I want to buy a new case for my galaxy s3. I think will buy the case from ebay. I am looking for a strong case. I want a case that even if the galaxy will fall on the floor it won't be scratch or any breaks.
I heard about case mate though, speck and more cases but I don't know which is the best. I don't need any special uses.
If it's drop protection you want
My top 3:
Griffin Survivor (my current case)
Trident Kraken.
Otterbox Defender.
I'd stay away from eBay, knock offs are more common there. Just my personal preference.
Just a side note, any case that provides top of the line drop protection will add bulk. But if your like me and prefer a little bulky then your good.

Urban Armor Gear hands down the best case I have owned check it out in the thread in here around the top tons of pics and info there.

Yup IMO, UAG gives the BEST overall protection with the SLIMMEST design.
Thank you very much. I think I will buy the UAG case but where can I buy it in good price? I need a shop that send to Israel.
Before you decide to get the uag at least look at the puregear dualtek, it's a sweet case and the best one I've ever used. There's a thread here with a review of it. I personally think its a better case than the uag.

going to look for a leather holster for my phone, I think. don't like cases much, like holding only the phone in my hand when i'm using it. anyone have a good one?
one option with removable plastic clip (downside is losing the clip); not sure I like the light tan inside:

a bunch of other leather cases on sale here, probably the best prices you'll find; can't be sure of the quality though.
A couple nice ones, I like the vertical one (nice and small) but I need a belt clip for work, wish you could combine the two. both are a little pricey.

I posted this over in a another thread but I bought a Eddie Bauer holster from Best Buy and it fits great. However you cant use a case, hard or gel on it. Reading what you posted you dont use one anyway. Good Luck
Holster
I'm still on the hunt for a leather holster too. My problem is I'm using a Seido Innocase like the one below for everyday wear on a seido belt clip holster, but need a leather holster for tougher environments so I'm hoping to find a case that will accommodate the increased dimensions of the seido case:
I like the Cellet Bergamo mentioned above but not sure if it'll fit.
I also like the selection at fommydotcom (sorry, as a new user i'm not auth to provide links)
Does anyone have insight into any of these holsters? Thanks.
Didn't really see anyone get something like this, so I ordered it and I'll review it once it gets here.

Leather case
I also ordered this armband, so i'll review that too.
Armband
Thanks for the effort here, and the expense put into it. I havent seen the arm band before - I have seen the leather cases, and have wondered how they fit and how well they protect. Looking forward to your reviews.... post up some pics too?
I have purchased 3 or leather holsters from ebay for my Atrix.
Still haven't found anything I liked.
Got the leather case (1st one) depicted today. It is a good case for being under $10, but I was disappointed when I overlooked the fact that it doesn't have a cut out for the power button / fingerprint scanner! I just cut one with an craft knife, but would not recommend the case because of that. Still waiting on the second one. (Should upload pictures soon)
The arm band looks interesting. Will the phone fit in it with case on like the otterbox commuter?

Kinda figured there wouldn't be a cutout for the power button/fingerprint reader based on the pictures of it. Though, i kinda find it funny that i can't seem to click on the different pictures on their page to get a better view. Unless it's just an issue with Chrome.
I'm actually quite a fan of Pure.Gear's leather snap-on case. At first i wasn't sure about it... but after using it... it's quite nice. slippery enough to slide into your pocket... yet enough grip that when holding it, it doesn't feel like it's going to slide out of your hand. fair bit thicker than the other snap-on cases made by Pure.Gear...
This is the Qubits Snap-On case for the GSM Galaxy Nexus.
This does not fit the Verizon LTE version.
It is very similar to the Incipio Feather and the Case-Mate Barely There.
http://www.amazon.com/SAMSUNG-RUBBE...9UWU/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1324590852&sr=8-4
The case fits perfectly and is very snug. The case has a rubberized coating on the inside and outside of the case. There is a small lip on the front of the device for minimal lay-on-the-table design. The side edges are very smooth, but the top and bottom edges are a tiny bit rough. It isn't uncomfortable, and I don't really mind. With this design, the top and bottom are halfway exposed, but comparing with the Feather, it does cover more. The case is fairly thin, but not as thin as the Feather. Basically, this just gives me more grip to hold the phone.
It is only $8.90 with prime shipping, a great value IMO.
BTW I have a skinomi screen protector on at the moment, but will be applying XO Skins very soon.

Figure it was better than creating one in the "want to sell" forums for jusgt one case....Thanks guys...PM if u want this
I got it for only around $5 from Amazon. But after one or two days of usage I found it too slippery. I'm waiting for mesh case they provide more grip IMO
Is there gonna be any mesh cases available?

I am tired of waiting on someone to make a good "armored" case (Otterbox cannot seem to get ahead of the game and have release dates far beyond the release of the devices, including being an iPhone ballsack licker) so I found this on eBay for less than $10 including shipping from NYC.
This thing is a blatant ripoff of the Otterbox Defender. The only difference being the pattern on the back of the case, and the kickstand. It comes in three pieces the same as the Defender. It is only missing the built-in screen protector.
But, lets think about it here for a minute...
Otterbox Defender = $50 USD (approx)
Chinese knockoff = $10 USD (approx)
Same protection, save $40.
It's not the most attractive design, but I am not going for pretty, but purpose with the protection it provides. More so than the skimpy-wimpy gel cases, or leather "pouches" that are available. Sure it takes away from the slim design, but I don't think I have to worry about breaking the device unless it happens to land square on it's glass face.
I have a night blue Otterbox Commuter on order, only because it matches the phone. I am awaiting the Ballistic SG Maxx to be released, and I will be done searching for a case.

I searched, but since the post title you referred to had nothing to with what I was posting about, so it didn't show up. :crying:
oh no biggie. I just thought you might want to have a look. I've decided to get the following as my primary case though...and keep this one you've noted as a backup.

It will depend on the features you are looking for and tradeoffs you are willing to accept. Urban armor is okay paired with a good screen protector and it keeps your overall phone somewhat thin. Otterbox Armor ifs crush proof and waterproof to a degree but at the expense of sound quality (Bluetooth is an alternative) and makes the phone super bulky. Your choice.

I would say most otterbox cases will do the trick.
The Body-Glove Shock suit case works for me... http://www.bodyglovemobile.com/cell-phone-cases/samsung/galaxy-s-iii/shocksuit/

Have a couple of Otterbox Defender cases as well, but they're too bulky.
I've purposely driven my truck, (1997 Chevrolet Blazer LT), over my ZeroLemon case, and my phone still works fine. There's a crack in the screen, but considering 2.5T rolled over it as a a test, it's a fine case.
look at Lifeproof cases? they may be pricy but worth it. http://www.amazon.com/LifeProof-Ser...5479&sr=8-1&keywords=lifeproof+galaxy+s3+case they are out of stock at the main site but they are cheaper on amazon anyways
It's good
So beautiful...!!!
Apart from looks, this case is great. I mean for a construction worker it'll do a great job.
