SGP Ultra Silke is the best Silicon type case. Great texture, shock protection, and durability.

I bought the rubber jacket for my Vibrant from t-mobile. It's definately NOT the same material that most of there skins are made from. It's textured and does not get stuck in your pocket and get covered with lint like the smooth gel skin that is their norm.
I've dropped my phone (with no screen protector) a few times on various surfaces and the skin does it's job.
It's the same as this one, but in black (the blue shows off the texture):

the problem i have with the Hybrid Flexi Tpu skin is that they don't ship it worldwide... and i'm from argentina

Where are you buying those from? I have tried a few different types but am just not happy with them, either badly made or just plain don't care for them. Thanks!

3rd+4th row.

i bought a tpu case from ebay and its by far the best case i had. it keeps the phone nice and slim while holding the phone tight in place. the material is a little tougher than the silicone and imo feels better. as for screen protector i've gone from zagg invisible shield to cheap ones online to the ones at the retail stores and none of them are as good as realook. realook is so easy to put on and is basically air bubble proof(for me at least). it has a glass feel as if u hadnt put one on unlike the invisible shield, after awhile the invisible shield gets super rubbery and feels like crap. thats my 2¢

I have a case that I bought from daydeal.com, its a hybrid case made from hard plastic on the back and soft tpu on the sides, it pretty good.

thx for this info! found some awesome cases with what ive learned!

Looking for a Case recommendation

I know there are a lot of threads already about cases for my Samsung G II (Epic 4G Touch)
Heres the thing. I don't want a huge case. Why get a sleek thin phone just to put a bulky case on it?
What are some suggestions for a minimalist case that is better than just putting a sticker on it?

There are a few choices that I have found...
Hard Snap on Case - very thin but doesn't protect from drops very well
soft thin case very thin but I would imagine it would be hard to get in and out of a pocket from it "sticking" to your pants.
Trident Aegis case not as thin as the others, but definitely not bulky. Very good protection, no kickstand however.
Casemate Pop White case with kickstand pretty much like the aegis with a kickstand. I have one but I am not impressed with the build quality of the silicone. It flakes off in places due to the friction of pulling it out of a pocket.
For the "sticker" route the best I've found is:
Full Body Invisible Shield This will protect from scratches but not drops, etc.

Got one of these a few months ago and couldn't be happier.

Incipio feather light has treated me well. Very sleek and light.

This is the case i have had since the phone came out. Love the case! Sleek, slim and protects your phone. There is a whole thread about this case. Price is great too. I highly recommend it!!
Hope that helped. Happy Hunting.

I would personally have to say the Trident Ageis, very close to the otterbox line but available in more colors...plus they are a tad cheaper as well...

doesn't really get more minimal than this. I have one on all 3 of my phones. comes in different colors.

I disagree. The matte version of Diztronic's (formerly TPU Cases) case does not stick at all. There is just enough of a texture to feel like you have a solid grip, but smooth enough that it never sticks in your pocket.
I have the same requirements in a case as the OP, and I think a TPU case is a great idea. It has protected my phone from a handful of short falls onto a variety of surfaces without an issue.
I purchased the case after reading this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1266308
I believe the overwhelming majority of reviews are positive for the case. Check out the Diztronic's page here: http://tpu-cases.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=36&products_id=147
I am curious about the Nillkin case, but considering they seem to be only available when ordering from China, and that in the past, I've had snap-on cases scratch phones, I am worried. Here is a review of a Nillkin case: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1485054

Buy a few different ones and figure out what you like best. I tried a few different styles of tpu/rubber case and ended up with a trident aegis. My phones in the past all had minimal rubber case or none but it just feels right on this phone.

Walnut S2 Lite case

Anyone ordered this case sold by Walnut on Gmarket:
H T T P://english.gmarket.co.kr/challenge/neo_goods/goods.asp?goodscode=217473693
A slim case is what I want, currently using casemate barely there but I don't like the glossiness of the plastic as it attracts fingerprints more than the screen!
I also have the original Samsung mesh case but it has snapped in two of the corners and gets caught on fabric when in pocket etc.
Costs including shipping to UK is ￦ 41000 which works out about £23 - slightly expensive..

hi, i dont recommend you to get that since the bottom of the phone is not protected. thin it may be and it also has a nice textured surface at the back but if protections not good. nahh..

