Let me start this review just by saying that i love bumper cases. I
have been looking over the internet to find the best bumper case for
our Galaxy s3. I came across this case. Its a STRONG silicone bumper
that completes me in every aspect.
First of all. Its cheap. I think that everyone can try a cheap case
and if they dont like it, they throw it to their dog. (hehehe) Guys,
seriously. this is the best bumper case i have seen over the internet.
Why? It has a nice touch when you are holding your
phone. VERY nice touch. You will want to just hold your phone because
it has a nice feel Second of all: PROTECTION. And i mean it. Front,
back and sides are fully protected.
Front side (screen): the case has a slight bump on the edges so if the
phone drops the floor, its still protected (floor not the road hehe).
Back: Again, the case has a bump on the edges. So if your phone drops
on the back, protected!!! if you want to lay down your phone on a
table: PROTECTED.
Sides: Full protection, which is obvious why: its the case hehe.
Buttons: FULLy accessible button, both power and volume buttons. They
are covered by a soft silicone so there are very easy to press
(compare to the other tpu case i have reviewed)
I dont know if there are more colours available. You must check on
sellers ebay site.
Rating: If this case would be rated its a rock solid 5/5. Believe me
on this. It defenently worths every peny guys. I even compare it with
a TPU bumper case, that i have reviewed last week, amd this is by far
better.
Enjoy the pictures. I tried to take as many as possible.
I will review more bumper cases in the near future so stay tuned.

if you find this review helpful, hit thanks
Nice review! Around the volume rocker it might need a little work but I've already ordered one of these.. 4$ shipped to Canada and it looks decent.
Thanks for the review!
You will like the case mate, i guarantee you that. Feedback when you get it so everyone knows from you too
Good review, I have the white one. Easily the best case.

I love the idea of this case, but had a similar one for my Galaxy Nexus which fell apart in a matter of days. Would be interested in reading an updated review of this one in a few weeks.
I have this case on my phone for a while and feels very steady guys. Note that i am snaping batteries daily, so the case comes on and off (by me i mean) and I havent got a problem so far.

Do you guys mean the material of the case degraded? This is all one-piece right? I was JUST shopping for my first bumper case and saw some aluminum ones that snap or screw together, but it seemed like the TPU ones are just a single piece of material and wrap around the edges.
Its a single piece mate. Plus you dont lose any signal plus its a snap in snap out plus its veryyy cheap
How does this fit with a zag shield?
Galaxy S3 Paranoid ROM.
I think that with the zagg shield you will be ok. The case has already a tight fit so its better not to use extra protection underneeth. I dont think you need zagf shield for the back cover because its already protected from the case.

If it is anything like the one for the Galaxy Nexus (and it appears to be the same), there is a hard plastic material used on the rear portions of the bumper, while the piece which surrounds the screen is flexible rubber. With the GN, the two materials separated.
is it easy to take it in and out of your pant pocket

i dont know for sure, but i think that it is going to work because the case is thin on the bottom. :good:
Thanks for the review, I ended up buying the same one but in white. I'm guessing they come from china because this thing isn't going to arrive for like three weeks haha. Oh well whatever.
My clear diztronic tpu case is starting to turn yellow and blue from my jeans so I really need something else. For three bucks I hope it holds up for a little while.
Do you think the the bezel or screen would get damaged if I dropped it from pocket height and it hit the corner on cement? Just wondering if I should still be extra careful when using this bumper.

I much prefer slim hard cases, typically seidio brand. I can't seem to find a good alternate. Quality is much more important to me than price. What do you guys suggest?
I'm on my fourth case and they all suck. One scratches the phone. One turns it off when I'm not looking. One fits too loosely, and one got all dirty the first day.
I'm going to buy this one next in silver. I like the fact that it looks like there's really no case and it got good reviews on the case mate site. I'll let you know how I like it if you want.

I tried this case in silver and sent it back. I found that it degraded my phone signal. Of course, AFTER I buy it I do some searching and find other complaints on the silver cases for various phones.

I haven't noticed any issues with the silver barely there case that I just got. But as far as protection goes, probably not the best one for this thread's request.
I also have a tough case, which I highly recommend for anyone looking for a solid case for protection.
Case-mate tough case is great, as someone allready stated I cannot recommend it strongly enough. You won't find a better case for the money or more imo

What about the body glove case? I was looking at that one for a hard case. What do you guys think about it? Anyone use it?
I have a body glove case and frankly it leaves alot to be desired. The case easily doubles the thickness of the phone, and with out fail turns out my jean pockets every time I use it. I'm not sure if i got a bad case or what but the case does not seal properly all the way around the phone. I have had the misfortune of dropping my case from table height (appx 3ft high) and the body glove case did protect the phone wonderfully. I have the full black and chrome case, not the clear back shell. I am in the process of deciding on a different case and thus far I am heavily leaning towards the case-mate tough case.
Mesh case. Love it... every other case makes a thin phone too large.

