ive had a cheap little sleeve, and it really did nothing for protection. I know your against otterboxs, but I will still recommend a otterbox commuter. It DOES add some thickness to your phone, but it offers amazing protection. a sleeve really only protects from scratches, not big drops.

I went to the mall to test out the cheap cases and I could hear my phone hit the glass counter top when I gently turned it over. I went directly to Best Buy Mobile and overpaid for a Belkin... which is what I also bought for my original Incredible. I love the fit, protection, and coverage of the buttons. I clean my phones daily, so I like that the buttons aren't exposed.
Just my 2 cents.
Good luck with whatever you decide!

The inciPio silicrylic case. It's a slim 2 piece case at a reasonable price. It looks so GOOD to me. ( I have a white galaxy s 3 with the white and gray version of this case ) it's stylish, slim, and provides great protection

I have been really impressed with this case...not too bulky, nice grip on the side, the corners have extra reinforcement.

I have the Incipio Dual black/black on my white phone. Looks super sexy and really doesnt add much bulk while still providing great protection.

You can look at SGP's line of cases,
http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/samsung/galaxy-s3.html
Samsung Galaxy S3 Case Neo Hybrid Color Series (TPU back cover and a polycarbonate frame)
Samsung Galaxy S3 Case Neo Hybrid Lumi Series (Same as Color Series but brighter colors)
Samsung Galaxy S3 Ultra Thin Air Series (Polycarbonate back)
Samsung Galaxy S3 Case Modello Series (TPU Case)

I've tried the Incipio case and currently use an Otterbox. The Incipio case was nice and the color complimented well, but felt too loose. The Otterbox fits tight, but is too tight for those who need to change battery frequently or whatever. I haven't completed decided which I like better.

S view cover will this fit us version?

It was $59.99 They weren't going to sell them til tomorrow launch but I argued because the website said they were in stock today at my local sore. Which is why I drive out there.

Could you tell me, that the back cover of s-view is the same as the normal S4 back cover ? Or It's thicker ?

There is another thread open that shows the two back covers. The s-view cover is a hair thicker.

The S-View Cover Linked in the OP is not the Samsung S-View Cover. I believe all conversation about buying one from best buy and such is about the Official S-View Cover. Just a heads up for anyone who didn't click the link.

YAH the reason i bought the one from amazon is because it comes with a kickstand.

I received my tridea s view case from Amazon, and it fits the phone perfectly. However, I'm not thrilled with the case. Here's my take:
The good: the s view feature works great, better than anticipated, and the case does a nice job of standing the phone up horizontally. The case is thin, and doesn't add much bulk at all. I like the color (I got the blue case).
The bad: the case feels cheap, almost like cardboard. I suppose this might be partly to make it thin, but I don't like the feel of it. Also, there is no protection whatsoever for the corners of the phone. I had hoped that the part that holds the phone in would come around the corners, but it doesn't. What is a case for, other than to protect the phone from drops and scratches? This case provides poor protection. Also, the cover doesn't stay closed, it just flaps around.
I'll keep using this case until someone comes up with a better s view option. I'm sure there will be more knock-offs as time goes on.

I just received my tridea s view case from Amazon today and yah the only flaw in my opinion is the corners, i like i just thought it would have more protection for corners but its fits nicely and the black looks nice. Plus i love the kickstand thats a major plus for me.

You can get it for $40 on Amazon now.

Would you recommend this case? I like it from the pictures but is it really low quality? How about plastic cover? Is it soft plastic or could damage metal sides? Thanks...

Spigen Case Slim Armor

Hey Guys, i just wanna share this case,because many people has talked about the case but i dont know if anyone got one.i Have one of this, and one Neo Hybrid.
Definitly this one gives more protection but makes the phone a little bigger as well.
on everyday use, i use the Neo Hybrid,but when i know im going to a place like a club or something i know i have the possibility that my S4 drops on the floor i put the SlimArmor.

Oh wow, that indent is so deep on the camera lens and flash, it seems like trouble on the long run with dust trapped inside.

