Hey Guys I'm getting a Galaxy Note (White) and I want a good Case that has the following:
-Slim, with little bulk
-White Preferably but can be different
-Raises screen from flat surface
-Covers Buttons Preferably but doesn't have to
-All around good protection and can take a fall!
If anyone has a case or knows of a case like that please feel free to leave a comment!
Thanks for the Help!
I have the SGP Ultra Capsule White case love it so far no complaints
I have the.ringke slim. probably the slimmest around. Took a lot of droppings. Still great.

I have that case and absolutely love it. It's not too thick 3mm? I have no idea. But the tpu sides make it easy to grip and the frosted plastic back gives it a nice look imo. Cut outs are PERFECT too. pressing the side buttons can be a little hard sometimes though, but I usually use the home button to wake the phone.
I have been using a Rearth Ringke Slim since day one and I love it, especially since it has plugs for the charging port and the headphone jack. The screen protector they include is pretty good as well. It's a bit on the expensive side but I think it's worth it. The bottom lip was a millimeter or two off and they sent me another one. I think the white on white looks beautiful.

You should take a look at the Seidio Active Cases. Exceptional quality.

Look for them on eBay if you intend to buy it. It's a lot cheaper there.

I can also second the SGP Ultra Capsule White. It does all that you ask for. The build quality is fantastic where the cut-outs for ports are near perfect. Bright white colour with a slightly glossy look.
Aslo, for the ~£18 you also get a very good screen protector.

Can anyone with an SGP confirm or deny?
If you like your case, please also tell us how long you've had it and the condition it is in today.
i'm also looking for this kind of case, can someone confirm whether the SGP Ultra capsule white is a finger print magnet due to its glossy surface?
I have the Boxwave White TPU with Frosted back case mentioned earlier. It's a nice case but a little thick. The back is pretty touch and is thick enough so that the camera glass is protected.
My biggest complaint is that it picked up blue stains from a pair of new jeans. Took a couple of weeks for the blue to disappear from the case. After about 3 months, the tpu sides are starting to have a very slight yellowish color to them. Tried scrubbing it with Comet Cleaner but did not help.
I also agree that the volume and power buttons can be a little difficult to push and the volume buttons kind of creak, its the TPU rubbing against the the button.
It's not my favorite case I've owned but I'm also not in a hurry to replace it.

Thanks for the feedback! After posting this a lot of people say White Cases turn yellow or start to stain... So I think I am going to go with a Capdase Alumor Metal case instead! Thanks!! you just saved me from a crappy purchase!

+ 1 excellent case.
I have this one in white.
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Samsung-Gala...t=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item7915e57204
It's got a great fit-n-finish to it. Provides clean access to all the ports, and has a good level of protection.
I've got the Krussell ColorCover in white (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Krusell-ColorCover-Samsung-Galaxy-89631/dp/B0072CM2MS), as I ordered a white Note, but got delivered a black one instead, so this is unused.
I know it doesnt tick all your boxes, but it is a nice case and feels very nice in the hand. You can have it for a fiver if you want. PM me if interested.

I am looking for a new case and am trying to find a tpu case that also covers the volume rocker and power button. Its a pet peeve of mine i hate those being exposed on cases but haven't found any on ebay or amazon. I have an otterbox case now but wanna go thinner. Thanks in advance.

Try the Cruzerlite cases. They cover the volume rocker and power button.
try the new casemate pop with the right cut outs adds a little bulk but less then the otterbox but gives great protection
I've seen many cheap and nasty one that covers all the buttons.
Try ebay.

This confused me as well and after searching and realizing they don't exist I still went with cruiser lite. Should be in soon seems solid I hope the exposure doesn't bug me too much.
I have a cruzer lite case that I got with the bag o' cases and one of them covers everything. But I think is only for the gsm GNex it barely won't fit my vzw GNex.

I bought an sgp ultra capsule and it covers everything I'm in the same boat as you I wanted tpu but hate uncovered buttons. Its a good case uber thin and the buttons feel great.

