Short and to the point. Hope this gives you a better idea of the case.
Please hit thanks so I know I'm heading in the right direction to do more reviews!

Enjoy!
The cases I am getting to review are just getting better and better. The quality of the Spigen SGP cases are superb. None of the other dry application screen protectors fit. But Spigen SGP came to save us. The Valentinus I review is Vintage Brown. .

The Curved Crystal Screen Protector includes:
Two Steinheil Curved Crystal Screen Protectors, a micro-fiber cloth and a squeegee.
This is the Curve Crystal Screen Protector applied. It was easier than I thought. Just line it up and lay it down. Squeegee like normal.
Cut-outs are accurate. Camera does not show signs of interference.
Room for 3 cards and some bills.
MSRP: $15.99 Curved Crystal
$39.99 - $54.99 Valentinus Wallet Case - Available in 8 different variations.
This is my exact set up when I do not feel like using any of my other cases. Being a girl, this case comes in handy for when I don't feel like carrying my entire purse when making a quick run.

Denting?
Many people have complained about how easily the Curved Crystal is dented-- what's your experience with that problem?

I think the denting comes from it being thin? That's just an assumption.
Mine went on perfect. I think it's user install error. I've been doing screen protectors for years now on hundreds of phones. Work in wireless. I hate my life... But yeah. Its' fine. There's some weird curvy lines or something. I have no idea what it was. But from having it in my pocket, it worked itself out.
Yeah no matter how useful, practical, and convenient it would be... I don't think the macho douchebag inside me will ever let me get that case.

just curious of any real high quality cases. I have the innocase active right now and love it, but kinda wanting something a little thinner and less bulky and i know how the iphone has some very stylish, classy leather style cases, wood cases etc...
here you go

Can't get more high class than pink flowers diamond bling cases.
yeah those are interesting, just i would love to see (and i highly doubt it) like wooden cases. really nice leather cases.
I was going to suggest Vaja but their website doesn't show anything for the EVO as yet.
yeah went to the site, unfortunately nothing for evo. but thats something im looking for

i actully saw a customer come into my sprint store i workat with that case, it is pretty nice and slim. VERRRY slim. idk. i guess im askign for tooo much lol. would just love a reallly rich, classy, leather case or something
Idk, I don't think the market has matured enough with EVO's to warrant smaller companies making expensive cases for the Evo. I'd wait a few months before expecting anything like this.

I had that case and it is really nice AT FIRST. But just a little warning, if you live in a warm place like Florida(i do), then the glue holding that white fabric on will actually unstick and the fabric just starts falling off and peeling away. I really liked it before that though.
This guy on Ebay has really great reviews on other Android forums. He makes custom Leather cases for Evos.
Here are some of the different styles: http://bit.ly/aUofn1

How does this case do with the camera lens? Does the camera lens stick out past the case? Does it have a rubbery feel at all? I'm trying to find a nice hard case that will protect the camera lens and work with my ghost armor.
awesome is as awesome does!!
one word...... OTTERBOX
So, is there any new cases coming out from popular brands other than Otterbox?
I used this one from swiss army and it fits the captivate perfectly.

Yeah... I really wish Speck made cases for the Captivate.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
BUMP! May be something new coming up?
otterbox released their impact series case.. but no defender as of yet
Incipio just came out with a case for the captivate. I have one of their hard cases for my Zune HD and am very happy with the quality. I'm tempted to pick up one for my Captivate. Right now I'm using an Invisibleshield but wouldn't mind a little more protection.
I just got the Otterbox Impact case for the Captivate not ten minutes ago in the mail. Shipping was ok, I ordered it last Thursday. Seems really solid and thick enough that it could take a decent impact or drop. I like it so far but the increase in size will have to grow on me. It's not a ridiculous increase, puts it about to the size of a 3GS iPhone really. Other than that it comes with a screen protector and has a good feel in your hands. I got it for right under $18.00 with shipping using the coupon code "tb1010y".
Check this and this. These look pretty solid, and are very reasonably-priced!

