lol looks badass..... give it some time im sure will have one soon......... mayb

Keep in mind any metal battery 3rd party battery door will loose all NFC and QI wireless charging. Since u cant even find a good case from the BIG case vendors dont be sad if you never see a metal door. Im so Pissed a LG for not giving this phone more attention so companies like Seidio and otterbox start making cases. There is no commercials on tv about this device at all. Samsung is all over the TV. Im keeping my G Pro until the note 3 comes out. I dont want to go back to a note 2 when the note 3 will be out in under 4 months. Another bad thing is no ROM support. I wish the HTC ONE was at least 5" and I would of gotten it. The S4 looks nice but im too use to 5.5".

This is going to sound weird. I'm kind of glad that there aren't many cases for this phone because I'm a case whore!!! I have 7 cases for my nexus 4 for crying out loud. Not to mention the ones for my previous lgog, GS3, Xperia ion, Gs2 and infuse. Don't know why I still have them. I have almost 40+ cases sitting upstairs. I think I'm a horder?!

I would agree. Your a case whore. LOL. Sell some cases. Your like me. I have 3 at the moment for the G Pro. I had a dozen for my Nexus 4. Like 4 different colors for my Note 2.

Skinomi makes quality products! I had their carbon fiber wrap for my old Asus Transformer Infinity tablet & keyboard. Not only was it gorgeous but, I never had issues with it. Just takes patience to fit on the curved sections of a product. That being said, since I use a case it doesn't bother me not having a metal battery door of some sort although that HTC One looks gorgeous from the factory!

Lifeproof case for S3?

So after going to my local ATT corp store and seeing this case it looked pretty interesting. Do they only make cases for the iPhone? Tried doing some research and found nothing! Only iPhone cases.
Iphone and Ipad only. I would definitely be in for one for the s3 if the decided to make it though.

Thanks for posting that link. I have wasted lots of $$$ on screen protectors because I never liked how I applied them. No matter what I do, i get dust/bubbles, and all sorts of other issues. That roll-on screen protector is going to save me so much money and pain/anger.
If you have a hard time with screen protectors you should go check out ghost-armor.com . I have my phone wrapped in clear with a second layer of white carbon fiber, they will do the whole installation for you and they even covered my flygrip in white carbon fiber as well
My S3 gets me Blazed
Otterbox is coming out with a similar case called the Armor. Its been announced for the iPhone, but if anybody would build a non-apple version it would probably be them. I would consider asking them.

Sorry for the double post forgot about this one haha but how well does this protect the phone? I notice most wraps/full body ones such as zaggs leaves the top pretty unprotected. Same with slickwraps. Any idea how ghost armor compares?

Doubtful, Otterbox has their collective head so far up apples ass that it's not even funny. They couldn't even produce a case for the S3 release even though this phone has sold millions already.
I emailed Otterbox earlier to ask them about the Armor case. They don't have plans to make it for any other phones... iPhone only.

They could easily sell 100k cases for the s3 (10M sold so far).
I would buy it immediately
I would jump right on that as well. They did have a post on their site a few months back that they were working on coming out with cases for Samsung phones. It would seem that the s3 should be at the top of the list when they do.
It would be nice to have for kayaking and snowboarding, nice for listening to music in the shower too!
I bought the otterbox commuter with an hd invisishield and loved it. Then upgraded to the defender and while I like the defenders premise.. I hate that I get dust under the screen cover through the miniscule opening at the top where the front facing camera and ear speaker is. I may go back to the commuter and hd screen.

Galaxy S3 iPhone 4/5 style case?

Was wondering if there are any cases of the S3 that mimic the design of the iPhone 4/5? I recently got the S3 & I miss the iPhone's build quality & wanted a case that had the exact design or something very similar.
If anyone has link to any, i'd appreciate it.
Thanks.
Not exactly iPhone specific but sexier looking cases in my opinion:

I've already visited those sites before. The only thing closest to it would either be the element case which hasn't been released yet for the S3 or the Draco bumper, but the price & the fact that you lose signal is drawing me away from it.
Thanks for the links anyway.
^Lol this. Its much simpler than hoping for a case that looks like an iPhone. Haven't seen anyone make cases to mimic phone designs, BTW.

yeah. you're best bet would be a company that makes cases for iphone as well as the gs3. even that would be a stretch. try looking at the uag, rokbed and puregear cases, or the mfit bumpers. good luck.
Sell your S3 and buy a Goophone I5 it has Android OS and iPhone design.
According to Apple, Samsung devices have the same design so you still basically own an iPhone

+1 lulz
Coming from iphone4,you should be no stranger to signal/reception problems.... Remembering the "grip of death" fiasco back in 2010. Only this time the bumper will degrade signal strength rather than improving it. Sorry.... Cheap jab at apple. I just couldn't let the opportunity to get a jab in on apple pass. Really though, welcome to android!!

Well seems like there isn't a case like it, but does anyone know of any metal bumpers similar to the "Mobicrab" one (with flat edges/corners) like the one reviewed here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1871606) but for a cheaper price?
you may get to know something on quicksand case,which have style for iPhone 4/5,nothing case could be such a perfect match on Galaxy S3 and iPhone 5....(have no idea how come can't I upload photos??)

Duracell powermat case review!

The other powermat thread was so cluttered up with extraneous crap I decided to post here
I wanted to get rid of wall warts with our two phones, 2 tablets, Portable speaker, Nintendo DS, iPod etc... I bought this:
Powermat home/office from amazon. Sadly, the 1A output does not work on the galaxy tab 10.1 or the HP touchpad.
plus another pair of the universal pucks. cost me $45 total delivered. the kit in the link came with 8 or 9 tips.

