This review is from: FoneM8® – Samsung Galaxy S3 Gel Skin Case Cover – Clear (Electronics)
This case fits really well. Everywhere that is except for the volume rocker button and the on/off button. The case is just a bit too tight against these buttons. I only have to lightly touch the side of the case to turn on/off the phone. The volume rocker is troublesome in this case as it’s easy for the button to get stuck down. Maybe this will ease over time but I dobt it. I can’t complain too much for the price but I may have to get a different one which is a shame because this case would be perfect if it wasn’t so tight on the buttons.
Edit: After using this case for the last few weeks it has softened up around the buttons and I am no longer constantly pressing the buttons justby picking up the phone. It still happens but nowhere near as often. I expect this trend to continue and the issue will be gone soon. I have changed my review to 5 stars as for the money this is an excellent case.
Edit 2: After owning this case for over 2 months it has discoloured to a nasty orange tinged colour. I can no longer recommend this case. My white S3 now looks horrible in it 🙁

This review is from: FoneM8® – Samsung Galaxy S3 Gel Skin Case Cover – Clear (Electronics)
On the positive, the “skin” is made of a decent quality material that could protect the phone from a short drop, this is under the assumption that your phone stays within this “skin”.
On the flip side, the word “skin” used in the description is not at all accurate, as a skin implies a thin layer that is tightly connected to the item is is skinning. With the FoneM8, this is not the case, it is a bulky loose fitting cover, that is liable to slip off while removing the phone from your pocket.
On a whole it is just too bulky, and not a great fitting cover for the phone, however it will protect the device if it stays on.

This is the second case that I’ve ordered for the Samsung Galaxy SIII. To be honest I bought this one to put me on until the other more expensive one (PDair T41 leather flip case) arrives, 3-4 weeks apparently. I always have my phone protected by a case and can never understand why people wait until they drop and damage there expensive device as in another review and then go out and buy a case in order to hide the damage, when a case like this one would have prevented the damage in the first place…crazy!!! Anyway, I wasn’t expecting much for the money but was well impressed when it arrived. Perfect fit, hugs the phone like a second skin, I’m convinced that this case would protect the phone from most knocks and scrapes. It really doesn’t add much more bulk to the device and as its made from a clear gel you can still see the Samsung logo on the back. All appertures are in the right place so all ports are accessible and the slightly raised lip that the case provides around the screen edge will keep the screen clear of any flat surface if put face down when muting the phone thus avoiding the screen becoming scratched. The deal I ordered came with ten screen protectors too which are of equally high quality and fit the screen perfectly. All in all, for around three pounds my device has perfect protection, in fact I’m thinking of returning the other leather case priced at £21.99 and keeping this one instead. Don’t be put off by the one negative review, this case is a winner!!

Discolouration after a couple of months,
