I went with the Otterbox Defender. I don't have the problem of it being too slippery like some others have had. The belt clip is a little clumsy but it goes well when I attach it to my purse. This case is not suitable if you have a 3rd party battery that requires a different backing.
I the "kickstand" also a belt clip? It's hard to tell in the pictures.
Thanks!
The holster has a belt clip that swivels.

I had complaints about my Commuter case being slippery.
I originally considered the Seidio kickstand model until I read the reviews, so I ended up ordering the blue combo without one for $33 shipped (although some have had holster issues [e.g. broken clips/catching on silicone top] with this model).
In the end, I wanted something that didn't add a lot of bulk, offered 'reasonable' protection, looked attractive and could be easily holstered.
Not perfect, but giving it a shot.
For those keeping score, I am loving the Seidio Active Combo.......
My previous Incipio was very similar, but the color scheme of the Seidio works much better with my Pebble Blue S3. Just really looks sharp and gives better access to the S3 buttons.
BTW, if you have an Incipio Dual Pro, the Seidio holster would work fine with it.
The only downside.... The Seidio Active seems to be a bit more slippery than the Incipio Dual pro, although longer term I don't see this as an issue.
Yeah, the Kickstarter got their funding, very pumped to get this when they ship!
A lot of these cases, including this one (assuming you put credit cards in it), will prevent your NFC chip from working. No Google Wallet, no NFC tags, no s-beam. Not a big deal if you don't care about that, but you may want to take that into consideration.

I was wondering what your guys' thoughts are on the iskin aura? I really like the look of it but I'm a little concerned that it doesn't actually provide any protection (I'm a little worried about dropping the phone, less so about scratching the back plate).
Has anyone had any experience with this case? I saw a few posts about it but not much discussion.
Alternatively, can anyone recommend a similarly slim and stylish case with better impact protection? I realize cases like the otterbox and UAG are really strong but I don't like the look and bulkiness (I'm only concerned about protection to a certain extent).

Thanks for the heads up, I hadn't considered that. I haven't got into the NFC tags yet, but want to eventually. I more bummed that I'm going to miss my extended battery - gotten use to only recharging every couple days or so/ and-or not worrying about how much I use at any given time.
Anyoen else also using Acase Superleggera Pro (Policarbonate + Silicon) or the Boxwave Duosuite (TPU) Cases? I have them both and prefer the Acase case. It adds more bulk but it seems to offer more protection in case of a fall, but the boxwave does look better...
What do you guys think? Does the Boxwave TPU case offer enough protection when falling on the ground?
I got the white flip case but found it was a bit of a problem when shooting video it gets in the way so I don't use a case any more or screen protectors

I have the Acase and I prefer the dual protection. I keep considering going back to TPU (I had it for my old phone and LOVED it) because of it's thinness and how cheap they are but I'm just afraid of getting a cracked screen. I'm not a clumsy person, but just in case, I'd rather have the dual protection. I've never broken any of my phones but this one's just too fancy to leave it to chance

I have the Otter box Defender for my SGHT999V. It does not feel slippery to me. Does feel a bit heavy but that's alright. The only downside is my case does not have a belt clip and a protective screen cover.
Can anyone recommend a case with protective screen cover(covers the whole screen . I am not just looking for a plastic film) and belt clip. I am looking for something like Seidio Obex waterproof case but a bit cheaper.
I wanted to chime in here. I saw the below case here in this thread. I picked one up off of Amazon.com and it came today. I must say, this thing is pretty sweet. It's chunky but I didn't buy it for its size. I have an everyday case I use for that. It's not as thick as I thought it was going to be. It charges the phone quite quickly. It also adds protection to the screen as well as adding a kickstand. If you're heading off somewhere where you won't have an outlet this is a great case to have. I like the kickstand for watching movies, etc... For the price this is definitely a case to have!! Even if it's not your everyday case.

I'm also not clumsy but just in case I prefer the acase superleggera pro, it doesn't look bad also. What did you think of the boxwave duosuite case, would you buy it?

Like the spigen curved crystal screen protector? It's what I have and I believe it's the best out there
I wish more reviewers of cases and screen protectors would wait two weeks before posting reviews. Especially all the guys on YouTube. Opening a box and giving a review is a waste of my time.
The Seidio Obex looks like it has a lot of potential, and after it is released I want to see reviews based on day to day usability and comfort, scratch resistance, and durability. Not an un-boxing review. I find the majority of online reviews to be useless first impressions.
Can anyone direct me towards some quality reviewers?

