Hello,
I have buy a new S3 LTE and i won´t buy a good black gel cover.
In Portugal i don´t have a big offer off this kind of accessories.
Some people tell me the following brands are good:
Urban Armor Case
Otterbox
Incipio
Seido
Case Mate
Skinomi
SGP
I saw in the youtube the video off the Otterbox Defender and it´s look nice, but the screen protector appears to make some reflex and lose a litle o f touch with the screen... I´m Wrong? It´s possible do not use the original screen protector of the defender and use a simple screen protector?
I see the video of Urban Armor Case and look very nice, but a don´t find any company that shipped to Portugal.
Some one have some suggestions?
thanks,
Ballistic SG Maxx
I have the Ballistic SG Maxx, its had great drop protection, but almost no protection against water damage, That being said, its a nice case, you may want to check it out also.

Hello,
Suggestions please!
Uag my friend. You should see the high my phone felt today... Nothing happened to it. Wanna be protected? Uag is the case for you without adding to much bulkness...

you can remove the screen protector on the otter box and use almost any you would like (thicker screen protectors might not fit) but my zagg fits just fine so you shouldn't have any trouble

Does the Otterbox Commuter series for the atrix have a screen protector like the defender? or should i get some stickers for that?
Yes it comes with one..
The Commuter does come with a screen protector. But if by "like the defender" you mean it is built into the case (adding increased protection from dust), then no. Its a separate screen protector, and I dont use the.
I bought a SkinTech before the InvisibleSHIELD was out, I recommend either.
yes, only the part of the screen is protected, the front camera and the buttons are not protected

Are the SkinTech and InvisibleSHIELD protectors something that I apply to the phone...AND THEN slip my phone case over? I've read that the InvisibleSHIELDs by Zagg don't fit very well on the Atrix, nor are they "invisible".

Correct, apply the screen protector before the commuter. Hours, maybe a day before. No need for "full body screen protector" zagg, front is good enough since the rest of the phone the Commuter will cover. You wont have any problems putting the Commuter over the Zagg on the Atrix. (the iPad is a dif story).
Im guessing what you read "doesnt fit well" is the full body protection zagg. The OB will even cover all the edges of the screen protector making it look seamless. Not only does the screen protector add, um, protection. But it IS invisible and also resists glare. Sorry for spelling.

U may wanna check on that again son cause I just got both a new Atrix n a commuter box and the screen protector does covers the buttons at the bottom,
Otterbox Commuter
I have been browsing around for a case for my new Atrix but most of the cases I have found don't seem like they do much in the way of actual protection if they are dropped. The Otterbox however does seem like it could protect from damage quite well, however I'm a little concerned with the size. If anyone could please let know how much weight and size is added to the phone that would be excellent. Or if you think there is a better case that can protect my phone, could you please link it for me?
Thanks in advance
I just purchased the Otterbox Commuter case and I have to say its probably your best bet if you want a good amount of protection as well as not too much bulk added to your phone. It's the perfect balance between the two imo.
You should just go to the store and try it out. Every store I went to they opened the box for me and let me test it out lol.
I'd have to agree, as far as protection goes, Otterbox can't be beat.
But which store did you go to that they had them in stock? I can only find them online and I've always wanted to try the commuter out. I use the Defender but it can be a little too much sometimes.

I've seen them at At&t&T stores, Best Buy, and Sam's Club.
Let me say that the Commuter is the best case i have ever owned. It makes the phone feel absolutely amazing in the hand and offers great protection without the bulk. I had the incipio feather before this and it just wasn't enough so i made the switch and couldn't be happier
Agreed! I've used the Defender, Impact, and Commuter cases for the Atrix, and I like the Commuter case the best.
The Defender case offers a lot of protection but is too big for my use.
The Impact is a silicon case that fits well but didn't really grip tight onto the device (so it tends to peal off more easily than most cases).
The Commuter case, on the other hand, is very slim compared to the other two cases. The combination of the silicone and hard plastic shell makes it comfortable to hold too.

