The only online stores I've seen them at are Amazon and New Egg. They started to pop up on Ebay. Not sure if any of those ship to Canada. Looks like not a whole lot of people stock this awesome case.

Benny, I mostly dislike the posts you do, they are a bit to sarcastic for my taste, if you dont mind me saying (even though I laughed big time with your transcription of your daugther answers!), but this post was very good and thank you for it. Very good mini-reviews. I like the fact that none of your cases are expensive, so cheers mate!

I'm thinking about buying one of this two:

- Samsung Galaxy III S3 Black ARMOR Hard SOFT Holster Case + Belt Clip STAND
- BLACK KICKSTAND HYBRID HARD CASE COVER SAMSUNG GALAXY S III 3 S3 ACCESSORY

Which of the 2 would you recommend? I want a case with stand that offers better protection than my TPU case, even though adding some bulk.

I already bougth a TPU case (Boxwave Duosuit), ever heard of them? They have lot of interesting cases for S3, check them out. :)

Cheers

Badelhas, you ol' sweet talker you! You really know how to win over an old sarcastic jerk like me with your kind words. Way to really hit one out of the park on your very first post! Grand slam!!! I'm glad you've been reading all of my posts so carefully that you were able to find sarcasm in most of my posts that I never even intended. And it's apparent that you read my "Case Review" post very carefully too. Of course I'd be HAPPY to offer you some advice...:)

For the first case you listed: Samsung Galaxy III S3 Black ARMOR Hard SOFT Holster Case + Belt Clip STAND | eBay I can only say that I doubt that you'll like it at all. I pretty much hate it, as you can tell since you read my post so carefully.:)

For the second case you listed: BLACK KICKSTAND HYBRID HARD CASE COVER SAMSUNG GALAXY S III 3 S3 ACCESSORY | eBay I highly recommend this case. It fits the phone so well keeping the trim lines and it's so easy to remove, again, as you already read in my first post...Since you read the post so carefully.:)

But the newest cases I found (Listed below) are the ones I like the best. I think you would like any one of them but I found the 1st one to be my favorite and I think you'll like it the best too. They may not quite have everything you want in a case but I think you'll find they have everything you deser...Er...I mean, need in a case. Cheers! Remember to keep those cards and letters coming kids! :):):)

What? I was completely serious about Badelhas using one of those cases and liking it. Can you imagine how awesome he/she will look at an important business meeting when the Justin Beiber ringtone goes off and he/she answers the Stitch phone? THAT is how careers are made, my friend. Trust me! First impressions are EVERYTHING! Just look at Badelhas's first post and see what a great first impression he/she made. Stitch, Turtles, or Hello Kitty can only help to complete the image. :rolleyes:;)

While Badelhas's mildly insulting post to me did suprise me a little it mostly made me laugh a little bit. I don't bruise too easily, especially when the offender is as confused as that.:rolleyes::)

While composing my reply I spent only about 5 minutes max on Ebay and came across those bizarre phone cases. There are lots more that are at least as weird as those are. Search on Ebay for "Galaxy S3 cases" and you'll get way more hits than the average person has time to view.

I would like to see some new life blown back into this thread (And a little humor) with postings of the most bizarre/funny/useless cases available on Ebay, Amazon or anywhere. Copying and pasting just the URL will save a bit of bandwidth rather than posting the actual picture. Plus it would allow us to view the item on it's sale page. Might be fun to see what else is out there. SOMEBODY is buying these things and I know I've seen at least one reference in this thread to a case I thought was absurd by someone who bought it and loved it. Who knows? Someone might find a crazy case that they actually can't live without. :)

Your phone might survive the night, but the same can't be said of you. :p
 
The minute any company comes out with a decent case in burnt orange and the Texas Longhorns logo on it....I will be ALL over that...lol

There are companies that make them if you send in the logo or pic you want printed on the case
 
True, but all that I have found are basically just a "skin-it" version or stickers to add. I would like one that is a good cover. So many current choices to pick from. My main concern is scratching ALL of it....to include the glass.

For some reason amazon wont ship it to my address, which sucks. The person in ebay I've seen with it is the same seller as the amazon one and he doesnt ship here. I'll try newegg, didnt realize they have it. Thanks!

I wonder if you could buy a basic TPU case and send it to one of these "Skin-it" companies and see if they would make a decal that would completely cover the outside of the case? No doubt that it's possible to do. The question is whether or not they'll do it for you. I think there may possibly be an issue with the decal sticking to a flexible TPU case though. Hmmm...I wonder how that would work. There are some very basic clear snap-on hard cases that would work for that if you didn't mind a hard case. Just some thoughts on the subject. Don't know if they're good thoughts though.;)

It seems like everyone has their favorite....but what I have not noticed was the talk about ways to also protect your screen. I know Otterbox is built to protect the entire phone, but what other options do we have to protect the body and screen?

There is another thread devoted to screen protectors if that's what you're looking for. Lots of info and options.

As far as cases go...Hard case, soft case, combination of the two, bumper case, wallet case, holster case, zippered pouches, drawstring pouches, and lastly...the Otterbox with built in screen protector. The only person I know who has one hates it and doesn't use it. Not sensitive enough and not clear enough. Oh yeah, I left one case out...The cardboard box it came it. ;):)

I currently have this. Custom skin I had created using 3M 1080 vinyl. It was good, but didnt really have that protection factor.

So, now I am currently rocking the Otter Commuter. Is a pretty good case and doesn't really wear bulky.

Curious, has anyone here tried the Power Bank cases being sold in Ebay? I'm interested in trying it for that added battery life.

I have seen the video of the Aegis case, and I am interested in it. My question to any of those who have it is: Is there one corner that is not protected by the hard poly-carbonate shell? It seems like the soft gel cover covers everything, but the hard shell covers only 3 corners.
Click to expand...



Yes only three corners are covered by both layers. By far my favorite casee out of trying the sg maxx, commuter, and incipio plus my aegis. Very grippy compared to the others and very easy to press the buttons. Also like 20.00 on amazon


Edit to add: the rubber is way thicker on the corner without plastic on it.
 
I really like the white and grey incipio version. I'll be looking to get an otterbox soon..but it works for now. also feels nice to the touch.
