I received the Clear TPU case from eBay today. I had the same one on my Vibrant. It fits great, but there are no cutouts for volume rocker or power button. Got it for $10 USD shipped.

Have the same thing but took it out at once because it was so hard to access the power button and volume rocker! IMO, the best case right now is the one from body glove sold @ tmobile! Has a more pronounced rubber volume and power buttons!

Hey Thanks for the pics.
How is the feeling of the phone with the case on compared to it off in terms of size and feel in hand?
The power and volume buttons are harder to press but the pros of protection override the inconvenience.
In terms of size, it does add a bit of bulk bit not enough to bother me. You can still pocket it and it looks great. I can hold it more securely as well, I dont feel like i will drop this sucker now. Over all for ten bucks its worth it. Highly recommend.

Thanx for posting, I had a similar Aquaflex for my sensation.........Can't go wrong with these, and I dig the fact that the power buttons and vol rocker are covered.
Thanks for the pics! I just ordered this case yesterday and it's nice to see how it fits and looks before receiving it. I had a similar case for my HTC G2 (Desire Z) and I cut parallel slits next to the power button with my Xacto knife to make it easier to push. Works great!

I did the same thing with my HD7 a while back (cut parallel slits for both power and volume rocker).

I just ordered this one with expedited shipping for under $15. You have to select 'wireless central' as the seller on amazon to get the option for expedited shipping.
Thanks for the feedback on this guys. I've been eyeing this case since Wednesday when I got this beast. I keep seeing visions of SGS2 + concrete in my head......

I just received the exact came case in the mail yesterday. Good case, but a little tough to press the volume and power buttons. It also is a bit slick, the phone has fallen out of my pocket when sitting a few times already.
That's one of the beauties about our phone in that it being so thin, a case will even it out perfectly.
Unlike other phones like the MT4GS that was thick already, when I put a case on it it was a brick. Not the case here with ours...
Very fortunate.

im waiting for the d30 case seems like bad-ass case im using a cheap ebay case for now
I just put on a T-mo brand screen protector and the case makes the edges of the protector come up...blows. On another note, the protectors from the T-mo store go on VERY well. I have zero bubbles or debris under the plastic.

Yeah, I have the same problem too. Can't seem to get right top edge to lay down without moving the top corner of the D30 case up. Oh well, this is just a temporary one till I get a Zagg or something comparable.

Yeah I'm pretty partial to Zagg, had one on my Evo as well as Sensation and never ever hand a issue with them. I'll be ordering a Zagg shortly and I'll report back once I have it on. I'll probably end up switching cases though too as I don't like how hard it is to press both the power and volume buttons with the D30 case. Otherwise it's really a great case, I just think once all the other players start getting their cases out, they'll be a better buy.

Hey guys,
So i got this case and was playing with it for a couple weeks...I love the material..its strong its solid and its still flexible..HOWEVER the buttons are killing me
the screen on n off is horrible..kinda like the d3o...very sad to see a kick ass case done with such a crappy and silly mistake
Im going to cut it like i did my d3o and see if that helps
enjoy
http://youtu.be/Ivm4YPxElfo
Update.. so I cut the buttons a little bit and it made a huge difference .sucks that I had to mod the case in order to be perfect ..but it did the trick

I've got this case too and also have the D3O for my GS2. This one isn't nearly as bad as the D3O as far as button pressing goes. I've had no problems pressing them since day one, while my D3O took weeks to break in.

Same here, the D30's buttons were worse.
The texture and the feeling on hand is very similar to the D30 which I missed but over all, I love this case.
Imho, this case is much better than the Diztronic TPU.
Spot on review Raul.
I bought this case a few weeks back, really like it, but the power button is really killing me
Did you cut out the plastic completely from the power button on the case? I was curious before I get the exacto knife out and start hacking away, if removing the plastic from the case that goes over the power button would make it easily accessible or not?

Don’t cut off the buttons completely. Just use the razor to cut along the sides of the buttons to release some of the material.

Thank you pacer! The botton was getting so mad it was killing all the awesomeness of the case. I did not cut the whole button all the way.I kinda made indentations to remove pressure and to kinda get it to be pressed. If you just take the phone out press the button and kinda make it look inside out you can start hacking away..Just do it slowly and test it every little move you make until u get the perfect feeling

Diztronic cases are available and will ship soon, have had these for both my S2 and One S and are awesome cases. Tight fit and Extremely thin.

Awesome! Thanks for letting us know. I also had this on my S2 and got it for my brother's One S last month. Was waiting for these.
I'm Also a big fan of cruzerlite but really wanted a matte finish for the phone. Hard to find a good match for the pebble blue. I ordered the Matte Clear and Matte Black. Will take pics when I get them.

you guys convinced me to try these... just ordered a matte clear one off Amazon. On my G2X i just tried a hard plastic one and hated it so it's been naked for the last 11 months.
Also have a silicone/rubber shipping in to compare the two. Thanks for the tip

I had a d30 on my gs2 which I really loved. I wish they had that for the gs3. I guess I'll get the diztronic as a stop gap measure.
I also used Diztronic on my SGS2. I was very happy with the case and with their customer service. I'm about to order one for my SGS3
Is this a soft case or a hard case?

