I'm really interested to know if the the holder fixing the 'scope to the case is removable (or would be with a little persuasion... *coughDIYcough*) as I already have a modded case. Could you maybe post up pictures of the inside of the case when you get it? Would really appreciate that, dude.
It would be one great accessory, if the S3 camera were up to par. It's unfortunate that such a great phone has such a lousy camera.

Yes and no. If you are holding the camera in your hand and your hans the slightest movement then yes, the camera bites. But if you stablize it, then it is a great phone camera. It is no DSLR, but great for what it is. I will say this, once this lens is on it. You will need to stablize it for sure.
A mod that I would like to try is putting a camera from one of the better HTC phones in this one. That would be a great mod to try. I might try Frankenstein between this and my Rezound. That cameea takes great pictures. But, quite frankly I would rather do this mod with a better camera. Any suggestions on what phones camera I should use? And who want to give up there camera in their phone? Lol!

looks neat, interested to see how well it works
Seems so interesting. I remember that I tried it on Nokia N95 few years ago. The effect is not bad. But there will be a little blur. The telescopic feature of this item is still good!!
This would probably be annoying unless you get a second back cover for your phone. I'm hoping anyone who purchases this has already thought of that.

Its comes bundled with a cover to hold your telescope to the phone
Hey there, I currently have the white S3 and I'm wondering if anyone knows where to get a transparent back cover to replace the white one that came with it. That would be awesome.
No idea but yeah, it would be awesome XD

If you want a transparent back cover, why not just give up adding a cover, I think cover is made for showing individuality

Ya'. That would be totally awesome!! That's what I did with mine. The battery falls out 20 times a day, but who cares!?

HE is from Cleveland, English is like a second language there, so give him a break. how is he supposed to know the difference between back cover, and.. whatever he thought the rest of us are talking about?
you can use the samsung ultra slim covers just without the battery door of the phone, works well. tried it right now.
Closest thing I could find.

It isn't completely transparent, though. Just the outside edges.
You guys are hilarious!
Its a shame that there isnt anything like this. It would look so cool!

I fully agree.
well, there is the one guy that made silicone molds of his back cover, and then made a real CF one... perhaps he can be perswaded to use his molds to make clear ones from some other material?
I think it would look cool but it would also get severely dirty and/or yellow

Well I already fear that my original white back cover will gain that effect anyway, not too worried about a transparent one doing that.
I have a smoke coloured TPU case that looks pretty good. The picked it up on Amazon for 7$ish

1. buy this
2. take off stock backplate
3. put this on
the case is ok.. hard plastic will probably get scratched after a while.

so.. protection AND clearness? perfect for anyone that doesn't want to use an aluminum bumper.
and at that price, who cares if it yellows over time.. buy another.
That is a good idea! Does it fit tightly?
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
yeah it works just as well.. those cases use the sides of the phone to hold the phone so.. shouldnt be any difference

worst case scenario: ad a LITTLE heat (like a tiny bit at a time) just to soften a tiny bit, and then push it closer to the battery. not too much, so you don't melt anything.
here my, it's a Box Wave case with no back cover. i don't use it much cause the power button is to stiff and the side grip feel like sh*t
I remember back in the day, those clear candy bar shape phones with the flashing lights inside was all the rage lol .. these phones just dont look as cool inside lol
Anyone notice any weird, fungus like marks on the back of their S3's? They are like random spots on the phone. I am calling them weird became I have had a case on my phone from day one, and I have never let it go without the case so there is no possibility that it would have got scratched?
Also if anyone came across this and found a way to get rid of them, please let me know!
do they clean off at all? fungus makes me think that moisture got between the case and the battery cover

Hrmmm it could leak out the sides but the back that sounds more odd. I had a battrry on a galaxy s1 do that and the acid leaked out and all over behind the case. Wagt color is it ?

Hi is this sticker supposed to be removed? I can't freaking get it off why did they do this?
Its a clear film and I think its on the glass part only not the chrome becuase I cant remove it for the life of me
It's part of the packaging process. I removed mine using my fingernails.
Yeah, I removed mine as well. Its not a complete piece either. The center is cut out, so its o shaped.

But it makes the center of the lens recessed. Fewer scratches if you lay the phone on a flat surface?

Exactly.
Also, people forget that black area around the camera lens serves a purpose. Without that, your pictures are terrible (see: early versions of white phones).

There is no sticker around the loudspeaker. It is easy to replace a loudspeaker.
