I really like the TPU type cases and always end up getting a holster so I took a long shot buying a mix and match set-up, and luckily, it worked out great. The GS3 with the Cruzerlite TPU Case fits perfectly into Seidio's "Surface" Holster. I will post pictures as soon as I can get them. Links below...

that is pretty damn sexy... I have the surface case and holster myself... but I must say that is a great combination... I have one question though... do you feel it snap in place when you put it in the holster... because I would think the TPU case is made of silicone, no???

Hmm... I guessing by "snapping in place" you mean not lifting the spring clip and snapping it in? I've always lifted the spring clip to install my phones so I don't create drag marks in the plastic. I did just try it and it can be done, it just needed more pressure than I would like to put on it every time I install it in the case.

sold... I think I'll be picking up a TPU case... cause I wanted something that protected the screen as well... thanks dude

Thanks! I was wondering about this exact combination. I've always had a holster, but tried just carrying my GS3 in my pocket, but I just can't get the routine down, getting into the car and putting it into a cup holder or on my lap.
I'm also looking for a top loading holster rather than a clip-in one like this.
Thank you so much for posting this. I was just googling this combination for 20 minutes. I knew I should have just come to XDA first. This community is the best.

Nice! How does it feel in hand?

feels nice and it has a lot more grip to it.
Does it collect a lot of dust?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Why would it collect dust ? never herd of any cases that collect.
The only problem with these type cases is the clear ones tend to turn yellow in a few months, the colored ones don't
now they have 7 cases, for only 17.99 great deal

Thank you Siberslug!
Just bought myself a case after seeing your thread. Thanks for posting!
My Vibrant gets here tomorrow, I'm even more excited now!
Welcome! The edges are more sturdy than the t-mobile case is, but the center is still flimsy.
It is also not nearly as sticky as the t-mobile case, which is a GOOD thing to me. It still has a grip to it, but it isn't so difficult to stick in my pocket (or pull back out)
I just received mine today...
This is the one I bought:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Black-Gel-Case-...ewItem&pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item5d2a05dbdb
I was worried that it would be a loose fit but it fits very snugly on to the phone. You have to try very hard to pry it off, which is good!
It's more plastic like than it is a gel like material but it feels very nice in your hands. The feel of it will get smoother after a few days of use once all the oils from my skin get onto it.
I ordered it on 7/19 and received it today on 7/26 and paid $2.98 for everything!
Just buy it in TMO + the screen protector. Pfft. I spent 600 on the phone. another 40 bucks for a case + screen protector. is nothng.
This is how the body glove case fits the captivate, sorry the screen is a little dirty but this is the best fitting case i have seen.

a lot of rave about this case and i must agree. minimalistic cases that don't add a lot of bulk are the way to go!
i'm definitely ordering one when i get mine. thanks for the pics. i can clearly see how high it raises in the front.
have you had any issue with the case scratching the back of your phone? or if it decreases signal/GPS? (see this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=764406)
This case fits perfectly. I haven't noticed any difference with gps either, it wasnt working before the case and still isnt working. As for the case scratching the phone, I dont think that will happen because the case isnt hard enough to scratch and I still have the plastic on the back of my phone.

i have this case and it does fit well, i'm not a fan of the back, but alas this is really all we've got right now. i also noticed that i have scratches on the front bezel near the top and bottom of the phone. i think maybe dust or debris get trapped there and just start to rub. i dont think there is a way to fix it though. i had the same issue with cases and the metal bezel on my iphone.
What is this case made from, and how does it feel? Just curious
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Its gel/rubber, it feels really good and durable. Adds a nice grip to the phone...

I think most people have found them at AT&T Stores, though they can be found online if you search hard enough.
See: hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=761355
I picked up a body glove from Best Buy. I waited until they unboxed them and tied it before I went and checked out. Great fit, flexible but thick and offers decent protection. Not what you would get from a hard case, but one of the better gloves I have tried. 24 plus tax.
This is the case I am using until Otterbox releases something I like better. I am not too sure I need an otterbox but I have no issues with this case (body glove)
It fits just fine and offers enough protection for my needs.
I picked up the gel case from samsung's website that says galaxy s on the back, it is pricy at 30 bucks but it fits and looks awesome and has actual raised buttons which is great,i had an all black one but this is a sweet phone and I want it to look sweet, if you spent 200 or more to get a sweet phone spend 30 bucks and get the nicest case made that looks awesome as well, ya know what maybe it was 20 bucks can't remember

