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.

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.

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.

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?

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.
I'm pretty much a minimalist when it comes to phone cases.
I already have ghost armor film on the front so I just need a bumper that protects the side bezel, just like iPhone 4's. I'd rather not have back cover since I have a white gs2.
Is there anything like that available?
nothing, how about something like this?http://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-TPU-T...405692?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3cc0116ebc

I'm pretty sure D30 had release them. They had it where you can have the bumpers only, or with the clear back. I saw them while I was inside the T-Mobile store a couple of weeks ago. Not sure if they have it in all the corporate stores.
I'm surprised there is not many option available for t-mobile version gs2... I just ordered white version of elbarto's link though it's not exactly what I was looking for.will post picss once I receive it. thansk everyone
I take that back, it was for the Galaxy S 4G, not the Galaxy S II 4G
The D30 flex protect is the closest thing to a bumper for our phone.

Have you considered getting a clear TPU case? I also have the white GS2 and I ordered this case right here:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00620FT76/ref=oh_o02_s00_i00_details
Honestly, I think it looks ****ty on the black model, but I can vouch for it on the white one. It fits snugly on the phone and has power button and volume rocker cutouts. It's nice because it's totally transparent and you can see the white back. If anything, it just makes the phone look more badass.

Not taking any chances with this device. TPU cases offer minimal protection against drops, sure its cheap but I'd rather dish out the extra bucks for a reliable case. I have dropped my device many times already from carpet (not much to that I know ) to hardwood floors and the case has kept my device looking like new.

If you are minimalist, then you don't need a screen protector for your device. The screen of your device is pretty resistant (Gorilla corning).
For case, I am also looking for one, the thinnest I have seen are the carbon ones. TPU ones are a bit bulky IMO.

I'm still digging my D3O. I've yet to experience big drops (I'm really hoping not though). People complain too much over the buttons saying that they are too hard to press but really they soften over time.

Same here. i keep going back to my black body glove, even though it provides hardly any protection for my phone.
I had one for my Vibrant a year ago, which i dropped on carpet, the case popped off and SOMEHOW scratched the screen of my phone.
But, i sure like how it feels on the phone though.

My apologies.
I did get the case today. It's a little thicker than I was expecting but it's probably the same thickness as most dual protection cases. The inner layer is rubber and the outer layer is plastic. Its a little whiter than my phone is. The buttons are really easy to press. It's white so I'm expecting it to get dirty lol. There are different color combinations from the same seller on ebay. So if you have black or white there are some options for you. I'm loving the quality of the case. The fitment is great compared to another case I had.
I am no way associated with the seller.
I have attached some pictures. I got some ink stains on it already. I guess my hands were dirty.
Got the Seidio from Amazon with the holster for the same pricce as just the case on Seidio.com.

I have this case and it is bulky but that's to be be expected. The kickstand already has signs of cracking. I bought this case cuz at work, I keep my phone in my work shirt pocket and every time i go to lean down (with my old slick case) the phone fell out. This case stopped that but now is a PITA to pull outta my pocket sometimes. And if i happen to have any additional items in my pocket, the case pulls that out too when removed. It's a 'damned if you do, damned if you don't' kinda situation. It does get the job done and I at least feel comfortable if my phone took a leap outta my pocket or off the fridge...

Hey just wanted to give my input...
I have the Seidio Active case and the kickstand does NOT work in portrait mode, only landscape. BUT it does offer 2 angles in landscape. Aside from that I gotta say this is the 2nd Seidio Active case I've had, the other was for my HTC Sensation 4G, and this is the best case I've ever used for any phone. I'll be buying another one for whatever my next phone after the SGS2 ends up being.

I'm leaning hard on the Seidio case. I'm surprised it's not Portrait supported though, cause it kind of looked like it could be in a pic I saw using the belt clip I believe?
What's the difference in the 2 angles you mentioned?
Thanks in advance.
Hmmm... I don't know anything about the belt clip you mentioned. But the 2 landscape angles i mentioned turned out to be 3 after i played with it some more, you just have to flip the phone 180 to get the third angle. The lowest is around 20 degrees, then there's slightly more than 45 degrees maybe 50, and finally it stands almost completely upright, I'd guess around 85 degrees.

