apparently there are no many options out there
the tmobile one is bulky and heavy
i found some on amazon which are light weighted and thin but they say the are not cut precisely especially at the button to the way that covers the mic
any idea ?suggestions ?
D30 is what a lot of people are using, Incipio just came out with some, Otterbox = no, Trident by the end of the month, and Seidio pretty soon.
Oh, I'm using the Body Glove Revel (T-Mobile) with a Realook and loving it.

what about the Belkin translucent grippable protection from target ?
Trident has always been a reputable case provider for my previous phones. Check out tridentcase.com. I believe the T-Mobile version will be out soon. Their cases are very stylish and protective in my oppinion.

My tpu case just came the mic hole seems to be properly aligned now. It wraps tightly around the phone no loose parts. its not a lint collector either.

I personally hated the D30... the power button was difficult to press with it on. I bought a $9 tpu from Amazon and IMHO think its a million times better... my Michael hole was off but nothing a razor blade couldn't handle. IV ordered the incipio feather case (more my style) and it should be here tomorrow. Ill post some pics when I have hands on.

Black. I always rock black... well, my white i9100 I had a silver breathe case.. but I like to keep it neutral. I LOVE the breathe case. As previously stated, not much in drop protection, but its slim and light and doesn't even feel like you have a case on at all... that's what I look for in a case... I hate the clucky stuff.

Yea, normally I do black too, but figured I'd switch it up for this.
I hate bulky cases too and just want something for a little added protection.

You can just try the white body body glove that tmobile is selling. It fits nice and very well. In my opinion its the best that I have ever seen.

I had the otterbox commuter for my sensation and loved it. For my s2 I was looking for something comparable, and the best so far I've tried is the incipio case. It comes with a rubber inner and a nice smooth outer hard case. Comes with a screen protector too. Very solid case, no complaints from me. Looks sharp too
Swyped from my iPhone eater

I have the Ballistic SG case and I think it's the best protective hybrid case.
Everything feels solid, no loose fitting silicone, and looks cool. Pretty much a tank; I've dropped my phone twice since I've had it, and I haven't even flinched.
The Incipio Silicrylic looks nice (prob best looking hybrid), but in that video review I saw (posted in this forum), the really loose fitting silicone on the sides would drive me nuts. Plus I saw how the dude could pop the phone right out of the case like a cheap silicone case... wouldn't trust it on a serious drop.
I am using the white body glove case and no complaints so far.
D3O
the D3O Dual is very nice!!!!!!!!!
I too got the body glove case for my new s g s 2, but I've noticed that the front corners are exposed and vulnerable to damage if I drop it.
I got a purple Diztronic TPU case from Amazon & it's really nice. I also have the white body glove case, but I don't use it all that much cause I'm just not crazy about white :/
hi my fellow XDA members i recently have been going through cheap cases of eBay because i cant find the rite one.i bought one last night by diztronic and it looks promising,i also bought one called case mate i seen on YouTube and that also looks promising but expensive! im going to send one of them back.my perfect case would be a tight fitting gel that is durable but not tpu but more of a stiff gel.anyone come across anything that resembles that? thanks

Both are high quality TPU cases. Im using the Diztronic now. Have 3 Cruzerlites on order waiting to be shipped.The Cruzerlites have ridges on the side for grip and a cool android on the back. Diztronic is matte and gloss and offers good protection. May replace the diztronic after i get the cruzerlite...haven't seen anything like it.

Casemate Tough or Otterbox Commuter coupled with Carbon Fiber Ghost Armor & your choice of screen protector. I've spent Alot of money on cases/skins and this is the best combo for me. TPU'S are also a great value for light protection but my daily setup is the CM Tough & Carbon Fiber Ghost Armor with a Ghost Armor screen protector. These companies customer service is amongst the best in the industry.

The Diztronic TPU case is awesome. I just got mine today and it fits nicely, no shifting cutouts are perfect and adds a good visual appeal to the phone.
i exchanged a noname TPU case for a casemate barely there and much happier about it...phone weighs almost half and case is good enough for light protection.
besides, it's quite classy, TPU or casemate tough don't do justice to the Nexus...

+1 The Matte Black back is much nicer than I had expected to be, and the glossy rim around the front bezel is very generous, and the overall feel of the case is quite classy IMO.
Hey guys I wanted to buy a case mate pop case cuz I like how it looks but I remember hearing somewhere on here that they aren't selling them right now because they are making revisions on them. I seen a few on amazon still and I been tempted to buy one but does anyone know what these revisions are? Like is there something really wrong with the cases?

