how much you bought and at where?
I bought from some fellow LYN seller last year. Paid via bank in and he poslaju it to me.
Phone 'feels' lighter and more premium.
But phone 'IS' more likely to survive a fall with a case.
I prefer safety rather than look.
Just like you look more macho driving without safety belt,
But you are less likely to die during a crash.
Look at youtube drop test by Erica.
She drop the phone twice with case and nothing happen.
Once remove case and drop, instant crack.
I already feel premium using s3. It's an expensive phone and everyone knows it.
If u take a galaxy w wrap in aluminum, it's still cheap.
S3 even put inside ridiculous hello kitty rubber case,
it's still expensive and have a premium vibe.

Different people have different taste.
