Right after I asked, some have started to appear on eBay.
Manicure Jelly Cases
Found some "cheaper" cases call Manicure. They look like Mercury/pleomax 9(also made in Korea) type but looking at the picture the fitment looks iffy at best.. But at $4 shipped..
Best Jelly Cases
I really like this type, seems in Japan they use these with various different phones.
I ordered the brown and lime.. I'll update with pictures when I get them.

I like this one, just seen them today, very soft TPU, thin with grainy/sandy texture.
It also fits quite well.

tpu flip case, it's very soft and very thin, has a grainy/sandy finish on the outer side, the brand is temei, cost HKD 78 approximate USD 10.5, was going to buy one, but since i'm going to china in a few days time, i'm sure i'll be able to get one for about half the price.
edit
There are many colours available, the photo above is dark blue, similar to the actual colour of the phone itself, it's just the phone flash that makes it light blue.

I've read several posts from people saying the dimensions are only about 0.3mm different so the Korean cases for the i9000 would fit on the Vibrant.
I imagine the silicone cases would fit fine, but I'd be curious about the fit of the hard cases.
If anyone picks one up, could you please post your feedback on the quality and fit.
**Sorry for the new post, I meant to post in the existing thread about the Silicone Cases. - Not sure how to move this post.

just waiting for it to come in but ill let ya know
Actually I'm pretty sure that the phones are the exact same size, so you should be able to use any hard or soft case that's made for the international version without any problems.
I was going to order one of those Amzer cases, until I saw the 8/17 ship date.

I did the same and got lucky they still had some. The T-mobile stores around here didn't carry much of anything for accessories. They had 7 cases available for 55 phones. Lol.

they have cheaper ones on ebay in black and in white just type "Galaxy S TPU" in the ebay search bar but there weren't any pics of it actually on the phone so i put these up instead, I know those auctions are for 2 cases and a useless screen protector (has Galaxy S Home button cutout), I wonder if maybe you have the choice of two colors since your getting 2 cases anyways?

It looks different enough from your run of the mill gel/rubberized/plastic case. I like the design. Much more expensive at ~$20, but my Vibrant deserves a nice case for having such a nice screen.

I ordered Ultra Capsule today from official SGP site, after days of confusion. They also come with a free Steinheil Ultra Crystal Screen protector. Good for me
offtopic - I can't see any orders yet when I log in to the site. Is it normal?
Had problem
I order one of those SGP Ultra Silke off e-bay from South Korea on the 6th of june
2 weeks later I just got screen protector NO CASE. For the last 4 days been e-mailing had to send him pic of the screen protector ? If I dont here from him on monday,time to contact e-bay...Them I will tell you guys the name of this store so you know who not to get it from.
I believe the official SGP ebay store is sgpstore1
gutkoreainc from Korea is also a known eBay store that carries SGP products.

I have the infinity white sgp ultra capsule. There are glitter on it, but they only noticeable in very bright light - they not bad at all, and I say it as someone that wouldn't use a case with noticeable glitters.
The holes fit great, but the case made for the Korean version, so its not stable enough on the international version of the phone, it feels pretty shaky and not snug.
I wouldn't recommend it. The case itself is good, but it's not fit to the international version, so its pretty shaky and not comfortable...

Yeah I did that, and it fits perfectly now.
I actually put a small cleaning cloth.
If the sides make a noise when you squeeze them, it should go away after a few days.
nice find! thanks for sharing!!
Which one is slimmer?
Ultra silke or Ultra capsule ?
Not sure, but the Ultra Silke seems to be about 1/2 the thickness of a normal matte silicone case. Very slim and covers everything (except the TV antenna area on the top right )
I like the look of neo hybrid in the beginning. But after reading bad review of it (easy to break). I order the other one instead.

I think the case is very slick - nice and thin.
No sure how much protection it offers though.
Probably enough for light impact / against scratches etc. and probably none for 50cm+ drops.
I like that case! Looks really good and professional. Especially if you know the hassle with the Dell Streak cases.

I asked a question as to whether this would actually fit the note. By the looks of it they have just taken the images from cases for other phones, as there is no way the note would fit in it. I'm not sure how custom it is, but I haven't received a response to my question, so I don't think I'll be buying from them until there is confirmation it will actually fit.
Edit: Seems I did get a response, but I only got an email for the first message (a more trivial question). To quote their response:
The pictures are from other model phone. But we can make it to fit Samsung Galaxy Note perfectly.
I believe we can hold them to this, so I might get it.
Here in Greece i had a "leather" pouch custom sewn for my Note at a cost of 20 euros.
It fits nicely and was modded on that of the HTC HD2.
what happens when we drop the note ? will a leather pouch save it from the fall?
such expensive devices need real protection. if only otterbox released a case.
Good point, a pouch won't protect against fall. It will, however, allow the device to be mounted to a belt. That being said, I am still undecided how to go about it. I will probably wait until I have it to make the decision.

I have had a string of devices with PDair vertical sliding cases.
I find them to be the most practical, while offering very good protection.
Am waiting for an order for a case for the Note.
They did have some online when I ordered but have pulled the webpage.
I used to buy cases from Beyza but they seem to have gone over to the dark side and have completely dropped HTC phone cases from their inventory.
Maybe they will make a case for the Note.
Did a quick ebay search and found a 4 results from Germany for Galaxy Note screen protectors by 3M.... never bought from them, but seller ratings look good.

