REVIEW: Elago G5 Flex Case for Galaxy S3

I wanted a dark-blue navy colored case that was full-fitting. As in, no loss of protection to any corner/edge of the phone.
This case was the closest I could find to what I wanted, so at $15 shipped in the USA, I went ahead and picked it up.
I'm not crazy about this case. But it's not bad either. Pretty good for $15 shipped I guess.
Here are some plus's & minuses.
1) It's kind of slick feeling. Like it could easily slip through my fingers. Not the worst ever, but definitely one of the slippery feeling cases I've used.
2) It always feels "dusty" even when it's clean?
3) #2 is probably because it has a "silky soft" feel to it. I'm probably just not used to the way that feels. It does not feel like any TPU case I've ever used before. It does not feel overly rubbery but instead, almost "cloth-like".
4) It's a perfect fitting case. VERY easy to put on and remove. So easy in fact, that you think the phone might fall out. But once the case is on, it feels like it fits perfectly. The case does not wiggle around like some cases I've had before.
5) The cutouts are all very good.
6) The USB cutout is large enough to allow all of my microUSB connectors to flush fit the phone when connected.
7) The blue color has a barely perceptible PURPLE tinge to it. Even though it's mostly blue. Kinda like the phone itself.
8) It has not gotten any scratches in the few days I've used it so far.
9) There is a huge blemish above the volume rocker. I've circled it in the pic below.
VOLUME BUTTON WITH BLEMISH ABOVE IT. Blemish is circled in red.

Why is there a big hole by the upper right corner?

It's for the version with a tv aerial. This is what always stopped me buying one of these, can never know until it arrives if a version without the hole exists.

Are these only found on the International variants?

Probably for the Korean market. They have DMB which requires an antennae to watch TV.

If this is designed for the korean market S3... its gotta be slightly loose, as the S3 with the TV antenna is slightly thicker

flip cover - magnetic?

Whats the chances we will see a flip cover that attaches it self to the phone using a magnetic strip along the bezel of the phone (this is assuming the bezel is aluminium)
a bit like the surface tablet keyboard cover (without the hooks)
will the aluminium be magnetic enough to hold it?
Z

Aluminium is paramagnetic (=very weak magnetism), so it's probably not enough for a cover.
But maybe they install a small magnetic area somewhere inside the cover, so that the flip side can attach to it!? Who knows...

I don't think it'll be 100% pure aluminium. Doping is always done to make such bodies durable

Does the case cover the notification LED? I know it probably wont but its hard to tell from the pictures.

Hmm yeah, you are right. It doesn't look as good as I have imagined. I'd have to hope for a better quality flipcase. Or I'll get poetic bumpercase. Not sure.

I've just checked for you and it partially covers it, but it could be different with someone else as the front cover moves so it might be a slightly different fit :good:

Cheers. This could be a deal breaker for the flip case if it makes the LED redundant!

Cruzerlite Bugdroid Circuit case (w/pics)

For those interested in an excellent, form-fitting, comfortable, and inexpensive case, I highly recommend getting the Cruzerlite Bugdroid Circuit case from Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00E6N68QM/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I got mine earlier this week and I love it. Perfect cutouts for the buttons and ports, and feels great in the hand. I got the clear one, so the sides, top, and bottom are completely clear, with the back having a frosted look. Overall, if you're looking to customize and want the color to show through, this case is a great option. Here are a few pictures:

For those that have this case..how is the swiping in from the side of the screen (to open the new google standard slide-out menu). I had a speck case I got from AT&T and returned because it covered to much of the sides of the screen and made it impossible to do this. Any input would be appreciated!

I have this case. Its hard to text sometimes using swype because the case comes so far up to the sides of the phone. Otherwise, its perfectly fine.

Got the cruzerlite care and the diztronic. Greatly prefer the diztronic, as it seems easier to press the power and volume buttons.

That spot on the bottom corner is simply the injection molding point, not a defect.

Other than that, the injection molding mark: you can see it clearly in the picture above on the red case (to the left of the speaker hole). If you've ordered one of our Nexus 5 cases in the past 3 months or so, or any of our S5 and LG G3 Cases, you probably received a case that had a similar mark on the bottom. This is where the plastic gets injected into the mold, afterwords a small mark is left. We used to put it on the bottom or top corner of our cases, or sometimes along the edge of the microUSB hole in an attempt to hide it. The factory recently figured out a new technique to make it a small dot on the bottom of the case instead of the larger and longer mark we had before. It looks a lot better than the old mark on the corner of the case did, but I know no one wants a mark on their case no matter how it looks. I'd love to put it on the inside of the case, but I'm told that isn't an option.

Is the case grippy or does it slide around in your hand?

It kind of slides in my opinion, but then again of course it will since we're so used to the Sandstone being so grippy. But I don't really ever have the idea of my phone sliding out of my hand when using the Diztronic TPU. I'm really bad at explaining these kind of things but I hope that helps.

I don't have any issues with it.

[POLL] Which style 360 will you get?

Finally looks like launch date is getting closer (not that I know if I'll be able to get one in the UK at launch yet)... got to start deciding which style to order...
Which option are you going to go for / which looks best?
Black / Silver watch
Leather / Metal strap

I'm going for the silver and metal strap. It just looks so damn perfect!
Skickat från min LG-D802 med Tapatalk 4

I'm going for the metal strap for sure but I haven't decided on the watch colour yet.
Sent from my SM-G900W8 using Tapatalk

Silver... and the strap I'll try all sorts.. its been a while since I used a watch the only thing I remember about metal bands is that they love to painfully pull the hair out of my arm :-|

I'm going for Black metal but I hope the straps are interchnagable like on the Sony SW1/2.

Black metal.
Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

Definitely a metal variant!

Black with leather strap but I'll switch out bands when needed . I've already bought a few for my pebble let's hop it's 22mm

Black and going to put a silicone or rubber strap on it, maybe an isofrane
Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk

Damn, can't decide. I'm thinking all silver...

Beautiful Black
I am thinking black with metal band... But if the silver is really classy, I might be swayed. This watch needs to blend in with a business suit, so we shall see!

I'll start with the black with the leather strap as that seems the most practical for everyday use but I will pick up the metal band for going out.

Silver and silver metal band.
Sent from my LG-D851 using Tapatalk

Does metal strap exist?
Just realising that I don't think I've really seen any test / hands on pics of any devices with the metal strap - apart from the renders on the moto360 site.. do you think they'll definitely release it with one or it might cost more?

Here's some more info/speculation on what it will come with:

The metal band looks like it has some kind of adapter to facilitate the attachment to the watch. That has me worried. I already picked up a strapcode super engineer ii 22mm in black for the M360.

I'm really conflicted..
The Silver looks lovely looking at the face or in renders:

I had initially thought i'd go Silver... but now I suspect I'm going to go Black...

So it is going to be $50 more for the metal strap - 299 vs 249... That lifts it a little out of my comfort price band!

I'm going black with leather. I like once the black is off how it looks. Big solid black circle.

From Moto website - http://www.motorola.co.uk/Moto-360/moto-360-gb.html#specs-moto-360-gb - there isn't a metal case... [ EDIT] - isn't a metal strap
