What cases do you guys use, and what case in the market do you think is the best?
I personally love thin form factors to not take away much from the phone itself. I currently use and love the poetic palette case which only sells for 5$. the other option I was looking at was the spigen ultra thin air case which goes for 25$.
Would the otterbox commuter be a good choice?

The Commuter is always a good choice. Also, check out Spigen.

You actually wasted time saying this, contribute to the conversation or move on. To much flaming going on, now I remember why I can't stand xda anymore. To much ******* attitude instead of help. Does it physically hurt you that it's here instead of accessories, NO IT DOESN'T SO MOVE ON!!!!
It depends on your preference. Do you want a case that shows off the phone curves? How about a tough case for heavy protection. Or a case for light protection? Of maybe you want one that shows you notifications before you turn the phone on?
It can also depend on what type of person you are or your job. Do you work in construction? With children? At a desk?
Me personally, I work in a store with lots of people, and I have a 3-year-old nephew, plus I sometimes drop my phone. I don't care for "sexy" cases, I want tough cases, no matter how ugly.
But that's me. You might be different or want something completely the opposite.

Otterbox defender.... Best case ever had... It's also on my s3

I normally just use the TPU cases from eBay which work just fine. However, decided to invest a bit more on protection for the S4.
After a bit of searching I narrowed it down to the Neo Hybrid from Spigen and Atmosphere from Poetic. I think the slickness and price pushed me towards to Atmosphere more and that would be my recommendation.
Here's a link and a picture of the case.

I have both the Spigen Slim Armor and the Neo Hybrid and like them both very much.

Does your Spigen Slim Armor cover the entire bezel? I got one when it first came out, and it bugged me that it never fully covered the entire bezel. I'm in the process of returning the Slim Armor and already placed an order for the Neo Hybrid.
another vote for otter box defender, I work outdoors in a lot of forrested areas and it does me a solid. I would also check out the platinum series case with the holster and stand. It does a good job as well its just a slimmer less protective case compared to the defender.

It protects the entire bezel, but I can see a hair line portion of the chrome most the way around. I think I have gotten used to it.
I just got my rearth ringke case today and really like it. It's very very thin and light. I don't think it'll protect well from a drop, but should protect the phone from everyday scratches.
I also got a tpu case and did not like it because the edges were raised too high..it made it difficult to type!

So, I bought the smoked colored TPU case because matte black was sold out. I like the case because it's small and doesn't add more bulk to an already huge phone.
My problem is that it's very slippery, I'd like something a bit more grippy but do not want the full rubber cases, I had a case mate on my old phone and I sometimes it was a pain to take out and put in my pocket, it would just come off of the phone..
The matte black TPU I heard was good, but will it be as slippery as the one I have now.
This seems to have decent reviews:

Thanks, but the jack info is a deal breaker. I use my phone every time I get in my car with the Aux input. It's my source of music, taking the case on and off every single time would be a big hassle.

trident aegis case is money followed by casemate tough case . in between those two cant go wrong
This is the next one I'm getting, thought I'd share it. They have other colors as well.
I didn't see another thread with this specific topic. Who out there is using a case for their GS3, and what cases are you using? I'm on the fence, am not usually a case user, and I'm not sure which one to buy. Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Also, any pictures and/or links would be appreciated!
i got a case from rockphones. Its really more of a stylish low profile bumper than an encasement
I've been hearing good things about Diztronic cases so I ordered one to try out.
Are the TPU cases supposed to be good shock absorbers?
I picked up a Body Glove today from a local AT&T store. Way overpriced, at $30. But, it is a snug fit, and the whole thing slips into a leather belt-holster nicely.
That being said, I just put on a Zagg HD and am thinking of ordering one of those carbon-fiber stick-ons.
I've got a Rock case on order, just waiting for it to ship. It comes from China so it takes a while to ship but those who have had it said it is very slim and works great with the phone. Definitely not the case to look for if you are looking for protection but I am just looking for something that wont scratch the bottom and protect the camera and screen a little.

I agree. If you find one please let me know.
This is the case I bought, hopefully it's good. There's not enough reviews about cases yet, so I'm nervous when making decisions on which accessories to get for the S3.
Elsse Case
Otterbox Commuter here. This thing is so slick and slippery I am going to need to put some duct tape or something on it for grip! The store only had plain ole black so maybe I'll just get a Defender online since I know they're grippier.
i ordered the incipio silicrylic case after reading alot of good reviews. just waiting for it to come in.

I bought the Diztronic case. It's decent and it comes with a screen protector which was easy to put on.

it is a great case, just a little thick for me. i'm still on the hunt for a decent hybrid that doesn't add too much bulk. looking to try out the pop case by case mate and go from there. i might end up with a high end TPU, either from incipio or speck. the price difference between those two is very large though (almost 20 bucks ).
I was not using a case and you can tell from the pics I've attached I'm regretting it... I do have insurance, so getting a replacement. In addition, I'm going to try the Case Mate Pop.
As I'm sure someone will ask, the screen shattered by landing perfectly flat (screen first) on tile from a ~3 foot fall. The phone without a case is so thin & slick...
I got 3 - went Red, White and Blue!
Couldn't decide which to get, so got 3 !!
I had a Trident Aegis before for my prior phone, the LG g2x (longest year of my life, loved and HATED that phone, it reset ALL the time, even after SW update!) and it does make it bulkier but is GOOD protection, so I got several levels of protection, looks sleekness, after reading everyone else's input, recommendations etc
Got them all on Amazon (along with more goodies!)

