This case looks excellent. I'll be keeping watch on their blog from here on out to see when I can pre-order.

I had one on my s2. First week it was fantastic..
After that, garbage. The lining portion they provide stretches and causes a gap in between the back of the phone and the lining. Got pretty annoyed with it and threw it away.

They have updated it.
So what's different? In previous versions a silicone cover was used. However, we've updated the series is a new TPU material. This new material is still as soft and dust-resistant, but with added durability and protection. Perhaps the best update on the new Neo Hybrid for the Galaxy S3 is that there is absolutely NO sagging or expanding of the TPU cover due to heat from device.Great news to all Neo Hybrid fans out there!

It ses the harder material sits on the phone, while the softer TPU material is on the outside. Seems like that is scratches just waiting to happen. Now reverse that so that TPU inside, hard shell outside, and add an optional belt clip and I'll take 2!!!

Did you read the website?
The Galaxy S3 Neo Hybrid Case Series will be the same dual concept as the Galaxy S2 and iPhone. The case features a TPU cover with a hard polycarbonate frame. The TPU material protects the phone by absorbing shock from any accidental drops. The hard plastic frame protect the phone from scratches and scuffs. Having both the advantages of a hard and soft case makes the Neo Hybrid an all-around protective solution.

The frame (outside) is PC (hard). The cover, TPU, absorbs the shock.
Your phone wont be getting scratches with this case.

Bummer... the TPU is blue only the border of the hard case is white.

I've never clicked on their blog, and but they have really good stuff. Nano Clear Giveaway?? eek!

I did, but not carefully enough I guess. The 'TPU cover' is what threw me. Thanks

I'm really liking the look of this case. I just wish they had different color options for the backs. It says they're interchangeable for different looks. Well how can I get a different look if all the backs are the same?

Has anyone had this case on the Nexus or other phone? Are they high-quality cases? (They appear to be pretty darn good.)
I like how there still appears to be lots of room around the home button for my fat thumb! Many other cases seem to have a lower lip that protrudes close to the home button...
Thanks!

I had it on the gnex and loved it. I think this one is using a different material than the gnex neo hybrid but SPG never puts out crap.

[Q] Best sgs3 case

Hey guys I am a nood to android devices i have had my tmobile sgs3 for about 2 weeks and love it i was wondering what is the best thin case for the phone. one that wont add bulk and still keep the slim feel if you have a links to one that would be great thanks.

I use the official case from Samsung. It's blue, adds no bulk, and covers headphone & usb port.

No problem

I use a sunglass bag. I had to get a replacement for my sunglasses and ordered 12 on Amazon. I didn't know what to do with them all!

I thought the samsung flip case doesn't cover the top and bottom? It's basically a back cover that's connect to a flip cover that covers the front...

i love the flip cover but i have Hyperion 4000mah battery so it wont fit

I'm a big fan of the Otterbox Defender. I'm fine with added bulk, since I don't have girly hands

I just picked up one fo these off Amazon (currently enroute).
Fosmon PC + TPU Hybrid Case for Samsung Galaxy S3 S III - Black
Sorry I can't link it, my work firewall will allow me to be on XDA/vBulletin and Ebay, but not Amazon.
Just put the description in either Google or Amazon and it'll come right up. Less that $6 and still slim and sturdy.

I have this case: http://www.amazon.com/Incipio-SA-302-Silicrylic-Silicone-Samsung/dp/B0085VAP38/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1348273886&sr=8-1&keywords=incipio+galaxy+s3 and love it. It is not the thinnest, as it does add a bit of bulk, but not as bad as it looks in the photos. It has two layers, and protects the phone well. First had one on my Galaxy Nexus and had to get it for my GS3.

I bought the Verizon case that has a slide out kickstand so you can watch movies, its slim doesn't protect it all the way around but has a holster, since i'm not one to drop my phone

It's not actually a Verizon case. I have the same one off Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008B85DNC/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
It doesn't add any bulk and the kickstand is pretty nice. I've actually dropped it once, but it was from around 2-3 feet. It fell on the screen side, nothing broke, though.

I've got the ghost armor. Wouldn't really protect you from a drop, but keeps the scratches off or covers the ones you already got.

It's amazing, very light and thin. Doesn't add bulk at all. Plus there are tons of colors to choose from.

Thanks for you response. I donr have girly hands either I just don't like how big otterbox makes the phone

Anything similliar to the official Nexus 4 bumper?

Hey,
is there any decent, slim, non-aluminium, perfect fit, bumper for SGS3? Like this one for Nexus 4 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvuFn_fbUBo
I'm hoping for camera/screen protection when my phone is on the table + some drop protection, without adding any bulk.
I couldn't find anything decent. The only interesting case I found was the Rock Quicksand Cover, but it thickens the phone a little and it cracks easily. Non-glossy and non-slippery battery cover with camera protection could work too, but couldn't find any aswell

SGP makes the ultra bumper series that appears to be good quality (review: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1918150&highlight=sgp) but apparently they think that only the iphone owners like dark and sober colors.. as for the galaxy s3 they only make them in white or bright colors..

I own that case and it is the best TPU case I HAVE OWNED. Its a matte finish on the bumper side, soft at the buttons but not flimsy that'll make them activate on their own. The back is frosted but you can still see through and see your back cover.
Back part is my only concern because it looks like it can shatter but it doesn't. I have dropped it several time from my truck, and my truck is lifted.
I never hype cases, but when I opened the packaging for this thing I was WTF because its stuff but flexes a little. Snapped it on and damn my phone is a sexy beach!!!

I was about to make a similar post so I might as well post my questions here:
is there anything similar to the quick cover, that doesn't cost a kidney, and is available easily across Europe (suggested alternatives above aren't unfortunately) ?
I'm searching for something that doesn't add much bulk and would cost between 10 to 25 €...
Thanks !

Is there any wallet style case that have all around the protection like in the Diztronic TPU matte black. I don't like about the holes bottom there and in sides.. I want case without any holes, more protection!

Are generic TPU cases reliable from a potential 4 feet drop crack screen ?

Yes bro!!
TPU cases strong enough to handle 5-6 ft drop; however, it depends on the screen size of phone as well!
I keep my LG Optimus G Pro in Silicon case, and my Galaxy S3 in TPU case!

Not with this phone. I bought this one:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DCAX5L6/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Some of the reviewers actually dropped their phones onto concrete and this case protected the phone well. It fits very snug and you get used to the extra bulk fast.

My mother has that case for her Mega. It seems pretty good.
For my e980, I have this case -

It also comes in many colors -
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dmobile&field-keywords=e980+holster
I wanted a case like an otterbox with a holster, and this is the closest you will find. I like it a lot. The only thing I do not like, is it does not have a screen protector, so a separate one must be put on. Many reviewers say it's very hard to put in and take out of the holster. I have no problems like that. I think they are trying to put it in the holster with the screen facing out, which is impossible to do. It was designed to cover the screen in the holster.
I don't believe the case stfly posted has a screen protector either.

Yeah, it doesn't have a built-in screen protector, but those cases look a bit cheap. The primary reasons for my choice were the price and the number of reviews. Got it for a song... I think $2.
I realize it's not very smart to skimp on the protection for an expensive gadget but I got lucky this time. It's a very high quality cover.
