I've seen that before. It's not a case. It's a screen protector with the Android sticker. Look at the picture carefully, there is nothing that indicates that a case is used, but you can tell there is a screen protector on. I've also seen those stickers around gmarket when I was looking around.

this is not an samsung official released

Screen
Hard to tell from your video, does it have any lip to lift the screen off of a table if it is set down on the face? I think I can see one, but you mention that it won't protect the phone at all if it is dropped on the screen, which tells me that it doesn't stick out at all.

No it doesn't have any lip to protect the screen, a nice feeling case but not one for protection.

Yes there is. It's not big lip but just enough to raise the phone that the screen doesn't touch the table when placed face down. And I think this provides protection to most vulnerable parts of the phone: corners.

Yes it does. I think it's stupid. And there's no real use for it either: With a coin in it's place, it's not something i'd call very stable, so i rather keep the phone in my hand or have it leaning against something. And the looks could be more like in the s2s version. Other than that, i think it's a great case and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a minimal case that doesn't add to much bulk.
P.S. Just got the official slim case today (yes, the twin pack), so we'll see which one do i prefer...

I should have a replica mesh case soon which doesn't have the coin slot. Think if the quality is good it should be a wicked case.
The slim cases are nice I think you'll like them

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.

[Q] Is It Plausible To "Sand" The Body Of The S3?

Long story short, I've got some minor damage to my S3 in which the paint has scrapped off. I see underneath it has a pretty sleek looking black body. I was thinking of getting some high grain sandpaper and just sanding the entire body down to the black. Possibly even getting a clear finish plastic paint and painting so it's smooth.
Do you guys think it's plausable? Anyone done this successfully?
Been thinking about doing it for a few weeks. Finally getting around to asking on here. Maybe I'll make it a weekend project..

I don't see why you couldn't as long as you didn't go crazy sanding it. I'd try on the battery cover first cause if it looks bad battery covers are only a few bucks on amazon.

I think op is talking about the bezel.
I personally wouldn't do it since the phone is basically plastic and glass. But hey, its your phone, do whatever you want to it.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

Why bother with all that?
Just buy a glossy black TPU cover for it. Pick one that's glossy black
The case will hide the damage perfectly and protect the phone from further bezel damage.
I like TPU over silicone because of its high gloss, low bulk and I can remove it easily from my pockets.

Yes, I'm talking about the entire phone (body and cover). It's not a lot of surface area to cover. I'm not talking about removing the glass and sanding down the front face.

I don't care about the damage, honestly, its' not bad. It's more for the look. As for TPU case....I HATE cases. I think they look ugly, regardless of how sleek they are. I like my phone to look the way it was designed.

So I was thinking about using 220-240 for initial sanding and then like 600 for smoothing.
My only concern is trying to find an effective way to cover the tiny space between the screen and the bezel. I don't want it to fill up with particles.

I didn't say you were going to remove the front glass. I said the phone is mainly made up of plastic and glass.

This case is sick. Best case I've seen for the M7. I've been caseless because the phone just looks better without one but I just ordered the black Trinity. Thanks for the linky my brotha.

I have one in red! It looks really nice and I love the look of the metal. The only issue I have is the silicone part isn't the most snug fit and sometimes an edge of the phone might come out of the case when I took it out of my pocket. I don't think the whole phone would come out or anything..I'm just picky.

Thank you for the pictures. Would you recommend it?
Sent from my One using xda app-developers app

If you're looking for protection, I probably wouldn't recommend it. There really isn't much of a lip over the screen and the top corners seem to slip off a little too easily. It's not like the whole case would accidentally fall off though since the metal part helps to keep it somewhat rigid.
If you're looking for style, then go for it. It's definitely a unique case.

Heads up, if you actually buy it from Mindplar.com it's $45 with shipping and comes with an assumingly cheap battery bank. A little bit cheaper.

This case does indeed look night, I never spend this much on a case but I might have to, maybe I will wait for a few other reviews.

These are pretty sharp looking. I have only been using a sleeve, but might have to consider this. I think Eddie Van Halen would approve of the red one.

Nice case !

I seen 1 million cover for htc one but i never seen this one before ! thanks , probably i'll purchase this , seems really good

Just got mine in the mail. Came with a free 1000 mAh power bank.
Didn't realize that the IR port was covered, no big deal though. I can use a nail to put a hole in there.
Kind of disappointed that the "metal" part is glued on, and it doesn't wrap around the lip like other hybrid cases.
The case itself is very slim. If you have a glass screen protector it wouldn't wrap around it. Looks really great in hand though.

So looking at the pictures previously posted, is the rubber very...rubbery? lol like the ports seem very loosely cut (charging port) and the edges seem like very rounded. I am used to the UAG case and think the cuts and lines are so sharp that this case (while looking pretty rad) has some variances in quality
am i right?
