they have quite a few different color options.
Only thing that has failed was the belt clip broke. But contacted customer service and I had a new one in 4 days.

Go with the Acase. You can't beat the price and the case is great! Nothing against the other cases, but this case is just as good if not better. Hell, you could get two for the price of some of the other ones. Here's my review when I first made purchased it:

It's still my all around favorite case. You really can't go wrong with this case.
Currently not being productive on my S3.
UAG case for me, I don't have a screen protector but I did have a zagg hd and it was just terrible (actually went through two if them with the same issues). I will be getting a specter glass protector and I'm hoping it will be compatible with my case

I will be doing a review for Cruzerlite's new protection case soon. I will post links.
It competes with the otterbox.

Hated my Otterbox Commuter... didn't look good whatsoever, and the button mashing problem was enough to make me return it after two days of use (I know it "gets better" after use, but when you pay any amount of money, it should work out of the box).
Went to the Speck Candyshell and I love it (its dual layer as well).

By design. Impact hits and the outer hard shell breaks apart to absorb most of the impact. Then the case can tumble on the ground with the polycarbonate case with very light impact.

i need a bombproof case for my SGS3 i have read alot of the case reviews on here and i am just over whelmed by the case options and was wondering what the community here can give me some advice on picking a case any help would be great
The Otterbox Defender is probably the most protective case on the market.
I just ordered a Urban Armor Gear case off eBay. There was one for $29.95 or best offer so I threw in $22 and it accepted! Free shipping too. Great deal.
I'm currently using the free ZooGue case ($4 shipping) and it's been pretty good for a TPU case. I just wanted something a bit more protective.

I second this. Not as bulky as the Defender but looks/feels very protective of the phone.
Trident Kraken,Otterbox Defender, a couple different Seidio cases including their new one Obex, puregear dualtek.

does anyone have experiance with the SAMSUNG GALAXY S III BALLISTIC SHELL GEL (SG) SERIES CASE
I have the Ballistic SG MAX, and it is by far the most protective case I've ever used. The screen guard is replaceable too. Also, the belt clip is awesome.

Otterbox defender + ifeel glass
I use the otterbox commuter and the ifeel screen protector.
It is thinner than the defender and its easier to remove the case during an over heat plus it leaves the screen protector in place.
Edit: just bad speling

I've used Otterbox Defender since I bought the SGS3. Picked up the Seidio OBEX case today. I have complete confidence in the otterbox but really liked the idea of waterproof case. Still not sure about the OBEX just yet but seems like a very good solid well built case. Performed the waterproof test and it's lived up to the claims.

That looks as tough as UAG's so i'd go for a UAG (better looking to me). Pure is probably cheaper though.
But he wants something tougher than that one i think, so it's not the same grade of cases. Look for otterbox defender or Trident Kraken. Kraken has lots of videos official and third party on youtube vouching for it's toughness.
I'm using a UAG at the moment and although extremly satisfied, i may still get a kraken just because how tough they seem for heavier duty.
Check out the 15 pound anchor one, this kind of impressed me. They also have a splash test (they throw a bucket of water on it), throw a phone off the roof of a building crashing hard on solid concrete, kick one around, etc. Reckon anything short of that nuclear explosion and they've tested it. Phone survives everytime, of course.

The Puregear Dualtek is waaay tougher than a UAG case. I have both. My fingers hurt after removing the Dualtek case.

I can't judge the UAG because I don't own one, but I do own a otterbox defender and the Dualtek. I can confidently say this this case protects just as well as the defender just in a slimmer package. I have purposely dropped the phone on asphalt and concrete to see how it holds up and the phone and the case are fine. There's a video on YouTube of a guy throwing the dualtek from a 20 foot roof on to solid concrete and the phone just bounces around a few times and that's it. This is a very solid case and though it may not look it, it is very rugged.

I have the ballistic. Feels pretty protective
I have the otter box defender love the protection it gives. Have dropped many times and held up very well it does add bulk but keeps my phone safe and protected
Been using the Ballistic Max with it's screen protector for about three weeks. One fall from belt to floor without issue. The real test is falling face down on gravel, the Gorilla glass by itself will not take that as I found out. Not sure what screen protector will take a belt to gravel hit?
