After spending hours of looking at sites and video reviews for case for my S3; I decided to go with the Seidio Active Case with the holster. Great protection for the back, sides, top and bottom; a kickstand. the best thing about it is it seems to offer great protection without adding too much bulk. The holster/belt clip is heavy duty as well.While the retail is $54.99 Versio Mobile has it for $34.99.
S3 Blue Pebble :good::good::good:
I would have to say Otter box commuter is by far the best case for the buck and offers amazing protection.

Completely agree while we all like value and bang for the buck why try to save a few bucks on something that is ultimately protecting your $200-$650 investment quality is the way to go, Otterbox is amazing.

I purchased a case by "Acase" that I'd put up against all those and when I got it, I paid $12 including the shipping and handling. I have a Seidio Active on my Rezound and love it but the Acase is just as good.... Minus the kickstand, that's definitely a bonus your Seidio has.
Currently not being productive.
There's a case at the verizon wireless stores that is black and has a kickstand and an included belt holster.. I had the same case for my iphone and then my GS3.. i would never use anything else, its thin, durable and amazing.

I don't disagree that the Otterbox offers excellent protection; I was looking for something not as bulky because I am either at my desk or in the Datacenter and much of the time I'm using the phone for email and text anyway and for me the Sedio offered a middle-ground for comfort and protection.
I bought the shell case. Same brand I used on my Rezound. Works awesome

The cheap eBay Bumper case I posted about on another board arrived today and it looks quite good until you pick it up and notice how thin and light it is which kind of goes hand in hand with it's massively small £3 price. It does the job fine on a S2 with the stock battery though but with extended battery the lip surrounding the front bezel is less pronounced.
It is not great with the Zenis dock either as it doesn't sit flush whereas the Zenis one does. I was expecting it to fit fine but the bottom is not sitting nicely like the Walnutt bumper does.
So far I think the Walnutt case looks the best and also feels like it's worth some ££ too. I especially like the lip bearing the Walnutt brand name on the back, it kind of completes an otherwise baron backside, something that the SGP NeoHybrid EX bumper lacks although I'm sure the SGP feels every bit as good and expensive as the Walnutt ones.
Considering the Walnutt bumper is thicker than the cheap eBay one I was surprised it was exactly the same thickness when put on the phone, I put it on my dad's S2 with stock battery to compare in the pics below.

Wow 10 pounds for shipping to Spain! What a RIP OFF. I'll write the seller and see what he says. I doubt though that he'll change the price. I've had books and computer parts delivered for less!

Over the past couple weeks, I have been working with Mighty Pouch and making a custom neoprene sleeve for my Galaxy Nexus. They can pretty much do any custom case for anything. Ive been working with Scott Holmes from Mighty Pouch on this project and it was completed on Thursday. I ordered it and just received it today. The pouch can come in a select variety of colors, @ $14.99 and for any custom logo, its an additional $9.99. I am quite please with how it turned out and the material and stitching are top quality. The custom logo was not ironed on, they used a cad cut vinyl logo so it will not peel off. The phone fits in the case snug and the inside lining feels very soft and protective.

Nice looking pouch, but do you think that it is worth the 30 dollars (without tax included) that you spent.
Its was 29.99$ shipped and figuring the quality and ability for any custom logo, I feel it was definitely worth the price.

I don't normally say this but the quality is really crap. It is cheap but still not worth the money
The neoprene pouch has had a price reduction to 14.99$ and as far as the quality and build of it, definitely worth it.
Thanks for the heads-up... but
Looks like a great case for the Nexus.
But, $10 for USPS shipping?
Ouch!

How's the GN fit in the pouch? It looks a lot bigger than the GN in your pic.
Thanks.

Has anyone used either of these our know anything about them?

Used the Aegis on the Sprint Galaxy S-II and it was great. Fit, protection, button worked smoothly without forcing. The only thing I wasn't crazy about was the styling. I prefer the more asymmetrical, slightly industrial look. Based on the pics, looks like they went even further with those styling ques for the S-III, but I'm sure the build and protection are going to still be top notch. If you can put up with the 'design by committee' impression the new Aegis shouts, I'm sure you won't have any regrets with it's quality and performance. Don't know much about the Body Glove,... but at least it looks symmetrical, and for me, that's at least a start. Spend some time on YouTube, there are a lot of un-boxings and reviews for many of the S-III cases out there. Good Luck. Any reason the Otterbox Commuter didn't make your short list?
Just didn't like the look of it really. Off had body glove cases in the past, but they've been hard shell cases. I checked in you tube and i just can't tell if the body glove is really silicone like and attracts dust and lint or if it's more rigid? I'll probably end up getting the aegis. I like the sleek profile of it and the design is pretty nifty. Thanks for the info!

I currently have the Trident Aegis case on my Galaxy S3. This is my second trident case and love the case, I like the styling of it and I also like all the options on colors. I do think the trident for the price offers a better protective case than the others at similiar prices. The only issue I would state is the outer layer (hard cover), is a tad bit too tight and feels like it might snap trying to get it on (although its not nearly as bad as trying to remove a otter box defender) which was not a issue with my GS2 trident case, other than that, the buttons function perfectly, it looks good (to me at least) and its protected. Good Luck.
am trying to get the best protection . for my GS3 . i had the obex great protection but made my phone sound like ****. looking at the griffin, box ballistic HC which i had on my EVO. or maybr wait for the lifebox?
I'm a huge fan of the casemate phantom.
Ive heard u can take off the "membrane" covering the speaker on the obex case

Try out the otterbox or Kayscase. Otterbox has more protection, larger and more expensive while kayscase makes ones that are slimmer and cheaper.
The Griffin Survivor suffers from some sounds issues. I took the membrane out over the speaker, problem solved.
Other then that it's a great case, I gladly demo the drop protection by throwing and dropping for the heck of it.

if you're looking for a protective case with delicate design, a good try on DSstyles. The cases from them work well for my S3 so far.

Otterbox Defender
I really like my otterbox defender. Very sturdy skeleton includes a durable screen protector similar to like gumdrop cases and shock absorber for the back. the rubber outside is nice to grip and its not the silicone stuff that attracts dust and hair like some do. a little pricey but worth it if you're clumsy like me. also comes in dozens of colors.
SPIGEN have a nice case for S3, little pricey tho

Got one of these as I'm an electrician so wanna keep my phone from getting marked and banged etc at work. Bargain price, fits perfectly, can't complain! Even comes with a screen protector!

Hmmm, they all look remarkably similar in design & if it's not patented ...
Got mine from an Ohio-based company by the name of Fintie - purchased indirectly on eBay for $9 shipped free 7 fast, I like it - fittings are good & no complaint (better than Spigen's Hybrid Ultra. Maybe a bit "bulky" for some but feel solid & non-slip in my hands.
It's supposed to be impact/shock absorbing - even if the kick stand break over time on repeated usage, the soft TPU case can still be used on its own.

I ordered mine two days ago and it should be here tomorrow. There's a bunch of similar cases that all look to be OEMed by the same factory, with minor modifications to the kickstand area and "grooves" in the silicone. Google caught me off guard - I ordered my Nexus on Monday with a "ships by Dec 11", so I thought I would have it next week; it shipped the same day and arrived yesterday. I'm not crazy about the holster design (no positive retention), but for $9 I can always keep it as a spare after my Seidio Dilex arrives. I've also got a Ballistic SG Maxx on pre-order, which could very well get cancelled if I don't hate the kick stand on the Dilex (I'm not a fan of kick stands).
