GS3 Case discussion thread

Check out Seido.com

They have a great case/holster combo. The case is about as this as I've seen that fits into a holster. It's not so much the case or the holster, but rather the way they work so smoothlyTheir case/holster has a very smooth, one hand click operation. Oh, and very lint resistant

+1 for the Seidio case/holster. I have had them for my last 2 phones and they are thin but protective. They are very good quality and are easy to use 1 handed. Good grip but slides easy into pocket and no lint.

So going with the otterbox defender.

Nillkin Hard Case Cover Shield + LCD Guard 4 Samsung i9300 Galaxy S III S3 SIII | eBay

Ordered one of these as it's so cheap, thanks. I'm going to get one of the Samsung official thin clear cases or something like that too and see which I prefer.

 

[matttye]

Nice find, looks really good, I am definitely going to think about getting me one too.

Also, does anyone have prior experience with full body screen protectors? How do they compare with a case? Like how much protection does it offer vs a case? I am considering one to keep the form factor slim.

I prefer the look of this one now:

Genuine Samsung S3 Slim Case - White - EFC-1G6SWEC - Twin Pack

It practically doesn't change the look of the phone, but still adds a level of protection to the back.

Has anyone seen a clear case that is more a soft rubber? I just have had hard cases get dirt in them and scratch the crap out of my phone.

My post above yours is a rubber clear case It's not released yet, but I think it should be any day. There were lots of accessories on mobilefun that said "not released" about two days ago that are now "in stock."

I wanted this too but with a kickstand.

Roughly $23. You may be able to find it cheaper elsewhere or locally to you.

Does anybody know if the white Case Mate Barely There is matte like the black ones? I like the soft grippy feel of the black ones I had on my Desire and S2.

I like seeing the back of the phone, so I'm considering getting one of these aircraft grade aluminum bumpers (GS3 version coming soon)

Mine is glossy.

One I have got that I really love is the red Incipio Feather case.

After doing some research over the weekend I'm definitely going to buy a Diztronic TPU case for my GSIII, website says they'll be in stock on the 18th

That is a damn fine looking bumper case.

Tons of cases on eBay. I already have a thin, white rubberized hard case for mine.

What do I search for on eBay for the that one, and do they have diff colors.

The phone is already big so wondering if I should get an ottetbox or not

 

[Midcoast]

This phone has a monster screen that will eat a lot of battery quickly. Will Mophie or Power skin come out with a battery case?

I get better battery life than my old GS2 by far.

It's made by Nillken.

Waiting on the Ballistic SG Maxx case. I have a Shell Gell case for the nexus now and love it. I drop my Phone A Lot. This case increases the survival probability greatly.

That looks cool :thumb: . I always felt it was silly to get an expensive case. How much gerth does it add? I have a Seidio active case on my Thunderbolt, and it really makes it bulky. Im looking for something a little thinner this time around. The Otterbox, id imagine, would be bulky too.

I'm waiting for this:

Crystal Case For Samsung Galaxy S3

Love the look of the S3 as it is, so it's ideal

Id get this but that would get dirty real quick(you'll see all the dirt and lint accumulate). I'll just opt for a typical silicone case(i guess as close to blue as possible) in the same theory in mind. Won't ever get the hard snap on type cases since those tend to lose their "snap on" capabilities rendering them essentially useless within a few months time.
One piece cases>More than one piece cases

 

[kmoore11]

Yes. I have it and I really like it. I also like the design. Looks classy.

If you were to drop it face down, this case would stop the screen for hitting the ground, right?

Well, if the surface where it falls is leveled, than yes, it would. That isn't the case if it falls on a rough surface. To gain that kind of protection, you need a screen protector as well.
