Looking for a new case(Currently have smoke TPU)

So, I bought the smoked colored TPU case because matte black was sold out. I like the case because it's small and doesn't add more bulk to an already huge phone.
My problem is that it's very slippery, I'd like something a bit more grippy but do not want the full rubber cases, I had a case mate on my old phone and I sometimes it was a pain to take out and put in my pocket, it would just come off of the phone..
The matte black TPU I heard was good, but will it be as slippery as the one I have now.
This seems to have decent reviews:

Thanks, but the jack info is a deal breaker. I use my phone every time I get in my car with the Aux input. It's my source of music, taking the case on and off every single time would be a big hassle.
If I don't get more replies I'll take my chances with the matte black TPU.

Should I get OtterBox Commuter?

So I'm just curious that if I should pay 45bucks for OtterBox... I do want a great protection. But I don't want a huge bulk... I am willing to pay 45bucks if that's must. I need your guys opinion!

First off amazon sells it for like ~$23. Secondly, it is a lint MAGNET, I got so fed up with it collecting dust/lint that I couldn't take it anymore and returned it. Get a CruzerLite Androidified case, it fits the normal extended batteries, looks sleek, and will give you protection.

I have a commuter and it doesn't attract that much lint.. plus there are only the 4 couriers showing of the gelcase, the rest is the hard plastic.

While I didn't purchase one for my GN, I did have one on my previous phone. Nice case, but the silicone on the edges wear out a bit after a while and gets kind of loose. My biggest problem with commuters is the slippery plastic. For me, the feel of a case is right up there in priorities. The Seidio surface case has a nice soft touch covering on it and it protects the edges and provides a nice lip around the screen so it doesn't touch when you set it down on that side.

I purchased the Defender and love it...amazon has it cheap as well

Very happy with the Commuter. I had one for my the Hero before i got this phone too and i couldn't recommend them enough.
I personally like that it has a "slippery" hard cover on the back so its easier to slip in and out of pockets. The front side still has the rubberized feel, if you need to put it somewhere that it won't slip. I do this while driving and just place it face down.
I have to say the version for the GN seems more solid and a tighter fit than what I used on the Hero. Only minor complaint is that the screen protector that comes with it doesn't cover the entire screen. Its still decent, though.
I'm thinking about trying a zagg screen protector, but i've read that people say it won't stay on when applied to phones with a case.
edit: got mine at thecellguru.com....seems to be the best deal going.

I use the OB Commuter on both mine and my fiances Gnexus.
I'm overly careful with my electronics so it's worked great,. She's hard as hell on them since she hates smartphones, would rather have a old flip phone, and just drops it, leaves it on the kitchen counter while she bakes, all sorts of stuff and her's doesn't have a scratch.
Love Otterbox and definitely buy thru Amazon. Save your money

I have the otterbox defender for my galaxy 1 and it was a dirt and dust/lint magnet and it always made my screen dirty! but I gotta say it saved my phone many times and that's what it was made for!

Any one using the commuter with a GSM gnex + samsung original extended battery ?

I really like the case but it definitely adds a bit of bulk. Look at the difference between these two phones.
Great case tho. I really like it.

New Case Needed

Currently using the Aegis on my T989 and love the protection - But it does add a ton on bulk to the phone, making in/out of jeans and other pockets damn near impossible - Any suggestions on a case that offers similar protection in a slimmer profile?

Check out this item I found on eBay: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=320938021379
Looks pretty legit and slimmer but idk body gloves usually aren't that big lol

I have the Incipio Samsung Galaxy S2 Silicrylic Case.
It's pretty good in my opinion. For it being silicone and a hard polycarbonate shell it's not too bulky at all.
Easy to grip in-hand and it's easy to get out of my pockets.
Hope either of our posts helped you find a great case for this amazing device!

Ballistic case.

T-Mobile D30. Great little case IMO.

Ordered these 4 cases off Ebay this week to try out.