Revision 2 of the Diztronic TPU cases didn't have a volume cut out. They've been selling Rev 3 for a while now but if you emailed them asking to buy a Rev 2 case they would probably sell you one (or maybe even send you one for free). They had great customer service when I had to contact them.
I just bought the SGP Ultra Capsule case. It's TPU and it covers volume and power buttons but it also covers the 3 pin dock connector if that's a problem with you. It's very good quality and shows the contour and shape of the actual phone.

I recommend Nillkin TPU cases. It covers all the buttons and they're really high quality. $10-$12 on eBay.

I never understood why they preffer to leave the 3 pin dock connector uncovered. I don't even know what that's for... I never saw a dock for it, lol.

@OP
I have a TPU case that covers the volume rocker and the power button. It has cut outs for the 3 pin dock connector, the microUSB port, the primary AND secondary microphone, and 3.5mm jack. It's mostly known as S-LINE, but lately I found it as being made by CUBZ (or at least so it was advertised). It has kind of an S line on the back. The side edges are also rubbery which makes it feel good in the hand, and less prone to accidental drops.
I had this kind of case on my previous HTC EVO 3D, and it was awesome. It fitted better than the MOMAX (because the MOMAX one didn't have a cut out for the camera button, hence making that pretty much useless, + weakened the right side).
I also had this model on my Galaxy S2, and given the construction and shape of that phone, it was freaking awesome! Barely could take it off!!!!!
I had a black one on my Galaxy Nexus, but it was... I dunno if Google translated this right... sprawling? Mostly due to the way it was stored - the sides were somewhat off...
I have a white one now, which is pretty much rigid. In one month, it got off-white, haha. Yellows, grays, blues... it's still white, but not really white, if you know what I mean.
Anyway, I'm gonna buy a new one, BLACK, and try to find one that hasn't been stored under a rock or something .
These S-Line cases seem to be the best, if you ask me. And for that price... I mean... you can't ask for more, really. I even saw them on eBay (for other phones, not necessarily this model), for some pretty darn good prices.
-----
Otherwise, if you have money to spend, buy a Otterbox Commuter. That's the best case ever, if you ask me. It's not THAT hefty, but it's very well built, and rigid, too.
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.

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.

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 really like the Otterbox Defender cases... They have protected my phone through mosh pits, Occupy Wall Street, bike polo, street longboarding, and just general junk I've put it though. They also have a lifetime replacement deal although I've never used it. I've used them with my Droid X, Droid X2, and my SGIII. Highly recommended.
I love my UAG it works great to protect my SGS3 and also works good with my ZAGG HD installed.

- I still plan on getting one of the UAG cases.
- If the problem with the buttons is STIFFNESS...I like that. I hardly ever use the power button and that's less chance of the S3 waking up in my pocket.
- the button(s) will loosen up over time or you can mod it.
- lowest profile sized case for the perceived high degree of protection

not necessary with the modification that can be done to it. Its not real stiff, you just have to get use to it, after usage it should break in and respond alot better.
You don't actually cut out the lock button on the UAG case. You cut down the long sides of it. It doesn't affect how the button looks, it only makes it easier to press.

After trying on a couple of cases I have to agree UAG is the best case for the S3. It's a combination of looks and protection without having to make the phone look like an ugly thick brick like the other "protective" cases.
Hello,
With this topic i would like to ask out of these 2 populair cases wich one is best in your honest opinion?
In my opinion i think so far the UAG is alot more nice and maybe a bit less thick,
But maybe the Commutor is alot more Durable and better against drops? But also a bit uglyer than the UAG.
I am still struggling just due i think it has to be good against drops, Due thats whats a case is for obviously.
I hope you can help me out of this and probably other users aswell since i doubt i am the only one ^^
Best regards,
DrLuigi
Or of course if you have another case wich isnt above 35-40 dollar please say so ^^
But i think these two are the best around for this price tag.
I tried out the commuter at a bestbuy and while the case feels nice. the buttons are insanely hard to press. You have to really press it really hard and you don't get feedback so you don't know if you pressed it or not until the screen reacts.
Other members here have said that it eases up over time but not that much.
I personally have the ballistic sg and it seems to be the nicest for me. (not the maxx, just the sg)

