Genuine Samsung S3 Cover / Case Part No - EFC-1G6FBECSTD
Youtube Link
As always any feedback is more than welcome
Good point someone just made, you can't see the LED for notifications.
Not a major thing for me but it maybe for some people.
It also makes using the camera a bit of a pain. Useful for proping up the phone though.

Yeah I agree. Not my kind of case tbf but as it's a genuine product I thought I'd review it. My favorite case so far is a case from tech21

Like the fit, but blocking the led and awkward way you'd have to use camera make it a no go.
great review though.

Cheers. Too many downsides to make it the case for me but they are very popular with S3 owners.

I don't mind the not holding anything side of things but they are expensive. You can tell it is a very high quality case though.

Those of you moaning about the led being covered just leave the cover open when on a desk!
As for the video, the screen turns off when your on a call anyway......

Yeah I'm aware the proximity sensor turns the screen off when it's by the side of your face but I thought it was worth pointing out it still works with the case.

Hello everyone,
I'm using the flip cover on my S3 and is exactly what i wanted. The only problem is the led being covered, so, i used a tool that i have to make holes on belts to make one on the cover and now is perfect for me.
See the pic below. The cover is very hard, i had to make a lot of "force" to make the hole.

Looks like a good job. Nice work. I'm surprised Samsung didn't put the hole there in the first place

I doubt they will but I think it would increase sales as a lot of people have pointed out the issue. I can't see how they can solve the issue of using the camera though.
Can someone that owns this case answer me this;
Is this cover protective for the screen in a case of a fall? I mean does it "lock" in place over the screen? If you turn it upside down for example, the flip opens?
I believe its the most basic thing that should be answered (if it does not protect the screen its useless) and no one in any review does this simple test.

Sorry I thought it was clear, no it doesn't lock to the screen so it dropped it could easily flap open.
ive pre ordered the case as its not out in australia yet, i should be getting it next week. never really thought about the camera and stuff until you guys mentioned it. ive used pu leather flip cases before and havnt really found it a problem. hopefully ill enjoy it as much i planned to. i love the looks and quality of the case, ive paid $39 aus for this product. cant wait..

I got one of these a couple of weeks back for my device. I found it was rather annoying having to hold it at an awkward angle when on the phone. I wish they'd made it flip up or down instead of to the side. It also means you can't hold it very well with your left hand either, as it adds even more width on to the device!
I've switched to a skin thingy now instead, even though it leaves the screen open to damage. I'm still looking to get some kind of plastic cover I can use with the skin I've got though.

Incipio has a slider case that fits well with xperia x10. only down side is there is no hole for the LED notifications, but the case is a hard case that slides together instead of 2 piece where the front and back meets together. this is more secure. just a fyi for anyone interested
Any pictures?
looks good but it would've been better if it had a spool for the Handsfree.

just decided to purchase the Incipio EDGE Case on ebay for $10 and I will drill a hole where the LED notification sits at
if anyone could help me out, whats the proper size drillbit i can use to drill a perfect hole in the case for the LED?
I just drilled a hole in may case for the led. Use a 5/64" (1.9844mm). Draw a lines parallel to the edge and the top on the screen so that they intersect at the led. Put the case on and work out where they intersect on the case. Thats where you drill. Easy.
I do not like the feel on my hand with this case :/
please post a review/pics when you get a chance, my cheap case from ebay broke in like 2 months =/
Case has a LED hole
I just got an Incipio slider case and it has a hole for the cam and LED. I like it the most out of the two other cases I have tried. It was purchased from an AT&T store.

I cant find this item on ebay, can someone post pics please ?
I know that this topic has been discussed before so sorry for a repeat thread but has anyone discovered a bumper case yet for our phone or perhaps tried out a case for a different phone that fits ours?
Perhaps if we get enough people we can contact sgp about making their neo hybrid ex case for the e4gt..

