So I got this over a week ago and I think I have had enough experience with it to review it. First off this case will not be for everyone. First off, the $50 price point will turn most away. But if you're on the hunt for a great quality leather flip case that's stylish and feels fantastic in the hand, this is the case for you!
Okay first off it does not add so much bulk. It feels smooth. The material feels great. The design both in and out of the case look great. Now this case flip open vertically. There is no magnet. There is a clip that hands onto the little indent on the top of the phone. As you can see in the pics, not everything is covered. A lot of the top is exposes. There are cutouts for the buttons on the side. Very little is exposed at the bottom. If it were to fall bottom first, no damage would be done to the bottom.
The case comes in this fancy little box. Inside the box SGP included not one but two Nano screen protectors (one I installed easily) with a cloth and a little card to push out bubbles.
I have talked on the phone with this thing on. At first it wasn't an issue. But if you tend to walk fast or run while on the phone, the flap will slap you back and forth lol it only happened to me twice but wasn't a big issue
The design is what really caught me. I was gonna get the original SGP Argos but when I seen this, the design just caught my attention. I don't know if they use genuine leather but it sure does smell and feel like it.
Of course this case won't be for everyone. The flap always being open and $55 price point will turn people away. This is not an every day case for me. It is a night life type of case for me. Meaning when I go out at night or go anywhere where I really wanna look good, this case comes with me.
Well that's all I can say about it for now. If anyone has any questions, just let me know. Hope someone out there found this useful
*will post more pics in a moment*

If you're looking for a clear case, you really have 2 options:
- Plastic
- TPU
The plastic options out there are endless. As you already saw on ebay, there are a plethora of manufacturers who crank these out that you can get for dirt cheap. In my experience though, as with anything in life, you get what you pay for. They usually add a good deal of bulk and scratch pretty easily. Also, consider these "single use". Drop them once and they're pretty much done
TPU cases are a great option. You can usually get these for pretty cheap as well and add less bulk than plastic. But I usually find that the "clear" options are more semi-transparent rather than completely see-through and have a frosted look. If you have the white GSIII, it'll look perfect but i imagine that it won't look so great on the pebble blue (which is what i have). Another downside of "clear" TPU is that they pick up dyes from fabrics very easily. If you wear jeans everyday like I do, after about a month or so you'll see the case slowly start to stain blue.
For my new GSIII, I decided to give this badboy a shot:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0082P8K6G/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i01
A little pricey for a plastic shell but it seemed to minimize bulk and will look good with the pebble blue version
I feel dumb now. I guess when I had done the search for cases I put specifically for the t999 and forgot they were all compatible with each other.the only ones that kept popping up were black ones. Thank you for the help guys. Just ordered ones of the tpu cases

I had that exact same case for my GSII.
I loved the textured side grips and the unique S wave in the back. My only small gripe was that it was a little bulkier than other TPU chases I've had. Overall, I'm sure you'll be happy

Heres a few pics of the casemate case for the s3. I had to go to an at&t store because bestbuy had no accessories (prolly be here on 28th right lol) and i didnt like the sprint ones. And it has a VISOR AG screen protector on it. If your like me and had no clue what these were basically its a screen protector that covers the whole front of the phone not just the screen its self. Its clear for the screen and if you notice its clear not cut out for the back and menu buttons. Then the outer layer is white or blue depending on what color you have. Also this screen protector is fingerprint and bubble free. Normally im an otterbox defender or ballistic HC guy but i gotta admit im liking this

I just ran up to the att store and bought the same setup you did. The grip on the side was most important and it is outstanding. The visor screen cover is excellent as well because there is little to no touch loss. In addition its washable and replaceable. My phone was blue and they only had the white visor, so now it appears white with the white case.
Cons: the stand is very flimsy, but I don't care I never use it.
Loving it, thanks for the heads up.

