How Do I Make Front of the Galaxy S3 Black? - Galaxy S III Accessories

is there any way to make the front white plate of the galaxy s3 black? is there a sticker or plate do make this happen?

I would have done the same thing because I have white galaxy and looks a lot bigger than it is. I did not want to get purple, because purple is ugly and idiots did not make beautiful black (possible matte black) like everyone else??? At least i wana change or repaint back cover?!?!?!
Sorry on my english...

fear not. this works really well
it's a bit operator dependent though. just take care when applying it.

Look for someone who makes custom skins (wrap) and design a black one.

At first I wanted it to be black just like my S2 but now I kinda like it being white, got a smoke coloured belkin half-soft cover on. White's good because it's easier to find in the dark. hehe... What are the differences between the S3 and the Nexus?

If you'd taken the time to look you would see it is a 'Create Your Own' design using the Gelaskins own software on the very page I linked you to. It is a screenshot of a skin that took about 15 seconds to create. Try it.

The skin doesn't cover the left and right boarder (still pebble blue), just the top and bottom. Looks like they do a good job with the soft keys though.

Their designer should be fired on the spot.

Try using some 3M style vinyl and then cutting it with a razor to fit. Same as they do for car wrapping. You may damage the phone doing it, but I don't see any other way

I dont understand?
You buy a white phone and want to make it look black?
You buy a nice large screen phone and want to make it look smaller?:silly:

OP, Been reading through this thread here. You're attitude seems to be a little on the aggressive side. You asked a question and asked for help. Members are giving you help and you're being kind of rude about it, and it will not be tolerated at all. Consider this a fair warning for you to tone it down a little bit. Anyone else for that matter.

you can look for privacy screen protectors

[Cases/Wrap] GelaSkins - These look VERY impressive

Has anyone tried these?
http://www.gelaskins.com/store/skins/phones/Galaxy_S_Vibrant_US
I LOVE how the skin and the wallpaper blend. I like that it has a cutout for the FFC... some of us could benefit from that.
EDIT, just notice you can download every wallpaper they have from the site too.... awesome!

that looks pretty cool...i love the wallpapers on that site
are they reusable? I change wallpapers a lot, it gets boring after a while.
^ the wallpapers? Just download them and create a folder for background images.... just save them there and you are good. I downloaded about 5 of them. They look great. I wish these were CASES and not wraps. I wonder the quality... and protection these would give.

lol no, I meant the actual sticker you put on. For example, the green one in your post, if you change the wallpaper on your phone you still have the green sticker on the front that looks a bit weird with a different wallpaper. I was wondering if you can take the sticker off and use it again.

Thats the only thing keeping me from buying one. Other wall papers wont fit well.
Yeah I have one from them. The Hokusai Great Wave. It goes with any of the lwp 's I use. I rarely use the one that came with it. But that's a nice effect. Very high quality product. Yes they're removable. But I have another back with another design from another company. Easier that way.
Don't blame me, blame my keyboard's autocorrection algorithm.
Any chance you could take some photos from the side? I have a hard time telling from their site how it fits the phone. Does it really offer protection? Or is it just a pretty sticker over your phone?
Sorry its a bit shaky im holding the battery in with my finger
Don't blame me, blame my keyboard's autocorrection algorithm.
It really wouldn't protect it, though it is a high quality textile type decal. Not really a sticker bc it is removable. But this phone is pretty tough I've dropped it multiple times and no damage. Its really an aesthetic add on. But you can use a case right over it. Sometimes I use the clear body glove one with the easel.
Don't blame me, blame my keyboard's autocorrection algorithm.
I bought a skin 7 months ago...the shape is a lil strange and has not held up well. Iskinit does a similar set-up, but again the shape is a lil off and the corners can start to peel.
I wonder how well these decals would install over the invisible shield screen protector.

I'll let you know when it actually arrives
From the looks of the pics it looks like the battery cover is slightly thicker than the stock cover, so it should protect the camera lens from scratching.
thanks ! have been looking for these for a while !
I'm actually after a spare stock rear battery cover. Anyone seen them being sold online or at a shop?
Thanks! I'll buy the black one, because I don't want to scratch the original one.

