Anyone going to pull the trigger on the SGP Modello Case? - Galaxy S III Accessories

Anyone going to pull the trigger on the SGP Modello Case? Appears as it was just released and at a pretty good price ($14.99).
Edges of the phone do not appear to be complete covered in their press shot pictures, but it looks thin and of high quality--used the ultra capsule on the i9100.

looks nice, how's the front look like?

I ordered one but I am in Canada so I am sure someone will post impressions before I get mine delivered.

I ordered the nocturne black and I have the pebble blue phone.

There are pics on the SGP home page. I see some better pics here though

Trigger pulled - like the look of this one. I've ordered the nocturne black for my white S3, will post pics when it arrives here in the UK if nobody else has by then

I ordered the gray for my pebble blue. I ordered a tpu case a week ago but the cutouts were terrible. I was disappointed because I always use tpu cases for my. phones. The sgp is a quality brand so I shouldn't be disappointed.

If they had a dark navy blue, I'd buy one.
I like the look of everything about this case, except the colors.
Black is good, but I'm bored with it.

If someone gets this case and has a full screen protector like Zagg/Best Skins Ever/Skinomi, please post if this case causes the edge to peel.
I really like my Skinomi Techskin, but my TPU case causes it to peel at the edges.

From my experience with tpu cases and screen protectors, the edge of the case pin the sides arent a tight fit so it tends to rub on the screen projector

Just got mine in the mail today and I have mixed emotions about it. I got the frost grey for my pebble blue and the color combo is beautiful. What I ddint like is how slippery the case actually is and that it doesn't fit as snug as I would've hoped. I'm contemplating returning it =\

Cimo tpu case for both LTE/GSM

Anyone purchase this case in any color? Reviews seem real good and it has cut outs for all ports. I just ordered the white on eBay for 7 bucks. I'll update if anyone is interested to know more about it. If anyone owns this case a quick review would be great. Here's the link to the amazon one so everyone can look at the case.

I've got that exact one for my LTE Nexus w/ extended battery. Fits great, adds hardly any bulk plus it provides better grip than stock.
Awesome. You got the white or black? If white, for how long? Hoping the white doesn't go a yellowish tint like I've heard other white tpus get.

White. Only had it for a week but it hasn't turned yellow yet lol.
Is the fit really that good for the LTE? Can you take some up close pics of the screen edges please?
I will once I get mine. But all the reviews on the black on amazon give it real good ratings becuz of fit and cuts. I state black but they are both identical
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
It fits perfect. I have a LTE with extended battery. There is a slight lip so the screen won't touch anything when you lay it face down. No idea where my camera is so I can't take any pics.
is it just me, or do these seem exactly like the Diztronic but without the branding?
This is what it seems like to be honest. The diztronic without branding. I own a matte diztronic and I like it but I've been wanting a white case. Plus the case without the branding is a plus for me.

Thanks. Would appreciate if you can also mention the "bulk" it adds compared to the diztronics. Might be exactly same bulk, less, more... whichever it is, I'm curious to know.
I have both the Diztronic rev 3 case and the white cimo case. If you set the two cases side by side, you can not tell the difference, the Cimo case just does not have the emblem that is on the back. Minus that they are virtually identical. I have the matte black case for the diztronic and i would say that both these cases are the same, jus not branding on the cimo case.
Alright so I got my case today and to me its a diztronic without the icon on the back as mentioned. The case causes a lip so if placed face down on the screen, it will be lying on the case. Side by side they seemed identical as well, diztronic and this case that is.

Speck Candyshell

Anybody else pick this case up?
I got the grey/black from ATT. There was no way this phone was leaving the store naked, so I chose it (free due to a plethora of bull****).
Anyway, this case is actually pretty awesome. VERY slim, yet sturdy. It fits better than I imagined, and I had pretty high hopes. Also, the buttons retain their solid "click" when you press them with ease.
I highly recommend it. ATT has them for the manufacturer's price of $35. I will post pictures if anybody wants.
I looked, but didn't find a similar thread. Please let me know if there is already one!

i had one of these on a one x and my god i didnt think i was ever gona get it out so i went with the casemate that is like the otter comm all black it looks very nice with the white
I was worried about it being tough to get off too, but it's surprising. It's like the hard plastic is flexible to a certain extent, just enough to get the case off.
I do want that case you are talking about. My wife has one for her S2.

