Hey guys, has anyone seen white housing OEM parts floating around the web for purchase? Its extremely easy to pop the titanium housing off, and I, personally would love to have the ability to change the two out whenever I'd like. The titanium housing is easy to find which is a plus, but I'd still like white just for kicks.
Thanks guys.

He's talking about the body of the phone.

It's the actual body of the phone.

I've only seen the white OEM battery backdoor but I'd imagine the casing will start to go around soon. The best part about this, after all, is the face-plate of the white phone is left as black.
I've been scouring eBay for this, nothing yet!
Can't wait to turn my nexus white, and cover my extended battery cover in white carbon vinyl wrap, should look amazing!
I've been looking for this too. Hopefully it won't be too long from now. I'm sure they know that some of the users may need the white housing,
this is one of the rare cases where the original color of the phone looks 10 time better than the white one... im just saying... i love the titanium.... the white just doesnt sit right with me... plus it isnt going to get its updates directly from google... is u have the gsm titanium one... id say stick with it... just saying

We're just looking to swap the housing over, so we will still have the titanium one, just in a fancy new suit
I'm torn between the two colours, and really just want some variation!
Ugh I want a white one too. And with only the white door available for sale on Ebay its like the people are taunting and teasing us about not being able to have it.

You did a lot of "just saying".

I'm from Singapore and we're the first country to get the white galaxy nexus. I still went with the titanium one as imo the white is horrendous looking.

Yeah, it would be different if the glass was white too. But it's not. Oh well. It would be nice to change its clothes every now and then.

The things he sells in other colors are normal cases
If he's selling the titanium ones though it's a question of time the white housing arrives to eBay.

Hi,
So I bought my S3 at launch and I've been using it with the Yellow / Grey Incipio case since day 1. Just last week, I took my phone out of the case for the first time and noticed that my back plate was no longer white but now grey. After careful inspection, I could see the outline of the Incipio case on there.
I've asked other people that have the White S3 to see if they were having any issues. At first I thought it might be over heating but now I'm just confused.
Attached are some pictures with the phone in the case, with it out of the case. Also I took some pictures to have it compared next to my friends white S3, you can clearly see the difference.
I have the darkgrey/lightgrey silicrylic version, and my White S3 still looks as white as snow after 2 months (even though I have nothing to directly compare it to).
Oh damn mine better not do that I have the turquoise light grey combo

And that's why I refuse to ever buy a white phone. Don't get me wrong, they typicaly look great. I'm a sucker for white cars myself. Problem is, over time unless you've covered it with a full body skin or something, it will not stay white.
Its one of those "once you've seen it, You'll never unsee it" type of deals. It may look white but once you have something to compare it to, you always see it isn't white anymore.
Much like our AMOLED screens. God I wish I never looked at my brothers One X side by side. Now every time I look at my phone with any white background, it looks freakin blue..... :'(
Who cares? A: You have a cover on. B: you can get a replacement for cheaper than the case you purchased.

Don't read too much into the "who cares?" this is a valid thread and I didn't have any bad intentions with it.

Anybody used this?
I was looking at the Spigen one and came across this. The S3 is featured about half way through the clip.

I was holding back for one, I want one either all clear or the actual pebble blue colour (blue/silver streaks) and this seems the closest by looking at the link.
i'm not sure if it's a full coverage, even if it's 1-2mm off the edge, it's fine with me, as long as it's the stated colour, as it should look OK.
BTW i made the last purchased.
He relist them just now. I went ahead and purchased one. Recently bought the DBA real class feel platic screen protector, pretty disappointing, rainbow streak and only cover the display portion...oh well lesson learned, hopefully this will be much better
Looks like the glue is only on the edges like on the SGP. Can anyone confirm?

I can't comment on the proximity issue, this protector is clear, no dot's, that xgear failed sample, and because this screen protector is adhesived with the whole screen, i'm sure it's ok with sensitivity, but let just wait and see for the actual item once we get it.
I thought the protector has a blue cutout similar to the Spectre one? Guess we'll find out soon enough, from the pictures on Ebay, the pebble blue cutout look the most like OEM color (blue with silver streaks)

if you look at the one of the diagram, the one with a star pointing to the screen, you can read the first one as full attachment..
edit:
when I say clear, I mean the screen part without dot, sorry for the misunderstanding.
I actually would prefer it if this product does not cover the screen entirely. I am currently using the Spigen Neo Hybrid case and it does cover the edge of the screen a little.

I think this protector leaves the edge uncovered.
Damn looks promising!
Only a glass protector is an option for me now, all others are a waste of money.