Hope that doesn't happen with the one I just ordered. But everything else you say about the case sounds great to me. I don't know how many times I have almost dropped the phone from it slipping out of my hands while pressing the volume or power buttons. Do the black Case-Mate cases have a rubberized feel to them?
My vote is for the bodyglove case. I have been through 4 cases and this far is my favorite. It protects gives the extra bulk and looks slick. It also has a kick stand which I use all the time.

Case Mate tough case for me. Silicone inside prevents scratches and tough plastic outside offers some protection from falls.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Here is a couple pics of the body glove in action. By the way it protects well I have dropped it a couple of times and the case comes apart instead of the phone breaking. I dont know how you wear your phone but I slide the phone in my pocket with the clip sticking out.
Trident Case for Samsung Vibrant
Got the TPU case, good fit, but feels cheap. Got the mesh case, looks decent but not much protection. Got tired of waiting for Otterbox. Almost got the CaseMate Toughcase but they only come in black or pink. Then I came across this last week. Check out the plugs and the buttons, even the back camera has clear cover over it. Liked the attention to details so pre-ordered it. According to the website, they're being shipped this Wednesday 11/17. Since I'm new, I can't post the link, here are some photos of the product. Just google Trident Cyclops Samsung Vibrant. Be sure to "Like" them on Facebook to save the $6.00 shipping. I wish ElementCase would make an ION3 or Liquid Carbon for Vibrant. I'm so sick of iphony and ipotty getting all the good cases.

I got my silver case mate barely there and it is awesome. I guess it is more of a looks than protection thing, but the front of the case is over the bezel so when the phone is face down there's still a gap. The silver is really good looking. Case mate also sent it the day I ordered, and I got it from GA to CA in 3 days.

Are you sure it wasn't just a coincidence? The complaints were about the chrome, not the metallic silver. I haven't seen anything, and my phono widget says the signal is as strong as ever.
I really like this:

- sorry - no outside links allowed on my xda account yet(?). You can figure out what shoud go in the spaces...
It's hard plastic with a rubbery feel. It's smooth enough to slide into my pocket and not pick up lint, but sticky enough that it can sit on my center armrest in the car without worrying about it sliding off.
There's also about a 1/16th inch high border around the screen that does a good job of keeping down any chance of a drop resulting in the screen touching anything the ground.

Figures!!! The upper left corner of the body glove case doesn't want to keep closed. I just sent an email to the seller for a refund. I'm thinking of just getting a extended battery with a rubberized back cover, and a new pouch to fit it.
Yea that's why I have the casemate now, hopefully you didn't order it on ebay there was this one seller that I bought it from and he would not repond to my messages about the case, also my bodyglove case won't stay closed at all anymore. I just think their quality control isn't all that great.
The tough case feels like abs plastic and is textured so it doesn't catch on pocket lining when you pull the phone out your pocket but it still feels good ib your hand and doesn't feel like its going to slout og your hands

Just got this in the mail. It covers all of my buttons (volume rocker, and power) and leaves everything lined up perfectly for the plugs. It fits like a glove, and it has a perfect silicone feel to it. I paid 7.95, and the shipping was very fast. From CA to MI, I got it in 4 days with no extra shipping charges.

I would strongly recommend this case because it helps conserve your hardware buttons.
EDIT: I just realized the sale has ended, and I am sure people sell the same exact case. Just look around Ebay and Amazon.
Great alternative to the TPU cases everyone is talking about.

Yea I got one from ebay as well for..$5.95 I believe. It's not the best case but it fits like a glove and is raised above the screen and camera to prevent you from setting it down straight on them. It adds a little bit of width but truthfully this is just an In-between until the casemate barely there, and it's a cheap way to protect your phone until then!

the description says Anti Dust Silicone Material, do you get any lint/dust on the case? My last silicone case for the Evo4G is a dust magnet, it pretty much picks up all the pocket lint I've in my jeans.

Silicone can stretch, tear and become loose over time.
TPU does none of those and will always return to the original shape.

I honestly haven't had any problems, and I have had it in my pocket almost the entire day. No stretching, loose ends, I can't really verify it is anti-dust, because I have had the phone for a day lol. It feels great.

