    Excellent case with minor complaints
  

*by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2012*

I've had this case for a couple weeks now and am not regetting it. It fits very snuggly, has a high lip on the forward side so it can be placed face down, and is two-layered with a hard shell and rubber interior. Very solid construction and all the cutout line up to the buttons and ports.If I could, I'd give this product a 4 1/2 star review for the following reasons:- Installation wasn't completely issue-free. My brother has a blue GS3 and the same case. His installed with no problems and his buttons had flawless action. My white GS3 on the other hand had an issue with the power button getting stuck in the case. After multiple re-installs and swapping different shells and rubber inlays between our phones, the only way to fix it was the swap the entire case assembly (his shell/inlay combo on my phone). After that, things were fine. I feel it might be a problem contributed by both the case manufacturing and Samsung's manufacturing. With no cases on, I could feel that the action for the power button was bigger on the blue version of the phone. The white one seemed to require less force and actuation to press it down. This case really accentuated this difference and I couldn't get it to line up right. The fact that swapping case/inlays fixed the problem means both cases have some small deviations from nominal dimensions.- The plastic shell for this case doesn't have a great grip. It has a textured surface which helps when holding in your hand (better than holding a naked phone) but it is a harder material than the rubber inlay. Because of this,  parts of it will slide around a bit if you put it on a hard, smooth surface. If I were to re-design this case, I would put a few large protrusions on the rubber case that sticks out of cut-outs in the plastic shell so that the rubber can make contact with tables.

    Loven it

Had the first generation Galaxy phone with a casemate tough case for 2 years. Been droop many times from different heights with no damage to the phone or case. Looked around for other cases to see if something new or better had come out for the Galaxy S3, nope this is still the best case out there.-Pros-The fit is great they changed the design a bit but same overall look as the earlier model.-Highly recommend this case to people who want a case that does protect there phone but is not so thick and huge that it sucks to have on all the time.-Yes there are cases that protect your phone more but to me this strikes a good balance. All ready dropped my phone once and it bounce along just fine with out any damage.-Cons (being very picky)The edge of the hard case comes up higher on the sides which sounds good but will reduce the bounce when dropped face down. The older style had more soft rubber around the face which let it bounce when dropped. There is still plenty a rubber to protect the phone just the ratio of hard and soft has changed on the face, not sure if this is a good thing or bad. Only know that more soft rubber had no issues protecting my old phone.-Not a con of the case but more of using this phone with any wrap around case and the S3. The home button is down at the bottom of the phone, so much so that with this case or others the case bumper gets in the way of pressing the button from certain angles. The good thing is this could easily be fixed by snipping the little bit if rubber below the home button/above the charging port. I have not done this yet, want to see how bad it bothers me over time.

    Good case, one big problem.
  

*by T***O on Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2012*

Just got the case. Immediate things I love and dislike about it.Pros:1. Won't slip out of your hand anymore. The S3 is kind of slick, but not that much. However, there's no worries anymore with this case with its nice textured grip.2. Snug like a glove. Fits pretty well. Had to jiggle it to get the rubber volume buttons through the hard shell hole. Still getting it the way I want it, but for most areas around the case you can't notice where the hard shell begins and where it meets the rubber shell. Impressive.3. For the quality, I really love how much I paid for it. Seems like a fair price, and it does feel sturdy.Con:1. This one I am REALLY WORRIED ABOUT and hope it won't be what makes me hate the case. But the rubber power button STICKS OUT WAY TOO MUCH. I mean by a lot too. It most likely is my specific case, because it's pretty obnoxious how far it sticks out. I'm worried it's going to get pushed, causing my phone to turn on constantly throughout the day, which of course is kind of a big problem for battery, since if it gets turned on and starts rubbing against stuff in my pocket, the ripple effect will keep getting activated on the lock screen, keeping it on. But maybe not. We will see. As of now, it's enough for me to knock off a star.
