Verizon Galaxy S III Accessories

originally had the verizon holster case but I bought the aluminum back and cruzerlite clear case. Still wanted to holster my phone so I tried to fit it in the holster with the cruzer lite and its fits snug and looks good

I've got an Otterbox commuter in Glacier white that looks and fits great on my white s3. Feels very safe and secure.

Case mate phantom and loving it, little bulky but clean look and the button covers ease up over time.

I was thinking about getting one too. How are the power and volume buttons? Some peeps say they are hard to push?

I got the Belkin bumper case. And HD Zagg shield (doesn't have the orange peel of regular zagg).
As someone that generally hates cases, I find the bumper gives me the illusion of no case..but protects the corners very well.
Keeps the phone nice and minimal looking still.

That looks very clean, I also hate cases this seems to be my next case

Was sort of expensive for a bumper (29.99) but I got it at best buy, it's cheaper on Amazon, I just hate ordering stuff.

hi

Trident case on mine. Would like more color choices but nice case otherwise.

Rather than looks does anyone have any experience with dropping their phone with their respective cases? My life flashed before my eyes a few months ago when I saw my old iPhone 4S dropping from a bag I was carrying. But, the otterbox hybrid case I was using kept the phone safe and secure. While I don't want to go full derp and increase the thickness of the phone too much, I would love to increase the peace of mind with a good case that protects better than it looks.
Thx in advance.

Lg nexus 4 leather bumper

any clue, anyone know anything about this?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/LG-NEXUS-4-LEATHER-BUMPER-/251199070751?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3a7ca1a21f

Looks like it's just a skin. I doubt it would actually act as a bumper and protect your phone if dropped though.

This is the same guy who was earlier offering 5000 n4 like bumpers (which he'd be receiving soon) with a single one costing 50$. I guess he finally got it and it turned out not to be aluminum as he thought.
I strongly suspect he got it from china (alibai etc) where they were showing n4 aluminium bumpers for a few bucks for bulk orders, if I remember correctly.

I believe the question should be "How amazing COULD that be?" I've seen shoddy leather work and I've seen amazing leather work.
Ordered my Nexus 4 on the 13th. Still waiting.

Yes I would like to see implemented leather into a case/bumper like those stylish iPhone cases. Well if he does send you photos post them here.

These kind of skin is not going to stick well with the curved soft rubber edge of nexus 4.

its a sticker.. I seen it a few days ago and just skipped past it.

SGP Ultra-thin Air

Does anybody have one of these? Preferably in the orange color? I'm considering buying one of these and want to know if it is worth it.

In my opinion it´s overpriced, i have Meifeng case it´s very good quality and cost 6€, see here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2030443&highlight=meifeng+nexus+4
Also have Ringke Fusion but bit bulky for me and now i´m using Meifeng and the texture and grip it´s extraordinary.
Greetings.

I put mine on for 5 seconds and took it off. It fits but it comes off easy. And it's very smooth texture so it's very slippery. IMO Rearthe Ringke Slim is much much better.

Do you have the black one or the orange one? Also, does that mean you don't want it...? (hint, hint)

[Q] What cases do you guys put on your devices?

I'm looking for a good case to put on my Nexus 5. I'm thinking of picking up the Spiegen SGP Ultra Hybrid Crystal Clear. Looks nice to me. I'm looking to see what you guys have and if they're good, I'll consider using them.

You can also click on my signature to show my nexus 5 on the "nexus 32GB". I am a big fan of TPU and cruzerlite designs

I got the bumper from the play store but I wouldn't recommend it. It started peeling on me right away. I ended up getting refund.

I have it and I'm returning it. The back isn't clear is hazy. The buttons are too flat

Something I took into consideration when looking at cases was the flash hole. Many cases sport a hole just barely big enough for the flash. I wanted to make sure there was enough of a cutout for the flash to reach the entire area of the potential photo area.
HDR is pretty awesome with this phone though, and I rarely use the flash... Just something to think about.

6 cases

I got these 6 cases and used 4 of them and the other 2 my wife used until we both found our favorites. I'd be happy to answer some questions to help other XDA members find a good case.

Which one is your favorite?

That white case is very sharp looking... What exactly is it? The blue one is nice as well with the perforated looking back.

That's the blue one

I had the Incipio case and just got the RINGKE Black Dot and so far I am in love with the RINGKE case. I don't drop my phone often but I do end up scratching it so I bought this simple case and have been pleased. i am interested in getting a NEO Hybrid, I had one for my S4 but it ended chipping my mid frame

how easy is it to crack the outer ring ??
use to diz tpu cases, but might venture to something else here.
slim armor, neo, ringke are on the list. need something soon, my wife and i have naked phones.

Which of the cases was the sleekest but added good protection?

The blue one for sure. I loved the style of it.

I currently have the Ringke, the Spigen slim and the Spigen Neo Hybrid and I by far prefer the Ringke (blue one in OP's picture).
The grip is perfect, not too grippy and not too smooth, and it doesn't pick up oils and smudges from use as badly as the texture on the Spigen slim (black one in OP).
