Case*Mate, Barely There Brushed Aluminum Case
Got this today locally and only grabbed it cause I was able to get it way below its retail. After putting it on the phone, I really like it. I loved my Incipio feather lite and this is actually better imo. The edges actually snap over the phone and the bottom and top are actually covered a tad more than the feather lite did on my gs2 (this could be from the different style of phone though).
The aluminum on the back feels pretty nice and the paint is actually nice on the rest as it isn't slippery like I thought it would be. Sweaty hands my make it slippery though.
You can get these at at the case mate website for $40, or at the AT&T store for $40 as well.
I don't think this will protect the phone to well in a massive drop, but it will obviously protect it from scuffs and help keep the battery cover like new (cause we like $40 cases that protect $20 battery covers ).
Mainly I got this cause I don't like bulk and at more than half price, I couldn't pass it up. XD
On to the pics -

Finally found a case I like, the Momax i Case Pro.
Price was around $11 USD shipped.
Reason I like this case is thick enough for basic protection and thin enough not to add any bulk.
I been looking at some of the slim case, most of them doesnt add protection to the screen side of the phone.
I think this is a great case for people who wants a slimr cases but wants protection to the edge on screen side of the phone.
The edge is made out of soft rubber materials and thin hard plastic.
As you can see the edge that stick out on the screen side is very thin.
Just enough to cover the metal-like that goes around the SGS2 screen.
Rubber button are easy to press.
Back is thick enough for camera screen not to touch a flat surface.

From the photos it appears this picks up dust/lint easily?
Can you say?
I like the idea of the flip case but the Nillkin TPU case I think will provide more protection other than a screen. I find the phone to be slippery without a case and therefore with the flip case I think it will pretty much will be the same (maybe not). Can you give me some pros and cons of each?
I have the flip case.
Pros: Looks good, no bulk
Cons: No protection from the sides or back, nothing holds the cover to protect the screen if dropped. Finally, the glue on the sides starts to wear out, the skin becomes lose with use. I posted a pick of it earlier

Thanks, I ordered the Nillking case. It's cheap enough that I can always get something else if I don't like it. Thanks again.
Do this...You can have both

Bought this one off of eBay for $4.25 shipped. They have numerous colors and they usually go for about what I paid at auction via bid, buy it now for a few more dollars. Search "dual layer hybrid case s3" and you'll find them. Figured I'd give everyone a heads up who like the ballistic style cases because for the price you can't go wrong.
Now to my review... Fits surprisingly well, conforms to the phone tight. Buttons all line up fine, only negative is I had to trim a small amount around the charge port in order to get the charger to fit as snug as stock. As far as protection it looks as if it will do very well. Thick bumpers to protect the edges and a plastic hard case to protect the sides & rear. This case also feels way lighter and makes the phone feel much smaller than my otterbox defender did. Pretty happy with the case for the cost! Anyways here's a few pics.

IMAK Transparent Crystal Clear Hard Cover Case Shell Compatible for OnePlus On... http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00L4APLTA/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_awdm_KudYtb0155H8V
I ordered the above case from Amazon due to Prime shipping. Below are a few quick thoughts and photos. Photos are not the best but should give you an idea of fit.
It is exactly as advertised, a clear hard snap on case. I tend to prefer no case or a thin TPU, but at least with this case I can see the phone(I hate covering a phone with a bulky case). Even though I prefer no case, this one does look good on the phone.
Pros:
-Cut outs for power and volume are tight, but even with my sausage fingers I can hit them easily.
-looks great
-good build quality
-fits perfectly
-cheap $10 shipped
Cons:
-goes without saying but minimal protection
-biggest gripe I have, the lip on each side is equal in height to the screen. So no sitting the phone face down.
-company stamped their logo on the back. It is small so I don't mind, but it looks like a drunk cross eyed person did it. It is off center and crooked. I will have to figure out a way to rub it off it is that bad.

Does the case interfere with the flash when you use it?
I've bought one too. Now the wait begins.

I live in India so for me it was very difficult to find a perfect skin, either it was too expensive or the quality wasn't up to the mark. Finally I found Gadget Shields, who had skins at a very affordable price. I bought the Carbon Fiber Black and I have to say that the quality and craftsmanship is pretty good. Although it took me 30 mins to put the skin on, it was quite easy and I have mine perfectly installed. It's also pretty nice that they give you a free screen protector, however I had my Tempered Glass Screen Protector already on from TechArmor so I did not apply the screen protector and the front piece of the skin. Trust me, skins are awesome! You might argue that a slim case is better, I too thought the same but this thing is slimmer than the slimmest of the cases out there in the market right now. Even if you are a resident living in the US this thing is way cheap as compared to a company like DBrand, who sell their back piece for a hefty 10$. In this case you'd get everything under 15$. Also what I got free was a scratch on the back, I don't know why did they even give me this defect piece maybe it happened by chance but I am 100% sure that it didn't happen due to my fault(see the images for a reference). Anyways the skin is so good I am very happy with it.
Here are some of the pictures I have taken for the curious ones out there who want to see how the skin looks on the Nexus 5.
