The Galaxy Nexus Diztronic case is highly praised on Amazon and Reddit.
I figure the S3 case will be too.

The quality of the plastic is superior. Once I bought one for my Galaxy Nexus I've got one for every phone since then. They are the best TPU brand for phones.
You won't regret it. It's cheap too!
My SII Skyrocket Diztronic case ended up being my favorite of the various cases I tried.
Not at all flashy. Nothing special about it.
It just "works" properly. And doesn't get beat up like cheaper cases do.
And I like that they are finally doing cutouts for BOTH the volume & power unlike on my last case.
I hate anything covering the power or volume buttons. Though some folks do like that.
I've used these cases for 2 years on Captivate, Infuse, Galaxy Nexus and Note. They're grippy, durable and fit perfectly. I just ordered one for my S3. Thanks for the heads-up.
I already have Rock Case, 4 Cruzerlite TPU cases... and a Leather pouch... Do I need/want one more....?
I have a Cruzelite...definitely sub par to the Diztronic cases I've had in the past and I'm sure it will be the same with the new one I have on the way.

cruzerlite is garbage. i sent it in for a refund. the cut outs dont even line up with the ports correctly lol
Sorry for the delay in getting our S III cases up guys, I was out of town and had an employee put them up. Unfortunately she accidentally set the start selling date as July 6th so the pages never went live. I said didn't you realize we weren't getting any orders?! We sent inventory to Amazon on Friday so Prime shipping options should be available either Tuesday or Wednesday.
We did include a screen protector with this release made of Japanese film. When we first started including screen protectors we were using a Korean film, which is slightly better than Chinese but still had some rainbowing and purpling. These Japanese based ones are great, very good clarity. Even though including them almost doubles our costs we've kept our prices the same for the time being. Thanks everyone for your continued support!

The company resides and manufactures in America (Madison, WI, near me!!). The customer service is absolutely OUTSTANDING. You basically end up talking to a real person who is dead set on making sure you're satisfied.
And TPU, in general, is perfect for me. Thin, adds a little grip but doesn't stick in pockets.

cldn't agree more, they are indeed bad. Just ordered Diztronic for my S III . Loved it on my Nexus , was waiting for a week for it to be available in the meanwhile i thought i would try cruzerlite . Apart from the fit, i dint like the looks of it too, esp that i wanted something with a plain back matte finish . Diztronic was the perfect fit . Love it Love it!!!
Actually they are in Madison, but my EVO 4G LTE Diz TPU's specifically stated Manufactured in China.
I put them in a bowl of water and they don't sink so I'd guess they aren't full of lead.
The water did turn green and looked like antifreeze though (just kidding!)

We are in Madison, WI but unfortunately we have our cases made in China for the time being. I'm looking at potentially having them made in Akron, OH but it's not set in stone at this point. If anyone has any contacts with US based factories that can manufacturer TPU cases feel free to contact me. For now we are using the same lingo everyone else uses, "Designed in ___ Manufactured in China". Our screen protectors however are manufactured in Japan. Some of you should be receiving your GS III cases today, I know at least one XDA member received theirs on Saturday as they were in Wisconsin. I'm looking forward to seeing some feedback as my GS III from Sprint hasn't arrived yet!

It doesn't have a cutout for the camera, as in my opinion I'd rather have it covered so it's protected. If someone can show me an example of diminished picture quality because of it I may be swayed to make a cutout for it in the future. As far as going all the way to the edge of the glass, from what I understand it's not possible to do so on the GS III because of the way the glass tapers on the edges, so we made the screen protector in the same way as our One X screen protector. It essentially covers the flat part of the glass. You could probably go all the way to the edge with a wet adhesive based screen protector, but with a static type screen protector they would just peel up.

I'm with you, this phone is too expensive to damage. I've been searching everyday and have yet to find anything. I usually prefer Ballistics' cases but I doubt they will be making one for this phone so it's back to the drawing board. I'm also wondering if zagg will be making a screen protector for this device. Don't know what I can expect with such a massive device. Maybe turn to the manufacturers of the best tablet cases... I'll post here when I find some cases.

I think the case of expansys is sleek. It's not making the note any thicker.
Hope they got variety of colors though..
samsung flipover
Samsung will come with a flipover, the back of the flipover will replace the original back of the note. So the note will only become a few mm thicker
I'm also looking to get the Samsung flipover cover when it becomes available. The only problem is the side of the Note remains unprotected, I'm thinking getting a gel case and trim off the left hand side so it will fit togther with the flipover cover.
Meanwhile, here is a really nice durable skin that is already available on Amazon I have used the Skinomi on my previous phones and it covers the phone nicely. All the cutouts are aligned and it barely feels like there is anything on it. Btw, the carbon fiber look makes it look really mean and clean. oh another thing, it's lifetime warranty too.

I'm considering this one as well. Please post your thoughts when you receive it.
The description doesn't mention if it will fit the Epic touch 4G. I believe this is made for the international version of the Samsung Galaxy S2 but not certain. I sent the seller a note but yet to receive a reply. Does anyone have any experience with this case?
Is there a physical size difference between the Sprint and International Version of the Galaxy S2?

The original S2 is different enough from the E4GT that those ebay cases probably won't fit at all. Your first big hint is that the E4GT has a bigger screen...
Arguably, a perfect case would be designed for the phone, look how you want, and not cost more than 50 bucks, this good sir is far from a perfect solution IMHO.
Waste of money. I dropped my eg4t several times on concrete, asphalt and on a tile floor with not a mark. I do have a tpu case and a screen protector. I feel I don't need this type of protection.
You guys and cases would fit right in an iPhone 4 forum.

I have had identical experiences, with not a scratch. Steinheil crystal screen protector and matte black tpu case. The tpu case only scuffed a little, it took a couple hard falls/slides too. It is cool however, I would like to see custom made wooden ones like this, natural woods (stabilzed probably) in a sort of "two frame" design like this, with spacers on the corners (wood or otherwise). I might build one for giggles to see...

Best Skins Ever finally has the Galaxy Nexus skins in stock ready to ship out Monday! They are also all discounted right now as an introductory price. I picked up 2 for myself, I've used these for my Nexus One, Nexus S, GS2, and now my Galaxy Nexus will have it's turn! Definitely the best wet type skin on the market. Shipping only a dollar too, better than everywhere else except Amazon...

Well for starters, it ruins the crystal clear beautiful display.
I use it on the sides and back for a grippy feel.
SGP on the screen.
I have the same setup, I use SGP for the screen and Best Skins Ever for the body. But to compare all the wet install type shields, they will all have the orange peel effect but from my experience, Best Skins Ever is minimal and it isn't nearly as grippy feeling as the Zagg. In other words, your screen is still nice and smooth and not grippy if you use the Best Skins Ever screen protector.
Here are some pictures of the BSE on the Nexus S from a while ago: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10398198&postcount=6
Do BSE skins for the SGN come with separate pieces for the battery case and device frame? Hard to tell from the Nexus S pictures. I used to use them on iPhones, but of course battery replacement was not an option with those...
I've used BSE on many products, good stuff and cheap! Also excellent customer service.

They always have come with the pieces separate for me, at least when I got it for my Nexus One, Nexus S, and Galaxy S2... so I'm assuming it's the same thing for the Galaxy Nexus. If it doesn't then I will be very surprised.
So is screen protector edge to edge all the way around? And how is the battery cover handled since it is textured?

From past experience, the screen cover is pretty much edge to edge everywhere. The textured back was kind of weird with the skin (I had a Galaxy S2 before this with the same textured back). At first when you put it on, you will notice gaps between the cover and the textured back, like it wasn't really on all the way. I left it alone and after about 2 weeks or so, it's like it dried out even more or shrunk to the textured backing and it looked good from then on out.
FYI people.....
25% off today through 14th on orders through them.
unfortunately i ordered yesterday and i asked if they can adjust my order.....

some skins are thicker.
I have a question, if I do not like the look of the protector, will it be easy to remove and leave no damage?

Accessories of all kinds are dependent upon preference. How much protection do you want? How important is it that the form factor remain sleek and attractive?
I went with a Seidio Active case, as I felt it would offer best protection, and a zagg shield, because the service we've gotten locally from their kiosks has been great.

I just got grabbed a D3O case with T-Mobile screen protectors off eBay. The package is only 12.99, supposed to be all authentic. I've used D3O on other phones, they have really nice cases. I've never used a T-Mobile brand screen protector, but I can't imagine it'd be too bad.
Edit: they also have different colors if you don't like the black.
Here's a link to the case on eBay
im having trouble uploading a picture, and still dont have enough posts to put links but i am actually using this case that can be found on amazon by putting in
ATC For Samsung Galaxy S2 II T-Mobile T989 Android OS Hercules 4G Black&Blue Silicone / Rubber Case
there are many variants on amazon. people selling it under diff names. but i like the added protection on the corners where a phone mostly hits when falling. the protection it offers on the back, and the lip is thick enough that if it falls screen should touch the floor on a flat surface. i have not had issues with the screen protector peeling from the corners either. i like that the blue snap cover holds the silicone in place so it doesnt slide off when in my pockets

Just got these today and I have to say, if I had the choice to do it over, I wouldn't buy them. I've always used D3O cases and they always seem like they are good quality, but this flex case, I personally think feels a bit cheapy. I don't know what it is about it, but I'm not a fan. I also usually use Zagg screen protectors, but I decided this time I'd try something else because I don't really like the rubbery feel of the Zagg protectors. BUT the best thing about the Zagg protectors is that they stretch which makes fitting them on with a case much easier in my opinion, also the wet application makes putting the protector on much easier since you can slide it around. This protector was a pain to get on, plus the fact that every time you FINALLY get it right, dust has decided to settle on the screen so you have to wipe it off or blow it off and by then I've moved the protector by a mm so it goes off to the side now.
So I'm probably just going to stick with what I have for now, but eventually I'm sure I'm going to go with a different case and a different screen protector. The dual shock D3O cases are probably much better quality than these flex cases.
Edit: I did buy it off eBay, so I know there's always the possibility that the case is a fake, but everything looks pretty legit to me. I'm going to head to a T-Mobile store today or tomorrow and check out the cases in the store to double check though.
a friend bought the D30 from T-Mobile when she got her GS2. I do not like it at all the buttons are waaaay too hard to press.
I had a trident on my OG Vibrant and it was the most amazing thing ever, I could throw that phone across the room and it was fine.
+1 on the Fishbone case. Just enough protection and it still goes in and out of my pocket easily.
In my opinion the Steinheil Ultra Fine screen protectors are great. Anti fingerprint and anti glare. I have had mine on my t989 for about a year so far and it still looks great. Just my opinion, give it a try.
I personally like the screen protectors from the T-Mobile retail store. Though a little pricey but it looks amazing if applied correctly. Had mine on since last December and it still looks new.
And have experience with these?

So cheap but not sure of quality.
For 4 bucks how can you go wrong.
I had one on my HTC One and I loved it. Great feel in the hand and almost nothing added to the phone bulk or weight wise. Just don't expect to protect much in the way of drops.
Well I'm a sucker for marketing so I was wondering if I should wait for a Meifeng branded one or whatnot.

Loved the one I had for my nexus 4. Will probably order one on these as well since both the spigen cases I ordered have issues.

Just an FYI, there are several sellers on eBay with this case. I just ordered from the link below. $3.98 delivered. The one in the OP is $3.99 + $0.99 shipping. I know, it's only a dollar but hey...

I remember a recent news about street selling case vendors in china.
The cases have funny smell at first use due to cancer causing chemical agents in the material used to make the case.

Everything causes cancer these days. I figure if I can get a little bit of every form of cancer, they will cancel each other out.

What do these feel like anyway? It looks like it has sandpaper on the back.

Probably a shill.
Does not look that good...instead of that I would prefer to take my N5 naked.....
For 4 bucks, I'll pick one up too. I've never had a rough feeling case like this one on any phones before so may as well try it.
Had this on the nexus 4 and I loved it. Of course, I got it simply for scratches and not for drop protection although it probably did help a bit. I've already ordered this for nexus5.
I ordered one of these last week. Who knows when it'll come in. I'll check back here when it does though. I think I ordered a gray one but I'm not sure - I bought 4 or 5 cases on eBay and kinda forget which ones I got.
For those that have gotten these type of cases before; are the insides of the cases the same sand feel as the outside? I am afraid that the inside would scratch away the matte coating of the phone.

It is the same as the outside though it's not as rough as you think it is. IMO it won't scratch off the matte coating.
One's on the way eventually. Looked softer then the Nillkin patterned case.
Judging by how flexible the case is in this picture, it looks like it's made out of some TPU-like material rather than the hard plastic that other slim cases are made out of. So I don't think scratching will be a problem.
I had a quicksand on my n4 and it was not flexible at all, we'll see when my n5 version comes in.
Thanks for the plug OP. I'll try these as well.
Love these type cases. But they are not all created equally. Had the best Rock quicksand one my S3. It was very good. Have a Meifeng on my N4 and it is just as good. Rocking a Bear Motion quicksand type on my S4 and it is solid as well. But I've tried some knock offs until I found the good ones and found that those, while they had the feel, were very flimsy and would crack.
The problem I've found is that I haven't found one mfg that supports multiple phones. None of those that I named had a case for any of the phones except the one I already had it on. =-O

Got mine today, black version. Looks great on N5, fits like a glove but still easy enough to get it off and it doesn't add much bulk at all. Tiny lips around edges, won't protect against drop but good enough if you place screen face down. Material is pretty grippy, sandy texture doesn't scratch N5 soft touch plastic.
I've a gray version by bear motion for HTC One, but bought this one on eBay because BM isn't making one for N5.
