If anyone is interested in what I feel is the Ultimate Smartphone Drop Protection it's available for $9 with free Amazon Prime 2-day shipping. Some of the stock of them (like the silver and gold are pretty low, less than 5 and less than 20). It comes in Black and Pink as well. Not only does it provide the benefit above, but it also allows for easy to use one-handed and two-handed use, best usage and viewing angles, as well as the best in-hand experience with looking and feeling the beauty of your well designed smartphones. I highly recommend everyone check out my review and look into this product.

While it is listed on Amazon it's from a third party seller and availability is listed at 3 to 5 weeks.
I'm waiting for it too
i heard it will start shipping between may 4th to the 6th. Am waiting to get my hands on one as well. Am not happy with the current price point. Especially the amazon price. I have seen others online with way less. Maybe the price will balance out once it is release. But it's a good investment, considering the device it is for. That's less then a best buy insurance for a year. So i won't mine buying one at that price if it stays that way.
The tech specs show the case as .84" but I think that is without the stand. Anyone hear how thick the combination of case and stand will be?
Looks like this case is for folks with hard wear situations only. No sure how appropriate it will be for normal use. Thoughts?
i do believe it's on the thick side. as most of the outterbox cases are. they sometime makes lighter version. but i mean for what i spend on this baby, i'll want to get the best jacket for her. it will keep her safe from everything, weather to falls. even the dog. lol
MobileCityOnline.com is taking preorders at 69.99 and have a in stock date of 05/06 listed. Think I'll pass on the rooCASE now that I know when the otterbox will ship.

Finally I get to post this.
My conclusion of this product is that it offers great value with very nice looks and feels no different that my more expensive SPG case but you can tell where the SPG has finer details specially in the different openings.
Still for $10 for the basic model and $15 for the "flashier" one, you cannot really go wrong.
Highly Recommend for NOTE owners! :good:

Looked at these. They're pretty nice looking for the money, but I'd rather have a flip-case so that the screen of my Note receives some protection when in my pocket. Looking at this...

Hey fellas,
Got my hands on affordable (but well made!) aluminum bumper style case for the Galaxy S3. This particular model came from Tmart but you can find similar ones on eBay, in all sorts of colors. It's a two piece case that fits nice and snug around your S3. It WILL bubble up some screenshields, which is unfortunate. All the ports and the cutouts are spot on, which is impressive for such an affordably priced case. Overall, while it doesn't offer a lot of protection, if you're looking for a bumper case - this is a good option!