Piel frama is making one solid mobilecase for the galaxy note.
http://www.pielframa.com/samsung-galaxy-note-cases.htm
I have a case from piel frama for my htc hd2 and it is outstanding. I can drop my phone with ease and the phone is allright. It will cost some bucks but so does your phone.
http://www.pielframa.com/htc-touch-hd-2-imagnum-red-cases.htm
This one i'm aiming for. This will protect the note when it comes for the size of the note.
And, is a screenprotector relevant??? If someone could tell me if it's still needed to protect the screen when it is made of gorilla glass... thnx in advanced.

I totally agree with you on that. And because of the kind of glass you dont need a screenprotector anyway . I'll wait till the white note comes and buy the case from piel frama because my hd2 still looks new after 2 years.

PDAir cases for the Note are only $23.99 with free shipping at expansys-usa:
http://www.expansys-usa.com/s.aspx?search=pdair galaxy note
I ordered one of the Book Type ones while I'm waiting for a more premium quality leather case for the Note to be released.
Expected December 12th? That's a month from now. I think I'll wait until then to see if anything else is released.
I didn't see another thread with this specific topic. Who out there is using a case for their GS3, and what cases are you using? I'm on the fence, am not usually a case user, and I'm not sure which one to buy. Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Also, any pictures and/or links would be appreciated!
i got a case from rockphones. Its really more of a stylish low profile bumper than an encasement
I've been hearing good things about Diztronic cases so I ordered one to try out.
Are the TPU cases supposed to be good shock absorbers?
I picked up a Body Glove today from a local AT&T store. Way overpriced, at $30. But, it is a snug fit, and the whole thing slips into a leather belt-holster nicely.
That being said, I just put on a Zagg HD and am thinking of ordering one of those carbon-fiber stick-ons.
I've got a Rock case on order, just waiting for it to ship. It comes from China so it takes a while to ship but those who have had it said it is very slim and works great with the phone. Definitely not the case to look for if you are looking for protection but I am just looking for something that wont scratch the bottom and protect the camera and screen a little.

yes. I think they're great. That's what I had on my gs2 and loved it.

I picked up a Cimo TPU case from amazon for 9 bucks shipped. Had one on my evo 3d and it was really nice. Also have a zagg hd. Literally the best screen protector I've ever had. Can't even see its there.

I just ordered one as well - thanks for the tip!
Now I would like to find a charging dock that would work while leaving this cover on during charging (if any exists?!). Taking the cover on & off just to dock is not going to happen.....
Thanks again bro!
Okay, so I have to admit this case is intriguing.

I agree. If you find one please let me know.
This is the case I bought, hopefully it's good. There's not enough reviews about cases yet, so I'm nervous when making decisions on which accessories to get for the S3.
Elsse Case
Otterbox Commuter here. This thing is so slick and slippery I am going to need to put some duct tape or something on it for grip! The store only had plain ole black so maybe I'll just get a Defender online since I know they're grippier.
i ordered the incipio silicrylic case after reading alot of good reviews. just waiting for it to come in.
Incipio case on Amazon
I bought the Diztronic case. It's decent and it comes with a screen protector which was easy to put on.

it is a great case, just a little thick for me. i'm still on the hunt for a decent hybrid that doesn't add too much bulk. looking to try out the pop case by case mate and go from there. i might end up with a high end TPU, either from incipio or speck. the price difference between those two is very large though (almost 20 bucks ).
I was not using a case and you can tell from the pics I've attached I'm regretting it... I do have insurance, so getting a replacement. In addition, I'm going to try the Case Mate Pop.
As I'm sure someone will ask, the screen shattered by landing perfectly flat (screen first) on tile from a ~3 foot fall. The phone without a case is so thin & slick...
I got 3 - went Red, White and Blue!
Couldn't decide which to get, so got 3 !!
I had a Trident Aegis before for my prior phone, the LG g2x (longest year of my life, loved and HATED that phone, it reset ALL the time, even after SW update!) and it does make it bulkier but is GOOD protection, so I got several levels of protection, looks sleekness, after reading everyone else's input, recommendations etc
Got them all on Amazon (along with more goodies!)

This is the best case in my opinion. It fits really well and also comes with the belt clip which you slide the case into with the phone facing inwards. The fit is second to none. Check the URL below. I bought it at sprint for $29.99 and its fits all the gs3 since they are all the same. I bought it at a local sprint store. Vzw has a similar one too with a kick stand.
Ok guys sorry for the broken links, here are some updated ones.

What is it? You didn't even mention the NAME of the case in your post and none of your links work. This thread will sink into the abyss (1-star rated.)
We need some PICTURES!!!!!!!!
This case looks promising. Did they have it in white or just black?
Not my cup of tea...but looks like these:

Best case with a stand and not as bulky as some others that come with a stand.

I love this case as well...and the price isn't as bad as some of the others
These cases are pretty tacky.

Agreed. The foremost reason (for me) to use a case is to protect the phone from an accidental drop, so unless all corners are covered and sufficiently padded, such a case is useless. Of course I'd rather go naked, but for a phone that's paid at retail price (so we verizon customers can keep the old unlimited data plan) that would be plain stupid.
I'm really happy with my cruzerlite case so far, not bulky at all and more than sufficient protection. The only addition you need to this is a screen cover, if you even want/need that. The sides have a grip, but it's not "rubbery" so the phone still slides in and out of my pocket easily.

Can you guys start including notes on if NFC works with these cases? I assume it's only metal backed ones that have issues...
I have the iSkin Aura and love it except for the issue of NFC not working.

I got this case when I got my SIII but only because it was the only one with a belt clip. I don't really like it because its way to tight to unholster the phone while clipped. so I got my Otterbox defender case today from smartphonepedia. it was not a deal at $44 plus $4 for shipping but hey I got it and it fits great! buttons are just right and a great case over all.

Really liked the concept, but upon watching the video, the thing in the back doesn't look very sturdy :[
Can anyone who owns the case confirm this?
