S-Line case from eBay is awesome

I just got my S-line case (black) from eBay and I love it. It adds very little bulk, seems like it will do a good job protecting my phone, and looks very nice.
Definitely worth the $5!

I have one as well. Love it. Too bad the car dock doesn't work with the case on. I hate having to take it off, but at least it's pretty easy.

Agree with you on all fronts, including car dock and easiness of taking the case off.

S-Line Ebay Case

For what it's worth, I got the black one, but I've heard better comments on the smoke one when I was doing my research.

pretty cool looking, does it hold up?

is the inside rubber/silicon?

There seems to be 2 types of materials, 3 finishes.
On mine, the clearish part is a slightly-bendable hard plastic with the texture of what all of my matte hard plastic. Think the type of plastic that is one most power adapters (that aren't shiny) but add a slightly bendable aspect to it.
The black part on the back is shiny, slick, smooth, and more flexible. It's similar to silicon cases (what I can assume you mean by soft gel/rubber) but I think it's still different. It seems to be less "floppy" even though it is very bendable. The shiny black part seems to "stick" to certain surfaces (such as my desk and other hard/flat surfaces) but not to some that you would expect (it doesn't stick to my pockets at all and glides just fine across my clothing, car seat, and non-leather furniture - it might stick to leather, I don't know). The black part on the front appears to be the same material as the black part on the back, but with a matte finish. The result of the different finish is that it doesn't have the "stickiness" on much of any surface, yet still gives your hand a slight bit of grip beyond what the stock TBolt gives you.
Overall, the "feel in hand" is comfortable and it gives you extra grip but doesn't feel sticky or anything like that. Imagine going from a slick, hard-plastic phone to a phone with a rubberized body (like our TBolt has). Going from a naked TBolt to this case is kinda like taking that one step further. But in no way could I ever describe it as "feeling sticky" in my hand or pocket.

So it looks like/feels like it's not going to just fall apart or anything like that, if that's what you mean. I can't envision drops/dings or other daily use wearing it down.
The ONE concern that I have about it holding up is because it is made with two types of "plastic" (I don't know if it's plastic, silicon, rubber, or whatever, hence my quotes). I fear that if I take the case off and on a lot (for my car dock), that the joints of the two plastics might start to come apart. This is NOT based on any quality issues that I have seen so far, just a concern based on the fact that this wasn't produced in a single mold when it was melted down (this is coming from somebody with an engineering background).
I will be shocked, though, if I have a problem with this case in the next 6 months, and for $5, well, I'd say that's pretty damned good!

Read my post a couple posts up about the 2 different types of materials with 3 finishes. As best as I can tell, the inside is the same material as the outside. What this means is that 60% of it is the very flexible plastic while the clear part does cover ~40% of the back. I would expect the black part to offer more protection to a fall/bump than the clear part, and fortunately the black part covers most of the corners and edges. Still, I expect the clear part to offer more protection than a hard plastic case would.

Updated the OP with some photos. Perhaps they will help.

thanks for the detailed feedback!

This case will also fit into the Verizon holster/shell combo holster. You just can't use the VZW shell, but it'll slide into the holster. The fit is a little snug, but it works. I like to swap out this case with the VZW shell. This one provies more protection, but the VZW one is pretty cool too.
In case anybody was wondering, I got mine from this seller from China: http://goo.gl/62Fhx
It took something like 10 days to get to me, but I didn't mind since it cost less than a good burger.

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 would say skip on the body glove adds a good amount of thickness... If anything check out the d3o sold at tmobile stores, it's rubbery but dust or lint won't stick to it cause I keep it in my pocket and it adds little bulk, still slim, múltiple colors to chose from goes for 24.99... Loving it only thing a pain to remove so make sure you won't be removing it a lot also the thick of some chargers have to be forced in but nothing crazy....

i have to disagree with the d3o case. IMO,they are absolute junk. i actually ended up buying the white body glove after a few months of use. i was tired of having to push hard on the power button just to get a response. Using the D3O case overtime, i noticed the power button recessed in and was super sensitive to the touch. The white Body Glove has little-to-none button resistance.
Plus my over-the-ear-headphones would never fit in the headphone jack. yes you can use something with a skinnier 3.5mm jack,but i'm not willing ditch nice cans.

No, but I know what you mean. The back is made out of 2 types of materials. One on side of the S, there is plastic like you would put on a couch as a covering. On the other side of the S, there is a really soft and smooth rubber. Nothing sticks to it. Check out this thread for more info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1885042

Favorite Gel Case

I tried 2 gel cases the mini suit and amzers both found on Amazon.com
The mini suit doesn't have a gel feel, and lacks protection. Here's the link for mini suit..
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias=aps&field-keywords=Amzer+note+10.1
Amzers case has a very jelly feel, and is also much thicker. The price is well worth the extra grip and protection. Which is my favorite thing about the case. It helps you grip the enormous 10in display comfortably without fear of slippage.
http://www.amazon.com/Amzer-AMZ9466...id=1359557273&sr=8-1&keywords=Amzer+note+10.1
All in all if you want the cheapest case you can get to prevent back scratches go with mini suit. If you actually want a grippy protective gel case go with the Amzer. Both cases come in many colors, and at only $20 for the amzer, and $10 for the mini suit($5 shipping included) they are both a steal!
Please remember to thank post if you found it helpful!

