Black Bumper for S3 (HQ pics) Recommend!!

Let me start this review just by saying that i love bumper cases. I
have been looking over the internet to find the best bumper case for
our Galaxy s3. I came across this case. Its a STRONG silicone bumper
that completes me in every aspect.
First of all. Its cheap. I think that everyone can try a cheap case
and if they dont like it, they throw it to their dog. (hehehe) Guys,
seriously. this is the best bumper case i have seen over the internet.
Why? It has a nice touch when you are holding your
phone. VERY nice touch. You will want to just hold your phone because
it has a nice feel Second of all: PROTECTION. And i mean it. Front,
back and sides are fully protected.
Front side (screen): the case has a slight bump on the edges so if the
phone drops the floor, its still protected (floor not the road hehe).
Back: Again, the case has a bump on the edges. So if your phone drops
on the back, protected!!! if you want to lay down your phone on a
table: PROTECTED.
Sides: Full protection, which is obvious why: its the case hehe.
Buttons: FULLy accessible button, both power and volume buttons. They
are covered by a soft silicone so there are very easy to press
(compare to the other tpu case i have reviewed)
I dont know if there are more colours available. You must check on
sellers ebay site.
Rating: If this case would be rated its a rock solid 5/5. Believe me
on this. It defenently worths every peny guys. I even compare it with
a TPU bumper case, that i have reviewed last week, amd this is by far
better.
Enjoy the pictures. I tried to take as many as possible.
I will review more bumper cases in the near future so stay tuned.

if you find this review helpful, hit thanks

Nice review! Around the volume rocker it might need a little work but I've already ordered one of these.. 4$ shipped to Canada and it looks decent.
Thanks for the review!

You will like the case mate, i guarantee you that. Feedback when you get it so everyone knows from you too

Good review, I have the white one. Easily the best case.

I love the idea of this case, but had a similar one for my Galaxy Nexus which fell apart in a matter of days. Would be interested in reading an updated review of this one in a few weeks.

I have this case on my phone for a while and feels very steady guys. Note that i am snaping batteries daily, so the case comes on and off (by me i mean) and I havent got a problem so far.

Do you guys mean the material of the case degraded? This is all one-piece right? I was JUST shopping for my first bumper case and saw some aluminum ones that snap or screw together, but it seemed like the TPU ones are just a single piece of material and wrap around the edges.

Its a single piece mate. Plus you dont lose any signal plus its a snap in snap out plus its veryyy cheap

How does this fit with a zag shield?
Galaxy S3 Paranoid ROM.

I think that with the zagg shield you will be ok. The case has already a tight fit so its better not to use extra protection underneeth. I dont think you need zagf shield for the back cover because its already protected from the case.

If it is anything like the one for the Galaxy Nexus (and it appears to be the same), there is a hard plastic material used on the rear portions of the bumper, while the piece which surrounds the screen is flexible rubber. With the GN, the two materials separated.

i dont know for sure, but i think that it is going to work because the case is thin on the bottom. :good:

Thanks for the review, I ended up buying the same one but in white. I'm guessing they come from china because this thing isn't going to arrive for like three weeks haha. Oh well whatever.
My clear diztronic tpu case is starting to turn yellow and blue from my jeans so I really need something else. For three bucks I hope it holds up for a little while.

Do you think the the bezel or screen would get damaged if I dropped it from pocket height and it hit the corner on cement? Just wondering if I should still be extra careful when using this bumper.

i got mine in less than 3 weeks becuase the seller shipped the case in an envelope (like a mail). for three bucks its a bargain.

Let there be bumpers

Anyone know if there is a chance of getting bumpers made for the One? This phone looks too good to cover up but it would be nice to have minimal protection.

I would expect to see the Poetic Borderline from Poetic. They had it for the N4.

Wow those are new to me, very slick.

