Anyone have or have used the Tough Case after the revision by casemate? I want this case for my phone but haven't seen any reviews on the updated version. Also can anyone confirm that it can be used with the GSM extended battery (2000 mah)? Thanks.

I've got mine 4 days ago... What can I say:
Fantastic material, good build quality and nice touch. It really looks good on phone and give nice feeling while I am holding the phone. Yes, it gets little "bulky" (can't easily put phone into the pocket and take it out....) but, I am pretty sure that the phone is protected very well now and that's most important It gives nice grip and no chance of accidentally drop down...
Issues:
There was a little issue with power button that doesn't fit nice and it needs few hours/day to "settle in" but now it's okay... No similar problems with volume buttons. Actually now I don't need to put "force" on power button, just nice soft touch and it works.
Also, when I type something in landscape position the lower keys on keyboard are little hard to press quickly because the rubber is almost 2-2.5mm higher than display surface... But it's really not a issue that serious.
No problems with any other holes on case, camera/flash works well, speaker also... usb and headphone jack can be used normally..
I'm really pleased with case
I can take some pictures if u want 'cause it looks little different on phone than on web...
Any other questions?
p.s If u decide to buy it, go on amazon/ebay to save almost half of the case mate.com price
I would love some pics... Thanks again.

As listed elsewhere, the revision opened up the USB port area and added a hole for the back mic.
I'm using the the white one now. It's not too bulky, and the buttons are easy to operate.
Also have one. The revision consists of more accurate cut outs & a mic cutout on the top of the battery door. This is by far my favorite case out of the 10 that I picked up. Very high quality material, great grip & durability. Top notch protection.

I think that's the revision for the POP case. Since you are referring to the white one and the tough case doesn't come in white.

I misread "Tough" as "Pop". Whoops. Looks like they fixed the cutout at the bottom on this too.
Does anyone know if it fits with the 2000 mah battery?

How bad does it attract lint?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
I got mine last week. No issues with lint, although I am not sure I understand how lint could stick to it. the outside shell is a hard plastic, with an inner rubber shell.
The one thing that I am not happy about is the ox screen protector is being rubbed by the case, causing bubbles; but that is more an issue with the protector & not the case.
Oh I thought the silicone was over the hard plastic!
Nope. cusion is on the inside, with the protective shell covering it.
Heres a few pics of the casemate case for the s3. I had to go to an at&t store because bestbuy had no accessories (prolly be here on 28th right lol) and i didnt like the sprint ones. And it has a VISOR AG screen protector on it. If your like me and had no clue what these were basically its a screen protector that covers the whole front of the phone not just the screen its self. Its clear for the screen and if you notice its clear not cut out for the back and menu buttons. Then the outer layer is white or blue depending on what color you have. Also this screen protector is fingerprint and bubble free. Normally im an otterbox defender or ballistic HC guy but i gotta admit im liking this

I just ran up to the att store and bought the same setup you did. The grip on the side was most important and it is outstanding. The visor screen cover is excellent as well because there is little to no touch loss. In addition its washable and replaceable. My phone was blue and they only had the white visor, so now it appears white with the white case.
Cons: the stand is very flimsy, but I don't care I never use it.
Loving it, thanks for the heads up.

Lol thats a good way to make the phone look white if you got blue and didnt want it.....i just sold a blue one that i got my gf on craigslist...man i had my white one and the blue one side by side the othrr night couldnt decide which one i wanted to keep

I like the blue a whole lot...but I like the phone even better; they only had white. I am loving the case more and more; it is really grippy. When held up to the ear it feels fantastic in your hand (that's what she said)? Just a great case.

Is the headphone port really recessed? I used headphones with an angled connector.
It's an awesome case. I'm glad I got it as well!
It's rubbery where it needs to be, and hard case where it needs to be.
I was also going to pass on it, but the case was so good, I overlooked it.

I've got the same case, direct from Case-mate (Used code 'tough' for 20% off, not sure if it's still active FYI).
I love the case, with one exception.... that kickstand is damn flimsy and unless you're on a PERFECT level surface, forget about Portrait mode. (And yes the website says it's good for portrait or laandscape).
I've emailed Case-Mate to see if they are aware of the kickstand issues and are planning to do anything about them (like retool to a metal like Seidio)....
I need to find a Seidio one local so I can see it in action to determine which I'll keep for the long haul. This one feels real nice in the hand though.
Still waiting on my screen protectors in the mail.. bought like 3 different brands (2 cheapie and 1 seidio), figure i'll try something new

Good :
- Rubber grips on the side
- Buttons click well
- Kickstand
- Feels sturdy overall
- Headphone jack area accommodates even the largest jacks.
Bad :
- Kickstand feels flimsy
- Rubber on back peels and stains the back of the case (will wipe off though)
- Back is raised so it doesn't rest on the rubber grips. It'll spin in place.
- Headphone port area cracked a little (tiny) when trying to remove phone from case. In other words, not enough plastic.
Advice: Buy but only in white (Which I have). It scratches easily like Speck cases. You won't see scratches on the white but I guarantee you'll see them all over the black one within 5 minutes of putting it on.

