If you go with Otterbox, stay away from the Defender. It is nowhere near the quality you would expect for that price, and doesn't come close to the quality of the Defender for iPhone. Lots of people have had bad experiences with Seidio as well, their cases tend to fall apart after only a short while and their warranty process is ridiculous. The TPU cases are cheap pieces of junk too. Trust me, they don't look nearly as nice in person as they do in pictures. If you want something rugged I would recommend the Trident Cyclops or the Ballistic HC. For something middle of the road go with the Otterbox Commuter, and for the thinest case possible go with the Casemate Barely There.
Thanks for the info

Or you can get a TPU case off of ebay. Its less than 5 bucks and I like it alot. Its nothing fancy at all, but its a hybrid of the hard plastic snap cases and the silicone cases. It provides some front screen and rear camera protection too. sot he rear camera doesnt hit the table etc when set down. It also wraps around the corners nicely and "Snaps" if you will, around the edges.
I picked up one of these for under $5 and it fits like a glove! It's a thin silicone case and then a hard outer shell, but doesn't add much bulk to my evo. They have other colors as well and it's a US seller to boot so no waiting for a month for your new case to arrive from HK. Remove the @ and replace with a .

I just got the seidio innocase active on ebay for like 25 bucks. I've never like how bulky the otterbox cases are and this case has a really nice feel to it almost like its part of the phone.
TPU for the win. I got a smoked clear one like a month ago and love it. My 2 yr old nephew threw my phone against the wall on NYE. I was kinda freaked for a second and I picked it up and everything was ship shape. Also dropped it once on the carpet in my office and zero problems whatsoever. Totally happy and impressed for $5 dollars.
Tpu!!! Thin and fashionable with a great hint of protection. Luxmo makes great ones with screen protectors! Trust me, I own 8 different cases.

I'm a big fan of the Ballistic case.Outstanding protection. I like the bulky feel of it.
This has been a telepathic transmission from the Outer Limits.
I'd recommend do some research find which case you like best then Craigslist Brotha. I agree I wouldn't pay 50 bucks for my otterbox deffender series. But I got it for 25 bucks new in box off some guy on Craigslist ill take that deal all day so give it a try is all I'm saying.

Best buy has these Platinum cases which fit nicely over the evo and even on top of a screen protector. Dust accumulates but it's not too bad. Just clean it once a week.
If you end up using a Seido Innocase (not the rugged or active) like I do then you'll have to shop well for an enclosed holster if you need one of those too because the fit becomes different. Amazon is full of reviews of all the Otterboxes, Seido, etc-good and bad. They often come with a belt clip holster that doesn't enclose the phone entirely (for me, the camera lens is exposed)...I like them and use them, but I also require an enclosed holster for added protection in some environments. The Innocase is a two piece case which I like...but it doesn't get torqued around in my pocket like it does for some folks (some folks claim the case becomes loose and starts to squeak--and also claim debris gets in and rubs the finish of the edges of their Evo). Mine has held up well, but I treat it with kid gloves and the phone never goes in my pocket.
i just got the Rearth Ringke case and i like it. granted, i haven't tried any other case, but it's much nicer than the crappy case my wife has on her evo from best buy. it's a nice tight fit and the buttons are very easy to push. it's thin and light and adds little to no extra bulk. my wife was jealous and wants one now too!
So currently I have a cheap case I bought on ebay and it's messing up my invisibleshield on the sides. Whenever I grip the sides it pushes up against the shield and dust gets in there.
I'm considering buying a new case but I'm not sure what one to get so it won't mess up the shield. Anyone have any ideas? I was thinking the tpu case but I'm not sure. What do you guys think?