My apologies.
I did get the case today. It's a little thicker than I was expecting but it's probably the same thickness as most dual protection cases. The inner layer is rubber and the outer layer is plastic. Its a little whiter than my phone is. The buttons are really easy to press. It's white so I'm expecting it to get dirty lol. There are different color combinations from the same seller on ebay. So if you have black or white there are some options for you. I'm loving the quality of the case. The fitment is great compared to another case I had.
I am no way associated with the seller.
I have attached some pictures. I got some ink stains on it already. I guess my hands were dirty.

Hello everyone. I just got a Speck case in gray/black and thought I'd throw some comparison photos up. So far I love my Speck case.
The Speck case was a little tight around the volume key, which made it hold the volume up button down. I slipped a piece of paper in above the volume key and now it functions perfectly. Hopefully it'll stretch out with time and allow me to take the paper out. I'll keep you guys updated. The Speck case is a little bit more bulky than the Cruzerlite, but feels more solid.
The Cruzerlites were a little sharp around the edges which peeled my screen protector (Flex HD) up. I sanded them down a little, which fixed the issue, but i managed to scuff the inside of the back up a little. That's what the line around the top corner is in a few of the pictures.

Did you get the speck case in a store or online?
Also is the color "Soot/Black" or "Black/Dark grau)" on their website?
Thanks!

I bought it in store. It was labeled "Gray/Black CandyShell" on the sticker, but it looks like it must be the "Soot/Black" color.

Makes sense why the site is out of stock on that color. they all must be in stores lol

My local AT&T store. They only had this color in stock, and judging from their website, they aren't stocking any of the other colors (yet). I was hoping for the lighter gray, but this is growing on me!

Oh nice!
I'm getting a blue S3 and wanted the dark grey case at first and waited for it to appear on their site as available for a week which it never did so the light gray with pebble blue out lines grew on me after visiting the site so much so I ordered it last night lol

I got the clear/white Android cruzerlite case and the Cimo case.
I can't really recommend the Cimo case, but the Cruzerlite ones are awesome. Adds just enough grip and protection without turning the phone into a huge oversized brick. (I accidentally dropped my sgs3 about 3.5' getting out of the Jeep and it just bounced - no damage to the phone or case. And they have just enough lip on the face to protect it when you set it down on mostly-flat surfaces.) Someone was telling me they are made in the USA, which is an added bonus if true.
I love those Speck cases, but I swear your "grey/black" looks different from the "soot/black" photos elsewhere. Maybe just the lighting or because it's on a white phone.
I do believe I'll have to run into my local ATT store this weekend and pick one up.
Where did you get the clear matte one? I cant find it on amazon, i found the teal but not the,clear matte. Would you guys say get the diztronic clear matte or cruzerlite?

Actually, made in China (all accessories like this are, labor is simply too expensive in the US), however we are a small US business based in Murfreesboro, TN. You can read more about us here: http://www.cruzerlite.com/cruzerlite-team
Thanks for being a customer, glad you are enjoying our products!

Thank you SOOO much. I was mad when my Speck case came in today and the volume rocker was sticking. That tip worked perfectly. I used scotch tape and it did the trick.

I'm having the same problem with my case peeling up my flex hd. I may try sanding as well.

Incipio SILICRYLIC in blue exclusively for T-Mobile USA.
The case is very, very nice. The soft material is very comfortable and a joy to grip. The plastic is also a great "soft" feeling material. I've jumped through 4 premium cases so far and this is by far the best one for what I want in a case. The only thing that stopped me from buying this in the 1st place, was the colors available on the Incipio site. The color of this one is more of a metallic teal than the blue that it looks in the pictures. I'd rather have the blue, but the teal is very attractive in person.
The case is $30 at T-Mobile (I snagged it for like $23). I would've payed the $30 though no problem. Cause I feel the case is way better than some that are priced higher.
The main thing about this case - It's easy to take off so I can swap batteries. This is a must for me as I've tried it with the speck case, the body glove dimensions and the case-mate barely there and this is by far the easiest to take off.
When it comes to protection, this is number 1 from the ones I've tried. And that includes the speck candy shell. The reason this beats the speck? Cause you seriously run a risk of cracking the gs3 screen while trying to remove it from the speck. And there should be no reason that a case, can make you risk breaking your phone while trying to do a simple task like removing it.
Some say "use a tool to remove the speck". Nah, I'll pass. If the 10 tools that I use daily for other jobs (fingers), can't remove the case, then the case is a p.o.s.
If the phone falls in this case, it has just as much of a survival rate as that of the candy shell, if not more... I have dropped phones from waist high with a Incipio feather on it and it didn't have a mark on it (gs2). I'm pretty sure that this case can do better. The candy shell, though it has a hard and soft material, is a lot less shock absorbing than this. The reason is the specks "soft material", isn't nearly as soft as this Incipio case. And for that reason alone, I feel there's a risk of less shock absorption with it than this case.. Drop a rock and a sponge and tell me which one does better...
Here's the pics.