They are TPU type cases which I believe would be considered a soft case.

I received mine today I had a diztronic you on my vibrant,sensation,sgs2 and gnex.I love them the only thing I don't like about this one is it doesn't seem very snug on the sides and the lip on the bottom kinda gets in the way of pressing the home button.Honestly the home button is the only gripe I have with the sgs3 design.I don't know why they chose to make it a physical button you have to press down as opposed to a touch capacitive on like the back and menu I feel like everytime press down I'm closer to breaking the home button.

I feels ya. I've never liked the idea of a physical home button on any of these phones.. it just looks ugly and out of place.. The GS3's isn't that bad, but still, why not have just made it a capacitive home button to match the menu & back button? Oh well.
I ordered a full body clear shield by photoskinz.
How does the shield affect the fitting Diztronic case ?
I ordered a Zagg full body InvisibleSHIELD and ended up taking off the back plate protector, one because I jacked the installation up and two, the fit was kinda tight, but again that was probably because of my crappy install. The front is fine so far.

I am looking for a new case and am trying to find a tpu case that also covers the volume rocker and power button. Its a pet peeve of mine i hate those being exposed on cases but haven't found any on ebay or amazon. I have an otterbox case now but wanna go thinner. Thanks in advance.

Try the Cruzerlite cases. They cover the volume rocker and power button.
try the new casemate pop with the right cut outs adds a little bulk but less then the otterbox but gives great protection
I've seen many cheap and nasty one that covers all the buttons.
Try ebay.

This confused me as well and after searching and realizing they don't exist I still went with cruiser lite. Should be in soon seems solid I hope the exposure doesn't bug me too much.
I have a cruzer lite case that I got with the bag o' cases and one of them covers everything. But I think is only for the gsm GNex it barely won't fit my vzw GNex.

I bought an sgp ultra capsule and it covers everything I'm in the same boat as you I wanted tpu but hate uncovered buttons. Its a good case uber thin and the buttons feel great.

Revision 2 of the Diztronic TPU cases didn't have a volume cut out. They've been selling Rev 3 for a while now but if you emailed them asking to buy a Rev 2 case they would probably sell you one (or maybe even send you one for free). They had great customer service when I had to contact them.
I just bought the SGP Ultra Capsule case. It's TPU and it covers volume and power buttons but it also covers the 3 pin dock connector if that's a problem with you. It's very good quality and shows the contour and shape of the actual phone.

I recommend Nillkin TPU cases. It covers all the buttons and they're really high quality. $10-$12 on eBay.

I never understood why they preffer to leave the 3 pin dock connector uncovered. I don't even know what that's for... I never saw a dock for it, lol.

@OP
I have a TPU case that covers the volume rocker and the power button. It has cut outs for the 3 pin dock connector, the microUSB port, the primary AND secondary microphone, and 3.5mm jack. It's mostly known as S-LINE, but lately I found it as being made by CUBZ (or at least so it was advertised). It has kind of an S line on the back. The side edges are also rubbery which makes it feel good in the hand, and less prone to accidental drops.
I had this kind of case on my previous HTC EVO 3D, and it was awesome. It fitted better than the MOMAX (because the MOMAX one didn't have a cut out for the camera button, hence making that pretty much useless, + weakened the right side).
I also had this model on my Galaxy S2, and given the construction and shape of that phone, it was freaking awesome! Barely could take it off!!!!!
I had a black one on my Galaxy Nexus, but it was... I dunno if Google translated this right... sprawling? Mostly due to the way it was stored - the sides were somewhat off...
I have a white one now, which is pretty much rigid. In one month, it got off-white, haha. Yellows, grays, blues... it's still white, but not really white, if you know what I mean.
Anyway, I'm gonna buy a new one, BLACK, and try to find one that hasn't been stored under a rock or something .
These S-Line cases seem to be the best, if you ask me. And for that price... I mean... you can't ask for more, really. I even saw them on eBay (for other phones, not necessarily this model), for some pretty darn good prices.
-----
Otherwise, if you have money to spend, buy a Otterbox Commuter. That's the best case ever, if you ask me. It's not THAT hefty, but it's very well built, and rigid, too.
Hey Guys,new Nexus 5 owner here.
I’m checking out new cases and I’m wondering what you guys would recommend.Since i want to buy a bunch of colors was thinking to go cheapest way posible,under 5$ range.I know its not cool to ask things leech style ,but i think you guys might have try a lot of this cases and could recommend.
I have tried 2,spigen ultra hybrid(to sttify,retired) and a gel one that feels great.
As the title states,i realy don't like the s-line models,so please spare those links.
I'm in Spain btw so amz.com is kind of difficult to get.
Thank you and god bless.

Same here, I ended up getting a Spigen Slim armor afterwards. The case looks beautiful and works well, but the buttons are impossible to push unless you really press hard on them.
I've got the Orzly tpu case which flush covers the buttons but they are really easy to push and it's a great fit too.
I have this in black. very nice esp for the price. http://www.ebay.ca/itm/271315398320
Got that same eBay case in frosted clear which is close to being clear for the back. Looks great with a white Nexus 5. I actually prefer the harder to press buttons. Had to ditch the Ultra Hybrid since the buttons are so big and easily pressed, I'm always changing the volume on accident.
