Is it just me or do you guys also spend AGES looking at case after case?
Basically i dropped my phone S3 on Sunday and cracked the screen, today i got it repaired so i now want a case/cover that protects over the edge front of the phone. But i don't to add massive bulk or for it to look too ugly.
Im thinking of getting the Otterbox commuter or the Ballistic lifestyle smooth, which one you guys think would better suit? or is there an alternate case better?
I know its been asked loads so apologies in advance.
Your not the only one. I'm a flashoholic and a caseoholic lol and very very picky with both.
My favorite sk far is the Incipio NGP. I love it. The lip should be plenty to protect from most drops and it adds very little bulk and gives the phone a really high quality feel. The right balance between slippery for pockets and grip for when your holding it.

My vote goes to the Incipio NGP as well. It is less thick than the GS2 version, but this reduced thickness (0.7mm) makes the phone quite a bit thinner compared to the S2 situation. Feels slick and slides easily out of pockets. Overall one of the best simple TPU cases around, although it is not exactly cheap for just a TPU case.
Naked is best

can't get Incipio NGP over here have to get it sent from the US, i'm going to the US in 2 weeks for 6 weeks so might as well wait till i'm out there as it might take longer than 2 weeks to come.
Do phone shops stock all sorts of cases out there or do you have to order online? would be nice to try before you buy, none of the shops here have anything decent...
These are the only type i've seen in shops here http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/metal-slim-protective-case-for-samsung-galaxy-s3-black-rubber-p35594.htm and that's what ive currently got which did nothing for when mine dropped.

I think most order online. Or at least I do. You'll find a decent selection at most stores but they all have different ones so if you could make it to like an att sprint and Verizon store you should see quite a lot. Online always has a better selection though

not due my upgrade yet, still on s2 but been searching for ages for a case to suit my needs when my s3 comes.
the best I think for me so far is the Acase Superlegerra Pro. looks like exactly what I need.
Hard to choose, right? The Paradox of Choice.
I actually bought too many cases (again) because I couldn't decide. Got various TPU cases from ebay, and Cruzerlite, and the popular hard polycarb Rock case, but finally settled on a so-called hybrid case: the Incipio Silicrylic dualpro, as it provides the best protection, grip, and looks, without adding too much bulk.
(Looking forward to Incipio's future cases for the Nexus 7 too)
I was also in search for a case for more than two weeks. At last I settled for Acase Superlegerra Pro. Lot got good reviews and value for money.
Also providing the same level of protection of a Otterbox commuter.
I have looked at reviews and posts (thanks the_Biz) to finally purchase the Case Mate Tough which is presently being delivered by Amazon. My next step is to select a protective screen which I have not decided but it may be the Ultra Crystal for its 4H hardness and compatibility with all cases. Now I am searching for a couple holsters the horizontal and vertical possibly the Reiko and Active holster respectively but I need to review further for quality and compatibility. When all the above is completed I will order the phone and should not worry about cracking the screen like you had experienced
I got the trident ageis and it works pretty well. I always keep my phone in a case but what did I do I took it out to put on a new screen protector and it slipped out of my hand and landed face down. Luckily there was no damage and I put it right back in!

Living in the UK, the main issue I am finding is that you guys in the US get the best cases!!
Yeah I hear ya, but for the moment I'm going with the otterbox commuter case since I have had good experiences with them
Later on next month I'm a customized case mate
I have 5 cases already. The Neo Hybrid in Infinity White, the silver SGP Ultra Thin, the Glacier Otterbox Commuter, a white/ red silicon/hard case from eBay, and a clear case that I got with the phone. And I'm always on the hunt for a good looking case lol

case
Verizon threw in a free case when I upgraded to the S3 which is brilliant because it covers their logo
Slim I'd say reearth slim takes it over case mate barely there. I have both.
I think the seidio active is awesome although for all the case conversations on xda I never see people talk about it for this phone. Definitely better than the spigen lumi for hybrid cases. Again I have both.
And u can get a kickstand on the active if that's how u roll. I did..
Those are the four have bought so far. Problem? Prob..