I grabbed the same case, along with a Case-mate Pop. The Pop is going back. Love the Speck. Wish they had other colors in the store though. I chose the Speck bc it's a quality case and it slides in and out of my pocket easily.

Best buy didn't have anything good when I looked. Amazon has the best selection, but most of the cases I want are pre order only.

I picked up the grey from the AT&T store as well. I like the contrast with the white phone and the black rubber around the edge, but I agree that the "grey" has some purple in it. Still, I really like the case and I'll only bother to change the color if this one wears out. These have been my favorite cases for my last two phones. They seem durable and offer great protection of all edges.
I wonder if they are making Candyshell Card like the one for iPhone... https://www.speckproducts.com/iphone-case/iphone-4-case/smartflex-card-for-iphone-4s-4.html
I bet they will.
I'm still looking for the candy shell in other colors. I know they make them, but I can't find any for sale.
I wish they would do a black hard part with white rubber. That would look great on my white phone

Man these things are expensive to ship... over $50 for just a case to ship all the way up here to the "great north" - canada. Anyone know if they sell these at any retail stores around here?
Also how does the Pebble/beyou or the green one look with the white one? Wish speck had more color combination... they all seem a bit dull aside from the raspberry pink one.

I have the same setup as the pictures posted. I love this case and all its great protection, and it really feels great in hand. However the rubber bumpers on each corner do require a sleight of hand maneuvering the phone out of pockets.

Edit: I bought mine about 2 weeks ago from CellGuru for $21 shipped in 3 business days.
I have been waiting for the White to go back in stock at Amazon. I didnt want to buy from a 3rd party.
I went ahead and ordered the Black today and I will decide if I am going to cancel the White order when I get the Black one tomorrow.
I hate waiting just to find out I don't like something.:cyclops:
I had an Amazon return last week. It took 4 days from the time I gave the UPS guy my return until the money was back in my account. can't beat that if you have Prime.

I need a screen protector that covers the entire front of the phone, so that nothing is exposed. I work machining metal and would easily mess up any uncovered area. I'm still using my Otterbox defender for work, I want to use this case at all times but not until I find a screen protector that covers the entire front of the screen.

This. Aside from the average screen protector provided, this case is sexier, thinner, and more ergonomic in my hands than any of the otterboxs. The smooth matte finish is fantastic with great grips on the side to make sure you have a nice grasp of your phone.
I think eventually, since this screen protector does not curve at the edges, nor does it completely cover the screen, I will purchase a higher grade protector for that final bit of comfort. This is a fantastic case that guards the phone at every angle.
My heart still wants a UAG though..

Ok I just got the case. It's great so far. I love the rubbery texture and feels like I'm holding my phone naked. That's how light and thin it is. If you're expecting otterbox protection then this isn't ur case. But I didn't buy it for that. I got it for it's low profile stylish look. The plextonium material is sturdy and well built. It snaps on very easily. If ur curious about the camera port in the back, yes the hole is raised enough that u can slide the phone on it's back. The only downside is while the sides are protected, the top and bottom edges are not. But all in all it's really not bad for $25. Just wish it came out w/ a white case.
^^Do you have screen protector installed? If so does the case lift up the edge?
No i don't have the screen protector installed. I wouldn't use it either, it doesnt feel right.

My CruzerLite Android Case (Andy) on my Pebble Blue

Some other may have posted this before but here is mine. Just received it on Friday. Also have a Tech Armor Protective Screen on it. I like it, fits good. I usually do Diztronic TPU Cases, I have the Matte Blue in that.. but either way here
How do you like that tech screen protector. I just installed xtremeguards full body and while you can't even tell there's a screen protector on there. I have the foggy waterstreaks on the top of the phone!! Even after not using the phone for 24 hours!!! Glad it was only 5 bucks shipped.
