[Q] GF Proof case? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone know a case that is good looking but also great when it comes to the phone dropping? My gf is a clutz and she has broken many screens before haha. So something with style and great protection. Thanks!

Haha gf proof
How about the OtterBox Commuter Case? I had one for the RAZR and it was perfect, not clumsy but beautiful.

hmm but it seems like damage could still be done on the device. i was looking for something that protects all around though. however, if it was for me, then i do love those flip cases! you dont see that in america much! first time buying an international phone haha

Silicone Case Suggestion?

I have one right now... but it's a cheap one from Ebay. When I first bought it, it fit real nice and tight but now over a month or two it's getting loose and slides around a bit.
Anyone have any suggestions? I'm looking for the following:
1. It doesn't expose the metal part of the camera on the back cover.
2. Fits snug on the phone indefinitely (is this possible?).
... and if possible one that isn't really sticky.
Thanks!
Silicon case!
I was bought one silicon case on HTC STORE http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_item.aspx?i=176956 and is great. Cost 20$.
hi, i have a clear one of these, think i would buy the grey next time. its also a cheap ebay item. its very snug, not as flexible (which makes removal a bit of an effort) and nowhere near as sticky as some silicon cases.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Soft-Silicone...h=item110357833639&_trksid=p4634.c0.m14.l1262
hope this helps
Yeah i bought one of those that bl1nky recommended. The only thing i can say is that the fit around the bezel edge is not as good as other 'softer' silicon covers.
In my case particularly, the right hand edge is badly formed and seems to pull away from the HD bezel.
In addition i find that locating and using the power switch to be troublesome and it's this that i find most annoying.
My personal quest for the perfect case continues....
Thanks for the suggestions... I'm also in the search of a perfect case. You wouldn't think it would be this hard!
I am using this from boxwave. The fit is nice and not sticky. I went with the clear one.

They look the same from what I can tell in the pictures... but you never know on Ebay it could be a cheaper knock-off of the original. I don't know because I haven't purchased the one from Ebay. I will be getting mine today or tomorrow from Boxwave and I'll take some pics of it and stuff and update here.
Is it the non-transparent one with small camera hole? (I'm in the boarding shcool where ebay is locked) If so, it's good, but rather thick, good for protection, but will make your HD thicker (around 16mm). If not, just remove this post.

Ok so I got the case and have been using it for two days now. It is pretty damn nice actually. It fits well, not too tight and not too loose either. It's not sticky like the cheap Ebay one I have so I can easily slide it in and out of my pocket. I got the smoke color. It's clear and shiny so it suits the HD well. I like being able to see the phone through the case as well.
can try this silicon case from Capdase
CW any pics mate ??
i got the silicon case from ebay and its not a tight fit.come off very easily. am now on the hunt for another case. there is a case for the iphone which is a plastic case but a rubberised finish.

They were available on eBay before the P6800 were even officially released. I got one and it fits very well, but using the Samsung book case now.
There is lot of them there for very cheap:

I found one today while looking for the same thing myself. Can't post links due to be a new site member, but if you look up on ebay the user 'freebitsuk' you'll be able to get to their store.
They also have it bundled with a screen protector too. Three colors available black, pink & purple.

How flexible would you say this case is? I'm deciding between this one and a silicon case myself. I'd like something more flexible than a plastic hard case, but not as floppy as silicone.
morkli,
Thanks!

Don't know how long they will take to deliver, though.

dont worry about that,quality really good. cant be break easy,and feel nice when you hold it,smooth put on face.
I have the Smasung OEM case and it works beautifully....for me I think covering the screen is more important than covering the aluminium back. The first perceived issue with the OEM case "flap" is really not an issue at all as mine has never flapped open becuase of the way it is carried. In edition, it can be positioned in either landscape or portrait mode. It is a good idea to keep the rubber grip edge on the case clean so it continues to grip any surface. This device is such a beautiful design that I find the Samsung case compliments it very well.

TPU stands for Thermoplastic Polyurethane, it's a different material from silicone.
Generally firmer and has a more rigid structure.

Zenus Capsule case

Just received mine after ordering on ebay. I paid for the faster shipping and received it in only 4 days.
I've attached some pictures. Since I don't have the phone yet (obviously) i've been putting the case in my pocket and have been simulating using it (sad i know)
I love the size, and this case is awesome. I ended up picking this one because of the look and the kick stand. Definitely recommend so far.

I also have this case i used it on my n7000 and it fits perfect my only complaint would be its a little slick so hold on tight

No sir I don't like it I like the free one that comes with it.
Bad news friend we don't get a free case. That was only for certain areas don't see a free case with at&t or rogers. Unless you mean the one best buy is giving out?

Just wanted you to know is not really a case. It is another back which replaces the stock back and a flap that covers the screen. The edges of the GNote are still completely exposed.
Just wanted you to know what the flip case is.
Apparently the flip case will only last about a month due to some defects. People are complaining that it is falling apart. Good for free but don't spend you hard earned cash on it.

If it doesn't, you can just add some padded tape to the inside. that way, if the phone is thinner, it will fit snugly.
Let me know if this one is good

Anybody try the ZENUS Galaxy Note Capsule Stand Slide Series with an AT&T Note yet? I wanna make sure it works perfectly before I pull the trigger. thanks
Has anyone found a case that's durable like the one Seidio sells? Seidio won't have one out until later and I need something durable and something with a good grip, with the phone being so big and I have small hands, I'm afraid it'll slip. I bought the Zenus leather case for the time being.
UPDATE: I asked one of the eBay seller about the Zenus capsule and said it's more on the slippery side but is made with hard material.

I have a black one and it fits really snug.

Gel Case?

I can't seem to find a Gel Case anywhere. What would be ideal is one that is notched out at the bottom so it can still be used with the dock. Can anyone point me in the direction of any gel case? Thanks.
Idk if we will ever see a gel case that will fit both the keyboard and tablet....... but gumdrop is coming out with a great looking gel/hard case!

YES! I can't believe it took this long but I'm happy. I'll probably order the eBay one above just to get something on my TFP and then hope that maybe some higher quality with different colours becomes available.
Just bought one! Glad to finally see a case like this.
I ordered one off ebay. I can't believe how long it took for these to be released. I would prefer TPU or a plastic snap-on case to soft silicone, but its a helluvalot better than nothing.

Ebay guy said no clear version coming... but what does he know really as these cheap things just come in from Asia.
How is the case? Is it snug and does it stay on?
I got one from Otterbox like that one for my EVO and it was too loose. Please let me know. Thanks!
Just ordered one. Thanks!
Now if anyone can find a cheap smart cover ($44.99 is ridiculously overpriced) that would be great!!!
Got one too. Thanks for the link!

S-View Flip Case

Does any one have one of these? I have bought one that is a copy, I just wondered if a genuine one did anything with the screen?
The genuine one is five times the price, is it worth the extra money?
It offers good side protection, you could take pictures without opening the flip, answer the phone,change music tracks etc. It's useful
I'm not fond of flip case but the S view seems good.
I had the occasion to try the S5 version and it was great. But you loose the look of the Alpha like other flip cover or case.
I saw a lot of copy 3 times cheaper than the original and they seem good.
Maybe someone has one, it can be great to have some feedback.
anyone have a pic of the side of the original case and fake case ? i want to see how well it protect the sides
