I ordered the green Trident Aegis from Amazon, love it, it fits nicely and looks good.

I ordered the green Trident Aegis from Amazon, love it, it fits nicely and looks good.
The green and black looks kind of waterproof fresh, if you know what I mean.
Anyone seen this one? I just ordered it last night. I have been a big otterbox fan since iPhone 3G, but this case comes with a hard shell screen cover and seems a little less bulky. It costs $49.99, but what is $50 for a $650 phone? Samsung Galaxy S III Ballistic SG MAXX Series Case | goballisticcase.com
I've had this case for about a week now (the black/white version with a white GS3) and really like it for the most part. The only thing I don't like is the screen protector. Although I was still able to use the touch screen through the protector, I didn't like the look as it wasn't 100% crystal clear. I am using a protector from BestSkinsEver instead.
Also, although I like the case and its build quality is great (except for the screenprotector) I still think $50 is way overpriced for it.

I think this one is perfect to me. Unfortunately the ebay seller does not send to Brazil.
I could not do this case, but I will post it because I am sure someone might like it. This case will for sure protect your phone. I have found two different ones. Not sure why.

is the green parts slippery at all?
or is it the black part?
i just want an otterbox IMPACT series...
i hate it when the i place the phone on my dash and it starts to slide off...
the IMPACT case for my dell streak did not move...
I guess MobileCity used the wrong case. The second case looks much better, but its not for me unless I can find it at a really good price. lol
Ok for people looking for a dual layer case here are my experiences thus far:
The triden aegis series cases are like the otterbox commuter cases. Only difference is the aegis (the one I had for my s2) doesnt use slippery plastic like the commuter does.
I went to verizon and put the incipio on my s3 it was a nice case, slim but doesnt feel very robust to me and I DONT like the fact that there is barely any 'ledge' around the screen area.
Ok so far I started out with a ballistic maxx s3 case. I like it but its not the right color for me.
I am using a commuter case NOW but dont like how hard the buttons are to press and how slippery the case is. I do like the slim factor compared to the maxx case above.
I have a Trident aegis case on the way to me as we speak which I will be customizing as soon as I get my hands on it.
For people looking for a really good dual layer case with nice materials and not too thick the aegis is the way to go IMO.

How much ledge do you need? There seems to be plenty to me.
That sucks. Out of the entire world there are only 2 countries listed that they won't ship to: Brazil and Israel. Ok, now tell the truth...What did Brazil do to that California seller to pi$$ them off so much?
Maybe if you search around you can find another just like it. I don't recall if I saw more than one of those or not from different sellers. But most (But not quite all) cases I looked at were available from multiple sellers so maybe you can find another seller selling it.

That case is a metal bumper, there is no back. It's completely open.
What the plastic piece looks like...
I'm not sure if this was discussed at all in this thread, but I ordered this case/bumper because I wanted some protection while preserving the looks of my phone. I loved it except that I noticed the signal quality would drop on my phone and if I held the phone in certain ways (particularly holding the phone against my ear and shoulder) that my calls would drop out completely. I'm wondering if any of you who got this case experienced any of the same problems?

There is one smooth black stripe through the center, the rest of the black is textured, and the green is rubber so it's relatively easy to hang on to. It's a good deal though, I picked mine up for 22 dollars.

The Incipio DualPro is an amazing case! Silicon on the actual phone with a hard shell to hold it in place. No regrets getting this one!

When they ship to these place the Item gets lost or Stolen
so seller has to send again or will get bad remark
so that is why they dont send
so we know these are not good places
I;m still thinking about getting this. Only thing that is preventing me is because how it exposes some of the phone. What is your opinion? I rarely drop my phone but that doesnt mean it will never happen. How much protection do you feel it offers?

Yes, it does expose the top and the bottom of the phone! But I don't mind, I just want my phone to look slim and sexy! I don't like all the other cases that surround the phone. IF I drop the phone and IF it gets a scratch at the bottom or at the top then I'll get a case that surrounds it, to cover the scratch, until then my phone will look good!

I think it's more likely that if you drop it and it takes an impact on the top or bottom the glass will shatter or at least crack, and not just leave you with a surface scratch on the plastic body that you can cover with a case. It won't look sexy then.
Your reasoning might be correct, or it could be something else, I don't know. But I think saying that
Brazil and Israel aren't good places might be going a bit far. You're kidding, right? I'm not sure sidneybianco would appreciate that. Every country, including India has plenty of faults but I wouldn't go so far as to say that India isn't a good place...At least not on a public forum.
Maybe the owner of the country just doesn't like their soccer (Football) team.

All you dual layer case folks really really should try out the Acase Superleggra
$14.95 shipped from amazon and I liked it MUCH more than the Incipio.
The hardened outer shell comes up the sides a little more which keeps the Silly Cone in place. The fit and finish is tremendous.
I will have to take a few pics to show you. The case is also a breeze to get on and take off (car dock use).
