Black Bumper for S3 (HQ pics) Recommend!!

Let me start this review just by saying that i love bumper cases. I
have been looking over the internet to find the best bumper case for
our Galaxy s3. I came across this case. Its a STRONG silicone bumper
that completes me in every aspect.
First of all. Its cheap. I think that everyone can try a cheap case
and if they dont like it, they throw it to their dog. (hehehe) Guys,
seriously. this is the best bumper case i have seen over the internet.
Why? It has a nice touch when you are holding your
phone. VERY nice touch. You will want to just hold your phone because
it has a nice feel Second of all: PROTECTION. And i mean it. Front,
back and sides are fully protected.
Front side (screen): the case has a slight bump on the edges so if the
phone drops the floor, its still protected (floor not the road hehe).
Back: Again, the case has a bump on the edges. So if your phone drops
on the back, protected!!! if you want to lay down your phone on a
table: PROTECTED.
Sides: Full protection, which is obvious why: its the case hehe.
Buttons: FULLy accessible button, both power and volume buttons. They
are covered by a soft silicone so there are very easy to press
(compare to the other tpu case i have reviewed)
I dont know if there are more colours available. You must check on
sellers ebay site.
Rating: If this case would be rated its a rock solid 5/5. Believe me
on this. It defenently worths every peny guys. I even compare it with
a TPU bumper case, that i have reviewed last week, amd this is by far
better.
Enjoy the pictures. I tried to take as many as possible.
I will review more bumper cases in the near future so stay tuned.

if you find this review helpful, hit thanks

Nice review! Around the volume rocker it might need a little work but I've already ordered one of these.. 4$ shipped to Canada and it looks decent.
Thanks for the review!

You will like the case mate, i guarantee you that. Feedback when you get it so everyone knows from you too

Good review, I have the white one. Easily the best case.

I love the idea of this case, but had a similar one for my Galaxy Nexus which fell apart in a matter of days. Would be interested in reading an updated review of this one in a few weeks.

I have this case on my phone for a while and feels very steady guys. Note that i am snaping batteries daily, so the case comes on and off (by me i mean) and I havent got a problem so far.

Do you guys mean the material of the case degraded? This is all one-piece right? I was JUST shopping for my first bumper case and saw some aluminum ones that snap or screw together, but it seemed like the TPU ones are just a single piece of material and wrap around the edges.

Its a single piece mate. Plus you dont lose any signal plus its a snap in snap out plus its veryyy cheap

How does this fit with a zag shield?
Galaxy S3 Paranoid ROM.

I think that with the zagg shield you will be ok. The case has already a tight fit so its better not to use extra protection underneeth. I dont think you need zagf shield for the back cover because its already protected from the case.

If it is anything like the one for the Galaxy Nexus (and it appears to be the same), there is a hard plastic material used on the rear portions of the bumper, while the piece which surrounds the screen is flexible rubber. With the GN, the two materials separated.

is it easy to take it in and out of your pant pocket

i dont know for sure, but i think that it is going to work because the case is thin on the bottom. :good:

Thanks for the review, I ended up buying the same one but in white. I'm guessing they come from china because this thing isn't going to arrive for like three weeks haha. Oh well whatever.
My clear diztronic tpu case is starting to turn yellow and blue from my jeans so I really need something else. For three bucks I hope it holds up for a little while.

Do you think the the bezel or screen would get damaged if I dropped it from pocket height and it hit the corner on cement? Just wondering if I should still be extra careful when using this bumper.

i got mine in less than 3 weeks becuase the seller shipped the case in an envelope (like a mail). for three bucks its a bargain.

Has anyone bought cases by Rock?

Hey guys!
I came across a few TPU cases by Rock.. Flip and back-only. Anyone heard of or used them? Couldn't find any reviews for the case.. I'm not sure about the TPU quality and transparency of the back (for the flip one). Check them out, heres the link:
Flip: http://www.rockphone.cn/en/Html/Product/507.html#next
Back only: http://www.rockphone.cn/en/Html/Product/517.html#next
:good:

I bought this one ( search ROCK big city Brand New Leather Folio Case Cover Pouch For HTC One M7
in ebay) in navy, turned out to be a bit too shiny/shimmery for me. If your interested I can sell it to you from UK, unused with retail packaging.

