Which case to get? TPU, Polycarb, Silicone, Flip, ...

Since the international Galaxy S3 is exactly the same form as the U.S. variants, check out that thread first.
My 2 cents...
TPU:
All of the TPU cases are essentially identical, and provide the best protection VS all others -- except an Otterbox -- should you drop it, and the 2nd-best grip (VS silicone). They range from the official Samsung TPU cases ("overpriced"), down to the $2 EBay S-Line / X-Line's. I went for some middle-of-the-road Cruzerlite cases ($10 each or $20 for 3 on Amazon), and they're great, though not as grippy on the sides as I would've liked.

Hard Polycarb:
The hard polycarbonate plastic cases are also very nice and slightly thinner than TPU, but provide little drop protection. Some provide more top/bottom coverage than others, and some, like this Rock Quicksand case I bought, are actually much grippier than you might expect (it's grippier than my Cruzerlite!):
There are still many other types of cases to consider (listed in order of their level of drop protection):
Full body armor -- bulky; otterbox
TPU
Silicone / Gel / Jelly -- these are the grippiest cases you can get, but that also means they attract lint like the plague, are harder to take out of your pocket, and so flexible that they have a tendency to slip off the phone. I still have one of these $0.99 cases on my Captivate, and it's OK, but not ideal.
Bumpers -- protection around the edges of the phone only; often paired with body skins for scratch protection.
Polycarb
Leather pouches -- for "executive" style; slow to access
Flip -- usually seen on tablets; a little awkward to hold when the flaps around back; a big plus is that it replaces the original back cover of the phone, so the original will never get scratched; very little drop protection
Gelaskin / fullbody skins -- scratch protection, but zero drop protection; they're basically just stickers.
Metal battery cover replacements -- these are known to interfere with NFC, and GPS; steer clear
Other...
Soft TPU / hard polycarb are still the most common.
(my ideal case would fuse TPU or polycarb with grippy silicone on the edges, but AFAIK nobody makes this)

I have a flip on order. IMHO the display is the weakest link and the photos posted from EU with totally busted screens annoys me. I'm hoping that the flip's cover will help protect the display somewhat.
The problem is the design, there's hardly any bevel to keep the glass from hitting something and while it's stiffened glass it's not unbreakable. I'm going to gamble on insurance for a couple months even though the replacement cost with insurance is $200 plus processing ($50?).

In terms of protection that a great choice, however, it usually removes any styling from the phone. Since Samsung is making the flip case it won't box up the style or feel of the phone (and I have a desk charger on order too which it will still work with). There was a video on some UK retailer site...

I'm liking the looks of this plus the price.
How is the Otterbox Commuter series in general? I'm looking for a quality case, but nothing bulky. I had a Defender for my iPhone, but it ended up being too bulky so I never put it back on.

People complain that the stand on most kickstand-cases is often flimsy or slippy, so I wouldn't cheap out here if you really intend to use the kickstand a lot vs a dock or desk stand.
If I hadn't ordered a universal ThoughtOut stand I'd have opted either for the official samsung vent case (where you put a coin in the back to act as the stand):
Or, this "SD smart stand" case, which is also getting high praise (the stand flips in and out like a wristband), though is a bit harder to find:

Tight fitting case for the S3?

So far i have tried case mate barely there, nice but little protection and the edges wear very quickly and SGP modello which is nice, but would be perfect if it were a tighter fit.
I wanted to try the neo hybrid but from what ive read the fit isnt any tighter than the modello.
Is there a case in the modello, neo style that is a proper tight fit?

I'm not sure what you mean by a "tight fitting case" beyond one that fits securely. With that as the criterion, I can recommend two cases:
Less protective, and currently significantly less expensive (because only shipping is being charged), is the ZooGue, which is available for the cost of shipping. I paid just under $6.00 for two cases shipped within the United States. The cases are well-made and at least as protective as the basic black cases my wife and I bought for our Vibrants back in July of 2010.
More protective is the two-piece DBA Ultra Complete, which I received last night from Amazon.The fit and finish are excellent. The inner layer is TPU. The outer layer is a flexible polycarbonate.

Don't ever Buy the case-mate Barely there. It's horrible quality. I've heard the SGP Neo Hybrid is good

I second the ZooGoo. It's pretty slim and one of the tightest cases I've used. The UAG and Casemate Pop are both tight but not as slim as what it sounds like you are looking for. I too have the Modello and loved it until I got the ZooGoo. I just wish I got Black and not Red.

The OP appears to be concerned about protection as well as a "tight fit." The more protection is an issue, the more I think I'd recommend the DBA Ultra Complete. But until last night, I was using a black ZooGue. It looks great with my PB SG III.