Lol looks like it came in the wrong box. How do you guys think this red one looks with the white S4?

nice that lip looks good. the other slim armor thread turned into a slim armor bashing thread but this looks good. did you receive this in the neo hybrid packaging? if so it's fake

Did you just push yours into your case with the TPU and the shell already mated?
My phone doesn't stay in well and there is more of the Silver bezel showing than what I see in your pictures.
Even with just the TPU case by itself the bezel is showing

yes i saw in a review on youtube its better to put the phone in to the case when they already mated its easy and i can confirm that,the other way around i take more time to put it through.
im going to put some more pictures today just you to see more detail of the cover. but i guess was you didnt put the phone on the cover that is already mated that can be youre problem.mine i think is doing the job is suposed to do.very protective and still not so big,but a little bigger than the neo hybrid that is the case im loving right now.

I got this case on black last night for my black S4. Coming from Otterbox this case will not protect against decent drops as its far too thin. Its nice for low maybe 3 foot drops. My only grip is that the gloss hard Cover shows finger prints heavily. Extremely heavily. And, it's hard to wipe off even with a cloth or shirt, etc. Nice designed case though. More for looks than protection.

i think it can protect fare enough because its made of tpu material and on top of that plastic. i had on my S3 only a skin case that doesnt protect at all,it only spare me at the riscs on the camera when i put it on top of a table.so for me this one protects really well because im not planed to get my s4 fall of my hand at a great distance.its only an extra protection if im unlucky at some point. because as i told before i only use this case when i go to a club at night or to a place that is full of people. on every day use i use the Neo Hybrid that i prefered. i really like more neo Hybrid and that one protects even less but my only concern is when i put on top of a table or something to not make scratches on the back camera lens

sorry but this slim armor is fake
i ordered mine directly from spigen SPG in california und it looks different.

but they send me the number, and i bought from spigen uk on amazon either way protects so its better then my slim cover that i used on S3 that cost me only 3£ so if its fake its fake,thanks anyway for let me know.

looks nice.

Yes the case WILL interfere just a little.
But it makes your phone look soooooo good!!!!

I was thinking about getting those but the back cover needs to be removed to use it. What I'm looking at now is the fine day cases. They come in metal frame glass back or leather and the frame goes on but the back goes on top of the back case. And just my honest opinion looks Way way better than thsee metal cases (also doesn't hurt the signal as bad) have a look.

SUPCASE [Unicorn Beetle] Review

I bought this case thinking that I would be able to take off the case with ease, but that was not the case.
The case seems like it's almost too tight of a fit and I felt like I was going to break my phone trying to put it together. In fact, I would have scratched the hell out of the sides if it weren't for my skinomi skin. I probably won't be using this case much - if at all, but I will admit that it feels like it would protect my device. The screen protector is awful, as expected, but meh. Cost $20 @ Amazon if you're interested. I'll probably return it if I find the energy to.
I honestly wouldn't recommend this case to anyone, but here are some pics :silly:

Yes it is. This is my go to case when I need heavy protection (it's one of 5 cases I use). I didn't find it difficult at all to remove. As a matter of fact I remove and place cases constantly. It was probably difficult for the OP since he has a skin on it. The tolerances for these case are very precise.

You know... Now that you mention it.. I also have a glass sp underneath so that likely did not help at all *-* Either way though, the top portion of the case (where I believe the phone is supposed to click into, correct?) was a really really tight fit T: Maybe I should have tried to click in my phone the other way though :silly: I can't remember what I wrote in my original post but I'm sure I already complained enough :laugh:
The case wasn't all bad though (for me). It felt sturdy without too much additional bulk, but it just isn't for me d: Probably going to stick with my s-view until I find something better while lurking these forums :good:

Its too bad the Skinomi Techskin does not include protection to the Chamfered edges. Neither do the other skins on the market. Bummer.

If there is no way to replace it, polishing is always an option, right? :laugh: ;;;
I figure it's barely any metal anyways d: chances are that in a few years this will be my @home phone that I will just toss everywhere anyways :victory:
Also, I just noticed that you have read/commented in several threads regarding this stuff though so I assume your knowledge on this is greater than mine XD

Haha, no further comment, :silly:
