Thats what tripped me out, that they went to the lengths of making skeleton frames for each device and figured out a way to integrate the application of the protector using it. I've never seen that before. How many times have you (any of you) gotten frustrated because you cant seem to get the protector lined up right, or it takes a few tries.......this seems to not only make the installation very quick and easy but also ensures proper alignment the first time. Kudos to these guys! I dont even like dry install protectors but I appreciate their work and hope the product changes my mind about this type of protector and decided to show my appreciation by buying one.

I really want a metal back, I know no one really knows if this metal back will fit the US version but it should right?

I am assuming they will be the same since Samsung went far enough to keep the form factors the same. I guess tab arrangement could be different but if the dimensions are the same surely they would keep it interchangeable.

Only got screen protector but waiting for more cases to be released. I still got some time for my phone to arrive.

I'm buying a 64 gb micro sdxc from Sandisk, Bose IE2 in-ears and original Samsung Carholder (when it's released).

I'm waiting on Zenus to release their S3 folio cases. Best looking cases I've seen for the S3 so far.
Just google "Zenus S3" and it's the 6th link down. I can't post pictures yet.

Haven't ordered my phone yet, should be this week...
Already bought..
32Gb Samsung SD class 10
Terrapin screen protector
Cheapo pouch pull tab
Pouch elasticated sides type
A-jays One + headphones
Waiting to order official Samsung Blue Flip cover

Got the chick at the store to install a screen protector. Got that orange-peel-look, but it does the job.
Atm I'm thinking of getting this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Green-Metal...588099?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2571a76e43
Just wondering if it'll affect the signal..

Well I have my s3 and thus so far have got:
External 8400 Mah mah powerpack by powergen from amazon
32gb card
A zagg screen protector in ATM
A uunique brushed aluminium case
A Micro USB to USB adaptor (for my pen drive - which works)
Also had a good touch screen stylus laying about which works great with s memo.
To come -
A pile of full body protectors and screen protectors which cost me pittance and I presume are of better quality than the usual cheap tat that I end up having to buy (I'm almost ocd and have to change the screen protector if I see a patch on the screen )
Anyway the metallic case does effect signal. I would estimate a 10% loss but everything still works great GPS etc and is barely noticeable. You can only tell with gps test and looking at the signal values and not in bars. But each to their own eh?

Just Got This Case.

EDIT; I am placing all of the pics I've posted in this thread below and removing them from later posts. This needed cleaned up plus it should make it easier for people to get a better idea of how they look when you get more than one and trade out the parts. More colors and pictures in the next few days...
I just got one of these and so far I have to say that I am impressed. The plugs that fit the earphone jack and the hdmi/micro usb ports fit remarkably well. I think that I would like it more if the colored plastic piece were a little less slippery. But it is the 'rubberized' plastic so it isn't that bad.
Another EDIT; After owning this for a few months I have to say that the plastic hasn't turned out to be that slippery at all. Just about right for staying on the dash (ish) and getting it in and out of my pocket. And I've decided it is more of a 9/10 to me. And for 10 to 12 bucks shipped, what's not to like.
Thanks garrett_tx for this Amazon link.

(Thanks to my Wife for holding the phones for me.)
Awesome, thanks for the review. I was just looking at this case maybe like 2 days ago.
Could you answer a couple of questions? -
- how good is it in protecting the phone if i drop it for example?
- how much thicker does it make the phone look?
- is it possible that the part of the case which "clips on" on the front of the phone can leave scratches?
- does it come with a screen protector?
THANKS!

Edit; Pics moved to original post.
- how good is it in protecting the phone if i drop it for example?
Not sure. Haven't dropped it yet. But as you can see it is a two piece case.
The corners are doubled up with both the plastic and silicone. So I expect the case to take the hit, and not the phone.
- how much thicker does it make the phone look?
Not much.
- is it possible that the part of the case which "clips on" on the front of the phone can leave scratches?
The silicone is between the outer case and the phone, so not a problem.
- does it come with a screen protector?
Nope.
On a side note. I am ordering another one, maybe two. I like the fact that the pieces can be mixed and matched.
Also, It is a little more difficult to use with the docks because of the flap, but not impossible.
Hope that helps.
looks like a good case and there are many cool colors combinations...
i might take one of these.
thanks!
Great review, thanks a lot. And for 2 bucks I will definitely have to try it.
Interesting. Does the silicone case feel good without the hard part?

