Silicone/Gel Cases - Galaxy S III Accessories

I'm a fan of the older silicone/gel case, not TPU. Does anyone know of a good case that's tight fitting and if so post it here.

I'm trying this one out, but won't have my SGS3 until the 32gb ones are available supposedly this coming Wednesday...

I'll post back here once I can give you legit feedback.

Alright sounds good

Otterbox Commuter and Impact in the works.

Here's a quote from a rep about the future of MyTouch 4G cases.
We are currently working on a Commuter and Impact case for this device, but it is still being designed and we don’t have a time table for when it will be ready. I recommend keeping an eye on our website or Facebook page where we will be sure to post more information as soon as it is available. Customer Service finds out about new case releases the moment they are posted to the website.

Does anyone know how the 2 piece tmobile case compares to the otterbox cases
It doesn't compare at all, the mytouch cases feel like they were made from recycled materials I have the body glove you are referring to and the build quality is not like the body gloves for the g2, mytouch slide, or even the motto cliq for that matter

I'm somewhat interested in seeing this case come out for the MT4G. I bought the 2-piece one from T-Mobile, but I would much rather have either an Epik case (loved the one I had for my MT3G) or possibly this one instead. I just sent the company an email asking for an ETA, so hopefully it'll be sooner than later.
cant wait for this!

me too, I'll be getting a commuter as soon as it's available.
I bought a 2 piece case from t-mobile paid 30 for it and I went to take it off to pull the battery and the effing thing broke in half I took back to them and they wouldn't replace the piece of garbage they call a case so don't buy one from them

Trident case

Has anyone tried out the Aegis Series case for the thunderbolt yet?
No but they sure look sweet. I went to their website but didn't see that they were available.

They do look like nice cases. Puts me in mind of the Seidio Active or Otterbox Commuter cases.

Thats a nice looking case. I plan on getting something this week and that is an option.
Wow, that's a sweet looking case. Too bad there isn't one for us extendo's
That website looks like the one I made for freshman year flash... ugh
On another note, that case looks pretty good. The blue is AWFUL... but the black looks sweet.
I just ordered one on monday. It should be here soon. I will post some pictures when I get it in.
I'd have one on the way now too if they offered a holster that works with them. I'd have to get the green, so it'd match my Nook Color Aegis case, lol.
I got one for my Evo when I had that, and it was really cheap rubber. Don't get me wrong, I love what it looks like, it just felt really cheap in-hand.
Mine just came in. Its not bad came with a screen protector but I fail at applying them.
Everything is easily accessible (the power button is easier for me to push now too lol) and protected but I really wish it had a holster .

This thing looks exactly like the Active X case (which I have.) The difference is the Active case is all black but I kinda dig the blue.
and i thought my case mate pop! was sexy...
Aegis
Will the Trident Aegis case fit in the Seido Active Holster?
I plan on getting the red one as soon as it is there to order (pre- order currently).

I ordered a Cyclops series case over the weekend since I didn't want the big Kraken 2 and the idea of the Aegis' having a hard outer shell didn't appeal to me. When I get it I'll throw some pictures up for those interested, I got the red one.
P.S. First post, helpful site and let me root and flash Das Bamf GB sense 3.0 within 3 days of getting my first smartphone.
For those that have gotten it, does the rubber feel really cheap as was mentioned once in the thread? I'm liking the case too, but have kind of had it with cases that look and sound good online but received turns out looking/feeling/being low quality.
Well I actually went with kraken and love it!

Just got my case today, I really like it unfortunately the silicone ripped within 1 minute of having the case on my phone. Its just a small part, thinnest of the case but it holds the usb plug on the phone. I emailed Trident cases about it just now so we'll see how their customer service is. Will post pics shortly.
I used to have a cyclops for my evo, imo out was the best case and I had tons for my evo, otterbox, seido, etc.
And it added a really nice grip to the phone, it wasn't to bulky with lots of protection and didn't feel cheap at all..

Just for reference, the Trident Electra will be released soon. It has a built in extended battery.

