I have a custom skin on the back of my phone and am looking for a case that has a completely clear back but perhaps tpu sides or bumper to have some grip. Anyone have ideas? I can't find any

Use a bumper.

I second that, or use the clear genuine Samsung tpu cases

You mean a bumper case like this one?
You can find this galaxy s3 case on TVC Mall.

Even yesterday i did a massive search on ebay for S3 cases. Went over 50 pages with 200 hits each. I can't tell you specifically where but i can tell you there're definitly cases like the ones you want there. Seen plenty of clear ones hard and soft sillicone, maybe there's one you'd like.
Hmm...I was hoping for a clear solid back to protect it as well. Most of them have a frosted back ;___;
i hate to have a thicker device, but the bumper has already protected my device 3 times from getting serously damaged.

Look at Tech21, they have a bumper/clear back that sounds like what you are looking for.
for a quickie five below stores have S3 cases including a tpu case with a rigid mostly transparent back which would "show off" custom backs quite nicely. REALLY good fit and quality for $5 review coming soon.

If your looking for a good quality bumper, I'll sell you my Draco bumper for $40+Shipping or you can offer. I have the Flare Red with the original box and all the original parts. I used it for less than a week. No scratches or dents. In perfect condition.

Didn't know bout that. Switching it to $40+Shipping
I'll pass on the alumnium since I hear aluminum reduces radio strength. Thanks though!

I ordered the body glove diamond case, in white. It's very nice, looks good, doesn't add any bulk really, and feels solid. It's on the Tmobile website under accessories for the phone

Yeah its a good case, I like it.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk
I got one tonight & I love it
If it is like the other Body Glove that has the rubber back it should work out great. I tried case after case and settled on the other Body Glove. I liked it better than the D30. But that's just me..
It's a good looking case.
Does this provide screen protection or i have to purchased screen protector from other sources? I wish to get all protection ready before i getting my galaxy.
Thanks for replying.
this does not come with a screen protector, i wish these $30 tmobile cases came with one. i put in a order for realook screen protector i should be getting it by end of this week.
right.. with tmobiles premium prices
I just wish it wasn't white. That is my only deterrent.

You could probably cover it with some sort of overlay if you wanted to get creative. I have some 3M carbon fiber vinyl that I'm thinking about doing mine with.
The realook screen protector works great with this body glove. No bubbles at all. Took me a couple minutes to fit it on perfectly, since realook cuts it to fit perfectly with the glass
just picked up this case for my wife and her GSII. Great looking case, looks and feels nice. Unfortunately I like it better than my D30 case (mostly because the unlock button is easier to press on the bodyglove)
Ive had it since day one and its kickass!
def. worth it
So I walk into my local verizon wireless store with my G Nexus and asked if I could buy a case, the store clerk went in the back and brought out three cases, he asked another clerk if they can sell them and the guy just looked at the manager in the corner. Manager said no and walked into the back room. He gave me this bit about how they can get in trouble...etc. walked out of the store agitated. I checked my maps and noticed another verizon store about 5 minutes away, so i went their, this time directly to the manager, asked if I could buy a case, he went to the back no problem and brought out the cases. The whole process took about a minute. they had a thin silicon one, and thick rubber/plastic case which i bought, and an otterbox.
Overall this case is more of a temporary one until I find something I really like.
Pros: Very thick, sturdy and it protects all around
Cons: Ugly, dust magnet, ugly, and really distorts the overall feel of the phone because of the thickness
would I recommend it? Only to folks in a similar situation.
Oh, and it also comes with a small stand of some sort.

so the diztronic cases are amazing. they are really great and fit perfect and are cheap ($10) ETC. but i found that they yellow incredibly fast. first it was the sides then my entire phone....
its everyday use. have it in my jean pocket and take it out. thats it! its crazy. it reminds me of the jordan shoes with the clear soles back in the day where the soles yellow naturally bc the material comes in contact with oxygen, causing yellowing.

Next to the case i'm keeping UAG, in fact i'll be ordering the matte black as well. More Pic's of UAG case
Which case do you like better. I've eliminated all cases but these two. The Maxx has the edge though because of the holster.

This case felt good in my hand, the only negative thing I can say about this one, is that the silicone was a little big. If you take a look at the last two pictures, you can see that the phone has room to move. The first pic is w/ the phone pushed all the way up, and the following pic is w/ it pushed down... That's the only defect I saw.
Between the heftiest 3... Ballistic SG Maxx, Otterbox Defender, and Trident Kraken, I would recommend them in that order.
But not the UAG? Interesting...

The UAG is not a dual layer case like the sg maxx,otterbox,kraken. It's still a great case but it's one piece.

It's not a heavy duty case, IMO. It's the one I have chosen.

Is there a gap in between the screen and the lip when you removed the screen cover? Would a self-adheseive film make up the gap? How are the port covers, do they open by them selves like some otterbox cases in the past?
Just bought one of these for £2.99, it arrived in 2 days, and I got to say, it is beautiful. Feels so nice to use on my OPO. The picture really doesn't do it justice. I actually prefer it to the original sandstone touch.

Just ordered one myself, will see how it is. Thanks for the heads up
I have bought from them for all my phones that they do the cases for. It feels almost like silk.

That's it. Yeah feels good.
Does it protect the screen when you place it face down? My TUDIA does but kinda liking the colour options with these

Stumbled upon a review on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q43HYVeiiPo
and on amazon http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MPIC9KO/ref=cm_sw_su_dp
Be careful with the generic back cover cases..
I ordered 2 cases similar to these, a red one and white one. The white one fits poorly so i sent it back. The red one fits nicely but after a week i took my phone out of the case and saw that it left red paint on the back of my sandstone black cover..GRRRR. So be warned about these cheap generic cases. I put tape on the inside of the case to prevent any more paint coming off onto my phone. This is my first 5.5" phone and i fumble it alot but only dropped it twice but these case will not prevent your phone from being chipped, as expected since it's not a full cover. I'm waiting for my new case which is a full shock protection case.
Doesn't look any different then the xtremeguard case that I bought for way cheaper.
$3.99 plus $1.49 carbon fiber back vinyl = $5.48 free shipping
