I have a good friend who decided to help me out and do some custom painting.
The paint is very low odor and after about 48 hours, there is hardly any lasting odor of the paint. Each door will be custom painted once the order is placed.
There is a purple, white, hammered copper, hammered silver, and a rubber black.
The rubber black is quite nice in that you could set on your dash and it does not slip easily, unless you drive like me
I am working on a glow in the dark cover as well. That should be done this week sometime. The first attempt did not go well and showed some markings that honestly I was not happy with.
What are your thoughts?
mmm... i got a blue evo door from there. Arrived with a bunch of the tabs broken. Oh, and with a scratch.
nice selections! i ordered clear n yellow before and fits very well. at first had some minor problems but with directions provided, it was easy. i may be interested in the rubber black. glow in the dark sounds..fun
Anybody try RIT Dye? Worked like a charm on the touch pro...
i think the paint jobs on these look amazing.
however
with absolutely no offense to joey, who spent a lot of time designing and working on the case, they have a sizeable gap between the new back and the case. its isn't too big but it is big enough to let dirt/dust/pocket lint, etc, into the phone and for that i cant get any of these.

you should send me a picture of the tabs so I can send you another one. As for the scratch, thats odd because they all come in plastic wrap and a bubble envelope.
I would buy them all of they didn't have the rail or center strap hole.

Also no offense to Joey but I had to steer clear of these because of the gap. Active lifestyle with my phone living in my pocket means lots of dust and lint to contend with. If something changes and these gaps get fixed up, I will be on board for several of these doors.

The case I tried was a gel type case, it worked good over the door.
So is there plans for a new door? Same stuff without rails or center lip and no gaps? I would also like red without the shiny finish. Something like stock black's material would be perfect. Your doing well from the looks of it.

short answer is no. no way I could afford a remold of the door. If you remember, we (XDA members) all pulled our resources and did a group pre-buy.

Bought one of your Hand Hammered silver backs and a free blue cover.
Already have a couple of clear, one I etched and painted - other is virgin on my BF's evo.
BTW - you can make some adjustments to the clips to make it fit near perfect.
pretty sweet dude, i wouldnt mind giving mine a paint job one of these days
The phone is conspicuous enough without it being "Apple white" as well.. I would have preferred a dark one. So I ordered a cheap black gel case until I got the skin decals in the mail today.....
Since I did not want to go through the trouble of a trade I found this site and they have some very nice skin decals. Especially since I don't like cases of any kind (or "screen protectors' for that matter).
They have matching lock screen jpg backgrounds as well (although I didn't go that far). The skins apply VERY easy and no bubbles and cheap enough to replace when they get eventually get messd up from carrying in pockets.

Here are some pics of the design I chose. The cut is good. My application a tad rushed LOL.... But NO bubbles. The way they design these decals makes installation easy, FAR easier than screen protectors which I stopped using a long time ago.
Looks cool, but i think gelaskins looks better but its more expensive.
Maybe ill order one skin

Yeah Gelaskins do look better and the customization and the ability to use your own artwork or photos is cool, but my phone is not really a fashion statement. In fact I want to keep it low key which is the reason i am using a dark skin..(makes the phone appear smaller) I just wanted to cover up the white as cheap as possible and keep it reversible.
Thanks for the site! I was looking a Gelskins myself, but 15 bucks seemed a little steep for some ink and gloss, and 2 weeks shipping? No thanks. I got myself 2 for the price of one at decalrus...mad awesome!

Garbage Pail Kids?! SWEET!!! Although Im personally not a fan of these GelSkin type things Id LOVE to see some pics if this...
Man does that bring back some childhood memories...
Somewhat off-topic...
I originally searched High and Low for a White International Note, and was willing to pay a premium. Just when I was about to pull the trigger, I saw a local guy selling a Black Note on here for a decent price... ended picking up the Black and buying a White AT&T Note on a free upgrade my dad had - boy was I glad... In pics, the white looks gorgeous but for everyday use, i'm glad I ended up with a black!

