Anyone use/used this case and can share heir likes/dislikes? Looks pretty good on a laptop screen. Lol
Oh, and if pics could be taken too, that would be great.

Junk, don't waste your money. I had to return 3 cases because they cracked. Read more here:

Damn, were they real though? I read somewhere that the fakes do crack like hell.

I actually just got my candyshell a couple of days ago. I was put off by the 'cracking' from the reviewers, but I ordered it from Amazon and they have a great return policy. I also had a speck when I had the iphone 3gs and I liked it. It provided protection without being too bulky. Too bad they don't have it in white!
I was actually surprised as it was better than the iphone version - the buttons are really easy to press (on the iphone case, I always had to push down really firmly on the volume rocker and power button because the rubber didn't have as much give). So far, I like it as it also gives me something more solid to hold, I'm probably the minority but the naked phone feels so light, like I'm going to snap it in half. No complaints with cracks so far, will update if there is.
Here are some photos:

Wife has one, taken off a couple of times without cracking. No complaints on our end

Thanks! Yeah, the cracking put me off too, but I saw reviews that said how easy the buttons were to press and its a pretty slick case so I bought one.
Yeah, actually the speck case for the galaxy s3 seems less flimsy than the iphone version. To me, anyway.
Case is junk. Super hard to get the phone out of and the cracking is real.
Get a case mate tough or a incipio sylicrilic.
I have this case. It's my everyday case right now. I've put it on and off the phone multiple times and never had any issues. If you do it as per the instructions then it comes out easy. Mine has not cracked. This is the best case I have found that is slim fitting, has a lip to keep the screen and camera lens off of tables, and covers the buttons. I would recommend it.

Kinda hard to show picts when I have sent all 3 back to amazon. The case cracks from the camera opening to the top of the speck logo. Others have reported it cracks in other areas too. Give it time, yours will crack too. We had a speck candyshell for our iPhone and that thing was the best....this one for the S3 is total crap

Why didn't he request that from those that mentioned out before me? That's what I thought........
I remember reading somewhere on another forum that it was one specific color that was cracking and Speck stopped selling that color due to the issues. I believe the other colors were all fine with no problems. I think it was the greyish bluish one that they stopped.

Yeah, it was the Pebble / Bayou color that was having issues. I can't seem to find the thread that I read that on but if you go to the Speck website you'll see that they show 5 color options in one of the photos but you can only buy 4 of them. You can't buy the Pebble / Bayou color as I believe that was the one that had the issues.
Both shocked and appalled that this thread is as yet inconclusive...

Did a little search, didn't see a similar thread.
I love my Captivate, and have been looking into ways to make it better constantly; be it software or hardware. I recently picked up a decal skin off of ebay, and wanted to share.
I love the color red; a lot of the things I carry around are red. Captivate didn't come in red so I settled with black... until I bought a decal skin from Wireless Flavor on ebay.

So I think it'd be neat for everyone to post up their Captivate, a brief explanation of where they got their skin etc., and perhaps a mini review.
As for my purchase, I like it. I didn't want something much thicker as I liked the slim profile, but I wanted to protect against scratches as well. There's a slight bump on the back due to the Galaxy S logo, but I don't mind it. Are there any plain plastic backs that can be bought?
Lets get posting!
Looks like I need to visit iskinit.com and remake my bruce lee decal again.... (like what I had on my N1)
do the bottom soft keys still work as good as without the decal on it?

They're not as sensitive, so you need to apply a little more pressure when using them. I don't mind it, I found myself more annoyed before when I'd accidentally tap the wrong key.

Yeah, it's just a regular decal skin from ebay.
The screen isn't protected no... I'm not sure if I can actually fit a screen protector with the red skin. I try to be careful in general and have only noticed small scratches thus far, and only when tilted at the right angle in bright light. I might regret it later... but I figure by that time I'll just upgrade to a new phone.

Yeah plus if you notice when your applying them I don't like putting all much of the solution down that the screen protector starts to stretch and then I end up having to come back in with a razor to clean up the edges.

Although I like my phone as it is, I am desperate to get rid of the "Samsung" at the bottom (would like it unbranded). I have an Otterbox Defender case which covers the AT&T at the top but not the brand name at the bottom.
Can you tell me if these stickers would work fine? Since I use a case which covers most of the phone I was planning to get either the gradient blue or jet black and apply only the front decal.
Another case review for the S3, this time its a Genuine Samsung TPU Clear Ultra Thin Case - SAMGSVTPUCL

Does what its set out to do. I have already ordered one to have in order to cover all aspects of he phone from scratches really.

