I bought this one:

I have used this material in several phones , it kind of adheres to surfaces
I'll get it next week and report back

I got the Body Glove and think the thickness is perfect.

I got this one as well. Had it for my Captivate too. Works great and doesn't stick to your pocket lining.

I think the Incipio Feather case should be very thin. Available from them directly or I'm hearing in Radio Shack too.
We have that same case on the wife's iP4 and it adds almost no bulk to the phone. It probably doesn't provide much shock resistance like the Otterbox cases, but prevents scratches and makes it easier to grip.

I purchased a smoke TPU case off of EBay; should be here today or tomorrow. I've used a TPU case on my EVO since about 2 weeks after I had it and I love the feel and the slimness of the case, and the fact that it provides a bumper of sorts to keep the screen from lying on surfaces (unlike the Incipio case).
The one I purchased is item 290530353216 (chose that one due to the seller's location being near to me, only reason really).

If you have prime with Amazon, the case 2 posts above is only $2 with 2 day shipping
http://www.amazon.com/EMPIRE-Black-...LKO4/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1298653527&sr=8-2

Can you still dock the phone with the body glove?

The body glove case works with the car dock perfectly. It's a great case. Not to rubbery and not to slippery, just right.

any TPU case is the way to go. rubbery and protective, but not too rubbery to stick in your pocket and not come out.

are they easy to take off and put on? is the material bendable?

I purchased the Speck case at the Att store. Very good protection nice looks without the added bulk of an otterbox case.

Cross posting this from the Incipio thread:
Just scored the Incipio Feather case (in black) - we're already using one on our iPhone 4, and I really like it. I wanted something to cover the back/side, provide better grip, and maybe offer a touch of drop resistance, but that's secondary.
The material is super thin, like 0.5mm or thinner, it basically adds no bulk to the phone. It does come with a screen protector, but I doubt I'll use it, I'm pretty gentle with my phones and they're usually just in my pocket (and I keep my rusty nails and broken glass in a +different+ pocket). Plus the design isn't edge-to-edut
The fit is tight, really clean, the ports/buttons are easily accessible. It uses that popular "soft touch" type material, which has an almost felt like surface. We have a Speck case that's like this. The nice thing vs. silicone is it's grippy, but it doesn't attract dust ~n~ gunk and wipes clean. It also isn't so sticky that it's hard to get out of a pocket!

The Body Glove does not work with these docks. It will fit (extremely tight), but the thickness of the sides of the case near the HDMI and microUSB ports keeps the phone from sitting all the way down on the dock. The end result is that it doesn't trigger or power the device.
I ended up returning my dock because of this.

+1 for the Incipio feather. Its the right mix of style and protection in the this case range. I dropped my phone about two feet this morning, and the feather was more than adequate to protect it.

Review (pictures): Body Glove snap-on case with Kick Stand for Motorola Atrix

I bought this case after trying out the Otterbox Commuter & Incipio Feather. I still have them, but don't use them as much as the Commuter gathers dust easily & the Feather doesn't afford too much protection. A good compromise is the Body Glove Snap On case with Kick Stand. It's a solid case with a rubbery, textured material that doesn't attract dust. The grip is solid and the case appears well built, just like the Commuter. In fact, I suspect that this case may be able to do a better job than the Commuter for protection against drops and knocks.
It's more than just a case, as it comes with an adjustable Kick Stand, which allows the phone to stand upright or slanted on it's own (portrait & landscape). The stand is built into the rotating clip, so you don't have to worry about losing separate parts of a multi-purpose accessory. The kick stand allows for multiple viewing angles in portrait mode and 2 angles in landscape. The clip is also well built, and "clicks" into various positions solidly. The Clip can be mounted and released quickly. The knob for the clip can be removed and the hole is covered up by a supplied accessory, for a low profile look. Hence, this case is quite versatile in it's use.
I would say that the Body Case is slightly less bulkier than the Otterbox Commuter and bulkier than the Incipio Feather. It's a substantial case like the Commuter, so it may not be suited for folks looking for an ultra low profile look. Putting the case together is quite easy. Taking it apart is difficult on first try, but becomes quite easy after some practise, once you figure out the points to pivot your fingernail from.
All in all, quite a good case that looks sharp; has a low profile (for a tough case); well built & has a great grip with a built-in kick stand. Pictures:

To bad you need to use a belt clip to use it with the kickstand.

sorry but that is one ugly case

CASES
I usually buy a lot of different cases for every phone I own. I had a body glove case for a previous phone and tore it apart trying to get it off the phone. I now have the Feather case for my Atrix and like it since it has such a low profile. Wish i could find a similar case without the rubbery texture. I had one such case for my Captivate that i liked a lot...it was my favorite case though it scratched very easilly.....Thanks for the great pictures of the body glove case.

thats pretty cool case, it would be nice to see it look like carbon fiber instead. I'm a big fan of that.

I like the Body glove mirage case.

