Just joined the SGS3 forum, not sure if it's been posted, just want to share this new case that I have just purchased, it's good for the looks, thin and very light weight, but will not take much of a drop, the clips that holds the aluminum are rather thin.
Anyway here are some picture.
Beautiful, how much does it cost?
hmmm
intreested in more info/pics

It cost me HKD 128 (USD 16)
How secure is the connection between the bumper and the back? From the pictures, seems like it would disconnect if you dropped it.
Ahhh. I've been searching ebay, no luck in finding this

there are many cases for mobile phone sold in china and hong kong that you won't find on ebay, and many more that's only available in china only.
Looks good. I like aluminum stuff, but doesn't it affect signals somehow?
Nice I really like the look

there isn't enough aluminum on the case to affect the signal.

I would love to see more pictures of your phone in the case if possible.
I'm thinking of getting one too haha... id like to see some more pictures.
How much does it add around the phone.. 1mm? 3mm?

Hey guys,
I know a lot of you are looking for this.
I have found a site which has these in stock and is selling. I bought two.
http://www.mrcellphoneunlocker.com/V2/products.php?product=TB_EX
Pretty cheap if you ask me.
They all look pretty poorly cut... maybe if they done better it would be worth it, but looking at all the jagged cuts on those skins... it would be cheaper to just buy one of ebay for less and poorly cut the thing myself.
Im lazy

True. But I rather save $10 bucks. and get 2 if needed.
Money should always trumps lazyness. $3 vs $13...
ehh i just cut mine i wish they came out with one that actually covers the battery.. anyone find one yet?

Those look terrible. I cut mine and it doesn't look that bad.

LMAO this is some sort of joke right? What moron would pay $13 for that?
I had done my own cut back 15 days ago, photos are outdated but you get the idea. In addition, I had ran a lighter around the freshly cut edges to smooth out the lines. It's better looking in person, that's for sure.

Shrug. I just buy from by buddy. I have 2. He only sells black though.
So far, Ive had mine from his pre-release ones. and its holding up quite well.
They can be seen on: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320689127257&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT
Those are the ruff cut pics. I dont think hes had time to update pics because hes had some family and whatnot. But, for the price. $13 vs 25.
I'm also selling them for $10 shipped.
-Mobile on my Bolt sportin' some goodies-
I'm actually waiting for this:
http://www.seidioonline.com/category-s/5448.htm
Seidio is going to have their active case for the ThunderBolt which will cover the battery more than likely because they just released pictures of their SURFACE case and it covers the battery. Check it out and let me know what you think.
I finally dropped my phone getting out of my car and dinged up the frame of the phone pretty bad. Since I'm OCD, I'd like to replace just the frame, nothing else got damaged and it looks like a simple replacement. Yet I can't find where to order the part from.
Does anyone have a link to order a frame (outer edge of the phone) or have done this themselves?
Thanks.

I could sell you a complete housing....$80. Typically you dont see the frame only.

I say just put a $20 max bid in there (prolly won't get to $20). It's well worth it, and easy to replace. My soft case ($2 on ebay) fits just fine in my car dock....

I bought it not sure if I would like it but turned out to absolutely love it and it comes with an awesome holster too that I didn't think I would even use but now I wont leave home without it. The holster also provides allot of added protection since it covers the screen.

Looks like a beast
Hey all! I was looking around for a replacement frame/bezel myself due to my power button issues.
Just got mine in, and it's what its supposed to be Looks like the real deal, and not some knock off 3rd party part.
Here are sellers that have black and white frames in, just in case anybody is needing them.

You could just buy another battery cover. The case you're looking only protects that part, anyway. I got a soft-touch back from ebay but I don't think it's available anymore. Makes a huge difference to the in-hand feel. The plastic back feels ridiculously cheap in comparison.

I've dropped my work phone twice and both times the case protected the corners.
Found them on gocellular.ca and it arrived today. Awesome.
I see many variants of this and was wondering if anyone has tried it. if so can you let me know your thoughts? Maybe some photos of the phone with the case. I am really thinking of getting it.

Will do, first person to get it post
I'm using one that's nearly identical --
http://www.amazon.com/Cimo-Hybrid-H...8&qid=1368653617&sr=1-4&keywords=cimo+htc+one
I like it! Simple, doesn't add much bulk. Only issue with it is the volume rocker is covered up by a harder rubber material, so there is no longer any tactile feedback with presses.

Hi guys, no a long time ago we saw a chinesse website selling Iphone-like aluminum case for GS3. But this website was WAY too creepy and unsecure. I've found the same product over here : www .casefanatic.com/samsung-2/galaxy-s3/metal/hunterf-galaxy-s3-thin-alu-bumper-case/ no spacing
on a secure website and with a lot of choise for color !
I've ordered one today ! :laugh:
looks like an ad...
look cool
If you want your phone to look like an iPhone then but am iPhone and not some cheap look alike.
Even come topped off with a brushed bezel haha
Well, not a bad idea, I wonder about the reception quality though since a metal case also shields the built in antenna..
I have one, and I have to say that I have got it not because I want my phone to look like an iPhone, but I like the metal touch and sturdiness my SG3 has now.
I have notice some minor wifi signal but has far as gsm, there was no loss (that was one of mine concerns).
I can say that I am happy with the results.
Ordered mine today.
hmm thinking of getting this case but some comments on the video said it blocks service. can anyone confirm?
You can buy it from ebay for 18 dollars seach ultra thin case samsung galaxy s3

looks good but...
wifi and cellular reception will drop dramatically. I used this. no doubt it gave the phone an awesome looks and feel but i couldn't live with very low reception.
Just received it, it's really nice. Haven't noticed any difference in signals. Still need to check NFC.
Ordered the black/silver. Don't like the combo, so I'll be ordering the all silver.
I'm going to start telling people it's the iPhone 5S/6... Lol.

I don't have this case but I tried using a different case with a metal backing and NFC (including S-Beam) is blocked. It was only the backing and not all around so I can't say for sure if the signal strength will be affected by this case. Looks very cool though.
