Did some one else also got their phone cracked?
I babied it since I bought, not even a minute scratch, every thing pristine. Called customer service, they claim any physical damage is not covered under warranty.:crying: Even sent them links and posting full of same problem.
NEVER going to buy any Samsung products.
mind posting a link to this cracked case?
The top left corner of the back has a nice crack, developed in a week because of their plastic. I just went on eBay and got another one for cheap. Never dropped it either but oh well, at least the screen is in tact

Mine too. I told Samsung about it just to let them know about poor build quality, they kept trying to get me to send it back to them so they could rape me on fixing it no matter how many times I told them that I didn't care about the crack I was just letting them know that I was disappointed in the quality. I think I am done buying samsungs, I will go with Google branded devices from now on.

I was a die hard Samsung person until my s3 I have a Samsung fridge, 2 Samsung TVs, 2 captivates, a blue ray player, a focus 2, a Bluetooth earpiece, and I recommended Samsung to everyone. I am quite disapointed in the way they handled my advice, I wasn't asking for service or a replacement, I was just letting them know I was not happy with the quality of my device. So I think I am done with Samsung for a while, I love my nexus 7 so I will be going Google for the time being.

NEVER!!!
I had their plasma, paid ridiculous high price 11 years ago, still going very strong. Windows OS Focus phone, great quality. But now after knowing their problem, how they treat me. I will even persuade others from buying their products.:crying:
Lol I thought the whole time the cracks were part of the bezel hahaha I have 4 of them one in each corner. What a coincidence lol but yeah they don't bother me. I always have my phone in a case, but yeah I totally thought it was part of the design and I noticed the bezel is all uneven around the screen... Some gaps bigger than others... Samsung always has issues on their bezels.... The Note was the worst. Not OCD about it. But I did notice it

I used to baby my phone, but I couldn't find a good screen protector that worked with my case.
I love using the matte-finished screen protectors that are reusable (I'm using the Mochi brand). I'm still very careful about my phone, though.
Noticed a fresh crack appeared in bottom, on top of USB. Looks like whole bezel will fall apart.
That sucks. So far, no scratches after about 8 months use. Good to be on the lookout for them though!

I bought my nexus from Google play and called Google but they said they can't give me a replacement but they can put me on to Samsung to send it in for repairs. I followed through and they gave me all the numbers and what not but the only reason I really wanted a new device was because of the scratches on my screen, and I don't think I can live without my phone for 10 days. What should I do, is there any way to fix the scratches? Would a screen protector cover it? Should I call back and complain seeing as though these issues were here since I bought the phone but I went on vacation on the third week after buying it.

I doubt complaining will help. The fact you have had it and used it for 3+ weeks without noticing the scratches are probably the reason Google are reluctant to replace it FOC. They probably assume you would notice and make a claim after a day or two, not a few weeks. A decent screen protector MAY cover the scratches and for a few dollars/pounds/euros its probably your best and easiest bet.

So... I bought my galaxy s3 from tmobile customer service. With a full upgrade I've only paid $ 179 of 16gb.
I've wanted the white one but they were sold out in 16. So I've went ahead and placed a exchange of the 32gb.
The first (white 32gb) had many dust stuck under the sceen... and interfere with the camera as well... so I've called to get me a same but different one that isn't defective this time. (New in box course) now the new one has huge gap on the metal bezel area... I could fit like 5 business card.
So I called again and placed another one...
This time I've told them to put a notation on my account so that the manufacture date is most recent... (both of my defective white phones were made in 7/4/12)
Where as my blue one is perfect...besides the dark pixels.
I really think Samsung's quality control isn't as what they claim to advertise as... I understand that no phones are perfect... but at least do a better job at hiding... lol
So in my opinion I could be getting a bad batch or just unlucky... I will keep you guys updated with my next replacement in white.
Please tell us your experience with similar problems.

No he's not, he's paying for a new product so it shouldn't have any defects or problems. What's the point of a 720p screen if it has dust underneath. My 2 yr old g2 doesn't have any dust whatsoever so why should this.