How would you know? You don't have the case?
I couldn't rip this case, unless I was literally trying to. And the case makes a "lip" over the screen, in case you want to set it on the table screen first. As far as stretching goes, I paid 8 dollars for an awesome case. If I need to replace it (2 years would be my guess), I will do so.
The great thing about Silicone, is that it looks clean and never gets scratches, looks cheap, and fits great on the phones.
Take my word for it or pay 24.99 at the Sprint store lol. The case didn't even cover the entire outside of my phone, and I broke the kickstands on it almost immediately. Complete garbage.

Not a very good case... long term
In my experience, silicone cases are a temporary fix at best. I have bought several and always end up replacing them within a few weeks. But for the price, it's probably not a bad temp case until you find the best one for your needs. I ordered a TPU case for $9 and hope to get it today as I just got my phone from letstalk yesterday.

love mine feels like a rearth. dont think it will stretch feels great in the pocket. doesnt stick like others i have had with other phones. but feels great in the hand im in hot weather so i have sweaty hands from time to time. so the tpu get kinds slippery. this gel i like a lot. recommend def till you find what you like a hard case. or like me a case with a kickstand. and i found it for like 5 dollars on ebay or amazon.
remember now its from the accessory geeks on ebay.
Hi guys,
Just wondering if any of you using a Rock Quicksand case with your S3 have found a leather pouch that the duo will fit in?
I was thinking of buying the official case and hoping it will stretch, but any advice would be much appreciated.

Simply because the reviewer said it was loose, it is. Probably enough to get the phone+Rock on with a bit of work. Accepts mine no problem with a flip cover, which has a wider case back and the front flap. Not bad quality either.
Thanks for the reply! In the end, I took a chance and ordered the genuine Samsung Galaxy Note pouch which fits the combo perfectly.
Absolutely delighted.

You guys mind taking some shots of the S3 in note's pouch? I wanna see how snugly it fits into the pouch, and how easy it will be to take out.
I'm using the rock quicksand as well and I have been looking for comfort fit neoprene pouch, nothing skin tight.
Thanks!
Here you go!
The phone fits firmly in the note case but is also extremely easy to remove - if you squeeze the edges of the pouch together, the phone slips out freely.
Couldn't ask for more!

Nice! but it looks like it's made of leather (or faux leather). what's the inside like? same material? suede? I'm just paranoid of how it may scratch my screen. hence I've been looking for neoprene materials all these while. my nillkin protector is dry application hence doesn't cover everything. you reckon it'll be safe from scratches?
Looks like they don't have it locally though. Gonna need to order online....

The inside is a suede type material so shouldn't scratch the phone.

Youre worried about the 2 millimeter space around the screen protector that is of no actual use anyway? (which is also made of gorilla glass 2 and I have to assume it can withstand some soft suede)

I think I'm going to get the Krussell Luna 4XL pouch. I already have a KaysCase and I think the 3XL pouch would fit my phone only but with the case on it I think the 4XL would be a better fit.

Hi,
any experience with the Luna 4XL yet? Got a Quicksand merely out of curiosity and I am so much impressed of the haptics it adds, don't want to return it. Still, more important to me is a pouch that protects the phone, especially the screen when it's in my pocket, laptop case, backpack, etc.
I hab pretty good experiences, case-wise with the Noreve on my HD2, but the S3 with the Quicksand so far did not fit into any of the pouches I tried. Placed an order for the Krusell, even though the Quicksand is thicker than the specs for the Luna are (10.8 vs 10 mm). We'll see how it fits...

Looking for the best case to show off the Moto X, so I'm trying to find the thinnest clear (not frost!) case out there. Not worried about drops, just want basic scratch and scuff protection.
For reference, I have the Diztronic TPU clear case and the Minisuit clear case, but am looking for something more minimalist that will LEAST change the look of a naked X. Has anyone seen such a case?
I have the clear power support air jacket case. It's kinda expensive but it's thin & it has some sort of self healing coating that heals scratches. The only downside is that it makes your phone slippery.
I bought the Griffin Reveal Case. It has the clear back and is pretty thin. It's hard plastic with a softer rubber around the edge. The back scratches fairly easy, but I do not see them unless I take the case off and look for them. I had read this in reviews, but I'll live with it for the $12.50 I paid from their ebay store (price is higher now on ebay, though cheaper than amazon with shipping).
Ebay link
or
Amazon
I originally had a clear diztronic tpu case, which added a lot of bulk IMO. The Reveal case keeps more of the original feel of the phone.

do the scratches actually "heal"? I'm getting this case tomorrow, I'm undecided if I want to keep it or get another one...
I haven't scratched it on purpose to see but I've used it for a couple of weeks now and there are no visible scratches.

