Yeah overall it's a decent case. Just not a lot for your money compared to some cases.

When they say twin pack, do they give you 2? Blue and white?
I was thinking of a tpu but used one for a couple of days but didn't like it.

I don't know I only got a single one, looks like the twin back is 2 of the same colour to me though.

Cool.
Many thanks for the review

I think its personal preference. I bought the rock and didn't like it. With the slimyou get 2 cases at 15£ so it takes it to the same price really and also covers the phone all around.

Putting the Rock and Metal-Slim next to each other I can't see a difference

Which one is the metal slim? Not a samsung original is it?

I can confirm you get two cases.
One is transparant with stripe motive the other is transparant with dots.
It's a nice case for just protecting the back of the phone when put on a table but nothing more.

Yes the twinpack indeed
The one from the video is the stripe one, you also get the same but with square dots.

tradesteady said:
thanks for the review yet should we buy a genuine one at a higher price instead of buying from a third party with a reasonable price, such as Rock Quicksand Galaxy S3 case which also enjoy a good reputation not worse than the original ones as you could see here:

Be nice if they did multi colour packs as well. The clear is nice though.

Been sporting this case for about a week and a bit...great slim fit and easy to hold. Only issue I have is dirt getting into the 2 little holes on the top right (for a lanyard or mobile charm)...that edge is also slightly raised when compared to the other 3 edges...have had to take off the case every 2nd day for a wipe as I;m conscious of heairline scratches on the plastic...otherwise a great case!

Looking for a new case(Currently have smoke TPU)

So, I bought the smoked colored TPU case because matte black was sold out. I like the case because it's small and doesn't add more bulk to an already huge phone.
My problem is that it's very slippery, I'd like something a bit more grippy but do not want the full rubber cases, I had a case mate on my old phone and I sometimes it was a pain to take out and put in my pocket, it would just come off of the phone..
The matte black TPU I heard was good, but will it be as slippery as the one I have now.
This seems to have decent reviews:

Thanks, but the jack info is a deal breaker. I use my phone every time I get in my car with the Aux input. It's my source of music, taking the case on and off every single time would be a big hassle.
If I don't get more replies I'll take my chances with the matte black TPU.

I had the same one from Amazon and prefer this HANDS down! Its slimmer and more comfortable.
I saw a video review and it shows the clear part having a purple tint on it?
If someone has any hi-res pics of the case w/ phone, i'd be grateful.
Thanks for the deal.

Basically you buy the dye used for clothes & soak your case in it for any given amount of time until you achieve the desired depth of color.
It comes in a liquid:
Or a powder:

Well a few weeks ago I purchased a Duck Tape Sheet (8.5" x 11") in chrome & attempted to use that to cover my back battery door. Unfortunately my exacto knife was so dull that the edges came out all crappy.
You can find these sheets in various colors and patterns for about $1.99 at Michaels craft store or some office supply stores. just make sure you have a sharp cutting tool lol.
You can also use adhesive drawer liner contact sheets but those come in a whole roll & that may be more then you need.

Case with Kickstand Recommendations?

As someone who used the kickstand on my Evo OG a lot, I must have a case that includes a kickstand. Does anyone have any particular recommendations? I have used Seidio car mounts in the past, and they were very high quality and durable, but a bit on the heavy side (trade-off for durable I guess).
Anyway, I see two cases I'm interested in.

Oh man, I am so used to ordering everything from Amazon (or others) that I didn't even consider going to a store to get a case. I guess I was thinking that since the stores don't have the phones yet, they wouldn't have the accessories. Stupid thought process on my part. I'll have to go to a local store and see if I can find the case-mate.

How is it bulky? Its like 2 inches long and one inch wide. And doesn't add much thickness to the phone at all. When your fingers are in it, you won't worry about dropping it at all. I can easily reach all 4 corners of my screen with this baby. watch Qbkings review of it

I had it on my epic touch for a few weeks (before I quickly got rid of it) and it never felt like it was getting loose. It uses the 3m double sided tape, the same tape on the wall hooks that 3m makes that are rated to hold 5 lbs.
Another thing I like is that it lifts the phone speaker of the surface more so it doesn't dampen the ringer. That is partially annoying cause it doesn't lay flat on a surface if your using your phone laying down, but isn't a huge deal.

