a lot of rave about this case and i must agree. minimalistic cases that don't add a lot of bulk are the way to go!
i'm definitely ordering one when i get mine. thanks for the pics. i can clearly see how high it raises in the front.
have you had any issue with the case scratching the back of your phone? or if it decreases signal/GPS? (see this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=764406)

This case fits perfectly. I haven't noticed any difference with gps either, it wasnt working before the case and still isnt working. As for the case scratching the phone, I dont think that will happen because the case isnt hard enough to scratch and I still have the plastic on the back of my phone.

i have this case and it does fit well, i'm not a fan of the back, but alas this is really all we've got right now. i also noticed that i have scratches on the front bezel near the top and bottom of the phone. i think maybe dust or debris get trapped there and just start to rub. i dont think there is a way to fix it though. i had the same issue with cases and the metal bezel on my iphone.

What is this case made from, and how does it feel? Just curious

Its gel/rubber, it feels really good and durable. Adds a nice grip to the phone...

I think most people have found them at AT&T Stores, though they can be found online if you search hard enough.
See: hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=761355

I picked up a body glove from Best Buy. I waited until they unboxed them and tied it before I went and checked out. Great fit, flexible but thick and offers decent protection. Not what you would get from a hard case, but one of the better gloves I have tried. 24 plus tax.

This is the case I am using until Otterbox releases something I like better. I am not too sure I need an otterbox but I have no issues with this case (body glove)
It fits just fine and offers enough protection for my needs.

I picked up the gel case from samsung's website that says galaxy s on the back, it is pricy at 30 bucks but it fits and looks awesome and has actual raised buttons which is great,i had an all black one but this is a sweet phone and I want it to look sweet, if you spent 200 or more to get a sweet phone spend 30 bucks and get the nicest case made that looks awesome as well, ya know what maybe it was 20 bucks can't remember

I agree, It doesn't even protect the sides all the way...
I wouldn't buy it

Kinda cool how they integrated the kick stand, but I agree its kinda a bad wrap around the phone.

It does cover more then the T-Mo Clear case w/kickstand though and for $9 i think i may just get it to try it out.
On a side note.... i stopped by the Verizon store today to see if the sweet Fascinate Kickstand case would fit on my Vibrant. It did fit almost perfect except the speaker was block and the camera was half blocked. I think im going to order this korean one and then if that doesnt work i may just buy the fascinate one and modifiy it to work with my vibrant. It really felt and looked awesome... just wish it was 100% perfect match

*My previous post got deleted by accident w/all the other 24 hr data during yesterday's maintenance*
I think that seller was selling 3 diff colors; black, white, and pink(?). I bought the black one 3 wks ago and recieved it about a wk ago. Initially, I thought that it was going to be shiny hard plastic case but to my pleasant surprise, it wasn't. The exterior is covered in a thin layer of hard rubber, covering the black hard shiny plastic underneath, while the inside of it is slightly padded. It looks a lot better in person than in pics.
Is the kickstand serving its purpose? Hell yea, it is...it makes watching movies on my dope SAMOLED screen that much more awesome The hard rubber makes for a good grip so it won't easily slip out of your palms like it sometimes would w/out it and it gives the phone an overall slick/cool (IMO) look. The only downside so far is that I'm getting some very small worn out spots where the hard rubber has rubbed off but it's not a big deal though.
Pics or it didn't happen, you say? Well, check 'em out !

Awesome TEE!!!!! That's exactly the response I was looking for! I went ahead and ordered mine last nite! Thanks so much! cant freakin wait!

No prob...it's a great investment. The seller also threw in a surprise gift--an extra clear jelly case!

just wanted to bump this thread and want to say i absolutely love this case. its slim and doesn't add any heft to the phone. i also like how the company added some soft padding on the inside of the case so our phones won't get scratched up on the battery case.
only problem is with the extra jelly case they provided; while looking and feeling nice, it's hard to press power button with it on.
at any rate, excellent case.

I purchased one about a week ago. I havent received it yet, but i can wait.

It looks good I just placed an order. thanks for posting pictures.

What case do you have?!

I'm currently using a standard black soft case but am looking for a change of pace.. What are you guys using? What works well for you?

Well, im using a pretty cheap one with kickstand which i really like. Found it on ebay at about USD$7.00. Its double layered, and protects the phone A LOT. Im also using a Zagg Screen Protector too. I want to keep my phone as close to new as possible.

Yeah i hear ya lol i got mine for cheap on ebay too, i have an iphone screen protector on LOL it fits because well... the ENTIRE iphone is the size of our screen *flex* but anyway

Consist of two parts
Has a rotating clip that can be converted to a stand
And the sliding parts that house the phone can be inserted in both sides if you want the screen to be inside and protected.
I bought it from local market ... Only 6$

Q&A or Accessories would have been the correct sub-forum for this thread, maybe a mod will move it for us.
I started with a OB Defender, moved to the Trident Kraken, and now I use the OB Commuter. I also have a skin that is made for a 3rd party extended battery, but I have never used the battery or skin.

OB and trident are so expensive lol i feel like any hard case would be fine.. i dont drop my phone lol and $50 is pretty crazy...

I have this case:

Along with a white Fantom tempered glasss screen protector:

Love the combo; looks sweet, quite safe, and an unexpected side effect: the ladies dig it.
(sorry about the pic, my N7 is the only other camera I have at the moment...)

