Been using the Body Glove for vibrant on and off the past couple of months. Adds a little bulk but added protection from accidental drops makes it worth it.

Get a TPU and be done with it

my fav is the black rubbery one from T-Mo... got it at launch date. I've tried others since and they always fail by comparison.
Also, you know there is a whole section on this right? You may want to check there.
If you need real protection, and want it to still look good, Otterbox is the way to go. I don't really notice the phone being any thicker, but the protection is superb, and it looks elegant, to me at least.
Sedio Innocase, great protection and adds minimal bulk.

I'm a big fan of seidio... I returned that case it was so bad in my opinion.

Naked is the only way to be. I throw mine in my pocket with keys and what not, no scratches yet. I tried numerous cases but keep going back to nothing at all.
Naked maybe a good way to go. I still have concerns with scratching the back so I put an invisible shield full-body cover on mine and haven't looked back. Hate the bulk that is added from the other cases too.
Otterbox for daily use & Trident case when boating

I was using a TPU case but I feel like I am killing my phone pressing the buttons. I have one of the I9000 mesh cases and am very happy with it without a screen protector. They are on eBay btw.

Hands down its the Otterbox. Case closed haha! Only thing is its the "commuter" so its a pocket style. Otterbox dont make the "defender" for our vibrants so no belt clip but search the threadz someone posted a discount code. I used it too!

I wanted to go naked, but was too paranoid, so my solution was a Barely There case. I've loved it because it doesn't add any bulk, and has already saved my phone a couple of times from dinged corners.

the harder it is on the side and spends most time in ur pocket, it scratches that chrome side/corners of ur vibrant... i had body glove with my other fone.. not saying its a bad case, extra protection from dropping is good.. but it does scratches it over time.. try a cheap silicone and with a case/pouch or w.e u call them.
Otterbox not only does it not add bulk,you can still put it in pocket! I've tried all the silicone ones. The OBX combo has held up the best so far.
Sexyness + Strong as hell... otterbox
Got a $2 silicone rubber case from ebay and it works just fine...
I'm on the verge of buying a case for my SGS2 but I don't know what I should look for. I banged up my captivate pretty bad (even dropped it in water and it worked!) and would like to keep this phone sexy but functional. I need a case that will fit into my jeans and can still hold onto one handedly and is easy to use all the buttons and Ports. I'm considering a kind of rubber one because I would possibly like the feel of it and won't slip out of my hands. Screen protecters I feel are a waste because I've never scratched my captivate screen and I put it through hell. What are your suggestions for cases? If you could post a link to the product it would be great. Thanks!

I'm using this one...fits great, has a diamond-plate pattern texture where you grip it so it's not slippery in the hand. and has all the microphone holes in the right places for our model.

Ive been looking at this one, which is a few bucks cheaper but looks very similar to what you posted. http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-BLACK-S...745897?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item43aa3a2429
@BlakDye,
I have the $2.95 version of the tpu gel case from arena.gadget on the way. It was shipped on 10/28 so I should have it any day now. I currently have this case which I got as an incentive with my phone instead of a price match, but it is a little too bulky for me. If I like the tpu case, I'll be selling this one.

You have a $600 phone, and you're looking at a $3.00 case?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA Premium App
If it does it job right yep, From what I did to my captivate it should be good and protect the plastic from scratching if I drop it. I've never dropped my phone to the point of anything breaking.

If they had that case hanging on the wall of an AT&T store I'm sure it would be $25.00!
and BTW it fits much better than the AGS case I bought when I got the phone.
nobody like pouch/holder，i dont think someone would using a case for long time.
i just use case with my phone for 1 month.
And did you remove the plastic covering the screen? I have ghost armor already ...was wondering of anyone has done this?

I have one...
I did not remove the screen protector. Instead I removed my ZAGG IS. I like the built in one. However removing the plastic one is not hard at all. Its just glued in place.
Wasn't worried about the ease of removing so much as the feel...its kinda springy if u know what I mean ...its starting to annoy me some lol

I bought mine on Saturday but I am taking it back because of the built-in screen protector.
Not only does it not sit flush with the glass (which is why it's "springy") but it distorts the quality of the screen horribly.
Getting my money back and sticking with my Diztronic TPU
Wow I removed it because it was too springy and it feels way better with my ghost armor screen protector!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
I don't think Otterbox took into account the weirdly concaved screen. I agree with the feel of it, spongy. But i also don't like how the sides are squared off, as opposed to more rounded on the previous versions I've used on other devices. The accessory plugs are hard to open and close. If you take the silicon cover off, you notice there's no grab rail for the silicon in the corners. Its hard to lock into the holster. Feels unnatural when taking it out if the holster and I've used a defender for over a year previous.
I'm OK with all the feeling because I was using a commuter it seems much like the commuter to me...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
On every device I have ever had a defender series I just cut away the plastic shield it sucks one I do that I toss on my own screen protector and enjoy!
Sent from my SGH-I747M using xda premium
I just got my defender today.I like it feels fine had the commuter before this one the commuter does feel more rigid but I like not having to worry on screen. The holster does look odd will have time to test that tomorrow
Keep in mind that there are two different varieties of the defender floating around for the s3 it seems.

