It's tight enough that it would be darn near impossible to fall out of the case

If these weren't 35 I'd definitely order one right now

It looks like the iPhone version that retails for $35 are around $23 on Amazon; I'm sure if you wait a few months. The s3 cases will be closer to that range if they're popular.
Man, that black looks great too. Somebody post a blue s3 in the orange one so I can make up my mind!
Wondering how easy is it to get the phone in and out of the case? I change batteries often so that's quite an issue.
But I'm not looking for a case that is so easy to take off the phone pops out in a fall either.
The Neo Hybrid, while thin and soft, is quite hard to take off - plus it tends to pop the back battery cover with it when it does come off.
IMHO the Incipio Faxion (my current fave) strikes a good balance between secure fit and ease of removal - hopefully the UG is similar.

I'm gonna give it some time and if they don't drop in price I'm sure I'll just pay $35 for it

I've taken the case off three times and it has removed the battery cover once. This can easily be dealt with by removing it from the bottom of the phone first. Compared to the Neo Hybrid, more force is required to remove it so it could get annoying if you're constantly switching batteries. Putting the phone in is definitely easier than the neo hybrid because everything aligns perfectly the first time.

Didn't know the black was matte, probably would have ordered that one instead of the white.
Went with the white for the stormtrooper look.

If you haven't gotten it yet, the white looks pretty nice. I'll post pictures tomorrow if you don't get it by then. Most of my previous mobile electronics have been black with black accessories, so why not branch out?
EDIT: I don't feel as bad about spending the $35 now; my girlfriend just bought herself a $38 piece of crap (in my opinion) case from J. Crew for her iPhone.

I am in Hong Kong and the seller on amazon seems to ship to HK for $10 USD. $45 USD for this case is a bit steep. might wait a bit and wait for them to crop up on ebay.
Here are a few pictures I took of the case in its package. They were taken with a crappy Blackberry camera that I'm using temporarily until I receive the S3 today, so I'm not going to bother taking more detailed shots until I have access to a better camera.

I have the black one but want to get the orange or white one next. Which of the two do you think looks best with the pebble blue?

Where did you get that screen protector?
I want one of these around the 20 dollar range, guess I'll have to bite the bullet so I don't have an otterbox like everyone else.
The uag case includes a screen protector.
I got the carbon fiber from icarbons . com

Update (9-16-2012) Here is a link to a great review by Mobile tech.
http://www.mobiletechreview.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Number=43188
Update (8-23-2012): Sorry for the late review but looks like many people beat me to it. I have had the case for a little over a week and I am still very impressed with the quality, design and feel. I don't think there will be any other case on my GS3 besides this one. Its just too nice.
The case doesn't add a lot of thickness and just feels absolutely great in your hands. The side buttons are very easy to press and the volume button has very good grip due to the jagged design the volume button was given. Worked out great the other night while in bed and I grabbed my phone in pitch dark and was easily able to tell which side was up due to the volume button design. A couple of others cases I own I had trouble with this feat.
There was just 2 issues I ran in to at first. First was that my Skinomi screen protector did not last with this case. It started to peel up on the sides due to the cases perfect all around fit. I have not put the screen protector on yet that came with the case but if you happen to already have one on your phone you may have the same issue. The second thing was that the case felt kind of slick when I first received it but after a few days that went away.
I would post pics but there are so many in this thread already that I don't feel it is needed. Overall everyone should buy this case if they like the industrial look and want one of the best cases available for the GS3. Read through the entire thread and you will find some more great in depth reviews with pics.

So I got the all black version today and I am not regretting the purchase. In addition to the case, it comes with a screen protector and cleaning kit.
It is not that bulky of a case and the device is still comfortable to hold in the hands. I'm not going to do drop tests with the case but rest assured that if your device does happen to fall then it will do a very good job of protecting it. The power and volume buttons are covered but they still remain very responsive yet they won't be accidentally pressed while in your pocket (or purse, for the ladies
). Every cutout aligns perfect. The quality of the case is amazing and it will surely last for a while. I don't have a full screen protector currently installed so I can't comment on the compatibility. The case does fit tight so removing it will take a bit more force but nothing that is unacceptable. That's all I can think of atm but feel free to ask any questions and I'll try my best to answer.
Edit: I applied a full screen protector (Realook 3D) and the case is compatible with it.
Here's a thickness comparison between a couple of my slimmer cases. I also have the Diztronic TPU and SGP Modello but it would be redundant to show these since they're similar in thickness to the two I'm about to show.
