wood case for samsung galaxy s3 - Galaxy S III Accessories

I've seen a few variants mentioned here. Has anyone seen any others than the ones so far on this site?
Thanks in advance.

I just ordered a bamboo case from the Netherlands on Etsy. I'll try to post some pix once I receive it.

Why is this a dumb idea? Not everyone has to like the same thing. Obviously there's a market for this.

Sorry guys, but I have to agree that this is a pretty horrible idea. It's all a statement. How hard are you trying to differentiate yourself?

With that being said, I am selling an invisible case. Completely invisible. Even then packaging! All for a mere $20. Oh, and guess what? Free overnight shipping!

Or,
Some people like handmade things that look classy. Wood can be beautiful. (thats what she said)
Do a search, there are some beautiful woods and wooden cases out there.
Just because its not your style doenst mean its stupid.

if you do a search tehre were at least two that i remember clicking.

I would pay upwards of $70 for a super thin wooden case. Maple or cedar would be amazing. I seen cases but there so fat. Just a super slim one would be nice.

I think quite a few kids that stalk these forums only look for cases that double as megatron transformer protectors of doom. I have a decent otterbox for when I go out to the field (military), and then a few nice thin ones for daily use. If you guys find any decent bamboo ones share the links!

Here’s the bamboo case I purchased on Etsy. I had to sand the base down a little for it to work with my Philips speaker docks, but other than that it's perfect.

What's with the hate on wooden cases? Unless someone can provide proof or situations where wooden cases have caused some sort of excessive overheating/burning... there's no reason it's a stupid idea. I have seen MUCH more ridiculous cases posted by people on this website. Tacky colors, cheap materials, hideous design concepts... how are those any less stupid than a wooden case? People pay thousands of dollars to have wood floors installed in their homes yet in order to improve its look yet it's a stupid idea to pay $40 for a case? Grow up kids.

Could you please provide a link to it or maybe provide a brand name? I'm not familiar with Etsy at all. A quick search on the site only found me a clip on back case similar to that one. Yours looks like its a slider and provides much more protection. It looks great and I'd definitely buy it if it's still available on etsy.
I also found some on eBay but I really hate buying from there especially when it comes from overseas since I almost got ripped off for an "OEM" Samsung Flip cover once before.

wrong galaxy phone....
some of the people on etsy make amazing products. I'm currently eyeing a handmade leather case for the Nexus 7 that resembles The Doctor and River Songs journal in Doctor Who.

Fake Otterbox Case and Holster

Guys, thought I would share a case of I just got in the mail today. You can view it here:
http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=251205640188&index=12&nav=SEARCH&nid=51832567878
Didn't know how it would be as the price is very good. But I must say it is very good. Very solid on the phone and feels just like a real Otterbox. Even has the Otter logo on the back of the case and on the holster. Very happy with this purchase. Spending $12 on a case that is very close to the ones that list for $40+ is a deal in my book any day!
It ships from Hong Kong so it will take a few days. Mine arrived very quickly even through the holidays. About 9 days which is very good.

Nice buy. I Would never spend retail for these otterbox cases. Theyre Pure crap imo. They dropped the ball on the gs3 version
Sent from my Galaxy S3 using neighbors wifi
How's the power and volume button stiffness? Is it super hard to press or is it much easier to press than the real one?
can you post some pics of it on your phone?
I will try and get some pics up soon. The case feels really firm. The Plastic does not give any and the buttons are hard, in a good way. They are firm to when you push them they respond. It is really hard to tell this is a knock off. Heck, the holster is just like the otter box kind. No doubt it will hold up if dropped.

i was worried about the stiffness since the real one is stupid hard to press

Ok ikn what you all do with your phones but ive been using otterbox since tye original htc evo... i work in retail as a stock clerk... im always loading akd unloading trucks , cutting opening boxes amd packages , in dusty areas ( sometimes ) ive dropped my otterbox several times and never cracked or broke never got anything in it ... also you can get defender cases for about $20 on amazon with tax and shipping maybe $25. Thats half of retail... same with the commuter case runs about $17 on amazon.... also otterbox has a great warranty I had one issue on my evo of the rubber scratching out ... contacted otter box not only did they send me a whole new case but also sent me 2 new rubber pieces so the $12 you spent $10 more dollars you can get a real otter box and have a great warranty.... btw I have friends that have that case and the rubber will stratch out fast and will have to buy another case within 4 months or so.... btw picture is showing how many otter boxes I have gotten for one phone and how easy it is to replace.

I just bought an official one on Amazon for $15. Why pay $3 less for an unofficial and warranty-less product?

im more interested in how stiff the commuter buttons are since the one i tried at the beatbuy store ia extremely stuff and hard to press. i also do not feel any feedback to the button press which makes me a little worried.
some members have mentioned it loosens up but I need it to be able to be pressed normally without having to rrally force the buttons.

This is theft, plain and simple.
I reported it to Ebay for counterfeit violation. You guys want companies to make cool cases? Don't support this stuff. Companies invest a lot of money in their product and some clown in Hong Kong doesn't need to be supported in stealing their effort.

[Q] Bumper

Hey guys,
Can any of you suggest a Bumper to me for my GSM Gnex? The reason I am asking is because mine has a small chip in the screen (no crack, *phew*) at the very bottom.
I like thin phones and I have seen in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1D4Ff3xX4iw&feature=youtube_gdata_player that there is one that fits my needs. However, the link does not work for it.
So I am asking if any of you have a link for this product, or a very similar one. I would like to be out of the same materials.
Thanks!
I have one to recommend.

Extra Pebble Steel Band Link?

Hey all! I just purchased a Moto 360 and slapped on the Pebble Steel band which fits with the 360 nicely, my issue is I have freakishly large wrists and the band is just a smidge too tight for my taste. It fits fine, but I prefer a looser fit.
Is anyone willing to part with a single spare silver link from their Pebble Band for like... $5 paypal? a couple guys on ebay are trying to sell them for $40 bucks which is probably the stupidest thing I've ever seen, and I watched White Chicks once.
I've got a single black link if anyone needs that. Sorry I couldn't help you out with a silver

How does the length of an unmodified Pebble Steel band compare with the length of the stock leather band? I haven't picked up the watch yet, but when I tried on a demo watch I had to use the last hole. For reference, my stock Gear 2 band is also in the last hole and it is uncomfortably tight on my wrist.
I honestly had to make another hole in my leather strap to get it at the looseness I like. It's a touch tight in the official last hole but not horribly. The pebble band feels about the same, maybe a tiny bit looser to me than the leather strap, but don't quote me on that as it may just be the weight difference that makes it feel that way.