Why keep throwing that word "affordable" out and not say what you paid for it? I have this very case since August ordering it straight from the manufacturer. I could find no dealer in the US. Plus, there were many knockoffs, especially on Ebay. Don't get me wrong, I love my TrioBump, I'm just annoyed at how so many post while leaving out details!
EDIT: Well, I watched the video and must apologize and complain even more! I should have watched it first (my bad) but I'd rather read the pertinent details in the post than watch a vid. I do not agree with your assessments. I think this case gives protection where it is needed most. I don't use any of those new fangled screen protectors that supposedly protect the display from impact damage. I think that's going to far. I do employ the Invisishield on front and back. It give a very snug fit with no bubbling. That said, I'm confident that I will not get any damage if my phone take a hit anywhere this bumper covers. My only concern would be having it hit a rock directly to the screen and in that case, I have insurance. I like the minimalist form factor plus the ease with which it can be taken on/off to change batteries. Plus, I can use it with my FlyGrip which is why I searched for just such a minimalist case. You slip in your two fingers and can use the phone with one hand without worrying about dropping. Plus, as you can see, it doubles as a stand. What has me newly annoyed is the price you quoted. I paid about 4o bucks from the manufacturer, Gimmick Five. I don't see how it could be sold for just 10 dollars.
EDIT: Just checked Gimmick Five's website, and they are still listed at 39.99 US. I'd like to know the story behind Tmart's TrioBumps.
Recently, I ordered in a black carbon fiber skin for the back cover on my SGSIII from the Scratch Dummy store on eBay.
It only cost me $.99 with free shipping (only took two days to arrive) this is my text review of the product. The full coverage only costs $1.99.
You can find it here: http://stores.ebay.com/scratchdummybrand
Along with their entire store at: http://scratchdummy.com/
Pricing
It only costs a dollar so you really can't go wrong there. I bought it out of sheer curiosity to customize my SGSIII a little bit more. For a buck, I would say that it's worth every penny. I consider myself a cheapo that sometimes sacrifices quality for price, but in this case, I would say that I paid for a high quality product that should be valued at a higher price.
Quality/Durability
I actually did some scratch tests after installation just to see how well it would stand up. Of course, I did the blatant key and coins pocket test while Christmas shopping for a couple of hours and my phone was completely fine. The skin itself did not scratch at all. I didn't take a drill or a razor to the skin, but I can tell that this is a product that will last. Especially given its pricing.
Look
It's the pretty common carbon fiber pattern that I think looks great. I ordered the black carbon fiber, but they carry white, grey, and pink as well. Additionally, I ordered a clear version that should be arriving next week.
Installation
Installation was a breeze. It was a wet installation, much like when you install some other protectors. They did not include a cleaning cloth or any solution but they do give some instructions on how to make the application solution from their website and included instruction sheet. I had a bunch of microfibers laying around (and i'm sure most of you do too.) Applied and left it to dry for about 3 hours and I was good to go.
Comparisons
This is truly the cheapest skin you will find (not from China.) It's advertised as being American-made ('Murica). A full body kit (Carbon fiber) only costs $2.99 from Scratch Dummy. Compared to the $29.99 (Carbon fiber) and $24.99 (clear) pricing that Ghost Armor offers. Quite honestly, the material is of similar quality. For a fraction of the cost.
Conclusions
It's the cheap man's Ghost Armor/Zagg. I think that it performs well and still allows me to use a case if I want. I'd say give it a shot, and if you don't like it, you're only out a dollar. It's really worth a try, in my opinion. I know a quality product when I see one, and this is definitely something that i'd recommend to you guys.
Thank you for the review dude, I was looking for something like this because I wasn't really shure about buying this brand because of the really really cheap price.
Now that I've seen you review I'm totally going to buy it right now. :good:
Ive has this for about a week now. Very very nice quality. I wouldve uploaded pictures but I thought you would do so. But I got the black carbon fiber back protector

I recently got my OP5T and I'm pretty happy with it.
However when looking at accessories on the site, the prices were kind of ridiculous. I decided to wait until the aftermarket options picked up.
I found a cheap case to use until better ones are available (i.e. Supcase) as I'm not seeing any decent aftermarket cases available.
The screen protector situation seems sketchy at the moment. I looked at a ton on AMZ and nearly all had poor reviews for incorrect fit. The only one I saw with positive reviews were $14/2 which was really high.
So I figured there would be others in the same situation and looking for a good case and screen protector. It might take a little bit for aftermarket supplies to catch up, but I wanted there to be a place for people to post and find them. If anyone found a good working screen protector, let us know. Cases as well.
I'm looking for a good screen protector. There are the ones by "Wtbone" with various sellers on amazon, I ordered some as it had almost a full five star review and found that it's too small. Then I read all the one start reviews... basically calling the five star reviews fake.
Looking at the others, they all seem to have this problem. I would love to get a good one if anyone has any recommendations.
Hello,
You could try the Nillkin's amazing H and H+ pro, premium quality, a little bit smaller than the screen on both sizes (like 0.5mm it's nothing), but they fit soooo well. (Trust me, i have tested a lots of them on amazon and dealed with incorrect fits, bubbles and fake reviews lol)
Edit : the pb is that glass screen protectors wider than the OLED screen doesn't fit cause of the small curve of the screen and full black cover, for some of thems doesn't really stick to the screen or incorrect cuts.
Pierre
I had actually already found a really good case. I found one that's almost identical to the Unicorn Beetle. I found out that Supcase won't be releasing the Unicorn Beetle for the OP5T and got this. It's very similar looking, except the front enclosure, which I didn't care for much anyways.

Honestly I'm not sure we're going to get a bunch of "brand name" case options. OnePlus is releasing phones so quickly without giving the models time to breathe, and they aren't selling enough for manufacturers to justify making accessories for them. At least that's the way it's looking to me. Heck they are already ramping up for the OP6, why should they worry about a case for the 5T.
Your options are most likely going to be what they are, the cheap China stuff.
I had the same experience as Pierroxx. I tried several screen protectors (five 2D ones actually, 1 3D). So far the only 2D one that worked was the most expensive, the Nillkin brand one. The 3D one I used was the One Plus one which was also excellent, and worked well other than it won't work with most cases other than the OEM ones.
