Anybody used this?
I was looking at the Spigen one and came across this. The S3 is featured about half way through the clip.

I was holding back for one, I want one either all clear or the actual pebble blue colour (blue/silver streaks) and this seems the closest by looking at the link.
i'm not sure if it's a full coverage, even if it's 1-2mm off the edge, it's fine with me, as long as it's the stated colour, as it should look OK.
BTW i made the last purchased.
He relist them just now. I went ahead and purchased one. Recently bought the DBA real class feel platic screen protector, pretty disappointing, rainbow streak and only cover the display portion...oh well lesson learned, hopefully this will be much better
Looks like the glue is only on the edges like on the SGP. Can anyone confirm?

the whole thing has adhesive, not just the edge.
So sick of buying different protector...I think this is my 4th one, and hopefully the last one on my search to the perfect protector. Everything looks good, let's hope it doesn't have the proximity issue, dots matrix effect or touch issue...

I can't comment on the proximity issue, this protector is clear, no dot's, that xgear failed sample, and because this screen protector is adhesived with the whole screen, i'm sure it's ok with sensitivity, but let just wait and see for the actual item once we get it.
I thought the protector has a blue cutout similar to the Spectre one? Guess we'll find out soon enough, from the pictures on Ebay, the pebble blue cutout look the most like OEM color (blue with silver streaks)

if you look at the one of the diagram, the one with a star pointing to the screen, you can read the first one as full attachment..
edit:
when I say clear, I mean the screen part without dot, sorry for the misunderstanding.
I actually would prefer it if this product does not cover the screen entirely. I am currently using the Spigen Neo Hybrid case and it does cover the edge of the screen a little.

I think this protector leaves the edge uncovered.

Only a glass protector is an option for me now, all others are a waste of money.

I have a few of my users (yes IT manager here) asking if there is a physical keyboard for the s3 that is integrated with a case. They want the equivalent of this:
http://www.amazon.com/Ultra-thin-Sliding-Bluetooth-Keyboard-iPhone/dp/B0054KMWF2/ref=sr_1_3
They all know that any bluetooth or keyboard can work with it, they just wanted an integrated version as they prefer a bulkier s3 vs separate items.
I've looked around a bit and couldn't find anything, does anyone know where I might be able to find one? Or perhaps know a company that is making one now?
Thanks!
There are none :/

I think there are..but no idea how you would get one.

I've often wanted something like this when I need to answer a bunch of emails when I'm out and about. There are a bunch for iphones, but I've yet to see one to fit an Android device. It seems like if any phone would get one, the GSIII might. I've also wondered why nobody can seem to make the slider keyboard with an interchangeable TPU case to fit different models.

On eBay I came across this,
it's not really fit like the slider you mentioned though.
You know why you can't find one?
because it would make the camera useless, and severely diminish the speaker.
no-one has made a small enough keyboard to not cover them. the closest anyone has gotten is that computer generated render, in the previous posts that is not for sale.
it WILL happen.. just wait.

That's neat, but i wonder if the "hinge" can hold itself up
---------- Post added at 02:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:43 PM ----------
maybe someone needs to make a Gameklip-style thing, but for holding these micro-bluetooth keyboards (patent pending )
What would seem more practical and allow use of everything is the keyboard folding down. When it is closed laying against the screen with a flap or something separating keyboard and screen. You works have a full keyboard and since Bluetooth the keyboard could be used with other phone with the same case. Any case makers watching here... do it live. I've thought about it for over a year. I also have a good idea for amplifying phone speakers with battery any bulk. It works to made myself one.

It probably will (the hinge) hold, got a case from ebay and it was daaamn tight, surprisingly, it is still holding pretty good.

Like these?... http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trk...kw=galaxy+s3+keyboard+case&_sacat=0&_from=R40
The only concern I'd have about these is that they seem to just have a "soft" hinge (ie. just the material), so it probably wouldn't support itself. Something like this would be great though if it was a hard case (think Nintendo DS), as it would protect the screen when closed.

Not a good answer, but you can get a simple OnTheGo USB cable, and plug any USB keyboard in. Handy if you are going to do a lot of work on the phone. Not that you would carry a USB keyboard around.
FYI ele-boat says it'll be available for purchase November 10th.

Got my nexus today and the official quick cover I ordered came with it too, even though the order indicated part dispatch. I had assumed this meant the case had been delayed.
Have to say it is a very nice case, feels great, nice snug fit and it is really thin. While it is still bedding in the front flap is lifting slightly when closed (see pic) but I am sure this will give a bit in the next few day's.
Not worth £35!!!!! But it is a nice case. If the spigen one is as nicely made (seem to be looking at pics and reviews) then it will make them a bargain
Nice, but I REALLY miss the Nexus sign from the back...

Was in new gadget blindness mode and didn't really think about the cost, at £35 it is a bit too much.
I reckon at that price the hole punch cut out for the notification light should go for about £4 on eBay

You had me going there for a moment - I had to reach all the way past my keyboard at work to test your theory.
Phew, I am not an idiot after all, although most of my daily actions would prove otherwise, LGoogle have forgotten to poke a hole in their case!
I will have to ring them and see if they can mail me a hole upgrade? If the makers of polo mints can remember to put holes in their products, I don't see why LGoogle can't
What do you think Google will charge me for postage on a hole?
I really like it but to bad the nexus logo on the back is lost
Id love to get this but losing the nexus logo is a no go for me. I think ill just buy a real bumper.
Does that mean that the front flap isn't magnetized? I'd heard it was and that when you open it, it unlocks your screen.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
I have the case as well myself. The flap IS magnetised. The magnet is actually located above the volume buttons, so that when closed the magnet touches the screen glass over the volume buttons.
And I agree, while the case is nice, it definitely isn't worth £35, more like £15 and that's pushing it.