The current 1G version doesn't have the hole for the camera's microphone. The CM Toughcase and Barely There version does. I don't know why it wasn't included in the first iteration. Laziness, perhaps?
I'm using the OtterBox Defender Case. If you're not a fan of bulky cases it's probably not for you but, it's perfect for what I need it for.
Damn. To me it does seem like laziness lol I guess ill just wait for the revision model

I've had both (Although I had the Commuter for my old LG Optimus One) and I currently have the Seidio Active (Without the kickstand) and the Seidio Active is much much better. The silicone and plastic is much higher quality and it doesn't lose it's shape like most Otterboxes too. The only upside with buying the Otterbox is that is comes with a screen protector (A pretty crappy one anyway) and that's about it. The Seidio case is much better.

By the way does the case get a lot of lint on it and does it get stuck inside pockets and such that's my main concern lol
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
The Seidio case picks up a little bit of lint, a LOT less than the Otterboxes do. Half the time for me it doesn't pick lint up but when it does it's barely noticeable and wipes off really easily. Can't same the same about the Otterbox though, I had a hell of a time with lint problems when I had one for my old phone.

Do yourself a favor and also check out the Trident Kraken(Excellent Video Review Here). It has an awesome kickstand, tons of accessories that can be bought(11 bucks for a windshield mount? DONE!) and you can take it out of the poly-carb box and use just the silicon sleeve when you don't need it. Plus from everything I read online, Trident offers far superior protection than SEIDO or Otterbox. And the rotatable belt clip is way better than a holster, to me anyway. Give it a look, love mine!
Also if you want slightly less protection(and thickness) consider the Trident Aegis.

Of course the Trident Kraken offers superior protection when compared to the Seidio Active and Otterbox Commuter but it also adds a lot more bulk to your phone. (If you're ok with that, then go for the Kraken! It is the most protective case out of the three!).
And I wasn't hating on the Commuter, I was just stating what I had encountered when I had one with my old phone.
I decided to go with the Seidio Active case with the kickstand. It should arrive tomorrow so I'll update you guys on how it is.

Got the Seidio case in the mail today I love it but the only thing is that it doesn't have any opening for the 3 pin thing on the right side of the phone. I don't know if the Otterbox Commuter has an opening for it.

Kraken does not have them either, nor does any high-protection case I have seen.
Would have to say the seidio active is my choice. After i tested it the hard way, due to me being sleep deprived. I was working inside my car engine bay and take off the phone due to getting in the way at times. I just so happened to forget it was in their and then started to drive away to get a drink. I finally realized what happen then went searching for it the case was scratch to heck, but the phone was safe

I have what I'm told is a Commuter for sale.. $20 shipped 405-259-2797

I just got my t-mobile GS3 today! I love it so far coming from a Sensation.
Looking here in the accessories section is quite overwhelming. Can a few of you recommend a good (not very expensive) screen protector (prefer dry application type, but not necessary)?
Also what is a good basic case for protection? Maybe a decent (but not expensive) TPU case and also one of those leather flip cases?
Im not new to XDA and I realize that there is TONS of info on screen protectors and cases here, but there is almost too much and the threads are like 30-90 pages long.
So if a few of you could just recommend inexpensive good screen protectors and 2 different types of cases I would really appreciate it
in the mean time ill keep searching, but there is just way too much info
Thanks!
Urban armor gear cases all the way. The screen protector included is pretty good. Better than some ive used in the past. If not look into the seidio surface, love that case too

Ive been looking on amazon though the reviews. looks like there are basically 2 versions. one is flat matte and the other is high gloss finish. I like the look of the flat black better, but some reviews say its kind of slippery. The high gloss version reviews say its not as slippery...
do you have either one? any suggestion? have you tried the flat matte?
I have the zoogue tpu which its pretty much the same as diztronics.. Mine is matte black and has nice grip, it is not as grippy as rubber but its good. Keeps the phone's slim design. The gloss i assume has better grip cause of the stickiness on the gloss. But the scratches would show alot compared to matte. I Dont have a gloss tpu so cant put my finger on the differences.

Although I haven't seen too many cases up close, I think I would agree. The Diztronic case is slim enough to easily slide into a pocket, it fits the phone really well, and it doesn't cover anything that shouldn't be covered. I had a cheap one from Koodo first, but I hated how it covered the power and volume buttons. The Diztronic case was cheaper and looks a lot better too...just wished they had more colour options available.

I thought it was a cool case at firsst..... but then it became to cumbersome pressing the buttons & I didnt like the fact that the case made the phone a little wider. for protection the otterbox cases are the way to go but they cann be bulky, I bought myself a diztronic case and I love the fact that its fits perfectly on the phone with access to the buttons and no extra width added to the sides of the phone :good:
I bought one of the fishbone cases and am very happy so far with it. I guess it's a hybrid case in a sense.
The Diztronic is the best case I have ever had, my wife has no complaints with hers either.
