Rock cases are all about looking good. Pretty worthless as something that actually protects your phone if dropped unless you're very lucky.
Mrk there are plenty of cases out there which offer proper protection - stop blindly defending it just because it looks pretty
Not at all.
I've not had a case on any of my android phones that has not protected the top or bottom and then from a fall, to crack or scratch those exposed areas.
It's all fine for people who have had bad luck to oppose and recommend something else but why should I do the same when my experience is the complete opposite.
I have yet to see another type of case that keeps the sleek feel and look of the S3 while adding more grip to the device. That's the whole point of these cases, to add more grip so the chance of you dropping it are less likely but not make it look or feel bulky. I've got a number of S3 cases now and only the Nilkin/Rock type of cases keep the phone feeling the best and ultimately looking the best.
You could say the same for having all round protection cases, what if you get unlucky and the phone lands screen first onto the corner of a table edge or sharp surface, what then? The exact same can be said about those cases so in effect nobody can win here unless you wrap the entire phone in a protective shell which then leads to an impressively ugly phone which to the surprise of some, is a bold statement because the design of the S3 is ugly in the first instance.
See what I'm getting at here?
Bizarre.
Edit*
IMO until Walnutt release a bumper case for the S3 there won't really be a nice all round protection case that doesn't add bulk or an ugly "my first smartphone" look like these wrap/gel cases.