This one looks to be a Ballistic SG ripoff but the price was right:
You can see that it does not drop down on the top like the SG
and this one that looks like it could be near CyaN1de proof. (I'm a bit hard on my gadgets)

Go with the body glove case. It's slim and looks incredible while providing excellent protection. I can't even count the number of times I've dropped my phone but it doesn't matter because this case works really well. Anything thicker is overkill.

whats with the extremely black soft keys? I have a white GS2 but the keys dont look that dark.

His GS2 is not white. It's black. He just has a white sticker on the front. The earpiece grill at the top is a dead giveaway. On the white one it is silver. I used to have the same sticker on mine but got sick of it.

Yeah, it's a white decal from decalgirl. I kind of like the two tone black and white look. Plus it hides the ugly samsung and tmobile branding so it looks cleaner.
The only downside is that it is raised from the screen so wiping oil is a little more difficult

I have been using the Ballistic SG almost exclusively since receiving the cases. The biggest bulk is obviously the bumper corners but really protects the phone when it manages to slip out of my hand.
I ended up picking up a Body Glove case when I was in the US and really liked it other than the fact that it would cause my screen protector to bubble in the corner.
I only tried the mesh backed case for a few minutes to check fitment so I can not say too much about it other than it does look really nice on the phone.

Recommend a case!!

Hello people
Need a case for my shiney new S3!! I did have an S1 up to 2 days ago but it did not survive an encounter with a concrete car park! 2 months from the end of my contract!!! Anyways..
The forum has fried my brain with the number of different cases available / opinions / problems so I decided it might just be easier to ask! Sooooo.. what case do you have and would you recommend it? I want something that going to protect my phone (but not entomb it like an otterbox) and keep the phone looking smart, that means a BIG no no to all those crazy designs out there (Urban armor I'm talking to you). Just to make it a little more difficult I'm in the UK..!
Any help would be much appreciated!

Read all the reviews on Amazon as well. Besides the price, most people have never used or seen the case before so you're not dealing with Fanboys although I've become one since it's still the best all around case over my other 5 or 6 although I have a UAG on the way that may give it a run.....but even buying it used it was twice the price as the Acase when I purchased it.

I also just purchased an Urban Armor Gear (UAG) case for my phone. It looks like it gives good protection with a cool design instead of some of those cases that look like a bloated whale. http://www.urbanarmorgear.com/collections/samsung But I got mine through amazon. I'll post pics when it arrives.

I know it's expensive, but I really like the new Zagg Invisible Shield High Definition screen protector. It just about dissapears on the phone, it's a lot smoother than most of the other non-glass screen protectors and it doesn't have as much orange peel as the others.

I am loving my Otterbox Defender. Beware though: it is very chunky. Mind you I like this - it makes the phone look and feel like a very expensive power tool; something you used on an exploration expedition!

It's pretty cool, the texture feels like fine sand paper which makes it really easy to grip. I recommend this type of case for people with small hands like myself.

Never had to, usually at&t has plenty. They actually blamed it on Hurricane Sandy, said interrupted deliveries.

I got a cheap one for 7 off ebay & ordered the Samsung White Note 2 case from mobilecityonline.com for $19.99. I'm going to not go case crazy like I did on the SGS3.

i don't normally get a case since i usually hate most that ive had, but i actually love the samsung tpu case. it is super thin, good coverage, rubber sides, plastic back that resembles what the phone looks like underneath, and lip that goes over the screen. you can get it 50% off on samsungs website with the coupon code, so $15. totally worth it.

its thin enough that you may mistake it for there being no case on there at all, just like the samsung tpu cases for the GS3. heres a thread with lots of pix and review for it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1970161

Nobody thought of buying a case or at least looking for your 1 before you got the phone?

This is why I always wait a bit to purchase my electronics. It makes everything easier to have a bit of patience.

Why does everyone dislike the flip cover case? It seems like decent protection and not bulky at all?

I can't speak for everyone but I know a disadvantage is that it blocks the notification light, making it useless to have.

Seriously, I might give it a go. As long as you can leave the flip cover folded over the back of the device for the times you want to be able to see the led notification then I should be fine. But I dont plan on getting a screen protector and for throwing it in my pockets or laptop bag the flip cover might do its job in protecting the big screen.
