I’ve had the new Samsung Galaxy SIII for almost a month now, but still didn’t have a case for it. Luckily UAG (Urban Armor Gear) sent me two beautiful cases to review, and I couldn’t be more thrilled. No seriously, these cases rock!
First of all, Urban Armor Gear is a company that has a tight niche. They solely focus on only three cell phone cases: iPhone 4/4s, iPhone 5 and the Samsung Galaxy SIII. They aren’t a huge mass retailer spitting out cases for every new phone that hits the market. I believe that because they only have these 3 phones in their line up, that there is more quality in their cases. Don’t just take my word for it though, try them yourself!
The Samsung SIII phone cases on UrbanArmorGear.com come in 6 different color options, I have the 1x NAVIGATOR (white) and the 1x VALKYRIE (pink). Both are stunning. The white is practically the same color as my phone – it looks so smooth, doesn’t it?
The design of the phone case is patent pending. It’s hard armored outer shell and silicone shock-absorbing interior core is very unique to prevent damage in the instance of impact. If it is dropped, the case design disperses the impact! 
Based on what I heard about these cases’ toughness – I was expecting a lot heavier and a lot bigger. BUT, I was pleasantly surprised by the small, thin and feather light case. It is just like a sleeve – barely bigger than my phone. The case front is almost flush with my phone, there isn’t a big lip, just high enough for a little protection. The style is rugged and tough, different from your typical phone case – I love the design!
Lastly, the buttons are over-sized and easy to use. They aren’t hard to push, like past covers I’ve had. The power and volume controls are easy to push down on with no struggle. The openings for the ports are wide enough for my headphones and for my charger too. Overall, I have no complaints with the design.
Purchase Information: The phone comes with a screen protector and cleaning kit – to form a really nice bundle. This case is worthwhile if you are looking for function, form and superior quality! The Samsung Galaxy SIII Urban Armor Gear Case can be purchased at Urban Armor Gear for $34.95.
