Best case cover for the samsung s3

http://www.amazon.com/Technocel-SAL...344947204&sr=1-5&keywords=technocel+galaxy+s3
you will thank me later.
After trying numeral case cover. high end like spg, ringke, indigio etc. i bought this case. Beware, sprint sells this case for $30, buy it from amazon or other retail. The feel is amazing with this case, the volume rocket and lock buttom feels excellent. It has a rock solid build that feels like a hardcover with minimal gel. it feels really tight in the phone, no loose end anywhere. buy it now, thank me later.
edit: forgot to mention that it is pretty slim case, ADD VERY LITTLE BULK. comparing this to my ringke slim case, both add the same bulk but some how the technocel case feels so much better and even thinner.

Or I could thank you now.

I've been using this case for all my Galaxy S Phones and they are awesome. Very light, very thin, and they have a "grippy" feel to them. Only downside is the screen protector that comes with this set is awful.

Anyone have any experience with one of these?

In like TPU cases, but I want a stand.

Worth a shot for the price. Dont see why not mate. Plastic but obvious coz cheap.

I have this in clear! I really like it. It's not the fanciest, but it looks pretty good, and I have a hard time considering a case w/o a kickstand. Just FYI, the black part on the one you posted would be TPU and the "matte' part is a harder plastic. The grips on the side are texturized, but not uncomfortable to hold. The kickstand functions well, but I did shave off some bits leftover from the stamping where it pivots in. I also taped over the inside since the back of the phone would be exposed with the kickstand open -- not really a big deal, I just felt like it. The power button is a little stiff on mine, but I haven't had any other problems with it interfering with buttons, etc.

I have a very similar case for my Nexus 7. Seems like a solid value for a few bucks.

So the white clear part it hard plastic? Hmm.... Might be a deal breaker. I have the Seidio case with kickstand right now... But the soft rubber collects lint like a mofo and it really bothers me. And the Trident Kraken is just too big. I might get a plain TPU case and "engineer" the outside of piece of my case on top of it.

which one would you recommend? any other case that are good?

Really depends on the level of protection you need. I've used just phone skins for looks, to bumpers, to silicone cases, to otterboxes. Depends on what you need and want to look at.

Third one looks great but I prefer case that cover screen too. Just to be safe side. On my first s3 I got hairline crack without even knowing what and where happened.

YOu might check out amazon. I paid like $19 for an otterbox defender which comes with a screen cover built in and has superb protection

I'm with Pennycake on this. It depends on your level of protection. Me personally, I care more for heavy protection, so I got a Trident Kraken case. At $28.99 plus free shipping on Ebay, it was a great buy.

Yes, as others have said it depends on your usage / preference / risk factor. I'm perfectly happy with my Otterbox Commuter other than it being a little slick. If you don't want the bulk of a hybrid (jelly & hard) case, then I'd probably go with a jelly case over the hard case for the shock protection vs. scratch protection with the hard case.
Of those you suggested, I'd pick the third one because its a "hybrid" and does wrap the edge corners which is pretty important pro wise. That, and it just looks cool

I'm using the UAG case right now (the third link). I think it's a pretty nice case, it doesn't add too much bulk like the otterbox and it gives decent protection. I dropped my phone a couple times with the case on and there are no damages on the phone or the case. Pretty good case in my opinion.

Im looking for a thin case with no design or pattern. Just white or black color

I use the ballistic maxx case I think this is the best case out....it's not bulky like the defender case it's slim and also comes with a holster like the otterbox does it has raised edges that when the phone is dropped it flips the phone in a way it's hard to crack the screen and also comes with a screen protector not the film kind amazon has em for around $15

I'm using SGP neo hybrid case and it feels good and looks good also...

Favorite cases?

Looking for a new moto x case. I am looking for decent protection. I currently have a case mate naked case which isn't bad but I wouldnt mind something slightly heavier duty. I was interested in the Griffin reveal. Tell me which cases you like best and post pics if you want
Thanks

I have a Candy Shell Grip case by Speck I bought from Motorola's website when they had the 30% deal. Dual layer protection. I like it a lot better than the Incipio case I had previously. The Candy Shell case is a little harder to get on and off but overall it just feels better. Only issue is depending on the type of head phones it's a little tricky to plug in.