I dont think you could scratch the original one even if you tried. Its made of perforated plastic and is rough to touch anyway.

Nice link, shame the only colour they seem not to do is the one I want (red)
I'd like to se e metal ones. Maybe somthing the same colour as the metal on the outer rim of the phone would look good.
I would be very interested in one if these if they played nice with the Zagg invisibleShield FULL BODY maximum coverage or easy install. The stock back has the texture which makes the invisible shields look like junk and peel.
Anyone want to be my guinea pig?? =D

If the price was right, it would be cool to be able to switch the back cover to suit the colour of your wallpaper. $13 seems a little steep though. If it had been $6 I might have gone for a couple.
Interested to see what they look like in reality though.

I'm not sure the technical aspect of what you just said however I'll try to answer as best I can.
GH is a skin film that goes over your phone to protect it from scratches, nicks etc.
It comes with a clear film that goes on the front also and acts as a screen protector as well
You guys can learn more about it from their site. Just google their name & you'll easily find it!
any news of these going on ebay?

Sounds good
I doubt that there will be any housing for our version of galaxy s2 anytime soon.
There's not a single oem housing or after market for the black, so chances are when you're tired of this phone, they might have something for it.
I've had both the black and white, and I had to stay with the white to get the free offer, and I prefer the black one. For one, the light doesn't bleed in the front buttons, second, the white is completely smooth. So it slides off everything. I like the texture of the black one. Plus the black gives the phone a smooth look. The white clearly points out where the screen ends.

Quick review of Aluminium bumper case and Aluminium back door(High definition photos)

Hi guys.
It's not SZLF. (I thought it would be szlf but its not)
Quality is perfect . Easy to press buttons (Ease of pressing with out case 100%, With case 65%)
I also ask for GUN METAL color. I got ****ty light grey color.
My front is "silver" but the back is "light grey".
.....little disappointed.
But I'm not a petty person, (even If i payed tottaly 60$).....I left a good feedback.

Door also is good quality, just slightly thicker. (1mm maybe)
Conclusion
Before you buying something from ebay...check the pictures first !!!
If the seller does not have pictures you better find another one.
DO NOT BELIEVE to words...

White Galaxy S3 with Pebble Blue back!

Ever since I saw the Galaxy S3 announcement, I've had the idea to mix and match the two "all natural and made for humans" colours. So I got a white phone and started looking for a replacement back in blue. At first, it was impossible to get a pebble blue back without buying a new GS3. But eventually, I found one on ebay.
The cover I bought: http://www.ebay.com/itm/380448215137

Thanks, I'm interested in doing this.
I'm going to be annoying and complain, though... Why the extreme closeups? I'm really having problems seeing what it really looks like, I think your pictures are pretty bad quality! Are they taken in low light? Some of them look very yellow.
Better pics, please, mister Blurrycam? Thanks for your effort! (Sorry for complaining!)
So I found 2 sellers on ebay advertising this... do you mind sharing which one you got it from. Would rather run with a confirmed legitimate back cover. Cheers
And to the previous poster I'd hazard a guess it is damn hard to have a distance shot that captures the sheen/colour of the pebble blue especially in the same shot as white (too wide a contrast range) not to mention the brushed metal finish...
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
Might go the other way and get the white one for my pebble blue model
Linky please ?
I want to buy the original batterycovers aswell.. as backup . Could you provide us with a link where to buy these?
I can take some photos in better lighting once the sun is back. However, if I take a picture from a distance, it will just either look like an all white phone. The blue back isn't visible when I lay it down.
I don't have a real camera.. only a ton of phones. I took the pics with my Galaxy Nexus :x Maybe the Galaxy S IV will be good enough to photograph itself?
Anyways, I updated the thread to have a link to the buyer on ebay that I purchased from.

i love a unique phone, zedomax has a white phone with black screen and the home botton is white aswell. looks great although ide still prefer my original pebble blue.
i like to make programs and the looks of the phone unique rather then the outside i like it nice and simple on the outside and deadly in the inside hehe
