New shell?

Well I have just dropped my phone thanks to some sh** new gloves. Have been searching for a case also but no where has one.
Can I get a new shell for this? What r my options......?
Fuming is not even the word. Not once dropped my s2 in 6 months.

Ouch. I have a case on the way, don't even plan on using my phone until that thing arrives.
The bad news is that you may have to stomach that for a while, but Amazon has some nice cheap cases for it to cover it up. After a month or two, maybe more maybe less, there will be OEM parts you can just buy. If it's anything like the GS2 replacing the housing isn't that hard.

D'oh that's annoying, but I was expecting much worse to be honest. Get an opaque case and you'll never see it again.

Cheers people. I have calmed down now a bit, but its so frustrating!!!!
Feels like a incomplete device now....
It be OK in the long run tho, I'll change it and it be new again!
Any one running screen protectors?

I know what you mean, I went through it when I dropped my Nexus One on tarmac and dinged the metal.
It's case arrived the next day, sods law.

Well, think that if you had bought an iPhone 4 it would probably be shattered

WOW!
Thats impressive that you can get spares already! I'd like to see how to change it too

I've seen a few in china already, china is usually the first place to get all the parts you need for any phones.

Wait, so the shell contains the camera lens assembly (i.e. in case I scratch my camera lens)? I'm not saying the whole camera, just the lens cover.
That's a surprisingly low price if so...
How do these Asian sellers get this stuff? Do they know a guy who knows a guy who works at the Korean assembly plant or something?

S3 Metal-Slim Sand Textured Case Review

I can't embed the video for some reason so here's a link
http://youtu.be/B6s8GoKXmzs

is there a reason that alot of these cases are leaving those LARGE portions of the phone unprotected?

I agree, not ideal when it seems like a very expensive phone to repair. I've got a few on order that cover the fulll phone, i'll do reviews of those as soon as they arrive.

I've just got the white metal-slim case so i'll post a review of that later. It looks nice but I prefer the feel of the sandy case.

Just a bit of an update on this, the edges of the case have started to show signs of wear which after a week isn't great.
I'll post some pictures up shortly

Thanks for the update Oli2k! Makes me think twice before buying it. Got the same problem with Case-Mate Barely There, the finish is wearing off after 2 weeks.

No worries. It hasn't got much worse over the limited time I've used it but I doubt it would last months and months anyway.

Wooden Case by SigniCase on Sale

I just received an email from MightyDeals, they're offering a voucher for a Wooden SigniCase for only $35 with shipping. If you don't know, these cases have been available for iphones for quite a while. These cases are beautiful, and are sure to bring out the "nature" side of your S3.
Heres the link from Mighty Deals: SigniCase Wooden Smartphone case deal - MightyDeals
And heres the link to the actual SigniCase website: Galaxy S3 | Natural Wood Case for Galaxy S3 by SigniCASE

thanks for sharing.
i wish they had more designs available.

Certainly looks very nice. Let me know if you get one
Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2

looks really nice but i have a feeling it would scratch up the edge when inserting the phone. unless theres a padding around it.

Its nice to see some options out there as i've wanted one since I switched to android
I LOVE the iWood cases for the iPhones and while I don't think these are quite up to that level its certainly a start in the right direction

Wish it was for Galaxy S2 too.

I might buy one. Lovely!

That would be my concern as well. Has anyone used one of these before? They look great!

wood case for samsung galaxy s3

I've seen a few variants mentioned here. Has anyone seen any others than the ones so far on this site?
Thanks in advance.

I just ordered a bamboo case from the Netherlands on Etsy. I'll try to post some pix once I receive it.

Why is this a dumb idea? Not everyone has to like the same thing. Obviously there's a market for this.

Just because its not your style doenst mean its stupid.

if you do a search tehre were at least two that i remember clicking.

I would pay upwards of $70 for a super thin wooden case. Maple or cedar would be amazing. I seen cases but there so fat. Just a super slim one would be nice.

I think quite a few kids that stalk these forums only look for cases that double as megatron transformer protectors of doom. I have a decent otterbox for when I go out to the field (military), and then a few nice thin ones for daily use. If you guys find any decent bamboo ones share the links!

Here’s the bamboo case I purchased on Etsy. I had to sand the base down a little for it to work with my Philips speaker docks, but other than that it's perfect.

What's with the hate on wooden cases? Unless someone can provide proof or situations where wooden cases have caused some sort of excessive overheating/burning... there's no reason it's a stupid idea. I have seen MUCH more ridiculous cases posted by people on this website. Tacky colors, cheap materials, hideous design concepts... how are those any less stupid than a wooden case? People pay thousands of dollars to have wood floors installed in their homes yet in order to improve its look yet it's a stupid idea to pay $40 for a case? Grow up kids.

Could you please provide a link to it or maybe provide a brand name? I'm not familiar with Etsy at all. A quick search on the site only found me a clip on back case similar to that one. Yours looks like its a slider and provides much more protection. It looks great and I'd definitely buy it if it's still available on etsy.
I also found some on eBay but I really hate buying from there especially when it comes from overseas since I almost got ripped off for an "OEM" Samsung Flip cover once before.

Since its not glossy, it's not as slippery as you'd think. And I've heard it works with screen protectors, but I can't really say because I do not have on applied at the moment! Sorry!