I removed the hard part and messed with it a little. I guess it feels ok. Without the molded plastic the silicon part is pretty loose. The sides are extra loose. The ends seem ok at best. I don't think that it would just fall off or anything while holding it. But going in and out of a pocket might be a drag.
thanks I think I will buy one on amazon, price seems more interesting

Yeah, the price looks good there too. I don't have Amazon Prime so the shipping would add 3 bucks to the total. Makes it around a dollar more than the ebay price for me. Another example of why I really need to kick Netflix and get Prime...
only certain items get "prime" status, on the case i would have to pay the 3 dollars even though i have prime
just depends on the seller on amazon
I've got this case since 4days.
Good quality/price, the silicone alone feet not so good but with the hard part it's ok.
I have this case as well--white under with black gray outside--and love it. I've had it bout 2 weeks now and it's holding up quite nicely. =)

You'll like it unless you are docking the phone constantly. It will dock, just not very well. I don't dock mine much so it isn't an issue. I ended up getting the black/red and the red/black cases. Now I can mix and match, and have a totally red or black case or leave them as they are. I really dig it all red or all black tho.
so this case can be use with the HD dock too?

Well sort of... You have to hold the rubber thingy that covers the mini usb and hdmi sockets. And once you get it in the dock the fit isn't that great. Loose and wobbly, but functional. Other than that it's a great case.
I do love this case alot i have the all black one
I got an outterbox... was actually disappointed in it. I dropped my phone from about 5 feet, bobbled it till it dropped, and it ended up landing on the top side. I picked it up and saw no physical damage, but the digitizer was not responding toward the top. The notification still works, but just underneath it to about a half inch below all the way across doesn't work. Screw you outterbox!

* * My screen films, cases and accessories picks and reviews * *

Just wanted to share with others my picks of accessories for my Samsung Galaxy NOTE. I'll keep the words short and let the pictures do the talking.
First a must for me is screen protectors, I don't care if the NOTE has a scratch proof screen I still need a screen film to protect it. My first choice is always SGP, I started using SGP screen films back when I had my iPhone 3G, always love their precise cut and fit. I like the SGP Ultra Optics and Oleophobic so I buy them here at eBay LINK. I'm using the Oleophobic currently and I love the clarity of this screen film although the anti oil coating is starting to wear off so I will likely put back the Ultra Optics on.

}
Then I need a case, I have always, always used a TPU case with a lip for lay on the table for full protection then I realize why should I protect it fully when I sell it for the next best phone? This time I went for a ultra thin case that does not add bulk to fully enjoy the phone like it has no case. This ultra thin case is about .2mm thin and covers the back and bezel from scratches ONLY, no drop protection. Comes in variety of colors and I chose CLEAR, GRAY, and SMOKE. You can get it here eBay LINK
Then I went mad and purchase a lot accessories for the NOTE like OTG and HDMI cable, leather pouch, OEM Samsung battery and battery charger stand and Samsung 32GB Class 10 Micro SD Card. I purchase everything on eBay from different sellers, eBay OTG Cable, eBay Samsung 32GB C10 SDHC, eBay OEM battery & charger
That's about it, just wanted to say I love the NOTE!
Care to share what screen films, cases and accessories you like?
What do you mean the "anti oil coating is wearing off"?
How did you know?
How long did you use it for?
Wouldn't that make it a very expensive screen protector if it wears off within a few weeks?
^ I know its wearing off because there is more finger prints?
Actually used the Oleophobic for a month with heavy use.
Thanks for posting. I agree with everything you said and have the exact same accessories! Love the Note more than any phone I've ever owned
I put screen protector, then I put super thin case then I purchase hdmi cable and extra battery charger.
Then NOTE2 come out....and Im failed lol
Joke ;-) Nice review man. +5

Received this one
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Ultra-Thin-0...496890?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3a713672ba
Fits great. The only complain is edge not high enough(10% more should be ok) and has 3 small dirty inside the material.
Then I think I need to protect the front, so I ordered this:
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/220919418489?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

Couldn't agree more about *thin* cases being important. I got an el-cheapo TPU case to start with (basically the only type I could fins on ebay at the time - I got NOte last year) and I definitely notice the extra bulk it gives the device.
Part of the "wow" factor is how thin this phone is - why ruin it's looks
Thanks for your write up!
^ Should fit in the Samsung dock.
Just got a few accessories for the NOTE, will update the first post..

Time for a old thread bump. Can't believe I still have the note as I usually buy the latest gadgets but the note is still good for my use.
Still using the SPIGEN Ultra Optics front screen protector and got a NEW case, Rearth Ringke SLIM Matte. :good: Very slim, nice texture matte finish, top and bottom case have a lip for lay on the table.

Ballistic SG Maxx

Got mine today. It's pretty awesome. The molded screen protector is a great feature. I will likely use it when I am outdoors playing, but switch back to my Rock case when I am lounging indoors.
The belt clip is another great addition. I would take this case over an Otterbox ANY day. It doesn't make it nearly as big and boxy.