The Cruzerlite cases are awesome. Definitely tight fitting as requires some lining up to fit properly...can't just slap it on!
Buttons easily accessible, grease doesn't tend to build up like it does on my SGP screen protector either.

For protection, now having an Ultra Complete and reading the Acase description, I'd go with the Ultra Complete for protection. The Ultra Complete has hflexible, high-quality polycarbonate and TPU versus PCM and silicone.

So the Zoogue is "free"? I added two different colored cases and it comes out to $.02 cents plus $5.97 shipping.

yes its free, i just got mine yesterday. thought it was 2 weeks before it arrives, but hey, it took only around 1 week(i guess). what i ordered was red, which i thought ill be giving it to my wife as i plan to buy her a red S3; but i instead bought galaxy note 10.1!! lol... now i have this as my spare case (together with CM phantom, otterbox commuter and metal slim(white) ) hahaha

DBA Cases is a new company that makes the Just Like Glass screen protectors and Thin Grip and Complete Ultra. There are threads discussing the Thin Grip here, the Complete Ultra here, and the current production screen protector here. (I have no business connection with the company. I came across it in my search, as a new Galaxy S III owner, for a case and screen protector. The CEO has been an active participant in the discussion of his products. In response to complaints about the coverage of his screen protector, he had made and sent to seven testers, a larger trial model. I'm one of the lucky testers. Mine came yesterday. My initial impressions of the larger screen protector, which I'll expand on over time, are in DBA Cases supersized me.)

Get the Slim Case directly made by Samsung!!!

What case should I buy? (Otterbox Commuter, UAG Case, SGP Neo Hybrid)

Hello guys, so I recently bought a AT&T i747 SGS3 and knowing how picky I am with my electronics I started to look right away for a case.
The case must not add bulk, must offer great protection against scratches as well as the case not scratching the phone in any way, must offer camera protection and must have at least a small lip on the front.
So far I have come across these 3 which are:
Otterbox Commuter
SGP Neo Hybrid
Urban Armor Gear Case for the SGS3
As far as the otterbox commuter, I had it on my atrix 4g and loved the protection it offered but a few months later it just gets old, attracts lint on the borders and overall takes the beauty and slickness of the phone but I must mention protection was great and that is the most important feature for me.

The SGP Neo looks very promising offering a good quality screen protector and overall a great case all around but what has me worried is the direct contact of the TPU with the phone, specially the camera area and bezel as opposed to the otterbox which has a rubber sleeve, I had a blackberry about a year ago and the phone scratched badly on the bezel from dust getting under speck TPU case and acting as sand paper.
The Urban Armor Case seems like a very well rounded case, offering some type of rubber/soft TPU inner lining on the inside and a very tough poly-carbonate shield on the outside. What I like is that both pieces are bonded together offering a seamless design but what worries me a little is the X pattern on the inside which seems to be part of the outer hard layer which goes all the way to the top of the camera/flash/mic opening which could potentially scratch those components down the line.
Which case would you recommend and why?
Other case recommendations are welcome.

I wouldn't recommend the SGP Neo Hybrid due to the issues regarding sensitive buttons which many/most people are experiencing.
To make things harder for you, I'd also recommend looking at either the Incipio Silicrylic or the Acase Superleggera.
Edit: I also hope you realize you're in the wrong device forum (but accessories are all the same so doesn't matter)

Otterbox no longer attracts lint.
Otterbox is the biggest and has the most sturdy feel to it.
UAG feels really good in the hand. Less slippery than otterbox.
SGP still has button issues. It is super thin but feels as sturdy as a gel case.

The speck case is nice.

I have the UAG & Neo Hybrid, both are going back.
UAG isn't bad at all, but I'm not a fan of the stiff buttons...that being said, the Neo Hybrid buttons are atrocious. I can't believe they even released this case with all the issues I've been having.
Will probably try the commuter case next, as people seem to be having less issues with the power button.

Hey guys,
I have all three cases. Hands down the feel and the buttons go to UAG. what r u guys talking about the UAG buttons feel crappy?'honestly they feel better then any case I have ever tried for the gs3. The protection , otterbox wins this by a hair. Look goes to sgp but its very thin, buttons feel like crap and you can't buy the plastic bands seperate.. plus customer support is crappy. I love sgp ultra clear screen protectors though..
I'm just giving my honest opinion and in very anal on cases.. the gf gives me verbal treatment for buying all these cases

Thank you guys for your sincere opinions, so far I am leaning towards the UAG in white. I never drop my phones or anything and they are always over some layer of rubber or cloth when out of my pocket but I know accidents happened and that is why I need a case to at least cover it from getting scratched or dinged.

