Walnut S2 Lite case

Anyone ordered this case sold by Walnut on Gmarket:
H T T P://english.gmarket.co.kr/challenge/neo_goods/goods.asp?goodscode=217473693
A slim case is what I want, currently using casemate barely there but I don't like the glossiness of the plastic as it attracts fingerprints more than the screen!
I also have the original Samsung mesh case but it has snapped in two of the corners and gets caught on fabric when in pocket etc.
Costs including shipping to UK is ￦ 41000 which works out about £23 - slightly expensive..

hi, i dont recommend you to get that since the bottom of the phone is not protected. thin it may be and it also has a nice textured surface at the back but if protections not good. nahh..

I wouldn't advise a barely there case either they are **** both me and my missis have always had them on a previous phones and found them to be great but for the S2 they are rubbish, both mine and my missis cases have failed in the same way where the volume rocker is, most cases have a cut out but the BT case has a thin piece of plastic round the top which just snaps off. There really was no need for case mate to do it like that as all other cases have a u shaped cutout but this has a stupid bit off weak plastic.

Thanks for the replies guys, might stay away from this one but I can't think of any other good slim cases other than buying another mesh case :-\

Try the Venom Armour Shell case. I have the black one and while protection doesn't match bumper style cases it does offer decent protection and looks/feels great.

Nillkin Dynamic Fashion Hard Case Review

Just thought I'd post my opinion on my latest case and throw up a few pictures for you guys to have a look at..
This is my second case for my S3, the first one being a FONEM8 Hard Slim Shell off eBay (www.ebay.co.uk/itm/140764120157) and while I was happy with the fit and style the rubberised texture attracted dirt like you wouldn't believe. In the end I had a grotty off white case that wouldn't even wash clean You can see what I mean in the 3rd picture.
Off I went looking for something similar in fit but with a gloss/shiny finish so it didn't end up all mucky and found the Nillkin Dynamic Fashion Hard Case (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/230807084265) paid my £10 and waited for the postman. It arrived fairly quickly from China and I'm pretty happy with it. The rainbow effect that can be seen in the pictures is fairly subtle and can't really be seen in the pictures, its most noticeable in natural light.
Here's the pictures anyway (http://imgur.com/a/Hy2gp)

Those are really nice, I have the black textured one and it feels like it will protect your phone. Also goes over the bezel of the phone enough that you can leave it face down.

I bought one but didnt like it, i didnt like that theres little to no protection on the corners of the phone ,i bought a samsung vented case instead and like that better

The corners and top/bottom are a tad exposed, for me its trying to find happy medium between protection and keeping the device feeling slick and lightweight, can be tricky
I tend to go through cases quite alot (finished with about 8/9 for my iPhone) so I'll do a thread like this for each one I buy so others have a decent(ish) reference :good:

Here is mine...

Good.

Actually one of the better looking TPU cases IMO...
How's the fit seem overall? From the pics it looks great.
I may just pick one up..

Doesn't look very "ultra-thin".

Just a warning, if this is one of those cases with a diamond sort of "embossed" pattern on the inside, you have to be careful to clean dust from the inside, or it'll end up scratching the back of your phone.

Like most TPU and other cases, even the high end expensive ones, dust, lint, sand, soot will get in and eventually may cause scratching. I would assume most people take the time to clean and maintain their devices' appearance and or avoid being sandy, sooty, linty and dusty
Besides, the back will get scratches without anything protecting it as well.. I am waiting for delivery of the backs to my full body protection from XtremeGUARD. (ebay has them for $4 delivered http://www.ebay.com/itm/XtremeGuard...ccessories&hash=item35bcdc39ee#ht_3731wt_1270)

I found these much cheaper, at less than $2 delivered, but can not say if those will be the same as this one.
Here is the ebay link to the other ones, he has some other interesting cases as well, IMHO super cheap. http://stores.ebay.com/E-ChainStore/_i.html?_nkw=s3&submit=Search&_sid=1033895339
As you can see in the pictures above, it is very snug tight form fitting all the cut outs match perfectly and it actually covers the volume rocker and power button. At $4 delivered it is as good if not better than the Diztronic of similar design costing $10+ pictured below.

This is true, but in comparison with other TPU cases, this one as you can see is fairly thin and still offers good bump drop protection.

SGP Argos For Samsung Galaxy S III Review(Black)

I've been using the SGP Argos for a few days now and I'm ready to share my review with the XDA community. Overall, the case has been good and is really high quality, but there were somethings I didn't like about it. You can view my video review and my full thoughts below, along with high resolution pictures of the case.
You can purchase the case here:

My full thoughts on the case:

The Argos is a genuine leather case available in Black, White, and Vintage Brown. The Black and White models cost $39.99 while the Vintage Brown costs $42.99. For $39.99/$42.99, you're not getting much. No screen protectors, just a leather case. Now not to say that this isn't a bad case, it's actually really high quality. There's no sewing so you don't have to worry about stitching falling apart. The quality of the leather is superb and is 100% genuine. Overall, the construction of the case is just absolutely fantastic.
It also gives you access to all ports, except the bottom microphone and usb port is only accessible when the front cover is opened. I'm sure you could tell by the image above how this case works. You need to open the front flap every time you need you access your phone, and this is also goes for charging it. This is the only downside I could see with the case. If you're someone who uses their phone often, opening the front flap constantly just to use the phone can be annoying. On the upside though, it offers screen protection so the chances of getting scratches on your screen are lessened. Honestly, I wasn't too keen on how the case functioned, but that's merely cause I'm impatient. If you're someone who doesn't at all mind the front flap and would rather have the extra screen protection and a gorgeous leather case, I'd have no issues recommending the SGP Argos for the Samsung Galaxy S III.

Nice, it is really high quality.

These look really nice. It's probably the only case with a front cover that I would get.

I espiaclly likd the way it closes. Very snappy but sturdy!

I also have this case. Overall it's nice but I didn't like how it flips around the back. It doesn't lie flat when it's open and make it a little awkward to hold.

Yup, I stated this in my review. The phone just slides around when the front flap is folded back.

Can anyone compare the Olixar and Spigen cases?

The Spigen seems to be the current case of choice. The Olixar, http://www.mobilefun.com/61150-olixar-flexishield-zte-axon-7-gel-case-smoke-black.htm, seems to be the same, except a single rear cut-out vs separate cut-outs for each rear camera and fingerprint sensor. Just wondering how close the Olixar is to the Spigen.

This looks like a very basic TPU case, albeit of slightly higher quality then the one in box. The Speigen on the other hand is more comparable to a Commuter otterbox.

The spigen case will offer more protection, but be much larger/heavier. The Olixar case looks like it's probably close to a colored version of the clear one that comes with the phone.
Personally, I don't see a reason to buy any other case than the clear included one until that wears out. Unless I can find a slender kickstand one.

This is the thinnest kickstand one I have seen so far: https://www.amazon.com/MicroP-Layer...F8&qid=1480911193&sr=1-5&keywords=axon+7+case

Way too bulky for me. Thank you for the link though.

The Olixar case seems thinner than the Spigen. In the picture you can see the Axon name on the back of the phone

That microP case with the kickstand is cool, are there other kickstand cases? Here is a question for some one more knowledgeable then my self; do plastic cases interfere with radio communications I.e. NFC, WiFi and Lte?

I had the FlexiShield for my Note 7, really liked how thin it was but the corners were actually a little bit reinforced I think, I'll add an image, protected the screen nicely and minimalistically.