I can hook you up with this lol, however right now I am at work and I cant use my phone to take pictures of my phone. Ill get back to you later tonight.
I stumbled upon mytrendyphone (just add www and .com) whilst searching for skins for the Note, since i don't want to order things from overseas.
just thought i should let you guys know
I have used many gelaskins on many different devices. Their quality is the best. Decalgirl I would rate second best. Plenty of choices.
Another thing I like about the decalrus and decal girl ones are the full front covers, and not just two bars. Then, they also don't have the side stickies, and middle button one. Oh well, can't win 'em all!

Hey guys,
So a week ago i was planning on painting my car mirrors..but I didnt know if i was gonna like it...so I was looking for a cheaper solution...
On diferent car forums I found about this PLASTIDIP thing...so I went to hom depot and for 5 bucks picked me a can
Plastipid is actually like rubberising a surface...best part ITS NOT PERMANENT!!! so if i ever get bored i can remove it like removing glue from your hand
I decded to expand the use of it to my case..and man it looks AWESOME!..no more sliding ..super grippy and if u need a retouch just simply spray another coat
not sure how long it ll last but with a can u can do like 30 cases.. Enjoy!
This works also on phones as well ..BUT be very careful blocking everything from the front part..I would only do the back cover of it if anything
PD im not responsible if you mess up your phone/case
Here some people applied that to their winter wheel and it lasted the whole winter and it's still perfect so I wouldn't be afraid on the case.
That's a great idea, I might do that.

Ill have to wait a little before i can try that.

Reporting back..its been a couple days I'm finally fully used to the texture ..its still holding nice
Did a small drop test .no scratches on the case and it did a different sound when hitting the ground (due the rubberized texture )
I left the phone on my car by accident at 85 degrees here in Vegas...came back and phone was cool ..so the thingy helped with heat absorption ..

I was having extremely difficult time in choosing which color of the device to go with...
I've had White and Black iPhone 4s before and now I have the Black iPhone 4S.
Through out my life... I've only had black phones... and I felt like White was a refreshing changes.
So, when I actually wanted to go with the White Galaxy S3... T-Mobile was actually backordered with the White device. So I only had an option of Blue of 16GB.
Also, I did my extensive research on which case and stylus to buy as well... so I've finally managed to go with a perfect match for our beautiful pebble blue.
I went with Atomic Blue of Otterbox and the combo of Elago Stylus with Pen and a extra tip.
Otterbox Defender is a amazing case... Not only this make the phone almost indestructible and makes the phone feel like a phone (added weight)
Sure, this case will add bulk and weight to the device, but remember that accidents can happen and this case is a investment for those who are clumsy.
Also, I think the color balance between pebble blue and the navy and green color of the Otterbox case makes it very unique.
I hope you enjoy the pictures and feel free to ask any questions. Oh and I am still debating if I should go with White one still...
You guys can convince me to stick with the pebble blue, instead of white.
(I made a poll option to help me to decide if I should keep the blue or exchange for white)

I think blue is cooler. And it won't fade like white phones often do. What do you use the stylus for? I haven't seen the before

I'm using my stylus for s-memo. I was tempted to buy the galaxy note for T-Mobile, but I can just buy the stylus for my s3. It's not as accurate as the note, but it works! Best of all s3 is newer and faster!
So what do you mean by fading for white phones?

Very sharp! I have the same case except it is the Teal (ish, whatever color you'd like to call it) version of it. I have the White Galaxy S 3 in it and I like how it looks. I originally wanted the blue one, but after the employee there let me see both of them in my case I opted for the white. I'd post a picture but I'm not a the 10 post count lol.
How are you liking the stylus? Do they work well on the S 3 for actually writing and things like that?

I love it! It was only $12 @amazon. Honestly I bought this one over the other ones, because the feature of the built in pen and an extra tip as well. Also the color of the stylus (indigo blue) matches perfectly with the pebble blue s3.
Only downside would be when writing on s-memo its not 100% accurate. Meaning writing can be a little aliasing on the edges.
I tried comparing my girlfriend's galaxy note, this thing is super accurate (using s-pen) but using the elago stylus makes it aliasing as well. It's not a bad trade off. Can't complain for $12 and the quality.
I'd highly recommend it! 8/10 because of not being completely accurate.

