Hey guys,
I have the rubber case that tmobile sold originally and I have the case from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=772826
besides the above 2, that I already have, case mate, and otterbox what are some other options?
A friend of mine has a Fascinate and he has a case that is pretty good looking. It feels a little harder, but does not offer as much protection as it does not cover the top or bottem edges. Do we have something similiar?
or what other cases do you guys have or reccommend besides what I listed above?
Try looking at the TPU cases
isn't the one in my link, that i already have, TPU?
that one is different...its harder than a TPU case, almost like bendable plastic
try this one

Try a Cyclops case great protection but its extremely thicker.

You try to find it on ebay, I think you 'll find a variety of rubber case for your device and the price is quite affordable
I got my girlfriend a Amzer TPU case, I have the same kind on my Tbolt

I bought a $4 silicone case from amazon that seems to be working quite well. It doesnt quite fit as snug as I'd like though, but it keeps the profile small and its easy to get out of my pocket.
Case
Yeah..i think silicon case is better..
I am now using a soft pouch, I think it's better than a silicone case because it protects also the screen and it's not "sticky" like silicone cases are (I always found difficult to put the phone into the jeans' pocket when I am sitting if I use a TPU case)... You could try a pouch and see if you like it
Thanks for the ideas on cases. I have thought about getting one but never sure which are cheap and rip easy or whatnot.

How fat is it? I have a rubber case also but I don't consider it fat. I have not seen any case for this phone also.

I bought a $7 silicone case from my local ATT store and this thing is the best. It fits nice and snug, and is easy to remove if need be. Of course, I wear carpenter jeans so the slight stickiness doesn't bother me. AFAIK tho, I believe they stopped selling it in my area so that may be the case everywhere.
These three cases look nice! Does anyone have them? Which is best?
Amzer Silicone Skin Jelly Case
EMPIRE Black Rubberized Hard Cover Crystal Case

I have the HTC TPU Skin Case - very nice.
Text of test.
I have black rubber case. I love it.
So currently I have a cheap case I bought on ebay and it's messing up my invisibleshield on the sides. Whenever I grip the sides it pushes up against the shield and dust gets in there.
I'm considering buying a new case but I'm not sure what one to get so it won't mess up the shield. Anyone have any ideas? I was thinking the tpu case but I'm not sure. What do you guys think?

Hands down the best cases you can get for your phone at the TPU fusion cases. All TPU cases are great, but the TPU fusion just has a slightly higher level of detail.
There is a thread in this section about the TPU fusion cases that also has an online coupon code for like 10% off their already really cheap price.
I would link but I'm feeling lazy today. Happy hunting

I agree! Best case I've used so far (and I've used silicone, tpu, trident cyclops, and the aegis). Thing rocks and really does protect

Used to have more colors but now only have black, clear and red.
Act quick!
I originally bought the black gel skin from T-Mobile when I bought my phone. It was a lint magnet, though, and it added a significant amount of bulk to the phone. So I ended up buying a translucent smoke colored TPU case, OEM HTC variety, from Amazon. It's nice, feels good, looks good, has cutouts for all the buttons (so they aren't hard to press like some TPU cases) and doesn't add a huge amount of bulk to the phone, while also making it easier to hold onto.
I have used the Otterbox Commuter and the TPU Fusion case. I switch between the two. Plus they both protect the phone well and fit inside of my Seidio holster.
Trident aegis case FTW

Is the Seidio holster you're using the standard one for the MT4G? Or did you have to use a larger size? I'm looking for a good case to replace the Seidio one I'm currently using, but I like the design of the Seidio holster...

As previously stated, the trident case is very good, but if your not willing to spend the money you can go for the TPU fusion. Its cheaper, and still has a modern look to it.

lol this seems like itll feel weird, especially in the pocket
the TPU Fusion case is the best ive seen..
the regular silicone cases are nice too but the rubber is so grip-y that its hard to pull the phone out of the pocket lol
The trident case looks great I'm going to order it.
my sister has the TPU case and i think im going to pick one up they look great and feel good in the hands.
I bought this. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004K575E0/ref=oh_o02_s00_i01_details
It's not so much a case IMO but more of a glove. The phone remains extremely slim still and its pretty stiff.

Try the Otterbox Commuter case. It's fairly cheap for a otterbox, and it looks like it'd be a good case that would work well with invisishield,
Hey guys,
I am looking into buying a case now, and after looking through some threads here, I think I will pick one of these three:
Diztronic TPU case: http://www.amazon.com/Diztronic-Flexible-Protector-International-Packaging/dp/B0089F49P0/ref=?ie=UTF8&m=A2HOCXU5SC35JO
Ringke Slim Lite: http://www.rearthusa.com/galaxy_s3_slim_lite_kit
Incipio Silicrylic: http://www.amazon.com/Incipio-SA-302-Silicrylic-Silicone-Samsung/dp/B0085VAP38/ref=sr_1_1_m?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1342098764&sr=1-1&keywords=galaxy+s3+incipio
The most important thing for a case to me is drop protection, followed by thinness.
I have heard good things about all these cases, so I feel that I can't go wrong, but I'm having a hard time choosing.
Also, if you know of any other cases that you really like and offer good drop protection.. let me know
Edit: Looks like I'll go with the Incipio.. Thanks for the replies

If drop protection is top on you list then take the Rearth off the list. TPU is quite hard when compared to silicone, in a drop test the Silicrylic case will not doubt be much better.

