I recently got the phone and wanted to show you guys an alternative holster that i havent seen on here. i have the ballistic and zagg but wanted to get the siedio but it came out the day after i got all this lol but overall im very happy with this setup. The Case is a reiko PH01-XXLBK
Also i got a square trade warranty from the app on the phone for 2 years for 99 and 50 deductible if someone is looking for a good deal on aftermarket warranty.
here are some pics.
Doesn't it make you look like a tourist with that case on your belt?

Where did you get the Ballistic from? Yours looks different than the others I have seen. Specificly the way it covers the phone on the front. The others dont have that little drop down in the upper right-hand corner.
I wish this came in other colors besides all black and I'd definitely buy it. With this case, is it still feasible for in and out of pocket maneuvering ??
just got it from ballistics. love the case. the velcro case is awesome, fits perfect and looks very professional with my uniform.

The only ballastic case made for our phones has that dip that you are talking about. Its in the pics of the full review I gave of the case which is also posted on this forum.

I dont doubt you, but look at what I found. I dont know why these are sold as T-989 if they are not. I wonder whats up here. Could it be boot-leg cases? But they are being sold on Amazon. I dont get it.

where did you purchase the reiko? everywhere i am checking it's sold out.
thanks
i went to one of those universal shops in the mall and had them order it for me. it was like 15 bucks. works great.
Those are some of the ugliest cases with the corners...I mean I guess that ads alot shock absorbent but I can't get past how awkward it looks to try it out

I have this case in all clear. All the holes line up correctly as long as you put it on right. The only issue I have with it is the kickstand rubs on the back of the phone when you open it and may eventually leave small marks if used enough.
I ordered the same case in black without the kickstand and I am going to put my FlyGrip back on it. This thing is awesome as long as you don't mind the extra thickness.

Is a nice case. I was looking for it myself until i bought the rock. However, I think this is a knockoff of the Nillkin case. I look everywhere for the Nillkin and was selling for over 20 bucks so i end up passing.

I received the case yesterday. I'll tell you what, if it is a knockoff, they did a pretty damn good job. The case isn't as "plasticy" as I thought it was. It has a hard rubbery feel to it. It looks exactly like the one in the pics, to a tee.

Shipping took almost 3 weeks but for the price, I can't complain. Adds almost no bulk and fits perfectly. All the holes line up

I tried out a Body Glove case at an at&t store and it feels way better than the case I mentioned above. I finally put my Flygrip on it today. It's a bit expensive, but it makes the phone more comfortable and you really can't tell the difference in your pocket. It also helps keep the speaker off wherever you placed your phone so it doesn't dampen your notifications / ringtones.
I just got my cheapo TPU kickstand case
(http://www.ebay.com/itm/TPU-Plastic...ccessories&hash=item4845f27e73#ht_3661wt_1396)
It's actually pretty nice so far! The matte pieces are harder plastic, and the clear parts are softer TPU. I was a little worried that the sides would be uncomfortable to hold, but the texture is fairly dull so they don't poke your fingers.
The big draw for me was the kickstand, which is mostly ok. It works, in that it flips out. I do have two concerns though... (1) as you can see, there's no other layer underneath, so when it's open that part of the back case is exposed. This isn't a big problem except I expect it to trap a bit of lint and stuff. Then, (2) hopefully there is enough clearance for it to open that it's not rubbing on the phone all the time. It's also a little hard to get a fingernail in there to open it, but not horrible. It's hard to complain too badly for $7.50, including a screen protector, a neat little stylus (which is actually pretty great, probably the best touchscreen stylus I've used so far), and an entertaining Engrish manual.
Disclaimer: Fitment review is TBD, however, it fits my new cardboard GS3 pretty well (pictured) Now, I just need my real one! I also got the clear version to show off my pebble blue, as opposed to the pictured "white" model.
Edit: I should also note that I got some of those XtremeGuard body skins that were on sale and plan to put them on as well. So, hopefully that will protect the back case against possible wear from the kickstand, as well as mitigating the issue with that section of the case being "open".

here is the case i bought on ebay.
The genuine galaxy s3 battery covers are so inexpensive! $7.99 straight from the verizon website.
I'm starting to think a cover with minimal protection that costs more than the battery cover itself is silly.
However, I do think it makes sense to use a bumper case for the phone, one with a slight lip on both the top and bottom to offer some protection to the screen/camera when you lay it flat.
This phone is too beautiful to cover it up......
anyone with me?
I agree sir. I used to have one of those barely there cases on my GS1 but it didn't cover any of the corners or the front so yeah... they don't make sense to me either unless you're just trying to protect your battery cover from scratches. I picked up this rear cover for that exact reason.

