I received the Clear TPU case from eBay today. I had the same one on my Vibrant. It fits great, but there are no cutouts for volume rocker or power button. Got it for $10 USD shipped.

Have the same thing but took it out at once because it was so hard to access the power button and volume rocker! IMO, the best case right now is the one from body glove sold @ tmobile! Has a more pronounced rubber volume and power buttons!

Hey Thanks for the pics.
How is the feeling of the phone with the case on compared to it off in terms of size and feel in hand?
The power and volume buttons are harder to press but the pros of protection override the inconvenience.
In terms of size, it does add a bit of bulk bit not enough to bother me. You can still pocket it and it looks great. I can hold it more securely as well, I dont feel like i will drop this sucker now. Over all for ten bucks its worth it. Highly recommend.

Thanx for posting, I had a similar Aquaflex for my sensation.........Can't go wrong with these, and I dig the fact that the power buttons and vol rocker are covered.
Thanks for the pics! I just ordered this case yesterday and it's nice to see how it fits and looks before receiving it. I had a similar case for my HTC G2 (Desire Z) and I cut parallel slits next to the power button with my Xacto knife to make it easier to push. Works great!

I did the same thing with my HD7 a while back (cut parallel slits for both power and volume rocker).

I just ordered this one with expedited shipping for under $15. You have to select 'wireless central' as the seller on amazon to get the option for expedited shipping.
Thanks for the feedback on this guys. I've been eyeing this case since Wednesday when I got this beast. I keep seeing visions of SGS2 + concrete in my head......

I just received the exact came case in the mail yesterday. Good case, but a little tough to press the volume and power buttons. It also is a bit slick, the phone has fallen out of my pocket when sitting a few times already.
That's one of the beauties about our phone in that it being so thin, a case will even it out perfectly.
Unlike other phones like the MT4GS that was thick already, when I put a case on it it was a brick. Not the case here with ours...
Very fortunate.

I just put on a T-mo brand screen protector and the case makes the edges of the protector come up...blows. On another note, the protectors from the T-mo store go on VERY well. I have zero bubbles or debris under the plastic.

Yeah, I have the same problem too. Can't seem to get right top edge to lay down without moving the top corner of the D30 case up. Oh well, this is just a temporary one till I get a Zagg or something comparable.

Yeah I'm pretty partial to Zagg, had one on my Evo as well as Sensation and never ever hand a issue with them. I'll be ordering a Zagg shortly and I'll report back once I have it on. I'll probably end up switching cases though too as I don't like how hard it is to press both the power and volume buttons with the D30 case. Otherwise it's really a great case, I just think once all the other players start getting their cases out, they'll be a better buy.

I had a d30 on my gs2 which I really loved. I wish they had that for the gs3. I guess I'll get the diztronic as a stop gap measure.
I also used Diztronic on my SGS2. I was very happy with the case and with their customer service. I'm about to order one for my SGS3

I received mine today I had a diztronic you on my vibrant,sensation,sgs2 and gnex.I love them the only thing I don't like about this one is it doesn't seem very snug on the sides and the lip on the bottom kinda gets in the way of pressing the home button.Honestly the home button is the only gripe I have with the sgs3 design.I don't know why they chose to make it a physical button you have to press down as opposed to a touch capacitive on like the back and menu I feel like everytime press down I'm closer to breaking the home button.

I feels ya. I've never liked the idea of a physical home button on any of these phones.. it just looks ugly and out of place.. The GS3's isn't that bad, but still, why not have just made it a capacitive home button to match the menu & back button? Oh well.
I ordered a full body clear shield by photoskinz.
How does the shield affect the fitting Diztronic case ?
I ordered a Zagg full body InvisibleSHIELD and ended up taking off the back plate protector, one because I jacked the installation up and two, the fit was kinda tight, but again that was probably because of my crappy install. The front is fine so far.

The case was tight with invisibleshield?
So, after doing some research to 1) find a screen protector that doesn't mess with the capacitive buttons and 2) find a decent case that keeps my phone feeling as close to commando as possible, I settled on MediaDevil's Crystal Clear screen protectors and a $5 slim fit case I found on eBay. Managed to apply the screen protector flawlessly (was quite proud of myself, have botched many a screen protector in the past), the buttons work fine, and the case doesn't look too shabby either - decided to jump on blue after having been a red-centric person for the longest time. Not too bad, eh?
Anyway, just wanted to share the results. Cheers!

had the same problem, what i did was leave the two pieces together, then slide the side with the power button into the case at a slight angle them pushed the other side down, now everything work properly
I've tried about every way possible . I did some searching and it seems lots of others on amazon are having the same issue and spigen is aware of it

Looking at the forums the last couple days, boy did I choose wrong. I ordered the slim armor and the glas.tr protector. I already know both will be faulty when they get here.
I see this as more of a user error. It comes down to how you put the case on.
Put the case on in one piece and you won't have problems.
Put the tpu on, then put the hard shell on after and you'll run into issues (stuff binds up).
This case is a very tight fit to the phone. So you have to be careful installing it.
I'm glad I saw this thread, I was going to ask the same thing myself. The volume buttons work perfect but the power button sticks.
I just received this email:
We are very sorry for inconvenience, we have received revised rubber part, please advise whether you would like us to send you new rubber part? or whether you prefer a refund.

I would take their offer. I'm still waiting for an email back myself. I was reading on Amazon reviews that Spigen is sending customers a new backplate that corrects the issue.
Sent an e-mail to Spigen 2 days ago on both Amazon and their website regarding getting a replacement Slim Armor, have gotten no response . Hope I get one soon. I love the way the Slim Armor feels. As long as the issue is fixed this will be my permanent case.

He did say he tried installing it different ways though.
It's just a case, it should work without having to do anything special. Most people aren't reading these threads or trying different ways to install a simple case for it to work the way it was intended.

I tried putting mine on over a dozen or so times in just about every way imaginable. Even did some trimming and tried sticking the point of a knife under the rubber power button flap and pull it through more once the phone was put in the case and it still has the issue. Even tried stretching the hardshell out a bit. Though all in all I'd say that both the volume and power buttons are too easy to depress in general and the tightness on some units makes the issue even worse. I contacted Spigen and hope to get a replacement as I really don't see any other cases out there I want . If need be I'll just completely cut the power button out even though I shouldn't have to do that.
It's not user error. Some cases seem to be fine, but some have the button issue. The inside nub that presses the hardware button is too tall. I trimmed mine and it is perfect. Great case otherwise - protective and not bulky.

Have the same exact case. Was one of the first people to order it. I don't have a problem with the power button sticking. So it probably isn't every case. I install it by having both the rubber and plastic part together first and pushing the phone in.

Cannot recommend the cheap ebay ones. This one http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=231116130513
(after being shipped more than a week late) only half fits my Moto G (despite having a cutout, it obscures the power/volume buttons and hence makes operation an utterly frustating exercise)
Good leather case
I got this today, it is good, not great but cheap. But the screen protector does not fit something wrong with the dimensions I used the scissors, or maybe I could not fit properly. It folds at the back. that is nice.:good:

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 ?
