Just got in this bumper from ebay: White/Black TPU Silicone Bumper Frame Case for Samsung Galaxy S III 3 S3 i9300 | eBay

Thought for less than $3, what the hell. Its about what you would expect for $2.87 although it could be much worse. If it fit just a hair tighter it would be a pretty cool bumper. It would protect the edges and phone from light damage but I wouldn't count on it for much more than that. Considering the back battery cover of the S3 is pretty cheap, if you are looking for minimal protection a bumper is a good idea in my opinion.

Pros:
-TPU material so no signal degradation
-Super cheap
-Covers the corners from scuffs and maybe small drops
-Buttons have a nice feel and are protected

Cons:
-Fits a little loose
-One of the corners is unprotected
-"creaks" a little, hard to explain

For less than $3 its not bad. If you want something cheap just to mix it up then its a good idea. I personally purchased this as I am experimenting with the idea of a bumper case as I have never owned one despite my 30,000 phones. I am strongly considering the Draco bumper despite its absurd price (yes I am out of my mind) because I think it just looks absolutely amazing. That said I ordered a cheap aluminum bumper as well to see what kind of signal drops I can see throughout my day. If anyone is curious I can post a quick little review for it too.