Is the headphone port really recessed? I used headphones with an angled connector.
It's an awesome case. I'm glad I got it as well!
It's rubbery where it needs to be, and hard case where it needs to be.
I was also going to pass on it, but the case was so good, I overlooked it.

I've got the same case, direct from Case-mate (Used code 'tough' for 20% off, not sure if it's still active FYI).
I love the case, with one exception.... that kickstand is damn flimsy and unless you're on a PERFECT level surface, forget about Portrait mode. (And yes the website says it's good for portrait or laandscape).
I've emailed Case-Mate to see if they are aware of the kickstand issues and are planning to do anything about them (like retool to a metal like Seidio)....
I need to find a Seidio one local so I can see it in action to determine which I'll keep for the long haul. This one feels real nice in the hand though.
Still waiting on my screen protectors in the mail.. bought like 3 different brands (2 cheapie and 1 seidio), figure i'll try something new

Good :
- Rubber grips on the side
- Buttons click well
- Kickstand
- Feels sturdy overall
- Headphone jack area accommodates even the largest jacks.
Bad :
- Kickstand feels flimsy
- Rubber on back peels and stains the back of the case (will wipe off though)
- Back is raised so it doesn't rest on the rubber grips. It'll spin in place.
- Headphone port area cracked a little (tiny) when trying to remove phone from case. In other words, not enough plastic.
Advice: Buy but only in white (Which I have). It scratches easily like Speck cases. You won't see scratches on the white but I guarantee you'll see them all over the black one within 5 minutes of putting it on.

I wonder how this will work or if it even will work with a glass screen protector?
First off its called the ivisor. I have had this same setup for over a month now. I got tired of the sp yes it looks good but go out in the sunlight and try to use your phone its impossible to see.

I've used AG iVisor for a few phones now and they have always been outstanding. I presently have one on a SGS 2, Nokia Lumia 900 and my SGS3.
So I seem to have issue with the SGS3s iVisor. While the iVisor fits well, when I put a case on, it pushes the sides of the iVisor up and away from the screen, simply pushing it off the face of the phone. I have tried 3 different cases (non of which are the same as mentioned in the OP), that being said, the case should not matter...
Has anyone else encountered a similar problem?
I attribute it to the (almost zero edge) construction of the phone. This problem has not occurred on either of the other devices mentioned.
Yes the case does make a diffence some just push up the ivisor I have this problem with many of cases on reason I don't recommended this product.

Normally, SGP makes very high quality products and I was excited to see they had an orange case! Long story short, I ordered it and it was AWFUL. It does NOT fit the phone. I have some pictures attached - enjoy my white, hairy leg on one of them. I don't have much to say about it so I'll break things down quickly.
PRO'S:
Thin
Lightweight
Incredible Packaging
CONS:
Doesn't Fit
Feels extremely cheap
doesn't cover bottom or top of the phone
Did I mention it doesn't fit?
Picture's 1 & 2 are of the offending side of the case while Picture 3 shows the other side fitting perfectly.

I was thinking about getting that, especially since they have an orange case. I have loved all of their cases. Great product. I purchased the Urban Gear case instead, which is really nice as well. Also, use the code FREESHIPPING and you'll have it in 2-3 days according to their website. I'm sure this is a Labor Day event.

Ya. Im really getting upset with Spigen lately. Their cases look so nice. I had the Glas screen protector and all it did was collect dust/hair on the sides of the protector so I removed it. I ordered the Neo Hybrid and the volume buttons wouldnt work, exchanged it and thankfully the new one worked. Now I order a mint green Ultra Thin case and the stupid thing doesnt fit, it is so loose on the left side. How does a company let so much garbage get to their customers? I mean, they do have a good customer service, but shouldnt someone check these things before they ship!?!?!
---------- Post added at 01:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:49 AM ----------
Oh and before you criticize me, Ive NEVER returned a case/accessory before dealing with Spigen. First time having a problem with a phone case.
Sgp customer support is really failing.. They don't even answer questions about their products via email or Facebook.. If my neo hybrid doesn't work properly when it arrives it will probably be the last product I'll be buying from them.