Good to know! Two questions for you -
1. Is the TPU flexible? If so, is it like completely flexible or just a little?
2. Is the case too shiny? Like candy colours (think: Nokia Lumia)?

1. its rather hard, looks not like TPU, hard plastic would i say, but still flex enoth to fit it
2. the grey one is not that shiny, matt i would say

I ordered the black one, and it just arrived today. Bit of a shame I don't have a phone to put in it, because it looks great. It is glossy, but not overboard. Maybe similar to the gloss on the original PS3? But don't quote me on that, I only owned the slim.
My One should arrive tomorrow. Once it does, I'll post up some pictures so you guys can check it out.
As far as Rock cases go though, I had one for my One X and I really liked it. I would def recommend you guys check them out. Or also Capdase. I just got a white case from them today as well. Both very nice. One is glossy, one is matte.

Thanks! Looking forward to the pics

Do you order straight from their website ? I had their case for my s3 and loved it but then a whole ton of knockoffs started coming out.

So my phone arrived, and I had it in the Rock case within about 5 minutes. I'm in Korea for the day, so I'm trying it out. So far: really like it. The case fits like a glove. Doesn't snap on really tight like some, but there is absolutely no movement. I actually prefer this to the ones that make you think you are going to break your phone putting on/taking it off. The black on black looks so good! It's super thin, so the phone shape is maintained. It also has a very slight lip around the edges on the front so you can put it down on it's face, if you want.
The negatives: the black is a fingerprint magnet. I guess that's why they bundled a cloth in the package. The other is I am afraid I'm gonna drop my phone and it will break. I attribute the fear to having just got the phone, as well as being pretty hungover . If I were to drop the phone, the case wouldn't do much to protect it. It's more like a scratch guard.
Anyway, so far I really like it. I bet the coloured ones on the black would look ridiculous good. I'll add pictures when I get some time.

I have Rock "Quicksand" case with the Xperia S.
Dropped it from around waist level to the hard ground. No scratch.
So.. when I got One, I quickly try to find a Quicksand series but they don't seem to made it yet.

Battery back door replacement with softtouch ?

Hello,
can any one tell me whether there is for the LG G Pro? (Softtouch = effect like a rubber)

I don't know if there is a replacement back you can get for it, but there are a few lightweight cases Ive seen that have that kind of texture. You might have some luck with that... and you won't lose NFC antenna (which is attached to the back plate.)

You also have to think the Qi wireless receiver is on the battery cover, maybe nfc as well.
Sent from my LG-E980 using xda app-developers app

I would love to have this too - soft touch cover that includes Qi and NFC! As others have said, a lightweight thin case might help. I just ordered an Incipio feather case that should be here in a couple of days so I can report back. It looks similar to what I had for my Galaxy S3 and I liked that a lot.

i searched for something similar but didn't find any :crying:
i don't like to put a case on but a soft touch back cover only for extra grip

Given the nature of LG phones, I doubt it's going to be popular enough to receive the kind of aftermarket battery cover that some of the other popular phones out there get. The closest thing you can probably find to get a grippier back would be this:
http://www.buychina.com/items/lg-f2...ticker-diy-color-film-color-paste-ruprqqrojil
Basically a 3M film, like what dbrand makes. Alternatively you could try Armorsuit/Skinomi's carbon fiber skins, but I think they're rather overpriced.

I did see on a different forum that if you get the Xtremeguard full body protection kit, then the section that covers the battery door can make it a lot grippier, even if you don't use the screen protector portion. I saw it for like $4 or $5 on ebay. One concern I had though was that the back portion looked bigger than the battery door, which means it will extend past the door and cover the sides of the phone - this would make it messy to remove the battery cover, if you do that regularly.

