GS3 Case discussion thread

I have this clear Cruzerlite Androidified A2 case on my blue s3:

HOWEVER, my holes line up just fine (that's what she said) unlike that bad case the dude in the video has. Overall looks nice. There is a funny issue that you can see in the video where the totally clear parts adhere to the back of the phone in a sort-of blotchy way in some areas - but it isn't that bad.

Found a great price for those who are looking at getting a Otterbox Defender case.

Was tooling around on amazon looking for a sleek case for my gs3 when it arrives and found that amazon dropped its price to 34.99 with free prime shipping (might have to manually select amazon as seller as SGP pops up first)

Acase Supperleggera PRO case. It's exactly the same as the Seidio Active case. And it's $12 shipped on Amazon. Here is a video of it on the iPhone 4S because there are no such videos for the S3 yet. Best deal out there.

just got my Surface as well. the lip is great at protecting the curved glass. The cut down size of the Steinheil Ultra Nano ends up being right at the edge of the Surface, so perfect.

I dropped my SGS2 in a surface case, face down from waist high to smooth concrete. I was chasing our 2 yr old around a store and just missed my holster. Anyway, it bounced corner to corner, face down about 3 times. No damage.

They do feel slippery at first, but after you use them alittle, they get a more grippy.

Can you tell us if the lip is going to interfere with the screen protector? I am worried about finding a case that has a lip but doesn't push the screen protector up. Thanks.

Hey guys, just thought to share

I've ordered this cover for my S3, by far used it a week and loving it

It has carbon fibre effect which looks great, its not a case just a cover from scratches it doesnt come off easily so it sticks there great


try this website, has some good stuff for S3 & other phones

got to admit, on white phone white carbon fibre effect looks awsome!

Has anybody tried these cases before? I have seen the demo and pretty impressive. I think Tmobile OEM the cases. They use D3O impact technology and really protect phone when dropped or thrown..

 

[RusskiyParen]

is this a rubber ? or plastic ? rubber usually is great for cases, has a nice feel to it plus protects your phone reasonably

This is 2 types of materials.

Ohh even better, actually yesterday i was buying a screen protector and came across a case for S3 that has a nice wave effect of plastic + rubber so on one side is hard( which is good to hold in your right hand) and other has nice rubber touch, so best of both worlds, this is an example but for S3 its half this half that not 70+30 like on this picture and its transparent )

The "aluminum" case I was talking about can be found HERE.

I left neutral feedback without contacting the seller, stating the item was not as portrayed. Later that day I got an email from the seller saying they never got an email from expressing my dissatisfaction. Um, that's because I was already screwed. False advertisement is false advertisement. How do you fix that after the fact?

Now, the seller has changed the word "aluminum" to "metal." The case is clearly not METAL of any kind. I'm guessing this seller is trying to hide behind their limited English proficiency. I suspect this seller knows exactly what they are doing, though, hoping people find "metal" and buy one. And when the buyer realizes it's a plastic case, they'll decide negative feedback is not worth the hassle. Well, negative feedback is what keeps ebay sellers honest. I hope so, anyway.

Anyway, they did offer to refund my money if I agree to change my feedback. I think I'll take them up on their offer and still state the item was not as advertised. But they'll get their stars...

Hmmm...You are FAR more forgiving than I am. This case absolutely deserves negative feedback, not neutral. For less than 4 bucks I would tell them to stuff their refund and change your neutral feedback to negative. They are intentionally lying about their case and they refuse to correct it. I suspect that most people are like me and generally only read the neutral and negative reviews. If you switch yours to a positive review the people who are like me won't ever get your message and they will keep getting away with ripping people off.

Fair enough, Benny. They haven't gotten back to me yet, so there's no guarantee that they will. But I suppose honesty is worth not getting my $4 back. I'll probably leave my feedback alone, or change it to negative and tell the truth about how deceptive the seller is being.

I'm new to this ebay thing and I suppose honesty is the best policy there, as it is in real life.

'Lego Blocks' case

Absolutely in love with the lego cases!!! Which one(s) did you get?

 

[KO iNfAmOuS]

I will let you know as soon as I get it From what I can see it is enough bulk to adequately protect your phone, but keep it slim. I will post pictures and the like once my phone and case have arrived, but I'm speaking from the reviews on Amazon and my opinion on what I saw in the video.

I like Speck cases, too, and I'm thinking about getting this one...

Mine just came in the mail, ordered it on Amazon for $30.50 with Prime. Got the white/pink one.

Feels really good in the hand (granted I don't have the phone yet) but my biggest concern was bulk and this is thinner than my Incredible (og) both with its case and naked. Very excited.

It's not bad, but its far from sexy. If you're looking for protection over looks the Superleggera is a great case for the $$$. My phone is nowhere in sight, but this is one nice case.

does it actually work with lego?

 

[tanj92]

just got the diztronic case. very nice case and has a smooth feel to it although there isnt much grip! best $10 spent!!

 

[mak916]

I spent about a half hour today on Ebay looking at different cases. I really love the fact there so many different cases for this phone. I have three cases already. I ordered three more today. I most likely am going to order at least ten more before the end of Summer. My the last phone the HTC EVO 3D I only had about six cases for it. I know with this phone I will end up with over 30 cases. I'll be sporting a different case everyday. lol. The prices on the cases make it hard not to buy them.
