Hi.
In the past I read on this forum about some Mercury colored screen protectors for S3. And not only Mercury..you talked also about other brands. If you don't know Samsung now sell original colored screen protectors! They are way better than other ones. You can see Samsung logo, colors and quality of the screen are exactly the same as without this protector. I highly recomand it!

I know for some other phones that have this: protectors with color on them but clear on the screen part to mimic a galaxy s2 white etc. Is there one for the hercules but black? Thanks!

Ive seen SGP have them for the int'l ver of the SGS2. They dont have it for our phones yet. They recently just released their screen protector which I might try. Still waiting for cases from them but they have no plans.

i love SGP screen protectors, but i hate how the camera and ear speaker is cut out.
is it just as bad with finger prints as without a skin? it sounds gimmicky with "advanced optical enhancement layer"
I would like this too and cover up the t-mobile also.
Put a "galaxy S2" like what is on the back cover
where the t-mobile is.
That would be a screen saver/improver

got the white housing for the gnex and decide to buy the white matte screen protector
http://www.chinagadgetland.com/middle-cover-for-samsung-galaxy-nexus-i9250-white-p-10006362.html
housing from chinabudgetland.com cost $29.50. Everything was great and was easy to install. Only con is that it doesn't come with white button. But i manage to get a huge discount from the owner and ended up paying only $17.50 for the housing and shipping with tracking number. Came in every nice packing and lots of bubble wrap.
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Google-Samsu...s=63&clkid=1418648887061820089#ht_6624wt_1052
the Gnex color screen protector cost $8.88 with free shipping took only 8 day to ship from south korea. Seller sold 35 so i taught it was a trusted seller. Everything was great except the fact that it abit smaller that the screen. But it look pretty nice.

Yeah I figured he was just posting without knowing for sure. I dont think they will ever make a white digitizer as the next model is just around the corner and since its so difficult to replace just the digitizer without ruining the lcd.

The amoled is fused to the glass so its impossible to replace the glass without also replacing the amoled, which is why there are no third party digitizers.
No I really wish they made a white digitizer. I would make a full white gnex if they did.
Also, a white digitizer for the dinc would be nice

Thanks for the pics but I dont think there ever will be a white digitizer. The market is so small for that plus it would have to come with a very expensive lcd screen that just isnt cost feasable. I cant find any surveys but a $250 digitizer is just crazy when a brand new phone costs 350+tax, with the costs surely to drop as time passes. Stickers are our only hope until Fantom decides to release a white glass screen protector which I dont think is very likely. Istyles and skinit are 2 other websites that sell custom vinyl stickers and attached a couple of pics that I found from other threads. A black front on top of an all white body isnt too bad though and have thought about ordering vinyl stickers but am sure I will just rip them off after a day or two of having it on.
Wouldn't it be awesome? To buy a gold faceplate off eBay and install it yourself and end up having a shiney new gold phone. Beat that iSheep! But however I don't think it is possible simply because of the way the the phone was designed - and that was thinness first. Samsung has fused all those layers of glass (glass, touch screen, and digitizer[?]) together so we get a thinner product, but harder physical customisations/repairs. I might be wrong though, has anyone here replaced the faceplate/screen of their SGS3? Would it be possible to spray paint even the faceplate without getting the screen too?
What is your guys opinion on the way this phone was designed? (In relation to thinnest VS hard repairs, not how god damn ugly Apple made Samsung design the phone) Also, if you could, what color(s) would you paint your SGS3?

Really? I wonder how exactly they do it. There isnt anything on ebay thats like "Change your frame for Galaxy S3!" The only way i can seen it is to replace your screen as well. But that limits us to only white, blue and red frames. No to mention its a hefty ~$230

Oh, and where did you buy it from? (amazon?)

Mercury screen protectors. Leaves a 2mm gap all around the phone so i wouldnt recommend it.

I've seen the aluminum cases and they look nice. I'm curious as to if they have a negative impact on the signal strength/ reception. If they don't, I'd be tempted to get one myself!
Yea the housing looks nice. I guess the goal for us all is to have a different colored S3, but preferably without adding bulk to it. The Mercury screen protectors are nice actually, as well as the replacement back cover/housing. So I guess there were more options available that i didnt know about when i started this thread.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I'm still looking at the mercury protectors but it seems that there are 2 versions. a flat one that leaves a 2mm gap from the edge and a curved one that fits perfectly.
I'm still trying to figure out if there's a way to get the curved one. but that is an option for you.
EDIT: and the housing.. you can always buy the housing and spraypaint it yourself.. or even handpaint it if you have the artistic skills.
I have a bezel and home button with infused "diamonds". No stickers etc. Looks nice with the Pebble Blue screen and battery cover.
so i was sitting down on a patio chair in my backyard. the S3 in all its sleek sexiness, slips out of my pockets, falls a mere 4 inches. i pick it up, praying that it does not have a crack. god just wasn't listening this day. it just wasn't in the cards. :crying:
i don't have a warranty and sprint said they cant do anything for me. i just figured i can do it myself. im not a novice when taking apart phones and fixing them. as sick as it sounds, i actually love doing it.
my big question is; are there any black front glass panels with the Samsung logo on them. im going to change the back battery cover as well and have a totally unique S3. this makes me happy.
so do you guys know of any reputable sites to where i can get a quality front panel with glass, in black?
thanks a bunch
or really any other color than red, cobalt and while
:laugh:

The mercury screen protectors suck lol.
The menu button and back button are actually printed on the screen protector itself. And the company name "Mercury is printed on the screen protector right above the back button.
And the mercury screen protector doesn't completely cover the front of the phone, so if you're trying to make a white S3 black, it'll look off.
I ordered three of the black and it wasn't mention, but it has a glittery look instead of just being black. I don't know if all of the colors are like this but it kind of throws it off in my opinion.
If none this bothers you, then order them, as for me, I'm getting my money back.