The poetic borderline and atmosphere cases are under $10 on Amazon

surely those will look stupid with the phone's curved back?? :s

The borderline case looks a bit "stupid," especially on the top and bottom. The atmosphere in the other hand, actually looks really good. So good, I already ordered one.

hmm thats certainly a much more attractive option.
is the back just clear plastic though? why is the upper right one larger, there's a microphone there isnt there?
the only things that put me off getting a case is that a) the device gets bigger and b) it no longer fits into docks etc.

Case is completely clear except for the sides. And great the hole on the top right is bigger because if the Mic. As far as adding bulk, the case not as thick as you might think. I've seen these cases on the iPhone and it looks really good. I like the fact that its clear and the look of the phone is retained. Personally I just use a case when I'm not home or at work.

If you were to accidentally drop the phone while it had one of those Poetic Borderline cases on it, and it landed flat on its back, would the first thing to hit the floor be part of the bumper or part of the phone?

Of course bumper, check the design you'll see it clearly.

first impressions from those who have them are bad - shame really as I am getting one for free and the stand aspect is really nice.
ill be going with my usual very low profile case w/ screen protector combo and then after maybe 6 months take the case off!

The flip case will serve a purpose but I wouldn't have it for everyday use, its basically thick card with microfibre lining.

It's anything but clear in the photos that I've seen. On most phones bumpers certainly will protect the phone if it's dropped on its back, but most phones don't have anywhere near as much curvature on the back of the case as the One has - a bumper would have to stick out a long way at the edge in order to protect the middle.

Ugly or not I'm looking for more protection and I have one of these on the way. I'll take some good pics for you guys when it comes. I got the red version.
Update: case came this morning. It's not as ugly as I thought, but it is a tad thick where the kickstand is. Good protection.. Better than my Ringke fusion and Tudia. I'm at work right now but will get some pics taken and posted later.

I agree. Who cares what it looks like: function > form. Let me know how it works out I may purchase one also.
Thanks

Ok here's the pics. I'm not happy with them but hopefully they will be good enough for you guys. I took them at work in a real hurry before my boss could appear and say "wtf are you doing?"
A few quick notes about the case:
-Good protection, higher edges around screen than my other cases.
-Power button feels pretty good but volume buttons are stiff and a bit mushy.
-Holes for the phone ports are of ample size.
-Case feels ok in my pocket but the thickness of the kickstand area IS noticeable even though I always have the screen side against my thigh.
-The kickstand is actually my first on any phone or tablet. It "locks" in the closed position with a snap. When trying to pull it out, it feels like it will break before it "snaps free" and folds out. Maybe it will, maybe it wont... I didn't buy the case for the kickstand anyway so I'm not worried about it.

Can you take a pic of the phone out of the case next to the case from the side, id like to see how thick it is compared to the phone.

Just ordered the white version, will come on standard shipping for around 7 days, no biggie while I wait for my TUDIA to arrive.

I don‘t think that manufacturers like spigen or otterbox will ever make cases for the opo they support devices that have more buyers like samsung or apple, anyway the most protective cases for opo are jkase diablo,diztronic ultra and tudia slimfit which do you prefer?

Poetic Affinity Case Review

Got my Poetic Affinity Case in today and figured I'd write a quick review. These poetic cases are very similar to UAG in looks and design but for 1/3 of the price. They are single peice hard poly carbonate and very ridged. Overall a nice design with a clear back to show off the beauty of your aluminum backed phone, offer a nice lip around screen for medium drop protection. My only issue is that the buttons are a little stiff but I suspect they will break in over time. I'm satisfied with my purchase and feel like it was a really good deal at around $10. It plays well with my spigen crystal screen protector and offers a good grip and feel in hand. If you guys have any questions feel free to ask. Sorry for the quality of the pics all I has was an s3 to take them.

how is the grip on it?
I had the Spigen Bumper Premium and it was still too slick for me..
Right now i have this case.. Zizo armor.. Super grippy.. but had to modify the power opening.. plus it squares off the phone and doesn't really show the HTC Beauty..

