I like to just browse around and see what’s new in the accessory world, even though it’s sometimes a bit sad to find that all the new stuff is being released only for new phones. I don’t quite get the logic to be honest, as I for instance see a lot more Galaxy S IIs out there than I see Galaxy S IIIs. Still, the new models get the good stuff, and unfortunately that’s also true for a case I stumbled across from a company I’d never heard of before, Urban Armor Gear.
I’m a big fan of hybrid cases (which are in between soft and hard cases, or a mix of the two), especially if they have a rugged look. That’s exactly what this case is, which doesn’t have a name for the case itself – only the color options. It’s available in white (Navigator), orange (Outland), black (Scout), and pink (Valkyrie), and it kinda looks like a toolbox. The case is entirely one piece, but looks like it consists of multiple pieces, and even has fake screws on the back to give it that rough look. It adds a nice lip to the front 8so the screen never touches any surface it’s lying screen down on), and the rubber like material should provide a lot of protection.
The design definitely isn’t for everyone, but I love cases that actually look like they’ll protect your phone. Unfortunately I don’t have a Galaxy S III, but if I did, one of these would probably already have been in the mail. At $35 it isn’t the most expensive case I’ve seen either, though it’s certainly not as cheap as the $1.30 case I use on my Galaxy S II, which admittedly does the same job and also looks great.

Personally, I wish they had a case for the Galaxy Note…there aren’t that many cases out for the Note…especially rugged/durable cases.
Im not a rugged case fan but this one is kinda special. Id buy it for my S III
I like that cases are moving towards a sleeker appearance. I hate those bulky cases.
i wish they made more case options for my evo lte. i actually thought about getting an iphone because of the selection of cases made for it
For $35, I think it is really cool.
Price is a plus for any case, some of these prices are ridiculous. I get that companies are trying to make a profit but the fact that they want people to pay upwards of $100 for a case is ridiculous. They need to come up with more good cases for cheap, but not so cheap that they break after a week of use. Just an idea and I have a feeling that it would never happen because that wouldn’t be good business.
that case looks awesome. i wish they made one like that for the og evo, i’m still rocking that old thing.
That case does look pretty awesome, but from tests I’ve seen, the S III is pretty durable on its own
I also like how it looks like, wish they had cases for more phone models.
The white one in the picture makes me think of the original Star Wars for some reason… Storm Trooper armor? Door on the imperial ship?