Im looking for a nice horizontal holster/case

Stated in the title. I am looking for a nice horizontal leather or something case. I bought a screen protector for mine but I am not a big fan of keeping it in my pocket. I like to have my phone on my side "business like"..lol.
If you run across a nice belt case, let me know please. I saw the legit oem side case at the sprint store. As much as I dont want to, if I don't find something that fits it without all that extra space...I will just pick the oem one up.
The official Verizon Droid X leather holster fits the phone perfect. Even with my TPU case on, its gits great! I have used this case with both my EVO 4G and EVO 3D. Its really a very nice case, other than the price...
Leather horizontal case with belt clip for Epic 4G Touch
before I got my phone, I took a chance on Ebay and ordered one from a merchant named unplugdaily in China that is made for the SG2 i9100. Despite the fact that the D710 is slight larger than i9100, my new E4GT fits. In fact it's a nice snug fit so if the magnetic flap were to open when i dropped the entire case, I don't think the phone would fly out (a very good thing). case with a screen protector was $4.16 including delivery to USA which took about 10 days (pretty fast for China orders). BTW, the screen protector is for the smaller i9100 screen but I put it on my D710, looks OK and there's less than 1/8" space around the edges. On 9/17/11 I found a screen protector for the D710 on Ebay from a merchant in Utah for 99 cents including postage which I ordered.
I just received this one. Nice case.

I'm not sure if that holder is going to work because it seemed tight around the droid x, and cases make it too large to fit.
Still, I hope it does fit. Looks like a nice holder. Please report your results once you get it.

Qmadix makes the one for the Infuse and I'm 99% sure they made the one Sprint sold for the Nexus S 4g. I emailed them but they said they had no plans to make one for the Epic Touch. I'm sure they would if there was more interest. Super nice case/holster IMHO.

Well the case I ordered is actually too big. Im thinking it would be a real snug fit for the phone if I had a TPU case on it. So I am honestly debating if I want to get one or not. I like the thinness and feels like I would lose that if I put a TPU case around it.
Back to the drawing board....anyone want a case?? $5 shipped

Cases for Nitro HD and Optimus LTE

Hey Crew,
So while I'm waiting for my Nitro to turn up, I found a couple of good cases on eBay.
Not a whole lot of choice at the moment, however you can pick up a good-quality TPU in a lot of different colours from this eBay seller (EDIT: These cases have a corner cut-out for the DTV antenna on the Korean Optimus LTE). They're marked for Optimus LTE on the back, but the finish is good and the actualy feel and presentation is excellent. I went for the 'glitter white' and it looks pretty nice!
If you like brand-name stuff, the only thing I could find was a Speck CandyShell from this seller. I went for the white back, black front version. Yet to receive this one.
Post here if you had any more awesome case finds!
Is there really a hole in the upper corner of the case? Besides that, the cases look nice, but I'm not sure why there's a corner missing in the case, as there's no port of any kind at that spot. Does your case also have that exposed corner? Thanks!
I'm getting the Go Ballistic Hard Core. Might not be brand name (maybe it is?) but I'm sure it will do the job. I doubt Otterbox will make something and this looks like the next best thing.

There is. This case was built for the Korean Optimus LTE, which has a TV tuner extenable antenna in that position.

Ballistic is definitely brand-name, and they are awesome. I had one on my Infuse and it was great. They do add an awful lot of bulk and weight, but their protection is unmatched, even by OtterBox.
Nice find!
I bought the body glove case at an at&t store. Fells good n doesn't add any bulk.

