I keep hearing about how nice the Diztronic cases are for the GS3. I watched a review online of the matte black one and it just looks like a normal thin TPU case. What is so nice about them? Just curious as I've already purchased a Speck Candyshell case.
Thanks!

There is nothing special about them other than it does what it was meant for very well. It fits the phone nicely and has a little nicer feel than the $3 ebay TPUs. Oh, btw, don't purchase the matte blue version and expect to be happy with it matching your pebble blue. The glossy sides are too purple looking. The matte back matches but not the sides and front. I would go with the black if I could do it over.

Thanks, I'll see how my Speck looks/feels and decide if I want to grab one of the Diztronic's as well since they are so cheap.
I have the zoogue and what i heard is they are pretty much same except the zoogue has covered buttons. I love mine so far.

I had the matte white one and while it felt good in my hands, the color turned to crap quickly...if you put it in your jeans pocket, it will turn blueish...then I got a zoogue case....I'm actually surprised at how well it feels and the construction of the case feels solid... best case I've used so far
I have the matte black version for the S3. hands down the best tpu case I've used. Matte finish is great, cutouts and fitment is flawless, edges are very solid and tight around phone. The most surprising part is the included dry install SP is the absolute best I've used on this phone.... All for $9.
I believe they live up to the hype.

Where did you buy it from? Amazon?
I have bought Diztronic, but I don't use it. It doesn't work with whole screen protector from Realook.
So I did not like it. Also my case had misaligned cutouts.

They have said that somehow you need to place fingernail to adjust case properly.
I like the texture, but don't use because of incompatibility with my SP.

I'm looking for a pretty thin case that will just give me a better grip on the phone and still keep the slim form factor. Liike a rubberized coating, not gel type that attracts dust and lint.
The depth the edges of the case add to the screen has to be minimal too if you know what I mean. The only case that I have in mind right now is the seido surface case.
Incipio Feather all the way. Not sure where you are located, but if there is a US Cellular store in your area, they carry them in stock for their GS2 (which is the same as ours). It is about as minimal as you can get, and it looks amazing on the phone.
You could also go standard TPU, but I like the Feather a lot better.
I have this one

Another vote for the Feather here. Nice grippy feel, still easily removed from pocket, minimal bulk added to phone. Can lay the phone flat on its face without fear of any screen damage, or face up without the camera lens touching the surface. perfect fit. I got the grey case and it looks great.
I've picked up one of these....amazing! Feels great on your hand..

I do. It's thin, but definitely not what I would consider minimalistic case as it's thicker and has a bit of weight to it. The kickstand causes the thickness but is by far one of the most useful things I've used for an accessory.

I don't have a top 3 but i've owned the trident aegis and neo hybrid and sent them both back cos of problems with the buttons.
currently I have the seidio active with kickstand which is ok but I find it slippy in the hand. I also have a cheap tpu case which is pretty good but got the acase super legerra this morning which is superb. good grip, not much bulk, buttons work great and fits perfectly and only £10!
Samsung orginal is the best one
poor build quality but best suitet

have to agree with the acase.
Hey. I currently have a cheap 2$ case from Ebay. The problem with it, that it doesnt have a good feeling, I mean its not comfortable to hold the phone, and I dont like how it feels. I am looking to buy a case from the hiqh quality brands : Otterbox, Cae Mate, Incipio, SGP... I realy cant decide which one of them to buy. As I mentioned before, I want the case to have a good feeling in the hand and it has to be comfortable to hold...
Thanks..
I just ordered a Ringke SLIM Case, after doing a lot of research on cases that pay attention to the "feel". I haven't received it yet, so all I have to go on is the videos on YouTube. Runner up was the Incipio Feather, which was actually a little cheaper. I'm hoping this is a case where you pay a little extra to get a better quality product. We'll see.
It is a hugely subjective feeling. Does the Nexus feel big in your hand? Can you handle a case that will add a bit of thickness to it? If you want protection, then all of the slim cases like the Feather and SLIM won't function in that way. If you want a relative slimness, with good in-hand feel, and protection, I'd recommend the Seidio Surface or the Active (my favorite), with the Kickstand, since the design allows for it to hide while you hold it.
I like the incipio case that verizon sells and it fits with the extended battery too.
^^^ Agreed. The Incipio Silicrylic is an awesome case with great protection. Its a tad loose on the back of my gsm gnex but it fits great none the less. And they have a wide array of colors

