GS3 Storm Trooper Style - Galaxy S III Accessories

It's a combo of the white plastic bumper case you see floating around on the web and the OEM white flip cover.

I chose a pebble blue GS3 over the white because I actually don't like the way the white GS3 looks on the front when the screen is off (due to the contrast of the black screen to the white frame). But with this combo, there's very little bulk, great protection,decent grip and I got that Storm Trooper look!
I don't use the flip cover all the time as it does become annoying when you have to use the phone a lot or especially when taking pictures. I did get an extra white battery back which makes it nice to just have the white back and bumper (just imagine it without the white front).

Quite impressive! Never thought about doing something like this. Can you post a pic of the setup without the flap?
Thanks.

i really like this look, i saw the genuine samsung flip cover on it, could you put a link to the bumper?
Also i probably wouldnt want the flipcover on there all the time. i had an idea, to cut off the flip cover so i could reattach it when ever i put it in my pocket. how do you think that would work out?

You should put two small slits on that bumper at the edge of the flip.

The original bumpers I ordered
The aluminum bumper I'm waiting on
Pictures of the aluminum bumper as requested. I don't like it as much as the TPU and rubber bumper because it adds significantly to the overall size of the phone. REALLY feels big i my hand now. As you can see the ports and buttons are now set so deep from the bumper exterior that certain cables just don't reach and it's now difficult to press power/volume. Aluminum FEELS awesome, though. Will continue to look for a bumper that's thinner profile and metal feel like this one. Protection is exceptional due to thickness. I actually dropped my phone from about 5' in our server room today onto a tiled floor. No damage to the phone and just wiped a smudge off the bumper.
The neodymium magnets I ordered to try to see if I can make the front cover detachable
These magnets are small enough where I might be able to insert them into/under the front cover and attach to (inside?) the bumper. I'm not too worried about the cover falling off as if you put enough of these in the right place, they're pretty hard to pull apart - I'm actually more worried that the magnets would make the flip come apart in time if I insert them inside the flip. Too bad I can't find a stainless steel bumper as aluminum isn't magnetic.If anyone has seen one, please link me to it.

That looks awesome.
How do you feel about the rubber bumpers? They look pretty cool. Do the side buttons lose any responsiveness?
Might have to get myself one of those

Please let us know how that white aluminum bumper works out for you... I think I might need one.

You mean black bumper, right?

thanks. rubber bumpers are cool because they give the grip that's missing when the rest of it is glossy and smooth, so it's a nice contrast not just in terms of color but texture. Because of the side buttons being under the rubber part, they work well - maybe I accidentally trigger volume/power a lot less than i used to without. Responsive as needed w/o being hyper sensitive to touch.
on another note, another reason i wanted to do just the back and the bumper is I wanted to do the palm pre/touchstone hack for inductive charging. With this setup the little lump caused by squeezing the Palm Pre inductive coils into the back battery cover is lessened by the bumper so it lays flat on the table. Other people who just have the back and maybe a TPU case over it have this wobbly situation because it's not flat. This bumper alleviates that. Charges well through the battery back on the Touchstone while still feeling like it's protected due to the bumper.

This is awesome man! Can you make a YouTube vid? Please!

Nice - If i used a full case I'd throw a kickstand version on instead of just a regular case - might as well go all out if you're adding the extra thickness.
That's the only thing I'm missing on mine - thinking of adding an insert that stows away on the back and when you pull it out and stick it back in the top of the bumper becomes a kickstand.
There's actually a pretty cool kickstand case I got for one of my users that has a kickstand, but not sure the Palm wireless charging mod would work with it. I love the wireless charger, though and that's why i used a bumper.

in case anyone missed, i added pictures of the new aluminum bumper in post #5.

Amzer Luxe Argyle TPU case... (pictures)

perfect case for me, as im a big fan of the TPU cases in cases in general, had some for my Blackberry before i bought my Captivate.... the cutouts for the charger port/headphone jack/speaker/camera are all perfect, the case fits snug, volume and power buttons arent restricted at all. the case doesnt add much bulk, and the TPU material adds a sure grip on the device.
only dislike i have is the color, i ordered Blue and i thought itd be more of a royal blue, rather than the almost turquoise-ish color that i received. no bother though, ive already put in an order today for the smoke gray.
Looks great. Waiting for pictures of the smoke grey one when that comes in . Big fan of these type of cases but I'd prefer a simple black/dark grey without patterns.
Are the Power/Volume buttons covered or opened?

