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.

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 am pretty dissapointed with the lack of accessories for this phone. Extended battery made for this phone not the global is non existant. There is only a couple of cases. I can't seem to find a belt holster(no not a leather one, just a plastic clip and your phone locks in). Its just disappointed that our choices for accessories is crappy

eBay seems to have a lot of accessories.. Most of the International accessories are compatible with our phone.

TruCells are confirmed to not cause boot loops
The new hyperions are not going to cause boot loops
GtMax's don't cause boot loops
What kind of case do you want? A styrofoam case? A case made out of candy? If you don't like leather, plastic, aluminum, or metal, what do you want? Wood? Good luck with that bro

SGP cases aren't made for our phones. They don't even poke that extra mic hole for us. Everyone on the forum had to do it themselves. Most of the cases you listed are for the international version. Only casemate and seidio have something appropriate. And as for the cheap generic cases, that's exactly just what they are; I prefer real accessories with my nice gadget.

Making 1 tiny Mic hole (10 seconds to make?).... hope you don't sprain something. The things people complain about these days. There are a lot more cases than the ones that I listed. Look on the forums, they're freakin everywhere.

Dont get me wrong, Seidio does make some of the most high quality cases out there. I have had one for almost every one of my phones. My issue with them with this phone is that this phone is very thin and it fits in my hand, pocket, whatever so nicely, and it so light, but seidio;s cases are always thicker than i would prefer for at least this phone.
I wish seidio would make a battery for this phone already, they are usual good about having an extended battery and also battery charger for any new phones on the market. Another thing they dont have yet is a spring holster for just the phone(wo case). They have one but it is made to go with the surface case.
Cases
You can try this one I love it! No bulk added to the phone. Some people have complained about GPS issues but I have had none whatsoever . . . If you do take it back!

Check out Rearth for cases. I love mine (Ringke). www.rearthusa.com
Fast shipping too I got it in two days.
I got one of these. Fits great, all the holes for our specific model ect.....

I have this case and I've got to say that I feel it makes the note too bulky. It certainly adds as much protection as you would ever need although. And maybe I'm doing something wrong but when i take it off, I feel like I am going to break my phone in half. Its very hard to take off which I do often for battery pulls. Ya know?
Anyways. Just ordered some "slim" case off amazon one of the top rated ones. Should be here in a bit and I'll try that one out.

I got a clear one, both form and function are just fine. Got it from this guy $1.99 delivered.
Try fortte.com. They will customize any case in anyway shape or form as you instructed. Bought two cases for HD2 and Mesmerize.

Ballistic cases in my opinion are the BEST out there! Period. The have a bit of bulkiness due to the amount of protection they provide, but still feel nice in your hand. Coming soon I hope!

If you want a case close to otterbox quality, then get a Reiko case off Ebay. It 10 buck cheaper, but feel like 35.

Or do you even have a case ?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
There really is no "best" very case, but only the "best" case for your needs.
We would need a little more info on what your needs are; slim with little protection, slim with most protection, don't really care about bulk but protected or anything else. There's a thread at the very top of the accessories forum where it lists a ton of cases you can do your research on and then post back with what you like and ask for advice on what the pros and cons to those are but without knowing what you're looking for I'd have to just suggest what I went with, which is the incipio silicrylic dual pro

I personally got a cruzerlite tpu case and its okay and just temporary. I just needed something to protect it until I found the case that I want.
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
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
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.

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