How easy is it to remove and put back on and stuff? Surely fairly easy seeing as you're switching between the Rock and the SG?
yeahmon, do you use the Ballistic in a car holder, if so, can you provide pics of this also when you get the chance ?
Thanks in advance for the picture

I just ordered mine. This case has a hard shell screen protector, that is an awesome feature. I have been an Otterbox fan since the iPhone 3G, but this case looks like it will take the cake. :highfive:
Ordered wondering how long it will take to get to UK also they say the screen protector is replaceable is there a re order ref in the box with the case as I don't see anything on the site ? TIA

There was nothing in the box but the case, and a Ballistic decal. The screen protector is flexible plastic. I will add that it distorts the screen a bit if you look at it a certain way. Nothing offensive, but worth noting. Almost like a 3D LCD. It's weird to describe.
I'm assuming you will be able to order them on their website soon. The case was just released a day or two ago.
I have terrible 3G reception where we are camping,so forgive me if my replies take awhile. It took 6 hours to send the first reply yesterday.

I'm already beginning to dislike the plastic screen protector. It seems to be creating a lot of false touches, which causes me to have to use the back button a LOT. It may have to come off and see how it works without it.
I have officially pulled the screen protector off. It was causing WAY too many touch errors. I like nekkid screen better.

I have had this case on the whole time. I forgot about my Rock case. This phone just feels right with this case. It's easy in my hand, and I dropped it onto the kitchen floor, and and it just bounced a little. I about freaked out, but my S3 lives.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
thanks for the continuous updates. pretty helpful to see how the case turns out in the long run.
i decided not to go for ballistic or commuter
went ahead to preorder a trident kraken ams. for the price (31 shipped to the US), design and protection i think its the best of the 3. if it doesnt work out ill go for a commuter before ballistic.
I had to remove the Ballistic. Everyone was complaining about not being able to understand me on the phone. The mic is such a tiny hole on the bottom of the phone, it seemed the rubber hole was preventing my voice from carrying. I put the Rock case back on, and the problem is solved. I would imagine this could be the results for any case that covers the bottom of the device.

I was looking at the ballistic at the mall the other day. Liked it. hated the screen protector off the gate, but with a regular protector it was nice. Didn't even think about the mic issue.. Will have to investigate that one.. kind of big deal to be able to have people hear you.

[REVIEW] BoxWave DuoSuit TPU Case

Hey, just wanted to give you guys a quick look of this case I purchased recently- in case there are some of you who might be in the market for a decent looking yet inexpensive case.

Front and Back shots of the case's design. The S-Line is what separates the 2 texture/materials. BTW, I have the GSM nexus, not sure how it will fit for CDMA/LTE/ETC.
The material on the sides of the case is a bumpy rubber, allowing a more firm grip. The case material layers over the POWER and VOLUME buttons, the VOLUME side has 2 different bumps that are separated into + and - resulting in a more natural feel. The POWER button layover however, doesn't really return a tactile response when you press it, not a huge issue- more of a personal pet peeve i guess.
There is a slight lip that surrounds the front of the phone so you won't have to worry about scratching your screen if you lay it face down. The lip won't provide rock hard protection but it is better than nothing and it should be able to absorb some of the shock if it were to fall face first.
All the areas of the phone have proper cutouts
pogo pins
headphone jack
bottom mic
micro-usb slot
speaker
camera
top mic
not sure what that 2-hole area is below the speaker is, maybe its for attaching those string phone key-chains or whatever.
Overall, for the price I feel that this case isn't too bad, besides the PWR button pet peeve I have, I would recommend this case. I can't compare it to other cases yet, but maybe I will once I get the urge to purchase more cases. it can happen.
I got it off amazon for about $11 USD ...

Looks pretty sweet! I'm using (and have been using) the otterbox case for a year now and I'm looking for something different. Something that looks nice even though it may not provide as much protection as the otterbox. Unfortunately I was using a different case for about a week or so and my phone fell face first onto the street. The screen was fine, however there are some noticeable nicks on the top and sides now, so I'm looking for a cover that goes around the whole phone.
How long did it take to arrive? Does it only come in black? I see the other colors on the amazon page but it doesn't give the option to choose a different color when you try to buy, unless I missed it.
Thanks for the review!

