I'm looking for a case for my s3. I have an otterbox which I love. The other day though, I took it off because my phone was overheating. I MISS this slimness.
Here's the issue, I dropped my phone in the past. On the very top left of the phone, there's a small crack. The otterbox defender covers that corner with that lip in the plastic. I'm looking for something with a grip so the phone doesn't fall again as well.
Thanks in advance

I like the Rock Quicksand. It's pretty slim, though it gets a "used" look after a few months in my pockets.
I'm showing a picture of what I mean by the otterbox lip that I need. It covers my crack. I saw (I think its the element case) with the speaker redirect and that was pretty cool. Does anyone know if that will work?

$0.02:
I think it would be the Seidio case. I don't personally care for their holsters.. just my opinion.
They have the spring-holster that looks like it is supposed to be a holster for Just the phone
I wonder if it would accommadate a tpu case? or a bumper? maybe even one of the cases that just cover the back?
..like this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1749550
Oh, and this is the holster I mentioned: http://www.seidioonline.com/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-spring-clip-holster-p/hlssgs3as.htm
My only concern on the seidio cases is the rubberized coating. Any chance of it chipping off?

My concern would be the spring loaded action. Seems like if you were to bump something, it would open it enough to let the phone fall out.
I've never tried one of the holsters though.

Ive got a cheapo xtremeguard, same as zagg pretty much if not better. The bad thing about the defender protectors, along with every other case with attached screen protector is that eventually dust/dirt will collect under the plastic and scratch the screen.

Would the Defender (or even Commuter) work well with a Zagg HD? I worry about the sides peeling up.

The defender work well with full scree protectors. Since the case overlaps the edges quite a bit. I think the commuter is the same
Sent from my Galaxy S3 using neighbors wifi
I'm using spigen nano clear , and you can buy a case for back
I also use the defender and I use the screen protecter that comes / attached with it
But I also put a universal screen protecter on the screen its self.
So if dirt or dust ever gets under screen ( which in 4 years never has happen) my screen wont get any marks or scratches

Commuter and zagg work great. The case covers the edges so no worries there.
I recommend the commuter over the defender. I work construction and my phone is fine. The defender was too bulky and the soft rubber on the outside made it tough to get into and out of my pocket.
Just throw the POS screen protector that the commuter comes with in the garbage IMO

Get the white and gray spigen bumper case. Looks a lot better in person, I love mine.
i know only 2 examples of slim cases for our device:
- slim case by Samsung (Blue and White)
- 035 by Cellular Line (Blue, White, Green, Grey, Purple)
dou you know these?
Is the otterbox commuter slimmer than the defender as my defender is too bulky but I like the protection especially with a 2 year old around!!!!

Perfect. Just right amount of pressure on both. I love the sides grip thingies. I can get a nice grip on first attempt of phone pick up. Same goes for when holding in hand, ot wont slide out of hand and dont need to rely on the pinky finger to stop it from sliding out lol

Are the Elago Slims any good? I have a Ringke case for my GNex and loved it. It had a small lip that kept the screen raised slightly if laying flat. The Elago seems to not have this?
Elago is the same price on Amazon and has more colors....
Alright well I love the Samsung flip cover case but it has one major flaw. Almost no protection from shock/fall/sabotage. So I decided to do this.
Basically I took the TPU case and cut around where the flip cover flips. This allowed me to use both at the same time and still have full use of the volume rockers. May not look the prettiest on the left edge but it has way more protection. Now if my phone falls the corners won't get all messed up but at the same time I got the sexy flip cover to protect the screen (mainly from ear sweat loll)
Check it out, hope this helps someone keep their phone in great condition.
Awesome little mod! I've thought about trying that with my otter box but im too scared to take the dremel to it loll