Yeah, came across the same problem, couldn't find good replacement back so I wrapped mine in black suede. Looks and feels awesome.

How did you do that? i.e., where did you get the material and how did you install?
I just got my Incipio Feather case yesterday. Kinda disappointed. Fit and finish and quality of materials is superb. But to me, the basic reason to get this case was to increase grip. And even though it's soft touch, it is almost as slippery as the phone itself! Might have to get a traditional TPU case and just live with the dust accumulation, or try something like you did.

I bought the suede from a JoAnn and craft store and used the 3M super77 multi purpose spray adhesive. To me it works out perfectly as the suede is very grippy. I can however understand if some people don't like it.

I'm using incipio case and I can confirm that the the wireless charging and NFC function working fine with the case.

TPU Bumper?

So I've been looking for a TPU bumper for a while, and all I've seen are normal cases which have a back. I'm looking for one thats just a bumper and without a back. currently i have an aluminum bumper on my OPO but i dont like it much because of the sharp corners and slipperiness.
Anyone know of any tpu bumpers out there?

bumper!

I've been looking for a bumper like I had on my Moto X. Haven't found one yet. Only the aluminum bumper.

this isnt a bumper though. its a case with a clear back. plus according to reviews, theres a gap between the lip and the bezel of the device which doesnt look that great, and the back clear plastic scratches really easily :/

I know its not a true bumper im saying its the closest thing we got lol

I think there are no TPU bumpers available because they do not hold to the edge without slipping often. Just imagine you put a rubber band around the edge of the phone and taking it in and out of your pocket.

this is unfortunate. i think it is possible to make one though. the nexus 4 has a bumper and its completely round lol. plus rhinoshield had a model for it, they just never went through with making it.

I have been looking for one as well. I thought about getting that Orzly Fusion mentioned earlier in the thread and seeing if I could separate the back from it. I love the feel of my sandstone back, and don't want to cover it.

Looks like that might work. I think if you used a dremel cutting wheel and left a little of the clear lip around the back it might work really well.

I have one and you should be able to do that, however, it does seem like the back would be loose which means you might have to either cut the plastic from the outer edge which can be a hard job and leave some plastic left on the inside to cover the slack or fill in the slack with something else, either way it is achievable but you do risk losing £10

I'm looking for a bumper case to show off my skin as well, but I haven't had much luck in finding one. I'm going to keep looking around online, but if anyone knows where to get a bumper case like this, please share!

Settled on this one because no major manufacturers have put one out for the device yet.

Upstate: Received on Sunday from Amazon. I'm ​happy with this case. It does what I wanted, which was protect the front and rear glass areas from contacting surfaces when I put the device down. The raised rubberized black lines keep the phone up away from the clear cover. The holes in the clear cover for USB, mic, stereo jack (bottom), and whatever the tiny hole next to the camera is on the back all line up perfectly. I like the bumpers on the corners too. Hopefully I won't have reason to test them, but they look capable. :good:

Okay so now I'm pissed because my fave case manufacturer UAG came out with a new model for my phone just days after I settled on something less.

I also picked up this case. It is quite good, nice and slim with solid side grips. Having a clear back allows my Skinnova skin to show through which is cool. It fits tightly around the phone and feels quite sturdy. I'd definitely recommend this if you're looking for something close to a bumper case. I think this might be as close as we're going to get for this device.

i didnt receive my g5+ yet but i found this and i think it looks awesome.

Will do! I just ordered it yesterday, the total came out to around $20 USD. It looks like they 3D print the cases individually, so it won't be shipping out until Aug 31st.

I just got the bumper case from Shapeways today. First impressions - it's just ok, nothing spectacular. It feels like a $5 -10 bumper case, not a $20 one. The fit is a bit loose and not as sung as I would like. The grip is really solid though, and I like the texture. Overall I would say this bumper case isn't worth the money. But if you REALLY want a slim case, I would say go for it. I'm not sure if we'll ever get a different bumper case for this phone, so this might be your only option (at least right now).