Okay, it sounds like it's a really good case! I'll have to call my BB stores and see if they have any in stock to let me try on before I go and buy one. The ATT store only had Defender Cases, which looked pretty bulky and were $50 there.
Thanks for the responses
If you live in Canada then you can check out WirelessWave, PhoneBooth, even the Bell stores. All three allowed me to try out each variant (Impact, Commuter, Defender).
I first bought a seidio active combo case ( comes with case plus holster ) but then i was able to get the commuter for $19.95. It is a great case and another plus is that it fits into the holster from siedio with no issues.
can anyone confirm if the commuter case will work with the HD dock without the plate on the dock?
Not from I read....I had the Defender for a week and ended up getting the Seidio Surfacehttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004TA9AG2/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_1?pf_rd_p=486539851&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B004TA9AGC&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=1NY2FH8N4JQ374T8WGT8 with the holster. I also put the anti-glare screen protector on mainly because it resists fingerprints.
I am currently using the commuter case on my Atrix. The screen protector covers the bottom buttons but stops at the motorola words up top. The case itself fits perfectly(been 4 months and no noticeable difference). It is tight and snug and easy to put on. The screen protector is very nice and retains small amounts of finger prints.

Commuter case will not work with any dock because of the flaps. Cut the flaps off and maybe it'll work with the plate off
HI, i recently purchased otterbox defender case and i already have incipio feather and silicrylic case and im still waiting for my rearth slim case and case-mate tough case. what can i say i have case addiction lol i say some review after i purchased defender case and people were saying its a lint magnet. so im wondering if i receive it on 1st of feb should i sell it or keep it? cause im also gonna be buying diztronic case dont know which 1 though. and also the S line case from amazon black color. please share your comments
I have the Diztronic TPU - Matte Black and it is awesome. Make sure you get the version 3 case (the one with the cutout for the volume rocker). Their support and customer service is awesome too. I have it paired with an XO Skin screen protector. It's enough protection for me.
Let us know how the cases are specially the slim case.
I have the Diz 3 and the Otterbox Defender. Both are excellent. I bought the Otterbox for protection when working. When my phone is in it, I feel like its safe. And the thing really isnt that bulky. The added protection outweighs the limited added bulk. Definitely take the Otterbox Screen protector off and use your own. I just popped the thing off but would recommend using a hair dryer to heat up the adhesive first. The only negative is the price. Should have been $39.99 rather than $49.99.
I love the Diz. If I had a holster for it I think I would use it more. The Otterbox stays on just about all the time.
If I had buy one case and use that one forever, there is no doubt in my mind that I would buy the Defender.
Really? I took apart a defender at the Verizon store and its really hard and rough at the connection points inside. I'd be worried about the case scratching the phone up. My old surface case for the nexus s did that. They do make can awesome clip though. For my money, for ultimate protection (other than water) I would hold out for the ballistic sg case that's in the works. I have it for the nexus s and its the best case I've ever used... if you don't mind added bulk.

Ive seen several people mention the possibility of the Otterbox scratching the phone. I'm rough on mine and cant find any scratch, blemmish, etc.
You can always just give it to me. Got any of those cruzer lite cases that are sold out? I do. We could trade.

Hello all,
I've had my S3 for over a month now and have been using it bare since day 1. I just can't find a thin and good looking case anywhere. So I'm here to ask you guys what cases are out there that you might suggest?
I'm looking for something, think/sleek, masculine colours , "lay on the table", under $25. Please no bulky cases like OtterBox or anything in that fashion. Those look nasty. LOL
Also looking for a good screen protector. I don't want to purchase the cheap ones at the mall for $1 a piece.
Thanks!
Happy New Year,
Brandon

Get the SGP curved crystal if you want to cover the entire screen. I have it applied right now and I can't even tell it's there.

