Lately i have seen a lot of posts about broken gs3 screens, and i'm really afraid that something like that could happen to my beloved gs3.
At this moment i am using a regular silicon case, which i don't believe gives me enough protection.
So i have been researching the best case to protect my phone without adding much bulkiness.
I found this option on amazon and it seems quite interesting....and good looking.

A little expensive but if protects my gs3 i won't care
So...what do think about it guys ?

It looks abit bulky but should do the job.
But maybe take a look on ebay for it. Maybe find it a little bit cheaper

Looks too One X or death star to me. It totally ruins the elegant look the GS3 goes for.
If I and to get a bulky case, I would go for Capdase armor jacket. Although I am not sure if the Aluminum kills reception or not.
Nahh...i've droped mine a couple of times with and without a tpu case and not a single scratch mate....
I also saw some drop/durability tests and i've seen the S3 is strong!
Maybe the first units had durability issues...?
Anyway i would spend money if i were you...
But if you want to stay free of guilts not buing a decent case undoubtly get an otterbox!
they're simply the best!You wont regret it....
Seems like good protection, but I like more the looks of the Otterbox Commuter for a "bulky case" (And I've heard is one of the betters in matters of protection). I'm supposed to get an Incipio Silicrylic any time this week, I decided to go for it because I thought a Commuter was overkill for my daily use and the Incipio seems to be stylish. I hope I don't regret that choice
Also, I think this should be in the Accessories section?
Well for what i have seen it the thinnest of the bulky cases. That is why i've got so interested. Also it looks pretty bad ass.
But i will check all your suggestions too.
I am still searching for a case to my new toy..the N7.

Just got mine from US to UK, took less than a week to arrive
After 2 official samsung flip cases fell apart (1 in first 10 days) I saw this and liked the look of it.
It's obviously more bulky than before but not enough to bother me. It's fairly lightweight too. Having side protection as well as the cool looking back won me over.
It Cost me £28 including delivery. Having spent over £16 (£30rrp) before on the samsung cases I can tell you the quality is far superior.
You get a screen protector included too (after a lot of time and swearing trying to fit the bast**do with no dust trapped) looks pretty good.

My White UAG case just came in the mail today, so far i love it. Has a nice feel to it, not bulky at all and feels like a sturdy case. For $20 i wasnt gonna pass it up black/white combo looks nice on the white S3 :good:
I use the otterbox defender,does what it says on the tin.
But it hides my beautiful phone.

I love it....and I hate cases. One question before I order it. Is the power button cut out? Does work well unlocking screen or is it a little tough. Thanks for the heads up on a great looking case.

also is it a dust bunny or is it like TPU
I got the exact same one but in red off Amazon for about $10. It's a great case, and I love it.
The power button seems easier to press IMO but it is a pain to remove the thing because sometimes the battery cover comes off when removing, but that just means that it's a tight fitting case and I highly recommend it.

I've had it for about 2 weeks now. No dust issues on my black/red case.
I really like this case as well, and for the $7 shipped from Amazon, it really can't be beat.
picked up one of these as well, black/black, fits well and little added bulk. This is the first phone case I've actually liked.
I bought the same case except clear smoked on the whole back and black on the sides. A lot like the awesome Griffin REVEAL case for the first incredible

I'm not big on cases, especially since my car dock won't accommodate the DINC 2 with a case, but i picked one up due to the great reviews. It will be nice to have if I'm doing something besides going to the office.
Ahh that yellow one looks pretty awesome. I'm tired of having all-black cases and this OtterBox Defender needs to go, just makes the phone too bloated and have a hard time getting to the Q and P on the GB keyboard. This will defintely be my next case!
To each his own
I bought that case in black/red and also a tpu black case with a wave pattern. I hated the TPU/plastic black/red that you are referencing didn't even put it on didn't like the feel of it.
The TPU black case has a wave pattern that makes it much better to grip and doesn't show smudges that much due to the pattern. The TPU wave case was noticeably slimmer. I still wish I had a slimmer case but the wave case is quite nice.
I think I got it from the link below.
http://www.cellularoutfitter.com/p-...in-tpu-silicone-case-wave-pattern-black-.html
Edit: They are on sale for 4 bucks I am getting a wave tpu red case and white one as well!
The only thing I hate is that it is not easy at all to take off the case.. I always get the back cover stuck in the case and can't get it out..

Kraken or Otterbox? Which of the two is better? I really like both cases, and I've heard good and bad things about both. I would appreciate any input, especially of you own/have owned either cases.

I like the look of otterbox better, but tridant has the kick stand...so depends on what you think you'd use more. I had an otterbox on my phone for a while but realized the bulk was too much since I baby my phone. I'm sure same would be for the trident. If you drop ur phone a lot or do a lot of hiking with it, bulk it up....but otherwise it really takes away from the slim design.

