So after reading a few reviews and watching some youtube vids, I went with the TPU Fusion. But I bought it off ambitronic instead of Amazon since it was $5 cheaper there.
Thanks guys.

You should love it. I know I am not sad, I don't need a whole bunch of added bulk or protection just enough.

yeah off of ambitronic + a screen protector didn't cost me much. only thing is that some microusb chargers won't fit completely or fit but are easy to dislodge, the original one fit fine for me but it wasn't really a dealbreaker for me since it doesn't bother me
I have a otter box case and I have to say I work on cars for a livin and its been dropped millions of times screen is still like New and the phone works fine. It's not a huge case its pretty slim its also had a full can of pop dumped on it to wit no damage done to the phone but that's just what I know about my case

I hate those gel/rubber cases because they make it so hard to get the phone in and out of your pocket. Just yesterday I reviewed Zagg's full body shield for the myTouch and I love it. It gave me great protection on my iPod Touch and now it's protecting my phone very well. It's not visible at all from a few feet away and it doesn't add any extra bulk to the phone. I highly recommend it.

I have gone through 2 sets of best skins ever, which are similar to zagg. I loved it too, only problem is it starts peeling up on the corners after a couple months. Ordered the credit card holding case this time around.
Forgot about this thread, I am loving this TPU fusion case! So for those of you who are considering it, I would highly recommend it. Very sleek, not bulky at all, very easy to take off, excellent grip, etc.

I have a T Mobile branded case that works really well.
It has a thin silicone skin and then a shell that goes on top of the skin and phone.
It is a bit bulkier now, but I've dropped my phone a number of times and I'm glad I had it on.

My wife got that case from the T-mobile store but it cracked in several places. Its too bad really, because its a nice case.

Both cases look pretty nifty, but I have the Otterbox Commuter case and it's simply amazing. You can find it here.
I've had the fusion for several months and it's still like new. Also no problems with being too grippy in my pocket.
I have both. I enjoy the look of the 2nd case, but the grips on the side are rough, so I don't like how it felt on my hands.
I'm currently using the first case because it's much smoother, and still gives a good grip. I don't really care for the argyle pattern.
They're both slim and gives about the same amount of protection.

I think the best case protection wise is the Trident case.. but it's kinda bulky pocket wise.. other than that best case hands down.
Thanks for the case suggestions guys

I've gone thru 2 tpu fusion cases and as good as they are I've recently turned to the MT4G commuter otterbox case and Ive got to say its pretty good.
I hate cases that make the phone bulky and I always thought the otterbox would, but its by far my favorite case now.

I havent got to play with it yet, but i had Ottterbox on my last phone (4S), and im gonna warn you, if you're going with otterbox, you're gonna have a tank in you're pocket.
Plus, it's really expensive.
For myself, I bought TPU Gel Silicone Skin Cover one ebay.

Had a Otterbox Defender for the iPhone 4 for about a week and gave it away. I hated everything about it. I especially hated the screen protector so it got punched out after a couple of days and I put another Body Guardz protector on it. After a week, it was back to the Mophie and Goodwill got the case.
I talked my wife into getting a Kraken for her hand-me-down phone, the Nexus. It's awesome. The Kraken for the GS3 is supposed to be shipping by the end of July so I'm hoping it won't be delayed. I already pre-ordered one from Amazon. I think the Otterbox is supposed to be out around 7/20 or so.
Had an otterbox for my droid razr and it was such a nice case! buttons were easy to press and the case wasn't as bulky. I decided to try the trident aegis case this time around. I'll review it a bit once I get it.

