[Q] Replacement Frame

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.

Thanks! I'll watch that auction. Just exactly what I need.
If the stupid Samsung car dock had room for a cover of any sort this wouldn't be a problem.

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....
Hope ya get it

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.

The water proof thread

So to kick it off, I've got two "pouches" that are supposed to be watertight. I haven't checked if they are actually water proof, but I can say something about the fit (or misfit).
1. Had the Hagløfs Watatait for the S1. Plastic made it impossible to insert the phone. I had to use a metallic case on the phone to get it in the pouch.
The S3 have the same problem. Its slightly less "clingy", but edges on phone get stuck before fully inserted. There is no room for a phone with case.
2. Got the Overboard case from mobilefun. S3 slides nicely into the pouch. Locking feels safe enough, to the point of being over-engineered. The clear plastic window is slightly small, making it hard to pull down the notification menu. Also a bit fiddly to find the power and volume buttons.
Its also a very tight fit. I suspect its made for the iphone, with room for protection for that phone. Any case that offer enough protection for the S3 make it too big for this pouch.
So anyone else have a watertight pouch case they want to share with the rest of us?

I'm a biker, after much trial and error I found the Northcore surfing cases and bought one for my old phone (Desire). Got my S3 today and while tight it does fit the bare phone with no problems and leaves it easily operable. I usually have the phone strapped to my left forearm and have some capacitive thread stitched into the index finger of the right glove and a bluetooth headset for sound. Add in Tasker to deal with automation and it makes the phone really easy to use.
This is the beastie:
CLICKY

I'm hoping Liquidpel will be available for this device. http://www.liquipel.com/
Basically they coat the entire phone + internals with hydrophobic material, that way even when water gets into the phone, it remains working.

I used a waterproof pouch when I was on my last cruise. Put my epic touch in it and went snorkeling for hours with it in my pocket. It was under water the whole time, no leaks. I bought it from Amazon.com.

The tight fit is a problem, to be ideal, it should be room for something like Otterbox defender or Ballistic-whatever-its-name-was. A drop in one of the pouches with bare phone is nearly as bad as a drop of the bare phone, and SIII doesn't take a lot of abuse on its own.
So looking for something with a bit more room, that still have decent opening to operate the screen.

I suspect you'll have problems finding anything that big, the S3 isn't a small handset to start with and by the time it's cased up it doubles the bulk.
Good luck :good:

If your looking for waterproof bag i have been using a type of waterproof ziplock for years. its called Aloksak. I have swam across rivers a few time and my gear in it is always dry.
Its certified waterproof to 60 metres and tested by the Navy Diving Unit.
I got mine through amazon and there are alot of sizes some even can fit a rifle. I have some that are really beat up scratches and stretch marks from sharp object and they are not even leaking.
Screen is 100% usable and its dirt cheap.

I am looking for a decent water proof case myself. I have ran across the drycase from drycase.com and have contacted them in an attempt to verify that the s3 will fit in the standard case without having to get the tablet sized one.
It does not offer drop protection however they say its rated to 100 feet (30 meters) so i should be able to take this on a 40 foot reef dive.
I really want to get rid of my camera housing as its for an old sony 5mp camera that barely works anymore.

Drycase
I just received my Drycase from Amazon. So far here are my thoughts on it with the S3. I have never owned a waterproof case like this before so perhaps some of these issues are common to cases like this. Keep in mind I have only had the case for a couple hours so these are just my initial impressions.
1. It is a little difficult to get the phone into and out of the case. It sticks to the plastic sides of the case.
2. Although the Drycase sales rep told me that the S3 would fit in the case and it does for the most part, it is hard to get it far enough into the case so that you can connect the headphone adapter and still have it be out of the way of the top black flap and closing mechanism.
3. Once the phone is in the case and the air is pumped out, the plastic sides of the case fit pretty tight to the body of the phone. This is nice as it makes the screen easy to see, however it also makes the volume and power buttons on the sides of the case difficult to press. I was trying to use the case to take underwater photos and video and because you can not use the touch screen when underwater I mapped the volume down button to the camera shutter, but it was difficult to press this button when the phone was in the case.
4. When the headphone/microphone jack inside the bag is connected to the phone any sound you record with a video will not be recorded since I assume the internal microphone is disconnected. So if you want sound with video you would need to either not plug in the internal cable or connect an external mic. Not a big deal for shooting underwater but if you are going to be moving between above and below water you may want to just leave this cable disconnected.

