"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

Thanks man. I was looking for something rather slim and durable. I also hate bulky cases.

thats why i only roll with the tough case. slim, durable, good grip. a good slim case is hard to come by

I bought a case for two bucks on amazon. Plastic case, with a kickstand. I love it. I will see if I can find the link. Came with a "stylus" too.

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

Speck Candyshell Soot/Black in Canada?

I am looking for this colour in Canada but cannot find any for cheap shipping. Anybody know where I can find a legitimate site to get this case with a cheap shipping rate?
Thanks
Be careful with those cases alot of people including myself is having issue where they are getting cracked for no apparent reason. If think i will be able to buy an send you the case and it will be cheaper for you then let me know.
Thanks for the heads up. What would be a good alternative for the speck case? I like the way the case looks. But I am also looking for something with decent protection.

Why don't you try Incipio's NGP? It's slim and it has a semi-rigid soft shell case, so it's not hard like the Feather, but not too soft. Never tried it but I would think it has a similar feel to the CandyShell. (Might be mistaken tho). And it's very simple and looks good. It should give you decent protection, but if you want more protection than that, I say go for Otterbox.
Here's link to Incipio's NGP: http://www.incipio.com/Samsung-Gala...laxy-S-III-NGP-Semi-Rigid-Soft-Shell-Case.asp

what material is speck candy made of ?

I would like your opinion about this case.

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
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
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.

[Q] Best case HANDS DOWN IS.......

i HAVE TO SAY THE BEST CASE HANDS DOWN IS THE BALLISTIC MAXX AND IT COMES WITH A HOLSTER. THIS CASE IS LIKE THE OTTERBOX COMMUTER CASE WITH A HOLSTER. EVEN WITH ITS SLIM DESIGN AND WIDE EDGES ITS GIVES MORE PROTECTION THEN THE DEFENDER CASE AND NOT AS BULKY WITH A NICE DESIGN.....GO TO AMAZON ITS GOING FOR AROUND $15 DOLLARS DEFENDER IS ABOUT $50

Why are you yelling????
I believe you are a bit excited?! LOL You may want to check the prices on the defender again though. I picked one up 2 weeks ago for $21. But I must say I'm glad you have found a case that you are content with lol.
That sounds like your opinion
i disagree

The price is too good to be true for this case so it's most likely fake like the others on ebay. Just a heads up because there are many people who thought they were going to get a real one.

Yup. Plus they dont even make those anymore, they got discontinued awhile back. Just the fakes are available now. Maybe few real one but doubt those are it cause of the price. Nonetheless the fake one I had was so close to real. Almost perfect.

Diztronic is a great value case but it is TPU (which I actually prefer). Otherwise, the ACase seems nice as well. Of course, UAG is on amazon as well, but I personally think they are ugly. :shrugs:

I had this case and gave it away. The buttons are difficult to press and the case turned blue from my jeans. Only worth $1 for phone protection

Imo buy dark colors cause eventually lighter colors will stain overtime. My wife has a hot pink ballistic LS series and it started turning purple with jean stain lol. Its easy to clean off tho, so I guess no biggie. But I can only imagine a white case with stains

Favorite/Current Case?

I need a case/cover something that doesn't add much bulk (thin) well protected, and looks good. What's your current or favorite case? I'm looking at this bad boy:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/350548463368
The case I am currently using for my T989 is the Diztronic Matte Back Black TPU Case. I'll be posting a review and pictures of it soon.
I got the Diztronic and it's awesome.
My favorite case by far, is this black TPU gel case. It's super slim too, and slides into my pocket. :good:
I have this one and like it.

Although I haven't seen too many cases up close, I think I would agree. The Diztronic case is slim enough to easily slide into a pocket, it fits the phone really well, and it doesn't cover anything that shouldn't be covered. I had a cheap one from Koodo first, but I hated how it covered the power and volume buttons. The Diztronic case was cheaper and looks a lot better too...just wished they had more colour options available.

Had that case, 'til I removed it one day for cleaning and found that it heavily scratched the chrome finish. And that was when I had the phone for around a month. I am now using the Trident Aegis.

I thought it was a cool case at firsst..... but then it became to cumbersome pressing the buttons & I didnt like the fact that the case made the phone a little wider. for protection the otterbox cases are the way to go but they cann be bulky, I bought myself a diztronic case and I love the fact that its fits perfectly on the phone with access to the buttons and no extra width added to the sides of the phone :good:
I bought one of the fishbone cases and am very happy so far with it. I guess it's a hybrid case in a sense.
The Diztronic is the best case I have ever had, my wife has no complaints with hers either.

Eh...gets cracked after a while (especially if you're one to carry spare batteries and take off the case all the time) , super glued a piece of it back on XD. Currently using a rugged case which feels great and has more protection than the d30 http://www.ebay.com/itm/BLACK-RUGGE...485007?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item5aea735a8f , still use the d30 though sometimes just for the hell of it, it was a good case.
