Urban Armor Gear Composite Hybrid Case for Samsung Galaxy S III - $34.99

Normally would post this in the "Member Found Deals" section, but since it's SGSIII specific, I decided to post it here for anyone that may be interested.

You know on Amazon these cases are cheaper. There is a thread in the accessories section with links and people discussing this case.
I bought mine for $25.00 off amazon with free 2 day shipping. Check it out.

Everything is cheaper on Amazon, you can buy toilet paper for cheap on that site lol. But ya that case seems over rated. Just a name brand. Though, I'd be all over a Nike case, haha.

The case is not at all overrated. Best case I've ever owned. Feels more secure than my seidio active case and adds less thickness. Good snug fit too.

Amazon and newegg are my go to places to shop online.
Anyway regarding the case I don't think it's overrated. It's really nice and has a unique aggressive design. It has a nice wow factor. When people see it for the first time they almost fall in love with it.
In terms of protection: if there is a bar with no protection, mid level protection and maximum protection, this case would be in mid level.
I recommend it to those ppl who don't drop their phone's too often. It doesn't add much bulk at all and still looks sleek and awesome.
If you tend to drop your phone a lot then move to the otterbox/ballistic level of cases.

Rubber/Gel/Silcone case...

I've had an armor case since I got my Play, but it's all dirty now and I snapped the front of it...
Would like a proper gel case, ie one that feels like rubber, not plastic...recommendations?

Never, ever, ever buy an otterbox case for this phone. It pushes the gamepad away from the screen. The case I currently use is this one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/For-Sony-Er...030226?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item43b4cb4912
This is the best case I have ever used. And I have used abotu 5 different cases in 18 months.

Switch to a trident, the case you're using has damaged my phone in the past, the top piece had raised imperfections on the inside which leave marks on the outside of your screen.
Trident over everything, been using since last October + it has a 1 year warranty.

Best bumper case for S3?

Hey guys, I'm looking for a good bumper case. I did a search but havent read much on the forums here. A quick ebay search brings up many options, and I was wondering if anyone has a particular one they like. I've looked at the draco bumper case, but I'm not spending 70$ for a case.
I would prefer a pretty solid feeling bumper that hopefully has a little better grip than the current phone.
Thanks

I have aluminium bumpers, but I don't think they do anything for "grip". A silicone / TPU type bumper might be able to do that.
You get what you pay for. I got a $13 aluminium bumper case from eBay. I'm happy with it, but it's not perfect with concerns to quality control - and I really doubt any at that price-range are.
However I think $70 on a case is reasonable to spend if you can afford it. I mean, that's like 1/10th of the phone's original price - pretty reasonable to me.

How's the screen protection with that one?
If it was easy you'd of hired the guy at Home Depot to to it.

It as a lip of 2-3 mm on the edge, not much but it holds on the phone very firmly. I dropped my phone a few times now on stone (outside) and wood (inside.) But it was just fine. Altough it always depends on luck.
On a side note, i have installed the spigen screen protector and after 2 months it still doesnt have a scratch.

Protection wise, are aluminum bumpers just for looks or do they actually protect the phone at all? It seems like hits would just shoot right through instead of being absorbed like a rubber bumper.

There wouldn't be any shock / impact absorption. Looks only with a drop in reception. Foam is too thin. The phone would most likely touch the aluminum when dropped. Unless it had the sturdier stoppers.
For the authentic Spigen bumper is it a one piece?

Maybe mine is faulty... but I had no movement on power button on bumper. It honestly takes me pushing pretty hard to turn my screen on and off. I've tried to fix numerous times without luck. Glad you guys are having better luck. But in my experience with this case I would not feel comfortable recommending it to someone

I "made" one for the extended battery (and case) that I have - from a 3EUR rubber case (normal size) which could not fit the extended case in the original form, but after some cutting around I was left with a decent bumper - not perfect (and the "finish" is poor since this was a first-time experiment) - but usable

What's interesting is that I have the exact opposite complaint about my spigen bumper. I bought it the same time that I bought a leather holster and the button is way to easy to press. When I put it in the holster it barely touches the power button but it's so easy to push that the holster makes it turn off.

waterpfoof case for the s3

I know a lot of us has been looking for a waterproof shockproof dustproof snow proof case for our s3. Lifeproof has failed to deliver same goes for with otterbox, they are taking for ever. I found one that is available in a few hours. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/enflux/agilis-series-premium-galaxy-s3-case check it out. And it is cheaper than otterbox.

100k in 52 hours yea i highly doubt it'll reach its goal. Best of luck though.

In my situation cautious yes. I work in a really dusty enviroment and I use the case only in the workplace. And I got my earlier Sony's screen broken because of no case in the workplace....
I don't use this case in my freetime. It's just too bulky to have in your pocket and phone is a little more difficult to use.
There's couple disadvantages in the case:
- you can't press the powerbutton on the rightside. It's blocked because the hinges of the case are on the right side.
- I have had problems with the voice. I need to take the phone out of the case when talking with someone because they can't hear almost at all for some reason. I have not researched do anyone else have this problem and can I do something for it
I have also a bike clip for the case. I have not tested it yet (I have some plans to use the phone as a cycling computer in the summer time).
I'm little struct between this or Griffin Survivor (I have them both). Griffin Survivor is much better in almost every way (belt clip in Griffin case is really good) if you don't need water proofness but it's much harder to put the phone to the case and take if off.

Got this case to use on my bike: http://www.topeak.com/products/bags/smartphone_drybag_5_bk
Edit: don't mind my sig, got a S3 now.

Would an s3 with extended battery fit in this case, im already looking for quite a while for something like this but never realy wanted to order one because i am worried that it would not fit for extended batteries

Do these waterproof cases float? If no, what kind of depths can they handle? (I assume 1m)
I'm waiting for the otter armor.

Ya I bought one of the HTC cases knowing it was an issue. Thought I could just be careful with it. Lasted one day. Couldn't stop thinking about it. All I could think about was my beautiful black one being scratched up everytime I moved. I took it back the next day and ordered a poetic atmosphere case.
On the subject of the otterbox, I used a commuter otterbox on my evo lte and was very pleased with it. I hate the bulky defender case but the commuter really doesn't add much to it. Just an fyi and sharing my personal opinion.

How did you "pop out" the built in protector? I thought it was glued?
I'm using a defender, but have ordered the Tuff as Nuts model. I think I might go ahead and get rid of the external protector, since dust gets under there.
I plan to go commando, or nearly that, depending on if a thin TPU case will work with the "nuts" model - they are really stiff when new. I had one a while back for a different phone - great protection.

Yeah, I really liked it back on my HD2, but it does need to be sealed all around to be effective. The odd thing is that they got it right on the top, but not the bottom.
