The rest of the phone seems great. But, it still feels like low class garbage. I love the screen and how it looks along with the complete design of the phone.
But, this phone is made from the same low quality soft plastic the first galaxy was made out of. What gives?
It's the same plastic everything else is made out of.
It was in your title, "cheap plastic".
Lower cost means higher profit.
If you've got any sense, you're just gonna end up feeling glass and whatever your case is made of anyways

It actually isn't cheap plastic. It's high quality, durable plastic. Aluminum dents and scratches, as does glass. Plastic actually shows less wear.

Please. . . Sadly to say, an iPhone really can handle way more damage than this phone.
I really do love to hate the iPhone. But, there is no way you can compare the material quality.

Then buy the iPhone. I personally think the plastic is fine.I use mines with no case. Dropped it once and tend to throw my phone on its battery case into a table once I get home and have yet to c any scratches. But hey if u love the materials on the iPhone then get it. No one would fault you for it

I do hate the back of the phone though lol. I wonder how many times you can swap the battery before something snaps off. Reminds me of pulling the interior from my car.

It's not bad. I agree iPhone feels more solid in your hand, but I don't think the S3 feels "cheap" by any stretch of the imagination.
I don't want an iPhone. . . But, why does the quality of Sansui's **** have to suck? It looks so cool.
The Galaxy S III has polycarbonate plastic -- same as the One X and Lumia series.
Everything I've seen shows the iphone as pretty much the least durable smart phone out there(and I can't tell you how many people break them, pretty much everyone I know that has one has broken it at least once) .. The GS3 is close too it though, but still a little better.

Exactly this. The iPhone is much less durable than the plastic. I understand that OP may like glass/aluminum more than plastic, but the plastic on the S3 can take a harsh beating.
If you scratch the **** out of the back of the S3 it's like $3 to replace the back cover. Lets see iphone do that.
I just got rid of my iPhone5 and picked up a GS3. I'd much rather have this phone's plastic than the iPhone's aluminum shell. That thing is more delicate and prone to scratches. This phone feels like I can worry less when I use it. I don't even have a case yet and I don't feel too bothered.
When I shake my s3 it rattles..... iPhone doesn't.
Modern plastics are as strong as steel.

Actually it does by the camera, Google it I had one but I return it, is a solid device tho, I seriously didn't like the gs3 at first but now I like it a lot, it doesn't feel like cheap plastic to me, the s2 felt like that tho

I actually like the plastic feeling makes it less heavy to hold and one hand use becomes so much easy. Its easy on the hands when holding it for an extended time

I had to take my case off today and held the phone naked and forgot how freakin awesome it feels without a case.
I might just go raw dogs on this phone for a bit.

I agree. I have a screen protector on the front and I will be getting a vinyl skin soon to protect the back. I always thought cases personally made the phone look uglier.
I understand the purpose of it, since the phone is at least a 2yr commitment, but damn, I can't stop touching this phone again after taking the cover off. And I had a thin drizonic tpu case too....
Fack it, no case for you...thats y I have insurance right?
i've gone caseless and haven't looked back, now i have 2 useless TPU cases just laying around.
I like my phone like I like my wife. Naked. No case, except for my belt one and no screen protector.
The thing is cases will be effect on the future, I mean when u try to sell ur phone and get a good price. So I believe on the screen protector and cases. My phone on the way and already have the case and the screen protector ready
I've been going around without protection since I got it. It feels better and imo looks better. I don't even have a screen protector and I haven't suffered a single scratch (knock on wood). I haven't been overly careful with the phone either I keep it in my pocket allot I fall asleep with it and roll around all night and I leave the thing just about everywhere and it's dropped a few times onto hard surfaces.
Yea I agree with all the above except that all its takes is one fumble and your phone is toast....
I don't care much about scratches or looks. I want my GNEX to last. I've already dropped it once and can't image what would have happened without my otterbox.
I don't feel like treating my 700 gnex like a baby so I feel much better when using my case even if it is uglier and more bulky.
Test,
I knoowwww!! I took of my Gnex out of the case to clean it , and god this phone is soo slim and sexy. if Samsung could just use less plastic on their phones
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
I know what you mean. So sexy naked but I just can't afford to rock it that way. I have the incipio dual case and I love it. Very slim. The one thing I do not like about the case is all of the lint it contracts on a daily basis.

True. At least with my DX I could drop it and it would still be OK.
But alas, I hate cases, so no case or screen protector for me.

