[REVIEW] Anyone familiar with tech21 products? - Galaxy S III Accessories

Picked this up today from Currys (25 quid) the plastic used on the back/sides portion is odd. It grips like it's rubber, but you cannot gouge the surface with a fingernail. Tough as old boots, reputedly able to withstand a wire brushing without marks. also with funky orange absorption panels inside.
The front flap that protects the screen is semi rigid, with a mock suede type fabric inside, and a leather like material outside, that also feels rubbery, and although not as resistant to gouging as the back, any gouges that could be left by keys etc, seem to disappear after a couple of minutes, coupled with a general high quality feel make me think these are going to be a popular brand.
[UPDATE]
Been living with this case for a month now, and I have to say it`s looking like it`s going to stand up to pretty much anything. Although I don`t use it during the workdays, (too grippy, won`t slide in and out of my overalls pocket) It`s the case I go for any other time.
I initially feared that handling it with dirty oily hands (I do occasionally) that it would stain a lot more than it does, but a good wipe down with a damp microfibre cloth, and it`s sparkling again

Ringke Case review

Well I got sick of the added bulk/weight of my verizon dual case looking around on ebay I found this Ringke case. It's a silicone case, not too much added protection if it were dropped but just for daily use it's good enough. It definitely improves the power button feel, barely even have to touch it. Fit's nice and snug on the phone adds almost nothing to it. It isn't like most silicone cases collecting lint/getting stuck in your pocket it's a different material never seen it on a phone case before Only real complaint is with after market chargers the rubber kind of gets in the way but other then that I have zero complaints about it. For the price I think it was a decent deal.
just figured there might be others out there not sure about it, like I was and give a little insight on it.

Ringke Case
if really wanted I could get pictures of mine on the phone.
I'll post a video review in a couple days. If your looking for a case which add very little bulk to the phone this is it. High quality silicone which doesn't pick up lint, dust or dirt.

Galaxy Nexus Black Premium PU Leather Flip Case Review

I was extremely paranoid about scratching my screen. However, I have the absolute worst luck when it comes to install a screen protector with NO bubbles. Im kinda OCD, and if i install a screen protector and there is even 1 single small bubble I have to throw it away and start over. After many failed attempts, I started looking for cases with screen protection built in. I ran across this case on Amazon...
http://www.amazon.com/SAMSUNG-PREMIUM-LEATHER-QUBITS-PACKAGING/dp/B0062VEF98/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1325196994&sr=8-1
At only $8.95 I thought this was a steal. Judging by the photos it looked like it could do the job of a screen protector and case just fine. In fact, it would probably protect the screen BETTER than just a regular screen protector in case it falls.
After using the case for a day now, I can say I am extremely pleased with it, especially since its so cheap . Using the Gnex with this case actually feels more comfortable in my hands than without. Here is a run down:
PROS:
Feel more comfortable to hold.
Magnetic clip makes it easy to secure case.
Material feels great.
Really gives a sense of protection.
Phone feels really secure once placed inside.
You can use the extended battery (see images below).
Cons:
With the extended battery, the on button can be a little difficult to press
Can add a little too much bulk for some people.
Taking the phone out of the case can feel difficult. Try too hard and it will pop out so be prepared.
With extended battery, the device slightly rises above the plastic clip.

Good case that's available in the UK!

Hi guys,
I bought this case the other day, after buying a £14 360 degree rotation case on ebay at the same time I bought my Note 10.1... It was cool, cause you could separate the case, and use just the inner case without the cover bit, but it was crap quality. It felt crap, wasn't lined, the camera on the front wasn't lined up, and I wasn't satisfied.
Upon looking for another case that I could buy that was in the UK, I found the "The Pad'" 'folio case' by Shocksock....
It's only a few quid more than the other case I bought, but is miles better. Everything lines up really well, and the case, while not oozing quality, feels nice, and looks smart. There is a couple of sharp feeling sticky-outy threads, where the sewing has been done, and the thread cut, but other than that, it's great. It's a shame it's not seperatable, but it's just miles better, and reasonable IMO for £20. I certainly couldn't find anything that looked better, so took a punt. It can also be positioned at any angle, due to a hard velcro ridge at the bottom of the tablet that sticks into and on the lining of the cover. The magnet seems a little weak, but it's closing nicer now the Note has settled into the case and stretched it in the right places - It also feels cushioned and very protective... recommended.

Thanks for the pics, that does look very good for 20 quid!
The design is different from a lot of the cases up for sale available via links on this forum.
One question though, is there a gap/cut out for the S-pen?
Unfortunately this came a little too late for me though, I purchased the original Samsung book case in dark grey and have a noreve leather one on order.
It's BULKY!

**Hard Shell Dual Silicone Case from tmart.com REVIEW!**

So this is a review of a nice dual-protection case from tmart.com! It's called the Hard Shell Silicone Case, and it comes in a few colors. I chose the black and gray because it looks best with my white GS3. honestly, I was never into big cases, but i think i'm going to run this case for a while because it just feels nice, and does add a bit more protection!
here's a few pics:

so like i said, the case feels nice and sturdy. it's not TOO bulky, but it's bulkier than i'm used to (basic TPU cases like zoogue, diztronic etc) but again, it does add some protection. it reminds me of a Ballistic dual protection case, honestly. and it's so cheap that it's totally worth it to try it out!
really no cons. everything seems to line up well...at first, though, I noticed when I was taking pictures with flash, there seemed to be a darker spot to the left in the image. upon further inspection, it seemed the flash/camera hole weren't lined up perfectly. all i had to do was take the phone out and re-align it within the case, and this was solved. so, it's not an issue, it's just like every other case out there where it has to be put in perfectly for everything to align well. (i had the same issue with diztronic and zoogue, where the charge port hole wouldn't line up and the charger would fall out.)
the charger port hole seems cut out well, but bigger usb ends don't stay in well. the samsung one is fine, but if you're using another brand (i have a blackberry USB laying around) it kind of wiggles so you really have to make sure it's in.
in the end, this case is awesome! totally worth it for the price!

Review-Gadgetsheildz for Nexus 5(Skin)

I have been looking around for a good Skin that covers even the curved edges of the Nexus 5 screen, offers best protection.I eventually stumbled upon Gadgetshieldz. They had a good collection of skins and screen protectors but i was not sure about the company nor their pricing as they were half of dbrand.I researched through the internet and found that it was an indian company
Without thinking further i blindly ordered a "White Carbon Fiber Skin"(i blindly ordered because i live in India and i was sure to get the product within a week or so) and guess what?!
The quality was excellent.I find the texture truly amazing It's a white carbon fibre.The delivery was fast than expected.The prices of these skins are half of dbrand.The skins include protection for the front, back and sides although I didn't bother to apply them on the sides due to the matte finishing.But at last i did and my N5 feels like a new phone
The downside is that there's no spray and not even a cleaning cloth that's very bad.
I've attached some pics of my Nexus 5 with the skin applied

The NEXUS logo blends really well with the skin.Overall I'm quite satisfied with my purchase. The skin is quite grippy and it's better than the original as its resistant to fingerprints. It has a nice feel to it. The cutouts are very precise
Pros: Durable,wide range,faster shipping,Extremely cheap
Cons:No spray,Cloth or cleaner
By the way if anyone is interested i'll leave the link here:https://www.gadgetshieldz.in/skinnova-skins-for-nexus-5.html
Their site:https://www.gadgetshieldz.in/
.And now that I have installed it, I can vouch for the fact that indeed its a great Skin to have for the Nexus 5.
Hope you guys like the review.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask me.
Update:With pics
Whole body covered with Carbon Fibre
