UAG black - very good protection with just enough bulk/weight combo. Also, the case fits perfectly on the phone, very high quality production. With awesome design to boot. The screen cover it brings is also the best one i've ever seen, no cheapo 3 for 1€'s from ebay even compare.

Best combination of protection, slimness, and grip but is easy to slide in and out of a pocket.

I like my otterbox armor series.

Out of all the 20-30 cases I had Lol, the body glove shock suit fit the glove well and still does. No other case will be needed. Am now trying to sell the leftovers Lol.

Yes! This!!! I have the exact same case its amazing! Like nothing can destroy this phone with this case!

I used a SGP Neo Hybrid since more than one year but a few month ago the polycarbonat frame is broken so I buy this one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Book-Wallet...-Samsung-Galaxy-S3-III-GT-i9300-/271210987593
And I'm total happy with this Case since 2 month!

After trying about 10 cases of varying materials , shapes and sizes I chose the fake Neo Hybrid case since the origional doesn't seem to be available anymore. Build quality is quite good for under 10 bucks and if it breaks itll be cheap to buy another.

UAG is the best!! Very good quality and build. Using it with a 0,4 mm glass screen protector. Beats the plastic ones by a 1000 miles.

+1 on the bodyglove shocksuit!! The shizz.

Spigen neo hybrid now, had an Otterbox commuter for the last year. Like them both but I prefer the Spigen

Got to agree body glove is the best. Good price and doesn't make the phone to big and bulky.

Oh my god yes. the UAG case is really nice. The one thing I do dislike is that the lettering on the back came off within the first week of having it. Still recommend for durability. Btw those who want the case, Slate is a lot closer to the natural GS3 blue than you think!

most of the fake UAG case sell cheap and have letters failling off or just painted on it not mentioning the quality is not the same at all.
im not saying you brought fake one but just sharing some experiences.
also my fav case is indeed a UAG one (Scout/black) i got it from Ebay for 24$ port inclusive from a Belgian seller, i did some investigation because even if its only 10 bucks less than the official store its still suspicious, i did sent some detailed pics of the case and box info/bar code and according to the customer service : it's a original one, nonetheless i spared 10$ on it but i didnt got custom taxes.

Wow, I didn't know they sold many knockoffs. Mine was direct from Amazon through UAG. I think I just have oily skin which made it easier to reduce the sticky solution for the lettering. Thanks for letting me know of that! I might get another just to have more color selection

Otterbox Armour is a close second, but the lifeproof is more practical for everyday use, as it's more pocketable and wireless charging works through it.

exactly what make a UAG better than a Otterbox, Otter are nice but too bulky.
funny experience: i had 2 S3 dropped from my balcony (around 3meter)1 from a friend with a Otterbox defender and mine with the UAG without screen protector both hit the concrete on the lower edge (where the soft bumper is) result : mine nothing the other had a little (very small) crack on the bottom of the screen xD
sorry for the blurry quality xD

That life proof looks really solid but still just a bit too bulky for me. I might get something a bit thicker than my UAG, but first I need a proper full screen protector. I've gone through like 5 because they are dammed hard to apply.

Case contemplation

I have had my thunderbolt for about a month now and it is naked. I dont know if i should wait for an otterbox or a ballistic case or just buy something like the active x
as long as you're careful, I say leave it naked!
My recommendation is, if you don't know what you want, then go cheap for now until you do know. The S-Line can be had for just a few bucks ($3-7) on eBay (and some other web-based stores sell it too, I believe) and is an good case. Not amazing, but good to excellent. It will last you until you know what you want, and may be what you want.
I just got my active x case today in the mail. I was tired of waiting for Otterbox to release its case. I'm extremely happy with the case.
i went cheap, cases aren't the quality i like and well... they suck.
i like my case-mate pop case, shinny back gets stratched but i can live with it. the rubber deteriorating that users complained about is more like tiny eraser shavings on mine from the friction going in and out of my pocket, but it comes and goes. i'm still closely examining it. its a GREAT case, kind of thick, but lots of protection.
i might get the case-mate barely there case since i'm very careful with my phone.
another suggestion is the HTC (OEM) TPU case, I like QUALITY TPU cases because they're thin and the material is great.
+1 for the case mate pop, got mine 20% off (use google to search for coupons, 2 minutes saved me $8 lol), standard shipping, case ordered friday morning and delivered via first class mail monday afternoon. I like the fit, I like the protection, and I honestly think the white case is bad ass (makes my phone look like a storm trooper IMO). Otterbox has no plans of releasing a commuter case based on my communications with them and the defender is just overkill for my needs.
wouldnt waste my money on the pop case. im on my second one and it already jacked up.

