Not bad, but normally you get what you pay for.
When you're talking about protecting a $500 device, why not shell out the extra $10 and just get a REAL Otterbox. They're awesome cases, you must know that already...and it's like insurance.
If/when you have kids, do you really want the cheapest car-seat you can find, or do you want the best protection?
My thoughts...thanks nonetheless, for the link.
Pay the extra 10 for the real thing. Saving and cheaping out on this is silly.

I don't think Otterbox is making one for our phones.
Looks like a good alternative!

Unfortunate, I always thought it was being worked on.
I might buy this just to try this out. Im waiting for Ballistic to make one of their HC series for us. As of now they replied saying that they have no plans to. I really need extremely durable case.

I guess those iphone cases are making them money. Oh well, sticking to my Seidio I guess.
Well I just purchased. Once it comes in Ill do a review. Thanks for the heads up OP
Does this ebay case have a built-in screen protector? I can't tell from the pics and it's nowhere in the description.

I don't think it does. Atleast it doesnt look like it.
- I emailed the seller, but I doubt it does!
- Seller replied and it does not come with any screen protector.

They make one for the ATT (regular and skyrocket) and International versions of the SGS2, but not the T989
saw the white version of this case. I was intrigued but I just couldnt deal with the bulk. As it is I have an Incipio Silicrilic that I find too bulky. I know we want protection for our phones but I just like less bulk. Cant wait for real pics though maybe I'll change my mind.

Yes it does, you just have to modify it a bit. If this case doesnt do well I might buy a defender and do some work to it.
Edit- However there is a post about the infuse that needs much less modifying.
Just FYI
**UPDATE**
I know not many of you are into the minimal protection/"Flare" cases, so there's another way you can contribute to Case-mate extending the T989 case lineup. Goto Case-mate's Facebook page and click on the Feedback link on the left column. Search for T989 Cases and vote for it. Obviously, you can see where I'm getting at. If we can get enough votes, it would convince Case-mate to extend the lineup.
If you use the promo code "fblike20". You can get it for $20 shipped.

So I go to the case-mate website, I see casemate selling a cool ass Marvel comics cases for Iphone 4/4s and I search for the t-mo case and I see this crap case! I want a god damn Iron Man Case.
too bad it only comes in the boring black color, otherwise i'd try one.
On the site it does say it comes in metallic silver but its not listed yet. I will be picking that one up when it is released.
looks no different from the incipio feather cases except incipio offers more colors
People were reporting fitting problems with the Incipio case though.
Looks very similar to the diztronic amazon case....
Thanks for the heads up, been wanting another case to keep in my rotation... a pity only black atm

Im very happy with my Incipio case and the fitting is perfect .. But i'll try this one aswell too see the difference.
Dang, how come the T989 has the least cases
Welp, thanks, but I dislike snap on cases. They don't look that great to be honest.
Yeah, I was hoping for a POP! case but it's obvious Case-mate doesn't see much promise in the T989 and wanted to test the waters. Hopefully spreading the word would result in enough purchases for them to release more colors or more cases x(>.<)x

It just looks weird to be honest, dislike the open parts like the top and bottom.
Doesn't really provide protection from drops...
I LOVE the D30 case. It doesn't really add any bulk, I think it makes it more comfortable in my hands and it definitely provides the added protection.
It's either no protection and a naked phone or if I was going to use a case I'd use something that actually provided protection.
Just my .02 cents. We all have different opinions, no hate.

I like the S-Line wave grip case I have, it's a slim case and doesn't add too much bulk and adds grip.
I've also got a SUPERGETS Dual layer case, but that adds a lot of bulk, it'll probably have more chance of saving my phone than the Sline but whats the point having a case when it makes you not want to use the phone?

Yes, it's my review. Why else do you think I posted it. I've yet to have anyone that has taken my advice disagree or complain. Read the review and read all the reviews on Amazon. The case is legit. It's my favorite all around case.

I am settled or I wouldn't be trying to answer your question. I don't get a damn thing if you buy the case. I don't really know how to answer the question other than it is about same as any other hybrid case I've used. Nothing that would drive me nuts.

Urban Armor Gear case hands down. I typically hate cases on my phones because I think it ruins the aesthetics and the feel of the device in your hand, but in my opinion the UAG enhances both.

Best case there is in my opinion. Has smooth lines, buttons aren't hard to press, fits like a glove and offers good protection. (It's already saved my phone)

There don't have the best case,yet better case, and it's all depends on everyone's sense,some like otterbox and also a lot love case-mate,and also some other brand-free case also impressive on design as well as other functions as you could see this one..
I think by far the best cases for smartphones is the SPG! I have the Spigen modello, top quality!

I would just say if you want slim basic protection you cant go wrong with a TPU case ,.
If you're really careful with the device, I'd say a regular tpu case will do. But if you have butter fingers I'd recommend body glove shock suit. I have it and it's great and slim

Agree with everyone else about TPU cases, they're the best blend of protection and bulk. I've had 5 different TPU cases for the S3: Mercury, Diztronic (matte black), Boxwave, (all about $10), iGadgitz ($3), and ZooGue ($5 on sale). The ZooGue is the best I've used: http://www.zoogue.com/galaxy-s3-cases/. The Diztronic was too slippery, Mercury was a bit too low-profile with not enough screen protection for me (you may like that one if you want to keep the phone slim though). The iGadgitz was pretty good but just didn't look very good. Boxwave should not be considered.
Looks pretty cool, almost military grade. Seems bulky however

Not really. There is a post around here with comparison photos with and without the case.
It's the slimmest case I've found offering that amount of protection.
I might be checking this ZooGue thing out. Thanks!

I had a zoo gue for the longest time and was really happy with it. Honestly its the BEST Tpu case. Quality, protection and great price. The Diztronics had nothing compared to the zoogue. I had the all.
I use Urban Armor gear for S3, and i'm happy with it, I got a feeling the phone cant be damaged at all, and the power/volume buttons work great with it (very important for me). I highly recommend it.

I'll second and third the ZooGue. Perfect combination of grippiness yet slippery enough to slide in and out of a pants pocket easily.

Me too. Have been using it for 6 months with the extended battery. Still look and feel very good. Love the case.
Living in Florida, I go to beaches and love fishing, so I wanted a case that could survive water,sand and accidental drops. Ended up getting the lifeproof case even though it is pricey...about $80. However, I love that it is a a pretty small case compared to other life proofs like otterbox
I have 2 brand new Otterbox Defender series warranty replacements for sale, a Grey on white and Black on black with clip holsters for sale. Looking to sell both for cheap in a bundle. Shoot me a PM if your interested.

Not really sad. Mine got pretty beat up and gunky. True leather should hold up better, but the feel of the Alcantara was nice.

I always liked the Alcantara’s non slip properties. You can place it almost anywhere on quite an angle without slipping off. I have a habit to place it on my knee while I need to do something. To date, no mishaps. Famous last words?

I take the leather, dab it with olive oil to get it soft and darker and then beat the crap out of it. In a short time you have a nice patina and good grip. The leathers always feel slippery at first but you need to wait it out until that coating comes off. Oil helps to take it away quickly and I like the look after.
ali express or bang good (one of the chinese sites) had note 9 alcantera cases cos I bought one. They are replica obvs.

What about the ones on Samsung site? I'm considering one of those.
I was unimpressed no protections at the bottom and it didn't even look or feel like leather but the inside felt like suade. The outside was slippery.
I bought the blue leather case using the 50% off on Samsung site for members. Its very nice and my fav even over 3 spigen cases I bought.
