I don't feel it does. I bought the Case-Mate POP! case and currently I have 4/5 bars so by all means get a case for your shiny/expensive toy=)

[Q] otterbox commuter

Now I know jivy has posted his opinion about this a few weeks back but has anyone else ordered the at&t version that has come out? What's your opinion? Compared to the pop case?

I have one and am quite happy with it. I did cut off the flaps covering the USB and headphone jacks as they drove me nuts.
just got mine, they have a new version with the flaps and holes in the right place. its perfect for me- not too much extra bulk, but lots of protection
Cool. Plan to order one. Thanks for your insights.

no problem. also nice that it comes with an OK screen protector, although I'll probably put a Zagg on mine anyway
Does anyone know of a holster that would work with this? I'm really a big fan of the protective covers over the ports as I work in a pretty dusty environment. I have a Seidio surface case and holsterthat I'm currently using, but it has no protection for the ports whatsoever.

I have a zagg on mine and I love it. I could care less about the orange Peel or whatever...it protects my screen. Can't wait to get my otterbox though.

I got my Commuter in today and I really like it. It's much sleeker than the Casemate Pop I bought when I got the phone (although I like the Pop, don't get me wrong).
I had Commuters on my 3GS and have one on my 4S as well, so I'm not new to this case, only new to the SGSII version. I like how it flows with the back of the phone (makes pulling it out of my pocket easier since the "hump" at the bottom is still there). I also like how it covers the top of the face...the iPhone version doesn't have that and I like the protection. And it works great with my cheap screen protector (although I'll probably put the Otterbox screen protector that came with it on).
This is definitely a great case for the SGSII since it's highly protective and doesn't add much bulk to the phone at all. The one reason I always go with the Commuter for my phones is the built-in port covers and these don't disappoint.
Highly recommended!
Got my Otterbox Commuter today in the mail as well. Loved it on my Captivate and love in on my SGSII. My favorite case by far.
Getting a ZAGG today as well. Love them too.

MWilkenson, I got mine from this seller on Amazon. This IS for the AT&T SGSII. I received mine in 4 days, so they ship quickly (at least they did in my case).

You're welcome. Glad I could help.
Got mine from:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/120823457759?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
Got it in 4 days.
I'm liking mine. The only gripe I have is that the rubber makes it not slide in and out of a front jeans pocket as easy, kinda sticks to the pocket material.
I just got mine. Seems nice except for the top rubber part doesn't lie flush on the phone. It's like the case is ever slightly too tall or too wide, and it could have been avoided if it were designed be symmetrical instead of having the extra material on the top of the phone.
For clarity, this is what I'm talking about: youtube.com/watch?v=KwNISYXJ3QI&t=3m49s
Kind of a bummer, but I doubt most people will care.
I just wish it had a holster like the defenders do. I love otterbox cases.

This is also the seido (sp) case just rebranded. It looks sharp but the kickstand is actually pretty crappy. It feels solid at first but few months of use, it gets too worn out to support any weight. I'm kind of disappointed. Loved it at first though.

I have been rocking the Seidio hev3d
I have had the Seidio hev3d for about 8 months and it is a great case. Cheap sturdy case and is easy to put on and take off if battery pull is necessary.

I also have that case and been having it for about a year but i droped it once and case craked. It did serve it perpise of not damege my phone but 3 months later itcracked from the power side so now the case its a bit loose on top i am still thinking of bying this case again but i would like it cheper than 30.00 dollars witch i paid at amazon.
Seidio hev3d was what I went with in the end after a long look. Others look tacky and cheap. This isn't the thinnest but definitely the best.
If I do drop my phone, something I have never done and we are going back 12 years or so ! I know that this should keep it in one piece.

