Anyone have any of the SUPCASE Cases?

I am looking at the

Unicorn Beetle Premium Hybrid Protective Case (Frost Clear/Gray)
http://www.amazon.com/SUPCASE-LG-G3...TF8&qid=1407151419&sr=8-7&keywords=lg+g3+case

Unicorn Beetle PRO Series Full-body Hybrid Protective Case
http://www.amazon.com/SUPCASE-Case-...TF8&qid=1407161034&sr=1-4&keywords=lg+g3+case


I have the Spigen Slim Armor now but its too slippery and the back scratches easily.

The bigger cut outs of the back buttons on the SUPCASE look like they would be better then how the SlimArmor is setup.

Can any provide any pictures of theres and how they like it? Or if they bought one but ended up not liking it and getting something else?

I received the first one you mention on Friday (clear/black) and I love it.
The fit is tight and the cut outs are perfect. It keeps the phone pretty slim and looks great with the clear back.
I had a similar case for my galaxy s4 from poetic and it was just a great look for me.
If you're rough with your phone and it gets banged around alot or dropped alot, then this might not be for you.
It offers average protection, which is good for me 90% of the time as I work in an office or I'm in my car.
For slightly better protection I bought the verus iron shield which I should be receiving today and am very excited about.
It also looks great and will protect my g3 a little better on the weekends.
Anyway, I do highly recommend the supcase after a few short days and the price is pretty good too.
As far as pics, the ones on amazon do it justice.
Hope this helps. There are many good cases and you won't do wrong with any of them.

Thanks for the input.I was looking at the Versus Thor case also but some reviews said it affects signal. And the back button cut out on is tight like on the slim armor and that kinda bothers me..The supcase button cuts are larger which i think would be better

I'll let you know about the verus as I'll have it this afternoon.
I read the same about signal but I also read in more places that it wasn't true.
The video reviews on youtube really sold it for me an hopefully I like it as much as I think I will.
Take it easy.

I have the first one and agree with bkrickels.

I might prefer something a little thinner, but this certainly isn't bulky. No complaints on the back buttons with this.

Definitely no issue with signal. I can keep a call up every time driving on this one road that my GS3 dropped the call on every time.

I do hope Qi works through this case. I'll probably know that next week when my sticker comes.

Back button complaint was on the Verus Case and my slim armor..signal issues was geared towards reviews on the Verus case

I got the Unicorn Beetle and so far I like it. It has a good feel in your hands but it does add some bulk to the rear of the phone. It is a somewhat thick case and does add some mm onto the phone and weight.

I forget how much it does so until I remove the case and feel how light and thin the G3 actually is.

It does offer some great protection and this case WILL NOT bounce or fall apart during a fall or impact. The G3 fits impressively nice and snug in its case.

It is a PITA to remove the phone though, this thing is practically cemented in but once you know how to get it off, but just doesn't take as long but still is hard to do so.

It does come with a built in screen protector but I didn't need it because I had a tempered glass one installed. So I removed it and then had to spend half an hour removing all the glue that was holding it in place. The damn protector just pops out and leaves ALL its glue and adhesive on the inside of the front section of the case.

I used Goo Gone, thinner, hot water and soap and I still had to scrub it off. What a PITA...

But, I need a rough and tumble case for my job and the Unicorn does it.

Just be forewarned, it does add a bit of bulk and weight to the phone but it feels good holding it and! It has its corners notched off, giving it a Galactica prop like effect. :cool:

Thanks for the info..This Unicorn Beetle PRO Serie is case I am leaning towards..On my past phones Glaxay Nexus and Note 2 i used Otterbox defender and Seidio cases. So I would assume this adds about the same bulk.

Do you have any pics of the phone in the case or side by side to how much bulk it does add?

Also curious if the back scratches easy or holds up well.

I have a glass protector also so id be removing the bultin one

I just got my G3 on Friday and the first thing I did was go on Amazon and order the Clear/Black Supcase and temepered glass screen protector. They really make the best slim TPU style case. Nice and tight fitting, never had to worry about the material stretching on your like other TPU style cases. If there is a Supcase for my device im running it plus tempered glass and im good! Can't go wrong with it.

I'm rocking the Hybrid Case and love it. I've been an exclusive Spigen customer for years but their case had that cutout which turned me away. This Supcase has the same protection level and looks just as good. The clear back keeps the phones sharp look too. Highly recommend!

I have the first one in gray/clear on my white G3. Looks good. Good protection. Have to agree on earlier post that it is difficult to remove phone from.

I have one but found the straight edges make it a little uncomfortable to hold. I've gone back to the ultra slim gel case from eBay for about 2.99 feels great and noticeably lighter.

i have the slim sup case.

I like how tight fit it is, even though sides are soft, because fit is so tight, it doesn't move at all. really good case

i don't like how the back is so slippery.

try the Digtronic one too.. I'm tempted to order that one as a backup case.

I have the first case you posted in clear with Gray edges. It looks great on my white phone. My only complaint is that the cut outs on the bottom are uncomfortable. When I am playing with my phone for a while. They irritate my pinkie.
