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.
Currently not being productive on my S3.

Seidio Surface Case has a tight fit and a sleek design. Check it out

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.

At the price you can't beat it. If it's protection, you need, go with the Acase. Absolute favorite all around case and another great value.

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.

...Not familiar with that one.

So the Zoogue is "free"? I added two different colored cases and it comes out to $.02 cents plus $5.97 shipping.
edit: Ordered a blue and a white case for $5.99. Thanks for name dropping.

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!!!

How many GS3 Cases did you get?

As a top smart phone, GS3 get most well welcome and we also arm her with a protective case for the protection purpose as well as let the mate of our own personality, from the first ROCK quicksand case to HOCO Galaxy S3 genuine leather flip case,and later case-mate case,and now my common PC case,all do good job and we've talked a lot on this,and this also makes it a little bit cost, in fact come to peace and get to know what is a case could bring to us, come to a conclusion that any case could meet our requirement with a simple reason, case is a case, no matter a brand or a non-brand case, it could be a good mate if it do good job....in fact, my favorite case is not otterbox defender,not element case yet a common PC case without brand beyond all the effective case in the market...

Ive went through 3 otter box defenders and they suck! The rubber casing stretches out ridiculously far and looks like ****! Dust, dirt and whatever end up on the inside of the screen protector so its hell looking through a scratched protector with crud all on the inside! You literally have to take it apart everyday and wipe it out! I wish they made a nice looking life proof case!

Damn, that is way too much spent on phone. I have never invested in other phones.

Currently have 4 cases:
1. Speck PixelSkin
2. Otterbox Commuter
3. Otterbox Reflex
4. Simply-Design Samsung Galaxy S3 Rubber Case (Metal-Slim)
Screen Protectors: I have 2 that came with the Otterboxes but currently using I-Shield.

Some case from the T-Mobile store.
Trident Aegis case.
I'm thinking about getting that official samsung flip cover case.
Sent from my bathroom, with toilet paper.

2 Cases.
1) OtterBox Commuter.
2) OtterBox Defender
.................
2 Screen Protectors.
3) Zagg
4) Zagg HD
..................
1) At first I didn't like the Commuter because it was slippery to grip. I've added grip, and a custom built in (flush) kickstand. Now I love it. I've dropped my phone more times than I can remember from various heights and ZERO damage has ensued.
2) I've never used the Defender, it's still BNIB. I took it out of the package and checked it out and personally I thought it was a great case. Great grip and great protection. I like my modded Commuter to much to swap it. The only thing I would do to the Defender is take out the built in screen protector.
3) Works great, had then on all my phones. Only took it off to try out the HD.
4) I've read all the horror stories, but so far I'm loving mine. It's only been about 4 days since I've installed it, but it's super smooth. Smudges do show up more though. My phone is in and out of my pocket all day long, sometimes with other things in it. So far the screen still looks great. I'd like to try the Zagg Extreme in the future to check it out.

Screen Protector Addition
Thanks for posting this! It's really helpful to have everything organized.
To add to the screen protector section, I ordered the IllumiShield screen protectors, they are under $10 with shipping from the official website. I have yet to receive mine, (est. of 8/08), but read through the reviews of the IllumiShield under the Nexus 7 (2013) Acessories forums. They come in packs of three, which is nice in case one get crumpled.

Good post.
Is there any cases that just covers the sides like the iPhone? I want to put the skins type for the front and rear. Unfortunately those don't really give any protection.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for all the information. I was wondering if it would be possible to add some details to each item as people begin receiving their item and testing them. I am in the market for both a case and a wireless charger, if it is possible. It would be nice to know some confirmed instances of cases/wireless chargers working together. Also things like "this screen protector doesn't stay on well" etc. Had some bad experiences with that before. I understand it would be some extra work but it would be a really nice tool for people in the future.
EDIT: Looks like you already plan to do some of that. Thanks!

Here you go. I'm using the Nilkin tpu nature case and it looks and feels like there's no case at all. I haven't dropped it yet but it seems to have enough protection for the screen around the bezels where a casual drop will protect it.

ha that's what's stopping me from getting that case.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/281684615643 looks interesting. no branding either which is nice

It looks good but for a couple of bucks why not get both. I noticed the Nillkin tpu case protect all the input slots. That'll be helpful against dust getting in. I'm not a neat freak but I like added protection.