Well.. It depends. If you drop your phone right now and bust the screen you are going to spend way more fixing it. If you drop/scratch/ding your body/screen but dont break it then you are stuck looking at a flawed/ugly phone. With OB or Trident you are most likely not going to have these problems. I have dropped mine over and over but under the case is a flawless phone that looks like it just came out of the box. And under my ZAGG is a screen that has never been touched by a human finger. When I go to sell it, the price will reflect that.
Additionally the port covers are a must for me and are mostly only found on those cases. Just search for the threads on "wont charge / usb not working / etc". My old roommate had to send hers in for a replacement because of issues with the charging port.
You get what you pay for, for sure.

I use the Rearth Ringke Slim, and the Ringbo screen protector from the same company. The case is very slim and low profile, but probably doesn't offer the best protection from a major drop.

Luardi Slim Bumper (Best Bumper So Far)

For the past six months, I've been searching and waiting for the perfect bumper and I think I've finally found it. The other bumpers like Draco and Tedoori have button cutouts that kill the symmetry of the phone's lines. Bumpers like Spigen are plastic and just look terrible.
The one made by Luardi is slim and has nice curves that won't kill the S3's nice curves. I have yet to see someone review it here so :I will post one when I get it.
What do you guys think?

Way too expensive. But looks nice. I hope it has front and back lips so it may help protect the f and b.

Looks great, but way to expensive

Wouldn't exactly say that's anywhere near "Way too expensive". Considering other aluminum bumpers like the Draco Design's one is nearly double the price....

Actually, it's on sale on eBay and you can pick it up for $40. Still pricey but not bad. Hope it's worth it.

Does anyone know things will work with the metal back covers that are on Amazon , if so I'll buy one.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

Metal backs will distort NFC but phone signal is not really affected that much unless your normal signal is bad to begin with.

Looks nice, if it didn't have the grip parts I might consider it.
Overall doesn't seem expensive IMHO

Anyone received theirs yet?

please comment on the signal w case on vs case off

So how is it? Any pictures?

i'm curious, too. Thinking about possibly getting one of these, or Luardi's leather wallet case... i'd prefer staying with something that doesn't increase the bulk of the phone, but also curious about how installing the phone in Luardi's aluminum bumpers goes.

Just ordered mine
Ordered mine from ebag through Amazon for $37. First time it came the case did not look anything like the picture. It was probably a knockoff. Called Ebag and they assured me it was probably mis-packaged my employee so I'm ordering another one.
The attached picture shows the one they sent me. Just a case with a cut out for the buttons.

Pictures
After some crazy Fedex routing, I finally got my bumper. At first, I glance, I was disappointed, because I got the same case as previously mentioned from eBags via Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Luardi-Aluminum-Bumper-Samsung-Galaxy/dp/B00ANWLUO0/). But then when I opened it up more, I realized that this was in fact the aluminum bumper, it just doesn't match the picture that Luardi / Amazon / eBags posted on their order page.
The case is more subdued than in the advertised pictures and the bumps along the size are less pronounced (I prefer that). The one thing they did design-wise was to make the top portion a thin plastic inset to hold the phone in the bumper. It seems to work, but makes the case feel cheaper. It could be that this design allows the bumper to be less bulky without additional securing closures. It looks pretty good, but it isn't as solid as I had hoped, it will creak and flex slightly when squeezed, particularly along the bottom where the plastic inset can be released.
I took some pictures and posted them on dropbox:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/agfy6zj9tk1prni/ceJKB08chh
Let me know if there are any other angles that you want me to take.
I am trying out the case to see whether I am going to keep it. I suspect that Amazon / eBags would still authorize the return since it clearly doesn't match what they are advertising.

Digging the finger grips

Looks cool. I wonder if it's equivalent to Draco bumpers

$1 case lol

*$1.37
I bought 2 because why not. My expactations aren't high but they actually look decent.

I've also ordered one, will post pictures/review as soon as it arrives

Came in yesterday. I'm pleasantly surprised with it all around.
Has a nice metallic color to it with a rubbery texture, fits well, nice and slim, though it's like .05 mm too thick to fit in my dock. Doesn't interfere with my Nillkin tempered glass protector.
It had a gnarly smell at first... It's much better now after 24 hours, but if you put your nose right up to it you can still smell it. Should wear off soon

Nice, thanks for sharing!
I ended up ordering a pouch instead of a case. In India I could order it online for roughly 5 usd
Its pretty good quality, phone fits well. So now I don't have to worry about scratches in my pocket or in the car cup holder.
It has a flap at the back for pulling out your phone which I thought I would cut off but I actually end up using it sometimes. I've attached a pic with the strap fully pulled out as well.

I ordered 2 of these a few days ago. Yeah at that price, it's a no brainer. Scratch protection at least.

I noticed when I lived in Germany that my chinese purchases would take well over a month to arrive, compared to 2-3 weeks in other EU countries. Packages would arrive at my door all at once, even though they were sometimes ordered weeks apart. I think what happens is china packets get stuck at German customs for a while. So that might have something to do with the seller's shipping restrictions - avoiding the hassle.
Here's the same case, albeit for twice the price ($2.60...), but you have more colors to chose from and looks like they ship everywhere: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/10-C...ony-Xperia-Z3-Mini-Z3-Compact/2041321566.html