Anyone seen or tried this pouch?

I like that it has both an armband and lanyard.

I have been able to swim around in the pool, go underwater and still hear my music, can make calls too, need to keep the mic out of the water, otherwise they cant here you.
Also , FYI, when you are under water, you cant use the phone well, it just wont pick up your print.

I have decided to start surfing and never go anywhere unless I have my phone and headphones. I have been debating on ordering this. http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=350585644786 I think music might help with the frustration of learning.

How do you get the headphone line out of the OB pouch? The one with integrated headphone jack looks interesting. Maybe the Note-sized pouch is big enough for a S3 with a Ballistics case. Worth a try?

I forgot what its called but I seen a website that will take apart your phone and water proof the components so you don't have to have a waterproof case on. Just take the bare phone swimming with you n you're good

Since always, if you get away with it though then enjoy

Btw this case is horrible dont waste your money back button takes forever to respond to your touch if it responds at all , the touch sensitivity sucks , the only way you can talk to people is on speaker phone ,
When you try to talk to someone on the phone they can hardly hear you , and when your listening to them best way to describe it is they sound like robots
When you watch tv or your phone rings the sound is so muffed and distorted it vibrates the phone
Just prove that I actually do have this case pictures attached lol

Honestly, I only used this for when I went to the beach, pool, etc. I could never use this as an everyday case. However, I love this case for its intended purpose. It keeps the sand out and water out. I use it to take pictures underwater while snorkeling and it works great.

I am already looking on swappa.com for a new one. I also called the renters policy to see if they cover it if it was Stolen we shall see what they say

When Seidio had their February giveaways I decided what the heck and posted on their blog. Lo and behold I won a free case. Now that I've had it for a couple weeks I figured I'd share my thoughts. Yes it's a beefy case, and it has protected against a few falls already. Some people say it's too "blocky", to each their own I guess. They (Seidio) say the audio is unaffected by the membrane, it definitely is, but is greatly improved with the bottom flap open. The screen protector is great. Nice and smooth, the dots that people complain about are quite visible at some angles, but never really bother me. The back button is tricky at times being in the corner where it is, but the menu button which is in the same "situation" seems fine. Touch sensitivity seems fine, rarely do I notice skipping swipes or missed taps. Dragging down from the top is fine from either side of the speaker cover. Speaking of that speaker, I haven't really noticed much difference on calls, maybe a little muffled but not much. No echo a few people mention and I seem to sound fine at the other end. All in all I like the case, it's not perfect, but a good compromise for the protection.

I just bought and started using this case and so far I really like it. Yes, sound is a little muffled but far from unusable, and the screen protector is great. I read lots of reviews and many said the screen was unresponsive and the menu and back buttons were hard to use...I say bull honkers to that. I'm not sure what those people are doing but the screen works without any issues and its actually better than the lifeproof case I had been using.
It's not any more bulky than a defender or the puregear case I had before, it doesn't feel overly large or bulky and it actually looks pretty good IMO.
It's not for everybody but if you want great protection don't be scared off by the negative reviews. I'll post up pictures of mine when I get the time and ill post back after I've used it a little while but initial impressions are really good.

Here's a somewhat long term use update, after a few weeks of use now I still really like this case. It is definitely "installation sensitive", I've opened the case a couple times now and if I follow the exact procedure and take my time things sound fine, but a couple times I've rushed the installation and the phone sounded terrible afterwards. It seems to be dependent on how the phone's microphone lines up with the openings in the case, apparently if you don't position the phone just-right the microphone will be covered and make you sound like Charlie Brown's teacher - wah wah wah...
When it's installed right things are great, and 3 days now it's saved my phone. I got caught in a down pour on my way home from work one day on the motorcycle, the phone would have been ruined without this case. Seidio has a 20% discount code somebody posted in another thread so now would be a good time if you want one.

iFace Anti-shock Case

What do you guys think?
Here's a link to the shop on ebay: Link.
I'm looking for something a little stylish in design and came across this.
I'm trying to favor Form over the actual function of a case. I'm almost tempted to get this one, but I wanted to see what others had as an opinion on it.