I have a Fosmon PC+TPU case and an Otterbox defender. I use my phone all day every day for work and switch my batteries out so I use the Fosmon for everyday work use. It comes off easily and protects the phone from everyday use and is cheap as hell. The clear back is flexible and the grips on the side even more so and hold well so far. You can see through the back if you have white you can see the Samsung S3 logo. The Otterbox is when I finally get the hell out of my house, and it does the job but is a pain in the ass to change batteries compared to the Fosmon. There are plenty of reviews of the Defender so you dont need to hear my 2 cents. I opted to spend more on a beefy case with cheap one for every day, it suites what I need very well and if the Fosmon ats $5.88 lasts 6 months I'll be happy.

I own the Platinum Series case from Best Buy. It is awesome.
Otterbox
I had 3 of the Candy shell cases for my iPhone, but after about 2 months each the cracked. WHile I had them they were great, but not that rugged.
I just got the Otterbox Commuter for mine and that thing is great, even the buttons are covered, and they are easier to press. Plus I can lay it down without worrying about the camera lens or the screen, it sticks out barely on both sides to protect.
One Of My Friends has a black one, you can barely tell its a case. Ill ask and try to hook you up.

The price of that case is the same price I got my bran-new Inspire 4G for.
I don't know if any of you are still looking for a case for the Inspire 4G (or DesireHD), but I have 10 hard shell black cases with a built-in kickstand. The cases are brand new and they also come with a screen protector.
If you're interested in getting one, please contact me at nkd4cl at g mail. I'd be willing to sell them for $15 + $3 shipping.
I just got a bunch more in, so I could drop the price. Hope this price point helps people out.
Depends on your budget and whatnot. OtterBox makes your phone indestructible for the most part (it's very resilient). If you just want a general case, I'd recommend just getting one off of eBay. That's what I did.
Case Mate Tough Case!!!! (ebay TPU not bad either)
to be honest, the TPU cases are pretty nice. not as much protection as other combo cases, but they sell at the mall for $20 and i got one on ebay for 69 cents after shipping. i had to wait a while as it came from china, but i was pretty impressed with the quality. it even keeps the camera from touching the table when i lay it down.
that said, i ultimately decided on the case mate tough case. it has a rubber inner layer and hard plastic outer layer, a nice ridge around the screen to keep it off the table, full port access, it actually makes the buttons easier to use, its fairly easy to get off and on if you need to but it CERTAINLY isnt going to come flying off if you drop it (i would know, from experience...lol)
my girlfriend has the speck candyshell for her iphone, and its nice, but its kind of hard to get the phone in and out. besides, i think the glossy finish will get scratched up quickly whereas the casemate will wear much better with its textured back.
OH and the casemate tough retails for $30 but i got it on ebay new for $15 definitely worth it! i got the tpu as a less bulky backup should i ever want a "sleeker" case or something happen to the tough one.
i looked at a lot of others, but they didnt seem to offer THAT much more protection when they cost 3x as much. this seemed like the best $ to protection for me since i did pay $50 for my inspire lol
My favorite cases hands down are Seidio cases. Fantastic quality, inexpensive, and they are very clean looking. I've used Seidio on my last 2 phones and will continue to use them on future phones that I own. I swear by them.

