Metal cases

I'm not sure why but I love metal cases for cell phones. I'm so happy that there are a few options available for the S3. Not just cases but also metal battery covers and bumpers.
Any one got some? Post up some pics. Imma post mine in a few.

There are already big threads about it, just saying

Metal + plastic = scratches in my mind
Sent from Vzw Galaxy SIII running Cleanrom 1.3

The bumpers got foam inside it so the phone won't scratch

and if you encase your phone in metal, it stops getting reception, and is no longer a phone.

You get 1 bar less, but still good signal, the same with backcover

not if you do both.
he asked about cases. that would be fully encasing.. if you add a back cover to bumper, it drops all bars, not just one each, because instead of letting some signal through. you let none.

I hot and amazing steel bumper with a matching metal battery cover and my reception is awesome. View attachment 1517840

S3 3D Printed Cases Review

I've had the chance to review 2 x 3D printed Nylon cases for the Samsung Galaxy S3. Definitely one worth checking out.

Would the cut-outs invite dusts between layers?

No they don't like each other: D

They are a lot stonger than they look, not everyones taste but certainly a very interesting case.
I got the samples from mobilefun, there is a link in the youtube description but here it is again.

These are definitely unique 3D-printed cases, but they all have the same flaw: dirt & grime will easily work its way under the holes in the layered patterns.
I *would* consider one of these nice designs, but only after they incorporate a silicone or TPU inner core like my Incipio Silicrylic hybrid case.

I think he's talking about the black one? It's the same guy that's complaining about these on every thread about spigen. The black one does scratch the phone on the corners.

Does anyone know how I can purchase this case? The website doesn't give me the option to order it

No I know that. The Slim Armor View is a slim armor with a front cover. They make one for GS4 and GN3. I didn't think they made one for the Nexus 5

Just curious, why you don't like it? I think the build quality is amazing and keeps the phone very slim. Plus, the black model has the soft touch feel similar to the phone.

i have the black one. i like the case alot. feels good. very well built.

Are you guys worried about the gap??

Are you guys worried about your note 4 having a gap? after hearing about the first phones over seas having a gap between the screen and the metal frame. don't know what to think of it, I wanna get the note on the 17th, but am afraid to pre order the note just because I don't want to open my brand new phone to a gap..

Nope.
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I'm not worried at all about it. I've had at least one spot, in every phone I've owned, that had a gap in it somewhere. If this is what it takes to bond metal to glass, I'm all for it. It actually states the gap is there in the manual, so it's a design feature. Check out this video about the gap.
www.youtube.com/embed/r3mNJCNnARo

If the glass was right up against the metal, the slightest drop would cause the screen to spider crack. The plastic had a little absorption abilities but metal will transfer any vibration directly to the glass...so you should be happy it is there...it shows they were thinking.

Had a pair of note 2's in the family for a couple of years they've worked fine all this time. They both had a gap that you could barely fit a sticky note in. Not really a problem.
