Default Otterbox Defender vs. Case Mate Glam vs. SGP Folio

These are my selection or these are the only galaxy s3 cases that I can find.

http://www.otterbox.com/Samsung-Gala...efault,pd.html

I know that Otterbox is well known for cases, but their cases are too bulky.

http://www.case-mate.com/Samsung-Gal...Glam-Cases.asp

Case mate case has a nice design, but it doesn't seem like it covers the edge of the front.

Nice covering the front side, but not sure if I want the case covers both front and back.


Please pick one or reply other choices.
Samsung Galaxy S2 ->
Verizon Galaxy S3



XDA peops are the best!!

Geesh, get the one that meets your needs. You could as well have asked us if you should buy a car, a bike or a helicopter. The cases you listed are completely different in what they are made for. (one for abuse, one for looks, one for versatility)

I would check out otterbox's commuter series. Not as bullet proof as the defender but it has a slimmer profile. I had one on my gs1 and dropped it all the time without any repercussions.

There are people like me who care about what their phone can do, but the looks, not so much. Not that most people will pay the 40 and up MSRP on some of these cases as they can usually be had in the mid 20s price point for careful shoppers. If you are as hard on phones as I am thats 20 odd bucks well spent.

To the OP, as stated above these cases are not even designed with the same purpose in mind, it would be easier to get good suggestions if you stated what it is you are wanting to get out of your case.
