Case recommendations ?

Does anyone have any recommendations for a case. I've has 2 Krusell cases, I like them, but they keep cracking. I also had the official one which I didn't really like - felt cheap.
Has anyone any recommendations? I'm thinking of the NGP Semi-Rigid Soft Shell Case. I want to still maintain the thin feel of the phone.

Wrong thread but the Otter Box is great. I couldn't live without it.

case-mate barerly there?

If I was you, I would go for the 's line' case from Ebay.
Why? It's cheap, very good build quality, protects the screen also and the most important for feature, grip at both sides.

Mine is starting to crack, fell out my hoodie pocket today about 1ft drop and the case has a crack on it. Also has another crack from when I dropped it at a house party but its barely noticeable.

case mate though, very, very good, i love it, and makes my mind rest, if my phone falls to the ground i will survive

I was looking at the case mates but they seem to be made of the same material as the Krusell, which cracked twice on me, also the fact that the camera cutout isn't entirely flush would be a bugbear for me.
Went into CPW at lunch to have a look, but they only had 2 cases! Hard to buy these things blind online.

Normally I don't like cases on my phones, but I had to take one also for work so my phone won't get scratched. But because I like the s line so much, I keep it on whole the time

I'm amazed with all the positive comments for such a cheap case. Ordered one on eBay, might still keep an eye out for another though.
Having said that the phone feels so much better without a cover.

Nice find and the price is very cheap.

I have this case it's excellent. Fit is very good and it's very light. The sides have a little texture which makes it easier to grip and the button covers provide just enough resistance that I no longer have pushes happening when it's in my pocket. I was skeptical when I ordered it but I really can't think of anything I'd change about it - it's a fantastic case at a ridiculously good price.

Same here and same price on Amazon!

I got mine about a week ago. Paid $1.99. Absolutely the best case for that price! Nice and snug with great texture on the sides for grip. Highly recommend!

Got a link for this on Amazon? I could only find this case for $10 on Amazon.com

Its the case Im rockin right now and it feels nice. Obviously it doesn't make a huge difference, maybe its in my mind, but i even removed the battery cover. Just my phone and the case. Works nicely on heat too

I think im going to order this sucker right now!

Wonder how this one stacks up against the $10 one from Diztronic? I have that model and it's also a pretty nice case. Think I'll go ahead and jump on one as well. But I'm still looking for something in the Aegis/Commuter range for protection. Anyone seen either of these two floating around? For some reason, I'm just not feeling the Case Mate offering. Maybe I should re-think that!

Is it that same one as this one: http://www.amazon.com/S-Line-Shell-Samsung-Galaxy-Sprint/dp/B005U30660/ ?

Looks identical - I expect they all come from the same factory in any case. But why get it from amazon for $7.50 when you can get it on ebay for $2?

Just ordered my Epic Touch from Amazon yesterday (upgrading from an Evo 4G).. figured at this price, it'll at least be good enough to use until I find one that I like better... if I dont like this one

Whoo got the the case today and it feels amazing on the hands.
I sometimes think the phone is to thin and I can't grab it so well. I have used it for an hour now and I could already feel myself enjoying using my phone alot better.
The phone has some grooves on the sides that feels pretty snug and some what rugged.. Maybe it's so it doesn't slip out of your pocket. Which will benefit me since I use the phone for music and the gym alot.
Now I can lay my phone down on the counter with worrying about scratching the screen or the camera

REVIEW: Spigen Ultra Thin Series

Normally, SGP makes very high quality products and I was excited to see they had an orange case! Long story short, I ordered it and it was AWFUL. It does NOT fit the phone. I have some pictures attached - enjoy my white, hairy leg on one of them. I don't have much to say about it so I'll break things down quickly.
PRO'S:
Thin
Lightweight
Incredible Packaging
CONS:
Doesn't Fit
Feels extremely cheap
doesn't cover bottom or top of the phone
Did I mention it doesn't fit?
Picture's 1 & 2 are of the offending side of the case while Picture 3 shows the other side fitting perfectly.

