The Samsung Galaxy S3 accessories keep rolling out, and iSkin’s getting in on the GS3 action with its Aura and Vibes lines of cases.
For its Vibes line ($29.99), which comes in multiple colors, iSkin touts its Microban antimicrobial protection, which “helps prevent the growth of bacteria that can cause stains and odors.” I’m not sure I’ve ever had a smartphone case with a B.O. problem, but hey, it makes for good marketing.
While I haven’t tried out the Vibes on the S3, I did check out the Aura ($39.99), which is also available for the iPhone 4/4S and other smartphones. With its two-tone aluminum back shield, it’s certainly a sleek, eye-catching case and has a slim profile (it comes in three color combos). I liked it a lot.
Needless to say, however, the $40 price point is pretty steep. But then again, most cases are initially overpriced.
