Same here. Only $3 bucks from ebay. It gives the feeling of more grip and a bit heavier to handle. The phone was very slippery and super light. Now its balanced

hi, can i have ebay link?

Melkco leather flip case jacka type..

Tpu gel cases for me..dun intend to spend big bucks on them since I be changing phone every 6 months.

I'm using a gloss white Barely There Casemate case, doesn't add much extra bulk and gives it some nice white lines along the sides.

Could you take some pictures of the Arc in the Barely There Casmate case? Seems to be the only case that will look okay for me, but would love to see some pics that are not made by the seller.

I saved the original battery cover and bought one from ebay that I use. The phone still looks new except that I need to replace the original screen protector.
I hope Arc replacement will better Nokia N9 in simplicity. I just got N9 and I find it makes my Arc look ugly :-(

Nillkin tpu case,very nice and good quality
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/150684503...03212&_sacat=See-All-Categories&_fvi=1&_rdc=1

is it really neccessary to have a leathercase when you're using a screenprotector SGP steinheil anyway? cos i lost mine.. -.-

i dont use any.. well because i dont want the phone's width to be increased
just a screen protector , nothing else..

SGP Ultra Silke is the best Silicon type case. Great texture, shock protection, and durability.
I bought the rubber jacket for my Vibrant from t-mobile. It's definately NOT the same material that most of there skins are made from. It's textured and does not get stuck in your pocket and get covered with lint like the smooth gel skin that is their norm.
I've dropped my phone (with no screen protector) a few times on various surfaces and the skin does it's job.
It's the same as this one, but in black (the blue shows off the texture):

Where are you buying those from? I have tried a few different types but am just not happy with them, either badly made or just plain don't care for them. Thanks!

3rd+4th row.
i bought a tpu case from ebay and its by far the best case i had. it keeps the phone nice and slim while holding the phone tight in place. the material is a little tougher than the silicone and imo feels better. as for screen protector i've gone from zagg invisible shield to cheap ones online to the ones at the retail stores and none of them are as good as realook. realook is so easy to put on and is basically air bubble proof(for me at least). it has a glass feel as if u hadnt put one on unlike the invisible shield, after awhile the invisible shield gets super rubbery and feels like crap. thats my 2¢
I have a case that I bought from daydeal.com, its a hybrid case made from hard plastic on the back and soft tpu on the sides, it pretty good.

thx for this info! found some awesome cases with what ive learned!

Opinion on cases?Silicone,TPU,hard,something else?

Hey there guys...i just ordered my s3 and i saw a few videos where the s3 screen breaks very easily!
I also read the silicone cases or the TPU ones provide excellent shock resistance so i'm thinking of buying one!
What do you think?Which case will provide more protection to my phones screen? (i'm only intrested on not breaking the screen,the scratches etc are lower priority...)
I also ordered an InvisibleShield not that it'll make much difference but i'm just sayin'...
For me.. Both!
There are some cases that has both soft (mostly tpu) and hard frames stacked together for better protection. I'm thinking getting SGP Neo Hybrid when it's released. I believe someone post this video somewhere. But, I couldn't find any image of it. I used it for my galaxy s2, and it was bomb.

I'm using one of the Rocks Sand series cases that I picked up locally for ~10 USD. Big fan of the texture, very easy to grip and it doesn't look bad at all with my pebble blue S3.
One of the biggest bonuses I think is that the headphone jack up top isn't obstructed as it was with some of the previous rubber cases I used with my S2. Headphones with right angle plugs had problems being inserted firmly.
I bought 3 ebay tpu cases for my galaxy s3 and they all have horrible fitment =(...stay away from them
Just got my first case. $5 and it feels like it. Very. Thin, has what appears to be decent grip on the side but hard to tell without the phone. I bought it for the kickstand but it feels pretty cheesy to say the least. It won't even hold itself straight up on its own. If it works well with the actual phone I'll take the time to update my feelings about it.