Same here. Been using it 2-3 weeks and there are zero scratches.
I have found, like others have said, that it is very hard to get off. It's a breeze to get on though.
Are there any truly transparent TPU cases? The Diztronic is frosted
Rocketfish TPU Case from BestBuy
What you need is the Rocketfish TPU case from BestBuy. It's what I've been using from day 1 of owning my Moto X, and it's pretty fantastic. 100% clear all round, and great to the touch. Covers the buttons as well, and has a good lip around the edges so you can put it face down. Go for it, you won't be disappointed. I'm surprised this case doesn't get as much publicity around here as it should.
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/soft-sh...&skuId=1645012&st=rocketfish moto x&cp=1&lp=1
I've been using the AirJacket for a while and really like it. As others have said, no visible scratches, good protection, and it doesn't feel particularly slippery to me. Also doesn't add much bulk. I don't like what it does to the feel of the buttons. Where before they were good and "clicky", now it's mushy, hard to press, and doesn't always respond. I've taken to pressing on them horizontally with my thumbnail instead. Could be I've had bad luck with mine, but I have been tempted to try modifying the buttons (scraping away some rubber to thin them out).
Hey guys!
Now I'm waiting for my walnut Moto X and trying to choose between Rocketfish TPU case and Air Jacket by Powersupport. Price doesn't matter on me. Understood from forums that air jacket has some self-healing coatin and dunno abt same issue in Rocketfish case.
What you guys think about it? What case might be your choise?
Thanks beforehand.
I think the two tone air jacket is not very appealing but it's all personal taste. If the rocket fish is like the diztronic but clear I'd go with that

Thank you. The buttons are hard to press as well. I will return it tomorrow. I will probably go naked.

You know I thought it was my eyes--mine seems to be looking a bit yellow too! Nice to see someone else has the problem and I am not seeing things. Dang it, I like this case too... Maybe I will try to soak it in something...like oxyclean or I don't know... something! If I am able to remove my yellowness I'll report back!
Please do
The rocket fish case looks great, the buttons are a bit stiff and it is relatively expensive from best buy. Still, it's the best truly clear case I've found.

Good luck, but don't be hopeful. I've had clear TPU yellow before. I think it's a chemical reaction from either light exposure or skin oils. I tried everything and it doesn't 'clean' up at all.
Finally a case with a kickstand.

Amen! Mine should arrive next week!
That is one ugly case and does not look comfortable to hold at all.
I had one for the note 3. It really wasn't that bad.

If only they didn't have a stand, I would totally get it. I want a fully rugged case that doesn't feel tacky and about to fall apart like the TUDIA Dual.
Fugly case, it's a shame spigen refused to step up and produce a case.

Seriously.. I'm mad at them.
Or their ultra crystal screen protector. I love those.

Ugly or not I'm looking for more protection and I have one of these on the way. I'll take some good pics for you guys when it comes. I got the red version.
Update: case came this morning. It's not as ugly as I thought, but it is a tad thick where the kickstand is. Good protection.. Better than my Ringke fusion and Tudia. I'm at work right now but will get some pics taken and posted later.
I agree. Who cares what it looks like: function > form. Let me know how it works out I may purchase one also.
Thanks
Ok here's the pics. I'm not happy with them but hopefully they will be good enough for you guys. I took them at work in a real hurry before my boss could appear and say "wtf are you doing?"
A few quick notes about the case:
-Good protection, higher edges around screen than my other cases.
-Power button feels pretty good but volume buttons are stiff and a bit mushy.
-Holes for the phone ports are of ample size.
-Case feels ok in my pocket but the thickness of the kickstand area IS noticeable even though I always have the screen side against my thigh.
-The kickstand is actually my first on any phone or tablet. It "locks" in the closed position with a snap. When trying to pull it out, it feels like it will break before it "snaps free" and folds out. Maybe it will, maybe it wont... I didn't buy the case for the kickstand anyway so I'm not worried about it.

Can you take a pic of the phone out of the case next to the case from the side, id like to see how thick it is compared to the phone.
Just ordered the white version, will come on standard shipping for around 7 days, no biggie while I wait for my TUDIA to arrive.

I had one of these on the RAZR i.
Not bad cases, can pop the rubber bit off and use just the hard shell.
Best hard cover Frosted Matte
Sended from china, 4 weeks wait, but very very good material !!

I don‘t think that manufacturers like spigen or otterbox will ever make cases for the opo they support devices that have more buyers like samsung or apple, anyway the most protective cases for opo are jkase diablo,diztronic ultra and tudia slimfit which do you prefer?
Awesome review.

that has got to be the best backhanded compliment i have ever heard. "wasn't that bad" I mean that is awesome. It's like saying, "well, the amputation went pretty well. He won't miss the limb at all."
I say this NOT sarcastically at all. I almost spit out what I was drinking because I was laughing so hard when I read this.