I own, use, and recommend the DBA Cases Complete Ultra. It is both thin and protective. The inner piece is made of TPU, no scratching your phone. The outer piece is a flexible polycarbonate. The fit and finish are first-rate. Both sides of the phone are protected when resting on a flat surface.

i have this case and the otter box (defender and commuter)
i like the defender because it has a protective screen the protects the entire front screen... the bad, obviously the size.
I like the commuter because it doesn't bulk up the phone that much, a bit slipper though at the back.
the original front flip case looks the best... but offers the least protection

Get the Commuter case! It's add a little bit bulky but the protection was MAX! I did few drop test in front of my friends to show off. It's drop from about 1.2 meter height and the case and phone survive it. I would recommend UAG case due to special design..^^
Commuter = Max protection + Keep the round shape of the phone
UAG = Less protection than Commuter + Makes your phone a bit square + nice design & less slippery.
Final decision still yours. Both case almost at the same price(UAG at Amazon.com, now only 21.99!!). Grab one of this and you will not regret for it. If not, grab both cases..xD

I'm waiting for mine to get here, just ordered one myself. As for drop protection, I would assume it offers as much protection as the spg or uag cases, if not more. There's a DBA thread where there is a picture of the outer plastic part of the case being bent almost in half and it still doesn't break so it's got to be pretty tough. The otterbox is pretty much max protection as far as drops go but it is also bulkier than any of the others mentioned.

Diztronic Matte Black TPU case Review and Picture

So I just got he Diztronic Case for my new Nexus 5 today and here's my thoughts on it. I've been a Diztronic case user for sometime now; had it on previous devices such as my S3. One thing I love about Diztronic is that they are more substance than flash when it comes to their cases.
Packaging:
One thing you will notice when you get the packaging is that, well there isn't much to say as its in a plastic wrap, with a cardboard cutout placeholder for your phone. They spent the money were it needs to go; on the case itself.

Build Quality/Design
As expected from Diztronic, the case is a built top notch using a soft but firm flexible TPU material. It has a two tone appearance where the edge/frame is a shiny glossy black (along with the Diztronic logo on the back) where the rest of the case is a soft grippy matte black on the back and sides. A thing to point out is the nice feel the matte finish has. It almost feels like the Nexus 5 back without a case. It just feels good. One thing I like is that Diztronic did not plaster their name all over the case like some case manufacturers do. Just one simply logo at the back near the bottom.
The cutouts are all in the perfect location and aligned right. The cutouts for all ports/mics/speakers are spot on. One thing I would like to point out is the cutout for the headphone jack. It's bigger than other cases I've seen and I like that. It allows for headphone plugs off varying sizes to be used with our phone. Many times a plug will be too big to be used with certain cases and the phone would have to removed from the case to use said plug. The cutout is a large nice square cutout. So thumbs up to Diztronic for that. Also, the microusb port cutout is large also, allowing for oem and aftermarket micro usb plugs to be used. Which is really like as I have plugs and charges of all sorts of sizes around the house, bag and car.
One thing that did differ from the S3 Diztronic case is that there is no cutouts for the buttons; volume and power. I'm sure a lot of us went the super cheap route before and got a tpu case off of ebay with no cutouts and it was just plain misery trying to press the buttons. That was one of the big pluses for me on the S3 case and was doubtful and wary about no cutouts on the Nexus 5 case. Yet, Diztronic has pulled through and made pressing the buttons easy and nice even without the cutouts. The fake buttons on the case to mimic the buttons on the phone are very nicely designed and implemented. They actually look and feel like real buttons and not just some bump on the case like the cheaper tpu cases.
Another thing I liked is that the edges are raised to protect the phone if you place it face down on the table. So no scratching the screen when doing so.
Also, unlike the slim cases from Spigen and Ringke (other cases I considered) is that it has decent protection all the way around the phone. The slim cases protect the sides but not so much the top and bottom. Sure its a little bulkier and thicker but my mind is a little more at ease with the added protection.

Got the same case on my N5 as well. Had one on my EVO 4G LTE as well. Decent case all around. Nice review.

Thanks I appreciate it!
Yeah one of the better cases I've used on any device. Great customer support too, anytime I had an issue they always were quick and courteous.

Thanks for the review. My phone slipped out of my hand today and I was able to catch it with my foot before it fell the rest of the approx. 6 inches to a tile floor. The back cover popped open a little bit, but it was otherwise unscathed. I took that as my first and only warning from the phone Gods to put a case on it so I just bought one of these based on your review.

yeah I always recommend a case. I don't like otter boxes or tank sized cases but I do like a medium between super slim and otterbox. I'm sure you'll like the case!

How much of the screen does the edge/lip of the case cover? Any use this with a screen protector?

Covers very little of the screen. I am using with with the spigen ultra crystal with no problems. I think it's a much more functional case than the official bumper.