Ok...how did you guys get the case? When I look in the Google Play store, it says "coming soon". I'm in Canada (eh?) and never have any issue purchasing other stuff. I got the white Nexus 5 and thought the white flipcase would look SIC!!!
I received my Quick Cover with my Nexus 5 on Monday. First time I have used a case like this and I must say I am impressed. It feels premium (perhaps not £35 premium) and does not add as much bulk to the phone as I expected.
I for one am glad it has no notification light hole as the light used to wake me in the night on my bedside table.
One question to any other owners, is the rear too thick for wireless charging to work?

What happens if the flap is closed, you receive an incoming call and open the flap? Does that automatically answer the call? What happens to a call when you close the flap?
Thanks for your feedback.

Opening the flip just turns on the screen. All it does is it saves your pressing the power button. You still have to swipe to unlock if you have it turned on, still have to enter your unlock code etc. When there's an incoming call, after opening the flip you still have to swipe to answer/reject/silence the call. And closing the flip doesn't end calls either, it just turns off the display, or the speaker hole on the flip would be pointless.

It's fairly easy to get the phone in and out. If you insert the case one side at a time its really easy. I normally insert the phone in from the left side then once that's in, clip the right side it. Getting it out is the same thing just in reverse. The support on the case is tough but does have a bit of allowance to allow the phone to come out.

Been using it for a few days now and haven't had any problems with it.
No movement from the phone once it's in the case. It's a hard case support thats made especially for the Nexus 5 so once the phone is in won't be going anywhere.
Hope that answers your questions.
One other question: does qi charging work with this case or is it too thick?

Seconded. This looks like the best case with an autowake cover. But it's also the only one that's not available in North America
I was curious about this wake n sleep function and played with a magnet on the phone, the sensor seems to be on the top left corner of the screen. Might glue a thin magnet into the cheapish pink wallet case my gf got for her N5 to ad this feature :good:
Where can or will Americans be able to purchase this? This case seems to be the best option and I only use wallet cases.

I have one that's similar:

The only issues are (1) doesn't work with a car mount as is a frequent case problem and (2) the phone seems to get hotter with a wireless charger than the phone gets without the case on.
I'm assuming if you have this case, you have your phone in your jacket pocket.
I'm also a bit worried about the magnet for the flap, wouldn't it demagnetize your cards?

Not really strange. The NFC chip in the case triggers Sense6 in the phone to activate the Dot View mode that's built into Sense6. Other cases without the specific NFC chip would not trigger that mode in the phone.
And to view the effect toast an NFC chip with the dot case details and voila

Interesting, at first I figured there was no way they'd bring the case to the M7, since it's a pretty strong selling point for the M8. At $50, I'd probably wait to find a good deal on eBay, but I definitely want it.
Can anyone tell me how exactly it uses NFC? I thought the NFC on the M8 was the same place as the M7 - near the camera. I was told that's why there's a little plastic line between the camera lens and the plastic strip because NFC can't penetrate the metal shell very well. That's where my NFC triggers best, anyway.
So if the case goes around the phone, it could use NFC to tell the phone that the case is on, but there's no way of using NFC to know when the case is open or closed. Surely that has to be magnetic. Also, my experience is that if you have an NFC tag permanently against the phone, it prevents it from using the NFC for anything else - so using the case would knock out your NFC.
Dot View would be awesome if HTC had used an AMOLED screen, but it seems to just be a battery-hog on an LCD. The entire LCD must be "on" and using battery, even if 90% of the pixels are black so I would never dream of having my screen lit up whilst the case is closed. If it was AMOLED then we could have some nice MotoX style notifications, including a much more battery-friendly dot view.

The entire LCD must be "on" and using battery, even if 90% of the pixels are black so I would never dream of having my screen lit up whilst the case is closed. If it was AMOLED then we could have some nice MotoX style notifications, including a much more battery-friendly dot view.

I find it weird that it uses NFC. In my M7 if I put a nfc sticker over the screen, I can read it, so it can be possible, but if you open the case entirely, the NFC chip will get detected and turn the screen off, thinking the case is closed.
I think it's a magnet or something else than NFC
Maybe NFC is only for detecting the case. Not for the fuktion open/close. It's possible when the phone now (per nfc) that the case is on the phone that it works with the sensors. Like poket detection in some kernels.

I think it's fully possible on the m7. We only need a dev to activate the dot view mode manually

This. It uses NFC only for detecting that you have the dots view case.
So when you don't have the case on, it does not bring up the dots view for nothing.

i think it could just use the light sensor/Proximity Sensor? would the case cover these? NFC for initial Case detection.. Proximity sensor for open close of case detection

oh as a side note... I'm running ARHD 61.1 and when the phone is locked and i quickly go to the running services, i can see that DotMatrix service is running..
so ok this is a port from the M8, but it does get triggered when the screen is locked... just wonder what else needs to further activate the other functions in the service (probably NFC and I HOPE Proximity Sensor)
Even of you use a regular flip case dot view will be working but dot view will not launch beacuse digitizer will not be able to register touch inputs remember you need to double tap to activate dot view 3rd party manufacturers can easily make a dot view case nfc is not used there
Dot view can be ported to m7 all you need to do is use proximity sensor as magnetic switch but main problem is there is no dot view case that fits our device
Interesting that the Dots View app is compatible with my M7
