Samsung Galaxy S3 - Cases Review Roundup #3

2012-07-09
all right what's going on everyone this is clay humor coming at you from the number one website for all things android android authority calm now i know a lot of you guys have been itching for more case reviews for the samsung galaxy s3 so we're here to deliver okay so we've got four more cases coming at you today we'll start off by just introducing all of them this one actually came from samsung with one of the devices i'm going to be using it on the white model this is this replacement backing with a little off flip cover that you can put over the front if you're not using the device we've got a cruiser light case with a nice little Andy on the back got two unbranded cases but will have their names and links in the description this one's got to stand and then here's a little flip pouch holster somewhat leather and it's pretty cool so let's get into reviewing these cases of course as always we're going to be looking for ease of button accessibility protection and of course physique so let's start off with our white model galaxy s3 this is our sprint version I'm just going to take the backing off of this one and apply the new backing so we'll just peel this off awesome that the galaxy s3's all have interchangeable backings and will simply pop this one on goes on just like the other backings as you can see nice tight fit nice along the edges and then we cannot flip the cover closed just like that so it's pretty cool the cover does tend to kind of sit a little bit off the body like that but that's alright we've got nice protection we have access to our speaker up here can easily hit our power button and then when this is folded open we can have access to our volume buttons now I'm a little worried about how strong this might be if you just pull on this a little but it is nice and it's a you know it's a replacement backing so if you want to keep the nice physique of your uncased galaxy s3 with a nice white backing but still have protection for your screen I suggest checking this one out go ahead and take this one off reapply our backing and try some other cases now of course you can put this on the pebble blue and you'll have a blue and white version which you know might appeal to some but you know that's not really what we're going for go to pop the backing on this again next we'll try out our white stand case here as you can see this is somewhat of a rigid material that kind of just pops back into place and then you can bend it out for a nice standout utility but we'll slide this one on our white galaxy s3 first off you can see it fits nice it does provide a raised edge case the galaxy s3 false face down and we do have a raised edge here on the back for the stand we have all our cutouts perfect cut out for our volume or mikes and our micro USB power buttons are pretty easy to hit on this one and same with the volume and then we can just grab this little portion pull it out whoop and we have a stand for a galaxy s3 and we can set it up this way as well for watching media or a nice desk clock application will try this one out on our pebble blue version as well just to show you what it would look like in case you own the pebble blue version pop it on here and i'll leave the stand out so the pebble blue does still look nice with a white case on there and we can see our galaxy s3 if we're really looking right there again our stand both ways and then we can retract the stand and have a nice regular case with some added protection in the back in case it were to fall so anyways we'll go on to our next one this here is our leather pouch case it's kind of woven like uh some carbon fiber on there of course we have our cutouts we have some leather on the inside this one's going to provide some nice protection we'll put our pebble blue in there just because it matches a little better and we can flip the top latch it on we've got our LED speaker and camera access our power buttons and volume buttons are uncovered so we have ease of access pressing those we have access to our 3.5 millimeter headphone jack our micro USB is covered on the bottom but that could be a benefit for some just so dust and bear doesn't get in there flip this open and unlike some of the previous cases we've reviewed this does just hurry up and fit nicely right there it's not a hindering your mobility or your use of the galaxy s3 by bending and not really fitting on there nicely is back to back it's nice and flat and then we can use our galaxy s3 show you how this looks on the white case as well white phone excuse me here we go it's on a white phone looks nice on there of course the cutouts are all the same and it does provide some protection of course if it were to fall face down more back down so we'll take this one off on a failed to previously mention all these cases are very easy to take off and put on all right so last up we've got our cruzerlite case for the galaxy s3 this one's one of our most popular brands that one seems to like the cruiser light I know I do it's got our nice and you design on the back and it isn't in green color so I don't know how many people will take to the fact that it's green on white or green on blue but we'll pop down on a white one first just to show it fits on nicely you can see that it's kind of having a little bit of trouble trouble getting over this edge but it still fits nice and the cutouts aren't necessarily in the correct place as you can see the little speaker is someone in the upper left and so so is the LED and then the 3.5 millimeter headphone jack is a little bit to the left as well we do have some air bubbles in there too but it's still a really nice case it's going to protect a facedown damage and everything has a nice access to our power buttons and our volume buttons micro USB and the microphones as well and it looks pretty cool especially a little android on the back and I love that next we'll pop our pebble blue in there so it looks a little better with the green ma SE just because they're both darker colors and this has less air bubbles in the back it also seems to 50 cutouts just a little bit better as well now keep in mind guys I have a zagg invisible shield installed on one of my other galaxy s3's and when I pop this case on it sort of lifts the corners of the of the invisible shield so be aware of that you guys you know I know it's a hefty investment to get that invisible shield and it's a shame that a lot of these manufacturers are making their case is compatible but hey they all want your competition they'll want your money and you got to just choose one anyways you can install this nicely with the zagg invisible shield and it does look fine on both of the galaxy s3's so that was our four cases you guys go ahead and pick one up if you're looking for protection for your samsung galaxy s3 also sure to check out our other case reviews that we got two other videos regarding cases for the galaxy s3 and stay tuned
