I picked up the Spigen case from Amazon. It's built well and fitment is great. It came with the screen protector. Like many others report, it has a lot of issues. Their customer service is a joke regarding the known issue as they request photos and vidoes. Really? All they had to do was read the Amazon reviews to see the first run was faulty.
Either way, the case is solid. Just don't get their screen protectors.

i ended up getting a tpu case for £1.90, its pretty darn good, also a tempered glass screen protector ive put on, im pretty confident its well protected now..

I bought this case it fits great all buttons are easy to use with it on. The only issue one might have is the cut out on the bottom for the USB port may not be big enough for some third party USB cord ends.

I splurged and got the leather case for the Fire Phone. $16 is pricey but it's the only phone case that has impressed me.

Thanks for the heads up. I snatched one of these. And the screen protector thing.

You've probably come across this. Its a little bulkier than I hoped but its growing on me. I love the tempered glass but wish I hadn't been so eager to stick it on--no bubbles, just the tiniest piece of lint inside. Its hardly noticeable, and undetectable unless the screen is lighter background, but those things bother me. Next time I'll use latex gloves to apply it.
I like the glass back to but not crazy about the amazon logo being in full view. What do people think about a nice android logo or cyanogenmod decal?
Also...the headphone cut out doesn't leave room for larger audio jacks. It doesn't affect me but Some peoples car jacks won't connect.
Overall excellent buy for the money.

Thanks for the tip. For $9, it's like buying the tempered glass and getting the case for free. Definitely worth a try with no real downside if it turns out to be too bulky.

It was a great deal. To be honest, only reason its bulkier than I thought was because one of the reviews said it was "less bulky than expected..." But the pic in the ad doesn't really mislead. It'll probably be the same size as you imagine--about a half inch thick.
And take my advice applying the glass. Its super easy but read it through first and keep it as clean as possible.

Thanks for posting this. Is the back of this case glossy like the sides/edges, or is frosted/dull? It looks frosted from the photos, but I'm not a 100% sure. I'm looking for a similar case that's glossy all over.

AT&T store case sale
Local AT&T stores seem to be having a fire sale on Fire Phone cases. I picked up a nice Speck case, retail $35 for $5. They had several other cases there too. This has also been mentioned on Slickdeals re the eBay Fire Phone/Amazon Prime deal (the price of the eBay deal seems to change from $139 to $189 depending on the sellers mood).

I got a white case from Speck with the CandyShell design.
http://www.speckproducts.com/amazon.html
They had the Blue and the Pink. They also had a leather case that said 50% off of $35, but when they rung it up it was $5. Leather was nice and small but offered little protection...no raised lip around the display.
There might have been some others...don't remember them all. They were on a clearance rack.

I found the Incipio extended battery case at my local ATT store marked down from 90 to 10. You pretty much just have to go ask and someone will go dig around in the back and find what they have. I also picked up a regular incipio case with the aluminum back, but is kind of warped already and doesn't stay on that well. For 5 bucks, it's not even worth taking back to exchange!

I just bought the Amazon Polyurethane Case for Fire Phone, Blue when I purchased the phone they had them for $10. It works great, doesn't get in the way of the buttons/ports while still protecting the corners, and has a nice texture that isn't too slick but cleans up well. It barely adds anything to the phones dimensions as well.

I bought the Incipio Dual Shine case from an AT&T store for $10 and it has been pretty good. A little heavy, but the brushed metal back looks slick. I've dropped it a few times and it has held up.

One-handed use?
Can anyone who has received and started using their Blurex case please let me know how this case works one-handed? I can't tell if the cover will fold all the way over flat or not and it seems as if the clasp piece may make it awkward to hold on the left hand side. Any pictures of it fully opened would be a huge help!
Thanks in advance!

,I have the vipertek case, same exact case different name. It lays back flat when open. The clasp sticks out but imho it helps your hand steady it easier when using one handed, either hand feels good different ways of holding but comfortable. Don't have camera or would get a picture.