Ebay does in fact have bumper cases, but none with an open back.
Modifying (cutting out the back) the existing ones from what I understand makes the surrounding edges loose.
their are a bunch on ebay that do have the back cut out cant remember who the seller/manufacturer is though. I think this is one http://www.ebay.com/itm/Smoke-Black...ccessories&hash=item35b7e3ef5a#ht_4330wt_1185

I've got three of these (there as cheap as 3.50 shipped if you dig), the green/clear, black/clear and a frost/frost. I've got a white/clear on the way for my white ET4G. I like them personally. Not exactly like the iPhone bumper cases but close enough.
Pictures speak volumes. Can take more if wanted/needed of the other colors.

I'm at work which blocks ebay links but most of the links in this thread point to a version of the case I have. When I get home later (or my notebook at lunch) I can post a link to the exact auction for my green case.
So is that the one with the clear back? If so you can't even tell, it looks like it has an open back.

It is the one with the clear back. I'll get a picture of it off the phone to hopefully capture better how clear it is. In person you can tell its there but IMHO it looks very nice and clean.
Here is a link to the green bumper case I have pictured.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEON-GREEN-...NG-EPIC-4G-TOUCH-D710-PROTECTOR-/400250640556
The attached hopefully gives a better idea of how "clear" the back plastic is. I personally like the added protection for the camera went setting the phone down on a table.
Can you take pictures of the sides please I want to see how it covers the volume and power buttons.
Hope these help, kind of hard to get decent pictures that close without a macro lens.
I should mention that I personally have no trouble with button usage on this case. Though truth be told I've had this type of case on my phone since I walked out of the Sprint store with it.

I honestly have no idea.
Totally taking a guess I FEEL it would loose quite a bit of integrity. While the back is sturdy I can bend it if pushed hard enough. The TPU/Gel/Candy 'bumper' i feel wouldn't have anything to pull it back together and would likely loose shape over time. Then again that whole last bit is my opinion and me more or less talking out my ass. For about or less than 4 bucks shipped I'd say its worth ordering one and giving it a shot if you're really curious about it.
Good luck!

I didn't have the right tips for the dremel so I had to use a grind stone, it looks incredibly sloppy but the rubber is so tight on it that I'm not worried about dust. I found the right tips after I was done (imagine that) so the case I do in a few days should look a lot better. No pointers really, you should be able to free hand it.
in addition to pics without the silicone cover, can you take pics with everyone on and show the back near the camera. wondering if theres a gap or something between the rubber and plastic. im glad you had the balls to do this. i didnt think it was possible.

I will show pics without the silicone but I'll update it later when I re do it with the right tool. I thought I posted a picture of the back. There is a gap but the battery seals tightly between the plastic and the silicone. There's definitely no chance of dust getting in but I'll add the picture once I'm home.
And yeah I was getting tired of not having a good case for my extended batteries.

I have been working 7 days a week, family and work come before xda ^^
appreciate the pics man even though you being busy and all
that looks like a precise cut, very nice. any tips on how to get it right the first time?
the only thing that bothers me is the gap between the hardshell and silicone on the back (right under the camera).
i dont really care about the looks, but worry about rain water or whatever getting inside quicker.
since the original back cover is removed, the back and internals are technically more exposed.
Hey man I just purchased this battery and think your idea is awesome. I'm surprised no one has asked exactly how you modded this to make it work. So you cut the hard plastic backing and the outer silicone? The 3rd pic in the OP doesn't look like the silicone was cut.

The enticing factor about the s-view cover to me is it turns on the devices screen when the cover is removed and then switches it off when you close it. Without being able to emulate that functionality, the effort just doesn't seem worth it to me.

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

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.

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?

Pretty sure wireless charging is fine with this case, think I read it somewhere?
I am sure LGoogle wouldn't overlook this, especially considering they are releasing a charger for the nexus devices too.

We were the lucky few that were able to grab one at launch, they ran out pretty quick though

Well all the pics show a hole for the notification light. If there is no hole for your camera also, then you have it installed upside down

The hole in the picture is at the top for the earpiece so you can talk on the phone with the cover closed...
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.
