Pics of the Speck Candyshell in pebble and light grey.
After reading on this thread for the last two hours, I've finally scanned all pages! Woah! There are some great cases out there. Since I'm new here, I can't post pictures but I did want to comment on the case I'm using. I saw a couple of people here have it too, it's a Speck Candyshell. I have the "Pebble Blue/Bayou Grey" one on my Blue GSIII. I have to say, it's a pretty good case! I like that it has the two layers of protection, hybrid aspect, all in one piece. It doesn't add much bulk to the phone and on a blue gs3, looks great! It does have some cons though, the back is glossy so you do get a lot of hair line scratches all over. If looked at on an angle, you can see all the thin scratches, but nothing too major if looked at normally. Another thing about this case is that it fits so well that when you take it off, you kinda have to give it a good pull from one of the corners to take it off. This has caused my case to break from the areas that take the bend, for example mine's broken on the area right below the camera cutout, the thin space between the power button and the screen, and the part above the charger cutout. Speck did think of this problem and tried to avoid it by leaving the four corners with a material that is more flexible, in order for them to pull avoiding the pressure on other areas of the phone, but it seems it hasn't worked. I have read online on Speck's websites under the reviews of the case that this problem has affected lots of users. I contacted Speck and they do cover this under their warranty as long as purchased from an authorized retailer. I think that it's not a major problem because as long as the phone is in the case, you can't even notice where the case is broken, BUT for the price Speck charges for these...it definitely is a problem.
Besides Speck, I haven't really tried any other cases, that's why this thread has been of great use to me. Has anyone tried those cool looking 3D cases by FreshFiber? I like all the funky designs they have. After looking for minimalist cases like the
Box Case by incase for the iPhone (really wish they made one for the GS3), I stumbled upon this case made by FreshFiber. It's called the
Book Case. It's not quite the same style or anything but still kinda cool. I was going to get the
cheap cassette silicone ones from Amazon, since they do have that "boxy" rectangular look, but I was looking for something more hard shell. I emailed FreshFiber asking if the material was hard or soft, and they replied to me that this case is made of "laser sintered Nylon" and was hard rather than soft and flexible. I think I'm gonna get one and see how it actually looks.
Bought a bunch just to see what I like best.
