I just got my t-mobile GS3 today! I love it so far coming from a Sensation.
Looking here in the accessories section is quite overwhelming. Can a few of you recommend a good (not very expensive) screen protector (prefer dry application type, but not necessary)?
Also what is a good basic case for protection? Maybe a decent (but not expensive) TPU case and also one of those leather flip cases?
Im not new to XDA and I realize that there is TONS of info on screen protectors and cases here, but there is almost too much and the threads are like 30-90 pages long.
So if a few of you could just recommend inexpensive good screen protectors and 2 different types of cases I would really appreciate it
in the mean time ill keep searching, but there is just way too much info
Thanks!
Urban armor gear cases all the way. The screen protector included is pretty good. Better than some ive used in the past. If not look into the seidio surface, love that case too

thanks for the suggestion.
those look nice and rugged, but at this point i am not looking to spend $35 on a case. I really appreciate it though.
anyone else have any other suggestions for a decent inexpensive case (TPU or leather flip) and screen protector?
thanks
On budget the diztronic tpu seems to be peoples favorite.

Screen protector I recommended SGP ultra crystal. Case I recommended UAG. U can grab UAG from Amazon.com for only 25++. If want cheaper, get an Ballistic SG shell or Otterbox commuter.

Just got my zagg ishield installed on my phone. Its a little expensive (P1500, thats about $37), but i think its worth it since it covers the front & back part. And it has lifetime warranty.

Ive been looking on amazon though the reviews. looks like there are basically 2 versions. one is flat matte and the other is high gloss finish. I like the look of the flat black better, but some reviews say its kind of slippery. The high gloss version reviews say its not as slippery...
do you have either one? any suggestion? have you tried the flat matte?
I have the zoogue tpu which its pretty much the same as diztronics.. Mine is matte black and has nice grip, it is not as grippy as rubber but its good. Keeps the phone's slim design. The gloss i assume has better grip cause of the stickiness on the gloss. But the scratches would show alot compared to matte. I Dont have a gloss tpu so cant put my finger on the differences.

I have the matte black diztronics case. It has a little grip to it, definitely more than the phone with no case. I got matte because I hate cleaning off fingerprints plus it just looks better to me.

Always use phone cases from DSstyles.com. I am happy that they have many designs for S3 so I can choose one I like most. Besides the look, it can protect my S3 against scratches, bumps. My case is very easy to use and has perfect cutouts for all ports and buttons.

I would definitely reccomend UAG. Light weight and protective. Price is a little steep depending where you buy it.

Just wonder what kind of cellphone case most people like to use...TPU? hard? flip? frosted? glossy? black? color? transparent?
I stick to slim hard cases all along..I don't think their protection is less than those more bulky TPU cases.. (ooppss..sorry to TPU lovers..)
what is your choice?
I just ordered a UAG case for my s4. Had one on my s3 and loved it. Great quality for the price. But does not protect your phone if it falls face first onto a gravel road haha.

Bulky TPU case is not my type too. but seem many people are drawn to their protective image..

the ironic thing, the accessories section isn't even being used or these such threads aren't moved there.
that being said, I like the Otter Box defender series. too bad I needed one ASAP and I couldn't get the blue one, because not only is it available but I was able to snag OBs on Amazoon nowadays for 20% off regular price...
i like my phone without a case
if youre going to buy a case for the s4 it has to be the spigen sgp neo hybrid white/black
if you want a higher quality aluminum one then buy the iphone style one that offers full drop protection, add a spigen glast screen protector and your good to go :good:
I needed a case and an otterbox reseller is next to my T-Mobile store. Go figure

I bought the Spigen Neo Hybrid but it made the phone too big for me so I gave it to my son.
I actually like my Samsung S case the best.
Here's a list. I'm using ghost armor.

Never had a better case (for any phone) than the dualtekk for S4, such modern design and so solid, even like how it sounds when I drop my phone
I got the Otterbox Commuter, I love it.

I have a tech21 frosted gray case. The one with the orange strips built in. I love the way these cases look. I also have one on my iPhone 5. I don't know how effective the orange strips really are though.