99% of the people Ive seen have problems with them. I wouldnt take my chances.
On Ebay I found an Otterbox knock off for thirteen dollars with no shipping cost. Had the built in screen protector and all which I promptly removed because it sucked. Came with a hard snap on shell and a rubber case to put around that. It doesn't look to bad at all and was a lot cheaper than Otterbox.

The Seidio Surface case fits very well, doesn't add much bulk to the phone, and probably comes in any color you're likely to want. Seem to be available at a variety of prices, so pretty good deals to be had.

i am looking for a case that would protect if it was dropped and bumped around
After purchasing a soft case at the Verizon store where I bought my TB, I chucked it a few days later after it fell off a bunch of times. I ended up buying the Seidio Innocase II Surface Case on ebay. Best case imho.
It fits well and seems pretty sturdy. I know it's a pricey case, but I'm looking at the long-term in not having to buy a bunch of "cheaper" cases down the road when one will suffice.

The active-x from seidio worked for me. I've dropped it from about 3-4 feet with no ill effects. Doesn't add to much bulk, but is a little pricier than some cases. Use disc2011 for 10% off.

Acase Superleggera Pro case review

So like many others who have been waiting for their GS3 to be delivered to their front door steps here in the USA, I've been buying cases so I'd be ready to go from the start. My plan is buy a variety of cheap cases and bumpers to see how they feel in my wee bitty hands. So here is my review of a case worth reviewing. I haven't seen anyone mention this case so I apologize if I'm duplicating something that's already been said.
I picked up this case on Amazon for a little over $12 after shipping costs. It appeared to be marked down from $30 without shipping so I figured It was a steal. So far, I was right. It's size is very slim for a duel layer case. While it does make the phone bigger, it's not too big for my girl hands. It actually makes the phone feel a little better and comfortable in the hand.
The texture of both layers have a nice grip and feel. The matte black hard shell has a soft feel that blends well with the feel of the silicone core.
So far the hardshell has been smudge resistant and I have a good feeling scratch resistant but only time and use will tell on that part. The silicone core appear to be lint resistant, if that's even possible, compared to my Seidio Active case on my Rezound (great case by the way) that collected light to moderate pocket lint.
The case also provides a nice lip around the screen to protect it. The best part of the lip is that it doesn't get in the way of using the phone. It occupies just the right amount of real estate.
Buttons work like the real buttons. No issues with them working properly or having to apply extra pressure.
Summary: I love this case. It's solid, feels great, and was purchased at a great price.

Anyone else using this case?
I want to know other users opinion about this case compared to the following cases:
1. Otterbox commuter
2. Incipio Silicrylic
3. Casemate Tough case
Ha! The thread lives! I can't believe more people aren't using this case or at least interested in the case. It's great and almost tripled in price since I first got it. Still cheap enough to equal a valuable purchase.
Currently not being productive on my S3.
I checked this on Amazon. All the ratings are either 4 star or 5 star. And there are 44 of them.
Does this means it is the best case for S3 or are they asking the buyers to give good ratings(I have heard some companies do so) ?

