I am looking for protection, and feel. I hate the otterbox defender, I don't like the plastic feeling to it. I want a good case with a kickstand, a glass covering and protection. Anyone know of something like this?
So you want something like the defender or not as bulky?
Trident Kraken is similar to the defender http://www.tridentcase.com/shop-pro...xus/kraken-ams-case-samsung-galaxy-nexus.aspx

I have a siedo active case with a kickstand that I don't use anymore it seems like a pretty solid case. If your interested. bought it for ~24$ its a nice case but added bulk that I didn't like.

I have a friend with and iPod touch with a fairly thin hard case that has a kickstand. That would be awesome to have. Does anyone know of a case like this?
Does any one know of a thin hard plastic case (possibly to add a diy stand)?
What about a good small portable stand?
Thanks for the help.

I have the Defender and its awesome, but it makes the phone pretty bulky.
The kraken series for the TB is shipping now in red and pink!

I've never seen one of those cases, they look pretty sweet!!!!
Says in the description that it comes with a belt-clip/holster, guess I'll order the green when it comes in stock, if they don't add much bulk over the Seidio Active I'm using now..
I just received the Trident Aegis case, in black, for my TB and can tell you this is one very high quality case. I had an Otterbox Commuter for my DINC and it was kinda cheesy for the price. The Aegis is what I'd consider the equivalent of the OB Commuter, but much higher quality. If anyone is sitting on the fence deciding between the Otterbox Defender and this newly released Kraken, I'd lean towards the Kraken.
I'd like to get the Aegis case - anyone know of any coupon codes?
What an awesome looking case! Great find I like that it has the dust covers over the mic and cam. And here I was all set to buy an Otterbox Defender case tomorrow lol.
The Seidio Defense case they sell at Best Buy under the name PT is pretty solid as well, it has a rubber covering over the cam that you just flip around when you need to use it, but I had to pass on it since it has no built in screen protector. I enjoy having a completely wrapped phone.
After perusing the Aegis cases, I gotta say I love the color/pattern scheme of it, but I would prefer the protection the Kraken offers, though I'm not as big on the Kraken look. Such a tough choice!

Those of you with either case - how bad is it with lint? I heard these cases are terrible with lint.

I have an Aegis on my Nook Color, and it does attract lint on the rubber bits. Wouldn't be a huge deal for me as I don't put mine in my pocket normally (I use the belt clip on my phone pretty much all the time).
Anybody who ordered the Aegis for the TB, did it have a clip included, or is it just the case only?
Aegis series is just the case... I use it with the Seidio Active Holster I bought...
How do the Kraken series cases compare with the Otterbox Defender? Was holding out for the Otter, but now these have intrigued me.

So the Aegis fits the Seidio Active holster without any issues? I've got one of those already (and a Seidio/Patriot case/holster, and a Case-Mate-Barely there, and a... I see a pattern here, Case addiction is a bad thing, lol).

I just recieved my Aegis case. It's a good case. I'm coming from an HTC Eris with Otterbox dual layer case. This case isn't dual layer, but it's dual sided, and seems tougher around the corners where contact is most likely to be made. It looks good, feels good in the hand. It does add bulk and will set you back $20-30. The heft of this device with the case is closing on half a pound!
Can you post some pics

It does perfect! I use the Aegis case and Seidio Active Holster.
I wanna get a otterbox case which would be good commuter or defender? Has anyone using these case? Are they lint magnet? Cause my incipio silicrylic is lint magnet.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
I have both and they're both great cases. I do feel a bit of a creak when I have the commuter case with the slim battery but not the extended. Its not really aa big deal. Honestly, they're both great cases and you can't go wring with neither. Personally I like the Defender better
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
The Defender is built like a tank. I had a friend who used to demo it by throwing her phone across the store (iPhone) and it never got damaged.
There isn't really anything special about the Commuter. It's just a standard two piece but you pay for the Otterbox name. The Incipio double is nicer.
Hey. I currently have a cheap 2$ case from Ebay. The problem with it, that it doesnt have a good feeling, I mean its not comfortable to hold the phone, and I dont like how it feels. I am looking to buy a case from the hiqh quality brands : Otterbox, Cae Mate, Incipio, SGP... I realy cant decide which one of them to buy. As I mentioned before, I want the case to have a good feeling in the hand and it has to be comfortable to hold...
Thanks..
I just ordered a Ringke SLIM Case, after doing a lot of research on cases that pay attention to the "feel". I haven't received it yet, so all I have to go on is the videos on YouTube. Runner up was the Incipio Feather, which was actually a little cheaper. I'm hoping this is a case where you pay a little extra to get a better quality product. We'll see.
It is a hugely subjective feeling. Does the Nexus feel big in your hand? Can you handle a case that will add a bit of thickness to it? If you want protection, then all of the slim cases like the Feather and SLIM won't function in that way. If you want a relative slimness, with good in-hand feel, and protection, I'd recommend the Seidio Surface or the Active (my favorite), with the Kickstand, since the design allows for it to hide while you hold it.
I like the incipio case that verizon sells and it fits with the extended battery too.
^^^ Agreed. The Incipio Silicrylic is an awesome case with great protection. Its a tad loose on the back of my gsm gnex but it fits great none the less. And they have a wide array of colors