How's the overall fit? Loose? There are reviews on vibrant amzer cases on amazon and they say they fit loose.
Thanks for the pictures. Looks like a great case except I can't get over the pattern... it makes me sad. Is it too much to ask for a plain black or plain clear tpu case without funky patterns?
yeah argyle is so 90s
I just ordered the lime green version of this

yeah, i wish there was a clear one, but i was waiting for a tpu case from the time i bought the phone so i went ahead and bought this one. hopefully someone comes with a clear one soon though.
What is tpu? Hard or soft, or both? Just wondering because i have a clear plastic case over the phantomskinz white chromatics carbon fiber skin, and lets just say its a tight squeeze. I just ordered a clear gel case from mr. hit and I don't think its gonna cooperate with my belt pouch very well. Something like this IMO would look great over the white chromatics skin. I know it sounds like overkill but I am a freak about protection as I resell all of my old phones to party for the new ones.

TPU is a medium between hard and soft.... its a plastic, a rather firm plastic, but it bends|flexes|gives, but always retains its elasticity - no matter how many times you might put it on and take it off of your phone, itll never get loose and worn, messing up its fit on the device. also does a decent job of shock absorption in the event of drops.
Cool thanks. Wondering now if it will fit well over the chromatics

i'd like one of those but in a dark purple or black
I love this case because it's different than the usual Body Glove case from AT&T that everybody has. I got the clear one and it is a little grippier than the Body Glove case but I like having that extra grip in the hand.

Great TPU Case for Captivate
I bought purple, green and hot pink for my Cappy. I love these. They fit the phone perfectly. No loseness. But easy enough to remove to switch out colors. I wasn't that wild about the argyle pattern either but this is the only TPU type case which is what I had and loved on my iPhone. TPU material is good for gripping but slides in and out of your pocket easily unlike silicone.
I bought the purple and it's a real nice shade.
Someone else posted pictures of the smoked grey on androidforums

Body Glove Tactic Brushed White/Charcoal case for HTC One

Hey peeps, today my new Body Glove case arrived! I went on to put it on and I liked it so much I wanna recommend it to you guys! First off, if your not a fan of thick cases, then you might not like this one too much. I consider this case to be more of an alternative to the other dual layer cases like Speck's candyshell. They're very alike, except this one does not cover the volume buttons (kinda disappointing...). Anyways, I took a couple of pics of the case itself so you guys can see it! It's really a good case! Hope you enjoy the pics! Click on 'em to view full size, I still don't know how to post them full size'd
First up, the front of the case. It has a very nice lip/bump there to protect the screen of the phone if you decide to place it on a table facing down or if it falls screen first to the ground:

