For those Android faithful here in the United Kingdom that are patiently awaiting the arrival of the Samsung Galaxy S3, which word has it will be sightly delayed, you might just like to consider picking up a case ready to use on your Galaxy S3 once the smartphone arrives, so you can keep it protected and in its pristine condition.

Well, according to the guys over at Slash Gear, UK stores have now received their official and unofficial cases for the Samsung Galaxy S3, and the guys over at MobileFun have posted images of the Galaxy S3 official cases, along with several hands on videos of 3rd-party cases that have been specifically built for the Android Ice Cream Sandwich handset, and naturally we have those videos for our readers viewing consideration below.

There are two official Galaxy S3 case images from Samsung, both Flip cases, one in Marble White, the other in Pebble Blue, which attach to the Samsung Galaxy S3 as a complete battery cover replacement and flip over to cover the front of the handset, and cost £29.95.

There is also an official Slim Case that comes as a twin pack in both White and Blue, which according to MobileFun are ‘amazingly thin,’ and have been made using a plastic injection process to deliver protection and slimness, and costing £14.95.

Then there are the unofficial Samsung Galaxy S3 cases, shown off in three videos below, the first being a clear TPU case, priced at £14.95. The second is another TPU case but this time in translucent pink colour, again at £14.95, and then the FlexiShield case for the SGS3, which again is a TPU case to protect from scratches and dirt, and costs £11.95 for the blue, whilst other colours cost £9.99.

Lastly there is a video of the Genuine Samsung Galaxy S3 Mesh Vent Case, an official case from Samsung that offers a grippable surface, and according to MobileFun keeps your handset cool, and commands a price tag of £11.95.

Apparently all these official and unofficial cases for the Samsung Galaxy S3 are either available to purchase from MobileFun or will be available quite soon.

So there you have it, just a few cases for your Samsung Galaxy S3 if you are in the UK, do any of these catch your eye?