Hands down the best cases you can get for your phone at the TPU fusion cases. All TPU cases are great, but the TPU fusion just has a slightly higher level of detail.
There is a thread in this section about the TPU fusion cases that also has an online coupon code for like 10% off their already really cheap price.
I would link but I'm feeling lazy today. Happy hunting

I agree! Best case I've used so far (and I've used silicone, tpu, trident cyclops, and the aegis). Thing rocks and really does protect

Used to have more colors but now only have black, clear and red.
Act quick!
I originally bought the black gel skin from T-Mobile when I bought my phone. It was a lint magnet, though, and it added a significant amount of bulk to the phone. So I ended up buying a translucent smoke colored TPU case, OEM HTC variety, from Amazon. It's nice, feels good, looks good, has cutouts for all the buttons (so they aren't hard to press like some TPU cases) and doesn't add a huge amount of bulk to the phone, while also making it easier to hold onto.
I have used the Otterbox Commuter and the TPU Fusion case. I switch between the two. Plus they both protect the phone well and fit inside of my Seidio holster.
Trident aegis case FTW

Is the Seidio holster you're using the standard one for the MT4G? Or did you have to use a larger size? I'm looking for a good case to replace the Seidio one I'm currently using, but I like the design of the Seidio holster...

As previously stated, the trident case is very good, but if your not willing to spend the money you can go for the TPU fusion. Its cheaper, and still has a modern look to it.

lol this seems like itll feel weird, especially in the pocket
the TPU Fusion case is the best ive seen..
the regular silicone cases are nice too but the rubber is so grip-y that its hard to pull the phone out of the pocket lol
The trident case looks great I'm going to order it.
my sister has the TPU case and i think im going to pick one up they look great and feel good in the hands.
I bought this. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004K575E0/ref=oh_o02_s00_i01_details
It's not so much a case IMO but more of a glove. The phone remains extremely slim still and its pretty stiff.

Try the Otterbox Commuter case. It's fairly cheap for a otterbox, and it looks like it'd be a good case that would work well with invisishield,
Looking for the thinnest and best fitting TPU style case. So far, I know of the Incipio NGP, Diztronic and Cruzerlite. What do you guys recommend?

I'm using the Diztronic matte blue one. Fits really well and looks great, much better than the cheapo one I picked up on ebay :silly:
Hasn't anyone used all 3 of the cases I listed above for their S3 and can compare? Wondering which one's the thinnest.
In have the diztronic matte black and it's great. Its not too thick and has a decent grip to it. Some have said the cruzerlite tpu cases have a ribed side for grip.
+1 For Diztronic matte black. Thin, light, good fit, easy to remove, no finger prints, slides easily in and out pockets, provides "adequate" protection of all 4 side edges given its thickness and a light lid-bumper around the front edges of the screen helps keep the screen from touching flat surfaces when the SGS3 is placed face-down. Btw... it also looks good.
I have all 3 and I must say the THINNEST hands down is none of the above. Samsung actually makes the thinnest TPU case and also while its the thinnest it has covered flaps for the 3.5mm headphone jack and the micro usb charging port! While I love my clear matte back Diztronic case the Samsung one has it beat in terms of sheer thinness. It also has the least amount of lip so it doesn't lift the edges of a Zagg or other full screen protector. Just my 2 cents.

The Body Glove tpu case is actually really thin on my S3 and its 20 bucks on Smartphonepedia.com. I hope this helps

I find it lame that people review cases and use the terms "thin" and "slim" in term reviews... These terms are totally useless to me as they can mean drastically different things to different people. When I do case reviews I try to include measurements whenever possible.
Example, post #4 of my Igadgitz TPU case review:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762539
I think if more an more people start doing this, everyone will be better off.

When you get both, will you perhaps do a side by side review of them for us? I like to hear what other people think about our stuff and how it stacks up against other cases.

Will do.
The Mercury Pearl is by far the best fitting and looking TPU for the SGS3.
IMHO, YMMV...
i have a diztronic and the cruizerlite case. i like the cruizerlite better but thats mainly because it has the cool design all over it. the diz is just a plain cae. the diz is thinner than the cruizer but the cruizer has the ribbed sides so it grips better. they both fit about the same. the ridge on the front that touched the screen is a little thicker on the cruizer. i'd recommend either to anyone!