I can confirm you get two cases.
One is transparant with stripe motive the other is transparant with dots.
It's a nice case for just protecting the back of the phone when put on a table but nothing more.

I was able to get this from a friend because he doesn't like pouch style protection so he has given it to me.
I personally love pouch-style over cases so in my opinion, this fits well and is great. Only thing is that I rather have a fabric like the one that came with the G1 over this leather feel. Amazon seems to sell them for 29.99. I can't post links so please search for
SPIGEN SGP Leather Pouch Crumena for Samsung Galaxy SIII, S3 for Verizon, Sprint, Tmobile, AT&T and other Carriers [Black]
comes in three different color variants. fits my phone perfectly.
Well reply to this and you'll get your 10th post and ability to post links.
I've ordered this pouch, and was wondering if there's enough room for an S3 with a "sleeve" case like Rock or the Diztronic one to fit into it?
Thanks

No, the sleeve from SPG is tight enough where if you held the pouch with phone upside down, it won't slip out. Thats with the naked device.

i have been getting pouches from them for almost every phone i've had.....I can't find a difference at all...
I once bought a pouch for them and was about to give them a negative review because they state OEM....i emailed them saying I was going to give a neg review due to them stating OEM.
They told me that htc actually contracted with who they get the cases from to make it for the g1...so all they do is redesign it for the new phones with the same material and build quality, hence stating OEM
i would have given them a negative review it was cheap and flimsey...but It isn't....it is a little deceiving they state OEM when it isn't, but the build quality doesn't suffer, so i dont mind.....if it did, i would have given them negative reviews
thanks for that link, i'll def look into that in the future! like those G1 style cases the most.

Hey question for you guys who own this case. I've been reading up on reviews for the crumena (mainly on amazon) and there has been some complaints about the case actually scratching up the phone. The scratches are mainly on the side and more specifically the back of the phone mainly due to the ribbon.
Are you guys experiencing the same problem??
christian, I didn't even get a days use out of the case. After fighting with it to get my S3 to go inside of the pouch, I ended up having to use a razor blade to remove the stitching as the S3 was stuck inside of it. I was reimbursed by SGP.
So after going to my local ATT corp store and seeing this case it looked pretty interesting. Do they only make cases for the iPhone? Tried doing some research and found nothing! Only iPhone cases.
Iphone and Ipad only. I would definitely be in for one for the s3 if the decided to make it though.

Thanks for posting that link. I have wasted lots of $$$ on screen protectors because I never liked how I applied them. No matter what I do, i get dust/bubbles, and all sorts of other issues. That roll-on screen protector is going to save me so much money and pain/anger.
If you have a hard time with screen protectors you should go check out ghost-armor.com . I have my phone wrapped in clear with a second layer of white carbon fiber, they will do the whole installation for you and they even covered my flygrip in white carbon fiber as well
My S3 gets me Blazed
Otterbox is coming out with a similar case called the Armor. Its been announced for the iPhone, but if anybody would build a non-apple version it would probably be them. I would consider asking them.

If you have a hard time with screen protectors you should go check out ghost-armor.com . I have my phone wrapped in clear with a second layer of white carbon fiber, they will do the whole installation for you and they even covered my flygrip in white carbon fiber as well
My S3 gets me Blazed

Sorry for the double post forgot about this one haha but how well does this protect the phone? I notice most wraps/full body ones such as zaggs leaves the top pretty unprotected. Same with slickwraps. Any idea how ghost armor compares?

I see it as leave it at home or downgrade to something you can handle, not want.

Otterbox is coming out with a similar case called the Armor. Its been announced for the iPhone, but if anybody would build a non-apple version it would probably be them. I would consider asking them.

Doubtful, Otterbox has their collective head so far up apples ass that it's not even funny. They couldn't even produce a case for the S3 release even though this phone has sold millions already.
I emailed Otterbox earlier to ask them about the Armor case. They don't have plans to make it for any other phones... iPhone only.

No surprise there.

