i just need a picture of the tear down to see if switching it would interfere with the chip
edit: they probably couldn't put the kickstand on the other side because the screws for the hinge will hit the micro-usb charge port

Doesn't look good
Check out the site a little bit before you order, people. The ratings for this site don't look very good at all. I'd stay away from them and save your money.

I installed the one from repairuniverse and it seems to be OEM in all ways but one. The kickstand does not seem to have the transparent coating that the original did. This is a good thing in my opinion since I spent a lot of time pealing mine off after it started to chip a month after I got the phone. Fitment was great and the rest of the look is OEM as I said before

Nah, that's just the crappy coat on the kickstand coming off. tape off around the kickstand, and take a green scrubby pad to it. a bit of metal polish, and it'll look way better than before.

Not necessarily as cheap, but a bit more established and reputable (ordered quite a few things from them for fixing BBs etc.)

If its the surface chiping off then not chems, mine did it 1st week and I ended up pealing the rest off over time with fingernail.

I recently bought a whole new shell and battery cover for my phone...repairsuniverse is an excellent site, thats where I bought mine and they give you the tools and it looks fantastic

Can you order one with the blue kickstand like in the first picture? that looks pretty cool.

I think that's just a blue protective sticker on the kickstand. Not an actual blue kickstand.

SPIGEN SGP Leather Pouch Crumena for Samsung Galaxy SIII

I was able to get this from a friend because he doesn't like pouch style protection so he has given it to me.
I personally love pouch-style over cases so in my opinion, this fits well and is great. Only thing is that I rather have a fabric like the one that came with the G1 over this leather feel. Amazon seems to sell them for 29.99. I can't post links so please search for
SPIGEN SGP Leather Pouch Crumena for Samsung Galaxy SIII, S3 for Verizon, Sprint, Tmobile, AT&T and other Carriers [Black]
comes in three different color variants. fits my phone perfectly.

Well reply to this and you'll get your 10th post and ability to post links.
I've ordered this pouch, and was wondering if there's enough room for an S3 with a "sleeve" case like Rock or the Diztronic one to fit into it?
Thanks

I've had the brown for about two weeks now, love it. The speaker hole cut out is a welcome addition.

No, the sleeve from SPG is tight enough where if you held the pouch with phone upside down, it won't slip out. Thats with the naked device.

the vendor I get fromis every_sell
i have been getting pouches from them for almost every phone i've had.....I can't find a difference at all...
I once bought a pouch for them and was about to give them a negative review because they state OEM....i emailed them saying I was going to give a neg review due to them stating OEM.
They told me that htc actually contracted with who they get the cases from to make it for the g1...so all they do is redesign it for the new phones with the same material and build quality, hence stating OEM
i would have given them a negative review it was cheap and flimsey...but It isn't....it is a little deceiving they state OEM when it isn't, but the build quality doesn't suffer, so i dont mind.....if it did, i would have given them negative reviews

thanks for that link, i'll def look into that in the future! like those G1 style cases the most.

This thread is useless without pics. Lol jk but do you have a pic for real though

Scratch Issues

Hey question for you guys who own this case. I've been reading up on reviews for the crumena (mainly on amazon) and there has been some complaints about the case actually scratching up the phone. The scratches are mainly on the side and more specifically the back of the phone mainly due to the ribbon.
Are you guys experiencing the same problem??

christian, I didn't even get a days use out of the case. After fighting with it to get my S3 to go inside of the pouch, I ended up having to use a razor blade to remove the stitching as the S3 was stuck inside of it. I was reimbursed by SGP.

Review: Ultra Slim plastic case.

Just purchased this plastic case from china costing me less than USD 0.50, this case look very similar to the samsung original slim case posted in other threads.
Some members actually say cheap stuff is never good, I think otherwise, I think this is better than the samsung version, as the samsung one does not cover the whole rim of the phone.
Anyway this case has a perfect fit that protects the whole rim of the SGS3 apart from the bottom part as seen in the photo's which is need to insert and remove the phone from the case.
Available in 9 colours

Where did you buy it? ebay seller or link? Thanks

Link please!

Is SGS official

KMS108, you are such a tease. Youvwont even pleasure us with the link. Looked all over ebay can't find the case.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

Same here; looked on ebay and I didn't find the same.

As stated in the first post I got it fom china, there is no link.

This is the very type of case I usually end up leaving on my phone, it's scratch protection, super minimalist.
Grip is usually nice, it's snug, form fitting. Judging by your pictures, it's cut out are precise.
One doubt is the sudden missing bottom front portion, wonder what for.. Is there actually a piece of the case going into the usb port?
I would definitely buy these at even twice their price
EDIT: ebay search "i9300 tpu ultra slim or thin" comes up with 2 similar styles.

The material is flexi plastic, and the fit is like perfect, so without the bottom part rim removed it's not possible to put and remove the phone from the case.
The samsung version doesn't have this, but the case only covers only half of the rim on all sides, members with the samsung case will know what I mean.

Nexus 5 Official Bumper Case

Hi guys,
I have ordered the nexus 5 from the US and looking for a good case for it. What other than the google's official bumper. Especially the Red & Yellow one is amazing. I was thinking of ordering it for quite some time but till now it has been out of stock. Anyone know any other websites where I can find the official bumper for nexus 5 in Red or Yellow only. Not much of a grey fan which is available in ebay. I know its pricey and I can go for way better options like spigen and cruzerlite and so on... Anyways, help me out here...
Thanks in Advance.
One more thing, I am located in India...

6338963 4402
So...no response?

i have the spigen neo-hybrid myself, and it is a very solid case, the buttons feel great, protection seems pretty solid, the back of the case gets marked up pretty well if you keep it with your keys or something, but they are easily wiped away with some spit. I just ordered the spigen ultra fit clear case and it should be here by the end of the week. Spigen makes some pretty solid cases although some of their cases has been plagued by issues such as the slim armor case.

Lol, of course my two LEAST favorite colors for the case would come back in stock. Hopefully it isn't too much longer for the black one to come back...

I Just wanna know if these cases are the same material and have the same "rubber" feeling of the original back of the phone, can someone who already received it answer me?
That 's the only thing which is still making me doubtful about placing the order

$35 USD. Ouch.

There have been reviews of the official cases for a while now if you're still on the fence. Generally both are a disappointment and overpriced.

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://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.

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!).
