I really like that! Nice case! Wonder of they have it online yet.

Sweet im getting one tomorrow.

its a pop case i love them not as much protection as the tough cases but nice non of my store have them and there not on the site

My store just got them we only ordered 2 we didnt know what they looked like but it is nice the kickstand is a little flimsy but all in all best I have seen there are not many out yet.

well i thank you for posting atleast we know they are coming now i want protection for my 600 phone lol im sure they will come out with a case mate tough since there is a pop case i work ut and run with my phone so the protection is needed

That looks pretty bulky.. how does it feel in your hand
?
Tapatalkin' it from my Epic Touch 3g

I can't say say from this phone but the pop cases don't add much its like a speck candy shell but thinner to me its thinner then some of the thicker silicone and tpu cases but then again I like the casemate touch cases so thickness is nothing to me

It feels nice the grip is nice to have on the sides and the lip on the front is nice incase you want to lay it on its face it will not scratch the screen.

Every white case I ever bought turned colors the more I use it...have you noticed this yet at all...I'm going to have to check back in a few weeks with you to see.

I had a Case-Mate Pop case for my Nexus S 4G, and while it looks really nice, I would still prefer a case that can be removed more easily.
It was a pain to take off the case and then put the phone back into it. Since I have a spare battery for the GS II, I can see this being a problem. At least for me.
But it is a good case =\

Kick stand is nice, but the kick stand on this one looks cheap and to me it looks like it would break easy. What are your thoughts on this OP?

the lady in sprint had ZERO idea when i asled her about the casemate products lol

Ok guys update so far so good took it camping fri and sat used it all weekend.....no visible discoloration on white shell....the kickstand to me is flimsy a bit does what it is supposed to do...I think the it will last just as long as you don't put pressure on top of the case itself.
When I work on tuesday I will post the sku

Cheapest way to fix glass with hairline cracks

The glass on my T989 have had scratches for the last month. It hasn't gotten worse, but I really want to get it fixed, because its starting to really get to me. I'm weighing my options, it seems it would be too costly, and I plan on rather spending money on getting a SG3 at full retail. Should I repair this, and sell it, or sell it as is on craigs list? What would be the most cost effective way? I notice there are OEM original glass replacements on ebay for like 10-15 dollars but don't know how to replace it myself. How much would it be to get a professional to do it? What price would I be able to sell it at on craigslist just to sell it as is? I'm not sure what I should do, any suggestions would help. Theres like 6 hair thin crack lines spread in a circular pattern about 2 cm apart on the top half of the screen. Any suggestions appreciated thanks!

I have never tried it myself but I have heard that replacing the screen on most phones is not too difficult.

I dunno this one seems pretty darn hard. My Hd2 was a b**** since it needed soldering so instead of trying I just sold it

Ive been meaning to post up a tutorial but I did it for myself...it was simple but Replacing the screen on this phone for some scratches is not the best option though as its an expensive screen
Btw the screen and the digitizer are one peice... Or at least very well glued together
Isnt there some type of 'scratch filler' thing that you rub into the scratches?
Try on of these ideas

Are they scratches or cracks? Big difference.
I had a few thin, semi-deep scratches on my screen a while back. I put a dab of white, semi-gritty toothpaste on the scratches themselves, and buffed it into the scratches with a dry towel corner until all residue was gone, then repeated. Did it about 4-5 times and lines were almost entirely buffed out. Can no longer feel lines and can only see when looking extremely close for them. Phone smelled good to boot! Haha!
Cracks... that's a whole another issue.
Best,

Phone was plugged into my laptop and I was using it while I sat on the floor and the laptop was on my nightstand... I got up to close the laptop lid and it fell...unfortunately the corner of the laptop hit the screen... I spent 175 for the replacement screen and fixed it myself

Replacing the screen is very easy. There are tutorials online to follow. I've replaced my screen once, I think anyone can do it. Don't pay someone to do it.

I have the Black one on my Blue phone and am really happy with it. Eliminates the slippery feel the phone has and looks really nice.

how much did you get it?
and how is the quality? i find some in ebay but they look good in pictures but not sure if it feel cheap in real life cuz i got some case from ebay but most of them look kind of cheap and pretty much will lose color in few months or something

I have the cf backing which is supposedly the same material and the color of my jeans is already rubbing off on it

Oh man, i hope this doesnt happen to mine when it gets here. Super glue can save it though. How is the quality of it?
Sent from my SGH-T999

Mine seems to be fine, been using it for a week or so. The numbers are embossed and recessed, I bet I could pry them out, but they seem secure.
I would contact the seller and let him know your number fell off and ask for a new one.

The quality is all right, it is synthetic leather after all. But besides the fallen embossed character, it's a much better option than stock.

