ΘΗΚΕΣ ΚΙΝΗΤΩΝ ΤΗΛΕΦΩΝΩΝ

It's a good idea to get a case if you plan to resell your smartphone at a later date to help defray the cost of a new smartphone. Minor scratches and scuffs can devalue your device on the secondary market. So if you can keep your phone in pristine condition, you're likely to get a better price for it.

Another popular reason for getting a case is simply to show off some personal style. The Samsung Galaxy S3 is one of the hottest-selling devices on the market. And that means there are tons of people walking around with the exact same phone that you have. While I don't really care too much about that, some people do. A case offers you a way to add some color or style to your device to reflect your own personality.

In addition to protecting your phone and adding some style, some cases can enhance the functionality of your device. For example, the BoxWave Color Splash case offers a kickstand, so you can position your Galaxy S3 horizontally to watch video. The MiniSuit Versatile Case Cover + Stand + Book Folio Wallet is a cover and case that allows you to store credit cards or cash alongside your phone.

My CNET Reviews colleague David Carnoy has reviewed several cases for the Galaxy S3. He just updated his "Best Samsung Galaxy S3 Cases" post on Friday with five new additions. So if you're in the market for a new Galaxy S3 case, you should check out his article and the corresponding slideshow.

One good piece of advice David offers potential smartphone-case shoppers is that the same exact case with the same design may be offered by multiple suppliers. The name-brand case makers often offer it for much more than off-brand suppliers. So you may want to broaden your search and look around before you buy. With this in mind, he said you don't have to break the bank to get a decent case for your device.

"While higher-end cases tend to cost to , perfectly good cases can be had for less than shipped," he said.

So to reiterate. You definitely do not need to buy a case for your Samsung Galaxy S3 or for any other smartphone. But if you do want a case, make sure you shop around. And check out David Carnoy's "Best Galaxy S3 cases" post for some help. Good luck!