Few questions?
How is the back of the hard shell? is it very smooth so that it may slip away from your hand or table?
Also do you know whether it is of the same size and weight of Case mate Tough case?
I had one for my 3d, very nice case. The only reason I got rid of it was the need for a belt holster, but other than that it protected the phone very well and the rubber material did not stretch out or get flimsy.

It's smooth but I wouldn't say slippery. I've been very comfortable holding it without fear of dropping it.
I'm not familiar with the Casemate Tough but I do like it better than my Casemate Pop. The Pop! Case is very slick other than the grips on the side and it feels wider then the Acase.

Do you use a screen protector with your case? A lot of screen protectors that go all the way to the edge of the screen are having problems with a lot of cases. I am using a Zagg HD, and I wanted to know if this case would cause it to bubble up.
Just wanted to add my two cents. Got the case very fast from Amazon. Was worried it wouldn't come but then it was delivered even before my shipping confirmation.
Anyways on to the case. Very good feel too it, not as bulky as i was expecting but still feels secure. Been using it regularly since i got it. Fits well in the pocket and doesn't attract too much lint so far. For the price, highly recommend it

Hey I have the case and yeah you would have to use a screen protector that doesnt go to the edges I had a regular screen protector and the bottom would bubble up because of the case.
I bought this case when it was $6.05 on Amazon and I would pay the current price for it because it is worth it. This is a really good case. I just wish they had made it a holster case.
got my black one this morning and I have to say that it feels great in the hand and fits perfectly.
I previously had the trident aegis and Neo hybrid but hated both of them. this is so much better and half the price. I have the seidio active too which is great to watch things using the kickstand but as an everyday case this blitzes it!
thanks for answering my questions about this in another thread.

Meh why is it so hard choosing a case..

Is it just me or do you guys also spend AGES looking at case after case?
Basically i dropped my phone S3 on Sunday and cracked the screen, today i got it repaired so i now want a case/cover that protects over the edge front of the phone. But i don't to add massive bulk or for it to look too ugly.
Im thinking of getting the Otterbox commuter or the Ballistic lifestyle smooth, which one you guys think would better suit? or is there an alternate case better?
I know its been asked loads so apologies in advance.
Your not the only one. I'm a flashoholic and a caseoholic lol and very very picky with both.
My favorite sk far is the Incipio NGP. I love it. The lip should be plenty to protect from most drops and it adds very little bulk and gives the phone a really high quality feel. The right balance between slippery for pockets and grip for when your holding it.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
My vote goes to the Incipio NGP as well. It is less thick than the GS2 version, but this reduced thickness (0.7mm) makes the phone quite a bit thinner compared to the S2 situation. Feels slick and slides easily out of pockets. Overall one of the best simple TPU cases around, although it is not exactly cheap for just a TPU case.
Naked is best

not due my upgrade yet, still on s2 but been searching for ages for a case to suit my needs when my s3 comes.
the best I think for me so far is the Acase Superlegerra Pro. looks like exactly what I need.
Hard to choose, right? The Paradox of Choice.
I actually bought too many cases (again) because I couldn't decide. Got various TPU cases from ebay, and Cruzerlite, and the popular hard polycarb Rock case, but finally settled on a so-called hybrid case: the Incipio Silicrylic dualpro, as it provides the best protection, grip, and looks, without adding too much bulk.
(Looking forward to Incipio's future cases for the Nexus 7 too)
I was also in search for a case for more than two weeks. At last I settled for Acase Superlegerra Pro. Lot got good reviews and value for money.
Also providing the same level of protection of a Otterbox commuter.
I have looked at reviews and posts (thanks the_Biz) to finally purchase the Case Mate Tough which is presently being delivered by Amazon. My next step is to select a protective screen which I have not decided but it may be the Ultra Crystal for its 4H hardness and compatibility with all cases. Now I am searching for a couple holsters the horizontal and vertical possibly the Reiko and Active holster respectively but I need to review further for quality and compatibility. When all the above is completed I will order the phone and should not worry about cracking the screen like you had experienced
I got the trident ageis and it works pretty well. I always keep my phone in a case but what did I do I took it out to put on a new screen protector and it slipped out of my hand and landed face down. Luckily there was no damage and I put it right back in!