Be very careful when removing that cover from the phone.
Mine ended up being much more fragile than the stock cover and it cracked on me at the point where the camera cutout is.
No problems with the lettering on mine yet. But it spends most of its time in a case.

I haven't recieved them yet though they have shipped and shipped VERY quickly...may have them by the end of the week. I liked the price for them...no shipping wasn't free but I am getting both for $20 after everything.
I just couldn't decide between the Black or White for my White SIII...but I will update you all when I get them...along with Pics of a Black one on a White Phone.

waiting for the black pics on the white phone before i purchase

I didn't think I'd like the leather one but it looks nice. I noticed this thread was made early in the morning, then in the afternoon came the post about the letter falling out. That's horrible. I must have lucked out cause mine has been on my phone for nearly 2 weeks now, the only case it's got on it is a TPU bumper and my lettering looks as good today as the day I got it.

the black smooth leather one is beautiful.. feels great and way more grip vibe best hong kong 3 week shipping purchase ever lol

I got the carbon fiber one which is similar and almost all the lettering is gone within one day.

Anyone not have their SIII in a case?

Just curious. I got my SIII on the 29th and haven't bothered with a case yet. My previous phone was an archaic Motorola Razr V3m that I had for 5 years and in that time I only dropped it a couple times on the carpet, and once it hit my closet door track which did put a ding on it. I'm thinking of just forgoing a case.

Only have ghost armor in mine. No hard case.
Dropped quite a few times. Usually just the battery case pops off in the harder falls. One fall left an slight dent that I didn't even notice till later.
Have dropped on sides and front. No screen cracks yet. No scratches...only because of the skin that covers the full body.

Never bother with cases, bulky, ugly and unpractical. Had everything from a Nokia to iPhone 4s. Dropped all at least once when getting out of the car with my good luck none ever broke just a chip lol. However a screen protector is a must for resale value, most people don't care about the back.

I've just recently noticed that they're 3 dark spots behind the glass myself. I only noticed it while I was flashing a ROM and it got stuck on just a black screen but was still illuminated. Wonder what that can be. I haven't dropped this phone that i can recall.
As far as cases go, I normally don't buy them but i do have a TPU case for this phone that i put on every now and then

I have several of these dark spots at night while viewing stuff like an youtube video it can also be caused by pressure like lets say you've left it in your pocket and it may have gotten some pressure applied to it it can cause it also..

This was a common issue with the t989(s2) right out of the box it's a defect call T-Mobile and get a free warranty replacement. Probably shouldn't mention the drop although pretty sure that has nothing to do with it as I'm on my second s3 and they have both had dark spots. It took me three tries to get a perfect s2

Yeah I plan on keeping mine for a while at least when my manufactures warranty is coming to an end I'll have a legit reason to get a brand new/refurb phone.

Yea those dark spots were bad on the t989 actually very bad. The gs3 is a long way from that but this is definitely the result of their amoled screen

I'm using a D30 case from T-Mobile but I have never dropped my phone, I rarely leave it out unless it's on the charger when I'm in bed. I don't get how people don't protect their devices in some way.

The glass of this phone seems to cracked too easily, so I bought a case for this phone. This is the first phone I ever feel that need a case. I had the galaxy s and the iphone 4 and both were never in a case.

I bought the GS3 at full price no contract or upgrade, I'm not trying to tell anyone how to take care of their things but if anyone is willing to just throw away 650$ because not having a case on their device is restricting then my hands are willing to catch it lol.

Note feels so much better without a case.

My friend told me he don't need a case on his note 2 because it feels awesome without it. He kept insisting he is careful and don't need one, even though I recommended him to use a case. Few weeks later he msged me i need of how to back up / restore contents to a phone. I'm sure you can guess how this story went.

Oem case is pretty awesome. Protects agile giving it the naked look.

I've used cases since my Nokia 5120 days. You can baby your phone all you want but you can't account for pure accidents. You might be holding it when some kid barrels into you from behind, causing your phone to go flying onto the concrete. Plus there's normal wear & tear to worry about too- you may *never* drop it but no device is going to remain pristine after 1-2 years of daily use. You WILL get scratches, rub marks, chips, etc.
I refurbish phones for a living & I can always tell who's used a case & who hasn't, even if there aren't any obvious signs of a drop. We get SO much more money for phones that were kept in cases, in fact half of the jobs I do consist of swapping good components into non-wrecked housings.
I dunno, it's all about choice, but you'll never catch me without a case. Too much here worth protecting, IMO.

What if you don't need to trade in your phone or re sell it to buy the newest phone? I usually always give my old phone to my nieces, nephews, or a family member.
I've never really used a phone case, and all my phones have always been in excellent condition. Of course, back in the day I'd have a phone clip on, but that was during the motorolla days.

It's like what's the point of having a nice slim phone when your just gonna slap a hefty case on it. Idk, I guess it's all personal preference.