I just received my Acase yesterday and it seems well built as well as offering some protection in a not too bulky case. Time will tell how sturdy it is but I'm generally not too hard on my cell phones.
*I have read through this thread, but cannot tell from descriptions or pictures if the cases are what I want*
Ok, I am looking for a case that is a little more form fitting and slim than my Speck Candyshell I bought when I first got the phone. This thing is just to bulky and gets scratched up and ugly. I need something that would look good with blue. Protection is also very important. I hate rubber cases, and would rather have a hardcase.
I'm loving my Otterbox Defender! I did take the screen protector out, and after removing that part it's perfect for what I needed. Yes it's bigger than most of the cases available, however I really like how much easier it is to hold with one hand...no slip and drop. :-)
Does anyone have the official Samsung GS3 flip case? I quite like the look of it and the style is quite unusual. My only worry is that it looks a little flimsy.

I have it, I like it but I have to warn you, if you drop the phone it does NOTHING to prevent the phone from being damaged. My phone has a dent in the top corner and is missing part of the paint on the front of the screen around the camera. It looks nice and feels good in the hand, but the front doesn't stay closed on it's own so it can open in your bag and rub up against anything in there.
Personally, I wish I had spent the $40 on a proper case similar to the blackberry leather cases.
I'm looking for a case for my S3 and I want the following:
-hard plastic case (prefer not to have silicone but a combo may work depending on how it's put together)
-belt clip for case/phone to snap into
I'm considering the Otterbox Defender and Ballistic SG Maxx. Are there any others out there I should put on the list? The two above have a bunch of silicone and this tends to stick inside my pants pocket when I try to remove the phone (when I'm not using the belt clip).

Have you considered the seidio convert combo? It's $30 on buy.com.

Just purchased a s3 looking through this forum, but not getting a clear answer, which case is recommended for best protection with least bulk? Price does not matter I am not gonna cheap out as I do often drop my phone and work in a industrial environment.
If you drop your phone often, then you shouldn't think about getting a case with the least bulk. Those are opposing goals. The Otterbox Defender is a popular case around here that has lots of protection.
You can get cases that are thinner but that have lots of grippy surfaces so you will hold onto it better. Maybe someone can suggest one. (My case is the grey-and-black Speck CandyShell for $18 from Amazon, but it's very smooth and only grippy around the front rim.) But i think you are risking more when you drop a phone in a thinner case.
I'm also not clumsy but just in case I prefer the acase superleggera pro, it doesn't look bad also. What did you think of the boxwave duosuite case, would you buy it?
I think I came across it but decided I wanted the silicone protection. In my opinion, I think the softer silicone interior paired with the hard outer provides more protection. More shock absorption. Just my opinion though and my very little knowledge of physics
OEM Flip cover case-Like it, but it basically makes one handed operation impossible.
Rock Big City Flip Case-Feels nice, and it is good that you don't have to replace the back battery cover like the OEM Flip cover, but again it limits one handed operation.
I decided on the Seidio Surface with holster for its minimalist design and will at some point in the future buy their Convert add on which bulks the Surface up for rough play.

I'm considering this route as well, because i really would prefer a blue surface case. I'm keeping an eye for the convert add-on to become available from third party sellers and not just direct from seidio.
I have another month or so before I'll need a new screen protector, and i figure I'll get them together.

I'm also waiting for the Convert add on to become available though other sellers or for Seidio to have a nice sale (20% or higher - perhaps Black Frėday.
Cannot recommend MediaDevil case enough . Excellent Fit, Stunning designs by an artist called HIDDEN MOVES, the case is a very simliar material to the galaxy s3 which makes it feel like i dont even have a case on. Order them from amazon
I'm hoping these guys get enough to make these a reality. I don't like the ones where the cards are rubbing the screen, and the only other one I've seen has only 1 card slot on the back.
I agree with you about the cards rubbing on the screen and that is why I like them and the quality seems nice do you have one yet?? I couldnt find any reviews so they must be very newbut Im prob gonna order one in the next few days because it seems like a great idea for a case!

.... because I'm cheap 
. I also prefer Amazon though, merchandise usually ships faster through Amazon.