1mm ultra thin case - video

Has anyone bought or tried this case? in looks very interesting as its so thin it may be comparable to buying something like the Bodyguardz skins without the hassle of sticking that stuff on.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1mm-Ultra...sesPouches&hash=item4165054cf6#ht_2462wt_1168
Got a few days ago, pretty good, very very thin but slippery. Did a quick video to show it in action.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KG2HBa-62Rc
i've got one. its about 0.5mm thick in some parts, so the only thing its good for is protecting the phone's body from scratches. it offers no drop protection, and no camera protection, and its not grippy either.
i prefer my ringke slim case and my anymode pebble jelly case, theyre grippy and dont add much bulk, and offer decent protection for the corners of the phone (if you drop your phone, its more likely to land on a corner) and it goes slightly over the edges of the screen, so if your phone does land face first, the glass is less likely to touch the ground, making it less likely to shatter.
Thanks Souai, I had the ringke for my galaxy s2 and i found that after a while it started stretching out and not fit the phone properly. The reason why im so keen on these ultra thin ones is more as an alternative is the skin shields. ill check out the pebble case though.
looks similar to the Case Mate Barely There.

$54 seems a a lot for a case, the 1mm is just $4 including delivery.
lol 5000 INR is not 54$ its more than 100$ to my knowledge and also that for a case is too much IMHO...
Anyway I would have bought one if it was sold from Amazon . Looks nice
Yeah, I hate ebay and their bloody fees, Ive ordered one though , it'll take a few weeks for it to arrive, ill report back then.

I ordered some from ebay (the seller sold them in pairs) - one was cracked from the start and unusable, and the other was slightly warped from being stuffed in the padded envelope. I found them to be not very grippy, and the cut-out for the m/usb was quite sharp, and being as I rest the Note on my little finger when I hold it one-handed, painful!
Hope you have better luck than I did - I just use the Note bare-back now!

Every time i buy a new phone get into a mad rush to buy cases for it, i use them for a week or two then ditch them because I prefer to use the phone bare, i'll probably do the same as you Towserspvm2000, but at below 3 quid a pop im not going to be losing out on much if it is crappy.
Just got this case from China. I like it. Simple and almost like it is bare. Only issue is the buttons are a little harder to push. But not a deal breaker. This is my third case. thinnest and the lightest. Not bad for $4US. Just got to make sure I don't drop it. More for scratch protection than anything.
hey guys, got the case and its pretty good but bloody slippery. Put up a youtube video to show it in action.

PureGear Slim Shell Case

Does anyone know where I could find some reviews of this case? Been holding off buying a case for a way too long and this looks promising
http://www.pure-gear.com/shop-by-ca...case-for-samsung-galaxy-s-iii-collection.html
Would anyone know where I could buy the coconut jelly version in the uk? I would be willing to make a video review on my youtube channel: youtube.com/polesp as a payment
I was waiting for the Musubo cases to come out, but decided to pull the trigger on the PureGear Slim Shell instead. I ordered the Black Tea one from this seller on eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/PUREGEAR-SA...t=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item2573f30cba
At $22.75 and free shipping, this is the lowest price I was able to find. It's out for delivery today, so I'll post a quick review within the next couple of days. I'm currently using a CruzerLite TPU case, as I'm not a big fan of dual layer (i.e., Otterbox, Ballistic, etc.) cases. The PureGear certainly seems like an interesting option.

Thank you! there are virtually no reviews out for this case which one are you getting? if it is the coconut jelly one would you be able to comment on whether the clear back leaves any marks on the back of the s3 (those big bubbles you get when plastic touches something), as postage to the UK takes 30 days your help is really appreciated
I was considering both Coconut Jelly and Black Tea, and ended up going with Black Tea. I know exactly what marks/bubbles you're referring to - my wife is using a CruzerLite translucent green TPU case on her white GS3, and the bubbles on the back are a bit unsightly. I came across a post on a different thread, where it was suggested to spread a small amount of talcum powder inside the case prior to putting it on the phone. Supposedly, it completely eliminates the bubbles.
We sell this case in store at TMobile ... they sell out fast... pretty nice case and a very functional holster
Just seeing if anyone has purchased one of these cases and how they compare to a diztronic or SGP color hybrid.
Thanks,
i wanted to buy this but kinda worry about the grippy rubber will easily get dirt and not washable. Also, how come there is no passion fruit color at all?????
Forget the case, look at the screen protector. Damn genius design...
looks real nice.
I like the Black Tea. Passion Fruit would've been soo much better had it had green trim rather then the blue.
I received my case and am definitely liking it so far, despite a couple of minor imperfections. I'll post a review this weekend, when I have the time to sit down and write one up. All in all, I give the case 8.5/10.
The rubber is hard, not the grippy kind. It doesn't trap dirt at all. The case is far superior to the CruzerLite TPU case that I've been using previously.
@Goobacks:
I agree, the design of the roll-on screen protector is absolutely genius. However, $25 is a bit too hefty.