Not quite sure why everyone hates zagg. I'm quite fond of their products. I had an invisible shield on my S2 for the entire life of the phone and it was great. I've never had a protector that self heals like the zaggs do. Also have the hd for my s3 and really liked it but my tpu cases bubbled it up so I'm sending for a replacement (another plus)

I went through 3 zaggs with my wife's iPod and 2 for my old blackberry. Then I tried one with my s3 and just another disappointment. Needless to say all our devices are zagg free. There is no way that im that unlucky to get all defects. So my opinion is that they are very low quality and shouldn't charge as much as they do for their inferior products. My blackberry has a $5 screen protector that lasted 3 years and is still on there. Currently my s3 is naked until the revised specter comes out.

Just picked one up at Best Buy for $35 and this thing is pretty thick! It's so thick it sits higher than the home button. Smooth as butter. I'm still waiting for it to completely dry but I don't think it's as clear as the Zagg HD. Makes the screen look kind of grainy. Oh well, I still like it. Definitely not going to test its durability like it was in the iphone video.

We do have a subsidized phone available through T-Mo, so I'm inclined to use that.
GS3 seems like the obvious choice, but I'm loathe to hand her electronics destroying hands a new phone (this is her 3rd phone in just over 2 years. The others were similarly destroyed).
I'd be very tempted to hand her the GN and keep the GS3
How annoyed am I going to be with the GS3?
Other ideas?
And why couldn't she have waited a month until the Galaxy Note 2 came out?

Perhaps you could look around and checks phones that will have a nice resale value right now. Not sure what choices you have with tmobile. A gs3 could be had for $200 upgrade price, flipped for $500+ and then buy a nice little mid range expendable phone that will get the job done. Or maybe buy two. This method has it's goods and bads, but if a smartphone is really needed for phone amd text, and the extras for distraction/minimal tasks and getting on the web for fun, reading or tips on breasts hurt while breastfeeding then this might be a good path. Otherwise, get a nice little unlocked nokia or moto for cheap until toddler destruction improves.

The key word I see here is toddler, give the toddler that busted sensation. That way he/she has their own phone to dunk in coffee. The other thing is to teach your wife the proper way to deal with water damage, ie battery pull and rice.
And teach her not to put her phone in front of a baby. And tell her she won't like it the next time it happens.
Will the next nexus have a longer screen?
why does she need a phone in the kitchen in the first place?
Just curious. I got my SIII on the 29th and haven't bothered with a case yet. My previous phone was an archaic Motorola Razr V3m that I had for 5 years and in that time I only dropped it a couple times on the carpet, and once it hit my closet door track which did put a ding on it. I'm thinking of just forgoing a case.
Only have ghost armor in mine. No hard case.
Dropped quite a few times. Usually just the battery case pops off in the harder falls. One fall left an slight dent that I didn't even notice till later.
Have dropped on sides and front. No screen cracks yet. No scratches...only because of the skin that covers the full body.

This was a common issue with the t989(s2) right out of the box it's a defect call T-Mobile and get a free warranty replacement. Probably shouldn't mention the drop although pretty sure that has nothing to do with it as I'm on my second s3 and they have both had dark spots. It took me three tries to get a perfect s2

Yeah I plan on keeping mine for a while at least when my manufactures warranty is coming to an end I'll have a legit reason to get a brand new/refurb phone.
Yea those dark spots were bad on the t989 actually very bad. The gs3 is a long way from that but this is definitely the result of their amoled screen
I'm using a D30 case from T-Mobile but I have never dropped my phone, I rarely leave it out unless it's on the charger when I'm in bed. I don't get how people don't protect their devices in some way.
The glass of this phone seems to cracked too easily, so I bought a case for this phone. This is the first phone I ever feel that need a case. I had the galaxy s and the iphone 4 and both were never in a case.

I bought the GS3 at full price no contract or upgrade, I'm not trying to tell anyone how to take care of their things but if anyone is willing to just throw away 650$ because not having a case on their device is restricting then my hands are willing to catch it lol.
