Naked?

[sixty_four]

I've got the Rock Quicksand. I got the light gray and it looks good with my white S3. It doesn't look like it will do much in terms of drop protection, but it does look like it'll work to prevent damage from normal day-to-day use. The front bezel is raised enough to keep the screen clear of flat surfaces. The camera cutout has a subtly raised lip and protects the lens cover similarly. It's a slim case and has a nice texture that improves grip.

I had a matte black Diztronic TPU case and while that was more protective, it was a little too slippery for me. I also didn't like how the lip of the case around the bezel (esp near the volume rockers) would flop around and feel like a loose bit of rubberband.

For me, the Rock Quicksand is a good compromise between protection and sleekness.

I have 7 different cases (to fit my mood). Today I have the feather ultra-light hard shell by Incipio on (no bulk whatsoever and pretty great protection). Well, I dropped it not once but TWICE (once on elevator floor and second on concrete) and sadly, got my 1st ding (had my phone since July 9th). I have no idea how it happened but I dented the metal right on top of the charge port opening (can only see it when trying to connect the charger so that's a +)?! Trying to "embrace" the ding as a "character flaw," but as one could imagine from having 7 cases, I suppose I am kinda neurotic about my devices. lol. But the case saved me from possible greater destruction at no bulk expense. Never go NAKED!

To OP of this thread...

This is the thinnest case made for the GS3 period!!!
I like naked phones and this case is great in my opinion. If you want your phone protected from scratches, scuffs and light drops, this case is awesome...

I don't use a case. I'm pretty careful with my phones though. I will eventually put an OB Commuter on it.

I'm on my 5th gen Android, and I've never had a case for any of them. The only phone I've ever put a case on is my BB 9930, but it's a work phone.

The case is getting really discolored. It's much darker than the photo shows.

I'm trying to go without a case and see how I like it. So far I prefer it.

I didn't want a cover but its just too damn slippery. So I got a cruzerlite case which still keeps it thin and light but gives it some grip. Just enough to not slip off my couch.

What would be cool though is if the made a back cover that had some non-slip material. I wouldn't mind one.

 

[johnnyshinta]

I'm agree it is slippery. But it is more comfortable.

Got the flip case cos I wanted to give the screen some protection without adding bulk...does that count as naked?

This is a family friendly environment. No nudity only the OB Defender case.

all my cases and battery covers on multiple androids have discoloured (looks almost like theyve been burned) around the back top corner (flash side on the s3) and thats the part i touch least. any ideas anyone?

EDIT: just realised while typing, i hold my cigarette directly under that spot lol DUH!! :banghead:

i use this one at home:

check out the price, delivery and a crap (unused) screen protector included
total bargain, fits snugly and feels great in the hand.
wouldnt recomend it for pocket use (too sticky)

i use this for pocket:

I go naked while in the house. It's carpeted and less like to break other than that I either keep the other box on or this slim case I bought from inside the mall

 

[smithe68]

Both my wife and I are using Case Mate covers on ours. It barely adds any bulk, can set the phone screen side, or back side without touching screen or camera. https://forums.androidcentral.com/e...laxy-S3-Barely-There-Cases.asp&token=WjOH-0yD

if you were to place your naked g3 on a table, would the table hit the camera glass?
has this scratched the camera before?
i love the naked look but thinking about a case also..

 

[cgardnervt]

I rolled my naked for the first month or so with no problem. I'm sure I got a few scratches on the back cover....But nothing I am worried about! Just do not drop it! You may cry. You have been warned!

Over the years every time I buy a case I use it for a couple of weeks then snatch it off. I have never found a case I like good enough to use every day so I usually just go naked.

I use an Otterbox defender, better safe than sorry. I got this phone back in the middle of June before there were many cases, and I found that naked, it was just too slippery. I'm not clumsy by any means, but I wear basketball shorts, and typical Adidas/Nike workout pants a lot and there's no guarantee that the phone won't slip out of my pockets on its own. Also I got a small scratch on my screen when I was going naked. It's hardly noticeable, and I really have to look for it even still, but it's annoying knowing it's there.

I would love to go Naked with this device but I feel with the slippery plastic that I would drop it. I am using an elago Slim Fit case. Same concept as the Barely There case by Case-Mate but has a more solid build.
