Awesome! Thanks for letting us know. I also had this on my S2 and got it for my brother's One S last month. Was waiting for these.

I'm Also a big fan of cruzerlite but really wanted a matte finish for the phone. Hard to find a good match for the pebble blue. I ordered the Matte Clear and Matte Black. Will take pics when I get them.

you guys convinced me to try these... just ordered a matte clear one off Amazon. On my G2X i just tried a hard plastic one and hated it so it's been naked for the last 11 months.
Also have a silicone/rubber shipping in to compare the two. Thanks for the tip

I ordered 3 off amazon last night and they already shipped.

I had a d30 on my gs2 which I really loved. I wish they had that for the gs3. I guess I'll get the diztronic as a stop gap measure.

I also used Diztronic on my SGS2. I was very happy with the case and with their customer service. I'm about to order one for my SGS3

Is this a soft case or a hard case?

They are TPU type cases which I believe would be considered a soft case.

Hi, can you post pics? both front, back and side?
how does it feel it hand, is it slippery?

Howdy all, finally got my Diztronic case in today. Here is a link to the album of photos I took of it. Fits really nice, the holes are cut out great and feels really nice in the hand. Please excuse my botched screen protector attempt as well.

I received mine today I had a diztronic you on my vibrant,sensation,sgs2 and gnex.I love them the only thing I don't like about this one is it doesn't seem very snug on the sides and the lip on the bottom kinda gets in the way of pressing the home button.Honestly the home button is the only gripe I have with the sgs3 design.I don't know why they chose to make it a physical button you have to press down as opposed to a touch capacitive on like the back and menu I feel like everytime press down I'm closer to breaking the home button.

I feels ya. I've never liked the idea of a physical home button on any of these phones.. it just looks ugly and out of place.. The GS3's isn't that bad, but still, why not have just made it a capacitive home button to match the menu & back button? Oh well.

I ordered a full body clear shield by photoskinz.
How does the shield affect the fitting Diztronic case ?

I ordered a Zagg full body InvisibleSHIELD and ended up taking off the back plate protector, one because I jacked the installation up and two, the fit was kinda tight, but again that was probably because of my crappy install. The front is fine so far.

Ebay TPU Hybrid Case - Pictures

I received the Clear TPU case from eBay today. I had the same one on my Vibrant. It fits great, but there are no cutouts for volume rocker or power button. Got it for $10 USD shipped.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/320766362583?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
Have the same thing but took it out at once because it was so hard to access the power button and volume rocker! IMO, the best case right now is the one from body glove sold @ tmobile! Has a more pronounced rubber volume and power buttons!

Hey Thanks for the pics.
How is the feeling of the phone with the case on compared to it off in terms of size and feel in hand?
The power and volume buttons are harder to press but the pros of protection override the inconvenience.
In terms of size, it does add a bit of bulk bit not enough to bother me. You can still pocket it and it looks great. I can hold it more securely as well, I dont feel like i will drop this sucker now. Over all for ten bucks its worth it. Highly recommend.

Thanx for posting, I had a similar Aquaflex for my sensation.........Can't go wrong with these, and I dig the fact that the power buttons and vol rocker are covered.
Thanks for the pics! I just ordered this case yesterday and it's nice to see how it fits and looks before receiving it. I had a similar case for my HTC G2 (Desire Z) and I cut parallel slits next to the power button with my Xacto knife to make it easier to push. Works great!

I just received the exact came case in the mail yesterday. Good case, but a little tough to press the volume and power buttons. It also is a bit slick, the phone has fallen out of my pocket when sitting a few times already.
That's one of the beauties about our phone in that it being so thin, a case will even it out perfectly.
Unlike other phones like the MT4GS that was thick already, when I put a case on it it was a brick. Not the case here with ours...
Very fortunate.

I just put on a T-mo brand screen protector and the case makes the edges of the protector come up...blows. On another note, the protectors from the T-mo store go on VERY well. I have zero bubbles or debris under the plastic.

Yeah I'm pretty partial to Zagg, had one on my Evo as well as Sensation and never ever hand a issue with them. I'll be ordering a Zagg shortly and I'll report back once I have it on. I'll probably end up switching cases though too as I don't like how hard it is to press both the power and volume buttons with the D30 case. Otherwise it's really a great case, I just think once all the other players start getting their cases out, they'll be a better buy.

