i want get a black one...

Dam nice dude!
Wish we could get these in SA
Would def go for the white cover on the black phone.

I think I just vomited a little in my mouth...

It is okay! Nothing beats the black though! Although i experiment with colours when buying a case.

Is the back flush with the little bump on the bottom of the phone?

Yes it makes the phone flush with the camera, I have the black one and it finishes it off nicely!
Once fitted you can put your phone down anywhere without worrying about nasty scratches on the bottom of the phone.

Sorry friend, but that's the first place I looked for it..tried every possible combination of "Samsung", "Galaxy S2", "extended battery cover", "GT-I9100", "oem", "original"...
In fact I have 2 extended batteries, had bought the Korean version first only to find that the cover doesn't fit, battery does though..then ordered the International version for which both fit perfectly.
Am trying to find an extended battery (official 2000mAH) cover only for the international version so I can sell it or exchange...
So, if anyone has seen one on an online store..plz do let me knw..thnx

i check with samsung service center here in PH. it seems the only for sale is the standard issue and can't buy the extended battery cover only

thanks
Thanks for posting Cey123! I was about to buy the ext battery with white cover, but i changed my mind I will go with the black one. But i will get a white sgp case to.

Looks better than I thought it would.

Thanks.
Going black on black personally though.

White Galaxy Nexus Unboxing [Video]

The White Galaxy Nexus is now available on NegriElectronics for a cool $651.50. I'm personally still waiting for a stateside release for the warranty, but here's a video of the unboxing of a white one I found.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdb-QTx_jjI
UPDATE: Much better video now on Engadget, here's the link: http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/13/white-galaxy-nexus-hands-on-a-taste-of-vanilla-flavored-ice-cre/
Worth it? For the price, you can get the CAN Version with the extended battery and cover...
EDIT: Woohoo! This thread was featured on Droid-Life : http://www.droid-life.com/2012/02/13/video-white-galaxy-nexus-gets-brief-unboxing/#more-61225

Only you can decide if its worth it. Its $52 more than the grey version from Negri. That's the price of an extended battery + cover.
Also, there are already many threads on this lol.

No audio. It's the same phone, just different colors.

hard to tell but it looks like it has a smooth cover instead of textured. Might make it easier for those who want to put back protection on it like a zagg.

Wish they made the front white too.

thats what I thought at first too, but when you consider that the UI is very dark and the top/bottom bars are completely black, it plays better with a black bezel as you can't really tell where the UI starts and the bezel ends.

Completely agree . I like white in front too bit in the end it does end up looking better cause of the ui.

I actually think the black-grey-white combo could look nice.

Looks pretty nice. Really wish they'd make a 32GB GSM version though.
I liked they put a North Americian power charger in there. Gah, I hate my Euro charger with the adapter, such a PITA it comes unplugged all the time.

I will be ALL over this once CDMA drops.

My new Otterbox Atomic case and Elago Stylus

I was having extremely difficult time in choosing which color of the device to go with...
I've had White and Black iPhone 4s before and now I have the Black iPhone 4S.
Through out my life... I've only had black phones... and I felt like White was a refreshing changes.
So, when I actually wanted to go with the White Galaxy S3... T-Mobile was actually backordered with the White device. So I only had an option of Blue of 16GB.
Also, I did my extensive research on which case and stylus to buy as well... so I've finally managed to go with a perfect match for our beautiful pebble blue.
I went with Atomic Blue of Otterbox and the combo of Elago Stylus with Pen and a extra tip.
Otterbox Defender is a amazing case... Not only this make the phone almost indestructible and makes the phone feel like a phone (added weight)
Sure, this case will add bulk and weight to the device, but remember that accidents can happen and this case is a investment for those who are clumsy.
Also, I think the color balance between pebble blue and the navy and green color of the Otterbox case makes it very unique.
I hope you enjoy the pictures and feel free to ask any questions. Oh and I am still debating if I should go with White one still...
You guys can convince me to stick with the pebble blue, instead of white.
(I made a poll option to help me to decide if I should keep the blue or exchange for white)

yessir! indeed. I am guessing you have the pebble blue as well? I want to check out how it would look on White S3

I think blue is cooler. And it won't fade like white phones often do. What do you use the stylus for? I haven't seen the before

I'm using my stylus for s-memo. I was tempted to buy the galaxy note for T-Mobile, but I can just buy the stylus for my s3. It's not as accurate as the note, but it works! Best of all s3 is newer and faster!
So what do you mean by fading for white phones?

Very sharp! I have the same case except it is the Teal (ish, whatever color you'd like to call it) version of it. I have the White Galaxy S 3 in it and I like how it looks. I originally wanted the blue one, but after the employee there let me see both of them in my case I opted for the white. I'd post a picture but I'm not a the 10 post count lol.
How are you liking the stylus? Do they work well on the S 3 for actually writing and things like that?