This seems to be a recent phenomenon. Maybe they are getting overloaded with all the defective products for the SGS3? They've had to redo screen protectors and discontinue products. I emailed them asking if they've made changes to the Neo Hybrid because of the button issue - no response yet. Sort of a shame that they are continuing to sell these things when the reviews on their very own site all say there is a defect. Hopefully yours will be the exception.
I've actually had better experiences with Cretouch, they seem to be on top of things and speak on behalf of SGP in a much quicker fashion.
Haven't seen any posts on these cases here thinking about buying one looking for some comments or if anyone owns one maybe they can chime on if they like them. I think they look tight

I have the px260 and like it. Very solid case. Only negatives are that the headphone jack area is very deep which made it difficult to find one that fit and also that its kind of slick if you just set it on the console while driving it slides around. Also you need to use their screen protector. Reason being is that because the case clamps down so tight a protector that goes to the edges will be pushed up in the corners. Though one of the glass protectors may not have this problem.

I would buy it again. I also have the ballistic HD case but replaced it with the PX. The only other case I will try out will be the sedio obex once its available. The good thing about the PX case is it is not real thick which I like so not sure if the sedio will be too much for me.

So I ended up getting the flu so I didn't get to take the time to take better pictures or write up a good review. For now here are some pictures I took with my s3 and just give a brief review.
The case is thin but feels nice. It adds good grip to the phone without adding bulk. Everything fits just right. No ports or holes are off line. One thing I noticed is on the back there is a sort of wet effect between the phone and the case because the glossy back is sticking to the case. I tried to show that with a few pictures. Not an issue for me but just something to keep in mind. You can see the crystal reflection back faintly through this smoke case.
The sides have a nice ribbing for grip. There are openings for the volume and power buttons which are recessed to prevent accidentally triggering them. I was able to fit the Samsung and LG Usb cables through the microusb port cutout. The headphone cutout is big too so I was able to fit my headphone cable and aux cable easily.
The case is thick enough to reach the thickness of the camera so the phone feels all even which is great. You can put the phone down on its back without worry. On the front you might be able to see that the lip comes around enough to keep the screen from touching anything if it's set down face first. This comes at a price though, it lifts screen protectors off.
Overall the case feels great and looks great, I have their cases for all of my devices. It's very minimal in size so font expect amazing protection but for some who isn't looking for bulk this is perfect. It won't ever stick in your pocket or collect lint. It adds some grip and a cool logo on the back.
I'm still very limited writing this from bed so if anyone has questions or wants more info/pics let me know. I'll add pics of the clear one later.

I was able to fit the Samsung and LG Usb cables through the microusb port cutout. The headphone cutout is big too so I was able to fit my headphone cable and aux cable easily.
The case is thick enough to reach the thickness of the camera so the phone feels all even which is great. You can put the phone down on its back without worry. On the front you might be able to see that the lip comes around enough to keep the screen from touching anything if it's set down face first. This comes at a price though, it lifts screen protectors off.
Overall the case feels great and looks great, I have their cases for all of my devices. It's very minimal in size so font expect amazing protection but for some who isn't looking for bulk this is perfect. It won't ever stick in your pocket or collect lint. It adds some grip and a cool logo on the back.
I'm still very limited writing this from bed so if anyone has questions or wants more info/pics let me know. I'll add pics of the clear one later.

So I ended up getting the flu so I didn't get to take the time to take better pictures or write up a good review. For now here are some pictures I took with my s3 and just give a brief review.
The case is thin but feels nice. It adds good grip to the phone without adding bulk. Everything fits just right. No ports or holes are off line. One thing I noticed is on the back there is a sort of wet effect between the phone and the case because the glossy back is sticking to the case. I tried to show that with a few pictures.

Is that the black one or the smoke?
