Speck candyshell edge scraling off - Galaxy S III Accessories

I have my speck candyshell case for just about three weeks now and I'm really getting annoyed by the edges (tpu part that grips the edges of the phone) because the material is scraping off. Is this a common problem with this case?

Mine is starting to do this to. I thought I read somewhere that they was a recall because of issues.

Hmmm, would there be even a slight chance that this is covered by warranty? I live in the Philippines and I bought this from an authorized dealer. Is the customer support of speck good?

That problem is only for the Pebble/Buyao and they were already recalled and the new ones had this issue solved.

SGP GLAS.t

Dear *****,
Thank you for contacting Spigen.com Customer Service Department.
Hi, my name is Diana from Spigen.com. Thank you for your interest in our products. Unfortunately, due to the curved nature of the screen, it does seem like it will be rather difficult to create a GLAS.t product for the Samsung Galaxy S3. However if there is increased interest and request for this product, we may change production plans in the future. If you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact us again.
Thank you.

Amazon says it ships out the 5th. But I'm sure they'll release a blue. Would have been better if they sold the clear ones like they did for the iPhone

And for now we are only releasing the White GLAS,
But it looks like we might be releasing the Blue if things go according to plans, but we just need a confirmation from our manufacturers.
So we do need to wait for a definite answers."

not sure, but ive seen from several manufacturers that its because of the adhesive....granted im certain its possible to use something clear..but perhaps in this case that just isn't how they're doing it
/shrug
I also think it may be colored to hide any small bubbles that may appear on the edges from the curved screen.
I wonder if it'll have the charging bug like the s2

Hoco genuine leather flip case

Thinking of pushing the button on one of these. Minimal bulk for a leather case by the looks. Anyone had experience with hoco before?

HOCO is a brand in HongKong,their leather cases are very good. My sister purchased a white one for her Phone two weeks ago, it fits well and the quality is ok.
Pushed the button and it will arrive tomorrow. Sometime in the next few days I will attempt to post a review.

Looks good!
I don't have any direct experience with Hoco, but I have had similar cases from other manufacturers for my previous phones in the past. All I can say is that pictures are deceiving...those cases add a lot of bulk to a phone, additionally the flap just plain gets in the way and makes the while thing even bigger. Just my opinion, I know this type of case works for some people or they wouldn't still be making them.

These are the cases I am currently using, but does not include cases I have tried:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28808929&postcount=2
Also, most leather covered plastic cases run at least 2-3mm thick. A case like the one in the OP would increase the size of your phone ~6mm in every direction. On a positive note it would give you a lot of drop protection over slimmer cases...if that's what your looking for.

I bought the samsung flip case,and I like it very much.
The only thing about it's very hard to get it out of the case.
I used it a lot in the car holder,so in and out.

There is one problem with this sort of cases is that you cannot use a dock and does not allow charging with flip closed....

One further suggestion would be for a hole to view the notification led without having to undo the case!

Yeah that's the only thing I'm not really happy about. Other than that case is great. The usb thing doesn't really bother me ... so I have to have the case open to charge it ... It's quite safe sitting in my desk anyway. It's when it's in my pocket or bag I need to protect the screen.

It's not magnetic. There is a clip at the top of the flip that clicks snugly over the top of the phone. It seems very secure. I'm a little worried the leather hinge may stretch later and compromise the firmness of the clip but time will tell.

Fake SGP Neo Hybrid Color Series Case for only $14.39

I came across these fake SGP Neo Hybrid cases on eBay and purchased one for only $14.39 free shipping, I should be getting one in couple of days and post some pictures and maybe do a review. I contacted one of the buyers who already received the case about the quality, he replied back with the following.
(I did not realize it was fake, until i saw on the side "designed by spigen california". I had never heard of Sigen before, so i didn't know what to expect. Overall i'm impressed by the quality, only the white part is on top en bottom a little lose.. The case is definitely worth the money).
http://www.ebay.com/itm/SGP-Neo-Hyb...392273?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item1e71bf7791
I received the case today and as promised I took some pictures, first two pictures were taken outside so you can see the actual color of the case, let me know if you have any question.
I was looking at these too. I was going to buy one but I go for the Ballistic instead.

I just received mine in the mail today from amazon and it works like a charm
Its half off on amazon and ships via usps
P.S: the stock nib on the S pen has more friction with the screen protector but you can replace it with the clear plastic nib for the same glide. Hope this helped.
As far as pixelation goes, it is a bit harder to spot individual pixels on the battery icon which always stuck out to me.

I've yet to see a matte screen protector that doesn't make the screen look grainy. I usually end up replacing them with glossy ones in a matter of days or weeks!
But the reflections I'm getting is driving me a bit crazy. Is the official Samsung screen protector 'grain free'?
Or are there matte protectors for other devices that are well-known to be ungrainy which can be cut to size?

Incipio Dual Pro?

I'm really surprised that I haven't seen anyone mention anything about this fantastic case!!
I've had one, maybe two, of these cases previously for other phones. It was a few years back, and don't really remember how I liked them. But, they have been selling them for years now, and for most major phones, so I figure they were doing well. I had been through page after page looking for a case that caught my eye. I never could really find anything that suited me, and was about to settle on the official Google (non-flip) case. Somehow, I came upon the Incipio website and found the dual pro. Went ahead and took the plunge on the blue/dark grey version.. I COULD'NT BE HAPPIER!!
Seriously, this has to be one of the best three cases out for this phone; and, in my opinion, it is the best one out. I also have the .13mm Mime glass screen protector; it fits like a charm and has no peeling issues. The "lip" of the inner silicone part of the case actually goes over the edges of the screen protector. Almost as to "protect" it from chipping/peeling.
Does anyone else have this case? If so, what do you think about it? I might can find a camera to put some pictures up if anyone is interested.

I have this case in black. Its a nice case but the silicon part of the case is loose. When you take the phone out of your pocket, the silicon pulls away from the phone. The buttons are nice on it tho and the case isn't too bulky.