Easy.
Most people want to protect their battery cover from dirty tables as well. If you accidental put your GS3 on a wet table, the case is good. The cover not so much.
for me personally, this phone needs a case just for ergonomics. Without one im constantly hitting the volume rocker/power button by accident. at least with a slim case my fingers can go over the buttons without accidentally pressing them. They also cover the sides of the phone and add a little lip protection to the front.
I have a sgp ultra thin btw..
I ordered that cover! Same color and everything. I'm currently using tpu bumpers and waiting for that cover to come in.

I love it. I was also using a TPU bumper but I stopped using it. The cut out on the top right corner really started to bother me too much, especially after I put the new cover on.

For me...grip. The OEM battery door is so damn slippery. I also have the same the blue/carbon battery door on order for this reason.
You may ask why even bother, but do you really want to risk it. I mean these phones are quite expensive.
I use the trident aegis and am very confident in the protection this case offers. Not to mention it looks great.
Check it out:
Where do you see the stock battery covers for $7.99 on the Verizon website?
I may need to buy one to return my phone...
I use minimal protection for decent grip and as someone else said, to keep from accidentally hitting buttons. Besides, a little protection is always better than none whatsoever.

He was referring to these types of cases. http://www.case-mate.com/Samsung-Ga...Mate-Samsung-Galaxy-S3-Barely-There-Cases.asp The ones that are technically a case but they hardly protect the front, have no coverage on the top and bottom, and have zero protection on the corners.
Verizon OEM at Samsung.com
I was able to find them for 19.99 on Samsung.com.

lol i had the exact same thoughts as OP...but thought i might put a target on myself to get flamed haha
my opinion is the same. what is the point when these relatively expensive cases provide zero protection on the corners and the front? the battery cover can be easily replaced..and cheap too. the front? not so much...in my opinion if im getting a case for protection then it has to have a decent front raised lip and good corners protection..

In my opinion the nillkin v series is probably the bestn in it's class, but that's personal, and I haven't received it yet. The no name moko slim isn't that good I think. That's what I have right now

I bought a no name white folio case from eBay before ordering my Moko UltraSlim. I paid $1.79 with free shipping from China! It's not bad at all. It has the smart wake/sleep function too. Honestly though I do prefer my Moko UltraSlim which was around $15 or $20 (don't remember how much) shipped from Amazon.

It's bulkier than the speck fit. but probably the least bulky compared to all the slimbooks.

It feels premium for something so cheap. It has the magnetic wakeup feature as well fold points for a stand. Definitely worth a look.

Not really sad. Mine got pretty beat up and gunky. True leather should hold up better, but the feel of the Alcantara was nice.

I always liked the Alcantara’s non slip properties. You can place it almost anywhere on quite an angle without slipping off. I have a habit to place it on my knee while I need to do something. To date, no mishaps. Famous last words?

I take the leather, dab it with olive oil to get it soft and darker and then beat the crap out of it. In a short time you have a nice patina and good grip. The leathers always feel slippery at first but you need to wait it out until that coating comes off. Oil helps to take it away quickly and I like the look after.
ali express or bang good (one of the chinese sites) had note 9 alcantera cases cos I bought one. They are replica obvs.

What about the ones on Samsung site? I'm considering one of those.
I was unimpressed no protections at the bottom and it didn't even look or feel like leather but the inside felt like suade. The outside was slippery.
I bought the blue leather case using the 50% off on Samsung site for members. Its very nice and my fav even over 3 spigen cases I bought.