Hi everybody.
This is my first day with my nexus 5 and I love it. I have a spigen slim armor case for it and like that to. The only thing is that the lip around the screen is very thin and I do not know if it would protect against a drop. I also have an iloome flex glass screen protector. Do any of you know if otter box or trident will make cases for the nexus 5. I am worried it will break with what I have on it now.
Thanks

Otter box says they don't have any plans on making a case for us. I-bason and ballistic , sedio all make some great cases. I also have the slim armor I feel safe enough with its lip. But on the other hand you do have a glass screen protector which will surly be closer to the lip.

I-Blason Armorbox is what I have. Being an electrician my phone takes some knocks every now and then. With this case on it feels indestructible

Don't have one, but if I have to use it, I would definitely give the Tech21 case a try (you may wanna read through page 3 for more pics)
Some drop test videos in YouTube are quite impressive.
Thank you for giving suggestions. Do you guys think I will be OK with an iloome .12 mm glass screen protector and the slim armor also do you know of and slim armor drop tests?
:happy:

I just retired my i-blason case. Unfortunately the corner rubbers started to pop off and yesterday I couldn't find one of the rubber corners. The phone doesn't fit tight and snug in the case. Now I'm rockin tech21 case. So far so good.

Where would I find the tech 21 case can you send me a link?

Its in this forum topic(Nexus 5 Accessories). I'm on mobile using tapatalk so I can't link it. They can be found in tmobile stores for 29.99 and in the tech21 thread (when you find it), some of the last pages, you will find a link with 30%? (I think) discount. Print it out and take it to the store and the case will be yours for $22 bucks

I have the Ballistic SG Maxx and while it's pretty bulky, it gets the job done. It comes with a holster which is always a plus. I got it on amazon for $25.

Due to the fact of style I would go with the ballistic however I think both would offer the same protection

I have the Ballistic SG Maxx too, I love it. It's a little bulky but feels solid. The only con for me is the hard screen protector, I love the idea, but it feels a little odd, and takes a little time to settle on the screen.
I think I might order the AEGIS. It looks promising but I wanna see some reviews first.

I would choose the Ballistic Tough Jacket MAXX (SG MAXX) for protection. I own this case and I am very satisfied with it. The only concern I have is that it attracts lint easily.
From reading reviews, I have learned that the Urbanite's coat of paint can peel off.
The Incipio Dualpro looks cheap and flimsy. The reviews are not good for it so I would not buy it.
i like the Trident N5 case I had a trident for my evo 3d many moons ago.. i always rocked otter box defender most of the time.. think ima go with the trident soon.. looks sweet
Hi,
New phone has just arrived, which case is the best for the phone?
Looking for case that is durable and will withstand the odd drop.
I had the case mate on my s2 which was brilliant. Screen remained scratch free (no screen protector) even falling face down.
Is the case mate case for the N5 as good?
Open to alternative suggestions.
Cheers,
H
I can vouch for the Reath Ringke Fusion case. Quite slim, doesn't affect use too much but enough to provide more than adequate protection. Got both colors, get the black one. The grey looks bad in person. The back is customisable.
It is strong enough to withstand drops. But not facedown on gravel because the lip is very small.
Also you can look on ebay for some nilkin sand texture cases. They are actually very good if you want a slim case. lots of grip.
How about a spigen case? The slim armor is really a recommendation.
I went with the OEM bumper case. Figured Google would know best, and I wanted my phone to be protected the moment I took it out of the box. I do feel like something such as an otterbox would provide more protection though.

I don't really like the Ringke Fusion, there are sharp edges on the case. Thats what made me switch away from the case. Other than that its a good case.
I recommend spigen screen protectors and cruzerlite case. Look in the cruzerlite thread for pics

Otterbox is my usual, but with this phone I'm getting Urban Armor.
Spigen cases are nice but they don't seem to be as well built as Incipio cases. The spigen tpu case for the Edge+ fits loose and is really flimsy while the Incipio tpu case is much more rigid and snug. Incipio gets my vote in terms of quality. I've also seen a few full coverage curved tempered glass screen protectors on ebay!

Well the slim armor case is a two part case. I was referring to the all tpu version. Not saying Spigen cases aren't good I just think Incipio cases are built a little better....
I want to get something that will show off the back color, but still provide protection. I did get the full body Invisible Shield.