I love it! It was only $12 @amazon. Honestly I bought this one over the other ones, because the feature of the built in pen and an extra tip as well. Also the color of the stylus (indigo blue) matches perfectly with the pebble blue s3.
Only downside would be when writing on s-memo its not 100% accurate. Meaning writing can be a little aliasing on the edges.
I tried comparing my girlfriend's galaxy note, this thing is super accurate (using s-pen) but using the elago stylus makes it aliasing as well. It's not a bad trade off. Can't complain for $12 and the quality.
I'd highly recommend it! 8/10 because of not being completely accurate.

Hey I have a few questions please about the Otterbox defender case :
- How much does it weight without the galaxy s3 in ? ( 80g, 100g ?)
- How thick is it ? ( add 1 cm to galaxy s3 or more ?)
- Does the screen protector built in can be replace by an other standard screen protect if it's damaged ?
Thank you.
Btw, it's look like a nice case !
Sorry for my english.

I've owned a few white phones in the past. After a year or so they just don't look so bright white anymore. Maybe that's not th case with the s3 but thwts why I personally stay away from white ones. That and white cars. They just highlight all imperfections and any dirt whatsoever.

Im not 100% sure how much it weighs. but it sure does add more weight to it. (I personally like heaviness of the phone)
Thickness is about twice as S3...
And screen protector is built in to the case itself... They are anti-reflection protector. You can take it out and use your own screen protector for problem.
The screen protector is there to be a protection from sand and etc...
I am not a fan of this screen protector, because it gives rainbow effect on the screen, but you'll be thanking this case when accident happens or when the sun is glaring on your phone.
I hope I've answered all your questions. Also, youtube has plenty video on the size comparison.

Damn, the poll saids to get the white phone... I might just exchange it. damn it!

Thank you for these explanations.
Yeah, I have watch some videos on youtube and it's look quite heavy ( personally, I dont like that )

I never felt so dumb in my life. hahahaha

Yeah but in the pocket you feel it very well ^^ It's kinda big and take place.
I will see later if I buy it or not.

Thats what she said
I use the belt clip that came with Otterbox. It sure does look ridiculous on the belt... because it is damn big phone (although it's slim). But you know what, I've been told that the size matters
Anyways, you won't regret buying the Defender series... because Honestly, I think definer series offer better color options and it offers BETTER protection in real world.
Plus, $50 is pretty expensive, but getting from amazon... you can save about $20. so either way, you'll be able to save some money.
Keep us posted on which case you are going with... Also, I might buy SGP neo case, but I've been reading that these have problems with power/volume buttons... so I might skip and get the SGP thin air case instead. I will post up reviews and picture once all these cases arrive.
Also, I have Diztronic case as well (in matte blue). I will post a review and pictures up very soon!

Currently, I'm just with a cheap case from ebay and it fits quite well. I don't know if I'm ready to put 30/40 euros on a case by the way, quite expensive for a protection.
But don't worry, if I buy one, I will tell you
Edit: I just forgot to ask you something; some people said that there is a gap between the screen protector build in and the screen itself. Do you notice it or it was a random defect ?
Thanks.

I understand that you love you phone also, what color is your s3?
To answer your questions, yes that's definitely true. But, I have a extra screen protector on my phone itself.. (now I have to send it back for the dead pixels, and exchanging for the white one). I wouldn't go far as to say it's a defect, but the gap is VERY minimal. You'll be able to tell when you are just lightly tapping the touch screen. but it won't affect the sensitivity of the device itself.
If you don't like that, you can always remove the screen protector and use your own SP.

Also, I would like to know for those people who have voted for the poll.
Why did you guys vote for the white? instead of the blue?

Thanks for the answer.

Nice find? Cheap Hong Kong bumpers in several colors $1.66 free shipping

I've taken a lot from this forum so I'm using every chance I can get to try and give something back.
I don't know if this is a good deal or if it has already been posted, anyways... I found this on eBay:
http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350621601533&clk_rvr_id=426595961112
It comes in several colors and only costs 1,66$, and shipping is free aswell, at least to my location (Germany, EU), just ordered 3 of them so I have different color options for my S3

I have one of these and I'm not a fan at all. Idk why the upper corner is open, but it's very annoying having one corner completely unprotected. Also, it doesn't hold very strong. The choice of silicon rather than tpu for the front part (the back is hard plastic) was not a good one, in my experience silicone is not as sticky or as tight fitting as tpu and causes your phone to pop out fairly easily. Overall, I would not recommend it.

The defender screen protector sux, it makes the display look grainy and makes the screen have a rainbow effect also, i bought it and sold it and got a commuter and used a normal screen protector

Well it's cheap, so you won't be out much if you don't like it..lol I just prefer full body protection or at least all the corners, as they're the most likely to take a hit if it falls.

The reason some cases have one corner open like that is because they were designed for the Korean market Galaxy S3, which has an extendable DMB antennae.
It's a liability for the rest of the world, but a necessity for the Korean market.

Mine arrived today. It's a weird little bumper though. I ordered the orange and black one as I thought it looked kinda cool but the colors are inverted. What's up with that?
Also, it's like they got the bumper from the picture, left if for 3 years in the sun and then sent it to me, colors are all faded.
Also, as someone said before, there's one corner unprotected; God knows why. (EDIT: And so does the user above me, didn't read his comment.)
I'll throw this away probably but thanks for the tip haha.