I have a black one of those coming as well. I also have an Amzer Pudding TPU case, a Nillkin crystal clear case, and another knock-off window case. I have already received a black Sparin case and am using it until some of the others arrive. Since I was unsure what I would like best I just went with the shotgun approach.

What do you like best out of the Amzer and Nillkin? Looking to get one of those. What I really want is for CruzerLite to make some cases...but who knows if that will happen.

I literally just got the Amzer... checked the mail box as I drove to the store for a few things. The Nillkin won't show up for almost two weeks I'm afraid. I may receive the faux window case from China before it gets here.
So far I am liking the Amzer better than the Sparin case. I used a Folsom TPU case on my OGP and so I am used to the look and feel.

I have 2 nilkin cases right now, the thin clear (gold tint) and the snap on red one. I'll post pictures in a bit if anyone's interested. I have 2 more TPU cases on the way I'm still waiting on Noreve's leather case.

It's a little hard to find when you search for "Google Pixel 2". Searches come up for the OG Pixel for like 2 screen protectors. I'm sure there are more from other brands but I only listed from those that are reputable and known within the community.

Hopefully Diztronic releases their slim-fit cases before the Pixels ship. Love the Pixlee case.

Here's a good question. I greatly prefer the hard plastic covers. Thin and protective. However, how will hard plastic covers (such as the oneplus ones) work with the active edge of the Pixel 2 xl?
I've just ordered a Caseology Parallax, but I wonder if that will work with the active edge?

I plan on getting the Parallax as well. From the looks of the case, it has rubber on the sides. So this will help.
I forgot which YouTube video I was watching but they said that the sides wouldn't be a problem with cases because of the way it detects the "squishy" sides. You can also set the pressure. So if you have a case on and it requires you to press harder, you can just make it more sensitive.

I'm not on twitter, but I sure hope diztronic reads this thread. For the Nexus 6P and the Pixel XL their cases were the best that I tried. I will be very disappointed if they don't make one for the new phone.

Dbrand is also going to have their "Grip" case whenever they decide to start selling them
https://dbrand.com/grip

There's also a pretty good list over on the Reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/74hvxl/i_started_a_spreadsheet_for_pixel_2_accessories/

That is the one I am eyeing as an alternative to diztronic myself. Looks like it might not be available till after the phones start shipping.

Thanks to everyone who helped let Diztronic know we wanted this: https://twitter.com/Diztronic/status/917450752443985921
Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL cases confirmed.

Thanks. I went ahead and added a "pixel 2 case diztronic" search on Amazon and a link for now (in the event that I forget). Once they list it, it will hopefully show up.

I ordered mine from Ragetorc a Fusion bumper case for the Pixel 2 XL from Amazon, they also selling on ebay.com. The youtube video has the links there where i saw it https://www.amazon.co.uk/Ragetorc-Protection-Absorption-Technology-Protective/dp/B075RTM9Z5/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1507579555&sr=8-2&keywords=google+pixel+xl+ragetorc

And if no one noticed, I have now put the brands in alphabetical order and if I find any coupon codes, I also included them as well. If you find any that are working or if I have any listed that are not, please let me know. Thanks.

Man the MNML case shipping costs more than the case itself...

I like "thin-fit" case from Spigen, it's very minimalist. But Spigen is kind of boring without many color choices. I used it on my Nexus 6.
Do you know any other minimalist case like that which is not boring?

I ordered the Spigen Rugged Armor Pixel 2 case. I've had it for a few days already, it is not heavy, looks nice and has some grip but not too much.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07471C38C/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I've ordered 5 cases so far. One has arrived, 2 arrive Friday, one arrives a day before the phone ships, and the 5th arrives 1st week of November (Spigen pre-order). The 4 that arrived or are about to were just cheapos for me to play with, $5-$8/pop.
I might also blow ~$50 after tax on the Bellroy Leather Case in black, but it's sold out. I'll try for the next batch if I'm not in love with the Spigen or one of the dark horse candidates.
Once I get the phone, I'll posts pics/video to help others decide.