I have a few of my users (yes IT manager here) asking if there is a physical keyboard for the s3 that is integrated with a case. They want the equivalent of this:
http://www.amazon.com/Ultra-thin-Sliding-Bluetooth-Keyboard-iPhone/dp/B0054KMWF2/ref=sr_1_3
They all know that any bluetooth or keyboard can work with it, they just wanted an integrated version as they prefer a bulkier s3 vs separate items.
I've looked around a bit and couldn't find anything, does anyone know where I might be able to find one? Or perhaps know a company that is making one now?
Thanks!
There are none :/

I've often wanted something like this when I need to answer a bunch of emails when I'm out and about. There are a bunch for iphones, but I've yet to see one to fit an Android device. It seems like if any phone would get one, the GSIII might. I've also wondered why nobody can seem to make the slider keyboard with an interchangeable TPU case to fit different models.

On eBay I came across this,
it's not really fit like the slider you mentioned though.
You know why you can't find one?
because it would make the camera useless, and severely diminish the speaker.
no-one has made a small enough keyboard to not cover them. the closest anyone has gotten is that computer generated render, in the previous posts that is not for sale.
it WILL happen.. just wait.

That's neat, but i wonder if the "hinge" can hold itself up
---------- Post added at 02:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:43 PM ----------
maybe someone needs to make a Gameklip-style thing, but for holding these micro-bluetooth keyboards (patent pending )
What would seem more practical and allow use of everything is the keyboard folding down. When it is closed laying against the screen with a flap or something separating keyboard and screen. You works have a full keyboard and since Bluetooth the keyboard could be used with other phone with the same case. Any case makers watching here... do it live. I've thought about it for over a year. I also have a good idea for amplifying phone speakers with battery any bulk. It works to made myself one.

It probably will (the hinge) hold, got a case from ebay and it was daaamn tight, surprisingly, it is still holding pretty good.

Like these?... http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trk...kw=galaxy+s3+keyboard+case&_sacat=0&_from=R40
The only concern I'd have about these is that they seem to just have a "soft" hinge (ie. just the material), so it probably wouldn't support itself. Something like this would be great though if it was a hard case (think Nintendo DS), as it would protect the screen when closed.

Not a good answer, but you can get a simple OnTheGo USB cable, and plug any USB keyboard in. Handy if you are going to do a lot of work on the phone. Not that you would carry a USB keyboard around.
FYI ele-boat says it'll be available for purchase November 10th.

I'm looking for something a little stylish in design and came across this.
I'm trying to favor Form over the actual function of a case. I'm almost tempted to get this one, but I wanted to see what others had as an opinion on it.
This case looks very similar to the iOttie Macaron case (see here)
If it is similar to that case as in feel and fit for the phone then I will buy this case immediately. I loved my iOttie for my iPhone 5 when I had it.
im really digging this case. might get it when funds arrive lol. anyone wanna buy a cruzer lite case? lol

I got my case in the mail over the weekend. I'll post pictures later.
Overall, it's very nice. The grip feels very good in the hand, and the case itself makes a perfect fit around the phone. The buttons aren't too tight like I've seen on other cases, but they make good enough contact that they work with every press. I'd even go as far as saying that pressing the buttons in the case feel more tactile than pressing the buttons on the phone itself.
My one complaint has to do with the rounded back. Oftentimes when I'm at restaurants or sitting at my desk, I'll set my phone on the table to use it. The rounded back makes the touch screen awkward to use as the case tends to slide the phone around a bit, or spin in place. I'd also gripe that the "iFace" logo is upside down when the phone is in proper landscape mode for camera use. No big deal though.
I got my case in the Android shade Lime-green color, but it comes in many different colors.
Also, Shipping took exactly two weeks for me, but YMMV.

It's not a whole lot to look at, but hopefully it helps. Excuse the orange paint stains on my kitchen counter. It's really bothering me in these pictures.
The back. Ample enough protection for the camera lens.
Spoiler
I really like the rounded contours along the perimeter of the phone. it feels good in the hand. It's got a soft rubbery grip. I actually nearly dropped my phone while taking one of these pictures, luckily for the grip...I managed to catch it in time.
Spoiler
The space for the MicroUSB and 3.5mm jack: Could be a bit tight for some, but works for all of my cords. My largest USB has quite a snug fit.
Spoiler
EDIT:WHELP, spoiler tags don't work like I assumed. Also, If you notice the ruler in the background, I was going to try and get some measurements, but a paper ruler doesnt do me very good when trying to figure out a difference between a couple milimeters. As far as thickness goes, the case doesn't even add a full milimeter. The sides are a bit of a different story, due to the rounded edges.
iFace case is strongly recommended for the Optimus G. It is very good quality with excellent grip.
Here is a link;
iFace first class Optimus G case
I've had a number of....accidental drop tests. This is truly a great case. The rubber bump-edge really does an excellent job protecting from falls. These aren't just little baby falls either, for instance, last night, my poor little phone fell from my hand, about 5 feet onto hard brick flooring. I've yet to acquire a single scratch anywhere on my phone!