I really like my mercury translucent Incipio NGP case. Only downside is that the covered power button is a little harder to click.
really like my matte black ditztronic

D3o cases are junk. Especially the ones with the softish plastic backing. The all black one piece is alright,but still junk.
The ones with the colored plastic backing are prone to cracking just be taking off the case. Big no-no since I wash my case periodically.
On top of that, the 3.5mm slot is too small. Only slim jacks fit while the d3o case is on. I'm not willing to change my Sennheisers just because design flaws of the case.
Don't forget how much force it takes to push the power button. Over time,this can damage the power button by recessing it in. I switched to the white body glove. Its properly designed and does what I need it do.

i have a case similar to this, one of the amazon variants.
any who i really like the design, especially the thick corners which is what many times takes the impact of the drop. i have not had problems with screen bubbling up either
I purchased the white body glove case from tmobile store and its doing the job. I've dropped the phones a couple of times already, and its still doesnt show any scratches unless your eyeball is touching the case.
I got one from moster accessory website called the black transfusion hard cover case an I really like it as my second case. My first case was the D30, but the transfusion case was more cheaper than the d30.

This Seidio case is the one I use. I've dropped it several times, and it has a few nicks and scuffs on it. Love it, though, as it is very durable, and seems to maintain its fit very well.
Also, the white/black case looks really nice with my white SGS3. :laugh:
I use an Aduro hardshell case with kickstand, it's awesome. I've dropped it plenty of times and not a scratch on it!
Do you use any cleaners on your Defender? I have run into problems with using plastic cleaners (even good ones like Plexus!) with some phone cases where it allows it to become too soft and stretches it.

Me too. I even somehow cracked the shell part and they sent me a new one. I haven't opened it yet.
Stretched out cases are a problem in the materials i think. I've saw it on my Captivate, Inspire, and now S3. But they keep replacing, so I'll keep using. I haven't really saw or heard of a sturdier case, short of the new Armor series.
i've always used case-mate's "tough case" on my galaxy phones. great protection while still remaining slim. also, otterbox has the new reflex case. i would recommend that one as well. slim and tough. you can find both on amazon for around $20. cheers

Commuter in black, Commuter in white, and Spigen Ultra Thin Air...
Otterbox Defender. Since they replace it once it stretches out with no problems I will continue to use it.
My defender silicon case has stretched out before. I simply placed in boiling water (OFF THE BURNER) for exactly thirty seconds. Remove it with tongs and quickly, yet gently dry it off. Mold it to the plastic case and place it in the fridge to cool.
Perform at your own risk. Your experience may vary.
I use the Urban Armor Gear. It is the best case IMO. I had the Otterbox Commuter, and the CaseMate Pop! Nothing beats the Urban Armor Gear. I love how it makes the phone square and flat and not curved. And idk why, but it makes my screen look bigger. It looks huge and bulky in the product photos but it's really thin.
I'm using a Trident Kraken. I love it more than my Defender.

Currently running a black Incipio silicrylic. Yesterday I purchased a black UAG based on the reviews of it and it should be here tomorrow.
I use a Seidio Surface case and love it. It's a hard shell, but not so thick that it can't be used in some docks. Soft-touch coating so it's easy to grip. And it has cutouts around the buttons (I like using the actual buttons on the phone, not the crappy ones that most cases include). The only downside is it's TOUGH to get off if you don't know the trick (apparently, I can't vouch for that since I STILL can't do it easily).

I have the defender as well. I also notice the rubber stretching a little bit. Once it gets a little more noticeable I will ask otterbox to replace it. They have great customer service. I experienced this with the galaxy nexus defender case as well. They sent me 3 replacements before I gave up and settled with the commuter for the nexus.
So long as they continue to send replacements, I'll continue to take advantage of it. Personal opinion they should really make the rubber last longer. My defender for my captivate lasted almost two years before I replaced the phone. The case still fits perfect to this day. Something happened within the last few years with otterboxs rubber casing for the defender. Whatever they have changed since the captivate has not worked out very well.