Living in the UK, the main issue I am finding is that you guys in the US get the best cases!!
Yeah I hear ya, but for the moment I'm going with the otterbox commuter case since I have had good experiences with them
Later on next month I'm a customized case mate
I have 5 cases already. The Neo Hybrid in Infinity White, the silver SGP Ultra Thin, the Glacier Otterbox Commuter, a white/ red silicon/hard case from eBay, and a clear case that I got with the phone. And I'm always on the hunt for a good looking case lol

Verizon threw in a free case when I upgraded to the S3 which is brilliant because it covers their logo
Slim I'd say reearth slim takes it over case mate barely there. I have both.
I think the seidio active is awesome although for all the case conversations on xda I never see people talk about it for this phone. Definitely better than the spigen lumi for hybrid cases. Again I have both.
And u can get a kickstand on the active if that's how u roll. I did..
Those are the four have bought so far. Problem? Prob..

I have a Fosmon PC+TPU case and an Otterbox defender. I use my phone all day every day for work and switch my batteries out so I use the Fosmon for everyday work use. It comes off easily and protects the phone from everyday use and is cheap as hell. The clear back is flexible and the grips on the side even more so and hold well so far. You can see through the back if you have white you can see the Samsung S3 logo. The Otterbox is when I finally get the hell out of my house, and it does the job but is a pain in the ass to change batteries compared to the Fosmon. There are plenty of reviews of the Defender so you dont need to hear my 2 cents. I opted to spend more on a beefy case with cheap one for every day, it suites what I need very well and if the Fosmon ats $5.88 lasts 6 months I'll be happy.

Body Glove "Defender-like" case!!!

So I'm browsing through the electronics section at Wal-Mart looking for a wireless mouse and I happen to stumble upon a new case for our phone. At first I'm thinking, "Oh, so now we have an Otterbox Defender!" Then I look at the box and it's a Body Glove!
I looked online for this case, but cannot even find it on the Body Glove website. I took a few pictures of it. It looks pretty good. It's a little bulky, but not too much. Very sturdy. The case is three parts - two for the inner hard plastic and one for the outer rubber-like shell. It's much easier to install than the Otterbox cases, but really feels just as protective - for less as well (paid less than $40). I said "Defender-like", so yes it comes with a holster - and it's almost identical to the Defender holsters.
Have any of you guys seen this case in any local stores? It feels like a pretty good one.
I haven't seen one in stores yet...because i have not been looking for one. I will see if i can find it...

Apparently this is very new. Military tested specs, and it feels and looks much better than the Otterbox. I'm using a Thunderbolt for work with the Otterbox Defender. They look similar from a distance, but the look and feel in your hands is not even close. They also had one for the GS3. After several days of use, this has to be the best looking, best feeling, sleekest (relatively speaking, of course) heavy duty shock resistant case I've owned (and I've owned quite a few over the years).

Got this today and just luving it. Had the Body Glove Diamond white case before and it was a good quality but the Tough Suit case is perfect. Not too thick, built like a tank, this is the new batmobile from Christian Bale's Batman Trilogy if the other thin and slick cases are the stealthy slick batmobiles from the past xD
How are the buttons? Are they nice and tactile or stiff and mushy? That's what's bugging me about the D30 Impact case. The buttons are way too stiff and mushy (and before someone says I should hit the gym, I'm no chump. I can press them just fine, it's just annoying).
Just ordered one of these http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-OEM-Whi...727&pid=100015&prg=1006&rk=1&sd=290717667572& I think I'll review it once I get it.

I'm using this case as well and it fits perfectly and adds the exact amount of weight and size to it. Only thing was I got ripped off haha I think I paid 20 something for it and saw it on amazon for less than half of that. But I needed a case asap.