You can attach a charm to any phone and most phone cases with an inexpensive little "O" ring device. You might be able to find one at a store that sells phone accessories or you can buy them online.
it looks good
I have had my thunderbolt for about a month now and it is naked. I dont know if i should wait for an otterbox or a ballistic case or just buy something like the active x
as long as you're careful, I say leave it naked!
My recommendation is, if you don't know what you want, then go cheap for now until you do know. The S-Line can be had for just a few bucks ($3-7) on eBay (and some other web-based stores sell it too, I believe) and is an good case. Not amazing, but good to excellent. It will last you until you know what you want, and may be what you want.
I just got my active x case today in the mail. I was tired of waiting for Otterbox to release its case. I'm extremely happy with the case.
i went cheap, cases aren't the quality i like and well... they suck.
i like my case-mate pop case, shinny back gets stratched but i can live with it. the rubber deteriorating that users complained about is more like tiny eraser shavings on mine from the friction going in and out of my pocket, but it comes and goes. i'm still closely examining it. its a GREAT case, kind of thick, but lots of protection.
i might get the case-mate barely there case since i'm very careful with my phone.
another suggestion is the HTC (OEM) TPU case, I like QUALITY TPU cases because they're thin and the material is great.
+1 for the case mate pop, got mine 20% off (use google to search for coupons, 2 minutes saved me $8 lol), standard shipping, case ordered friday morning and delivered via first class mail monday afternoon. I like the fit, I like the protection, and I honestly think the white case is bad ass (makes my phone look like a storm trooper IMO). Otterbox has no plans of releasing a commuter case based on my communications with them and the defender is just overkill for my needs.
wouldnt waste my money on the pop case. im on my second one and it already jacked up.

99% of the people Ive seen have problems with them. I wouldnt take my chances.
On Ebay I found an Otterbox knock off for thirteen dollars with no shipping cost. Had the built in screen protector and all which I promptly removed because it sucked. Came with a hard snap on shell and a rubber case to put around that. It doesn't look to bad at all and was a lot cheaper than Otterbox.

The Seidio Surface case fits very well, doesn't add much bulk to the phone, and probably comes in any color you're likely to want. Seem to be available at a variety of prices, so pretty good deals to be had.

i am looking for a case that would protect if it was dropped and bumped around
After purchasing a soft case at the Verizon store where I bought my TB, I chucked it a few days later after it fell off a bunch of times. I ended up buying the Seidio Innocase II Surface Case on ebay. Best case imho.
It fits well and seems pretty sturdy. I know it's a pricey case, but I'm looking at the long-term in not having to buy a bunch of "cheaper" cases down the road when one will suffice.

D30 case and zagg is what I have. Dropped my phone twice from about 4-5 feet getting off my truck onto pavement and not a single scratch anywhere and its Slim and lightweight. Of course there is that minor issue with the button pressing.
There is enough hate in the world. Why can't we all get along here ...?
Trident Aegis case with SGP Ultra Crystal screen protector is the best combo. The screen protector is easy to apply and you wouldn't notice its even on. The Aegis is one of the best with good protection and great quality materials with options to choose different colors. Ballistic is good as well with a extra bulk for extra protection especially from drops.
Ghost Armor and the Ballistics case.Thats what I use,and it fits right in a Large genuine imitation leather belt clip case I bought from a gas station.
I'd have to say that the D3o case is probably the best cell phone case I've used. The lining of the case is made out of a very protective polymer named after the case, D3o. It's used for military, medial and sports applications.
I was skeptical about the $25 price tag at t-mobile but I was more than pleased when I purchased it. I've dropped the phone on concrete, cement, etc without batting an eye. The material of the case is breathable and dissipates heat very well. Easy to hold with different color options.
Needless to say, the main thing about the case is the shock absorption. Nothing I've ever seen before. Not the best link but here's a demo of what the lining is made out of. You can get it at a t-mobile branch if not, online. As the previous post about D3o mentioned, the buttons are a bit tough to push in at first. I heard that after a while, they become more pliable but I used the "exacto-knife" trick and cut slits (completely invisible) on the top and bottom of the buttons. This makes them a lot easier to manage.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-aW5XY2sis
As mentioned above, I'd go with a Ballistic case or the Trident case. I have two D30 cases but stopped using them since my friend's SG2 developed a crack while using that case. They're also very tough to get off without feeling that you're breaking your phone.
I got the trident Aegis.
Will be here soon. The Ballistic case, is nice, but a bit too bulky IMO. And green is my favorite color ^^
Thanks for the screen recommendation. Will look into it.
Debating between these two cases. anyone have/ had both and and prefer one over the other?