Wallet Flip Case

I was looking for a wallet flip case similar to this one...http://www.ebay.com/itm/Flip-Leather-Wallet-Case-Cover-Card-Holder-Samsung-Galaxy-S3-i9300-T999-i747-/290738025419?_trksid=p5197.m1992&_trkparms=aid%3D111000%26algo%3DREC.CURRENT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D14%26meid%3D1821906407524500591%26pid%3D100015%26prg%3D1006%26rk%3D1%26
I have one of these for my GS3 and love it. These are easy to find for the GS3 but not easy to find for the EVO 4G LTE. Anyone seen one similar? I have seen some that flip up and some that are actual cases to put the phone in (like on a belt clip), but nothing with opening to the side like a book. Please help! Thanks.
*wonders what you look like when talking on the phone
I'd actually really like this. I dug around a bit and did manage to find what looks like the same case but designed for the EVO. Problem is, it's still on alibaba and is bulk order only.

saw one of these cases in Nashville, at a kiosk in the mall. It seemed to be made out of the fake leather that peels and rubs off. The kiosk was called Cellaris, they have a website but its not on there.
I've always really wanted something like this. As long as the phone easily comes out which it looks like it does. Hope in someone finds some of these!

It does flip open, and has 2 Credit card slots.. It also has hole on back for taking pics without taking the phone out of the case. Option for belt clip is included as well as the clip..

Could you post a link for that one? Here's a links for some I found on amazon:
Deluxe Folio Ultra Wallet Leather Case:
Black
Red
Pink
Cyan... (I think)
Orange
Clutch (limited stock but I'm sure you can find more.
Another Clutch (this one just shows a GS3 but I'm sure it would work.
With all that said... I don't really like any of these styles, with the clutches obviously not being male friendly. Maybe it's a sign though that we'll start getting some more of this stuff.

Looks really nice. It seems kinda thick... how do you link it?
I'm looking for one of these as well. However, it seems as if everything I find is either extremely feminine or bulky. Looking for something plain and slim and black. SG3 has tons. EVOLTE not much.

Yep, I love the one I got for my gs3. It's not bulky at all and I was quite surprised by the quality of it. Even the magnet is nice and strong . I had forgotten I posted this and glad I came back because the amazon links above are exactly what I wanted. Thanks everyone!
its not healthy to keep your phone in your pocket close to your reproductive organs
just saying
electromagnetic waves does alot of damage. it can cause low sperm count and even cancer

Undoubtably. It's a lesson ASUS learned the hard way with their TF201...
Especially considering this is the description:
"Metal casing not only beautiful, but also has to reduce radiation. Therefore, it would have some interference signals. At weak signal area, may interfere with your cell phone use. However, in strong signal areas do not have any problems. If you mind, please buy with caution. I do not accept interference problems due to signal the negative feedback. Thank you for understanding."
It's like hearing Mark Rutte attempting to speak English, but what I can make out from that is that in weak-signal areas, you've basically got yourself a very expensive paperweight.
It does look really awesome, particularly the black one.
I like it except for the giant hinge on the side.
I want to rock that case so bad, but I simply cannot sacrifice signal.

I have one (silver) on the way from China, no idea when it will arrive.
If some of you are thinking about it, search ebay for "Iron man aluminum" for some better prices than I paid on Etsy.
I can sacrifice a little signal for something cool.
Has anyone received theirs yet? I've been using the old love Mei aluminum case and I'd like a new case. I just don't want to lose more signal than I do now.

Got it this week but have been travelling so haven't had much of a chance to mess with it. Front is metal, back and sides are plastic, so I don't think there is going to be an interference issue. I put the phone in it for a few minutes and didn't notice a big difference in signal.
Case is pretty bulky and heavy, but I can guarantee it will stand out in a crowd!

Ballistic Jewel LS Case

Bought the Ballistic Jewel LS case for my White Note 3. The case offers great protection as it sticks out a bit from all four corners which offer protection against cracked screens. The front of the case is raised to protect the screen. Love the case as it shows the whole phone through it.

Because I live in the UK this Ballistic case wasn't available from any UK sites. So I had to order it off Ebay, shipped from America so the case was around £7.99 and shipping from America cost £5
There is a link here for the case:
