Look pretty nice, but not my thing, for that price I'd rather get a full body case.

I tried out a bumper case when I first got my S3. It was the Belkin version. To me it just didn't feel right. I don't think bumper cases work for this phone. Its not shaped right for it. The iPhone because it has flat sides. Our phones have too much curve.
I think you guys are right. I just bought the Belkin bumper today and it just feels odd on this phone.
I guess I'll be picking up a Neo Hybrid when they fix the button issue in a couple weeks.

I placed an order for one, just to see how it feels since I never used a bumper case on S3. I'm guessing I will get it sometime next week with the "Surprise Gift" SGP is offering right now. I wonder what it is... i hope it's not another kuel stylus :/
@Hound88
SGP customer service told me button issues are fixed ONLY on Neo Hybrid - Jade Blue. Infinity White and the Rubine Red Color Series are suppose to be in stock later on this week.

Cool, let us know how you like it. Good news about the Neo in Jade Blue as it's the one I'll be ordering. What's the difference between the two Neo Hybrids? One is the Lumi which is not the one I want because I like the purple back better.

Definitely will keep you update with SGP bumper case. No difference except for colors. I have the infinity white color series. I actually didn't like the purple but it grew on me. It looks actually lot better than dark grey lumi series

I had the same problem with neo hybrid and they are shipping me a new one when they come out with a new one (I bought the white one previous) on the 23rd I got a shipping number so either you are wrong or i'm getting a different colour.

I had also the NEO Hybrid and traded it in for the Modello series, since they had problems with the buttons, they said they are working on fixing that , so im sure ill get that again when it comes out
They look nice but the color choices are horrible, very girly.
OMG!!! Q_Q bastards... now they posted new LUMI Series Bumpers...

I agree. SGP is my favorite case company but they are really pissing me off with these color choices. My Nocturne Black Modello looks great and I would like to get a Neo Hybrid but they only have those bright and fruity colors. I know that Samsung was trying to be different when they chose their colors for the S3 but that doesn't mean that the case companies have to go that route too.

Anyone purchase this case in any color? Reviews seem real good and it has cut outs for all ports. I just ordered the white on eBay for 7 bucks. I'll update if anyone is interested to know more about it. If anyone owns this case a quick review would be great. Here's the link to the amazon one so everyone can look at the case.

I've got that exact one for my LTE Nexus w/ extended battery. Fits great, adds hardly any bulk plus it provides better grip than stock.
Awesome. You got the white or black? If white, for how long? Hoping the white doesn't go a yellowish tint like I've heard other white tpus get.

White. Only had it for a week but it hasn't turned yellow yet lol.
Is the fit really that good for the LTE? Can you take some up close pics of the screen edges please?
I will once I get mine. But all the reviews on the black on amazon give it real good ratings becuz of fit and cuts. I state black but they are both identical
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
It fits perfect. I have a LTE with extended battery. There is a slight lip so the screen won't touch anything when you lay it face down. No idea where my camera is so I can't take any pics.
is it just me, or do these seem exactly like the Diztronic but without the branding?
This is what it seems like to be honest. The diztronic without branding. I own a matte diztronic and I like it but I've been wanting a white case. Plus the case without the branding is a plus for me.

Thanks. Would appreciate if you can also mention the "bulk" it adds compared to the diztronics. Might be exactly same bulk, less, more... whichever it is, I'm curious to know.
I have both the Diztronic rev 3 case and the white cimo case. If you set the two cases side by side, you can not tell the difference, the Cimo case just does not have the emblem that is on the back. Minus that they are virtually identical. I have the matte black case for the diztronic and i would say that both these cases are the same, jus not branding on the cimo case.
Alright so I got my case today and to me its a diztronic without the icon on the back as mentioned. The case causes a lip so if placed face down on the screen, it will be lying on the case. Side by side they seemed identical as well, diztronic and this case that is.

As the name suggests, the Ultra Thin, is "ultra thin." If you want something slim, you should go with it or get the Neo Hybrid instead if you want more protection.
Well, SGP did mention they are either going to make it with TPU or semi-TPU, hopefully that's the case instead of silicone
I've had the Neo Hybrid for the SG2 but never had the sagging issue. I hope that's not the case cause I really like the feel of them. Will definitely get it when it is available.
the sagging issue is due to taking the phone out of the casing too frequently? as least that was what happened for me
the sagging issue should NOT be present in the S3 version according to SGP (in the YouTube video)... The representative or whatever commenting saying new material is being used that is stronger and will not sagg

There shipping later this month, they have 2 other cases out within the next week or so.

Anyone going to pull the trigger on the SGP Modello Case? Appears as it was just released and at a pretty good price ($14.99).
Edges of the phone do not appear to be complete covered in their press shot pictures, but it looks thin and of high quality--used the ultra capsule on the i9100.

$30 and it doesn't even say Nexus on it?!?!
Come on Google... It's basically a Ringke Slim or Spigen Ultra Fit for more than 3x the price. You could of at least slapped on the Nexus branding.

I actually prefer the Google branding. I don't think I'll ever encounter another person in real life who will know what "Nexus" refers to. Anyways, these cases look to resemble the crappy Spigen/Ringke hard cases, and not the incredible sandpaper ones on eBay. We'll have to see who decides to drop $30 and put up a review.
Looks too similar to the lg thin cases. I'm surprised they'd even put these out.

Only thing is that the LG Hardshell protects more, the top is not covered at all with this case and the bottom is also less covered. I don't understand why they try to sell this product for more money with less protection/functionality. Must be a mistake

I bought the older black Google Nexus 5 OEM case with the "Nexus" logo on the back. I got it on eBay for last week for like $14.00, but it kinda sucks. I shouldn't say it sucks, but definitely not my style of case. I prefer as minimal as possible, where this case has much more bulk and a thicker lip that goes over the glass. Another thing I don't like is the volume & power buttons are covered. They aren't too hard to press, but it's different for sure. I knew I should have bought the LG minimal case. I really liked the pictures and reviews. I got caught up in wanting the "Nexus" logo on the back. I was blinded!