i have the Ringke SLIM Case and i think its ok. but the protection sucks. one drop and the phone will probably get messed up pretty bad. i only have it because it came with my phone when i bought it used. but if you like a case that is really slim and doesn't add much bulk and feels nice. i think its a good case. i really miss the cruzerlite cases. they are good protection and they have good grip. i would give up my case for one of those in a heart beat. lol
Edit: here is some pics if it helps.
I've got one of those cheapo s-shape TPU cases and it feels great in the hand.
Thanks for the comments, guys. I think I am gonna get the SGP case. I watched some reviews on Youtube and It looks great..

i've been really happy with the Incipio silicrylic hybrid case.
it's pretty rugged and i've had numerous drops without a scratch or anything. everything's covered and the buttons are easy to push.
i had the casemate hybrid before. that one was pretty good too but i didn't care for how the lip around the screen was grey.
Hello all,
I've had my S3 for over a month now and have been using it bare since day 1. I just can't find a thin and good looking case anywhere. So I'm here to ask you guys what cases are out there that you might suggest?
I'm looking for something, think/sleek, masculine colours , "lay on the table", under $25. Please no bulky cases like OtterBox or anything in that fashion. Those look nasty. LOL
Also looking for a good screen protector. I don't want to purchase the cheap ones at the mall for $1 a piece.
Thanks!
Happy New Year,

Get the SGP curved crystal like the above says along with the SGP Modello case in black or gray. You may still be able to find them on ebay. It is a very slim tpu case. Good luck!
Thanks for the replies, guys! Seems like SGP is the way to go for screen protectors.
Anyone know why they like to discontinue their products after a few months on the market? I love the look of the Neo Hybrid, but the only way I can get them now is on Craigslist or eBay.
Take a look at dba cases and their JustLikeGlass screen protector, both are very nice.
best case for s3 = UAG.

The OP said no bulky cases, the UAG isn't exactly slim. The DBA slimgrip is a good, really thin case, and the complete ultra is a really thin full coverage case.

I have several cases and just received the Ringke Slim Lite case. It has to be the slimmest case in my collection but also the one offering the least protection. For $10 on Amazon you really can't go wrong with the case it feels really soft and I really like that my phone still keeps the skim profile it has.

Ultra cases from DBA was the best solution for me because it's consisted of 2 parts so you can also mix the colors the way that suits you most.

Good to know, question though does it have a screen guard like the otterbox defender does. I prefer it not to.
I just bought the Ballistic SG case yesterday, will report back when it arrives. I already have a TPU and a heavy duty case so I was looking for a mid range protection.

No it doesn't have a screen protector.
Some things I like about the case:
1. Phone seems pretty well protected but I can't tell you for certain because I haven't dropped my phone yet.
2. Assembly / disassembly is rather simple.
3. No screen protector
4. Cut outs leave a lot of space so accessing the headphone jack and charging port is easy.
Things I don't like:
1. The back of the case is rather slippery.
2. The rubber on the corners is somewhat loose, which could be a problem if it loses elasticity.
I think the Trident Cyclops case is better than the Ballistic in most areas. However, I'm using the Ballistic regularly because the the adapter on my headphones won't fit in the headphone port using the Trident case.
My Ballistic SG case came in today, fits great, nice wide cutouts and a matte texture on the back so its not slippery.

My case came yesterday, it is a great. It fits very well, buttons are very easy to access w/o getting pressed inadvertently. It is not slippery at all either. To me there are only two downfalls, one being that it covers the Moto dimple and the other being that the lips are a little tall on the front making the quick camera swipe a little tricky but still doable.

I found the Ballistic case for the Nexus 5 to be fairly slippery on the sides, but less so on the back. Is the Ballistic case for the Moto X the same (lightly rubberized on the back only)?
Yes the sides of the Ballistic SG case are hard plastic and slick compared to the back. Case is not slippery though.
