I haven't found one. I emailed them to see if they're going to make a black case and haven't heard back yet.

It looks like the seidio active case gives better protection but doesn't look as good to me. Hard choice.

Yeah, it will be hard choice. Seems like I remember seeing a Seidio and if I remember correctly, the kickstand was flimsy in that it was loose. I think the stand is metal, but loose and not spring loaded or anything. Honestly though, I cannot remember enough about it to go one way or the other.

I made a comment earlier in this thread about getting to cheap of a case .... I had mentioned that $3 was a little cheap when talking about a $200 phone ( not to mention such a big part of out lives now ).
In my mind I was thinking $10-$20 maybe $25. Then I look at the case-mate link provided above and they have a $40 case with no kick stand .... WTF is that about ? I

The $35 case mate one has a kickstand.

Here is a little more info on the Seidio kickstand case. It's on an S2, but shows the case nicely.

For $35 the kick stand better be made of silver .... There is one on the site for $40 its called brushed aluminium.

I'm gonna get a tpu case to start out and then look for a kick stand that gets really good reviews from the AC membership after the phones arrive and have been tests out.

Any personal feelings on the belt clip ?

**Forgetful** · 06-24-2012, 04:10 PM

A guy on xda had good things to say about the case mate kickstand case. But every online review has commented on how flimsy the kickstand is. IDK, for 35 bucks it better be nice.

This case feels great. Obviously I don't have the phone yet but I can definitely tell it will be a perfect fit and it doesn't feel cheap. The sides of the case is tpu.

I didn't know this case has a belt clip... Did I miss something?

I'm pretty sure that on that youtube review that was posted in the link the reviewer stated that there was also a belt clip that you could buy. He then said that it would be cheaper if ordered in the bundle.

Ok, gotcha. Must have missed that part. I'm a pocket carrier. No belt clips for me.

**spun2u** · 06-24-2012, 10:32 PM

Is it safe to assume that the Verizon SGH-I535 is the same size as the other overseas versions GT-I9300, etc..

I see some cases online but they list only Samsung I9300. I've been burned by buying a extended battery for my Nexus only to find out it was for the non-CDMA version.

EDIT: According to the wikipedia page for the GS3 all versions are the same Dimensions.

I'm a pocket carrier also, but I do have a few situations at work where a clip would be good .... If at the right price point ... However if members said it was prime to falling out deal off ...

Phil said that they are all the same in one of the reviews.

**rage151** · 06-28-2012, 08:39 PM

Found another. It's a hard case (I'm partial to TPU)...

**kiwiguy99** · 06-29-2012, 07:37 PM

Heres another one that looks pretty sturdy for only $15 - Amzer - and it has received a couple of good reviews. It looks like you can tap on the screen and not worry about the stand falling over.

I think I like this case. Looks really sturdy and dependable. Might be a little bulky though. Wish there was more pictures of it...

**Failure2Comply** · 06-30-2012, 08:28 AM

Here is a fairly inexpensive case with kickstand.

The CrazyOnDigital TRAVELER at Amazon looks to be a holster with belt clip - no kickstand.

This will be the case for me. There cases are well build, and I've never had a problem with one.

you can preorder the black one now with an estimated ship date of 7/3. other colors have no exact info yet.

**PJnc284** · 07-02-2012, 09:00 AM

Here's the same case/holster combo offered by Verizon but for $20 less.

Does the verizon one have the same texture on the back? I have not seen the verizon one for the s3, but on my rezound, the back texture is different than what is shown in the picture. Also, even if it is the same, it could be from a batch that didn't pass qc and was sold to a third party tor cheap. I would be more inclined to buy it if it were sold from a large proven reputable seller.