Edit.. ive read the reviews and all the threads. Just looking for dirrect comparison off the two

I'm also looking at both of these too but I have to buy them over from the US seeing as no stores here stocking them
I owned the Candyshell and it was a good case overall. Solid, but more importantly for me was the awesome tactility the buttons had.
One problem was the black version of the Candyshell looked like crap after about a month, and that is no exaggeration. It scratched up REALLY easy...
Bugger and I wanted a black one too
I was waitting for Element to make a decent case out of those awesome materials they use but then they released a case out of TPU and I've waited far too long.
Looks like UAG it is
Did you consider the following alternative?
acase supperlegera pro dual layer case
Looks good, feel great and protects very nice. It's the one I have. Please read some reviews.
If it is between those two, I'd pick the puregear dualtek. It's 1 piece and very solid, and the white version doesn't get dirty like some white cases I've used.
i have both and the Speck crack on me for the 1st time taking it out the phone to switch to the UAG case, what a waste of money
Let me say this my uag has protected my phone from multiple drops from various heights and has handled my 270 pound friend trampling over it lol I recommend uag all day to people with gs3.

Like a couple of others above me, I have both the Candyshell and UAG cases (2 of the UAG, actually...black and slate blue). I loved the Candyshell and used it for about a month before it just started looking awful (I knew this would happen, though, since I'd had them on my iPhones in the past). Plus, I started getting cracks around the volume rocker and power buttons.
I decided to move to the UAG based on the glowing reviews here. I can say, without hesitation, that the UAG is the best case I've ever had on any phone, period. It will take a beating and still come out looking great and it strikes the perfect balance between protection, looks, and bulk (or lack thereof).
I can't recommend it enough. You won't be disappointed if you get one.

Yes! This!!! I have the exact same case its amazing! Like nothing can destroy this phone with this case!
I used a SGP Neo Hybrid since more than one year but a few month ago the polycarbonat frame is broken so I buy this one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Book-Wallet...-Samsung-Galaxy-S3-III-GT-i9300-/271210987593
And I'm total happy with this Case since 2 month!
After trying about 10 cases of varying materials , shapes and sizes I chose the fake Neo Hybrid case since the origional doesn't seem to be available anymore. Build quality is quite good for under 10 bucks and if it breaks itll be cheap to buy another.
UAG is the best!! Very good quality and build. Using it with a 0,4 mm glass screen protector. Beats the plastic ones by a 1000 miles.
+1 on the bodyglove shocksuit!! The shizz.
Spigen neo hybrid now, had an Otterbox commuter for the last year. Like them both but I prefer the Spigen
Got to agree body glove is the best. Good price and doesn't make the phone to big and bulky.

most of the fake UAG case sell cheap and have letters failling off or just painted on it not mentioning the quality is not the same at all.
im not saying you brought fake one but just sharing some experiences.
also my fav case is indeed a UAG one (Scout/black) i got it from Ebay for 24$ port inclusive from a Belgian seller, i did some investigation because even if its only 10 bucks less than the official store its still suspicious, i did sent some detailed pics of the case and box info/bar code and according to the customer service : it's a original one, nonetheless i spared 10$ on it but i didnt got custom taxes.

most of the fake UAG case sell cheap and have letters failling off or just painted on it not mentioning the quality is not the same at all.

Wow, I didn't know they sold many knockoffs. Mine was direct from Amazon through UAG. I think I just have oily skin which made it easier to reduce the sticky solution for the lettering. Thanks for letting me know of that! I might get another just to have more color selection
Lifeproof Fre.
Otterbox Armour is a close second, but the lifeproof is more practical for everyday use, as it's more pocketable and wireless charging works through it.

exactly what make a UAG better than a Otterbox, Otter are nice but too bulky.
funny experience: i had 2 S3 dropped from my balcony (around 3meter)1 from a friend with a Otterbox defender and mine with the UAG without screen protector both hit the concrete on the lower edge (where the soft bumper is) result : mine nothing the other had a little (very small) crack on the bottom of the screen xD
sorry for the blurry quality xD

That life proof looks really solid but still just a bit too bulky for me. I might get something a bit thicker than my UAG, but first I need a proper full screen protector. I've gone through like 5 because they are dammed hard to apply.