Hey I have a few questions please about the Otterbox defender case :
- How much does it weight without the galaxy s3 in ? ( 80g, 100g ?)
- How thick is it ? ( add 1 cm to galaxy s3 or more ?)
- Does the screen protector built in can be replace by an other standard screen protect if it's damaged ?
Thank you.
Btw, it's look like a nice case !
Sorry for my english.

I've owned a few white phones in the past. After a year or so they just don't look so bright white anymore. Maybe that's not th case with the s3 but thwts why I personally stay away from white ones. That and white cars. They just highlight all imperfections and any dirt whatsoever.

Im not 100% sure how much it weighs. but it sure does add more weight to it. (I personally like heaviness of the phone)
Thickness is about twice as S3...
And screen protector is built in to the case itself... They are anti-reflection protector. You can take it out and use your own screen protector for problem.
The screen protector is there to be a protection from sand and etc...
I am not a fan of this screen protector, because it gives rainbow effect on the screen, but you'll be thanking this case when accident happens or when the sun is glaring on your phone.
I hope I've answered all your questions. Also, youtube has plenty video on the size comparison.

I never felt so dumb in my life. hahahaha
Yeah but in the pocket you feel it very well ^^ It's kinda big and take place.
I will see later if I buy it or not.

Thats what she said
I use the belt clip that came with Otterbox. It sure does look ridiculous on the belt... because it is damn big phone (although it's slim). But you know what, I've been told that the size matters
Anyways, you won't regret buying the Defender series... because Honestly, I think definer series offer better color options and it offers BETTER protection in real world.
Plus, $50 is pretty expensive, but getting from amazon... you can save about $20. so either way, you'll be able to save some money.
Keep us posted on which case you are going with... Also, I might buy SGP neo case, but I've been reading that these have problems with power/volume buttons... so I might skip and get the SGP thin air case instead. I will post up reviews and picture once all these cases arrive.
Also, I have Diztronic case as well (in matte blue). I will post a review and pictures up very soon!
Currently, I'm just with a cheap case from ebay and it fits quite well. I don't know if I'm ready to put 30/40 euros on a case by the way, quite expensive for a protection.
But don't worry, if I buy one, I will tell you
Edit: I just forgot to ask you something; some people said that there is a gap between the screen protector build in and the screen itself. Do you notice it or it was a random defect ?
Thanks.

I understand that you love you phone also, what color is your s3?
To answer your questions, yes that's definitely true. But, I have a extra screen protector on my phone itself.. (now I have to send it back for the dead pixels, and exchanging for the white one). I wouldn't go far as to say it's a defect, but the gap is VERY minimal. You'll be able to tell when you are just lightly tapping the touch screen. but it won't affect the sensitivity of the device itself.
If you don't like that, you can always remove the screen protector and use your own SP.
Also, I would like to know for those people who have voted for the poll.
Why did you guys vote for the white? instead of the blue?
Thanks for the answer.
I have a blue galaxy s3
im sort of annoyed how i browsed and browsed the cases suggested on this site, and read a LOT of the threads/pages...and people who got white cases, or had experience with them, never mentioned how the white will diminish and dis-color.
i have a nilkin case that was highly suggested here, so i got one from ebay for 10. case is exactly what i wanted, but after a few weeks i started to notice my white case turn a bit rusty-browny/ish. my otterbox iphone 4s case was white, and also picked up ink from jeans or something after so long. if i knew all of this i would have never gotten another white case... i figured the otterbox just picked up crap, and was willing to try somethin else light.

Whats wrong if he shared his experience. Isn't it one of the reasons to converge on the forums. His purchase was based at-least partly on research and recommendations here. It didn't pan out for him and he posted. You need to loosen up a bit
Yep.. white discolors, lesson of life lol.
the UAG might not discolor cause it has clearcoat on it (I think, right?)
As for rubber/silicone/TPU white cases, try a magic eraser.

If you don't like his post, dont read it, dont open it, just ignore it.
It doesnt violate any rules as far as I can tell, however your responses to him are borderline harassment
I too find it odd he did not realize white tends to get dirty. But now he knows, and maybe others out there didn't know but will see this thread now.
No big deal.