In the event you come back to this thread, my case is holding up like a champ. They are available on Amazon for around $15 nowadays, and it's definitely worth the money. I got the orange one for my wife, who always keeps her phone in her purse, and the edges accummulated black scuff marks all around the sides of the case. I have the black tea one, and it still looks the same as it did the day I bought it. Then again, I don't have a purse!
Not a bad case not real grippy got the coconut jelly ( clear ) I don't recommend the color it looks like it has 3 cracks ( really small ones ) rite above the 3 slots for camera speaker and flash but not bad for paying 17 bucks with shipping from cell guru

I bought the IMAK Ultra Thin Transparent from eBay. Fits well and protects the back of the phone nicely. I would suggest it if you're looking for something thin. It also doesn't cover up the nice looking back plate.

We at Diztronic are officially making one. Should be ready in about 3 weeks.
I've also heard the Cruzerlite is making cases so I'm sure I'll end up with one of those in addition to a wallet case from Oppomart.com.

I usually just search eBay, Amazon and Google but it takes awhile if I'm looking for the best price. Oppomart looks promising, is this an official store?
I personally just decided to grab a couple off ebay. I got a TPU case as well as a hard case. They've shipped... but they are coming from China so the estimated delivery date is July 15th - 28th but the prices were fairly good.
I tried searching Amazon, but somehow missed the IMAK one that has Amazon Prime shipping. I would have gotten that one had I know.
(And in reality, I've purchased the phone but haven't yet been notified that it was shipped so maybe I'll be lucky and it will only be a few days caseless instead of a few weeks.
My Vpower case came in yesterday. I ordered it from eBay. It's surprisingly well-made and slim. Just what I was looking for. Paid $9.39USD with free shipping.

Okay. Thank you!
More pics as requested. Raised edge on front can be seen along with coverage of top and bottom of device.
You can now order official cases off their website now. They are a bit expensive though compared to the ebay ones.

Very Nice G3 Case and Cheap Also

One of the best cases I've ever owned can be bought here. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JW7AQWY/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. This case fits perfect, adds almost no bulk, matte black and almost feels like there is no case on the phone.
I have this case and it was 1 cent plus 4.99 shipping, but now it is 5.99 + 4.99 s/h:

I don't like flip cases, but the texture looks cool

Same. I have never lost a phone in an otter box. They are well protected[emoji2]
Ordered the Supcase last night. Good deal with good reviews.
I live by these. Almost no bulk, no antenna hole, AND there's a kickstand! Works with a Skinomi screen protector without pushing up the edges too. Oh, and cheap.

That is the ugliest POS case. You've posted about this case in numerous threads on XDA - do you work for the company or something? They're horrible. Stop please.

The company is some unknown generic Chinese company or something, don't know and I really don't care either. And I'll shut up as soon as all the other people shut up about their favorite ugly cases, how about that?
Otterbox
Spigen Ultra Fit
Got this one, pretty happy with it as it adds hardly anything to the form factor. Using the free screen protector it came with...after a failed attempt with the Spigen Tempered Glass (two pieces of dust got under...drove me crazy). The case does have the antenna cut out but I didnt really care. Nice and simple
Tech21 hands down.
Waiting on my spigen slim armor

So would you say the Otter is worth the extra money?

extra money over the otterbox defender you mean ?
if thats the case, personally i would say yes.... easily, because i for one wont be sticking this huge phone in my pocket. this phone needs to be attached to my belt. plus the otterbox 'rubber' has a real great feel to it, and a swiveling beltclip ?
get oudda 'ere :highfive:

I had a Spigen Ultra Fit on my N5 and loved it. Wonder if they'll come out with one that doesn't have the antenna cut out.
Any of you guys using the thicker cases have wireless charging? Does it still work? The Spigen on the N5 worked great with wireless charging.

Thanks, I had bought the Verus Thor (slim armor) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00J9TBM96/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and didn't like how big it is. Just got this delivered and it is way better. Doesn't add bulk and I like how the camera cutout feels. It kind of guide's your finger to where it is going, The other one I got felt like I was reaching into a hole to find the buttons.
Some random rubber/plastic case from Ebay for $3 shipped.
Done.
Had to edit this post. The case has a very sharp edge on the bottom where the pinky rests while holding the phone one handed. Not impressed..