"a bit"?
kind of like saying Jenna Jameson was "a bit" of a porn star...
I got mine about a week ago and haven't used it for the last 4 days. I had the same case for my s2 & loved it, I thought it was an improvement to the phone. I have a couple of gripes with the s3 case but basically I just missed the sleek & smooth feel of the phone. My other gripes are
1. The buttons are a little too big, I don't have a problem with them being hard to press, especially as I always have my s3 in landscape and without the case I was always accidentally pressing the volume buttons.
2. It's just a little too big, and that's coming from a dell streak user. I just find the new cas a bit cumbersome, it doesn't look good with the curves.
3. I prefer the softer silicone inner on the s2 model, this is a lot firmer, making it a bugger to take off & put on.
4. The screensaver is pretty poor, I understand why they couldn't go right to the curved edge but it ONLY JUST! covers the display part of the screen, meaning you're constantly feeling the edge of it when swiping from the edge of the screen. I reckon i'll be too sick of that too and will be going naked.
Love Otterbox products, and I understand there has to be a pay off for the protection but I just don't think it works too well with the s3. IMHO!

Well its relative, i guess you have small hands..

So I got this over a week ago and I think I have had enough experience with it to review it. First off this case will not be for everyone. First off, the $50 price point will turn most away. But if you're on the hunt for a great quality leather flip case that's stylish and feels fantastic in the hand, this is the case for you!
Okay first off it does not add so much bulk. It feels smooth. The material feels great. The design both in and out of the case look great. Now this case flip open vertically. There is no magnet. There is a clip that hands onto the little indent on the top of the phone. As you can see in the pics, not everything is covered. A lot of the top is exposes. There are cutouts for the buttons on the side. Very little is exposed at the bottom. If it were to fall bottom first, no damage would be done to the bottom.
The case comes in this fancy little box. Inside the box SGP included not one but two Nano screen protectors (one I installed easily) with a cloth and a little card to push out bubbles.
I have talked on the phone with this thing on. At first it wasn't an issue. But if you tend to walk fast or run while on the phone, the flap will slap you back and forth lol it only happened to me twice but wasn't a big issue
The design is what really caught me. I was gonna get the original SGP Argos but when I seen this, the design just caught my attention. I don't know if they use genuine leather but it sure does smell and feel like it.
Of course this case won't be for everyone. The flap always being open and $55 price point will turn people away. This is not an every day case for me. It is a night life type of case for me. Meaning when I go out at night or go anywhere where I really wanna look good, this case comes with me.
Well that's all I can say about it for now. If anyone has any questions, just let me know. Hope someone out there found this useful
*will post more pics in a moment*

Hey the images aren't visible, im looking for a cool cover for my S3
I am not planning to get a case for my HTC One. Screen protector only. This is what I did with all my previous Android phones - Atrix, RAZR, and One XL ... however those phones were not made of aluminum. This is day 2, and my phone still looks OK. Question: has anyone else gone commando, and do you have any scratches? Is it wiser to get some kind of case?
With my old iPhone 4, I simply put a screen protector on the front and rear of the device. Is there such a thing for the HTC One?
haven't had a case for a week since i've gotten it. Still looks mint.
No case here..that's why I pay for insurance and not bothering with a screen protector...always hated those and ruins the clarity

I'm using it commando, but I'm wondering whether to get a case...
Yeah, I dropped mine twice and no major issues besides some small nicks that are making me OCD so I'm probably going to get the Poetic Atmosphere case after they release the updated version with the home button cut out. Meanwhile, I've ordered this sexy Skinomi carbon fiber skin.
Honestly, if you're going to go commando, you might as well not put a screen protector on. That's the strongest part of the phone anyway. (thank you gorrila glass)

No plans to get a case and hide the beautiful aluminum body
Commando all the way... Otherwise it'll feel like any other phone out there
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
Went full commando with by GS2 and am mostly decided on doing the same with my One. I'm considering a leather wallet-type or flip case, but no screen protectors for me...just doesn't feel the same.
I've gone naked for over 3 weeks now, can't bring myself to put a case on this beauty. Starting to get paranoid now though, and OCD with the tiniest dent at the top of the phone. I ordered this pouch last week.http://www.etsy.com/uk/transaction/128631973
I haven't run cases or screen protectors on my phones in years, certainly not going to put one on this beautiful phone!
That being said, I might get a pouch for it for certain times when I have to relinquish possession of said phone for 'security' reasons. I dislike it when I can't keep hold onto it.
Personally I like to use a pouch. When I am using the phone it is commando. But when it goes in my pocket it is wrapped up safe, or when I put it on the desk I can put the pouch underneath. Best of both worlds in my opinion.