+1 I currently use the Ringke but only because it's thin and provides enough protection to prevent scratches while still preserving the beauty of the device. I also have the Diztronic tpu and it should provide enough protection for low drops.

My silicrylic and my gs3 both showed up yesterday.
The case is very nice and definitely offers drop protection. The silicone doesn't seem to attract dust and lint like I thought it would.
I used to have a seidio active on my evo 3d which is the same type of case, so I thought I knew what to expect. I have to say though the incipio case is much nicer than the seidio case was. It is very sleek for what it is and the silicone isn't at all tacky like the seidio case was. It is very smooth and slides in and out of a pocket very nicely.
The all black looks nice on my blue gs3 too which is great.
I basically bought this case for times I may want a little extra protection, but I am so happy with it I think I will use it as my primary case. Fyi I ordered from Amazon and it only cost me $17 shipped.
I'm liking that incipio
I have this casemate one because it was all I could find the second day I had the phone. They come in all black now
Definitely buy the Incipio Silicrylic.
I have actually bought all 3 types of cases for my S3 that you listed in your OP, so my opinion matters more than these other guys! j/k -- 1) TPU (Cruzerlite ($10); similar to Diztronic and $1 versions on ebay); 2) Hard polycarb shell (Rock Quicksand ($10); similar to rinke); 3) Hybrid (Incipio ($18)).
After trying all the cases on, I can only recommend the Incipio if you care anything at all about protecting your phone, while looking good, and without adding as much bulk as an otterbox. The Incipio's Silicone sides and the hard case itself is also grippier than the others, and doesn't attract lint at all like my $0.99 silicone lint magnet on my old Captivate.
(Throw the screen protector that comes with the Incipio away, though. Crap quality)
I have the incipio and like it a lot...tried a letterbox commuter but took it back because I liked the incipio that much better...

Another vote for incipio :good:
I dunno, if thinness is number 2 you should stay far away from the incipio. It is definitely a fatty.
I say just suck it up and get the ringke or diztronic and just be more careful.
Look no further!!!
Seriously... you should +1 this ish.

The Incipio is an excellent choice. I bought all three and find the Incipio to be far superior, mostly due to protection capabilities.

I love my Incipio Silicrylic White/Gray case, but I just ordered an Otterbox Defender for the times when I feel I need a little added protection.
The only thing I don't like about the Incipio Silicrylic is that it doesn't have quite as much grip on the hard shell as I expected it to. Otherwise, it looks great, seems to protect well (though I haven't dropped it yet, and don't plan to), and doesn't gather lint.
If I wasn't so afraid of the phone slipping out of my pocket, like my iPod does all the time, I wouldn't even use a case.
But, a good case is a lot cheaper than total protection insurance. It costs more over the course of 2 years with deductible than I originally paid for the phone with contract. An an Otterbox Defender only costs $30-$50.
My vote is for the incipio
If you don't mind the extra bulk and want the peace of mind stick with the defender. The bulk is not bad, and it makes the phone feel like it's made of more premium material, I own it and it's great!

Get the Incipio. The Otterbox and Trident cases can withstand more torture but let's be honest here. Going with one of them turns a beautiful phone into one ugly ass crack whore.

Which do you want?

larger but good protection
bulky but really good protection
You have to choose from these. All but #4 can look pretty darned nice. Anything in #4 tends to look big but not necessarily ugly.
If you want #1, then go look at the Rock Quicksand case. There are others like this as well.
If you want #2, go to eBay and look up any TPU case or check out CruserLite's cases (the Persona cases are better than their Androidified cases for the Galaxy S3).
If you want #3, there are a number of options such as the Otterbox Commuter, Incipio Silicrylic, and several others.
If you want #4, there's the Otterbox Defender and I think a few more (that I'm not familiar with).
Those would be the cases I'd suggest you start looking at. Then go find alternatives and learn more about what's out there. There is a TON of info in the Accessories forum!
The snap on cases from ebay are stellar
UAG Urban Armor for medium protection. The case looks great & it offers great 4 corner protection with a good enough lip in the front.
I have the real tree camo otterbox defender and love it

Got the Rock case and I like it cause of the feel and grip it adds to my phone so I might not drop it, but it doesn't do much for protection lol. I just wanted a case to give feeling to my phone instead of plasticy. I've dropped it once with the case about 3 feet onto tile and I didn't get a scratch so it does some good.

I'm using a ballistic case I got off amazon. No complaints what so ever. Nice looking with great protection. If you don't mind a bit of bolk, you can't go wrong with it. Check out the ballistic drop test for the gs3 on YouTube.
TrioBump by Gimmick5, great minimalist aluminum bumper offering protection where it is needed most!
The urban armour one is pretty sweet by my favorite so far is the dba ultra case

+1 on the cruiserlite androidified, bought on amazon and they actually sent me 2. Luckily, the only 2 times I HAVE dropped it, in the same day no less, it worked wonderfully. Pretty light, minimal, and just the right amount of protection. Ever bounce a rollerblade wheel off the ground? Pretty similar.
