Any spot a transparent case for our phones? - Galaxy S III Accessories

I want to get a case for this phone but I'm not feeling the black and blue look that seems to be the option I've seen. Since I doubt we'll see a case that can match the color blue I was wondering if anyone has spotted a transparent one.

If you're looking for a clear case, you really have 2 options:
- Plastic
- TPU
The plastic options out there are endless. As you already saw on ebay, there are a plethora of manufacturers who crank these out that you can get for dirt cheap. In my experience though, as with anything in life, you get what you pay for. They usually add a good deal of bulk and scratch pretty easily. Also, consider these "single use". Drop them once and they're pretty much done
TPU cases are a great option. You can usually get these for pretty cheap as well and add less bulk than plastic. But I usually find that the "clear" options are more semi-transparent rather than completely see-through and have a frosted look. If you have the white GSIII, it'll look perfect but i imagine that it won't look so great on the pebble blue (which is what i have). Another downside of "clear" TPU is that they pick up dyes from fabrics very easily. If you wear jeans everyday like I do, after about a month or so you'll see the case slowly start to stain blue.
For my new GSIII, I decided to give this badboy a shot:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0082P8K6G/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i01
A little pricey for a plastic shell but it seemed to minimize bulk and will look good with the pebble blue version

I feel dumb now. I guess when I had done the search for cases I put specifically for the t999 and forgot they were all compatible with each other.the only ones that kept popping up were black ones. Thank you for the help guys. Just ordered ones of the tpu cases

I had that exact same case for my GSII.
I loved the textured side grips and the unique S wave in the back. My only small gripe was that it was a little bulkier than other TPU chases I've had. Overall, I'm sure you'll be happy

I just ordered this bundle: http://www.amazon.com/Fosmon-Bundle...391486&sr=8-20&keywords=galaxy+s3+accessories

I have pretty much the same one. Mine just says "JKase." It's a good case. Looks cool, adds good grip, and it's more like soft plastic than silicon. Doesn't add a ton of protection, but it keeps the back safe from basic stuff. I'd recommend it. Better than carrying an OtterBox brick around.
I have an unnamed 1. Fits perfectly. Easy access to everything. Makes the volume & power buttons easier to press but less tactile. Can still be used with a Kidigi docking station without having to remove the case. Also stops the phone from slipping when propping it up on shiny surfaces.

Gotta find a transparent one. I love seeing the VM and Beats logos, but the clear one is a little... I can't put my finger on it. Almost feels childish.

I know what you mean. I've only had mine for 2 weeks, and it's turning yellow.
i'm using a tpu hybrid case, sides of the case are tpu and the back of the case is a hard plastic, overall it's pretty good. But because the back is solid plastic it slides around on a hard surface.

These are the same as the one I ordered on ebay. Mine was a smokey grey color, with access to all buttons and the LED notification light was bright enough to shine through the gel case with ease.
Highly recommended style of case for the HOV ^_^
I have a purple JKase and it adds grip and has protected my phone quite well from a number of falls.
I also purchased a much bigger case with a kick-stand and this one however has an even better grip (probably because it doubles the phone's thickness and adds significantly to all its other dimensions.

Case Mate Phantom Case is available in different colors now

It looks like a protective case with bulkiness and i'ts now availbel in different colors. Only black was available when I checked last time, and now it comes in pink, navy and another kind of black. Navy would look the best for the pebble blue phone.
That looks bad ass as long as it comes with a clip. Didn't see it mentioned tho

$50.00 and no belt clip????????????, HELL NO!!!!!!!
How do you think it will compare to the Otterbox Defender?
Interesting design. I would be down to try one... For about half what they are asking. $50 are you kidding me?
yeah $50 is pretty expensive for a case like that. I think they are just branding that case just like Otterbox cases in a look and the price! I 'm not interested in this case, anyway. I'm more looking into some cases in slim and thin designs, but as many people look for "protective" case, some people might be interested in this case! Still wanna see some reviews on it!
Honestly I find CM offerings way overpriced, especially considering what you get.
I purchased Case-Mate Phantom case.
However like review from olis (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tk3SpvJ54ko) the buttons doesn't work properly and it hard to press.
But I managed to fix it, here the video:

