Hey,
I was wondering if some one was willing to part with their additional backplate (for $ of course). The tmobile bag with my box and accessories was stolen out of my car and I didn't think I would need another as I'm usually good with phones. Unfortunately, last night it fell out of my purse, hitting the curb at a weird angle, cracking the backplate. If no one is willing to sell one, could you give any links to somewhere to buy a replacement?
Thanks
It's 20 Canadians on bell's website http://www.bell.ca/shopping/PrsShpWls_PrdAccList.page?currentPageIndex=0&phoneSku=70269
You can only buy it if you live in Canada, which I don't
You can look around eBay and see if somebody is selling any of them. I think I've seen some carbon fiber ones being sold, not exactly the stock one but it'll be a backcover.
Somebody linked this in another thread: http://cgi.ebay.com/New-Genuine-Sam...Fascias_JN&hash=item5194bdfde4#ht_1508wt_1137 It's the I9000 version so I don't know if it'll fit, but most likely it will. Same back cover but has "with Google" on it. Imported from the UK
The i9000 back plate IS identical to the Vibrant's.
I have a few posts in this section on this as soon as someone comes out with some back covers i will be all over them. I want some white ones ones with designs.
I'm really surprised that T-Mobile hasn't launched any additional patterned backs for this phone, considering it's their current Flagship phone.

It has got scratched on the back on couple of places. I want to exchange it in radio shack is that possible?
Please tell me you are kidding? YOU mishandled your phone and dropped it, causing physical damage. Now you want to take it into the store so they can exchange it and eat the cost? Go ahead and take it into them so they can laugh at you and essentially tell you the same thing.
Should have bought a case...
Sorry to hear. I dropped mine the other day and it doesn't have a scratch on it.

Wrap it in a case and learn from the experience.
Buy a replacement back on eBay for around 40 bucks and change it yourself.

This is THE reason places like Newegg used to have great return policies.
Just replace the cover, wrap the device in a cover and stop scamming the system.
If your within your 30 days you can exchange it. You might get hit with a restocking fee. Anyways if you want to make sure you get an exchange done, just brick the phone. Brick the phone to the point where it doesn't boot up. And then just play dumb tell them you woke up this morning and this happened. Trust me I work at Verizon I know the drill. The average radio shack employee couldn't tell you the difference from Odin and RSD... with the current policy radio shack has then they are forced to exchange it. Conclusion would be a faulty hardware. Yea its pretty low doing that, but I have done it multiple times. And its not like radio shack is my best friend, so your kinda screwing them over but they would do the same to you.

That would be dishonest. Better to have a few scratches on your phone than a guilty conscience.

And the first thing they will check is if there is any physical damage to the phone...then laugh at you
Seriously dude, think before you ask a question and use common sense here.
yeah you cant get an exchange just because of scratches. 2 words.. large magnet
Isn't encouraging fraud breaking the rules around here? Not to mention illegal?
OP, I would advise you to NOT to scam the system. You may think it is harmless, but somebody, somewhere will suffer the consequences of your lying.
Besides, it's very dishonest. You're trying to get a new one by claiming a defect when YOU'RE the one who broke it? Come on, you aren't that much of a scumbag, are you?
I decided to go for another phone, so up for sell my Nitro HD. It hasnt been rooted.
Its in decent condition with a few dings on the edges and a small crack on top left (not on screen itself)which doesnt affect the screen/colors.

Well, sad day today. A golf ball landed on my galaxy s3's screen. Needless to say, golf ball > galaxy s3.
Called customer service to see how much it is to be replaced, and with my insurance, its a big 166$. Ridiculous.
EDIT:
My brother works at a Radio shack, and they'll fix it for like 100$.
Has anyone used Radio shack before to get a screen replacement? If so, how long did it take, and did they do a goob job?

Purchase the replacement screen on eBay, watch a video on youtube on the screen replacement. It's easier than you think and wouldn't cost much at all. If your opposed to that I would trust them, it's not difficult.

The 100$ is what my brother said, after looking online it actually ends up to being 329$.
I'm thinking I'll let T-Mobile do it... I don't want to risk destroying it myself..
Kind of sucks though, a golf ball dropped and cracked it as bad as it did, it's at the bottom, like right on the home button, but the crack went to nearly the top of the screen.
Did you check eBay?? I would think they were way under $100 for the screen.

Well I checked Amazon, I have Amazon Prime for free for being a student.. and they are around $15-20.
I just don't want to take the chance that i make it worse than it already is... I'm not good at all at doing things like that, I'd rather it be done by someone who knows what they are doing.
Also, they said I could use a phone from the T-Mobile store until mine is replaced, which is pretty cool..
Understandable you don't want to make it worse than it already is. Try looking for places in your local area, there are repair shops that fix phones and video game systems for a fraction of the cost. Some times on Groupon they have Groupons for say $60 for a screen replacement, that's always another option you could check out.

Yea, I will look around.. But I do like that I can take it to T-Mobile, and they will loan me a phone while it's being fixed. I'll have to odin it back to stock though. Oh well.
Thanks for the input!
Can't hurt to check around. Anytime!
Ontop of having Radio Shack doing it...it will void your warranty...to keep your warranty either have T-Mobile or Samsung fix it.

Well I called the insurance company this morning. They said $150, and that my replacement phone will be here tomorrow.
All is well, atleast it still works so I can use it until the new one comes tomorrow. Glad im getting a new one as well, instead of just getting this one fixed and sent back.
Thanks for feedback guys! :victory:
Well, as new as a refurbished phone can get. Any replacement/warranty phone that congress from tmobile is most likely going to be refurbished. I know because I have one and I'm very nit picky about my phone and always find some small defect with it.

Yeah, I have had that experience as well... Although more often than not, I end up with a busted camera which is more than a *minor* defect...
Asurion sometimes sends out BNIB devices but only if a) they don't have a refurb on hand or b) you've gone through a few refurbs in a short time.
I tried fixing my Nexus One's cracked screen...ROYALLY ****ed it up (just a little too much glue & ripped a ribbon) and ended up wasting $150 even after selling it for parts on eBay.
I would say if you are thinking about doing it yourself and don't have a lot of patience/manual dexterity/proper tools & work environment, don't try.
Also I figure the S3 is probably a lot harder to take apart than my old N1.

Yeah it may come plastic wrap and all but it's a refurbished one. Fixing the one you had at least you knew it was ok and how old it is compare to a used one that may bring a host of issues.

Well got the replacement today, was surprised when i opened it.
It came with the phone, a battery, a back cover, a usb and charger, headphones, a new sims card.
I'm wondering if I need to send back my old battery, or just the old phone?

I'm going to sell my S3 for $300, it's completely new, been in a case from the moment its been bought. So i want to sell it as if I just bough it from AT&T. I'm running CyanogenMod 10 and have CWM as a root. I'm not sure whether or not it's been rooted would mind if it was rooted or not, so should I unroot it? And apparently everyone wants their phone unlocked, so should i do that too? And lastly, i tried to make a recovery before, idk if i did, but i want all the memory wiped..as if brand new.
