Elago G5 Slim Fit case protects the Galaxy S III in style for just $10 (gallery)

I don't like adding much bulk to my smartphones with a case, but I also appreciate a case that helps me hold and use my phone. The Elago G5 Slim Fit case is available in a variety of colors and you will barely notice it is even on.

The Elago G5 Slim Fit case I purchased from Amazon came in the Eco Pack, which just means a very basic plastic retail package.

The back has a soft touch feel to it so you will see improved ability to grip and hold onto your Galaxy S III.

Here you can see how the case protects the sides and corners while showing off just a little bit of color on the front.

The top and bottom have openings for ports and mics while there is a notch cut out for the headset jack.

The back has three openings for the flash, camera lens, and speaker. The openings actually end up providing some protection from scratching these three areas as well.
