Hey guys! I'm going to finally make the move to dump my 4s after getting an awesome taste of a delicious ice cream sammich on my TouchPad. However, the only reservation I have about switching isn't anything about the actual iPhone, but the case! I've been rocking a Magpul Executive Field case for the last 10 months on the 4s and it has definitely become my favorite feature of owning the phone. The build quality, material, design, durability, and grip feel have been phenomenal, making it my favorite case I've ever used on any device. At this point, the benefits of switching to android would make me drop the case in a minute, but I'd still like something remotely similar. My questions to you all: has anyone who has owned the magpul case for the iPhone and now owns a a galaxy s3 found a case for the s3 that is tolerable or even comparable to the feel and quality of the executive field case? It's too bad magpul hasn't expanding their case line, but I still have hope. Thanks.
I have used the magpul on my 4s and have found some cases that are close to the fit. The seidio surface is a good slider with a soft touch finish.

I like the Hyperion extended battery with tpu case is close to the feel of the magpul. And with the 4200mAh battery I can go 2 days on one charge.
I am getting some of the urban armor gear cases will now more next week but here are some photos.
Hope this helps I am with you I wish Magpul would make a case for Tue s3.

Im a magpul fan myself. Have my other favorite toy dressed in magpul. I would buy it if they made a case for the s3....no doubt.

That one looks fairly appealing. Let me know what you think of it.
Edit: I watched a video review of it and saw the weight in amazon and it's definitely more substantial of a case than I thought it would be. I'm still interested in your feedback when you get it!

Currently not being productive on my S3.
Has me intrigued for sure.
The white one is kind of growing on me. Reminds me of storm troopers...

feels nice and it has a lot more grip to it.
Does it collect a lot of dust?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Why would it collect dust ? never herd of any cases that collect.
The only problem with these type cases is the clear ones tend to turn yellow in a few months, the colored ones don't
now they have 7 cases, for only 17.99 great deal

Thank you Siberslug!
Just bought myself a case after seeing your thread. Thanks for posting!
My Vibrant gets here tomorrow, I'm even more excited now!
Welcome! The edges are more sturdy than the t-mobile case is, but the center is still flimsy.
It is also not nearly as sticky as the t-mobile case, which is a GOOD thing to me. It still has a grip to it, but it isn't so difficult to stick in my pocket (or pull back out)
I just received mine today...
This is the one I bought:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Black-Gel-Case-...ewItem&pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item5d2a05dbdb
I was worried that it would be a loose fit but it fits very snugly on to the phone. You have to try very hard to pry it off, which is good!
It's more plastic like than it is a gel like material but it feels very nice in your hands. The feel of it will get smoother after a few days of use once all the oils from my skin get onto it.
I ordered it on 7/19 and received it today on 7/26 and paid $2.98 for everything!
Just buy it in TMO + the screen protector. Pfft. I spent 600 on the phone. another 40 bucks for a case + screen protector. is nothng.
Hey there guys...i just ordered my s3 and i saw a few videos where the s3 screen breaks very easily!
I also read the silicone cases or the TPU ones provide excellent shock resistance so i'm thinking of buying one!
What do you think?Which case will provide more protection to my phones screen? (i'm only intrested on not breaking the screen,the scratches etc are lower priority...)
I also ordered an InvisibleShield not that it'll make much difference but i'm just sayin'...
For me.. Both!
There are some cases that has both soft (mostly tpu) and hard frames stacked together for better protection. I'm thinking getting SGP Neo Hybrid when it's released. I believe someone post this video somewhere. But, I couldn't find any image of it. I used it for my galaxy s2, and it was bomb.

Since I haven't met my 10 post count yet I can't link
I'm using one of the Rocks Sand series cases that I picked up locally for ~10 USD. Big fan of the texture, very easy to grip and it doesn't look bad at all with my pebble blue S3.
One of the biggest bonuses I think is that the headphone jack up top isn't obstructed as it was with some of the previous rubber cases I used with my S2. Headphones with right angle plugs had problems being inserted firmly.
I bought 3 ebay tpu cases for my galaxy s3 and they all have horrible fitment =(...stay away from them
Just got my first case. $5 and it feels like it. Very. Thin, has what appears to be decent grip on the side but hard to tell without the phone. I bought it for the kickstand but it feels pretty cheesy to say the least. It won't even hold itself straight up on its own. If it works well with the actual phone I'll take the time to update my feelings about it.

