Body Glove Clear Case Wit Kickstand. Perfect. PICS!!

I got a body glove case from TMO for $25 and it was worth it.
There are two rubberized parts for grip. Its not bulky and it has the perfect kick stand.
Now some will complain that it doesn't cover the top or bottom but this allows it to fit in the leather case logic holster for icrap 3gs (walmart $14)
I'll let the pics do the rest of the talking.

Strange as the website doesn't have it.

Nice. I'll stick with my body glove grip case and chrome to edge. Good find though. Enjoy.

crazy thing i got that same exact case yesterday too. costs $25 bucks, cute saleswoman.... actually went there looking only for a car mount.
the kick stand is nice and works well, it snaps in place, so it doesnt mistakenly fold easily.
my big problem with it, before i got it, my back cover was like new (i think), but i see a few scratches on it now. i dont know if i did something else, or if i did not snap it on well. I also feel its gonna break whenever i take it off. apart from that its quite nice.
also the car mount i got (its a universal, but i think it might have been made for the mytouch slide). it works perfectly. has a little ball joint on it, so you can watch in portrait or landscape or midway inbetween at any angle. also has a little arm to swivel up or down. the perfect mount. costs $30

I picked up the same case today and seem very happy with it so far. Does not add much bulk and the kickstand seems to work well.
Putting on the case was a bit tricky and taking it off almost seems impossible...any recommendations?

Just pull it off from one side, no trick to it. I did have to replace mine yesterday cause the kickstand stopped locking. SMH

I checked it out when I got my phone... but as you said, it doesn't cover the top and bottom. The kickstand is nice... yes, but other than that, I don't see what this case really has to offer.

I went to 3 different T-Mobile stores and none of them have it. My only concern is since it doesn't cover the bottom, won't it get scratched from whatever surface you put it on top?

This case is awesome.

I got the all black one from Amazon for 21.95. And sir you saved my phones life! I was at the county fair today and I was riding a ride called the zipper (Google it!) So like in the middle of the ride my phone slips out and its banging everywhere. Thank God they have like no gaps for it to fall off. So anyways as I'm seeing my phone bounce every where I'm thinking awww duck! And like 2 minutes later( felt like 2 years) I see my phone in 1 piece with the case scratched up from the plastic. And my screen is alive! I almost died that day.

Was you mad when you dropped your evo for the first time?

I'm going 2half weeks without dropping it sofar.
When you dropped your evo was it in bad shape? Wanted to get rid of it? Scars very noticeable? Just wondering before I lots of screen pritectors
Sent from my HTC LX Evo using XDA App

i dropped it once from about 1-2 feet. my heart stopped for a sec, but thankfully there was no damage.
after that i went and bought a trident case for it though, heh.

I dropped my last EVO once and one of the corners got scuffed up and some paint chipped. It totally killed my buzz. Haven't dropped my current one yet, knock on wood.
Now, whenever I go drinking I make sure to put a case on BEFORE I take a sip.

who would be happy about dropping their phone? I was pretty chill when I dropped mine though, dropped it on concrete but it was in a case so it was all good!

I've had my evo for about 3 months now and have dropped it 3 times from a standing position, i am 6 feet so lets say i dropped it from about 4 feet (long legs) each time. Not A SINGLE SCRATCH, MARK, OR DENT!!! I got insurance so it doesn't really matter but i expect the phone to be tough since it did cost me a little bit of money and it is as expected since I do and have for a long time work in the restaurant business.

I got mine on launch day and it still hasn't felt the effects of gravity. I have it in a case for when it does take its inevitable tumble.

Got mine in August and dropped it about 5+ times at various heights with a screen protector. Little scars here or there hardly noticeable.
However I found stupid cracks on power and volume buttons plus and extra on the side. Im pissed about that.
Ill see if sprint might fix or not since I have insurance anyways. But they might just consider it cosmetic like dust under a screen.

dropped mine twice so far once without a case n got a big scuff on the bottom then with the body glove case n it broke the case completly. fingers crossed have a new case and no drops yet lol

Right after I got mine, before I had even decided which case and screen protector to buy, it slipped out of my shirt pocket when I bent down to retrieve my dropped car keys. It ended up sliding a couple feet down a concrete driveway on it's screen. I was bummed but the damage was really minor (a couple small nicks on the sides and a barely noticeable scratch on the screen). It's now wearing a Steinheil AF screen protector and a Sedio Innocase Active.

