Any spot a transparent case for our phones?

I want to get a case for this phone but I'm not feeling the black and blue look that seems to be the option I've seen. Since I doubt we'll see a case that can match the color blue I was wondering if anyone has spotted a transparent one.

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

I just ordered this bundle: http://www.amazon.com/Fosmon-Bundle...391486&sr=8-20&keywords=galaxy+s3+accessories

Case mate pop case and visor ag screen protector

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

The case was 35 screen protector 20. To me it was worth it. Ill never get a different screen guard again. The keys still work 100 percent

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.

Lol thats a good way to make the phone look white if you got blue and didnt want it.....i just sold a blue one that i got my gf on craigslist...man i had my white one and the blue one side by side the othrr night couldnt decide which one i wanted to keep
Sent from my SPH-L710 using XDA

I like the blue a whole lot...but I like the phone even better; they only had white. I am loving the case more and more; it is really grippy. When held up to the ear it feels fantastic in your hand (that's what she said)? Just a great case.

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.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2

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.

I wonder if this case works well with the iVisor iGlaze for GALAXY SIII

It will work but. I'm going to get the glas t sp that just came out and retire the ivisor I'm over the anti glare.

[Review] SGP Gariz leather flip case

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*

I would say skip on the body glove adds a good amount of thickness... If anything check out the d3o sold at tmobile stores, it's rubbery but dust or lint won't stick to it cause I keep it in my pocket and it adds little bulk, still slim, múltiple colors to chose from goes for 24.99... Loving it only thing a pain to remove so make sure you won't be removing it a lot also the thick of some chargers have to be forced in but nothing crazy....

i have to disagree with the d3o case. IMO,they are absolute junk. i actually ended up buying the white body glove after a few months of use. i was tired of having to push hard on the power button just to get a response. Using the D3O case overtime, i noticed the power button recessed in and was super sensitive to the touch. The white Body Glove has little-to-none button resistance.
Plus my over-the-ear-headphones would never fit in the headphone jack. yes you can use something with a skinnier 3.5mm jack,but i'm not willing ditch nice cans.

No, but I know what you mean. The back is made out of 2 types of materials. One on side of the S, there is plastic like you would put on a couch as a covering. On the other side of the S, there is a really soft and smooth rubber. Nothing sticks to it. Check out this thread for more info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1885042
In the thread there are also some videos on the case.

Cruzerlite Androidified Cases

Hey my favorite case from cruzerlite is available for the Optimus G! I have one in the smoke color on the way. If you have never used one of their cases before then you are missing out. They are made of TPU with a cool design and the cutouts are perfectly cut. I've owned a bunch of their cases for my GNex, S3, One S, and Nexus 7. Now im adding the Optimus G to my collection.
Check them out here http://www.cruzerlite.com/cases/lg/optimus-g/cruzerlite-androidified-a2-case-for-lg-optimus-g-sprint
I will post a review of the case as soon as I get it. Also don't mind the At&t logo on the pictures. This is indeed for the Sprint version!

Ya i saw that earlier today. I really want the CM or xda case!

I'd love to see real life pictures! Curious about which buttons have cutouts (the diztronic I have covers the volume, but not power) and how it looks on the front of the phone. Might be trading it for one of these - I really want a blue or green case and I love the Android design on the back

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.
