Video Review: Tridea Tedoori Bumper Case for Samsung Galaxy S III

Bumper. What exactly does it mean? A quick dictionary search will lead you to something along these lines; a fixed metal bar used in a vehicle to reduce damage after a collision. Seems useful, huh? The folks at Tridea took the idea of a bumper and ported it to phones in order to have a similar effect, reducing damage during a drop or fall.

The result is the Tedoori Bumper case, made from a TPU material, it hugs the sides and corners of the Galaxy S III to provide a tight fit whilst adding a slight grip. The execution of the case is good for the most part, it is comfortable to hold while maintaing a minimalistic and simple design. The ports and cutouts are spot-on, so I have no problems with the manufacturing of the case.

The main issues come with the way the case is meant to be used, simply put: this case offers an extremely low amount of protection from scratches or drops. Bumper cases in general are to be used by consumers that are careful with their devices, the Tedoori being no exception. One drop and you can kiss your Galaxy S III goodbye. This isn't a knock on Tridea, but rather bumper cases in general.