How is the sides? Does the rubber lift up while handling it. Seems like it might with not much support along the sides. Also how are the button presses? Still crisp and "clicky" if you will?

Nah, it doesn't really "lift up". Of course where the volume buttons are it's a little "looser" than the rest. But it has less support. It's not a problem as it only "lifts up" when you try to make it "lift up".
I too have the Incipio "silicrylic" for my galaxy s3. Ebay order, about $25 IIRC. I went with the standard black and was pleased as well.
Echo the comments on the "soft" feeling texture of the case. It is a snug fit, but nothing that would damage the phone going on/off. Rubber comes up and around the sides for a ridge on the face (clear in your pics) I'd take some pics of mine but black is black lol...
All around a great case. I have this case and the vented Samsung (the one with the coin kickstand thing). I use this case daily.
The two layer approach, rubber + the shell really seems effective.
Oh, and fit around the buttons is excellent imho. I don't feel it takes any more effort or is any difficult at all with the rubber case over the buttons.
The screen protector they give you with it isn't that great though (imho). I've tried both ZAGG and Skinomi, plus the one that came with the Incipio. So far, I like Skinomi the best, but I ordered the ZAGG replacement because the store guy goofed the install...
Anyway man great review, I feel ya on giving it high marks. I like that case as well. Not a bad pick up for $25. :laugh:
Biggest downside is you're covering up a fine looking phone!
how you get it for 23?
He might have use the coupon before it expired.
OP, does the plastic have a quality finish around the edges? Can you get a close up?
Thanks.

There was a 30% coupon that expired on 6/30. You can't stack it with the 25% employee discount. Some did stack with the buy 2 get one free. No longer valid though.
Are the edges rounded and have a nice finish? I had it for my Amaze and the case was haggard. Sharp edges and they didn't have much attention to detail.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2
Yea, nah, I didn't use them but wish I would've known about those before they expired.
The edges are not jagged or anything. The whole case is smooth
These are cheaper on Amazon though than they are with the 20% off from Incipio.
Could I get a top shot of the plastic part of the case and a close up of the edges finish? If you don't mind. Thank you.

How a the grip? I'm sorta worried about the phone sliding out of my pocket while I'm sitting or when I go to stand up so I'm looking for a case that's got some texture to it maybe.

The edges have enough silicone to stay in place. As long as you don't have super tight pants you're fine.
Anyone know where the Yellow/Grey case is exclusive to? Seems like different carriers may have gotten different colors?

I thought the yellow was available on the Incipio website. If not I saw a lot on ebay.

I have a black one on my gs3, and I would say the grip is good. It's "soft" and still has enough texture to be grippy. It shouldn't slide out of your pants. I use it with dress pants (think suit pants) at work everyday. No issue.
The texture of the outer shell is actually different than the inner rubber. Shell is more soft and smooth, while the inner rubber is soft and tacky. Top, bottom, and button covers are left as rubber, while the outer basically covers the back and corners. Hope that helps.
Thanks for the review, I just picked one up from my local T-mobile store, they were giving me weird looks for being in there when I had AT&T
It looks and feels fantastic on my blue phone, contrary to the pictures the outlining is more of a dark grey in limited/low lighting situations, not the light grey that you see in some of the pictures.
I tried the black/black (local AT&T prime mobile has that and the black/yellow) and I found that on the blue phone the black diminished the overall look of the phone imo.
I would really like the dark grey outlining and possibly a light grey/black cover, seems like it would look good like that, but I'm happy with my purchase, thanks again!
Edit: I'll try to take some pictures to show what I mean, they should be up later