[REVIEW] Ballistic SG Case (UPDATE)

UPDATE:
I have seen a lot of questions about people seeing this case with out the lip portion which is on the top right of the screen. I just found this case on ebay which is half the price and does not have the lip.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-Xshie...648123?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2a176d08fb
Here is a White version I also found which looks nice.

Ballistic SG Case for T-Mobile
I just saw it on eBay and it looks like a great case for protection.
Here is the company's site with the standard S2. They haven't added our phones yet to their site.
http://www.goballisticcase.com/products/samsung-galaxy-s2-ballistic-shell-gel-sg-series-case
Just recieved it today. I like the way it looks but it has a couple of drawbacks.
Pros:
1) Pushing the volume or power button is the best I have seen yet for the T-Mobile GS2 cases. Very fluid just like there isnt a case and the buttons make the natural noise that they make just like not using a case.
2) Seems to be the best protection I have seen for the GS2. I think it will handle a drop very easily.
3) I dont have a screen protector but the way this is designed I dont see how this case would cause any issues like the D30 cases do due to a tight fit. Its somewhat loose and should not cause the corners of a screen protector to lift up.
4) Has a great feel to it and adds some weight to the phone.
5) Protects the back camera perfectly.
6) It does add some thickness to the phone but this is because the phone is extra protected. I would say it is about 1.5x to 1.75x as thick as the phone without a case on it.
Cons:
1) The first layer is rubber and due to this fact it has a few issues.
2) Collects lint easily from your pocket.
3) Can be difficult at times to put in and out of your pocket due to the rubber.
By far though this is the best case I have had for a phone. I own a couple of TPU cases for the T-Mobile GS2 and a D30. It makes the D30 look like junk even though the D30 is a great basic case.It has some drawbacks but the pros outweigh the cons. I definitively recommend this case to anyone that wants the ultimate protection for their phone and doesnt mind cleaning the lint off everyonce in a while. If you like my review please give me a thanks.
just saw one too. didnt kno that they started to make them yet. their a little bulky for my line of work. and since im a student im not really in the situations where is need THAT Much protection....but do a review if you get one.
I ordered one. As soon as it comes in I will post pics.

I have to say yes... I'll take measurement tmrw but the corners are thicker than all of it. Its still not bad. Fits in my pocket n like how it feels in my hand ... I like the texture of back compared to the d3o.
To be fair, the rubber corners will pick up lint just like vibrant otter box. This thing is maximum protection...

Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Thanks, got one on order. This will be my 4th and hopefully final case for this phone, I am a fan of otterbox so I think I will like it. I started with the black bodyglove from tmobile, not a bad case but a pain in the ass to take of so I got one of the clear TPU cases from ebay and its a great case. And then the D30 came out so I exchanged the bodyglove for it, had to take it back because it fit like crap, the next one fit 95% better but is still uneven around the edges and for a $25.00 piece of rubber it should be perfect like the $7.00 one from ebay.
The first D30 that I got was from T-Mobile. That one fit perfectly, just didn't like the way how the button press felt. So then I also got a TPU case from eBay. Next thing T-Mobile gave out the cases so I picked it up, returned the original one I bought at T-Mobile store, but then the one I got from T-Mobile online, it fit 95% and was bubbling up my Realook. I was hoping for a Seidio case to come first but since I've heard good things about Ballistic case, I gave it a shot. Waiting for it to come in the mail now.

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!

Likewise.
I had 3 or 4 of these for my 4S, and while they're not the greatest cases in the world, they fit pretty darn good and for the price, you really can't complain. They're not going to offer much in the way of drop protection, because they're really thin, but they look good and the grooves on the sides do provide good grip. I also liked the matte texture.
I'm just glad to see some of these case companies that used to be iPhone-only are starting to make things for the SIII. That should tell you how popular it is. Now, if only Power Support would start making their anti-glare screen protectors for the SIII, life would be grand!
Thanks for the post OP. Snagged one right now.
thanks, just scooped up a grey one.
received mines last night. ordered black and red.
at first thought the case seemed flimsy. after install however it feels solid on the phone. i like the matte finish and the side grooves help with grip. buttons are easy to feel and press as well. out of all the cases i've had for the s3, the rear cutouts for the camera, flash, and speaker on this case are spot-on perfect! the other cutouts are very slightly off center, but still very useable. the case offers a nice front lip for screen protection on a flat surface. i also like the mini cutout underneath the home button for easier access to that button. nice touch.
it's an awesome case considering you only pay for shipping.
kinda off topic - i have the sgp curved crystal and it somewhat works with this case. you have to install the case very carefully and over the edge of the screen protector so it won't bubble up on the sides. it may still bubble up though and you just have to fix it.
:good:

