I purchased a legit Triobump before I had the S III in my hands after seeing pictures online. I liked the fact that it didn't hide the case, so you could see the color of the phone. After trying it out on a co-workers phone, I didn't like it. The buttons are hard to press and I had to use an exacto knife to cut away some ofthe plastic from the power button as sliding it into the Triobump would instantly turn the phone off as soon as I slide the phone into the case. It was pressing the power button. I also didn’t like that it added a budge to thephone making it a bit more difficult to pocket.
I bought about 12 other cases as they were cheap and I wanted to trydifferent styles. Red being my favorite it color, it was difficult finding a true red because the pictures displayed on eBay, Amazon, etc that claimed to be red, but ended up being more of a darker blood red in person.
I've attached a pictures of my current collection of cases (Triobump not pictured).
The winner is the iFace First Class Series TPU case. I purchased it from here: http://www.eforchina.com/v/111744 for $3.14 shipped. It’s $4.99 on eBay.
In the image, the iFace is shown being super flexible, but in person, it's very form fitting.
The issue I had with the CruzerLite is that it was not tight around the center of the phone. So, it had flex/play and the outer bezel around the phone was exposed. You can easily squeeze the case and it would flex.
This is not the case with the $3 iFace. The picture from the eForChina doesn't do it justice as it is a very clean, low profile and well designed product. It's also a true red! See my avatar to see why red is my favorite color. The phone is protected all around the front and rear without a cheap flexing feeling. It’s a piece of cake to remove for battery swappers.
The case ads almost no bulk to the phone, but will easily protect it from a drop on all for corners, back and even front since most of the cheaper "back cases" that only cover the rear don't provide protection to the top and bottom of the phone (like the black one and the clear one). I can easily slide my finger across the entire screen without bumping into the case preventing me from tapping or scrolling on the extreme ends of the screen.
I didn't end up using the other "back cases" because black would show finger prints, the clear one collected pocket lint and micro-scratches are extremely visible.
I only wish the iFace print wasn't on the back of the case. Other than that minor gripe, I love it.
I've ordered the other colors they have available; blue, yellow and black to change it up.
