Hey guys, been mulling over cases for the past few days. Already have the CrazyonDigital case and Elago SlimFit case but wanted something that is a little rugged and something that had a holster. I found the following on Ebay that had both for a good price:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170882937468
Anyone tried this case? It is only $15 so it is a good bit below the Seido and Otterbox which offer a rugged case with a holster. Hopefully it will do the trick.
I got this recently. Well worth the money in my opinion. Make the jump and buy it. No regrets for me.

Good deal. How long did it take yours to ship to you? Also, does it feel sturdy?
Thanks for responding!
I'm in Asia. Took about 2 weeks to reach from the states. It's really sturdy in my opinion.

Got this off Ebay for $8.88 shipping included. Works great makes function buttons a little harder to use. But overall for $9.00 bucks this is as good or better than otterbox.
Also has kickstand on back cover
Seller shipped fast. They are currently sold out but I posted the link for reference. http://www.ebay.com/itm/220967361850#ht_2947wt_952
I wouldn't really call them an Otterbox "clone" when these were out long before the Otterbox cases were.

what a steal! :d
I think they did that to the price so people don't buy them since they are sold out. Don't know why they wouldn't just take the listing down.
Looks like it's just the blue that's sold out, they jave them in other colors for $8.88.

i just bought a zagg screen protector with lifetime warranty and the red and black case here for half the price of an otterbox
Lately i have seen a lot of posts about broken gs3 screens, and i'm really afraid that something like that could happen to my beloved gs3.
At this moment i am using a regular silicon case, which i don't believe gives me enough protection.
So i have been researching the best case to protect my phone without adding much bulkiness.
I found this option on amazon and it seems quite interesting....and good looking.
http://www.amazon.com/Urban-Armor-G...TF8&colid=1DR9PV9J5Z87D&coliid=I3VQFO7QIOFFZM
A little expensive but if protects my gs3 i won't care
So...what do think about it guys ?

It looks abit bulky but should do the job.
But maybe take a look on ebay for it. Maybe find it a little bit cheaper
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Looks too One X or death star to me. It totally ruins the elegant look the GS3 goes for.
If I and to get a bulky case, I would go for Capdase armor jacket. Although I am not sure if the Aluminum kills reception or not.
Nahh...i've droped mine a couple of times with and without a tpu case and not a single scratch mate....
I also saw some drop/durability tests and i've seen the S3 is strong!
Maybe the first units had durability issues...?
Anyway i would spend money if i were you...
But if you want to stay free of guilts not buing a decent case undoubtly get an otterbox!
they're simply the best!You wont regret it....
Seems like good protection, but I like more the looks of the Otterbox Commuter for a "bulky case" (And I've heard is one of the betters in matters of protection). I'm supposed to get an Incipio Silicrylic any time this week, I decided to go for it because I thought a Commuter was overkill for my daily use and the Incipio seems to be stylish. I hope I don't regret that choice
Also, I think this should be in the Accessories section?
Well for what i have seen it the thinnest of the bulky cases. That is why i've got so interested. Also it looks pretty bad ass.
But i will check all your suggestions too.
I am still searching for a case to my new toy..the N7.

Just got mine from US to UK, took less than a week to arrive
After 2 official samsung flip cases fell apart (1 in first 10 days) I saw this and liked the look of it.
It's obviously more bulky than before but not enough to bother me. It's fairly lightweight too. Having side protection as well as the cool looking back won me over.
It Cost me £28 including delivery. Having spent over £16 (£30rrp) before on the samsung cases I can tell you the quality is far superior.
You get a screen protector included too (after a lot of time and swearing trying to fit the bast**do with no dust trapped) looks pretty good.

I've had my urban armor case for about a week and I love it so far. It gives good protection and feels great in the hand.

My White UAG case just came in the mail today, so far i love it. Has a nice feel to it, not bulky at all and feels like a sturdy case. For $20 i wasnt gonna pass it up black/white combo looks nice on the white S3 :good:
I use the otterbox defender,does what it says on the tin.
But it hides my beautiful phone.

i HAVE TO SAY THE BEST CASE HANDS DOWN IS THE BALLISTIC MAXX AND IT COMES WITH A HOLSTER. THIS CASE IS LIKE THE OTTERBOX COMMUTER CASE WITH A HOLSTER. EVEN WITH ITS SLIM DESIGN AND WIDE EDGES ITS GIVES MORE PROTECTION THEN THE DEFENDER CASE AND NOT AS BULKY WITH A NICE DESIGN.....GO TO AMAZON ITS GOING FOR AROUND $15 DOLLARS DEFENDER IS ABOUT $50

Why are you yelling????
I believe you are a bit excited?! LOL You may want to check the prices on the defender again though. I picked one up 2 weeks ago for $21. But I must say I'm glad you have found a case that you are content with lol.
That sounds like your opinion
i disagree

"good" and "cheap" dont often work well together. it's either a cheap case that might protect your phone when you drop it or its a good case that you spent $20+ on. if you're going for looks and dont want to spend a lot, there's thousands of cases. otterbox cases are too bulky for me. i always use case mate's "tough case" on my galaxy phones. good luck

Thanks man. I was looking for something rather slim and durable. I also hate bulky cases.

Cheap and gets the job done. Not too bulky also it depends where you buy the case from...Amazon is cheapest and fastest to avoid the stores markup.
An otterbox commuter is about $20 on Amazon and works well for me.
A clear backed bumper hybrid case is what I use when I want smaller and they are cheap and work well for protection for me but you need a well raised front face bumper to protect the screen though
try ebay or amazon
i prefer ebay, if you want cheaper cases
and in my opinion, they are pretty good, especially the gel ones
I know a lot of us has been looking for a waterproof shockproof dustproof snow proof case for our s3. Lifeproof has failed to deliver same goes for with otterbox, they are taking for ever. I found one that is available in a few hours. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/enflux/agilis-series-premium-galaxy-s3-case check it out. And it is cheaper than otterbox.
100k in 52 hours yea i highly doubt it'll reach its goal. Best of luck though.

they should make a water proof case for a extended battery.
I completely agree.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
this looks like an excellent case... I would buy 2 units (for me and the wife) if they made it.... they should also consider the back to be thin to be compatible with wireless charging....

In my situation cautious yes. I work in a really dusty enviroment and I use the case only in the workplace. And I got my earlier Sony's screen broken because of no case in the workplace....
I don't use this case in my freetime. It's just too bulky to have in your pocket and phone is a little more difficult to use.
There's couple disadvantages in the case:
- you can't press the powerbutton on the rightside. It's blocked because the hinges of the case are on the right side.
- I have had problems with the voice. I need to take the phone out of the case when talking with someone because they can't hear almost at all for some reason. I have not researched do anyone else have this problem and can I do something for it
I have also a bike clip for the case. I have not tested it yet (I have some plans to use the phone as a cycling computer in the summer time).
I'm little struct between this or Griffin Survivor (I have them both). Griffin Survivor is much better in almost every way (belt clip in Griffin case is really good) if you don't need water proofness but it's much harder to put the phone to the case and take if off.
Got this case to use on my bike: http://www.topeak.com/products/bags/smartphone_drybag_5_bk
Edit: don't mind my sig, got a S3 now.

Would an s3 with extended battery fit in this case, im already looking for quite a while for something like this but never realy wanted to order one because i am worried that it would not fit for extended batteries
Do these waterproof cases float? If no, what kind of depths can they handle? (I assume 1m)
I'm waiting for the otter armor.