i have the Ringke SLIM Case and i think its ok. but the protection sucks. one drop and the phone will probably get messed up pretty bad. i only have it because it came with my phone when i bought it used. but if you like a case that is really slim and doesn't add much bulk and feels nice. i think its a good case. i really miss the cruzerlite cases. they are good protection and they have good grip. i would give up my case for one of those in a heart beat. lol
Edit: here is some pics if it helps.
I've got one of those cheapo s-shape TPU cases and it feels great in the hand.
Thanks for the comments, guys. I think I am gonna get the SGP case. I watched some reviews on Youtube and It looks great..

Good choice. I've got pretty much all the most popular cases from the Ringke slim, to the incipio cases, a bunch of nice Mercury TPU cases. And my favorite for overall fit, feel and protection is probably the SGP Ultra Hybrid...

Guys, has anyone bought this case: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Design-Craf...897&pid=100015&prg=1006&rk=1&sd=261094047096& ? How does it feels in a hand? Please, post some photos...

Cruzerlite tpu cases from Amazon are good and cheap.... And make you look like an Android nerd. Just got my wife and I a couple a few weeks ago. They had a buy 2 get one free sale at that time.

Any bumper cases out there for this phone? Really looking for a case which doesn't mess up the look of the phone
I have a black cruzerlite case that I got from amazon. It adds almost no bulk to the phone, and looks great! It's grippy, but doesn't stick to your pocket like a silicone case. I paid $13, with shipping.
U can have the diztronic one. It gives the phone a classy look indeed

i've been really happy with the Incipio silicrylic hybrid case.
it's pretty rugged and i've had numerous drops without a scratch or anything. everything's covered and the buttons are easy to push.
i had the casemate hybrid before. that one was pretty good too but i didn't care for how the lip around the screen was grey.
Hi, i wanna buy a case for the s3,
i'm Debating between 3 case,
1.speck candy shell
2.otterbox
3.Case Mate Tough
I'd like to hear the Advantages and Disadvantages of each
tnx!
I have owned the otterbox defender and the commuter series. I am much happier with the commuter. It has a dual layer and the exposed layer is hard which I like better because the defender series had a soft shell that streched out and looked bad. Plus the commuter series is much smaller. It feels less bulky and mire high end.

No for otterbox defender, it streches pretty easily

so what yes?
some one told me not for the otterbox becuse it's scrath,the other one told me that is good case.
someone else wrote not for the speck candy i'm Confused more than before
I am assuming you have already looked at the UAG case. If not, definitely check it out. I have a few friends that switched from Otterbox to the UAG and they love it. Good luck
no, i didn't hear about UGA
but he looks a very "massive" case and uncomfortable to carry the s3, put hin in the pocket etc
Not the case at all.
Not nearly as bulky as you'd think, and slides easily in and out of your pocket.
Great protection as well.
Does it have to be drop protection case?
Ive had quite a few. My fav as of now is the zoogue tpu, seidio surface, podera transformer case
Sent from my Galaxy S3 using neighbors wifi
Check out the Case Mate Phantom. It's a bit sleeker than the Otterbox but just as protective.

Griffin Survivor for drop protection and true dust protection. Mine stays on my hip crawling in basements, crawlspaces and attics everyday. Take the case off and still looks brand new.
Or wait for the Otterbox Armor series... Said to be "this spring", I ain't holding my breath for it though.