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Next, the back (it's a white plastic with matte finish, it actually feels good to the touch and it's comfortable to hold) with the Body glove logo on the back there. It feels great to hold as it is a bit curved like the One's curved aluminum back, so it fits naturally in your hand:
Now, inside the case! That kind of cratered looking pattern is rubber, like that of the first layer of the Speck candyshell or the Otterbox commuter, except that it's part of the plastic exterior so it can't be removed):
Here's the camera and noise canceling mic openings. If you ask me, they're perfectly cut out and positioned to precision! Plus that silver backing really shows off how well cut out it is:
Now here's where most of the cases miss (even the Poetic Atmosphere case, which I bought and should arrive tomorrow or after), the bottom openings! This case actually resembles the Speck candyshell in the fact that both have very very precise openings (though the Speck case's opening is narrower, it's still perfectly centered):
Next, power button and headphone jack! As expected, nice cut out for the power button/IR blaster and the rubber lining is actually cut lower there so it's easier to press the button without having to reach out to the very top of the phone. Headphone jack cut out is pretty widely cut, making sure most headset plugs will fit:
The volume buttons are exposed, like mentioned before, but there's still some lift from the case, so the buttons themselves are protected in case you drop the phone. This also makes buttons easy to press, as opposed to other cases that make pressing them much harder because of having rough rubber coverings. This is not the case with Speck cases, fortunately (I know as I own a candyshell one):
However, you trade in comfortability of pressing the volume buttons for oddness and premium feel. As you can see, the little rubber lining lip that covers the glass where the volume buttons are is very loose because of not being glued to the plastic backing or having any support. This makes it feel kinda cheap. The rubber itself is placed perfectly and does not show this stretching when left alone, but I fear that with time this rubber piece might stretch and get in the way or maybe eventually break:
Here you can see the lift provided by the bump/lip on the case. It's at what I consider a perfect level as it doesn't make the case look huge like the otterbox defender and it's easy to touch the corners and edges of the screen with it on.
Here's what the entire back of the case looks like with the phone on. I just fell in love with the whole look of the silver One with the white/grey case! You can see as the rubber linings stretch to the back too, so when you put the case on a table it's that much less probable of slipping and falling:
The sides also have a cool design, with rubber grips on the sides that make holding the case that much comfortable and less probable of it sliding from your arms. The whole design of the case makes it look modern and very cool!:
Here's a little close up of how the rubber grips look! Also, damn it looks sexy from the side!:
Finally, just a look at the front of the One with the Body Glove case put on. The case itself isn't that bulky, it's even slimmer than the Speck candyshell! It's also a lot better looking for me. The only thing I miss is the soft and easy to press volume buttons cover found on the Speck candyshell case. Other than that, this case is a lot better!:
So, yeah. Thats about it I hope anyone that saw this post and the pics enjoyed. If you have the Speck candyshell and don't feel like it's the right case but you like the protection it gives you, or just hate the glossy finish, you should check this case out! It's also available in Pink/Silver and in Charcoal/Black!

Always my favorite case manufacturer: Diztronic TPU

Hey guys, decided the Moto X is indeed the phone for me...so I ordered a case. I've been using a Diztronic case for a few years now on various phones and always liked them. They're sleak and they provide just a little extra lift to keep the screen off the pavement if you drop it face down. Pretty much all I could ask for.
Anyway, the Moto X Diztronic case is stellar. Here's a few pics:

...now I just need to wait for the Cardninja I ordered and I'll be set. It's funny, a few years ago, it was 'never leave the house without phone, ipod, wallet, keys'. I dropped the iPod a few years back, and think I'm finally dropping the wallet. Now, I just need NFC to start my car and I'm set.
Agreed. Picked up the clear case and love it!

how hard is it to look at the photos posted above?
I got the matte black, and this case is awesome: fits perfectly, adds very little bulk, feels great, and it's cheap! Only downsides are it covers the back of the device and the buttons, which actually doesn't bother me because I just have the plain black verizon model. It also covers the dimple which I know bothers some people. Lastly the lips around the screen make it a little difficult to get your thumbs to the edge of the screen, which makes it a little difficult to drag app icons to a different home screen. No big deal though.
Too bad it doesn't have an indent for the dimple or at least a cutout for it
the hyperion is 99% the same, but has the dimple.
http://www.amazon.com/Hyperion-Moto...-Packaging/dp/B00CXLY9KG/ref=pd_sim_sbs_cps_5
I bought both the Hyperion and the ditztronic. The ditzrtonic seems slightly slimmer and has much better buttons than the hyperion. I like it better overall besides not having the dimple...So what i did was i took a hallow hole punch and made a dimple hole in the ditztronic.
I used something like this:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000I1IWVA/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
And this is the result:
I made it a little bigger than it should be because i was afraid if i didn't center it perfectly it would be off the dimple.

how does TPU react when being drilled? Did it wiggle about or just cuts through like paper? Really curious how TPU reacts to violent force.

I used a hallow hole punch. You don't drill with a hallow hole punch, you hit it with a happer. It took a lot of hard banging but it cut it pretty cleanly. You also have to hold the punch down pretty well so it doesn't move/bounce around. I practiced on the hyperian case becuase i didn't plan on using that case. For some reason the hyperian case was a lot easier to put a hole in.

How hard is it to tell if there is an indent in the back of the case when the picture is taken straight on?
While the punch is a cool idea, I would be interested in finding a case that actually has an indent for your finger AND protects the back of the phone.

