Interest in seeing/reading about Diztronic TPU case?

**teebeezey** · 07-06-2012, 03:50 PM

I ordered the Diztronic matte black TPU case for my Pebble Blue 16gb S3, and it came in today. First impression: seems worth it for $9, but the sides don't lay completely flat against the phone... they sort of bow out slightly. If anyone has any interest in seeing pics or reading a more thorough review on it, I'd be happy to oblige.

Well that stinks. This was going to be the daily driver for my wife's GSIII. The Diztronic I had for my GNex fit nice & tight. That was with the extended battery however.

I ordered 2 clear & 1 black. I'll try all three out when we get the phones early next week and see if ours do the same.

I just received my Diztronic "clear" today. Quality seems on par with other TPU cases I've used in the past. Clear was in quotes because this case isn't clear at all, more of a frosted look. You will not be able to see the color of your phone through the case. For $9.90 it seems like a decent deal, just need the phone to put in it now.

Got mine in matte black back today, looks very nice, and much thinner than I expected (good thing). It is head and shoulders above my generic Chinese TPU case for my Droid X from almost 2 years ago! I will have my S3 on Monday, to see how it fits.

I decided to return my "clear" case and go with the matte black.

Does NFC still work with Diztronic cases like this?

**VicVinegar** · 07-07-2012, 09:25 PM

I think I'll be getting one for an initial case while I evaluate reviews for some more expensive models.

Yes it still works fine.

I got the black matte finish, it's nice, not sure how much it would protect with a drop. A little warning, the back is very smooth, it went flying across my seat just making a turn.

Yea. I was gonna ask if anyone else thought the back was a little slick/slippery.

A little slick, but not unbearably so.

Anyone else's case bowing out on the sides a little bit? Wondering if its just this case and I should send back for another one...

Can anyone of you fabulous people post a pic of their matte black diztronic case with a marble white s3?

**teebeezey** · 07-10-2012, 08:05 AM

Sorry, I have the pebble blue or i would!

Amazon has a picture of this setup on their page for the matte black case.

I just received my matte black case and it looks a lot better on the phone than the "clear". All of the openings line up well and the fit is reasonably snug with no bowing on the sides. The finish is smooth which makes for a nice slide in and out of my pocket but might not be the best when it comes to keeping a firm grip in your hand.

I heard that Diztronic was going to make a case specifically for the pebble blue model... more of a blue color to the case... trying to remember where on Amazon I saw that...
If it wasn't for this, I would get the black case... I have it on my Nexus and it is great!

The front of the phone is such a dark shade of blue that you really can't even tell the difference in color unless you're in the right light.

I got the Matte Back Black for my wife's Pebble Blue and the Matte Back Clear for my White. Both look & feel great and there is no bowing on the sides. Nice & tight.

I ordered one of those blue Diztronic cases Tuesday. Hopefully I'll get it soon.

I also just read on another forum (gasp!) that Verizon has a glossy dark blue TPU case available for the SGS3. I'll go look into it tomorrow since the case appears to cover all the buttons, whereas the Diztronic case doesn't. But at $20 I don't think it will be worth it...

I bought the Diztronic matte clear(frost not clear)and it fits great around the whole phone except the right side does not hug the phone to well.Bows out.I'm fairly happy with the case except the right side fitment and i wish it was actually see through clear.My friend bought the same one and his fits perfect. They do need to make a gloss pebble blue case!!!

**Worlds2See** · 07-12-2012, 07:47 AM

Does anybody know if there is a compatible cradle or dock that can be used with the case still on? I ordered the matte black one.

I see the blue one also just launched. If I like the black one I may spring for the blue as well.

Also are the Tectile tags readable with the case on?

Thanks!

I bought the Blue TPU case today at a Verizon COR store. It's a nice inexpensive case for $20 and the color goes very well with my blue GS3. It matches it almost perfectly.

I say go check it out in person. They have it in Blue, White and Purple. I think it was worth the money. Plus I didn't have to wait for it to be shipped from online.

Next I got a 3 pack of clear screen protecters at a Sprint store. Seems like Sprint was the only store selling clear. All the other stores were only selling anti-glare.

Ironic buying a Verizon case for my AT&T phone.

Do you mean sticking up a little on the front? If that's what you mean, I think it's intended to keep the front screen protected while putting the phone faced down. If you mean making the phone look wider, you should probably seek a replacement.

I mean making the phone look wider... Considering sending for a replacement but trying to decide if it is actually worth the hassle.

**liteon163** · 07-13-2012, 06:21 PM

Can an owner of a Diztronic case please speak to how well protected the power and volume buttons are, specifically does the case's thickness help avoid accidental presses?

I'm not really digging the idea of having a case without covered buttons. I've had my SGS3 in a TPU case since I got it and it covers the buttons. I've gotten to like it that way. And the buttons seem really sensitive when I have the phone out to switch between cases.

Thanks

I had the same issue - the left side would lie flat, while the right side bowed outward. Nothing that I would keep it for so I returned it to Amazon.