Hey believe me, I'd much rather use it without the case!
I just don't trust that it could take a fall from 3 feet without one.
The screen may not crack or break or even get scratched but the innards are my concern.
To me its like traveling with a Gibson Les Paul without a case...lol
Test,
Get a Ringke Slim Metallic case, it's the same color as the body and it's really subtle so you won't notice the phone has a case.
I do agree though that the phone is plain sexy naked, had a TPU for a bit but couldn't stand how it uglified this piece of art. The Ringke case is a good compromise (got a few minor scratches on the case - which would of been on the phone if not for the case).
Screw that the phone feels good but its damn slippery.
Yes every time I take my phone off my case it feels soooooo sexy and I always think about running nekkid but then the nicks and dings sets in my head hahahah

Too flashy for me... But that's just me. There's also a detailed review around here somwhere about the premium aluminium case that is pretty similar, only matt black. In my opinion that's a lot better suited
Then again, it's just me. If you're wondering about protection, then I suppose it does offer quite a lot of it
In my experience metal casing never feels comfortable in the hands, at least on mine never did. All those edges starts to hurt your hands in long usage :/

Metal casing can affect signal attenuation. I wouldn't recommend metal.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
That case looks awesome, very sexy with the white, kind of reminds me of Real Madrid. I heard the same about metal cases effecting signal though.
I would still consider it if it was available in black or gunmetal for mine.

I like the look of these bumper cases, but I don't like their size (width/height). I think they don't fit in my pockets.
No way i would put that on my Note its metal connected to the outer polished note metal.. i bet you A month down the road your trim on the note will get damaged...
I have Many Covers Buy i like this one

Its very nice. Personally I go for a strong primary in a mesh case (not the micro mesh)( and sorry no picture as my phone cannot easily take a picture of itself).
Personally I think the S2 is incomplete without a case; its so light and thin it almost floats out of your hand without one.
The S3 needs one because it's so slippery. I enjoyed the film they made about how the design ethos was based on nature but they could have chosen something other than a fish or an eel for the body as it so easily slithers away.
good thread
4g lte network
all the company launch slim phones which are light in weight ..so these are very easy to handle but these all are slippery so ..it think case is necessary for these phones ....without case these are incomplete....

I also can't use the phone without a case. It's just too light and slim. I think what some did to their phone was good, small size but solid structure and somewhat heavy. Makes the phone feel much more high quality.

Yeah, and who need a screen protector too right? I'm kind of getting tired of reading that crap.
I know we have quite a few Iphone users in here so I thought I'd do this write up.
This case is amazing! If you have used them on the Galaxy S3 you know what im talkong about.
Looks:
It is a very industrial looking case. It looks rugged yet stylish. I love the black with the shiny letters; it really makes my phone stand out.
Fit:
This case offers a very tight fight. I must admit it's hard to take off once it's on but that just proves that it fits the phone perfect. No loose rubbery feeling here.
Everything else:
Well the case itself is quite thin. My phone doesn't feel like a brick and yet it feels vwry protected. I like that a screen protector was included; by the way it works great. It is a good thickness and feels just like glass. All the buttons work great and the cutouts were big enough that I've had no issues with chargers or headphones.

Thanks it is cool, but what is the price?
Please dont post related to iphone on xda
http://www.amazon.co.uk/JKase-DIABLO-Series-Rugged-Protection/dp/B00BWX7DMM
This is a serious bargain on Amazon UK and an excellent case.
I was lookin for a really good protective case for my One having almost dropped it several times but wasn't in a position to spend much money and after a search came across this.
It's a fairly rugged case but doesn't add loads of weight to the phone, it can be a tad tricky putting the case on but fits perfectly and although I haven't dropped it I'd be confident if I did my phone would be fine, it also looks really nice too.
For this price you really can't go wrong and I'd give it 9/10 definitely.
Photos to follow.
ohh man .. this is one ugly case. lol

When compared to the naked phone. It's ugly.
On the Rich Man's HTC, sipping moonshine. now Free
Its nice...but luking quite bulky one...may hit the look of phone to the worst...but the price offered is quite nice one too...so its all upto a buyer whether he/she wish to go up with the look only or want to protect the phone.....but its not much bad even....
I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. IMO that case is hideous and a shame it covers such a gorgeous phone.

I agree it's an ugly case. The best protection and looks is the Otterbox Commuter.. It really protects the phone well since the back and edges scratch so easily. Trust me on this.
Looks like the One broke out with severe acne. I agree, kind of on the ugly side.