i got a Poetic Affinity case, it's a PIA to take it off if you want to, after the second time i took it off never put it on again, using Orzly FlexiCase now

in all honesty the case looks and feels good, great grip, my 2 issues with it was the taking it off because its harder "plastic", and the other issue was that the case doesn't exactly fit on top of the back of the phone, so it gets a lot of dust under there and you're gonna want to clean it.
If you can manage to take it off better than i could i would recommend the case, makes the phone a lite more bulkier but shouldn't be a problem, it wasn't for me.
I just got the Spigen rugged armor today, it's really great too, using it now!
IMO:
Poetic: good protection and good looks, still showing off your metal
Spigen Armor: good protection and good looks, no metal show off
Orzly crystal: not as good protection (thinner) but still good, and very transparent
Sorry for mentioning other cases on this thread but those are the 3 i got and i can give my opinion on

Sent from my HTC6545LVW using Tapatalk

well my case came today...
First Impressions:
Good:
1. Case feels premium.
2. Phone has great grip and texture.
3. Cutout for charger seems to be large enough for all my chargers, but will test more later.
4. Clear plastic is thick and doesn't have any tinting.
5. Cutouts for camera and speakers and mics seem perfect.
6. Buttons work great and have grip on them.
Bad:
1. Headphone cutout is small, should work for standard headphone plugs, but for a computer speaker plug in, it will not fit.. i may need to modify.
It will be interesting to see how the case does after a few days of testing... hopefully it will hold up as I really like the style and feel.
Thank you.

Shadows?
Came across this case the other day in my internet travels looking for something similar to my Supcase Unicorn Beetle Hybrid for my M8. The only case SC has for the 10 looks like a gawd damn brick. Ok for some, just not me. So, my question is, can anyone please confirm whether photos taken in this case cause any kind of blur, or shadow, from the cut out. I'm not talking about the known issues with lens flare here too, just to clarify. I've never owned a clear case but have heard of some that do cause a shadow (I am assuming a reflection from flash off the clear cut out).
Cheers.

That's exactly what i'm looking for. Thanks for the replies J4G, and the review.

Hey man, I was just about to purchase from Amazon, thought i'd read through some of the reviews and some people are advising where the camera cut out is, the case sits up off the phone a little (i.e. not flush with phone), allowing debris in through the cut out. Looks flush from your last pic. Is this true?? I really don't mean to sound pedantic want to make sure I'm happy with case before I pull the trigger cause there's none to be found in Oz and I don't want to have screw around with returns.

from what i can see, that does appear true... I haven't seen much dust and debris get in there.. however i have only had it on a few days. :silly:
I will say that a lot of people said they are a pain to get off.. however I can attest that mine is like any other case.. it does hold on well, but just peel back a corner and then work on another corner, it pops right out.. so should be easy to clean..

RhinoShield CrashGuard Bumper Case worth it?

I've heard about the RhinoShield CrashGuard Bumper Cases. Apparently, they can withstand 11ft drops on concrete. Has anyone had any experience with them in the past? Do they hold up? I am deathly afraid of cracking my S8 Plus but also find the idea of covering up my GORGEOUS phone with a case to be stupid. Thoughts?

Mine just shipped today, hopefully it'll arrive by the weekend.
My 2¢
I like idea of a bumper frame, paired up with a clear or matte body skin on the backside.
Can I attest to the extremes of the protection, not even gonna try, but , from previous use on other devices, it should do the job as advertised.
They add a bit more width to the grip of the phone than one might imagine, but, I don't think that will be an issue with this phone, it has a relatively narrow grip as-is.
I'll post when it arrives & will decide whether it becomes my daily driver case (Other two are the OEM Clear Case & OEM Alcantara Case).

Waiting for it to come on to Amazon, still isn't on there:/

I have it, the power button is a little tough to push, but I like it a lot!! Skin looks great with it

^looks like the best bumper for us! Cool

I perorder mines (and one for me wife after she saw the videos she wanted it)
They said mines has been ship but no tracking number yet
I like the idea of not coving up your phone.
I went caseless back in the day with the plastic phones. But with the new all glass/metal phones its a bit different. The metal gets bend and the glass breaks.