Been thinking about getting amzer case, but have read a few reviews that say the silicon doesn't sit flush with the tablet. And that's, my one concern, tell us about it in y your opinion, and photos would be great thanks

Hey man, So I was about to post pics for you but my phone kinda crapped out. Sent it into samsung so it should be back in the next 2 weeks. I will try to borrow my GF's GS3 to take some pictures later.. Unfortunately I am using a basic Huawei Android ATT Go phone in the mean time. No flash ****ty 3MP camera wouldn't really show you what you want to see.
I will be honest though, my thoughts about the amzer case where exactly that it was an amazingly snug and good fit. All the speakers/mics/camera/everything is all flush.

I have the amzer. It is thick and heavy. Loads of protection though. It covers all the silver except for speaker grills. There is a YouTube clip I think.

The amzer is definitely thick and good on protection.

Good

Im not sure if your aware of the newer types of polymers used for gel cases nowadays. They are more dust resistent. In short I dont have a huge dust issue when using the amzer gel case. It stays fairly clean and if it attracts an occasional cat or dog hair theyre not statically glued to the case! Hope this helps!​

I have the mini suit and it's great. Fits snugly and all the holes match up. I have a handmade leather case for my note and the mini suit is good to use when I'm walking around with it.

Looking for a case like the Ringke Slim with full edge protection

I have the Ringke Slim and while I love the case I don't love the exposed top and bottom edges. I went on to try the Spigen Slim Armor but I'm not pleased with the sharp edges at the bottom, the added bulk, or the tactile feel of the buttons. Too difficult to press. The phone seems decently protected but I'm just not happy.
I want something like the Ringke Slim with full edge protection but I can't seem to find it. Any suggestions?
Thanks for your help!

Says the guy that flies by the thread with a one-liner to search Amazon. Like I said, super helpful. I had a specific request. I didn't ask "where can I find cell phone cases?" You are the ass with the useless response. Just trying to troll my help request. The only way your response could be more unhelpful would be if you said "Try searching online." Please go away if you have nothing constructive to contribute.
If anyone has a specific recommendation for a brand or model I'm all ears. I've spent a considerable amount of time on Amazon, eBay and elsewhere searching and haven't found it so perhaps what I'm looking for just doesn't exist.

I just checked it out. Looks great but its polycarbonate
Why is no one making a slim TPU case like the Ringke that covers all the edges? I found tons of knockoffs on eBay but still no edge protection on any of them. Weird.

There's always "that guy" in these threads. sad.
I know it's tpu but the diztronic probably offers the best protection to slim ratio. I have them for my GS3 & 4 (also have Ringke slims) . I personally don't like them after experiencing the Ringle slim though and that's what I prefer. The Ringke actually does offer decent top and bottom edge protection as it comes up above and below the phone edges. It would have to fall just right to hit the phone edge. One thing I dislike the most about diztronic is how cheap it looks and how cheap it makes the phone look. Totally takes away from the N5 looks imo
You can lightly sand the Ringke slim sharp edges. It really works.
The ever growing more popular unobtainable LG hardcover covers the top edge. Good luck finding one though
Protection vs slim vs materials = tradeoffs

That's a great looking case. Let's hope it actually materializes soon. Seems like it is exactly what I want. Still a little exposed along the bottom but better than the Ringke and it has the Nexus logo. Awesome!

You'll never have a hardcase that provides coverage for all 4 edges and all 4 corners.
There needs to be physical bending points so you can get the phone in and out. If you had all 4 corners and edges covered it would not be possible because of the rigid material it is made of. A 1 piece hardcase by design, can never offer full protection.
TPU/Gel cases can do this because they are soft and can bend/stretch easily, hard plastic doesn't. It gives a little bend, then it snaps.
The LG Hardshell comes closest, but the exposed bottom is necessary so you can physically bend the sides out and slide the phone in. It does have the best bottom protection I've seen though, as the corners wrap further towards the centre.

If it was a softer TPU I think it would work without too many issues.

I think I'm going to try the Diztronic case. It seems like the closest thing to what I'm looking for that I can actually get my hands on right now. I'm not excited about the buttons and may need to cut them out. I love the cutouts on the Ringke Slim. They work perfectly. Third time's the charm right?????

Sure, but then it would be a TPU case and not a hardcase.

When this LG hardcase was mentioned it didn't fully dawn on me that it was a rock hard solid plastic case - I'm a little dumb, I realize that. You are correct on all accounts.
Is the Ringke TPU? It is pretty firm. If the top and bottom were totally covered like most other cases except for a tiny bit maybe in the center (of the top and bottom edges) to provide a flex point when getting it off I think that would be perfect. Oh well.
Obviously these manufacterers should have consulted me!