Its not a question of like/dislike or buyers remorse. If there is an issue with the product and/or its advertized features, then yes, I will gripe, be it a civic or a beemer or the might pencil. Of late , a lot of sellers who stand behind the quality of their products have some sort of active/passive monitoring on social boards (check Amazon/Newegg) for feedback on their products and sometimes that is the quickest way to a resolution.
ok i need to get over my wasted 10 dollars. you need to get over me complaining about it...if i was looking for a new car and read a lot of positive (biased) reviews about that car, i would want someone to share their good [AND] bad experiences of the car..lets say the car has no cup holders, and 99 percent of the posters failed to mention that..what if i drove long distances and needed cup holders? and you were the only one that mentioned it had no cup holders. --NOPE dont do that. you're whining and crying about it. (dumb example i know lol)
its 10 dollars, just like you said. not a huge deal, although a lot of cases are more 20-50 dollars. im not making a huge deal about it. i was just trying to warn other people. what if someone is hung up between two cases, and they cant decide which one. and maybe my thread helped them pick what color they would like a little more easier because they're not reading the same post over and over ("oh this case is good")
Just wanted to let you guys know, the back of your phone will get scratched if you accidentally drop it without a case on it. HTC didn't list this in their product description, So I am letting you know.
I've got an OEM Samsung white case on my Note 2 and it's it's fared very well. I've had it for months and it hasn't discoloured or gotten dirty. It all depends on the material that the case is made out of.
I'm looking for a case for the One that I have now and I've used a Nillkin case before and it was black and it was great.
I guess it also depends on how dirty your hands and pockets are too.
Wow. Y'all need to get your panties out of a wad and get off the OP's back. It was just a post letting ppl know his experience with the case. Go find your next victim. Geez. -_-

Well I have the nillkin white flip case for over a month now and it is fine. Granted it being white it does get dirty real fast so it needs cleaning constantly, I have been doing this and its been fine for me so far.

I'd tend to lean with the "what's the point" crowd on this one-- no offense, OP, but this is kind of par for the course with...well, anything white! Which really does suck, because I know a lot of people prefer that aesthetic-- personally, dark and understated colors have always done me better.
That said, I'd also echo the sentiment that it varies from case to case. $10 cases are just about always going to be a hit-or-miss-- for that kind of cost, it's unlikely that the manufacturer invested in quality materials, especially if plastics are involved. Those will discolor on contact with just about anything "unusual" in the environment. I don't think TPU cases discolor much though, so if you want a cheap white option you could look into one of those.
Of course, the worst case scenario with these is if discoloration happens outside of the return period.
Yeah, I tend to avoid white matte plastic cases. The polished ones don't stain quite as easily, but scuffs are very apparent.

im sort of annoyed how i browsed and browsed the cases suggested on this site, and read a LOT of the threads/pages...and people who got white cases, or had experience with them, never mentioned how the white will diminish and dis-color.
i have a nilkin case that was highly suggested here, so i got one from ebay for 10. case is exactly what i wanted, but after a few weeks i started to notice my white case turn a bit rusty-browny/ish. my otterbox iphone 4s case was white, and also picked up ink from jeans or something after so long. if i knew all of this i would have never gotten another white case... i figured the otterbox just picked up crap, and was willing to try somethin else light.

I got a white body glove case and it is still just as white as the day I got it...
sadly, my thread didnt reach the two members on this website that got the nillkin white case, and are now disappointed and wish they got something else, because their case as well yellowed.

Uh, umad bro? If you want to go hang your heads in collective misery, a PM would probably be a lot more efficacious.
Seriously.. how do people not know white gets dirty easily?
Heres a few more tips:
Matte/rough surfaces tend to get dirty easily and stain.
Glossy/smooth surfaces tend to be easy to clean off, the gloss is a clear coat that protects the paint under it. Stains usually just wipe off.
Light colors tend to get stained because they are light, so any dirt/dyes will show up very clearly.
Your jeans were made with a lot of dye, it is highly likely that your case will get stained by that too, especially if your jeans get a bit wet (due to the rain for example).
