Case-Mate has released a T989 Barely There Case

Just FYI
**UPDATE**
I know not many of you are into the minimal protection/"Flare" cases, so there's another way you can contribute to Case-mate extending the T989 case lineup. Goto Case-mate's Facebook page and click on the Feedback link on the left column. Search for T989 Cases and vote for it. Obviously, you can see where I'm getting at. If we can get enough votes, it would convince Case-mate to extend the lineup.

If you use the promo code "fblike20". You can get it for $20 shipped.

So I go to the case-mate website, I see casemate selling a cool ass Marvel comics cases for Iphone 4/4s and I search for the t-mo case and I see this crap case! I want a god damn Iron Man Case.

too bad it only comes in the boring black color, otherwise i'd try one.

On the site it does say it comes in metallic silver but its not listed yet. I will be picking that one up when it is released.

looks no different from the incipio feather cases except incipio offers more colors

People were reporting fitting problems with the Incipio case though.

Looks very similar to the diztronic amazon case....

Thanks for the heads up, been wanting another case to keep in my rotation... a pity only black atm

Im very happy with my Incipio case and the fitting is perfect .. But i'll try this one aswell too see the difference.

Dang, how come the T989 has the least cases
Welp, thanks, but I dislike snap on cases. They don't look that great to be honest.

Yeah, I was hoping for a POP! case but it's obvious Case-mate doesn't see much promise in the T989 and wanted to test the waters. Hopefully spreading the word would result in enough purchases for them to release more colors or more cases x(>.<)x

Are you kidding? How does a slim form fitting case look worse than those thick wrap around cases?

It just looks weird to be honest, dislike the open parts like the top and bottom.
Doesn't really provide protection from drops...
I LOVE the D30 case. It doesn't really add any bulk, I think it makes it more comfortable in my hands and it definitely provides the added protection.
It's either no protection and a naked phone or if I was going to use a case I'd use something that actually provided protection.
Just my .02 cents. We all have different opinions, no hate.

SGP Argos

I already had a comparison poll about cases for galaxy s3. Otterbox defender, Casemate glam and SGP Folio, and i've decided to get SGP folio and try to place an order now. But, I just found another case from sgp website. I bet this case was released for other devices. Has anyone tried this case for your old device? If it's better than folio (http://www.spigen.com/samsung-galaxy-s3-leather-case-folio-series.html), I would get this one because it's made of suede material.

I had Argos for my iPhone 4 and SGS2, I generally liked them quite a bit, but at times, the flap clamp tend to get a little loose, so you have to sort of bend it down a little to get more friction between it and the phone.

does anyone have more pictures of the SGP Argos?
I really like the looks of it in the official picture, but i found this review for the galaxy s2 version where you can see a massive bulk at the bottom. does the s3 version have this too?
(damn, why is it so hard to find a really good looking protection for my new baby )

Acase Superleggera Pro case review

So like many others who have been waiting for their GS3 to be delivered to their front door steps here in the USA, I've been buying cases so I'd be ready to go from the start. My plan is buy a variety of cheap cases and bumpers to see how they feel in my wee bitty hands. So here is my review of a case worth reviewing. I haven't seen anyone mention this case so I apologize if I'm duplicating something that's already been said.
I picked up this case on Amazon for a little over $12 after shipping costs. It appeared to be marked down from $30 without shipping so I figured It was a steal. So far, I was right. It's size is very slim for a duel layer case. While it does make the phone bigger, it's not too big for my girl hands. It actually makes the phone feel a little better and comfortable in the hand.
The texture of both layers have a nice grip and feel. The matte black hard shell has a soft feel that blends well with the feel of the silicone core.
So far the hardshell has been smudge resistant and I have a good feeling scratch resistant but only time and use will tell on that part. The silicone core appear to be lint resistant, if that's even possible, compared to my Seidio Active case on my Rezound (great case by the way) that collected light to moderate pocket lint.
The case also provides a nice lip around the screen to protect it. The best part of the lip is that it doesn't get in the way of using the phone. It occupies just the right amount of real estate.
Buttons work like the real buttons. No issues with them working properly or having to apply extra pressure.
Summary: I love this case. It's solid, feels great, and was purchased at a great price.

It's actually a $40 case that I got for $12 (price went up already on the black to $12 + s/h) .......I can handle the tiny logo, and if not, I'll get out a black marker.
They have some other colors that are cheaper than the black now. Thinking about picking up a blue one.