i-Blason Candygel Hybrid TPU [Mini-Review]

I got the i-Blason over the weekend and when I came into the office, I had a package waiting for me. It was the case that is kinda confusing to clarify because it's mixed in with other cases on Amazon. To clarify what I wanted, I went straight to the horses mouth and ordered it directly from i-Blason for $7.99USD+shipping.
http://www.i-blason.com/candygel-hybrid-tpu-hard-clear-case-for-google-nexus-5.html
The case, which is tpu is much more malleable/softer than the Spigen Ultra Hybrid. Also the i-Blason is very tpu-ish on it's lip unlike the Spigen UH, where the Spigen is ultra stiff.
When unpackaging the Candygel tpu, I also noticed that the case "looked" smaller than the Spigen UH. And when I was about to put it on, I said to myself, this doesn't look like it's going to fit! LOL. Glad I was wrong.
The case fit like a bodyglove. LOL I mean the case lip is very flexible and forgiving. And keep in mind I have a Spigen screen protector as well so I had to make sure that didn't come up. And thankfully, it did not. :good:
I have been using it and playing with it for a while and I have to say it's a pretty good case! The buttons are there, allbeit, covered, but the buttons now have feedback, compared to the Spigen UH. The volume buttons are also fine as well.
The ONLY fault I can find thus far is that on the bottom of the case has a scuff mark that was most likely done from the molding process, which I can forgive. It doesn't hinder the use of the case, it isn't sharp or uncomfortable because of it. I can even see it, but I know it's there. And I know I'll forget about it on day to day usage. The cut outs on the speaker aren't the best, but it's tpu and again, it isn't horrible, but I can notice it lol. The mic holes are perfectly exposed and just to note, the micro sim tray are covered. The clear back is why I got it. I can sport my dbrand white CF as well, where the other options before were the Spigen UH and Ringke fusion.
For the price, I can recommend this. and plays well with the Spigen screen protector thus far. The TPU makes the phone more form fitting and seems a tad smaller in holding it in my hands.
Anyways, here are some pics...enjoy! Oh and feel free to ask any questions or if you want pics at different angle and stuff like that.
How much bulk does this case add, in terms of height and width and also the thickness of the phone? I've been looking for a slim case to use with my dbrand skin as well, and I've been eyeing this one up.

It's thinner compared to the spigen ultra hybrid if that helps. It's like a tpu case thickness. Meaning not very thick.

its really looking much better than the spigen ultra hybrid....quite impressive one with the look wise....I would say that would be going to be a nice choice to go for.....
Does the clear back attracts fingers smudges and oil? I have a crystal Spigen ultra fit and I hate that about it.

I want to say it's actually a bit better than the Spigen UH when it comes to the fingerprint magnet. But saying that, you have to take into account that I have a WHITE cf. That makes the fingerprints invisible and barely visible. But if you hold it at an angle, I can see some, but not as bad as the Spigen UH.
I just ordered a clone on ebay that looks to be exactly the same for $6 shipped from china. I went with ebay one cause there's no branding on it!!

LOL I don't mind the branding. If it bugged me, I can use goo gone or fingernail polish remover to remove it. But please let us know how that one fares. It should be similar, they all are lol.

Only in black and mediocre feedback for a power seller in my opinion (98.8%), but it's cheaper if you're in need for the black!

What about scratches ? I just got a Tech21 case for my Nexus 5 and only had a few days and I can already see scratches building up. I am going to return it tomorrow. It does have a clear back which is what I was looking for. Thanks

Well you will eventually get scrathes. I have a white backing on my phone so you cannot see them at all. But looking at it without the phone in it, yes you can see scratches.