Elago Breath Cases GS3 White & Blue pictured on white GS3

Hey guys I ordered two Elago Breathe Cases for the GS3 from Amazon. I purchased the Glossy White as well as a blue called Glossy Coral. They cost $9.99 each and since I have prime I got two day shipping for free. Here is the direct link for the cases for the GS3:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aag/main?ie=UTF8&asin=&isAmazonFulfilled=1&isCBA=&marketplaceID=ATVPDKIKX0DER&seller=A23S71QXDZCPQA
I purchased the white one for myself and the blue one for my girlfriend. The cases are very thin and sleek. They feel great in the hand and do not add extra bulk to the phone. The top and bottom of the case is open so you wont get overall protection there, so be careful when handling it and not dropping it. There is a slight lip, but I don't think that it will keep the phone raised up enough off a surface if you lay the phone flat on the screen side. I would definitely recommend putting a screen protector on to be combined with this case. I had already purchased a screen protector the day I picked up the phone from the store, however Elago actually sells the case together with a screen protector from amazon as well. The prices for the two combined are $24.99, and the screen protectors from Elago are $8.99 alone. There are cut outs on the sides for the power button and the volume rocker. I feel that the cut outs aren't recessed enough, and your made aware of it however it does not bother me too much. Overall I am very happy with the cases especially for the price. I would definitely buy from Elago again, and I do like the variety of colors that they offer the cases in. I like the Breathe style because they are different than all of these other snap on thin cases and make the phone stand out more. I took some pics from various angles with both cases on the phone and off the phone with my dslr so you guys can take a look for yourselves.
nice review. how well does the phone stay in the case though? i've been hesitant with snap on cases because i'm afraid the phone will come out of it.
are they grippy or are they still really smooth? I am planning on getting a case only because the phone is so smooth i know i'm going to drop it eventually.
It's a great looking case though!

Thanks! The phone is snug within the case. It hasn't come out of the phone. It fell earlier today, and the case popped off but i've had that happen with other cases though. When it fell, there was not damage to the phone. THANK GOD! LOL.

It is smooth but I feel like the perforated holes add grip while your hands are holding it. I used it all day yesterday and today so far and haven't slip because of it being too smooth.
I was hoping that the official vent case for the GS3 looked like the official case for the GS2 but they screwed the look up pretty badly. This one looks good but it needs that flashy silver plaque. Haha.
Although I felt the same way about the actual phone itself but the GS3 grew on me and is now the best looking phone ever. Maybe that official vent case will grow on me as well.
Had an elago s4 on my iPhone. Best case I ever had. Thanks for the review!

Pure-Gear PX360 Extreme & PX260 Protection System Cases ?

Haven't seen any posts on these cases here thinking about buying one looking for some comments or if anyone owns one maybe they can chime on if they like them. I think they look tight

http://www.pure-gear.com/shop-by-category/signature/px260-protection-system-for-samsung-galaxy-s-iii-collection.html
I have the px260 and like it. Very solid case. Only negatives are that the headphone jack area is very deep which made it difficult to find one that fit and also that its kind of slick if you just set it on the console while driving it slides around. Also you need to use their screen protector. Reason being is that because the case clamps down so tight a protector that goes to the edges will be pushed up in the corners. Though one of the glass protectors may not have this problem.

Would you buy the case again or something else out there that you think looks better ?

I would buy it again. I also have the ballistic HD case but replaced it with the PX. The only other case I will try out will be the sedio obex once its available. The good thing about the PX case is it is not real thick which I like so not sure if the sedio will be too much for me.

Spent the whole night looking at cases online just got the phone and want to get a case before i drop it
For some reason I keep coming back to the Pure Gear cases I'd take the DualTek Extreme or the PX260 maybe even the PX360

The Dualtek is really nice. It adds some bulk to the phone but the phone is protected for sure. I love that it has a lip that sits above the edge of the screen. The buttons may be a little hard to get used to at first but I have no complaints about it.

So I bit the bullet and ordered it Sunday night from amazon, and I have to say I'm glad I did.
added some pictures:
Left is my Mercury TPU and the right obviously the DualTek

[Q] Anyone know of a clear (not smokey) TPU case?

I love the faux brushed metallic finish on the back of the titanium Note II, and while I have to have a case to protect the phone, I want to be able to see that nice design on the back. What I'd like is a clear TPU case that I can see the back of the phone through, but most of what I find either has some sort of plaid design, or has a smokey/blurry finish to it. Here are some examples of what I've found so far:
A little hard to see, but the back cover is not perfectly clear, so the back cover will likely not show the brushed design.
This one is plaid, but seems to show that a clear case is doable.
This one may be the best one, but I'm not a big fan of the X
Anyone have any ideas? The other issue is most of the sample images use the white version, so it's hard to tell how they'll look on the titanium model. Thanks for your help!
You could try a zagg full body cover I've used them on other phones. Doesn't add any bulk and definitely protect against scratches. Not much shock absorption though lol.
Good luck
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note II via xda premium
I'd love to do that, but I'm more concerned with dropping the phone than scratching it
I bought a half clear and half blue transparent case thats got a kickstand. Its pretty nice and the back is clear and the blue parts are very nice light blue color. It cost all of 2.97 on amazon!
It was made by a company called fomson? Forson? Something like that. Just search for note 2 cases on amazon and theres lots of varieties...and they are dirt cheap. I bought another just because it was so cheap.
Ill never buy those expensive 30 dollar sprint store or best buy 25 dollar ugly black cases.
Or an otterbox......ew I hate those...
Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 2
This was the closest thing I could find on Amazon, but again, notice how the case makes the back look silver, instead of making the brushed design visible.
I may just be SOL on this one...

Do either of you have the titanium Note II? If so, does the pattern show up with this case? Also, is that completely TPU, or is it hard plastic on the back? I'm worried about the impact resistance on the hard plastic cases.
