i have a skin that i like but was looking for something like the cover-case they have for the samsung s3 - will it fit? i don't know if the sizes are the same for the phone even though they look basically the same - thanks
 
I have personally tried it and it does not fit.
Like the other poster said the S3 is more rounded and also the ATIV S is slight longer than the S3.
I know here in Canada the carriers have a gel case for it. I haven't seen one in store but they are available online for purchase
 
that is an annoying thing, i want/need a car holder ( device specific, none of this springy grip rubbish ) i cant understand why samsung make every device slightly fatter,thinner, wider, narrower, taller,shorter etc. why they didn't take an S3 shell and stick windows guts in it i don't know?? we'd have all the cases and holders we ever need. i'm sure you don't need 20+ devices that look almost the same but aren't really. i'm sure the holders will come, just another wait. IF i can get the functionallity i need on android i will be swapping phones to an S4 when it's out, or maybe the S3 mini. all depends on the options in quick office pro??
 
Because they want to have it a little different than that of there Android offering....
 
I've found two decent cases for it. The first is a generic smartphone holster-style leather case with rotatable clip available at The Source in Canada. Don't know how better to describe it, as it is a generic slim holster case with elastic sides and microfiber lining. It's the only holster case I've found that fits the phone snugly with a thin profile (for a holster case).

The second case I found was a slip case from iGadgitz for pockets/inside the coat. That one is my daily carry case, and can be found here (free shipping from the UK to Atlantic Canada):

Yeah, and when someone calls me by the time I take the phone out of my pocket and out of that pouch/case I missed the call
 
when i say i want a car holder, i mean a brodit active car holder. i have had them for many of my phones and i'll just have to wait i guess.
 
I'm holding out for an OtterBox myself 😊

I tried the "gel" one at a Rogers store last night but didn't feel it was worth the money.
 
I got the S Line Wave Gel Case Cover For Samsung I8750 Ativ S (being sold at the London Magic Store) here in Ottawa, Canada for $20. I guess you can say I got skinned - the same case at the London Magic Store is ?2.90 ($4.58 CDN). - With a Screen protector!!

Well I got a response from OtterBox...I asked their support if and when we'd see one of their cases for the ATIV S, and they said there are currently no plans to create one :(

I was disappointed in that...guess they don't see it as a potential big seller :(
 
I like the official folio flip cover for galaxy s3. It consists of a replacement back cover with the front flip cover attached. This is great as no extra bulk added to phone. I will see of I can mod the removable back cover of the Ativ s and see if I can attach a cover to that. Will update you guys.
 
I've looked at Otterbox, Speck and Casemate and none of them have anything yet for this phone. I settled for the generic "s-wave" skin for now, but offers no real protection. As soon as a decent case is available, I'll snap it up.
 
Biggest thing I'd be worried about with a gs3 case is accidentally triggering the camera/losing access to the camera button. (gs3 has no camera button)