I bought like 4 different cases for my Nexus One, after a while (about 5 months) I just didn't like anything and carried it NAKED! Ahhhh, it's good to be free!
I have to admit though, that Ballistic HC case makes the Nitro look MEAN! Like not only am I NOT afraid to drop my phone...But if you mess with me, I'll use it as a projectile to HURT you!
I think I'll look for just a nice neoprene sleeve for my Nitro until I'm comfy enough to carry it NAKED too!
SGP Ultra capsule is available now... ordered a white one.
Man you guys are spoilt with cases. In Australia, we never get SGPs or Specks or Ballistics etc. The fanciest we get is a bloody OtterBox!
I love the SGP for the SGS2, so will definitely grab one for the Nitro.
Sent from my Dell Streak 5 using XDA Premium
When someone gets the SGP ultra capsule, could you let me know if the corner of the phone is really exposed like it shows in the pictures on amazon? I think it's open for the Chinese model which had a tv antenna, but there's no reason for it to be open for the p930, and I KNOW if that corner's out, that's the corner that's going to hit the ground after I drop it on day one =) I just got this black TPU one in the mail from amazon
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006MPH3ZW/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details
I love it. No unnecessary holes and it's a really nice, tight fit. Only comes in black (no pattern, thank god), though. If the SGP ones don't have exposed corners, I'd love to get the white one! =)
I work for ATT and got the ballistic case for free. Its huge. Ginormous.

So I got one of these phones and I've never actually had a "new" phone that just came out. About how long does it take to get some decent cases to choose from in the market?
I just noticed that the SGP cases are TPU as well

They are very good quality. I think they also sport the hole for the DTV antenna, though. I have one for a GS2 though and they're awesome cases!

Yeah, it does have the hole on the right side of the case to support the dtv antenna.
Anybody knows where to get a Speck case for this phone? ATT sells a pink one, but yeaahhh...I'm not gonna test my manliness with a pink case.
I'm also surprised that Incipio is not in on this phone like they were with the atrix. They were one of the first cases available for the Atrix.

Otterbox for One

Otterbox announced cases for the One.
And here are they:
http://www.otterbox.com/htc-one-cases/htc-one-cases,default,sc.html
Definitely getting one for my One when i get mine. I hope they release more colors before the launch though.
Have had good experiences from Otterbox cases since my HTC Touch HD and HD2, still going strong, and saved my immortal HD2 many times.
Haven't tried other companies yet since Otterbox hasn't failed to protect any of my devices.
Good find. :good:
I think the One is going to benefit from some protection with its slick metal body. :victory:
Sweet! If I wind up getting the HTC One, which is very likely, I will most definitely purchase a Defender case for it.
Hopefully Otterbox has fixed the problems that the Galaxy S III Defender case had for the One.

I'll probably get the commuter case for mine. I had the defender on the HTC Evo LTE and the build quality of the belt clip was terrible. The clip that held the phone in the holster kept breaking off, I had it replaced twice and each of the replacements broke. It also happened to 3 other people that I know. I wish they would be like Seido and put a hinge in the clip. I might just get a TPU case for daily use, and an otter box for situations that call for it.

I've not used a case for my phone in the past 6 months, I just make sure my pockets are clear of shrapnel so nothing gets scratched.
Although with the HTC One it does look very scratchable. Think I may have to find a minimalist one closer to the time.
good news, we want more styles
Nice. Maybe i buy the HTC ONE
Just ordered white model of One and probably going with otterbox commuter. Defender would be nice too but its too bulky for day to day use.

I'm thinking of either the CruzerLite, the double dip case, or the Defender from Otterbox.
Then there's the chance a company like Trident will make a case. I usually like their cases.
I like the Commuter case in glacier. That one looks very nice.

Looks like on the Commuter case, the power button is not covered; just a blank hole so no need to worry.
I really do like the Commuter glacier case, but I find I never drop my phone until I put a case on it.. I guess I tend to let my guard down when I falsely believe my case will protect my phone.. That is after all how I got my One X+, dropped my Inspire and watched as the screen shattered on cement. Thankfully though my otterbox case survived the ordeal perfectly fine while also protecting the back of the device...
I just got an email saying they are available now.. Haven't got my phone yet..

Here is a video of the green Otterbox Commuter Series
Wow, this case is much better than I was expecting.
...And very very big, isn't it ? Know that It's important to protect this jewell, but...we paid a lot to finally hide it...
Guys which do you prefer? Defender or commuter case for the HTC One?
I like how the defender case cover's the front portion of the device but I am having doubts about how it is made for HTC One because of the 2 big speakers(top & bottom), front camera & the sensors.
Looking good, I'll be taking the Commuter one (only because he's the lightest one ). I have this case on my SGSII and he is good.
