Haha If there was a case made from wood that would be awesome. However a case that looks like wood would be fine too.

Just out of curiosity, why the attachment to wood?
Are you a lumberjack or something?

Wood is typically considered desirable because anything that needs to be fashioned for a particular design usually requires it to be hand-crafted, as opposed to off an assembly line.
To answer your question, no, I've not seen any SGII wooden cases. I know a few existed for the iphone and ipad.

I would say business opportunity, but not sure how well they would work, either they would have to be pretty thick, or reinforced with some metal or something. Guess you could make some steampunk/fantasy type thing...
I would like to see a faraday case to go with my tinfoil hat after all the 'preppers' I have lately. Those people are clown shoes.

yes..there are a few wooden cases
There are a few manufacturers making cellphone case's from wood (not the plastic ones with wooden skins on them). Most of them are for apple products. I have found a few for samsung epic 4g touch also. A few are real wood some are wood look alikes.
I haven't tried / tested them, so i am not vouching for anyone. If anyone has used wooden cases please quote your experience.

That said.... I might try to hand make one. If it turns out good, I'll sell more.... but heads up, as they will most definitely not be cheap.

Please do this. I will love you forever if you'd just please, please do this.

I had this case for my GS2 and iPhone 4s and I got rid of my phones long before it started to sag. However, I plan to keep my GS3 for quite awhile.

As the name suggests, the Ultra Thin, is "ultra thin." If you want something slim, you should go with it or get the Neo Hybrid instead if you want more protection.

Well, SGP did mention they are either going to make it with TPU or semi-TPU, hopefully that's the case instead of silicone

I've had the Neo Hybrid for the SG2 but never had the sagging issue. I hope that's not the case cause I really like the feel of them. Will definitely get it when it is available.

the sagging issue is due to taking the phone out of the casing too frequently? as least that was what happened for me

the sagging issue should NOT be present in the S3 version according to SGP (in the YouTube video)... The representative or whatever commenting saying new material is being used that is stronger and will not sagg

Yeah I saw this one a few days ago too! Finally a protective case that looks great, and with white color too! Ordered.

But after a few days, is'nt there dust or smt. under the front cover? Cause for the menu button, there is a hole in the front?!
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

ive got one and i cannot see any dust or smt under the screen cover,and the outer /back part off the case come off easy to put it in a dock ,once you now how it fits

I guess a little dust could get in from the speaker hole at the top but it would take a while to build up and its easy enough to remove the case to clean it.

SGP Neo Hybrid SGS3 Issue

As some of you know, neo hybrid has some volume issues. Here are some videos. Already trying to return this (neo hybrid infinity white), I actually preferred and bought the Lumi Sparkling Blue (matches my theme, hehe~) so that is being shipped today. Some did say that one works better (?), not sure but time will tell.
Design wise, I LOVE it. Just wish I would have a perfect working case.

I purchased the Lumi Sparkling Blue and have the same issue.

try taking the case off and with the back of a pen or something, pushing outward on the inside of the volume rocker to stretch it out

Just shave down the inside, it's a simple fix I did on mine. Works perfect now. I know you probably want a case that works right out of the box but I think it's worth an effort.

If you look inside of the case where the buttons are, there are little nubs that sticks out. I'm guessing SGP made it little too long, so just cut it off or trim it till it meets your desire.
I had posted picture of my case on other thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29133860 check post #61, you will notice where I cut the little nubs.