Any suggestions on a minimalistic case?

I have a Zagg invisible shield and I'm looking for a case that won't make the edges peel up. I'm not looking for too much protection just some extra grip.

Zoogue has some good ones. Just solid color tpu cases. The grey looks really good on many white S3. Best of all they are only $3 or $4.
New original samsung protective cover. I bought yesterday and it perfectly fits my realook whole screen SP. I'll post picture later. Plus this is extra slim and solid. Feels like without the case.

any pics? whats your mini review pro & cons of this one.. i just ordered it yesterday and want to know what i got myself into lol, im sure the OP wouldnt mind.
Diztronix is excellent fit, slim and covers all the sides. Most of the thin ones leave top and bottom uncovered. I have matte black one on black phone, and it looks like no case at all from front. (Front is shiny.)

Can also get them on Amazon and other places too.

I have this case, use is as my daily. SUUUUPER thin, would like a little more bump out for screen protection (it does have some, just not a lot). Have no complaints at all.
heres a review of it online
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EyQx6kWF7bA
I've used this Black Nillkin from day one.
- very low profile, Business/Executive look to it especially on my Blue S3
- really really nice premium hard rigid rubber feel (rigid like plastic but TPU feel)
- snaps on and off easily
- very tight and perfect fit especially nice rear cutouts
- cross hatch backside shows no finger prints or grease
- S3 is easier to hold but slips in and out of pocket easily as well
- top side lips are lo pro and hug nicely
- under $10 on ebay...search Nillkin S3
For what this case is supposed to do, I give it 10 out of 10.
It will never provide maximum protection and is not meant to do this.

yeah that one, the neo hybrid is good because it is tpu and hard case in one, which offers better protection. And is relatively slim. I would not recommend ultra thin or ultra fit cases from spigen or ringke. I used these cases and they scratched the hell out of my phone.
If I could start from scratch, I would get a neo hybrid
wonder what matches better with black N5, the slate or silver
Spigen Slim Armor
Awesome Case! The issues for the power button have been resolved, they sent two rubber case interiors.

What type of protection/case are you looking for?
Minimal (slim/hardshells, just for scratch/light bump protection only, nudist approved)
Full body/thin (TPU cases generally, for bumps and light drops)
Full body/little more lovin (usually a combo of TPU/hard shell, can take a light fall, but it shows and let you know the risks)
Full body/full lovin (thick and soft ala otterbox, for the clumsy folk, takes a beating and asks for more).
I bought this one at Amazon. Decided to cut a hole in the front so when you open it, you can still take a picture. Works well, has magnetic on/off (which I didn't know the N5 had). Be warned, there is 1/16" plastic in the front cover that is very hard. Case with hole:

Neo hybrid is not slim. That thing makes the phone very wide. If you want slim with good protection either get the diztronic case or the cruzerlite case.

+1 for Diztronic. super slim and sleek. cheap and good quality. won't stop a bullet but it'll protect against scuffs
Any way to get warranty on this phone? Like some kind of accidental warranty

Using the Diztronic tpu case. Really slim and keeps the curve of the phone. The neo hybrid squares off the phone and makes it seem bigger.

and i also ordered this to fit with... my precious will be more precious
What are the best skins for htc one ? i don't like slick wraps...
IMO dbrand has the best fit and quality. You can order customs from them as well if you can manage to fit in their busy schedule. I've ordered two customs from them so far and love it. I want a new one but they've been so busy lately.
yes i have the brushed aluminium excellent looks great just ordered the titanium .

Looks good and the HTC alignment looks spot on too. I bought some skins from Luckyskins.com and the HTC alignment was not good at all.
Side note, if you really wanted to pair the skin with the Spigen, you should've left the left and right sides bare. There's a good chance the Spigen case will peel the side skins back otherwise. Those crystal cases tend to be a very tight fit with a bare phone, I've never had good luck stuffing a skinned phone into them.