This case looks very similar to the iOttie Macaron case (see here)
If it is similar to that case as in feel and fit for the phone then I will buy this case immediately. I loved my iOttie for my iPhone 5 when I had it.

im really digging this case. might get it when funds arrive lol. anyone wanna buy a cruzer lite case? lol

I got my case in the mail over the weekend. I'll post pictures later.
Overall, it's very nice. The grip feels very good in the hand, and the case itself makes a perfect fit around the phone. The buttons aren't too tight like I've seen on other cases, but they make good enough contact that they work with every press. I'd even go as far as saying that pressing the buttons in the case feel more tactile than pressing the buttons on the phone itself.
My one complaint has to do with the rounded back. Oftentimes when I'm at restaurants or sitting at my desk, I'll set my phone on the table to use it. The rounded back makes the touch screen awkward to use as the case tends to slide the phone around a bit, or spin in place. I'd also gripe that the "iFace" logo is upside down when the phone is in proper landscape mode for camera use. No big deal though.
I got my case in the Android shade Lime-green color, but it comes in many different colors.
Also, Shipping took exactly two weeks for me, but YMMV.

It's not a whole lot to look at, but hopefully it helps. Excuse the orange paint stains on my kitchen counter. It's really bothering me in these pictures.
The back. Ample enough protection for the camera lens.
Spoiler
I really like the rounded contours along the perimeter of the phone. it feels good in the hand. It's got a soft rubbery grip. I actually nearly dropped my phone while taking one of these pictures, luckily for the grip...I managed to catch it in time.
Spoiler
The space for the MicroUSB and 3.5mm jack: Could be a bit tight for some, but works for all of my cords. My largest USB has quite a snug fit.
Spoiler
EDIT:WHELP, spoiler tags don't work like I assumed. Also, If you notice the ruler in the background, I was going to try and get some measurements, but a paper ruler doesnt do me very good when trying to figure out a difference between a couple milimeters. As far as thickness goes, the case doesn't even add a full milimeter. The sides are a bit of a different story, due to the rounded edges.

iFace case is strongly recommended for the Optimus G. It is very good quality with excellent grip.
Here is a link;

I've had a number of....accidental drop tests. This is truly a great case. The rubber bump-edge really does an excellent job protecting from falls. These aren't just little baby falls either, for instance, last night, my poor little phone fell from my hand, about 5 feet onto hard brick flooring. I've yet to acquire a single scratch anywhere on my phone!

I don't know. It depends on when did you order it, when was it shipped.

A lot of people had issues with that cover scratching the back of their phone, maybe they changed the desing a li'l bit to fix this. I Have it and my phone is scratch free. Lucky Me I guess????

Ive had issue with those stains too, what pissed me off is this case also made a faint scratch on the top right body part (near front camera lens). Anyway, anybody have ideas on how to remove this scratch mark??

Yes, I've tried to erase it. Won't come off. Also tried soap and water, alcohol... no results. This is frustrating, my phone looks so old.

I've noticed it is not compatible with skins or more importantly (and practical), screen protectors.
It only works with screen protectors if you cut them which is pretty hard to do. I stopped using mine because of this..

IMO Gorilla Glass is quite reliable, so I'd rather protect the body (which dents/scratches fairly easily) than the screen.

Also got the "Double Dip" case. Mine is exactly.. 2 days old and i already got alot of stains on top.
Tried everything to remove it, alcohol, industrial grade stain remover. nothing, i havent got the scratch problem but who knows that might turn up sooner or later....
Will resort into buying another TPU case or something, this is kinda frustrating none the less...

Better to have denim stains on your case than on your phone like I have. Using an eraser helped but didn't completely fix it.

I have stains on mine too. So frieking annoying. The phone looks dirty.
And btw.. The phone doesn't stain taking in and out of denims for me... I've tried without a case.. Only the case stains.

Try diluted chlorine bleach

Youtube retrobright. One part H2O2, One part Oxyclean, and a bit of starch. Expose to UV rays, boom. They use that stuff to clean sneakers and old video game consoles.