Maybe you just got a bad one? I just put my silver Ultra Air on and I don't see what you're seeing in yours. Mines is a good fit

Always a possibility. Sent it back anyway

I should mention that I am using a glass screen protector but doesn't appear that the protector and the case even interact with one another so I don't really feel that is the issue.

Terrible news. But I'm still going to take my luck and buy it, it's one of the only cases that actually make the phone look better.

Has to be a defect, all my SGP cases fits like glove. They are really good with replacing defective items, you should try to get replacement instead of saying "Do NOT Buy".

If you are looking for an identical type case but it fits perfectly & has more grip, try Ringke Slim Lite. No lint collection... Will post pics if interested. Been using mine for a month now....

I was thinking about getting that, especially since they have an orange case. I have loved all of their cases. Great product. I purchased the Urban Gear case instead, which is really nice as well. Also, use the code FREESHIPPING and you'll have it in 2-3 days according to their website. I'm sure this is a Labor Day event.

Ya. Im really getting upset with Spigen lately. Their cases look so nice. I had the Glas screen protector and all it did was collect dust/hair on the sides of the protector so I removed it. I ordered the Neo Hybrid and the volume buttons wouldnt work, exchanged it and thankfully the new one worked. Now I order a mint green Ultra Thin case and the stupid thing doesnt fit, it is so loose on the left side. How does a company let so much garbage get to their customers? I mean, they do have a good customer service, but shouldnt someone check these things before they ship!?!?!
---------- Post added at 01:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:49 AM ----------
Oh and before you criticize me, Ive NEVER returned a case/accessory before dealing with Spigen. First time having a problem with a phone case.

Sgp customer support is really failing.. They don't even answer questions about their products via email or Facebook.. If my neo hybrid doesn't work properly when it arrives it will probably be the last product I'll be buying from them.

This seems to be a recent phenomenon. Maybe they are getting overloaded with all the defective products for the SGS3? They've had to redo screen protectors and discontinue products. I emailed them asking if they've made changes to the Neo Hybrid because of the button issue - no response yet. Sort of a shame that they are continuing to sell these things when the reviews on their very own site all say there is a defect. Hopefully yours will be the exception.
I've actually had better experiences with Cretouch, they seem to be on top of things and speak on behalf of SGP in a much quicker fashion.

Nilkin Cases Love these look awesome

I have these on my Nexus 4 and they rock feel and look awesome. Just order them for my HTC one. will report back. Usually about 1 or 2 weeks shipping.

i ordered mine last night, should receive it sometime this week!

is the power button cut out so we can use the IR blaster?

Look for pictures - in short yes the IR is fine.
It does not cover the whole phone. Back and sides. Top has a small notch for headphones trimmed out and bottom is open.
Most of these type of cases will always be that way. I think the POETIC case apparently had this issue.
How do you design a case and knowing all the specs and you forget about the IR ?

aaaand... back on topic.
Nice case! I'm still hunting down the perfect case; meanwhile I've just ordered a cheap transparent case for about £3.
I'm tempted by the Nilkin, but the fact that it doesn't protect the top and bottom is a bit off-putting.
Something like the double-dip hard case would be great for me, but I'm just not keen on the colours they used.
I rather like the look of the Urban Armor Gear cases though. I just wish they had it in this colour.

It is, very silky smooth on the sides.

Definitely less slippery than the phone would be on its own.

The sides of the Nillkin are the smooth rubbery coating like you would find on the back of some of HTC's older phones (ie S710). The back is textured with a pattern, so it isn't the same feeling as the sides. I would say it's definitely less slippery than the phone naked.

I don't know if you like to dig into facts most of the screen protectors come for some factory and are exactly the same even with variable prices from sellers on ebay and amazon. Buy cheapest one and expensive one. Test it out and realise.
American consumers look at price tags, many will recommend steinheil, ghost armor and all those , and when u end up buying a 50c one and compare, u will be surprised.

Thanks you very much news, I think Samsung mobile phone accessories, screen protector is very good, very clear, and does not give Lewis a bad cell phone traces remain under the protection membrane cleaning can still continue to use the , is a very good accessoriesz

amFilm makes some good and cheap units that you can get on Amazon, so I'd recommend you take a look. I think it's $5 or so for three.