Nice case. I echo the sentiment that sucks that the kickstand has to be with belt clip on only. But the Body Glove case for the Captivate was nice, I am sure this one is no different quality wise.

Otterbox defender also has a kick stand

I'd like a kickstand but that design doesn't tempt me at all. Considering how easy it (seems like it) would be to just make a replacement for the stock back cover, I think there could be a lot of clean looking "cases" for this phone. I know it would be more difficult than the cases that just fit around, but still seems like there would be enough demand to justify it.

body glove
What bothers me is the difficulty of removing the cover to change batteries. I had a body glove case in the past and destroyed the cover trying to take it off it was so tight and hard to get off. Also, this case has no protection for the earphone and sides jacks so dirt and dust could do damage in the long run. Having said that I do like the looks of the case and the kickstand which looks very sturdy.
I have a commuter case that I like a lot. All the ports are covered and it offers good protection. I just took one of those $2.50 collapsing clips off ebay, trimmed it downed and epoxied it to the back of the commuter which may work great....its drying now.
I also have on of those metal cases that has a clip that works great as a kickstand. The case itself looks good (black metal) but not good protection for the phone if dropped and not comfortable to hold in your hand.
Overall the Otterbox cases offer the best protection.....the defender and commuter.
In the meantime the new android phones coming out offering faster processors and larger screens may make this a moot point in the future.

i have this same one but i dont use it much makes my phone feel heavy evan though its prolly less than a pound lol

Rearth Rinke Slime Case Review

There are many hard cases on the market and most feel like hard plastic shells. This case actually feels like rubber with the stiffness of plastic. It just feels like quality. It also manages to come about 1/4 of an inch further on the bottom and top to cover more area. The cutouts around the power and volume rockers are recessed which make a world of difference when pushing the already almost flush buttons. It also give extremely good grip. I dropped my first galaxy s3 with a casemate on it and that case didn't have any bottom or top protection and my phone suffered. I posted a picture of the damage and the casemate. If it were in the rearth it would have survived without a scratch. I can't say enough how good this case feels in the hand. Its a really slick phone and it needs a grippy case.

Glad to hear a good review. I ordered one of these for my preordered S3.:fingers-crossed:

I ordered this, the casemate barely there, the Nilkin hard case, and I bought an Affinity smoke glass hardshell from Bestbuy that I was planning to return once I got one of the cases I ordered but boy does it look nice. I might keep it. It looks gorgeous.

Is there any angle that would hit the bottom or top edge if you dropped it? like facing 45 degrees forward?

No there isn't unless it falls on a squared edge. Plus the rubbery coating gives extra protection.

if i ever buy a hardcase for my galaxy it will be this one.
glad to hear it works well.

Wow. After this case came, on the website they are giving away lanyard strap with it.......

could you post some pics of the phone with the case on it?
Thanks

Had the Slim on my SII and my Note. Absolutely loved them.
If I had a III this would be the case for me without a doubt.
It's a shame that they don't have any plans to release one for the One X.

Ordered one last night. Never used a case on my Epic 4G but that's because they were a pain to find. Looks thin enough which was my only concern. Didn't want to add on a lot of extra bulk. Thanks

I could but they wouldn't do any justice to the pics on the rearth website.

I bought one of these for my Note. For the $30 I paid for it, I expected more. Why they don't make the plastic go all the way around the bezel is beyond me. I will pass on this one for the S3.

I think it would be fragile, that the reason no cases manufacturer makes a case like this with the bottom and the top covered.

Just ordered mine, thanks for the recommendation.
It took me a while though as I could not find a slime case!

Is there a link for these cases Google isn't bringing up anything

Looks nice but for me cases with volume/power cut outs just feel awkward to me. I much prefer the built in buttons

http://www.rearthusa.com/galaxy_s3_ringke_case
i think it's the size of the phone. large, but thin, that makes me feel like it will not take a fall very gracefully. fingers crossed until the case arrives.
oh also, in case anyone is having problems googling the case... it's Rearth Ringke Slim (the OP is missing a "g" and added the "e" in slime LOL)

This is an advertisement, not a review.

Got my Ringke Slim the other day. Similar to my Galaxy Nexus one, except it doesn't protect the top and bottom and it doesn't come with a screen protector or rubber port protectors. Overall I love it though, very thin. But after receiving my ROCK case, I'll probably use that more often. If you're looking for something that will make it look like you don't have a case on it, this is it.

[REVIEW] Incipio Silicrylic DualPro Hard Shell Case with Silicone Core

Picked up the Incipio Silicrylic at Verizon a wile ago and have been extremely happy with the case. It is pebble blue which was a bonus. Here is the run down...
Pros:
Good balance of protection and usability
Doesn't add much bulk at all
Silicone core provides just enough grip
Doesn't pick up signifigant lint in my pocket. This could vary as others have noted. What I've noticed is that as the silicone ages, it is less sticky and more smooth.
Cons:
Can't get the pebble blue anywhere online that I have seen ... Other than Verizon.
Pricey @ $30. 25% discount at VZ helps if you have it.
White label VZ version does not include screen protector. The one put in by the rep at VZ has been great but a case this expensive should ship with one. The fully branded version does.
Not really a con but the stand it comes with is meh. Although a built in stand would degrade the case for sure.
I do recommend this case overall... Incipio Product Page

I went from a otterbox defender to the incipio with a screen protector and found that this combination adds enough protection while adding little bulk to the phone.