They could easily sell 100k cases for the s3 (10M sold so far).
I would buy it immediately
I would jump right on that as well. They did have a post on their site a few months back that they were working on coming out with cases for Samsung phones. It would seem that the s3 should be at the top of the list when they do.
It would be nice to have for kayaking and snowboarding, nice for listening to music in the shower too!
I bought the otterbox commuter with an hd invisishield and loved it. Then upgraded to the defender and while I like the defenders premise.. I hate that I get dust under the screen cover through the miniscule opening at the top where the front facing camera and ear speaker is. I may go back to the commuter and hd screen.

I just got mine in the mail today, just wanted to show you guys how it looks.
The color is as depicted. Same issues: Buttons are so hard to press. I hope they loosen up over time.
As you can see in the picture i posted, the Camera lens does not match up perfectly with the cut out case. Although it will not be an issue to most of you, but I'm a nit-picky person. It's not that big of a deal, but still I think this is a manufacture flaw. It's unnoticeable though.
As for the screen protector, its horrible. I've had headache trying to put this on and this one is a fingerprint magnet.
Overall, good case, with high quality silicon and polycarbonate shell.
It looks ugly. Why did you even bother getting a blue one?

I just got the black one today and the screen protector is bad. The buttons are wtf hard as chit to press. It makes me think I put it on wrong

Interesting choice of color
It seems to add quite a bit of thickness to the phone. Could you maybe measure it?
I am looking for a case that will have good screen protection that will offer a bit of a rubber edge around the front of the screen, like it seems to show in the pictures? So if you drop the phone face down or place in on an object with the screen facing down. The screen would not be in contact with that surface.
Does this case offer that?
and thanks for the pics!
Cheers!

Yes. This case has bumps on the front that prevents the screen from getting in contact with the screen.
Also, the phone with the case on is about 0.75inch in height.
Just ordered one as well and it should be here any day now. Had the black one but got bored of it pretty quickly.
I think the blue looks nice but will have to see it on the phone.

No offense but why do people continue to purchase these Otterbox cases when there are known issues that aren't being fixed. The buttons are too hard to press and the cut-outs don't line up perfectly. I expect more from a case that costs more than $30. Not to mention, these cases don't look any where near as good as the ones they make for the iPhone. Also, most of the color combos are damn ugly.

The black one I have has no alignment issues. I do agree that the buttons are hard to press at first but they do get much better after a week or so. Actually like the fact that the buttons are not so easy to press, it was so annoying when watching YouTube and accidentally turn the screen off.
Not sure about the color combos vs iPhone, I think most are nice except for the green and purple ones.

Also, iPhone had been around for almost 3 years while S3 just came out so a little unfair to say they have ugly colors. I'm sure more colors will be available in the future.

alignment issues arent a problem
and as for the buttons i'm sure they'll easen up after some use
i love otterbox cases. i have them since DHD, Incredible S, Sensation XE and now with Galaxy S III.
with regards to buttons being hard to press it's relative. although i did experience it was easier with my Incredible S and Sensation XE, but i have no complaints (major) on my SGS3
btw i hate the color blue and black otterbox commuter case specially on a white SGS3

Yes, I personally would not go for the black or blue on a white S3 since they have a nice white/Grey case that would look much nicer. I choose the blue becuase I think it would look good on my blue S3. I do wish the back had a bit more texture for grip but it'll be protected if it slips out of your hands.

I've had my Otterbox Commuter for almost a month. When I first put it on, the camera didn't line up so I played around with the silicone part and it lined up. The buttons, in my experience anyway, don't get easier to press. You do get used to pressing a little harder though.
While I feel like my Commuter offers good enough protection, I think I'll wind up getting a Defender. The Commuter is just too thin. In my line of work I need something that, if I fall on it or if it gets knocked off of the counters, it won't be damaged. My previous $3 case offered extreme protection with a kickstand.

Sorry but that is a bad color combination.

I can't seem to get the black one to line up either. And the power button gets easier to press over time (2 weeks for me), or I just got used to it. My biggest complaint is the home button is annoying to press with one hand and sometimes even with two. If I'm not mistaken, the Seidio cases follow the outline of the home button, making it easier to press.

Dean you better come this friday.
i'm not a big fan of the blue otterbox nightsky... this is the case i have(with my white gs3). It looks pretty nice.. Picked it up in the sprint store for a decent price compared to online.
i'd paste the image here but it's against XDA's TOS because i'm not at 10 posts yet.. apparently i'm not cool enough yet so i attatched the image here.
Grey and white ftw! :good:
I ordered the atomic case. Will post pics. Should be here today.