Anyone else using this case?
I want to know other users opinion about this case compared to the following cases:
1. Otterbox commuter
2. Incipio Silicrylic
3. Casemate Tough case

Ha! The thread lives! I can't believe more people aren't using this case or at least interested in the case. It's great and almost tripled in price since I first got it. Still cheap enough to equal a valuable purchase.
Currently not being productive on my S3.

I checked this on Amazon. All the ratings are either 4 star or 5 star. And there are 44 of them.
Does this means it is the best case for S3 or are they asking the buyers to give good ratings(I have heard some companies do so) ?

Few questions?
How is the back of the hard shell? is it very smooth so that it may slip away from your hand or table?
Also do you know whether it is of the same size and weight of Case mate Tough case?

I had one for my 3d, very nice case. The only reason I got rid of it was the need for a belt holster, but other than that it protected the phone very well and the rubber material did not stretch out or get flimsy.

It's smooth but I wouldn't say slippery. I've been very comfortable holding it without fear of dropping it.
I'm not familiar with the Casemate Tough but I do like it better than my Casemate Pop. The Pop! Case is very slick other than the grips on the side and it feels wider then the Acase.

Do you use a screen protector with your case? A lot of screen protectors that go all the way to the edge of the screen are having problems with a lot of cases. I am using a Zagg HD, and I wanted to know if this case would cause it to bubble up.

Just wanted to add my two cents. Got the case very fast from Amazon. Was worried it wouldn't come but then it was delivered even before my shipping confirmation.
Anyways on to the case. Very good feel too it, not as bulky as i was expecting but still feels secure. Been using it regularly since i got it. Fits well in the pocket and doesn't attract too much lint so far. For the price, highly recommend it

Hey I have the case and yeah you would have to use a screen protector that doesnt go to the edges I had a regular screen protector and the bottom would bubble up because of the case.

I bought this case when it was $6.05 on Amazon and I would pay the current price for it because it is worth it. This is a really good case. I just wish they had made it a holster case.

got my black one this morning and I have to say that it feels great in the hand and fits perfectly.
I previously had the trident aegis and Neo hybrid but hated both of them. this is so much better and half the price. I have the seidio active too which is great to watch things using the kickstand but as an everyday case this blitzes it!
thanks for answering my questions about this in another thread.

I would just say if you want slim basic protection you cant go wrong with a TPU case ,.

If you're really careful with the device, I'd say a regular tpu case will do. But if you have butter fingers I'd recommend body glove shock suit. I have it and it's great and slim

Agree with everyone else about TPU cases, they're the best blend of protection and bulk. I've had 5 different TPU cases for the S3: Mercury, Diztronic (matte black), Boxwave, (all about $10), iGadgitz ($3), and ZooGue ($5 on sale). The ZooGue is the best I've used: http://www.zoogue.com/galaxy-s3-cases/. The Diztronic was too slippery, Mercury was a bit too low-profile with not enough screen protection for me (you may like that one if you want to keep the phone slim though). The iGadgitz was pretty good but just didn't look very good. Boxwave should not be considered.

Looks pretty cool, almost military grade. Seems bulky however

Not really. There is a post around here with comparison photos with and without the case.
It's the slimmest case I've found offering that amount of protection.

I might be checking this ZooGue thing out. Thanks!

I had a zoo gue for the longest time and was really happy with it. Honestly its the BEST Tpu case. Quality, protection and great price. The Diztronics had nothing compared to the zoogue. I had the all.

I use Urban Armor gear for S3, and i'm happy with it, I got a feeling the phone cant be damaged at all, and the power/volume buttons work great with it (very important for me). I highly recommend it.

I'll second and third the ZooGue. Perfect combination of grippiness yet slippery enough to slide in and out of a pants pocket easily.

Me too. Have been using it for 6 months with the extended battery. Still look and feel very good. Love the case.

Living in Florida, I go to beaches and love fishing, so I wanted a case that could survive water,sand and accidental drops. Ended up getting the lifeproof case even though it is pricey...about $80. However, I love that it is a a pretty small case compared to other life proofs like otterbox

I have 2 brand new Otterbox Defender series warranty replacements for sale, a Grey on white and Black on black with clip holsters for sale. Looking to sell both for cheap in a bundle. Shoot me a PM if your interested.

I wish more companies would release 2 models. One with a kickstand and not. So convenient when you need it and not in the way if you don't.

i totally agree with you! The neo hybrid was one of my original choices as my daily case but the mid frame plastic seems too flimsy to me. How do the buttons feel on your slim armor, click-y, or flat like some TPU cases?

This is a heavy duty 3 layer case that fits on the zerolemon extended batteries. I just ordered one myself.
Edit: I know the link is for the Note 2, but they do make them for the s3. Its just an example