I have this case and it's awesome, buttons feel incredible. I would have preferred a screen protector over a crappy stand.

I have the same case in a different color, the lighter blue which I like better (personal preference). The case offers plenty of protection. I already dropped it on concrete once from waste height. It landed face down and not a single mark on the phone.

According to video reviews on Youtube this case does come with a screen protector. Perhaps just the Verizon variant?

Faxion or Silicrylic?
Anyone had a chance to compare this (Silicrylic DualPro) with the Incipio Faxion case?
Thanks.

I have this case in black. It's fantastic overall, and I mostly agree with your PROs and CONS except for a few.
I have found that the silicone core does in fact pick up lint in your pocket. It can get rather annoying to clean off since it sticks so well but not a deal killer for me.
Also the silicone core is "loose" fitting on the edge of the phone. What I mean but this is that you can run your finger along the glass screen up to the edge, and you can easily stretch the silicone core out.
Other than that, I agree with you. Especially with the part about not adding that much bulk. I'm pretty picky when it comes to cases as I want best of both worlds. Protections and slimness is hard to come by but I think Incipio nails it with this case. :good:

Good point about the loose-ness. Lint has not been an issue, but maybe I just don't have any in my pockets.
There really is no perfect case but this is the closest I have found for the GS3.

[User Review] Amzer Pudding TPU Case Black For Moto G

I initially looked at the flip case, but having had a go with a friends, I didn`t like the `flip` when making a call.
I started looking round for alternatives and spotter the Amzer Pudding TPU case.
I wanted something with protection all the way round the phone. I`ve seen several where the corners are exposed. Dropping it on a corner is something I had with an old phone and it immediately cracked the glass, so a fully enclosed cover was top of the list.
This has a `rubberised` texture and in use, it certainly feels grippy. The edges are sticky enough so you won`t drop it easily, but not so bad that you can`t get it in and out of your pocket without it `grabbing` the material. :good:
For £6.50 delivered, I really can`t complain. :good:

Full edge coverage

Neat cutout for the headphone
Camera & Speaker cutouts
Power and Volume controls are covered, but they are easy to use and I haven`t struggled to press the buttons at all.

By how much does the thickness increase..
i know its too much to ask but if u ever remove the case can u post pictures of case and bare mobile side by side
btw i have never used a tpu case..its is rubbery flexible or plasticky...i have heard that its a combination of both

But a drop of more than 2-3 feet would probably still break the phone. To get better protection, one should have a case with thick rubber bumpers on the corners like the Trident or Ballistic case. But of course, it wouldn't be as pocket friendly.

I have this case and dislike it. It adds too much thickness for me, but about what you can expect from a TPU case. I buy cases for scratch protection rather than drop protection. I hate the glossy bezel and just wish they had that same back finish for the entire case. The finish of the back is nice since it doesn't pick up fingerprints. The last thing I can't stand is how small the usb connector cutout is. This can probably be fixed with a knife, but it still shouldn't come like that.

is it sturdy material or flexible that it can be like silicon cover in the ease of putting/removing the phone from it?

It is not terribly difficult to put this case on or remove it. One of the best features of this case for me is the matte back section which greatly improves grip and the button molds in the side.

Every time I use a heavy-duty case though I end up removing it after a few months and using a less-protective one because of the bulk, tpu cases seem like an "OK" compromise (or at least I hope).
I've been eyeing the Cruzerlite bugroid ones since watching this IRL drop test (nexus 5) video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KY9Svj9fYVg but the Amzer one reviewed here looks very nice :good:

isit a good alternative for the gripshell?
I need a bumper what do you suggest?

It does provide good protection but makes the device look dull. I guess I'll have to buy something else for my wife.

Its very cool, but its expensive. I'm from Spain and this price is elevate for me.
Enviado desde mi XT1032

This was the only tpu case available when the phone first launched online. It is a durable case with good protection, not too bulky. Offers good grip. Overall 7.5/10.

After much ado I finally decided on this case, bought it, received it, liked it at first. Then I had it in my pocket for a day at work.
Took my phone out of my pocket and the screen was covered in little waves of dust. And it had gathered up around the edges. Even had a small piece of plaster or something sticking to the screen.
I work in a dusty environment but this is ridiculous. I didn't have problems with my 3GS or Lumia, and though the bareback Moto G's screen seemed to attract a little more dust than those... This case is a DUST MAGNET.
I wish someone would have mentioned that in any of the dozens and dozens of reviews I'd gone over.