Sorry, I guess I'm still not making my wishes clear
A case that does not have a physical cutout for the dimple, but a case that is dimpled itself that is contoured into the dimple on the X. Does this make a little more sense?
Can those with the clear case confirm if it gets dirty, especially along the corners? My wife as the griffin white reveal and the corners look terrible.

I have a clear one (it's frosted on the inside, so not _completely_ clear). Had it since October when I got the phone. With my white phone in the case, it looks pretty grey now, especially on the corners and edges. I don't really mind, since it keeps the phone white!

The buttons on the SUPCASE are pretty bad, unfortunately. I have one and love it otherwise but never use it because of that reason - mostly use my bumper case that has great button feedback.
Diztronic are then only cases I will buy. Love it on my Moto X.

Just moved from a Hyperion to a Diztronic because the headphone port on the Hyperion was too small. Both are good cases, but man the Diztronic seems slippery to me compared to the Hyperion - it's almost flown out of my hand a couple times over the past few days. Really nice case though.

Bumper (magnetic charging+dock)

Ok I know everybody has been reviewing the LOVE MEI metal bumper
and people love it. Personally I give it a 2/5 rating and thought it was not worth it at all. Sorry I am not the best reviewer, I am only doing this because I'm bored and studying for an exam lol. Needed a quick break :good:
Ok let's get started.
I found an even better bumper for the same price, which is a better quality metal bumper and protects the front a lot better. When I tried the Love mei bumper, it felt like a really cheap bumper and didn't give me an impression that it would protect my Z1 (it also was wiggling around until you put some paper or something) This bumper also does not wiggle around, compared to the Love mei. It has rubber little mats inside to protect it from getting scratched from the metal (I cringed when I heard scratching noises when trying on my love mei, this case didn't scratch it.
Basically this bumper is about the same as the Love mei but protects it a lot better, gives access to all the needed ports or buttons. Unfortunately you have to dig deep if you want to press the volume and power buttons (same as Love mei bumper)
For the magnetic charging you can cut out the top rubber of your magnetic charger so the charger can fit and you won't have to remove the phone out of the case like how you used to. Of course I tried this with my generic magnetic charger first before doing it on an official one it came with.
Here's the link and some pictures. As you can see, it is charging :laugh: Please practice on a cheap magnetic charger before cutting your original charger, I am not responsible if you break it. It worked for me and I was just careful with my xacto knife

This is what you have to do to the magnetic charger
Agree it looks better than the love mei. Just wish they have provided some rubber buttons so you did not need to dig for those buttons, i can see that getting old after a bit. So how comfortable is to hold. Not as nice as naked i suppose. The quest for a better, more comfortable bumper continues.
By the looks of it the bumper raises the screen & back just a bit so it will not scratch when placed on a table.
Did you consider to use screen protectors for back & front. I think that would complete it. I like how you have a wrist strap at the end. The lanyard provision is unique to japanese phones.
Just saw this what do you think ?
【Metal-Slim】Sony Xperia Z1 Bumper frame
No digging for volume buttons, that it isn't metal isn't a problem AND access to magnetic charging. There is a good lip over the screen too. Price seems ok, shipping cost is unusually high though.

Did you consider to use screen protectors for back & front. I think that would complete it. I like how you have a wrist strap at the end. The lanyard provision is unique to japanese phones.
Just saw this what do you think ?
【Metal-Slim】Sony Xperia Z1 Bumper frame
No digging for volume buttons, that it isn't metal isn't a problem AND access to magnetic charging. There is a good lip over the screen too. Price seems ok, shipping cost is unusually high though.

Just so you know the bumper you linked is actually made of rubber. I purchased it and its about a 3 on a scale from 1 -10

Ok I know everybody has been reviewing the LOVE MEI metal bumper
and people love it. Personally I give it a 2/5 rating and thought it was not worth it at all. Sorry I am not the best reviewer, I am only doing this because I'm bored and studying for an exam lol. Needed a quick break :good:
Ok let's get started.
I found an even better bumper for the same price, which is a better quality metal bumper and protects the front a lot better. When I tried the Love mei bumper, it felt like a really cheap bumper and didn't give me an impression that it would protect my Z1 (it also was wiggling around until you put some paper or something) This bumper also does not wiggle around, compared to the Love mei. It has rubber little mats inside to protect it from getting scratched from the metal (I cringed when I heard scratching noises when trying on my love mei, this case didn't scratch it.