I was shopping for clothes when I dropped mine. Luckily I was standing on carpet, and it's in the HTC silicone case. No damage at all. Have had it a little over a month and still in mint condition, thankfully.

Casemate barely There Brushed aluminum REVIEW

Yep,
Got this puppy, and god it looks sexy! that brushed aluminum gives a total different look to the phone. This is the color the phone shouldve been in the first place
only downside is the price..at 40bucks..its kinda expensive and its not super protective so ull feel like maybe its too much money for it.
Anyways, here it is!
http://youtu.be/kXkqFgsX5as

That's 30 dollars too much of the Maximum I'd pay for a non-otterbox.

$27 on eBay with free shipping. Not bad, I've been looking at some aluminum back covers for mine since I spend a lot of time in the woods and on rocks.

Got this one yesterday when I picked up my phone at the sprint store.
yeh its very pricy..
but it looks factory..
but I am second guessing myself for buying it. protection seems quite light.

This case has been proven to diminish data/gps signal on some other phones.
Could you do some back-to-back testing on the SIII to see if it has the same problem?
Put the phone on a table with the case on and run a speedtest.net test.
Then remove the case and put the phone back to the *exact same spot* on the table and run the test again.
See if the tests download data faster without the case on.

I agree 100 percent with u

If you guys like this case, I found a similar one on Amazon. Looks pretty much identical. Here's the link. When I got it, it was $10 plus free prime shipping, but now they have it listed with $4.99 shipping. Still looks really good though and it comes with a screen protector. I preordered my Galaxy S3 from Verizon, so I don't know how the fit is yet. But I'll let you know once the phone comes in.

I have this case and it provides a lot more protection than its being given credit for. My wife dropped my phone from about a 3 foot height directly onto concrete. The phone suffered no damage. I have 3 scuff marks on the front of the case and 2 on the back where the phone fell and took the impact (it fell, bounced, flipped, and landed on the opposite side)......again, zero damage to the phone, only to the case.

Hey for what it's worth I bought this case and replaced with a "rock" case. Downsides were that it is too slippery, degraded my signal, and was slightly too bulky to where the power and volume buttons were difficult to press because the lip over the front were too thick.
As for signal degradation I only say this anecdotally. In my basement I get 1-2 bars with the rock case. With the aluminum backed case I would get 0-1 bars and most text messages would fail to send.

While I appreciate the OP's reviews, they really need to invest in some better lighting...

Looks like someone put the body of a 89 Cadillac on a brand new Ferrari.

Friend dropped his phone from his lap while getting out of car and...

this is what happened from a 2 foot drop on to concrete. The car is a bmw 3 series so it's not even that high up...had it on his lap and got out with it still on his lap..fell to the ground
only protection was the flip cover, which obviously didn't help and you can see his cover tucked behind in the picture
dang, these phones are fragile!

Remember this is a GLASS touchscreen. Last time I checked, glass easily breaks ( for the most part)

I used to drop my Epic 4G all the time from at least four to five feet, often directly onto the screen itself and it shook it off every time. No screen cracks, barely a scratch, and no internal damage. That damn phone was bullet proof, brick proof, and thanks to the CM team, future proof. I don't think we'll see another phone like it again.

I agree I use to drop my epic touch sometimes but it never cracked. I had a close call with my S3, had my phone in my lap at the doctors office when I stood up my phone fell straight into my purse. I didn't even hear it. I thanked God.

I've dropped my vibrant many a time. Several times on concrete face down and barely a scratch. I hope your incident is a freak occurrence. It's hard to imagine it cracking so easily with the cover and all.

That sucks for him. At least he had insurance. This is why I got me a otterbox. There is a video where they did a test between the GS3 and the iPhone and the iPhone won as far as dropping it etc. But its a thin phone. So not much protection. Just like above glass is going to break. Glad he had insurance.