The skinomi screen protector I got has 1mm margin to the edge of the screen so any case lip that covers more than 1mm will start to push on the protector.
Would you say the it covers 1mm or less of the screen?

I'm curious as well about the case pushing against the screen protector. I would like to know if the case causes the screen protector to lift away from the screen. This is a problem I have with the spigen.

Looks like you lucked out and got the second revision, seems like a lottery at Amazon right now but good to see they started shipping them. Nice big photos and thanks for taking the time. I personally decided to pass on Diz this time due to the QC issues and covered up buttons.
FYI there's a thread a few pages long dedicated to the progression of this case including other pics and reviews: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2490294 :good:

After using a spigen neo hybrid for a few days I've gone back to the diztronic, fits like a glove. And almost feels like there's no case.

Is it hard to take off? I've read that some people actually damaged the exterior back and edges by taking off their cases...

No its not hard to take off... I don't go side to side... I go from bottom to top. So insert the bottom of the phone first then the top. Yeah i was worried about the revisions but Diztronic emailed me that all new cases should be the revised version

Sucks that from Italy apparently there is no way to get my hands on one since no euro amazon sells it and they directly also dont mail it to Italy or other european countries....

**Link is to the case page, color must be selected
Cases can generally be separated into several categories, Rugged, Tough, Slim/Basic, Hybrid, TPU/GEL, Folio/Flip/Wallet and Other (Dry bags, Armband, Battery, Sleeves, Holsters, Skins).
Extra Info:
For this case list all links will adhere to the following:
YES
Amazon(official page)
Manufacturer's store/shop page
Aliexpress(official storefronts only)
Crowdfunding sites(must be completed and buyable)
NO
Speculative or Concept
Crowdfunding sites(to be funded)
^^Osophter seems to be a reseller of sorts, but has better listings than other so will be included for now^^
After some time finding official listings for cases can become harder, when that time comes links might not adhere to the guidelines.
More cases will be added as they are released and reviewed.
The XDA mobile app seems to display this guide terribly, I recommend to open in a full web broswer even on mobile.
This guide is posted for the community on XDA, to help members find OnePlus 7 Pro cases.

This post is reserved for informal or passing information about the case guide.
The irony of Spigen Tough Armor being in the Rugged list, and Spigen Rugged Armor being in the Tough list is not lost on me... :good:

Thanks for compiling this. Are there any slim cases with a bit of a lip around the screen? I have the official nylon case, but it has absolutely no lip, so much so, that I'm afraid of putting the phone upside down on the table.

The KuGi TPU Case has a 1.2 mm raised edge. I flagged the case as having clear fake reviews but that doesn't make it a bad case.
The Olixar Leather Back Case and Olixar NovaShield also mentioned a raised bezel to protect the screen. Though the NovaShield might not be "slim" really.

Thanks. I was looking more at the more known brands.
Was looking at either the spigen rugged armor or the nillkin nylon case. But don't know for sure about the lip.

Hmm, spigen does say something about a lip on their site.

The Spigen has top and bottom raised edges, hopefully with OnePlus having phones in t-mobile stores we see more name brand cases released.

Cool! Bought the spigen for now. Now to hunt for a good screen protector, or are you going to do a thread for those too? [emoji39]

For now, it will just be cases, once we get more reviews and testing on tempered glass protectors a list might be made.

I bought 4 cases and this is the one I like the most, as for as ruggedness goes:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RFSRQXX
Only problem is the charge port plug doesn't stay in all the way. After charging a few times it only closes 3/4 the way and stays bent out a little.

Can someone help me with the difference between a poetic revolution case and a guardian case? Other than the back of the case it seems the same. Does offer something different than the other one? I'm leaning towards the guardian just because I don't want to hide the back of my phone.

For the cheap price and fast shipping, it looked fine as a tempary case tell we see more offerings. Bought a set of magnetic DASH charging cables for my OP3 so I ended up cutting off the port cover and putting the adapter in, lost WARP charge but I can live with that for now.

The Revolution has a full built-in curved screen protector that adds a layer of protection without affecting screen responsiveness. Also, the corners look a bit more rugged but barely, the back has a stand built in as well.

anyone have any experience with dbrand grip case?
looks good.

Grip is a *really* bulky case. So don't buy it if you don't like bulky cases.

from pictures it seems less bulky then the UAGG cases.

Awesome guide.
There are two RhinoShield SolidSuit listed under hybrid ones

The picture and a review said it doesn't have a cutout for the bottom right speaker, is this true?

Just wanted to say awesome guide. Very informative and clear

Nice catch, when I was copying over links from a Google doc must have hit that one twice.

It "technically" does have a cutout but honestly, it is poorly done at best.