I looked at the back from Verizon for my AT&T phone but it was noticeably thicker than standard and my spiegen cover would not fit over it, plus it ONLY works with QI which is NOT part of this powermat. I even took my mat into the verizon store to test and it didnt work. UGH. well, i knew Duracell was working on the case so I stuck with it.
Ordered my case yesterday Directly from the Duracell-Powermat webiste and it arrived today! yay for being close to Memphis.
to put the case on, line up the USB plug to the phone and insert it, once in, tilt phone back into the case and slide rubber molding around the top. to remove, hole the top corner edge with your fingers and push on the flash area with your thumb.
First impressions, I like it. it fits really good. id say 1/8th of an inch thicker. Really not bad at all. the case has a very good feel to it and the buttons work well underneath it. the Pass thru USB works perfectly and YES it does read my TecTiles. that said they pickup best when placed between the Powermat Logo and the camera Lens. but they work every time. All nfc functions work great. Also the powermat will turn back on a charge the phone up more if need be. Charging is very fast at 1.0amps. Faster than the wall wart it came with.
it is backwards compatible with all powermat products. so you dont need the new white ones.
sent from my Galaxy with Tapatalk 2
Not bad, $35 for the case and $25 for the power mat. Just when i thought i was done buying accessories for my phone
Looks like it wont work with MHL
I have one question inly. Does this have a batter in it? I doubt it because i believe its just a wireless charging enabler. Would be sweet if it had a battery in that bad boy for backup power that would wirelessly charge on the mat.
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
Nope. No battery in the case. Just a wireless charge ability. I'm quite pleased with it several days in. Just wish it was blue like my phone.

Those other post were in defense of the product you bought. I was showing that they weren't as good a Product as the Powermat.

Does it replace the battery cover or can it fit over the original?
Does it replace the battery cover or can it fit over the original? I'd get this case if i could just slip it on over the phone without having to completely replace the battery cover.
yes. this is a Case that slips on over the phone. protects pretty good to so far for me.

Premium Tablet "Bags"

Hey guys..
Been looking around for a while now, and I'm trying to see if I can find anything like a "messenger bag" but for tablets or specifically for the Nexus 7. Here's one example i found:
http://www.sfbags.com/products/muzetto-outback/muzetto-outback.php
But I'm not quite sure I like the design of that one much. Does anyone know of any other bags like this for carrying around my Nexus 7 and other things?

I had been considering a bag just for my N7 but i also carry a 13.3 zenbook around sometimes so having a separate bag might be overkill. I see here that you were looking at a vertical bag in the 10 inch size for ipads. I have an STM Scout 2 that i used with my Asus TF101+keyboard dock that i'm quite fond of. It seems STM has a newer bag with more pockets:
STM Linear Bag
Maybe that might be a more fitting design. I find that around these sizes is the smallest you can get without looking a bit silly.

Sometimes it's more convenient to have something you want than have. It's like putting a iPhone in a pouch made for a note 2. It fits but not the way you want.

Think of it as you will...But I do not currently have any "bags" to place my Tablet in. I've never owned a tablet before, nor do I use any laptops. I have my Desktop and my smartphone...And my smartphone usually just goes into my pocket..And while the N7 does fit into most of my pockets, it isn't exactly ideal.
So if anything's silly...It's that you think this thread is silly.

It was, stuffed with a Patagonia Nano Puff pullover, a flask of Blanton's bourbon, a Samsung Infuse, a DT Windstopper balaclava, and some snacks, in addition to what it normally carries.
Usually it just carries my lunch and the emergency field gear.
Looking into a Plan B from Hazard 4:
Swissgear Vertical Travel Bag
I use the SwissGear Vertical Travel Bag. I don't know if Target still carries them or not, but this is a great bag. You will want a case on your N7 as it does not have much padding. I can just fit my Asus Tf300T with a case and my N7 in this bag with several accessories. I bought it a few years ago, so it may be hard to find.

Real wood backed cases

So I saw this on Amazon and am very tempted to check it out. Some reviews for an older version say its not very well made but this looks like a revised version. Anyone got one? Love the official wood backs on the moto x but they aren't available in the UK.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00HFFY05Y/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_m0e4sb0YAV16X
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41E7ft6HcZL._SL500_.jpg
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/810qJa9x8GL._SY600_.jpg
So my case finally arrived from boxwave. Its very well made, it has a silky texture on the plastic edges and the back has a rubbery feel texture over the bamboo. All the cut outs are precise and neat, boxwave logo even looks pretty good. It snaps firmly onto the phone and I think it looks really premium.
The plastic is slightly raised above the screen at the front, leaves the top and bottom open like a lot of hard cases.

So I saw this on Amazon and am very tempted to check it out. Some reviews for an older version say its not very well made but this looks like a revised version. Anyone got one? Love the official wood backs on the moto x but they aren't available in the UK .http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00HFFY05Y/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_m0e4sb0YAV16X

Ha very true! Also I read that all bamboo dies after about 10 years because it is degraded from the inside out by a fungus.
Wish someone would make a oak or beech back...

Wow, didn't know that. Learn something new every day.
I'd go for Cocobolo Burl. Coolest looking wood I've ever seen. Of course it's super rare and probably costs more than gold haha.
Yeah that stuff looks amazing! Very regal, type of thing you'd find on a baroque period dresser or something. I think really I want a moto X but moto maker (which you use to order custom colours and wood backs) is USA only right now.

Yeah, if they made a case out of that, I would jump on it so quickly.
I want to like Motorola, but after the hellish experience/treatment/neglect/no updates/etc I had with the Atrix 4G, where they just abandoned it after less than a year and pretended it didn't exist.... I don't think I'll ever buy another Motorola phone ever again. That cost so much (bought outright) and was so disappointing, it just turned me off to them (they do have the best USB cables out there though!).