That looks like a great case, does it have a built in screen protector? Is it too grippy to slip in and out of a pocket when you aren't using the holster?
It looks like he has a separate screen protector installed, so I'd say no.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Yup wyatyoss, its the sp from the otterbox commuter. Only negative for me is it doesn't fill the whole screen but aside from that its a really tough and scratch resistant protector.
Thanks cade80, its a great case and I recommend it if ur looking for a rugged and functional case and holster. Its not too grippy at all really, goes in and out of pockets just fine as long as its not cramped in with other stuff.

It's a little grippy, but still easily goes in/out of your pocket. The only complaints I have are:
1. The rubber part is a lint magnet. Not a big deal since it wipes off pretty easily.
2. The clip on the holster hooks on a rubber part of the case. It makes it pretty difficult to holster the GNex with one hand since the clip catches the rubber part. It would be nice if the case had plastic at the top so it would just click in to the holster.
Despite these little flaws, it's a great setup. I mainly use the holster at work so I don't have to worry about it getting nasty while in my sweaty pockets. lol.
Bought two for both mine and my Bros gnex. Its really nice got both for 22$ each at www.versiomobile.com I love it... he thinks it slips too easily out of the hand.

Any other cases that'll fit the ext battery that offers a kickstand? Like this case but a tad too bulky for my tastes..

I use this case with the verizon lte version + extended battery.. it's tight, but works..
I've had this case now for months.. I rarely use the kickstand sadly.. however the kickstand is a bit weak and the phone leans a little more than I would like while using the kickstand.. but its the best option I've found thus far..
I'll get in to details later, just posting the pic's now. Will be answering questions as they come along.

Next to the case i'm keeping UAG, in fact i'll be ordering the matte black as well. More Pic's of UAG case
Which case do you like better. I've eliminated all cases but these two. The Maxx has the edge though because of the holster.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
This case felt good in my hand, the only negative thing I can say about this one, is that the silicone was a little big. If you take a look at the last two pictures, you can see that the phone has room to move. The first pic is w/ the phone pushed all the way up, and the following pic is w/ it pushed down... That's the only defect I saw.
Between the heftiest 3... Ballistic SG Maxx, Otterbox Defender, and Trident Kraken, I would recommend them in that order.
But not the UAG? Interesting...

The UAG is not a dual layer case like the sg maxx,otterbox,kraken. It's still a great case but it's one piece.

It's not a heavy duty case, IMO. It's the one I have chosen.
* 101% Madridista × RMCF *
Is there a gap in between the screen and the lip when you removed the screen cover? Would a self-adheseive film make up the gap? How are the port covers, do they open by them selves like some otterbox cases in the past?
I really wanted the Black, but everywhere that I've called say that they only have the silver.
Anyways, what case will you be rocking?
I chose the Seidio Surface case for light use and the Seidio Active w/ kickstand for heavier duty.
this is the first phone I'll primarily be using naked, so I got this as a quick case to put on and off depending on the situation, along with a mime ghost glass tempered glass screen protector

I'd like something thin and clear to show off it's style but I'm bad about dropping my phone. Ideally I'd like something like the old invisishield that's just a layer over the screen and back but also covers all the edges. Any suggestions?
Incipio Dual Pro Shine Silver / Black
http://www.myphonecase.com/products...ver-black?utm_source=googlepla&utm_medium=cpc
Really like it so far. Fits the phone well. The only quarrel I have is that the screen on/off button is hard to hit right, but muscle memory will make it easier in the future.
Urban Armor for me!
Otter Box Commuter series case has never failed me before.
Speck GemShell
I had to cut slits on the sides of the volume buttons though to make it easier to press. Poor design.

I ordered the goospery slim, avoid it. Not only is the fit garbage but they put a sticker inside the case that has been impossible to remove in one piece.
I got the Verizon brand..."high gloss silicone" cover...
I have this case: amazon.com/Poetic-Palette-Premium
Its very minimalistic and feels very soft. Only $8 but I would have paid double.

Definitely an Otterbox, most likely the Commuter.
i just like simple ones haha
