Otterbox Commuter white Review - Galaxy S III Accessories

I got my otter-box commuter case in white today finally. Its pretty decent, but the only problems I've had with it is that the buttons are really hard to press, and it takes a bit to get it on and off, which is a problem when you want to switch batteries. I made a video reviewing the case, if you guys want to check it out here:

Hope this helps you guys deciding on which case to pick..

My wife's been bugging me about picking her up that case in that color but after watching you struggle I'm a little worried about probably having to listen to her complain about it all day long.

Yeah it's difficult to press down the side buttons. I have to use my fingernails instead of the pads of my fingertips

hah yeah i use my fingernails to press down on it too, but it still takes too much effort than it should. The volume rockers have gotten easier to press now. I'm going to keep it on for a couple more days and see if it gets easier.

Found a Aftermarket Landscape Dock(UPDATED WITH PICS)

I just ordered it, Amazon Prime is telling me it will be delivered tomorrow. Looks ok, doesn't look like it uses the pogo pins, ill report back once I get it.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007RQQJLY/ref=ox_ya_os_product
so here are the pics, with the phone in the dock, i cannot use my Incipio Feather case. I can push on the top of the phone which will hit the power button on the right side of the phone. Thats right, thats a GSM Galaxy Nexus in white ! =)

It looks like it'd be easy to just drill a hole and epoxy a 3.5mm audio cable into it.

Incipio featherweight :(

Have had this case since April, great slim case. Well it started to crack at the top corners of the case a few months ago. Weird thing is since i put it ive rarely taken it off the phone maybe 3-5 times tops. So idk how the polycarbonate cracked.
Well fast forward go today and you get this:

That stinks . I am using the Cimo S-Line TPU Case. It is small and light but protects my phone well.
Anyone else with the featherweight case have this problem?

[Q] How to fix the Spen if its stuck in the phone

Does anyone know how to separate the Silver plated part from the black part of the spen? The silver part is not aligned with the black part and it always get stuck in the phone and needs to be pulled out really hard. I tried with other spen on my phone and its fine so i know its because of it not being aligned.
Pics?

Well I'm sitting here looking at my spen and, ,it has the same size gap between the silver top piece and the base.
The only suggestion I can give you is call Samsung and ask them about it...I'm sure they would be pleased to send u a new one..not very expensive for them. Just my suggestion. :beer:

Interesting. I kinda want to see how the sides really look. Are they really transparent, or it just radio transparent? Interpretation! lol

Yes that is confusing, on first reading I thought they meant that the sides were specially designed to not impede the antenna...but there is a section which also says 'translucent sides for added style' yet the renders seem to have solid sides. Every 'feather' I have ever used has been a simple and effective snap on hard case made of a material that I was comfortable wouldn't scratch...but nothing was see through....guess we have to wait for more info.
It looks like they will be too slippery...

Clean looking....

Thanks. I normally like the feather cases but the brushed aluminium part of it doesn't appeal, I would rather have a straight up feather in various colours, I might try the ngp though at some point.

Planning on getting a nexus 5 in a few weeks and wanted to know if anyone had tried this case, and what you thought of it. Couldn't find a YouTube review even, but It looks nice.

I've been using it for a few days now and I'm still not sure if I'll keep it. It is a great case just a wee bit more bulky than anticipated. But I suppose I should have expected it to be since I recently jumped from an iPhone to a real phone.

Actually I have this case and love it very much , I add on the extra protection when going out and love that it also protects my camera lense .

How easy can you get the cover off the camera? I saw somewhere it was kind of difficult?

Quite easily its made of a rubber like material but offers good protection I believe.