My co-worker has one of these on his black T989, he's happy with it, however I don't believe he's ever really dropped it so no drop-test experience with it. Oh, and those cases were also being sold at the T-Mobile store, for $29.95 label, no discount for clearing stock.

they look pretty beefy compared to mine and when i dropped mine it was fine the only thing that looks off in the pictures is that it doesnt look completely snug.

say whaaaaat?! hahaha! I didnt even notice :silly:
Got my Body Glove Diamond case a week ago and reviewed it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2004609
I also bought the black body glove case at Walmart and after 24 hours I'm loving it. The only gripe I had was the built in screen protector. I have zagg so I took a razor knife and cut it out. Couldn't ask for a better case.
I want one of these cases, but I can't find it anywhere.
Love my seidio active case and holster. Better than my old phones otterbox!
Just saying!

Speck candyshell vs. Urban armour gear

Debating between these two cases. anyone have/ had both and and prefer one over the other?
stock. sprint sgs3
Edit.. ive read the reviews and all the threads. Just looking for dirrect comparison off the two
I have the candy shell and oh man do i love this case. Makes it feel solid and really good in your hands. I highly recommend it but i have not tried the other case. Im not afraid to drop it and when i have it has help up great!
Thanks

Never had candyshell but the new versions of the uag are nice! Im really liking the new tpu material they are using.

I'm also looking at both of these too but I have to buy them over from the US seeing as no stores here stocking them
I owned the Candyshell and it was a good case overall. Solid, but more importantly for me was the awesome tactility the buttons had.
One problem was the black version of the Candyshell looked like crap after about a month, and that is no exaggeration. It scratched up REALLY easy...
Bugger and I wanted a black one too
I was waitting for Element to make a decent case out of those awesome materials they use but then they released a case out of TPU and I've waited far too long.
Looks like UAG it is
Did you consider the following alternative?
acase supperlegera pro dual layer case
Looks good, feel great and protects very nice. It's the one I have. Please read some reviews.
If it is between those two, I'd pick the puregear dualtek. It's 1 piece and very solid, and the white version doesn't get dirty like some white cases I've used.
i have both and the Speck crack on me for the 1st time taking it out the phone to switch to the UAG case, what a waste of money
Let me say this my uag has protected my phone from multiple drops from various heights and has handled my 270 pound friend trampling over it lol I recommend uag all day to people with gs3.

+1. Best. Case. PERIOD.
UAG is the best case I've ever owned in terms of durability to size. I've had cases that offer better protection but that extra protection came at the cost of greatly increased thickness.

Got rid of the Candyshell within 2 months, got the SGP bumper, it looks sexy but something about the buttons... after 2 months, i'm moving on to the UAG. If this doesn't satisfy my for awhile, i'll try out the Duratek.
Here is both of them, i would go with the UAG the Speck crack on me a hour later after i bought, while taking the phone out the case

That's the color of the UAG I just bought! I'm excited for it to get here!
As for the Speck, it was a known issue with the white ones. A couple of bad batches... if you would have contacted customer support, they would have replaced it for free.

Let me email then and see what type of reply i get but I can safely say the UAG case is the best case out so far the Galaxy S3, that case can take the beating while keeping the phone slim and
protected :good:
Its crazy that i just got my UAG case a week ago after reading reviews online but i never thought about looking here. To the OP....you make a good choice with the UAG. Hope you love yours as much as I love mine.

Like a couple of others above me, I have both the Candyshell and UAG cases (2 of the UAG, actually...black and slate blue). I loved the Candyshell and used it for about a month before it just started looking awful (I knew this would happen, though, since I'd had them on my iPhones in the past). Plus, I started getting cracks around the volume rocker and power buttons.
I decided to move to the UAG based on the glowing reviews here. I can say, without hesitation, that the UAG is the best case I've ever had on any phone, period. It will take a beating and still come out looking great and it strikes the perfect balance between protection, looks, and bulk (or lack thereof).
I can't recommend it enough. You won't be disappointed if you get one.
Love my slate blue UAG case.