I haven't seen an AMS until now, ordered mine. 34.95 on amazon.
I have the otterbox defender case. The back of my holster clip locks in so it can be a kickstand. Its very bulky but it works.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
I have the trident aegis. With trident cases, the plastic is on top of the silicone when you put it on, with silicone sticking out on the corners. That way, the silicone doesn't easily stretch like it does on the otterbox. Especially if you take off your case on a regular basis. I have the defender for my ipod touch, and I've used it on other devices as well. In my opinion, the screen protector is horrible as well. The worst I've ever used(yes its worse than those cheap ones you can get off ebay in a 3 pack for 3 dollars). Trident cases also have dust covers over the mic and speaker grill, whereas the otterbox does not. So I say go with the Kraken. It would be worth it.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
Thanks. I decided to but the Otter from BestBuy, and also order the Kraken online to try both out when the Kraken gets here. The first day with the Otter was terrible with the screen protector, but now it's a lot better, since I guess it either stuck to my screen better, or O got used to it. Does anyone know the quality of the built in protector for he Kraken? And also, one last thing, if I were to drop the Kraken, since the outside is; plastic, how durable is that plastic. Because the thing I like the most is he outside rubber for the Otter.

Just got my Kraken today, absolutely love it. As for the screen protector, I threw it away, didn't even bother with it. I've had ghost Armor on all of my phones as well as my wife's phone, I get a new one put on once a month and have never had a problem. The plastic around the Kraken is very durable and wouldn't be worried if I drop the phone. I'm coming from an Aegis, a lot better protection and I've owned otterboxes before, Kraken from here on out for me.

i just got this case a few days ago and i like it so far. im coming from an otterbox, which i started to not like that much after the rubber outer layer began to get weak. im sure i could probably contact otterbox about it and they would likely send another one. but i wanted to give the kraken a shot since i really like the aegis and my only contention with it was that there was no kickstand or belt clip. i have to get used to the texture, hard and a lil slippery is much different from the otterbox's soft grippy exterior...but not a downer by any means. also, i found the screen protector to be decent and actually a welcome edition. i was ready to go without it or use a Realook screen saver that i have, but the one that comes with the Kraken is nice and im not having an issue with it at all.
one issue i do have with the Kraken is that they didn't design it with a hole for the indicator light (top right). i actually use mine and when im doing in the field and my phone is on silent. so that would be a good thing to adjust if they can for future designs.
Be different, go trident... I see too many otterboxs.. Mostly on iphones though

I've gone through about 7 cases now, trying to find the most quality protection I can get without getting something too thick or too expensive.
...finally decided to stop being a cheapass and start considering the Aegis Trident. Anyone with this have any regrets? Does this follow the trend of loosening the slide mechanism and scratching up the gamepad like so many other cases do?
Been using for almost a year now, best case for xperia play plus has 1 year warranty. Buy it.

Here's a lengthy post I posted on this thread:
MY POST
It pretty much tells you I have absolutely no regrets on having the Aegis Trident case for the Xperia PLAY.
Best decision imo for a case. It helps in the xperia play's case more cause it doesn't affect the opening of the gamepad or use of it. And there's soft plastic covering for the buttons so they stick out and are easier to use without looking fro them.

I just wanna extend a GREAT thanks to you all, especially narflynn... went ahead and bought the Trident and GOOD LORD this thing is lovely!
Great build quality, great feel... and it just looks nice! This combined with my fresh new 64GB card has made my Xperia Play something I'll probably never replace.
No regrets, but i do have a little difficulty with the power button not pressing correctly sometimes.
My gamer pad has got a little scratched but I don't know for sure if its the case that has caused this, but can get an undamaged replacement from eBay for £15.

After finding out that my xplay basically came with a screen protector. I somehow felt like it was a waste to use the trident cover. So I rarely use it on my play...only on days where I feel like the touching the trident cover (and i really do love the feel of my trident cover) I would put it on.
Makes the play 2 big but still love it.

Why would having a built in screen protector make the Trident a waste? They aren't the same.

"good" and "cheap" dont often work well together. it's either a cheap case that might protect your phone when you drop it or its a good case that you spent $20+ on. if you're going for looks and dont want to spend a lot, there's thousands of cases. otterbox cases are too bulky for me. i always use case mate's "tough case" on my galaxy phones. good luck

Cheap and gets the job done. Not too bulky also it depends where you buy the case from...Amazon is cheapest and fastest to avoid the stores markup.
An otterbox commuter is about $20 on Amazon and works well for me.
A clear backed bumper hybrid case is what I use when I want smaller and they are cheap and work well for protection for me but you need a well raised front face bumper to protect the screen though
try ebay or amazon
i prefer ebay, if you want cheaper cases
and in my opinion, they are pretty good, especially the gel ones
Absolutely love these Diztronic cases. For such a cheap case their attention to detail is spot on and all cutouts are cut precisely. Going to be using this case for a while since Spigen support refuses to contact me back due to an issue with my Slim Armor case.
Let me know if you have any questions about the case!
You can order it here: http://www.amazon.com/Diztronic-Mat...=1384301727&sr=8-1&keywords=diztronic+nexus+5
Took 4 days for me to receive it after I ordered it.
