Incipio VCSA-304 Carrying Case for Smartphones - Retail Packaging

This case is the cream of the crop! I have been an Otterbox fan for a few years now, have them on multiple of my devices both past and present but after giving this case a shot (only because the Otterbox was not yet out for my Galaxy S III at the time) I am no longer! The GS3 is a very sleek, sexy phone and while it was very important for me to ensure it was safe in the event I dropped it I also wanted to preserve it's sexy at the same time. Otterbox cases have a way of making your devices big and bulky and don't do anything at all to enhance it's sexy, this case does the opposite! The silicone sleeve fits securely, the cut outs are all very precisely placed and allow unobstructed use and operation of them and the things they're for. The polycarbonate shell snaps on easily, yet securely to give you that double layer of protection and it has a feel and look that is extremely close to that of the silicone sleeve. So close that many won't be able to tell the difference between the two if they didn't already know it was infact a 2 piece case. The biggest surprise here though is that the case actually accentuated the sexy of the phone! With it's precision build quality, texture, surprisingly minimal bulk, and it's very refined and "finished" look, this case is nearly perfect.But i'm no fanboy, there are some things I'd like to see improved upon. First, I'd like to see some plugs or covers integrated into the case to cover and protect the headphone jack and charger port when they are not in use. Keeping dust, dirt and other contaminants out of there would lovely. Most of us keep our phones in our pocket so lint, dust, crumbs, etc., all build up in there and with these ports being exposed can allow that stuff to get where it shouldn't be, inside the phone. I would also like if they would somehow make the case a bit more grippy. The shell feels very good in the hand but it doesn't lend itself to good grip.....it kind of feels as if it's covered in baby powder. Not because you get that powdery residue all over your hands when you hold it cause you don't, but it's that same silky smooth feel. During use it's that shell that most of us need to provide the grip needed to use the phone and with this case you just have to be a bit more careful to ensure you've got a good grip on it. I knew about the lack of covered ports when I bought it, didn't know about the texture/feel of the shell so that would be the only thing that takes away points from this case. Fix those two things and this will be the perfect case!

PROS:I researched tons of different cases and just got this Incipio SA-303 pink one on behalf of the owner of my company. It fits and looks great on her white Galaxy S III. She likes it a lot better than the all-black CrazyOnDigital Armor Case that I got her when I picked up the phone, which was the best case the Verizon store had in stock that day.The Incipio SA-303 is less bulky than the other case. The corners are hard, and the pink silicone on the sides adds grip to the phone's edges where the other case didn't. (On the other case the corners were silicone and the edges were hard.) The buttons can be pressed through the silicone on this case with just the right amount of pressure, which is slightly more than having nothing at all, making accidental presses less likely, yet not so much that you feel like you're having to really press hard. Since the owner is very careful with her phones and puts them in a separate pocket of her purse, we didn't try the screen protector that was included with this case.The pink silicone makes this case stylish for a female compared to the all-black case she had. But this pink isn't too much of a "hot" pink, and unlike some other cases it doesn't have so much color on it that it looks gaudy and unprofessional for a business woman to carry around.(Possible) CONS:Some people may think the silicone edges aren't tight enough, may roll up your screen protector if the edges slip, and may attract lint or be harder to slide into and out of a pocket. I thought the edges were tight enough, and my owner doesn't use a screen protector or put her phone in her pocket. So those are moot points I can't comment on. The one thing *I* don't like is that the case doesn't have a kickstand - I think all cases should have them. But I know they're less common on "girly" cases and the owner probably wouldn't use it anyway. So it was perfect for her, was well-packaged, and it was exactly what I expected to get when I ordered it. So I won't even take off a single star, and I'm in the 99th percentile on the picky scale.

Very Happy with this Incipio shell, very nite and stylish while the phone is well protected. Will recommend as a must buy for any Samsung S3 holder

I bought this for 10 dollars and i have absolutely no problems with it. What you pay for is not what you get when it comes to this because you get way more than what you payed for. The design is sleek and slim, I wanted a case that provided protection but was not to bulky like an Otterbox and this delivered. The only con I have is that it will attract dust and lint if put in your pocket but that is to be expected

One of the best cases out there for the SIII I have seen/used. Provides amazing protection close to Otterbox, but still have the same sensations with the buttons as stock. Like the case isn't there.Highly recommended. In fact, 3 other people have already ordered this after trying mine.

Just received this for my Samsung S III.Fits well. Nice and thin, not bulky like other 2 layer / hybrid cases out there.Like that it's got a grippy back surface to it, not slippery like other cases out there.The included screen protector goes on well but is not really large enough to cover the whole screen; while it's not a factor while in the case for the sides; the top is cut out in a large rectangle opening for the ear piece speaker and camera.

Love the combo of soft rubber and hard plastic, feels very secure. Not too sticky coming in and out of pockets, and feels like it has lots of protection