Wow, I am genuinely impressed! These are arguably the best looking cases I've ever seen. However, I am not a big fan of dual layer cases. I bought an Otterbox Commuter for my Galaxy Nexus, used it for a week, and ended up going back to the generic TPU case I was using previously. Yes, the dual layer case offers a superior level of protection. Unfortunately, it makes the phone a bit too bulky for my tastes. In terms of bulkiness, will the Musubo cases be similar to Otterbox?
I'm buying all 3 when they release. The volume buttons are sick on the rubber band one. But all 3 cases are def something different and worth supporting.
I'm definitely feeling the Retro case, despite the it being dual layer. The old-school microphone look is just too cool to pass up. The Mummy case is nice as well, but it seems to be a regular TPU case with a cool design, and $35 for a TPU case is a bit steep.
It now has a ETA of August 6

It costs like a high-end case but i have no clue about the protection...

Protection is likely going to be good.
The question will be how quality the product is and if it will be scratch resistant plastic or if it'll end up looking like trash after just a few weeks.
Yeah, i'd love to see a review because just on face value from those pics, it looks great!!
nice , i like this mummy design
Wow, can you get any more tackier.

$35? Meh.
The more I think about it, the more $35 for the Mummy case seem like a ripoff. I haven't seen the case in person, but it seems to be just a regular TPU case. I ended up buying the PureGear Slim Shell that I like quite a bit.
ok, so im no photographer, but hopefully these pics will give you guys some idea of how this case fits and look on our phone. this is not professional review, so judge for yourself and decide if you think this case suits your needs. just for reference, i have a nano optics screen protector on right now

sides and bottom (reference pic in the other kraken thread)
i personally prefer the otterbox. the built in screen protector, solid build and clean look won me over. for me the kraken looks too "industrial", has no built in screen protector and the silicone insert felt flimsy and didnt cover as much of the bezel as i wouldve liked. the kickstand and speaker covers are a nice touch, but not enough for this case to be my every day case. just my .02 :good:
RELEASE THE KRAKEN!
Sorry just had to and mine is on the way. I'll post pics of the green when I get it.

Funny, everytime I see the this case I think of that darn film too... an elemental beast.
Thanks mrmako777 for the pics. I was on the fence about this and the Otterbox but for some reason chose this. I prefer the phone sans protection but I have a feeling I'm going to be sorry if I don't find a good case.

Thanks for the pics. My green Kraken should be here any day now. Waiting for the camo otterbox defender to come out, then I'll compare em and see what I like better.
Thanks for the pics. They are much appreciated. Keep them pics rolling.
Thanks for the pics and review
I am probably going to order the Kraken anyway...I am not too happy with the Otterbox Defender...I just expected more, maybe too much hype?

Has anyone got any Tetded cases for their nexus 5 or for any other of your phones? As I'm wanting to buy one but want to know if it's worth it in terms of the price relative to the quality of the case and other general views on it.
The one I want to get: http://www.tetded.com/home/en/nexus...-lg-nexus-5-d820-d821-dijon-iii-lc-black.html
No one can help me out here.....?
I have seen the Tetded cases on N4 phones and generally have good reviews and is priced in the medium range. From the pics I recall the leather being good quality feel, (don't recall if real leather or not on the N4) and fitted the N4 nicely.
Why don't you buy it and do a review to help others out
I have not seen the exact one you have mentioned but I have seen a bit same of a kind that my friend owns...he got it from Amazon and it was a bit similar to it

Yeah it is kind of expensive but I think it's worth it to an extent, its similar to the LG quickcover but has a clasp which keeps the flap closed, so that pleases me knowing if it does drop the flap won't just be swinging about and and drop and and damage the screen.

Yeah I was looking at that one too but the nexus 5 is a sleek understated phone, and the peanut butter and jelly one isnt understated and so that went off my list, the blue one is just troubling me because it does look nice but I'm thinking will keep the look of the nexus 5, the sleekness, the class and simplicity of it, I don't think so, so I think I'm going for good ol' black