I wonder how this will work or if it even will work with a glass screen protector?
First off its called the ivisor. I have had this same setup for over a month now. I got tired of the sp yes it looks good but go out in the sunlight and try to use your phone its impossible to see.

I've used AG iVisor for a few phones now and they have always been outstanding. I presently have one on a SGS 2, Nokia Lumia 900 and my SGS3.
So I seem to have issue with the SGS3s iVisor. While the iVisor fits well, when I put a case on, it pushes the sides of the iVisor up and away from the screen, simply pushing it off the face of the phone. I have tried 3 different cases (non of which are the same as mentioned in the OP), that being said, the case should not matter...
Has anyone else encountered a similar problem?
I attribute it to the (almost zero edge) construction of the phone. This problem has not occurred on either of the other devices mentioned.
Yes the case does make a diffence some just push up the ivisor I have this problem with many of cases on reason I don't recommended this product.

I wonder if this case works well with the iVisor iGlaze for GALAXY SIII
It will work but. I'm going to get the glas t sp that just came out and retire the ivisor I'm over the anti glare.

I have pretty much the same one. Mine just says "JKase." It's a good case. Looks cool, adds good grip, and it's more like soft plastic than silicon. Doesn't add a ton of protection, but it keeps the back safe from basic stuff. I'd recommend it. Better than carrying an OtterBox brick around.
I have an unnamed 1. Fits perfectly. Easy access to everything. Makes the volume & power buttons easier to press but less tactile. Can still be used with a Kidigi docking station without having to remove the case. Also stops the phone from slipping when propping it up on shiny surfaces.

I know what you mean. I've only had mine for 2 weeks, and it's turning yellow.
i'm using a tpu hybrid case, sides of the case are tpu and the back of the case is a hard plastic, overall it's pretty good. But because the back is solid plastic it slides around on a hard surface.

These are the same as the one I ordered on ebay. Mine was a smokey grey color, with access to all buttons and the LED notification light was bright enough to shine through the gel case with ease.
Highly recommended style of case for the HOV ^_^
I have a purple JKase and it adds grip and has protected my phone quite well from a number of falls.
I also purchased a much bigger case with a kick-stand and this one however has an even better grip (probably because it doubles the phone's thickness and adds significantly to all its other dimensions.

I have been using this case for a day now and I'm impressed. The fitment is perfect and I love the color combo. The buttons for volume and power work great, they are really easy to press and are responsive. The cut outs for speakers, USB and headphone are perfect. The case is a little more white than the phone and has a mat finish similar to the white Nexus. I will let the photos do the speaking. Sorry for all the lint of the phone.

Actually all those complaints are directed towards the Ultra Hybrid model not this Slim Armor model. That one has a clear back and slightly heavier then this slim armor.
There's also the Ultra Fit and Neo Hybrid which I'd love to see in action as well.
Just ordered this! My phone should be here before this is, but thanks for the review. I had used a Incipio case with my Galaxy S3 and that was also a dual case, the soft part and hard backing. This however seems to be a lot better. Thanks for the pictures. :good:
Great pictures, thanks for that.
I'm interested to know if the Black version of this case is glossy or matt, from the CGI mock-ups on the SPG website it seems matt, but I'm not sure.
That looks great.
My black one should be here tomorrow. Hoping its a matt finish. Will let you know.
Nearly went for White but I was worried it'd stain easily.

I don't really see how this one could. It's also relatively stiff. I've had commuters for a few phones and never had a problem. Any that have stretched in the past from different companies I've had replaced at no charge

Man...I was drooling over the black/black SlimArmor a few days ago, but that white looks awesome. I think you may have just converted me to the "light side" Thanks for the pictures!
Yeah, I have the black Slim Armor. It's awesome. I did too have the problem initially with the power button being stuck, but I took the case off a few times and put it back on. Now it's perfect. To be fair, tho, only a slight tap is necessary to hit any of the buttons...they really are that easy to push and activate.

Hi. If you have case even leather with do cover you can use the app hovering controls. It does not work smoothly but simulates what the shell is supposed to do.
A bit annoying is that many times of you keep your hand hovering it will lock your phone disturbing what you are doing.

I'll jump in here and say that I've had several Ringke cases and they've all been great. They are one of my favorite case manufacturers, and they're fairly inexpensive.
Edit: just ordered a clear case as well. I was going to get black, but decided I want either the red or blue shell, so the clear case will show it off.
Yes I think they has stock in clear maybe not in the other colors

My ringke slim case came in
Case looks nice doesn't feel or look cheap.
Doesn't add bulk but does make the phone little slippery in the hand
Like how it came with a screen protector and when installed don't add any glare or interfere with the quality of the screen.
And has table lay so if you lay it on the table it won't be touching the screen
And cutoff for the power button and volume button still are easy to press and don't not interfere.
Overall 9/10

There is already quite some choices and availability for Moto G cases, but none of those I can find on the Internet cover the two weak points of a phone, especially this one: the side buttons AND the screen.
The Ringke look like they are the most reliable cases, so are some rubber cases that wrap the phone in the bumper with cutouts for the Volume and Power/lock buttons but... it doesn't protect the screen as much as the flip shell does but the flip shell leaves the definitely flimsy buttons unprotected.
Isn't a case that cover both weaknesses common for other older models ?