Otterbox Top Quality
I've owned three Commuter cases (for Samsung Captivate, Infuse, and Note) and you can't beat them for the protection.
The only issues I have had are how the clips are attached to the plate. Twice I've had them break on me, BUT, Otterbox has been very prompt at sending me a FREE replacement. I also have to say that each time I was leaning in such a way that I was putting pressure on the belt clip, so I can't entirely fault the clip. Since they replaced it (promptly), I have no negative feelings.
Although they are a bit pricey, you can definitely see why they do cost more. I would HIGHLY recommend them. They give your phone top-notch protection. :good:
I bought the case today and compared to the case mate tough this provides much more protection however it does the phone slippery due to the hardcover having minimal grip. The biggest gripe I have with this case is the power and volume rockers are really difficult to press and I have contacted otterbox about it and just awaiting reply now.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Anybody using the commuter in a car mount yet ? If so which one, and any chance of a few piccies ?
Also, does the thickness of the case interfere with the NFC at all ?

I didn't have an issue with the grip of the case but the buttons are a big problem. I did point it out in my review. The trident case is a lot better button wise.

great review, I have been searching for a gal s3 specific otterbox review and haven't found any... until now.
That is an issue re the lovely sleek lithe lines of the s3 being covered and ruined by protection, but as has been said, thats the trade off i guess.
I am having a really hard time deciding between a few cases. Bought the invisible skin full body protector (it's my goto scratch protection despite niggles with it) and that will sit beneath any case I buy. May have to take the rear skin off to fit but will cross that bridge...
Fancied a defender but the built in screen protector bothers me as I am worried about it fading and misting over time, where as the commuter does allow for the separate screen skin which then can be removed and replaced independently if required.
Would really like the defender but it is increasingly looking like the commuter will be the best solution :/
I just picked the Aegis off eBay for $26 shipped. Good case so far.

If you want grip and slim go for DBA Thin Grip. Not so expensive either. Look at the thread here on xda.

the armor case look awesome !! Thanks.
I have the seidio surface case...and I jus dropped it today from waste level on a concrete surface and let me tell you I was scared to look at my screen when I turned it over...cause the drop sounded nasty...I cursed in front of my 7 year old daughter...but to my astonishment the phone was fully intact and not a single mark on the phone...case took quite a beating though...
IMO...this is the best case and by far not as bulky as its bigger sibling the Active Case...so if you want little to no bulk and still offering great protection...I will stand by the Seidio Surface Case all the way...

Hey guys,
I am late to the Nexus 5 owner parade, but none the less really enjoying this phone. I have not been able to find a good case for it though, most are very slim and cover the back and sides but not top and bottom. Amazon has mixed reviews on alot of the more popular cases, but I'm guessing most of the cases might be hidden somewhere deep in the pages since the phone is a few years old. Any suggestions on a good protective case, something like an otterbox commuter series style versus a defender, I don't need all out protection, just good dual layer setup. I like the ballistic case, but I have ordered 2 and both were labeled Nexus 5, but for the Nexus 6
Appreciate any advice and feel free to post up pics of your setup you recommend if you are using it.
Slim armor by Spigen. even the false one from china are very good quality.

@Ben36 is possible to use tempered glass with that case?
Yea it'd work, but the tempered glass would be under the cases own protective screen. Unless you mean rip the cases screen out all together, which again would work. But i honestly wouldn't say you'd need to. It's protected mine perfectly for 2 years and I'm on building sites etc

ringke fusion or spigen ultra hybrid. imo they've got quite good drop protection. almost 2 years using em.
I actually currently have the spigen ultra on my Z5. It's a really nice good fitting case. No where near the protection of the armourbox but still pretty good. I'd say if the armourbox was a 10 the spigen is about a 6-7 on protection. So if you don't want really rugged and just good decent protection then the spigen is really good

Nice looking, but I would not call it "protective" if you dropped it.
Use Bugdroid Case from Cruzerlite. Best Case. U can watch videos on you tube ppl dropping nexus 5 in it and its a good protection in less then 10$
I have the Tech21 Impactology case, and it's pretty good.

I have Spiden Neohybrid.. and this is good.... it has so many times saved my phone. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8Wtrdn0R-Q
I have had both soft and harder cases from miniinthebox. Cheap and do the job well.
Best Case Brands!
If you need at least a list to choose, here are my picks:
1. Cruzerlite Bugdroid Circut
2. Caseology TPU Case
3. Diztronic Matte Black
4. Spigen Neo Hybrid (Best color is red
So far I have a history with Cruzerlite and Spigen, but I have recently bought a Caseology case from YouTube reviews that were really good.
Ringke Fusion. It's great and holds up well even after 1.5 years of use.
Spigen Slim Armor, durable and good looking. Totally worth the price.
Spigen
Spigen cases are pretty awesome, I have the Slim Armor one on my nexus, work perfectly and hasnt deteriorated after >1 year of use. They also have a lifetime warranty on the case I think so if it does mess up they will send you a new one for free

Hey guys,
I am late to the Nexus 5 owner parade, but none the less really enjoying this phone. I have not been able to find a good case for it though, most are very slim and cover the back and sides but not top and bottom. Amazon has mixed reviews on alot of the more popular cases, but I'm guessing most of the cases might be hidden somewhere deep in the pages since the phone is a few years old. Any suggestions on a good protective case, something like an otterbox commuter series style versus a defender, I don't need all out protection, just good dual layer setup. I like the ballistic case, but I have ordered 2 and both were labeled Nexus 5, but for the Nexus 6
Appreciate any advice and feel free to post up pics of your setup you recommend if you are using it.

Any battery cases under $10 for nexus 5?
I've been pleased as Punch with this Ballistic case.

It's bulky and it isn't exactly cheap, but if you drop phones as often as I do it's worth it. Plus it feels pretty nifty in the hand.