Yeah, the great thing about insurance is that you don't need a case/protection which makes the phone bulky and look ugly.
If it's worth 10$/mo is up to you. Personally, I think it is since I end up breaking my phone and getting it replaced at least once every few months. And that was with my old phone which was EXTREMELY durable.

Ya I did this at least 5 times with my old Evo lol I really try to be carefull now. THat phone took a beating, doubt this one will.

The glass on the SIII is thinner than the old epic and even the evo, couple that with the larger overall screen size and it makes for an easily cracked piece of glass. I have tried taking the glass of a couple at work to change from white to blue because I dont like the trim color on the blue and it cracks every time. the screen itself is even glued to the glass.

The gs2 had way more durability.

Insurance...$11/month plus $150 deductible right? It's basically like buying another phone, better than not having insurance and having to pay $600 or whatever the retail without a contract costs. I have a very cool looking Rearth Ringke case on my phone right now (more looks than protection) but have an Otterbox Defender on back order right now for peace of mind.

I actually buy it from bestbuy so I can get their $10/mo geeksquad protection. There's also no deductible.
Personally, I think any case is ugly and ruins the phone. I'm also a sucker for phones being thin (makes it look sexier) and cases make them fat. A lot of people will probably disagree with me, but that's my own personal opinion.
That said, if bestbuy adds a deductible that's more than $100, I'd probably stop using insurance and put a case on it even if it means I have to sacrifice looks.

Does anyone not use a case on their S3?

(First of all, I'd like to say I'm not sure if I've posted this in the right section - I know how people here feel about that. So I'd like to apologise first.)
As the title says, I'm just wondering if there are people out there who don't use a case at all on their phone. Also, if you don't, why don't you. To those that don't use a cover, how has your phone fared in the time since you got it?
I've been using a case on mine since the day I got it. Today I took it off and forgot how nice the phone feels without a case. I'm feeling like I'd like to not use a case for a while to see how the phone fares in day-to-day life.
So, yeah, any comments are welcome, and thanks in advance!

I haven't put a single case on any smartphone i've owned until I got my S3. And I can't remember the last time I've dropped my smartphone on the ground (KNOCK ON WOOD) so that's how careful I am with my phones but I fully respect and appreciate the concept of accidents.
Searching on Youtube for "S3 drop tests" should tell you why. Every single video i've seen has demonstrated how much damage the S3 fares when dropped on the ground. That was enough to convince me to slap a case on it.

I did a weekend with no case recently cause I liked the feel of a naked phone. Then at a family party someone runs into me as I was standing there texting a friend and I drop and scratch the side of my phone. Nothing Broke but the scratch
Made me sad.

I've never dropped any phone I've had before either. That's why I figured I'd give not wearing a case a go.
I actually used a case on every phone I had. Looking back, it was kinda a waste because I never dropped the things.
The gs3 unfortunately feels like it could snap at a fall of a couple centimetres though.

I don't shell out a few hundred and not protect my phone. Reason I always put a case is for resale value. Sold my S3 pretty fast since it was in perfect condition.

I used to be very protective and used an xtremeguard on the front screen and the back cover, along with a belkin tpu case. But I ended up taking all of it off because my OCD always kicked in when I saw dust caught on the edges of the case, and when the sides my xtremeguard lifted up slightly due to the case. The only protection I have now is that I cut out a small piece of my xtremeguard and carefully applied it to the camera lens so that it doesn't get scratched when I place the phone on the table.
I have been running my S3 this way for almost a month now, and it is still flawless. And I am very careful with my electronics so I expect it to be in pristine condition until it's time for an upgrade.

I just stopped using a case on my phone about a week ago. When its not in a case like super protective of it tho

For hands like mine, SIII is just too thin to hold without case

If I remember correctly, only one of my phones ever had a screen cover (HTC Compact IV). Apart from that one, every phone has been how the designer(s) intended the phone to be.
I keep my phone in a PDA belt pouch and occassionally in an empty pocket in my trousers.
I treat the £500 phone with the care of a £500 piece of equipment I cannot afford to replace if damaged.