I had a screen protector on the front and back of the phone with the bumper
My main problem with this is pressing the volume/power button since you have to dig to press it. That's the same with the lovemei bumper as well. It's 7.5/10 comfortable when holding it, but I do wish it had some rubber somewhere to add better grip to the phone. At least I have a strap so it's safe from falls
And as for the magnetic charging, it does fit but you have to cut a little piece of the rubber from the magnetic charger for it to fit. The magnetic charger is too thick to fit at first

I'm not fan of the LOVE ME! bumper either, it looks cheap plus the angle of the bumper is so stupid. I just bought the same model as yours, here new link because eBay seems to be giving headache to us buyers to find it. I only found the other model when I searched this afternooon. But I had it saved in my Watch List.

Orzly fusion "bumper" case

http://www.amazon.ca/Orzly®-Protect...=1418949023&sr=8-11&keywords=oneplus+one+case Ill be ordering one soon since it looks wicked. has anyone used this case? Im gonna try it and report back in case anyone wants to get one
Just got mine today, black. Not sure I'm thrilled with it. It's thinner than the Tudia Dual. Doesn't feel as protective. It didn't "hug" the phone as well as I was hoping it would, the Tudia is a nice slim snug fit. Not much of a lip over the front of the phone screen. The silver bezel on the top/bottom of the phone is visible with it on.

Here's a video to it if it helps....
If anyone has got the case pictures of it would be super helpful.
thanks i just wished it didn't expose any of the silver trip on the bottom or top. I ordered a diztronic instead

There's something strange, something wrong on this case...
Just an update, I stopped using the Orzly Fusion case, even on the Bamboo the case is loose (or maybe because it's on the Bamboo and it's thicker so it's not hugging the phone properly).
posted this on google+ originally
Orzly Oneplus One case came in yesterday. Very satisfied and happy that it fits perfectly with the Bamboo Swapstyle cover. The buttons are tough as hell to press but it's not a deal breaker. Plus the shine effect the clear back gives to my OnePlus is a beauty.
my google+ link to original post and the comments in there where people were discussing fitting.

Clench your phone, as if you're trying to compress the lips over your phone sides, you will feel like it has movement as if it really is loose.
I found the same thing. Fit is nowhere near as snug as I would have liked it to be, and I would have much preferred a bit more lip for screen protection.
I just received this too. It's an okay case.. NOT a fan of clear rears. But for 5 bucks not bad.
...
Iv had this for about 2 weeks. i love the case. I believe bigballa on the xda community has posted some really helpful pics. The fitting around the sides is perfect and access to all ports is spot on as well. Iv read some odd amazon reviews but i really cant fault this case. Shows the back of my phone nicely whilst offering great protection
kind of glad i got the diztronic instead, is recommend it I might pick up the fusion later on
Remove back Plastic
Hi,
Same here seems that it is realy thinn and not so protective. We will see after some drops (I hope It will not happen soon).
I remove all the plastic back part (with a dremel: Grinding and Cuting head) to preserve the sandstone back feel of the phone and to keep the weight down. Its is quite good, the case is still well in place, not so loosy. There is a litle loose in the midle of the long border. If I redo this operation I will keep a litle platic stripe between the midle of the long borders.
I will try to cut the back of an Diztronic case to compare the overall rigidity.
Regards,
+ 9h nilkin tempered glass screen protector
I've had the clear version of this case for about a couple months and have dropped it several times. No damage, just some small chips on the edges of the nilkin tempered glass screen
I have the case about 5 days, but I send it back, there are some problems with it.
First the polycarbonat back scratches really easy and looks bad, second is the case not fits at the top and bottom, so there can enter a lot of dust.
I can not recommend this case
The back transparent easy to scratch. Demmittt.
I actually really love this case. It is much slimmer than the ringke fusion and actually maintains the shape of the opo with minimal bulk. Also, I made my own template (much like I did with the ringke fusion) So I can have custom backs.
The one downside is quality control though. When I got the case, one of the plastic protective sheets was positioned halfway down the back and there was a small scratch on the top right hand corner.
That said, this is still my favourite case.

I was considering buying this, but what you guys said, made me change my decision and I bought the pelosi case.. Perfect fit, sandstone feeling and very slim fit
