Best wallet case? - Galaxy S III Accessories

I recently saw the Book Book case get released for the iPhone 5, and decided I want a wallet case for my Galaxy S3. So looking on Amazon, I found a Book Book case for the S3 (although it was probably a knock off, since they're an apple only company from the look of it. It was a really good knock off though if it was one). It was also out of my price range. I also saw the Spigen one, but it was also too much. Does anyone know of a good wallet case that's less than $20, with preferably 3 card slots?

Verizon High Gloss Case for the extended battery

I don't have a picture yet but the case in the link below will be offered by Verizon online and retail stores soon. I was able to talk to someone in customer service that said the extended case was in the equipment guide for the Thunderbolt but stock wasn't available yet for it. Just a heads up for everyone. I'll post a link for the stock battery case so you can get an idea of what I am talking about. She said it looks like black is the only color for now.
http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/accessory?action=accessoryDetails&accessoryId=47488
Again the link above is for the stock battery but Verizon will have one for the Extended battery very soon.
i bought a silicone case once, but found they attract every speck of dust and lint in my pocket. plastic cases dont seem to have this problem
This is a mix of both like a tpu material

So I guess there's no way of knowing if this has a cutout for the battery door or not? I think it looks tacky as hell with a cutout.
I'll have pictures soon. But the screen shot from in the store has the battery door covered. Should have it Thursday or Friday.

I've been waiting for a case like this to get the extended battery. Now I'm not sure if I'm going to wait and see if some sort of slim extended battery comes out or just get the extended battery that is out now and this case, decisions decisions.

Otterbox defender

My local sprint store has the defender now so if youve been waiting for it you might want to give them a call. Fits perfect but does add bulk to the phone. I took the screen protecter off also because im using a zagg hd.

Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
just got mine last night. sprint store was supposed to call me when they got them in. glad i found this thread.
For those that are lucky enuff to have found these in stores near by, were they all black or did they have any of the other two colors? The guy at my Sprint store is supposed to call me when they get them and I want the Glacier one, but all I have heard was people finding black ones so far. If black's the only one being shipped I'll end up going with that if I find it first since I can't stand carrying this phone around without it being protected.
Two things for me is no way will I pay that for a piece of plastic and rubber. Plus with that wide of a case my thumb wouldn't be able to reach the opposite side of the screen. No single hand tapping anymore.
Think I am just going to get a cheapo rubber case to give me some grip on the back.

[PIC] just got my moko case!!!! Best bang for your Buck !!!

Can't believe how nifty this case is. It has a hard back , flip cover and wake lock !! Yet it doesn't add much bulk, just how I like it. The ports are nice and easy to access. The case hugs the device nicely and its sleek looking. Unlike those leather crap around the bezel .
Overall I was planning to get a premium case but for this price I might just skip the premium case. Unless its reasonably priced.

Looks nice, I ordered the same one as well as the Poetic slimline.
When did you order yours? I was under the impression that they weren't being shipped until the 16th.
Now it says the 20th for shipping.
Look good. I ordered a white one. Yea I thought they were shipping out the 20th.
Oddly enough my portenzo hasn't arrived and said it was supposed to be done by the 9th. This thing really needs a case cause I'm so paranoid with it right now.

If you were worried you could always apply some clear packing tape over the metal part. That stuff sticks like...packing tape!
How sturdy is it when in stand form (both high and low). It it really stable?

I can confirm it's sturdy enough because the magnets keep the cover in place so it doesn't unfold itself. It also folds both ways meaning you can have the inside of the cover showing or the black side showing.

From the nexus 10 review the moko is generally better build quality than poetic... Plus covering the side and bottom just makes it more difficult to use them... Disclaimer I have the moko for nexus 10... Its great for the price

What case are you using

I haven't had any luck finding a case yet in the mall and the cases at the store were ugly. I hate shopping amazon bc the pics never show the real quality and protection. Just curious as to what people are using as far as brands thus far. I love the feel but I need to protect this $708 investment!

Fitment is good, it adds minimal thickness to the device, and seems like it will add just enough protection to make me happy. I had a similar case on my Note II and was very happy.

decided to go with a cheap TPU for just under $2 shipped from ebay, I prefer TPU over the minimalist cases because it protects the top and bottom of the phone.

And I actually purchased that same Diztronic case thanks to your post in the other thread. I figured it was pretty simplistic enough to get me through as I wait for my neo hybrid.