Bought this case in the mall at a kiosk.
http://store.mybat.com/smoke-argyle-candy-skin-cover-18120.html
1. That design, barely visible. It's actually A LOT darker case. Especially when on the phone.
2. It's thick flexible plastic. Hard Gel-like. Not a rubber skin that gets caught up in your pocket.
3. It's the exact same shape as the phone. A true "skin'.
4. Light. Adds almost no additional weight to the phone.

I have that same case, only in green. I agree with your assessments, it really is a great case. I am curious about the Otterbox cases though, have never used them before.

IDK about the first one, but the snap on case isn't that good. I have the black version. The snaps are broken in several spots, the case opens itself when dropped (what good is that?), and occasionally when pulling out of my pocket the case is literally falling off.
YMMV, but if I had to do it again, I'd avoid the Amzer rubberized snap on case at all costs.
Body Glove TPU case is all you need.
Which cases/bumpers provide minor drop protection without adding bulk? Anything less bulky than TPU?

Excellent! Ordered!
But if it fell, there isn't anything to absorb shock, no? I figured a bumper would provide good protection because if it fell, the actual phone would never touch the floor and there isn't extra bulk added

exactly not every piece of phone is protected! try some 0.9mm thin silicon from ebay...this will not protect your phone ...
http://www.amazon.com/Amzer-AMZ9396..._1_7?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1339253840&sr=1-7
Anyone have that one?
Case mate "Barely there". Not much for protection but it doesn't add much bulk but will help for minor fumbles. If you wanted a case that would hold up from chest high drops, a minimal no bulk case isn't what anyone should be looking for anyway. I have the barely there on my thunderbolt and it has been very nice. For aonyone like me that doesn't drop there phone but wants a little more protection than a skin, the case mate option is great.

Man, they look nice (some of them), but they look massive as well... Not the kind of things that one would say "doesn't add bulk".

Buy a good casing to protect your SIII
Hi Guys,
just want to share my unfortunate event happened to my 8days old SIII.
To make story short I drop my S III on a hard surface, face down ( average height est 0.5 meter). Pick it up, heart dropped a moment. Display cracked. I had all this while put on screen protector as well as casing. Unfortunately.It does not do it job well. Went to Samsung service Ctr. Off course warranty not covered, Damage done USD$220 for replacement of entire front panel.
So my advice to you guys. Especially if you have occasionally butter fingers like I do. Get a good casing to protect your new S III.
Got the barely there case. Not much protection. Especially on the front where it is needed. Nice and sexy case.

This "Composite Poly-carbonate shell" Case looks pretty cool.

Nillkin Case
I really like the concept. I especially wanted something like this on the Samsung Galaxy Note, as it was rather big and hard to handle with one hand. Always feeling that you could drop it while trying to stretch your fingers over to reach and loosen your grip on the phone.

Got mine yesterday and I like it. Great case for $6.99 shipped. Looks nice, decent protection, and the kick stand works well. The only thing I don't like is that the back gets even hotter while using for an extended amount of time. Seems like the case covers too much and there's no place for the heat to flow.

Yes, it leaves it open. I've used my ear piece and my usb cable with no problems.
I bought the case for my GS3 and it works very well. Easy on, easy off.
No problems so far with my Xtremeguard screen protector. And dust in the case hasn't been a problem even though I work construction.
I never knew about the "sure grip" feature that the kickstand doubles as! I will be using that for sure.

and I have to say it, for what it's made for, is great! Now, I don't drop my phone a whole heck of a lot, so I wasn't looking for something to protect it against constant drops. What I wanted was something to protect the back/sides against scratches/nicks when it is in my pocket. And this does exactly that. It's super thin, which is noticeable when coming from other cases. The fact that it is opaque means that the design of the phone is pretty much intact. Which is great for this phone, since it is quite good looking to begin with. One added bonus, the case does have a very small lip to it which protects the screen when putting the phone down, face down.
If you are looking for an inexpensive case to do the basics(protect from scratches, minor drops, look good, have all buttons/ports easily accessible), then I would suggest this case.
any pictures of your s3 with it? the ebay pics aren't cutting it for me
does it cover the entire bottom of the phone?

FYI:
opaque: Not able to be seen through; not transparent.
transparent: Allowing light to pass through so that objects behind can be distinctly seen.
this case is semitransparent to get technical.. not opaque.