Well since you're a fellow Cincinnatian, have her make me one too. :laugh:
I'm leaning towards the opposite.. I haven't gotten a case yet usually I use one.
I've kept a real tight grip so far, but I know it's gonna drop soon.
I probably won't go with a defender case just maybe a nice sleek clear case or a commuter to retain some of the physical beauty.
I can't see not using a case it's a slippery phone and the glass is not worth breaking.

I went commando for one night...and got a nick in the chamferred edge =[
It was in my pocket, and a girl was grinding on me while I was sitting down. Nothing sharp in my pocket, soft couch, no idea how it got nicked but it did.
Sad part is I had a thin clear TPU case but took it out to show people...grr

Just my take on it. Aluminum is not a hard metal, and it will at least dent and scratch. I would go with at least a thin TPU case. I'm using an Otterbox Defender on mine right now, but I may go with basic TPU soon.
I have never had a case for any phone and I certainly can understand why people think this is too beautiful to cover up. But for me it is too beautiful to leave it without a case and me mess it up. That's why I got the diztronic clear tpu case, happy enough with it.

As the title says, I'm just wondering if there are people out there who don't use a case at all on their phone. Also, if you don't, why don't you. To those that don't use a cover, how has your phone fared in the time since you got it?
I've been using a case on mine since the day I got it. Today I took it off and forgot how nice the phone feels without a case. I'm feeling like I'd like to not use a case for a while to see how the phone fares in day-to-day life.
So, yeah, any comments are welcome, and thanks in advance!

I haven't put a single case on any smartphone i've owned until I got my S3. And I can't remember the last time I've dropped my smartphone on the ground (KNOCK ON WOOD) so that's how careful I am with my phones but I fully respect and appreciate the concept of accidents.
Searching on Youtube for "S3 drop tests" should tell you why. Every single video i've seen has demonstrated how much damage the S3 fares when dropped on the ground. That was enough to convince me to slap a case on it.
I did a weekend with no case recently cause I liked the feel of a naked phone. Then at a family party someone runs into me as I was standing there texting a friend and I drop and scratch the side of my phone. Nothing Broke but the scratch
Made me sad.

I haven't but Ive ordered the lifeproof for it so it will be dressed finally when the case gets here

I've never dropped any phone I've had before either. That's why I figured I'd give not wearing a case a go.
I actually used a case on every phone I had. Looking back, it was kinda a waste because I never dropped the things.
The gs3 unfortunately feels like it could snap at a fall of a couple centimetres though.

It replaces back cover with a rubberized back cover. I got the black one, feels great in hand. The bumper i did not like, its very sleek. So i just use the cover alone, no bumper ?

I don't shell out a few hundred and not protect my phone. Reason I always put a case is for resale value. Sold my S3 pretty fast since it was in perfect condition.

I used to be very protective and used an xtremeguard on the front screen and the back cover, along with a belkin tpu case. But I ended up taking all of it off because my OCD always kicked in when I saw dust caught on the edges of the case, and when the sides my xtremeguard lifted up slightly due to the case. The only protection I have now is that I cut out a small piece of my xtremeguard and carefully applied it to the camera lens so that it doesn't get scratched when I place the phone on the table.
I have been running my S3 this way for almost a month now, and it is still flawless. And I am very careful with my electronics so I expect it to be in pristine condition until it's time for an upgrade.
I just stopped using a case on my phone about a week ago. When its not in a case like super protective of it tho

The only thing I have on the phone is the clear shield protection. It is very thin and feels as if you are naked.

For hands like mine, SIII is just too thin to hold without case
If I remember correctly, only one of my phones ever had a screen cover (HTC Compact IV). Apart from that one, every phone has been how the designer(s) intended the phone to be.
I keep my phone in a PDA belt pouch and occassionally in an empty pocket in my trousers.
I treat the £500 phone with the care of a £500 piece of equipment I cannot afford to replace if damaged.