Looks good. Might get it with a skin as well.
Thanks.

Had one on my 6P. Dropped a number of times without any damage to the frame or screen. I will be getting one for my S8+ as well.
As for the power button being stiff...give it a week or so to break in. It gets easier to push.

My RhinoShield bumper arrived today & my 2¢:
Overall,it seems like a half-baked effort.
The sides do not cling to the phone well/gapping.
While I expected the case to add some width to the grip,they could have done a better job contouring the edges,the feel-in hand is akin to the S7 Edge,not good at all.
Buttons are extremely stiff to depress,should not be like this out of the box & require a "breaking-in" period.
For those that are planning on using a TGSP, the case may tighten up a bit,IDK,I don't use anything other than liquid sealers on my displays.
I may cut out the buttons & try using it like that. If it works out OK,I may use it on occasion,but,this case definitely falls in to the "occasional use only" category, I'll stick w/the OEM Samsung Clear hard case as a daily driver.
To say I'm disappointed would be an understatement,too bad Nillkin isn't making bumper cases anymore..........................

My RhinoShield bumper arrived today & my 2¢:
Overall,it seems like a half-baked effort.
The sides do not cling to the phone well/gapping.
While I expected the case to add some width to the grip,they could have done a better job contouring the edges,the feel-in hand is akin to the S7 Edge,not good at all.
Buttons are extremely stiff to depress,should not be like this out of the box & require a "breaking-in" period.
For those that are planning on using a TGSP, the case may tighten up a bit,IDK,I don't use anything other than liquid sealers on my displays.
I may cut out the buttons & try using it like that. If it works out OK,I may use it on occasion,but,this case definitely falls in to the "occasional use only" category, I'll stick w/the OEM Samsung Clear hard case as a daily driver.
To say I'm disappointed would be an understatement,too bad Nillkin isn't making bumper cases anymore..........................

I kind of agree with you. I was super excited for mine to come in, however, i was fairly disappointed when it arrived.
Exact same issues with it as you.

i also got one the other day and the fit is pretty bad, the sides of the bumper dont fit the phone well and for $25 i would have expected a lot better. I ordered a cheap spigen case off amazon for $11 and it fits much better then this does.

I've already boxed mine up,contacted EvoLutive Labs via e-mail & requested a refund.
I stated the reasons pretty much the same as we've experienced,hope to hear back in a day in a day or two.
I've been pleased w/their past efforts,but,this one is a fail. Perhaps those w/the S8 are having a better experience,probably not experiencing the loose fit as we are,chalk that up to the extra height of the S8+.
A tight fit is a challenge here,but,I feel it could have been better.

Forgot to post back.
I got my case a few days ago and been using it. It works for me so far.
The sides of the case does fit a little lose, but the phone doesnt slide around it. So all that is fine, its probably has something to do with the protection it offers.
The buttons are a bit on the hard side to push in.
The back have a nice lip so the camera and everything is lifted up. Same for the front.
The edges on the front are a bit exposed but it would have to be in order to use the phone. But it still seems like it would protect.
The phone feels great in this guard. there arent any sharp corners on the bumper.
I had a thin silicon case that had sharp corners on the ports and it would cut into my hand. This one doesnt do that which is great.
Also funny that my silicon case was suppose to be super thin but yet this bumper makes the phone seems alot thinner then the phone in the silicone case.
I got the black one and a blue on on the way for my wife. I doubt she will use it since i brought her a wallet case before she got her phone.

I'm still waiting on mine. I got an email with a tracking # finally, but it still says pre-shipment. So I guess it won't be showing up this week.

Yea therr shipping is weird.
Normally they email ypu saying your order is fulfilled.
Then a day or 2 later you get a tracking number.
It will say pershipment. Then a day or 2 later it will get pick up.
And then about 2-3days for it to make it to you.