Not bad.. I might actually try it since my aluminum bumper block GPS signal

bastards... im still waiting for mine but guess itll be the same. I actually ordered this one cause the design (espec. colour) looked better than the other common bumpers on ebay. but judging from your post its probably the same one :/

One corner is unprotected because South Korean version of the S3 has an antenna for DMB.
DMB is basically a service that allows smaller devices to watch TV, almost every single portable devices has it in Korea.

Precisely... and the South Korean version is a little thicker than the international versions too...this might be why these bumpers do not hold as tightly on them...

Magnetic Book Cover EFC-1G2NGEGSTA vs EFC-1G2NGECXAR

I'm having a hard time understanding the differences between these 2 Samsung covers.
What is the EFC-1G2NGEGSTA material? Is it the same as the non-magnetic book cover EFC-1G2NGECXAR? I've seen the EFC-1G2NGECXAR at Best Buy and wasn't really that impressed. It seemed kind of like cheap vinyl/plastic. Is the only difference between these the magnet?

I would like to know as well about this. Why does Samsung have different prices for what it seems to be the same cover?

So I see Samsung now has these in a many new colors. Wow. Well I used my 50% off coupon and bought the official gray cover from their store. Total was about $35 with tax and shipping.
We shall see...

I just got a nonmagnetic one and its really good. Wish It had magnets though because the screen cover is loose.
Sent from my GT-N8010 using xda app-developers app

Has anyone figured out what the exact difference is? I just purchased the magnetic one and saw some youtube reviews of the original. SAME THING! Magnets in the the same place. Same coverage. I just got off the phone with samsung and they couldn't tell me the difference. They say the magnetic one has more magnets. I don't think so. Also they say the materials are different. I'm not sure about that. Samsung guy also told me that they don't make the book cover anymore and this is the new one. Which is why they charge $10 more. In my opinion, they just relabeled the same product and made it more expensive. Can anyone confirm there is a difference?

So I stopped by a local best buy and compared my "magnetic" book cover and realized there is absolutely no difference. Size, weight, material, magnetic placement were all the same.
@dtziheucdavis if you're thinking that the magenetic one keeps the front flap closed it does not. (At least the one I have)
So now I'm wondering if samsung sent me the wrong one if there is a difference.
Any thoughts? As mentioned I spent about 30 minutes on the phone with samsung and after 3 reps later, all they could tell me was that there are more magnets and the material is better (not true through direct comparison). If there are more magnets its non functional.

Well, I just used the 50% off promotion and ordered the red one. I already had the gray 49.99 model, so i will be able to do a comparison as soon as it arrives. Also, I was able to use the coupon to order the s pen holder. It has good reviews on Amazon.
I just would like the option of the screen going off automatically when the cost is closed m or the s pen is re-inserted into its holder on the tab.

I received my EFC-1G2NGEGSTA today. It appears to be the same as the non-magnet one I saw at BB, with the exception of the magnets. Seems OK. I may keep it, despite growing to really like the i-BLASON I got from Amazon.
We shall see if the non-latching (or non-magnet clinging) cover is an issue. I kind of liked the latch on the i-BLASON and the extra padding the case provided.
Took one week to arrive from order placed to received.
EDIT: Really digging the fit and slim profile! I hope it doesn't suck up the scratches.

Hey where exactly is the magnets? On the regular book cover there are magnets too. When I compared my magnet one to the non magnet it was exactly the same. Is there a magnet that keeps the front flap closed? I sat at best buy for 10 minutes comparing my magnet and the regular book cover to find no difference. Thanks.

So the "front" cover has 3 sections (seperated by 2 creases)....a 1 inch or so section near the "hinge", a 4 inch or so section in the middle, and a 1/2 inch or so section. It seems that the only parts that stick are the 1/2 inch section when it is aligned in the middle of the cover back.
Hard to describe without picture, but does that make sense?

That is exactly how my "Magnetic" one is. And from what dtziheucdavis says his non-magnetic one is the exact same. I think Samsung just rebranded and is now charging $10 more for the same thing. Not cool!

I might be a little off topic but I found this case on ebay.co.uk:

It really looks like the official ones that you are talking about, and it only costs £11!
Do you think that there is any trick here? I'm surprised by such a low price and it makes me suspicious, but more than 300 people already bought it and the seller is an ebay top-rated one...
I also had a few questions for the owners of an official case: does the 2 positions (for typing and viewing) hold well? Will the tablet fall if I type a bit strongly on the screen? And also, I don't use the camera that much but it can happen so isn't it too annoying that the camera is covered when you open the case?
Thanks guys!

I bought one 15 € and it's just like the official one (excepted the price).
You have to know that samsung offers 20 € if you buy an official one, so it will cost you only 20 €

I received my red magnetic case today. I can say without a doubt that it is the exact same case as the book cover case. It has the same materials and functions exactly the same.