Nice! I used to have Prime, but it expired and I don't really want to spend $39 right now to renew, so I think I'd have to do $5 extra for shipping, but i think it' worth it since Verizon charges like $25 for a plain old cover.
Thanks for adding the new colors btw! I can't decide which color to choose, lol.
These are only about a dollar on ebay.

good find but tbh not everybody uses ebay.
Just wanted to post and say that I got this case! I'd do my own review, but honestly the OP's review is spot on. The only "issue" I would bring up (as did the OP) is the power button response. Sometimes I'm not sure if I hit the power button or not, but it's really not as big of a deal as it sounds. I'd give it a 8.5/10 and it's worth a purchase if you need a case.
I also got the same color as the one in the pictures above, so I can't comment on the other colors, but you can't go wrong with any imo.
I have a similar case and looking for one for my daughter. I think I will get her this one as she wants to keep it as slim as possible and I believe they will work with the extended battery, just a bit snugger is all. Now to find a screen protector, augh, so many choices...

Why not? $1 ebay vs $11 amazon? Looks the same item. Or is it?

Otterbox Case

Got my case today. It doesn't seem to fit at the headphone jack area. Anyone else seeing this? Besides that, it's a great case so far!

I have the eBay $7 case...same thing w/ the headphone jack, need to find just a thinner one or whittle some of the plastic off if you dare
I have the otterbox case and it fits well on my phone.
I fixed it! I had to put the part covering the jack through first so it was correct.
Did anyone use the screen protector it came with? Is it better than a Zagg?

I couldn't get the screen protector on to my satisfaction. I ordered a Phantom skinz and will report back.
where did you guys get the otterbox case? its not in any of my sprint stores and every time i go to the website it says the case isnt out yet......
From a local sprint store about a week ago.

All the local stores I went to (the same one that wouldn't activate the phone for my SERO-P plan) have 1 or 2 of them in stock. If you are really desperate for it, you can always order it from Sprint's website
I am using one of these right now and it's not bad for the price, good enough to last me until something better comes out.
odd....thats the first time ive seen the case on the sprint site....and ive been checking often.....
and here's what the otterbox site tells me. ( ive also tried on multiple computers, devices, and browsers)

I stopped by my local best buy and got the Rocketfish case. not bad....fits well. in the comment section there was a debate as to weather or not this case was for the at&t or sprint model. its marked as an at&t case, however people with that phone said it didnt fit at all. those who had the sprint version said it fit. and it does. On a side note, the case does have a cut out that looks like it would be for the SD card on the at&t model, which is misleading. though i find the slot to be useful cause you can use a dime or penny to pop the case off. if you dont do that its a pain in the butt to get it undone.
I also have a little concern about the phone getting too hot in the case. after a half hour / hour of playing FPS / Driving games it gets really hot. I may end up moding the case and cutting the back out to make it a "bumper" style case
@Ryocho - thanks for the offer ! gonna see how this case does and see if anything else comes out.
I will say though, i do like the otterbox screen protector, worked out great for my evo. and i dont think they sell them seperate.....

I use this case as well , was kinda bored on the lack of case's we carry at sprint so I did some mix matching......... I know I know its hot pink but hey im good I got a hot lil mexican so im secure with it lol
Oh yea I used the factory shield at first but that high gloss plastic scratches real quick so I cut an S3 invisishield to fit , works for now

How can I get those other colors? Would love it in red. I'm applying a Zagg next week

I can't wait to see some more colors released! My plain old black is boring.
Car Mount/Holster
Just grabbed the Otterbox and everything is great, two questions though.
Besides the sprint generic, has anyone found a good car mount that fits with the case on?
Has anyone found a holster that fits? My hope is i can find a holster that is sideways with the clip at the top and I can slightly modify the case to snap into place.
If i find anything I'll be sure to pass it on!

I highly recommend this mount. The one hand operation is really convenient.
Is that mount guaranteed to fit? I would get it if I had that verification haha.

^^ I am 99% sure it will fit, since reviews say it will fit a s3 with otterbox case, but tight. And with my currently naked optimus G there's about 1/4 inch space on both sides when the arms are fully extended.
But if you have concerns you can get the galaxy note 2 version, which is guaranteed to fit a s3 with otterbox case, optimus g with otterbox should be about the same size.
I love the case. I've had it for most of my phones but my only issue is when it's on the back the plastic slides on smooth surfaces because it's so light of a phone! It's not a big issue but something to mention.
It's a good case. Just a little bulky
Cannot express how glad I am I got this case. Definitely the best case out there now. Accidently dropped my phone out of my pocket while getting out the charging cable and it fell onto concrete from about 3 feet high. And there's not a single scratch, on my phone, or the screen. Woo Otterbox!
And I normally never, ever drop my phone. My last phone only had Ghost Armor on it and one tiny ding after a year and a half. But these things happen and boy am I glad I invested in this gem!
holster
I've been looking for a holster like the defender that will fit this case but haven't had any luck. Anyone else?