I wouldn't advise a barely there case either they are **** both me and my missis have always had them on a previous phones and found them to be great but for the S2 they are rubbish, both mine and my missis cases have failed in the same way where the volume rocker is, most cases have a cut out but the BT case has a thin piece of plastic round the top which just snaps off. There really was no need for case mate to do it like that as all other cases have a u shaped cutout but this has a stupid bit off weak plastic.

Thanks for the replies guys, might stay away from this one but I can't think of any other good slim cases other than buying another mesh case :-\

Try the Venom Armour Shell case. I have the black one and while protection doesn't match bumper style cases it does offer decent protection and looks/feels great.

Otterbox Commuter vs. Spigen SPG Neo Hybrid Lumi...?

Hi there fellows,
After reading a lot about S3's broken screens, I have decided to buy a case for my S3. I am confused between Otterbox commuter and SGP neo hybrid lumi.
I want the case to be shock absorbent and protect my phone from accidental drops as much as possible. I am ok with aesthetics of both (neo does look better though). I have seen pix of commuter and got the feeling that its boundary is too thick at the top and bottom to attend a call or press the home button properly. Is that so?
While SGP's boundary doesn't seem that thick, it doesn't seem to offer the solid protection of commuter overall.
So kindly guide me that does SGP offer same level of protection as offered by Commuter or not?
Thanks.

They are two different types of cases. The Commuter has a hard shell and is bulkier. The Spigen is very thin. Not paper thin, but it's minimal. A lot of people prefer that.
I hate how the Commuter covers all the ports. I prefer the Neo Hybrid by far.

It depends what you're looking for. If you want great protection, the commuter. If you want style with minimal protection then the neo hybrid. I've owned both n I liked them both

Check out the Ballistic SG and Ballistic LS ,The SG has great protection, but i really like the looks of the new LS, it is made to be slim with corner protection, but I just haven't seen any reviews yet for it on the S3.

THe Sg looks pretty good
theres a ton of copy cases on ebay too, but i dunno how those are.
Body Glove Dropsuit looks pretty good too http://www.amazon.com/Body-Glove-Rugged-Samsung-9284901/dp/B008J2V3KW/ref=pd_cp_cps_0
Im also thinking about buying a new case with a little more protection. I just got a cheap silicone case and feel that won't be enough.. My screen already cracked in the bottom corner from sliding out my pocket the 2nd day I had it (when i already had that cheap case on order).

ok thanks guys. Looks like commuter is better for protection.
One more thing. How does the screen protector that comes with commuter perform against sgp ultra nano clear/optics?

The Ultra Nano in my experience is better than the otter box one but the otter box screen protector isn't so bad

I've got the Trident Ageis (black) case for my S3. IMHO Trident makes a case equal in quality and function to Otterbox but for nearly half the price. I grabbed mine off the big book site for $17. I especially like how the silicone sticks out a bit on the back so it doesn't slide off of smooth surfaces as easy.

Any suggestions on a minimalistic case?

I have a Zagg invisible shield and I'm looking for a case that won't make the edges peel up. I'm not looking for too much protection just some extra grip.

Zoogue has some good ones. Just solid color tpu cases. The grey looks really good on many white S3. Best of all they are only $3 or $4.

New original samsung protective cover. I bought yesterday and it perfectly fits my realook whole screen SP. I'll post picture later. Plus this is extra slim and solid. Feels like without the case.

I have a Ringke Galaxy S3 SLIM Lite and it is nice. Don't use it as my daily case but is a nice thin case.

any pics? whats your mini review pro & cons of this one.. i just ordered it yesterday and want to know what i got myself into lol, im sure the OP wouldnt mind.

Diztronix is excellent fit, slim and covers all the sides. Most of the thin ones leave top and bottom uncovered. I have matte black one on black phone, and it looks like no case at all from front. (Front is shiny.)

Can also get them on Amazon and other places too.

I have this case, use is as my daily. SUUUUPER thin, would like a little more bump out for screen protection (it does have some, just not a lot). Have no complaints at all.
heres a review of it online
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EyQx6kWF7bA

I've used this Black Nillkin from day one.
- very low profile, Business/Executive look to it especially on my Blue S3
- really really nice premium hard rigid rubber feel (rigid like plastic but TPU feel)
- snaps on and off easily
- very tight and perfect fit especially nice rear cutouts
- cross hatch backside shows no finger prints or grease
- S3 is easier to hold but slips in and out of pocket easily as well
- top side lips are lo pro and hug nicely
- under $10 on ebay...search Nillkin S3
For what this case is supposed to do, I give it 10 out of 10.
It will never provide maximum protection and is not meant to do this.