How slippery do you find that case when holding it in the hand though? I've had my eye on that case

I bought two of the bumper cases from Amazon and I am very pleased with them. Another user reviewed them here. Moto X Bumper Case Review.
As indicated in the other gentleman's review the case does an adequate job and protecting the corners and does add enough of a bezel to stop the front and back of the phone from touching the surface. If you are a minimalist like me this was the best option.
Slick Shell Bumper Case for Moto X
For $6.99 it was worth it.

I don't want a bumper. I need more protection than that

The siedo dilex case looks pretty good also. Anyone try that ?
Sent from my XT1058 using Tapatalk

I'm using a Trident Kraken AMS. Like an otter box, but much nicer build quality. Trident makes 5 cases for the moto x with varying degrees of protection/bulk. The kraken also disassembles into a slim slip on case. Check them out, been my favorite case on my last 3 phones.
Tridentcase.com
And their customer service is top notch.

I don't like the huge corners on the Kraken AMS, but i like the Aegis Case

The PureGear Griptek case I reviewed here is my favorite: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2563886

Have the Otterbox Commuter and it is going back. Too hard to put on/take off, and the buttons are horrible. The PureGear looks good, but I recently discovered the Amzer Pudding. Have had great results with them in the past so I have one on the way... will report back when received.

I don't think it's all that slippery. It has a real nice feel to it. Glad I bought it. The case also has the extensions on the buttons like an Otterbox. Besides the A-Case I had for my GS3 and GS4 this is my favorite case.

Still liking the Aegis better

I didn't realize trident made cases for the moto x. I'll have to check them out. I really wish A-Case made some.

Are Trident cases usually pretty good?

How would you compare it to a commuter protection wise ?
Sent from my XT1058 using Tapatalk

I have a commuter case and love it. It is a little hard to take off but I don't need to really ever do that.

I think the Candy Shell offers the same protection. It's all one piece. It's also a little tricky to get on and off.
As for the Trident cases, I've never used one so I couldn't comment on them.

I picked up the Otterbox Commuter case in all black and I like it so far. It seems to offer a good amount of protection without TOO much bulk. It is a little large, however.

Found the Griffen reveal on sale for $10 so I picked it up. Its pretty nice, but I wouldn't mind more protection

I have the supcase in blue and frosted clear back. I love this thing. Doesn't add much bulk and already survived a drop with no damage. It hit the corner and bounced, then landed on it's face.

Trident Aegis Case Review w/pics

I have yet to try a case on my moto x for the first 8 months of having it. I don't like small slim cases because they add some bulk without adding really any protection beyond the cosmetic. I wanted a less bulky "full protection" type case that still had some good looks to it. The trident aegis is perfect! It has a nice looking profile (albeit different than the moto x) and protects the phone fully. It is a bit of a lint magnet because the corners are rubberized but it doesn't actually stick in my pocket too much. Haven't gotten tired of the additional bulk or weight and I don't have to worry about my phone anymore. I did botch the screen protector a little bit as the top is caught on the top lip so a small bubble there, but overall not too hard to apply. For $20 over on amazon it is a steal!!

Thanks for the pics that's not as bulky as I thought. Trident makes good cases, I have the Kraken for outdoor activities.

It is a shame that it does not have the M dimple.

I thought the same, but I actually don't miss it too much. It does have a rubber strip where the trident logo is which actually does much in the way of keeping the phone grounded on a table. I can now swipe text without it swinging about.
Although that may be due to the extra weight!

How does the edge of the case feel against your ear? I had the Otterbox on my D4 for about 3 phone calls before taking it off due to the hard edge of the case.

Hmm can't say it feels especially different, it's not hard plastic resting right against your ear as the layer of rubber is just beneath it

Nice review, not too bulky
Sent from my EVO using XDA Free mobile app

I've had this case for a couple of months and like it a lot. My only issue is it is a bit of a pain to put on/take off, so I use my Incipio Dual Pro more regularly. Not quite as much protection, but close.
Note that I only use a case when I am out and know that it might get knocked about. If you keep a case on it regularly this would obviously not be an issue.

I love the recent kraken ams case, very tough, not like the old plastic version
