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.
This is for anyone looking to buy the Slim or Tough armour cases from Spigen. I bought both to review and noticed that they were almost the same. Protection wise there is almost no difference. The cutouts are different.

I too bought both, not knowing which I'd like.
I'm actually going to keep both. I really like the way each one feels and could see one used more over another at different times.
The Slim Armor feels great (very sleek) while offering good protection.
The Tough Armor feels a little more beefy, but still great.
They were already cheap on amazon, so might as well just have both!
Do these have the kickstand on the back? I hate the kickstand on the back personally, but I haven't seen a slim or tough armor without it for the galaxy s6.

They both have it on the back. There a little flimsy if you ask me. IF a kickstand is something you don't care about, then I recommend Verus cases.

I bought the tough armour for the Note 4 and had one for the S4. Both of them were way better quality than these two.
@blackout720 @h20wakebum I'm going to buy one of these soon, just a question, Do these cases make power and volume buttons hard to press or they are tactile?

One problem i found with Spigen is that it is easily scratched. I understand that it is cheap but still, ugh!
I have the tough armor, but what I don't like is the 2 sharp rectangular sides instead of smooth curved sides! I prefer Neo hybrid!
I came here searching the difference for both cases ? Someone said tough armour is beefy. So protection will be more right
I just checked at Spigen site and they say Tough armour case has EXTRA air cushion technology for all sides against the slim armour case which get at sides only. I guess tough armour case is more protective than just beefy

The tough armor makes it hard to press. The slim has much softer rubber so it's much easier to press (and you feel the click while on the tough armor it's like pressing rubber).

Had one of these for my S7 and they are really nice cases. First time Caseology has made cases for Google phones. (Ignoring the rebranded Nexus 6 cases)
Couple days ago there was a navy blue version of Parallax series but now they are gone and only black version remains. Hopefully they will bring it back for order.

How are there cases by the way? They look kinda bulky.
They're a little thicker than your average 2 piece case. The thing is they are so well designed it honestly feels pretty close to as premium as a phone.
just received my case today. TL;DR I like it!
The back is textured so it makes it better handling the XL. I had a spigen rugged armor on prior and while I liked the look of that case, the back was a lil slippery. This case has almost a matte finish/feel to it which is a better IMHO. Case would be 10/10 if it had port covers for the usb c and headphone jack but thats just me
amazon Link for those interested

Can you post a picture from different angles? Especially the back, front and straight from the side so we can see how thick it makes the phone. I would like to buy this case
Are these cases durable? I've always been interested in them, but feared they focused on looks & feel over actual protection.

So yea, I got both cases. I just had the Caseology Legion case and Samsung Rugged case to start but I decided to get the Defender right after I got my phone because while the rugged case feels good it just didn't feel like it would have good drop protection due to the sides of the case being pretty low and the lip not as pronounced as the Defender.
The reviews on Amazon for the Note 8 rugged case had some bad reviews about screens shattering from falls.
Which would you trust for protection more? The Defender to me feels a lot more protective.
The defender is definitely a bit more protective but you're still going to run into problems if the phone happens to land on the exposed edges of the infinity display. A tempered glass will help of course but the curved screen is inherently more vulnerable than a flat one and that's just how it is.

The otterbox is great, but it is way too thicker to me.
I don't use the belt clip.
I got one free from a company, satisfied.

I will add holding the Defender makes it easier to grip the phone and type faster too. Being used to that case for years and trying the Samsung case which is thin felt really awkward to type with.

I agree. Now if the Note 9 was designed like the Note 5 and earlier that was wider this wouldn't be an issue with the rugged case but these narrow phones I need a thick case like the Defender, or Monarch. The ArmadilloTek case is thinner bit still makes it fairly easy to use the phone.
I considered the defender but opted out, seemed to bulky for me. Coming from the spigen thin fit I new I needed a bit mode protection and found it with the commuter. Otterbox nailed it with this one. Feel is excellent.

I appreciate Samsung making the N9 display just a tiny bit wider than the N8 but still, I'd prefer the dimensions of the N5 or just something more wider than what we have now.
Already have a sandstone feel case from Krusell, which I love. Although they also have a leather case also, it seems too bulky. This being the most expenaive phone I ever bought I want the cases to feel nice in the hand, not rubbery or plasticky. Tried a dbrand skin, but I still felt anxious every time I layed the phone down and would place it ever so gently.
So, anyone got some leather or fabric cases they had nice experience with?
fitbag, amazon, best ones, comes in leather and fabic and I have used both, awesome.
Agree, look at fitbag...
dont spend $25 on fitbag, use an oakley sunglasses sleeve for like $6 and it is the exact same thing

But what about the difference in THICKNESS? The sleeve for my Oakley's are quite thin and don't offer much protection. The fitbag's, on the other hand, don't seem to be in stock so I can't even test the differences yet.
I have a canvas case, it feels very good.
In absence of the official alcantara case I spent hours looking for a leather case, found krusell and ordered leather and sandstone, now waiting for them to arrive... Looks like screen is not protected though in both.. Was hoping the leather krusell was a good replacement so shame to read it is bulky.
Fitbag look nice but rather not have a sleeve case as tend to use my phone a lot and don't want to remove it every time with 2 hands.
Why Samsung don't make premium leather cases like the iPhone cases with a nice small lip at the front I will never understand

After I bought the sandstone from krusell, I also bought their leather one. Don't know if mine was defective or not, but the band that's glued on the margines of the case came off on one side. It's a real shame, cause it really felt great in the hand. I'm still considering if I should give it another shot and buy one more.

I saw someone else on amazon Germany had that issue too, if its a design fault it should be covered under their lifetime warranty

Why did you stop using the sandstone case? I see it has no screen lip whatsoever which is one downside..

I didn't stop. I use(d) both. The sandstone is really thin and has a nice grip. The lack of a lip is not an issue for me, since I never put the phone screen down.
Thanks.. Look forward to receiving mine, I don't want to install a screen protector as they all seem to have issues so a small lip would be great
If the leather case has the same issue you have I'll be claiming on warranty

Just to update you. I bought another leather case from Krusell. And this one feel just as great as the first one but it feels alot more solid. I see no deterioration as the first one had.

Thanks. I received mine too, although have stuck with the sandstone case as prefer the slimline fit and how grippy it is. Leather case from krussel I find quite slippy in the hand.
