Anyone purchase this case in any color? Reviews seem real good and it has cut outs for all ports. I just ordered the white on eBay for 7 bucks. I'll update if anyone is interested to know more about it. If anyone owns this case a quick review would be great. Here's the link to the amazon one so everyone can look at the case.

I've got that exact one for my LTE Nexus w/ extended battery. Fits great, adds hardly any bulk plus it provides better grip than stock.
Awesome. You got the white or black? If white, for how long? Hoping the white doesn't go a yellowish tint like I've heard other white tpus get.

White. Only had it for a week but it hasn't turned yellow yet lol.
Is the fit really that good for the LTE? Can you take some up close pics of the screen edges please?
I will once I get mine. But all the reviews on the black on amazon give it real good ratings becuz of fit and cuts. I state black but they are both identical

It fits perfect. I have a LTE with extended battery. There is a slight lip so the screen won't touch anything when you lay it face down. No idea where my camera is so I can't take any pics.
is it just me, or do these seem exactly like the Diztronic but without the branding?
This is what it seems like to be honest. The diztronic without branding. I own a matte diztronic and I like it but I've been wanting a white case. Plus the case without the branding is a plus for me.

Thanks. Would appreciate if you can also mention the "bulk" it adds compared to the diztronics. Might be exactly same bulk, less, more... whichever it is, I'm curious to know.
I have both the Diztronic rev 3 case and the white cimo case. If you set the two cases side by side, you can not tell the difference, the Cimo case just does not have the emblem that is on the back. Minus that they are virtually identical. I have the matte black case for the diztronic and i would say that both these cases are the same, jus not branding on the cimo case.
Alright so I got my case today and to me its a diztronic without the icon on the back as mentioned. The case causes a lip so if placed face down on the screen, it will be lying on the case. Side by side they seemed identical as well, diztronic and this case that is.

I had this case for my GS2 and iPhone 4s and I got rid of my phones long before it started to sag. However, I plan to keep my GS3 for quite awhile.

As the name suggests, the Ultra Thin, is "ultra thin." If you want something slim, you should go with it or get the Neo Hybrid instead if you want more protection.
Well, SGP did mention they are either going to make it with TPU or semi-TPU, hopefully that's the case instead of silicone
I've had the Neo Hybrid for the SG2 but never had the sagging issue. I hope that's not the case cause I really like the feel of them. Will definitely get it when it is available.
the sagging issue is due to taking the phone out of the casing too frequently? as least that was what happened for me
the sagging issue should NOT be present in the S3 version according to SGP (in the YouTube video)... The representative or whatever commenting saying new material is being used that is stronger and will not sagg

I tried out a bumper case when I first got my S3. It was the Belkin version. To me it just didn't feel right. I don't think bumper cases work for this phone. Its not shaped right for it. The iPhone because it has flat sides. Our phones have too much curve.
I think you guys are right. I just bought the Belkin bumper today and it just feels odd on this phone.
I guess I'll be picking up a Neo Hybrid when they fix the button issue in a couple weeks.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
I placed an order for one, just to see how it feels since I never used a bumper case on S3. I'm guessing I will get it sometime next week with the "Surprise Gift" SGP is offering right now. I wonder what it is... i hope it's not another kuel stylus :/
@Hound88
SGP customer service told me button issues are fixed ONLY on Neo Hybrid - Jade Blue. Infinity White and the Rubine Red Color Series are suppose to be in stock later on this week.

Cool, let us know how you like it. Good news about the Neo in Jade Blue as it's the one I'll be ordering. What's the difference between the two Neo Hybrids? One is the Lumi which is not the one I want because I like the purple back better.

I agree. SGP is my favorite case company but they are really pissing me off with these color choices. My Nocturne Black Modello looks great and I would like to get a Neo Hybrid but they only have those bright and fruity colors. I know that Samsung was trying to be different when they chose their colors for the S3 but that doesn't mean that the case companies have to go that route too.

Hey Guys,
I've been very happy with a cheap Diztronics case, but the black is boring. I love the cyan lumia colour and have looked in vain for a matt cyan galaxy nexus case or any matt single colour cases really. If anyone has any suggestions it would be much appreciated.
Many Thanks

Teal Androidified case? Translucent however.
http://www.cruzerlite.com/cases/samsung/galaxy-nexus
Both of those are pretty good. I would definitely go with the Androidified one if only it wasn't translucent it seems like I've hit on a very niche case requirement. Might have to go with one of the custom case websites.
[Edit] this is almost exactly what I'm after but matt;

downfall is they are 35 bucks. i was hoping for $25. well if anyone gets one post up what you think of it. i want to know if these have any issues with the power button not having any click feel to it and or easy to press by accident
expensive !!
they are over priced ..
thats my opinion .
Finally! Now speck and tech21 have released cases and imo, they are the best brands out there!

Speck always over charges for their cases. They cater to the rich stupid iPhone people. And I agree the case colors they choose suck. I wanted a plain black one.
I do like the white and blue one but not for 35 bucks
Those color options are terrible.

This case is great for side and corner impacts, but the small lip hinders its face flat resistance.
My friend has this case on his sgs3, and I saw his phone drop onto our tile office floor and crack the screen, while in the case!
The floor did have a slightly raised edge, due to it being tile, but nothing a good case shouldn't have protected against.

I ordered this case and it should be here tomorrow. Sounds like it may continue using my Ballistic Aspira case if this one doesn't offer much protection.

^ sorry if my post seemed discouraging. I can only speak for the experiences I've seen with this case in an s3, which is 2 years old.
If the lip is a decent height, things should be fine if it falls facewards. Back and sides should be fine because of the thick plastic/rubber the case is made from. Let us k know how it fists!
