SPIGEN SGP modello review - Galaxy S III Accessories

Hey guys,
TPU cases are simply awesome. The fact that they are thin and resistant is what got me into loving them
SGP made the modello and they put it at a decent price range
here is the review

How does it compare to diztronic? Is it thicker or thinner?

Also adding it doesn't lip over the screen as much as diztronic. (I have both, using modello because diztronic was peeling my old screen protector)

Glad you got a good one. Most of them do not fit properly. Spigen is a terrible company.

I love SGP and have purchased 3 of these cases(all at once) for 3 gs3's And all have same fit which seems slightly loose. All were different colors so I would assume built/formed at different times. I've always used SGP cases but these disappointed me a bit. The cruzerlite cases I have seem to fit much more snug.

**pics included** Black Cruzer Case on Amazon fits GSM perfect

I got the black glossy Cruzer case from Amazon and it fits snug and tight...better than my Incipio case I purchased from the Verizon store. The case is nice and durable. The power button and 3 prongs are open and the volume keys are closed with a nice rough texture. The volume keys are very easy to use since they are sealed. I recommend this case to GSM Galaxy Nexus owners and the price is not bad at all.
I gave it a 5 star review on Amazon.
Here is a link...
Check out the other designs Cruzer has... Android print case looks pretty cool too.

How is the fit and finish, for lack of a better term, of the case? How tightly does it fit around the face and how are the areas around the mold seam?
I'm currently using this Qubits case and while it is quite good, it is not perfect.

The fit and finish is great. It is not loose around the face or around the seams. Im telling you, this fits nice and tight all around the phone.
Sorry guys.... I'll get pics later today...give me about 2 hours.

I have this case and while it fits perfectly it takes away from the look of the phone. Also makes it bulky and just not the same. I have a smoked one if someone wants it. Will sell it for $5.

As the name suggests, the Ultra Thin, is "ultra thin." If you want something slim, you should go with it or get the Neo Hybrid instead if you want more protection.
Well, SGP did mention they are either going to make it with TPU or semi-TPU, hopefully that's the case instead of silicone
I've had the Neo Hybrid for the SG2 but never had the sagging issue. I hope that's not the case cause I really like the feel of them. Will definitely get it when it is available.
the sagging issue is due to taking the phone out of the casing too frequently? as least that was what happened for me
the sagging issue should NOT be present in the S3 version according to SGP (in the YouTube video)... The representative or whatever commenting saying new material is being used that is stronger and will not sagg

Work Case

Hi
Im working within Construction and my brand new s3 is screaming for protection.
I have been lookin around for some "Work" cases. I have found otterbox defender, but its just pre order and i need a good case right now.
Is there something like otterbox defender for about the same price or lower that is better?
Are There any BIG pouches like krussel has that fits the s3 AND a normal case (NOT work case) ?
Regards
Hooterz
You can purchase the Defender from Amazon, now. The commuter is also a good option.
Maybe this too:

If you're from the US do check out www.pure-gear.com too. Some of their cases look like they can survive through a Nuclear Apocalypse.

Check out the Trident Kraken. That thing looks serious. I'm a firefighter and it's even a little to much for me. I'm very careful with my phones and I can't stand adding bulk to such a nice looking phone.

The ballistic sg maxx is a nice case and the plastic screen cover fits much tighter to the screen than the otterbox. Still it will let dust in though and it makes the screen look like crap. I took mine off snd have an hd screen protector on it.
Also ordered a pure gear 260 case so well see how that one is.

I'm in the UK myself but would be interested in the Pure Gear cases. I sent them an e-mail to see if they have any resellers or distributors in the UK or anywhere else in Europe but as yet no reply.
check ebay for pure gear there is one of the 360s on there now, i think i am gonna pick one up
And it's only 30 on eBay too and ships outside us

The price is too good to be true for this case so it's most likely fake like the others on ebay. Just a heads up because there are many people who thought they were going to get a real one.

Yup. Plus they dont even make those anymore, they got discontinued awhile back. Just the fakes are available now. Maybe few real one but doubt those are it cause of the price. Nonetheless the fake one I had was so close to real. Almost perfect.

Diztronic is a great value case but it is TPU (which I actually prefer). Otherwise, the ACase seems nice as well. Of course, UAG is on amazon as well, but I personally think they are ugly. :shrugs:

Imo buy dark colors cause eventually lighter colors will stain overtime. My wife has a hot pink ballistic LS series and it started turning purple with jean stain lol. Its easy to clean off tho, so I guess no biggie. But I can only imagine a white case with stains

Aluminum Bumper

Most cases are made of some weird rubber, either they feel cheap or they get stuck in the jeanspocket.
Some cases look great but they always tend to build so much bulk..
Has anyone tried an alu bumper like this one? Looks great atleast..

With battery cases like this. You will lose a bar or two on cell phone reception as well as wireless. This was the case for the Galaxy S4. I believe you will lose the function of NFC as well.

How protective are aluminum cases though? I feel like TPU/plastic combos would probably protect the best since it absorbs shock better than metal.

Thought they had a $5 off coupon....
Why does that one bottom corner stick out like that? I'm guessing that's how the case clamps together. Seems like it wouldn't feel very nice.
Yeah not bad, but I'm not a fan of Florida sticking out of the corner there. Always making a mess of things!
Also with it being an Aluminum bumper, I'm pretty sure it's aesthetics only. That's a relatively soft metal, especially with how thin is looks. Any real bump and it will probably dent/scratch easily. It's like using a thicker version of the HTC One as a protective case.

I am holding off as well. Even with the screws, not sure if it'd fit in my Seidio holster without scuffing the crap out of it. However whenever I visit this thread and look online at the pics, it seems unbalanced to me because of the screws.
Waiting for feedback on the aluminum bumper. I'm interested to find out if the bumper keep the back of the phone off of surfaces. It looks like it wouldn't protect the back of the phone at all.