Get the SGP curved crystal like the above says along with the SGP Modello case in black or gray. You may still be able to find them on ebay. It is a very slim tpu case. Good luck!
Thanks for the replies, guys! Seems like SGP is the way to go for screen protectors.
Anyone know why they like to discontinue their products after a few months on the market? I love the look of the Neo Hybrid, but the only way I can get them now is on Craigslist or eBay.
Take a look at dba cases and their JustLikeGlass screen protector, both are very nice.
best case for s3 = UAG.

The OP said no bulky cases, the UAG isn't exactly slim. The DBA slimgrip is a good, really thin case, and the complete ultra is a really thin full coverage case.
I know you said no otterbox cases but the commuter might be good in your case with a screen protector.. I have the defender series it comes with one and the Grey and white case goes flush with my white s3
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
I'd suggest either the DBA Ultra or Incipio Faxion.
Slimest case would be the ringke slimlite imo
Sent from my Galaxy S3 using neighbors wifi
I have several cases and just received the Ringke Slim Lite case. It has to be the slimmest case in my collection but also the one offering the least protection. For $10 on Amazon you really can't go wrong with the case it feels really soft and I really like that my phone still keeps the skim profile it has.

Yup. I have it also. Only use it when relaxing browsing with the phone lol. Feels so good. The seidio surface has a similar coating, soft grip.

Ultra cases from DBA was the best solution for me because it's consisted of 2 parts so you can also mix the colors the way that suits you most.
I've been using the white TPU matched with a blue slate PC on a pebble blue S3.
I saw the post regarding the Case-Mate for our phone. However, I see Ballistic also offers a protective case, but have not found a single review on it. Can anyone comment on this case or their experience with it? What about the Otterbox Commuter?
My current plan is to purchase the ZAGG full-body kit to protect the rear cover and sides of the LG OGPro. However, I want to use one of the tempered glass screen protectors and a protective case to reduce the rick of accidental damage.
Please advise.
2/4 - Installed the Ballistic case yesterday. It does fit wll, they claim it protects the phone from a ~8 drop. The reviews I found on Amazon were useful. For the time being this is what I have...

I have the Ballistic case for my optimus g pro and it works just fine. Buttons are easier to push than the other case I had and ports and cutouts are perfect. The wireless charging still works as well. I would highly recommend.
My parents have both the OtterBox and Ballistic for their OGPs. I haven't actually played with either of them since they live in Florida and me in Iowa, but they prefer the ballistic. I had both cases for my old Atrix HD and definitely preferred the ballistic. So much sturdier than the OtterBox and the buttons are definitely easier to push.

Dropped my OPO about 4 feet, and the screen cracked. I have the official OPO case that I ordered with my phone but it clearly didn't help any. Looking for a rugged case but all I can find is the Diablo Tough Rugged case. Can anyone recommend another? I am paying 120 for this screen so I'd like to actually protect it this time.
I'd get a tempered glass screen protector personally
Tudia Slim-Fit Cygen
I use the Tudia Slim-Fit Cygen case and it's proven to be a very solid case. I don't think there are any TRULY rugged cases out there for the OPO yet, but this is probably the closest one TO that.
Getting a tempered glass screen protector is a great idea. I purchased one a few months ago. OnePlus recently started actually having their official TP screen protector on their main site .. which is the way I'd undoubtedly go if I purchased one today. With that said .. I certainly wouldn't stop there. Tempered glass screen protector + the most protective case available (Cygen .. unless something new has been released that I haven't seen .. which I'd love to hear about) sounds like the best move.
what he said
Yes.. I bought a diztronic ultra and a tudia.. The diztronic didn't make the cut, the Tudia is better made and just looks a lot better. I also been looking for a good case for this phone, but the only thing that comes close is the jkase. But I feel good about the Tudia and a glass screen protector.
I'm still waiting for something to come along.

I have the same case, the Jkase diablo black version, I tried searching on different places but all I saw was this case, I don't know why, don't people like to protect their phones? the other ones looks like they are just a decoration and don't offer protection
Layer some Sugru on a non-slick case and you'll have a great rugged case.

Never had the chance to see a case like this, but I think that part will be bad quality plastic or easy to get dirty or fingerprints/ air inside. Need to watch a review before buying
