I had this case for my GS2 and iPhone 4s and I got rid of my phones long before it started to sag. However, I plan to keep my GS3 for quite awhile.

It's really annoying just like holding a bubble behind the phone. Ended up modding it my self by cutting the back away

Does anyone know a list of cases that DONT sag?
Actually I think this is the best case when it comes to how thin it looks, protection, and variety of colors

Protection wise, I think the hybrid. Other than that both quality cases. Can't go wrong with either.

As the name suggests, the Ultra Thin, is "ultra thin." If you want something slim, you should go with it or get the Neo Hybrid instead if you want more protection.
Well, SGP did mention they are either going to make it with TPU or semi-TPU, hopefully that's the case instead of silicone
I've had the Neo Hybrid for the SG2 but never had the sagging issue. I hope that's not the case cause I really like the feel of them. Will definitely get it when it is available.
the sagging issue is due to taking the phone out of the casing too frequently? as least that was what happened for me
the sagging issue should NOT be present in the S3 version according to SGP (in the YouTube video)... The representative or whatever commenting saying new material is being used that is stronger and will not sagg

There shipping later this month, they have 2 other cases out within the next week or so.
I'll have them in for review very soon ;-)

Ok, I just happened to notice they finally have the Slider case for the Vibrant in The SGP Store.
Yesterday they still weren't up yet.
Remember, this is for the Vibrant and not just another i9000 case.
Here is the link:
http://www.sgpstore.com/index.php/cPath/23_29
I'm picking one up ASAP!
EDIT 9/2/2010: Apparently The company has run into some production problems.
That is why the cases have been delayed.
The entries have since been removed from their website.
Is that the same as the magenta one in tmobile stores?

no, it's not a silicone case.
It is a slider case.
Very nice and sleek
ARRRRG!!! theyre not in stock yet!
Edit: I ran to get my CC
Actually, T-Mobile does offer a similar case to the Slide cases mentioned, and only in the magenta color (so far, anyway).
Just for kicks, I tried it on my phone, but the plastic just seems cheap and it doesn't feel all that secure where the parts join. I would hope that the SGP ones are better quality than the no-name ones T-Mobile offers.

best looking cases for this phone imo. wish it had a little kickstand type thing. . .
Looks awesome, buying ASAP!
Title says it all
But on related note, is the included screen protector good? I was planning on ordering a realook one but hey, if this gets the job done without ruining the screen quality...
Are these glossy casses and do they provide grip? Also if they are glossy wouldn't they start to get scratched up when putting them down on hard surfaces?...anyone know?
I am dying for a white one. These are the nicest cases I have seen for the vibrant thus far.
Pretty sweet I dig them too just not sure what color...hmmm white or blue...
If they would just hurry up and get these in stock...

Im going with the "storm trooper" look myself .
Anyone got one yet? Someone post a short review of fitment. Hoping that the case fits well and stays intact unlike some other ones with similar install style.
I hope this version doesn't have a cutout for the antenna.
The pics definitely have the antenna cutout. Hopefully these are just sample pics.

Hope you can do a little review once you get it.
Those Ultra Silke silicone cases look quite nice, especially if their claims of them not being sticky/tacky are true.
these need to come out like NOW!
I got the black glossy Cruzer case from Amazon and it fits snug and tight...better than my Incipio case I purchased from the Verizon store. The case is nice and durable. The power button and 3 prongs are open and the volume keys are closed with a nice rough texture. The volume keys are very easy to use since they are sealed. I recommend this case to GSM Galaxy Nexus owners and the price is not bad at all.
I gave it a 5 star review on Amazon.
Here is a link...
Check out the other designs Cruzer has... Android print case looks pretty cool too.

How is the fit and finish, for lack of a better term, of the case? How tightly does it fit around the face and how are the areas around the mold seam?
I'm currently using this Qubits case and while it is quite good, it is not perfect.

The fit and finish is great. It is not loose around the face or around the seams. Im telling you, this fits nice and tight all around the phone.

I have this case and while it fits perfectly it takes away from the look of the phone. Also makes it bulky and just not the same. I have a smoked one if someone wants it. Will sell it for $5.

I got black. I didn't care too much about the color though. I only use the case when I am in route from one location to another. When I'm at home or at the office I take the case off.
Just noticed this new bumper case as I was looking through their site.

I tried out a bumper case when I first got my S3. It was the Belkin version. To me it just didn't feel right. I don't think bumper cases work for this phone. Its not shaped right for it. The iPhone because it has flat sides. Our phones have too much curve.
I think you guys are right. I just bought the Belkin bumper today and it just feels odd on this phone.
I guess I'll be picking up a Neo Hybrid when they fix the button issue in a couple weeks.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
I placed an order for one, just to see how it feels since I never used a bumper case on S3. I'm guessing I will get it sometime next week with the "Surprise Gift" SGP is offering right now. I wonder what it is... i hope it's not another kuel stylus :/
@Hound88
SGP customer service told me button issues are fixed ONLY on Neo Hybrid - Jade Blue. Infinity White and the Rubine Red Color Series are suppose to be in stock later on this week.

Cool, let us know how you like it. Good news about the Neo in Jade Blue as it's the one I'll be ordering. What's the difference between the two Neo Hybrids? One is the Lumi which is not the one I want because I like the purple back better.

I had also the NEO Hybrid and traded it in for the Modello series, since they had problems with the buttons, they said they are working on fixing that , so im sure ill get that again when it comes out

I agree. SGP is my favorite case company but they are really pissing me off with these color choices. My Nocturne Black Modello looks great and I would like to get a Neo Hybrid but they only have those bright and fruity colors. I know that Samsung was trying to be different when they chose their colors for the S3 but that doesn't mean that the case companies have to go that route too.

Try the otterbox commuter case with mime ghost glass. I love the combo, not very bulky and superior protection :good:
Does the defender (since we are talking about bulky cases) have the same issue with the silicon coming loose over time like on the sgs3

Had on on a S3 now have one for the One using the MIME glass instead of the included plastic screen protector. Works great and no problem with pockets.
What are peoples experiences and thoughts of it? I know it's pricey but kinda OCD in that way where I like all my stuff official. Does it still stay slim yet have a premium feel to it?

I think its a bit too expensive for me. I hardly drop my phone and take very good care of it. But from the reviews online, its a well constructed case with a premium feel. So if budget isn't an issue, you can get that. And it does offer decent drop protection.
I am ordering the Tudia Wav Hybrid. The video sold me. Check out the drop test:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZyLInX4EsM
PLUS IT IS $9.99 72% off the regular price over at amazon!!! :good:
I just got mine in tonight. Will give you feedback in a day or so..
What I read was that the clear coat doesn't last as long and starts to peel...hopefully that doesn't happened...
I ordered the black one and I heard that the color ones is harder to see the peels.
What I like so far is that being that is is official..The case fits so perfectly without messing up my tempered glass screen protector; using iloome flex at the moment, MIME version is on the way

It's pretty awful, the non-black ones stain just from the color of your pockets and the coating rubs off of the black case.
Would not buy again.
Check on the thread regarding the LG hardshell which seemingly does exist and has the Nexus logo on the back.

This is what some people have been seeing with their Nexus 5 bumper cases.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5oEj4hJsd0
The finish is peeling, and they have staining and discoloration.
There are better cases out there for cheaper. The only thing this one had going for it was the Nexus branding on it, but if the quality is crap there's no point.