Do tell more, and please provide documentation.
I only know of one and I have it. I Have no issues with the screen protector fitting either. After a day of using it, it felt broken in!

Did you purchase directly from Otterbox? I purchased at local att store. After4 days, no better. Thinking of calling Otterbox and complaining.
Deleted.
I bought from AT&T but now outs returnd the screen was grainy may be that's what was meant by springy... I bought back a commuter but don't want to deal with adhesive protector yet want to have a protected screen

Military style pants with pockets on the thighs or in a inside jacket/suit pocket. DO NOT PUT IN YOUR BACK POCKET! I had some unexplained reboots whilst in myback pocket.
I use an origial Flip Case. The white one, which is not so white on the inside anymore. It likes dirt.
Quick review of the flip case. It grows on you. At first i thought it was slightly difficult to use, but now after a month the spine is very soft so i just fold it under the back of the phone. This gives added traction as well. The only problem I have really is no big deal and that is that you need to learn to hold it in a different way when you take pictures.
One last thing. If anyone knows or has contact with a case designer I would like one that combines a bumper case with a flip case.
In my purse!

I have a Active Seidio case and holster. I got the gloss white case and its kinda slippery. Not sure if the black one is rubberized as it was for the thunderbolt. The edges are rubber so it's not too bad. However if the black one is rubberized I would go for that one. As far as carrying it the holster is awesome! I'm 6' 150lbs. I do carry it in my pocket when I'm wearing sweats and it's not bad at all. .. I wouldn't know anything about carrying it in skinny jeans as I don't own any.

I've got a slim case on mine and I carry it around in my pocket without any problems.
In my pocket. I don't notice it any more than I noticed my GNex in there. Carried it around last night and today in both jeans and dress pants for work, no problem. I'm not a tall/big guy and I don't wear really baggy pants either. The only way I could see this being uncomfortable is if all you wear are skinny jeans.
Just a heads up. I discovered it, just browsing the threads. I saw bodyglove had a case. i searched it, and directly from their site, the case is only $6.25 with free shipping :good:. Here's the link. http://www.bodyglovemobile.com/catalog/htc-droid-dna,122.htm
I ordered 1, so I'll give my personal opinion after I receive it. I currently use the otterbox, but i hate the bulk. I figure for 6 bucks, I'll try it.
COUPON ODES STILL WORK THANKS NIMRODSV AND BIGJEW92. They have to be entered in all caps. BGMAF15 15% BGMPAY25 25%. You can only use 1. I just tried them both.
also, use coupon code BGMAF15 and get an extra 15% off so the total comes to $5.76 with free shipping! woohoo
Just got it today. I actually ordered it last Thursday. Feels nice on the phone. No bulk. I just hope it holds up to drops half as good as the otterbox. Now I need to order a screen protector. I forgot about it because the otterbox came with it. I like it so far.. Good job BG.

Ordered one yesterday. I've been looking for a case. I have some concerns about this one that I'm not sure are valid (can't feel it so I don't know). But even if I don't like it, it's only $6.

Its pretty smooth. Has rugged edges, it doesn't stick to my pocket like some rubbery cases. Its like a tpu case, except has more of a hard plastic case feel. I watched a couple YouTube videos on it before I ordered it. I like it so far. Hopefully I don't have to drop test it before I get my screen protector. Hope this answers your questions.

I've been meaning to get an Otterbox case as I have 3 for my iphones(love those Otterboxes). This looks like it may be cool to use in the meantime.
I've been using this case since I got my phone, and I have nothing but good things to say about it. Note that the rear notification light will be covered by the case, but the material is easy enough to drill a hole through.
Thanks for this! Everyone needs to see this! Just ordered mine last night!

getting mine today. very excited to test this case out.
Just got it in the mail today. Overall, I think its pretty nice. A great deal for the money. I like that Volume and Power still feel like buttons. I also like that the sound flows better when the phone is on it's back.
Just ordered! thanks for sharing this great deal!

Love this case, for some reason makes the phone feel thin, and offers great grip and doesn't get finger prints or smudges, body glove did a great job on the drop suit.