If you order the case mate thru the case mate website use the "tough" code for 20% off. I have the case already just waiting on the phone. Case looks sturdy and should be great.

Lifeproof case for S3?

So after going to my local ATT corp store and seeing this case it looked pretty interesting. Do they only make cases for the iPhone? Tried doing some research and found nothing! Only iPhone cases.
Iphone and Ipad only. I would definitely be in for one for the s3 if the decided to make it though.

Thanks for posting that link. I have wasted lots of $$$ on screen protectors because I never liked how I applied them. No matter what I do, i get dust/bubbles, and all sorts of other issues. That roll-on screen protector is going to save me so much money and pain/anger.
If you have a hard time with screen protectors you should go check out ghost-armor.com . I have my phone wrapped in clear with a second layer of white carbon fiber, they will do the whole installation for you and they even covered my flygrip in white carbon fiber as well

Otterbox is coming out with a similar case called the Armor. Its been announced for the iPhone, but if anybody would build a non-apple version it would probably be them. I would consider asking them.

Doubtful, Otterbox has their collective head so far up apples ass that it's not even funny. They couldn't even produce a case for the S3 release even though this phone has sold millions already.
I emailed Otterbox earlier to ask them about the Armor case. They don't have plans to make it for any other phones... iPhone only.

They could easily sell 100k cases for the s3 (10M sold so far).
I would buy it immediately
I would jump right on that as well. They did have a post on their site a few months back that they were working on coming out with cases for Samsung phones. It would seem that the s3 should be at the top of the list when they do.
It would be nice to have for kayaking and snowboarding, nice for listening to music in the shower too!
I bought the otterbox commuter with an hd invisishield and loved it. Then upgraded to the defender and while I like the defenders premise.. I hate that I get dust under the screen cover through the miniscule opening at the top where the front facing camera and ear speaker is. I may go back to the commuter and hd screen.

Well... I could only hope that Samsung releases some kind of ultra slim cover like the one for the GS3.

Nobody thought of buying a case or at least looking for your 1 before you got the phone?

I got this from ebay: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/160907044893...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649#ht_3659wt_1163
It's pretty cool, the texture feels like fine sand paper which makes it really easy to grip. I recommend this type of case for people with small hands like myself.

Yeah that's a great case , excellent feel fits well but the exposed bezel at top & bottom worried me a tad.
I picked up a cruzerlite on amazon to hold me over until the real cases come out. Downfall is the cruzerlite doesnt play well with my screen protector

Never had to, usually at&t has plenty. They actually blamed it on Hurricane Sandy, said interrupted deliveries.
I got a cheap one for 7 off ebay & ordered the Samsung White Note 2 case from mobilecityonline.com for $19.99. I'm going to not go case crazy like I did on the SGS3.
i don't normally get a case since i usually hate most that ive had, but i actually love the samsung tpu case. it is super thin, good coverage, rubber sides, plastic back that resembles what the phone looks like underneath, and lip that goes over the screen. you can get it 50% off on samsungs website with the coupon code, so $15. totally worth it.

Is it rubber skin thin? I mean, I dont want to bulk this device up at all but I want a really thin case.

its thin enough that you may mistake it for there being no case on there at all, just like the samsung tpu cases for the GS3. heres a thread with lots of pix and review for it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1970161

This is why I always wait a bit to purchase my electronics. It makes everything easier to have a bit of patience.
Why does everyone dislike the flip cover case? It seems like decent protection and not bulky at all?

I can't speak for everyone but I know a disadvantage is that it blocks the notification light, making it useless to have.

Seriously, I might give it a go. As long as you can leave the flip cover folded over the back of the device for the times you want to be able to see the led notification then I should be fine. But I dont plan on getting a screen protector and for throwing it in my pockets or laptop bag the flip cover might do its job in protecting the big screen.