Yeah,
Heard the same thing about buttons, But not becoming lose at all, is what i heard,
Also it just doesnt seem nice anyhow, But its very strong i have heard against drops.
Also i have to say that case seems nice,
But i do think Urban one does look nicer,
But idk about being good against drops or anything.
Trident Case has a few rugged options and I heard they are coming out with a charging case too. They range from $35-$50 but they are having a sale, 25% off everything.
I have the commuter. Highly recommend it for protection. It has saved my phone from so many drops.I think some people exaggerate on how hard the buttons are to press. Yes you have to press them a little harder but not much. I just ordered a Uag case since i heard so many great things about them. Either way I don't you can go wrong with either case.

Just so you could tell us maybe how you think it is?
For example so you could tell us wich one you would prefer as first case?
Due the chance is pretty high i get both aswell (Well or something else ofc like a Power Charge case) , but the second will be for over like 3-4 months so ye
Thanks for the help everyone ^^
For Otterbox commuter and Ballistic SG case, please have a look to my thread as I had deeply compare both. For UAG, there is a thread with more 200k view about the case. It's base on your personal preference. If you want your phone to be protected well (with dust cover), then get a Otterbox Commuter(Dont worry about the button, it will getting better after few weeks of use). If you want a unique looking, protective and less bulky case, then get a UAG case. Currently, commuter is much more cheaper than the UAG. I owned 3 of these ultimate protective case, I guarantee that you wont regret if you get either one. But personally, I recommended UAG..^^

Hai,
Thanks for the explaination,
Did not know there were such topics already there sry ^^
But i also just wanted to know wich one would be better when talking about Quality/Drop/being pretty.
Anyhow ^^
If anyone knows also a pretty cool case please repley ^^
I probably think to buy UAG first, Afterwards perhaps a Otterbox for when i do other stuff that it would be more common it to fall etc etc.
Best regards,
DrLuigi.
Btw how thick is that UAG case?
Since it seems on picture pretty reasonable thin,
But wanted to ask ye first ^^
Also is the back panel plastic smooth or grippy or?
Thanks ^^
I have the aviator UAG. Color isn't great, Gunna get the blue one instead sooner or later. As far as everything goes, great protection, solid feel, all around good quality. Little slippery on the back tho.

So I just got my UAG case and I love it. It does feel a little slimmer than the commuter. I feel as if it is a bit less protection from the otterbox, but it feels so much better in the hands. I saw a drop test on youtube with this case and seems pretty good.
Sent from Flip's S3
I have both and I always find myself going back to my UAG. It fits better in my opinion and has a much thinner profile. The small raised areas on the back corners help it from sliding around when its on its backside on a flat surface. The otterbox on the other hand is slicker they the naked phone itself. The UAG also comes in and out of pocket easier. Lol my advice is extremely one sided, but its some food for thought.
Sent from inside the RootBox.
I personally am a otterbox fan I currently have the following otterbox cases for the s3
-gun metal grey / white defender
-orange / black / realtree camo defender
-red / black defender
-white / gunmetal commuter
-purple / pink commuter
I switch these cases out like switchimg out my underwear
YES THE COMMUTER CASE at first is hard to press the buttoms but the more you use it the better and easier it becomes
I also love otterbox customer service always friendly and have no problem exchanging out your case for you or trying to work out something
Ok so I think I got a defective UAG case. The power button on the case gets stuck when I push a little too hard which sends my phone in a bunch of bootloops. Contacted the seller and hopefully I get a replacement

With the case off press the button outward from the inside, slip the phone in and press the power button again, thats to line up where it should be. Thats how i use to do mine then it worked great after

Thanks that actually seems to fix it. Also, I thought I had read that this case was really hard to take off. But I take mine off easily. It doesn't feel lose or anything.

Welcome. Yeah if it feels funny just keep messing with it till it lines up perfectly.

After reading reviews and seeing how my wife's iPhone otterbox has held up (she's on her third replacement), I bought an uag yesterday. They look very rugged, kinda like a toolbox.
