Since the camera lens has a large and protuding piece of glass over it, I'm a bit worried about getting it scratched up
Anyone seen a stick on protector (like a screen protector) that is cut exactly to fit this round glass?.
Make your own that's what I'm going to do, use old screen protectors and cut one out

Putting a screen protector on the lens will distort the pictures. You might have to get a case.

Screen protectors won't distort too much as long as it's put on clean. I've done so with my n4.
dbrand will have their skins cover the lens area.
I've read that the XtremeGuard full screen protector comes with some sort of screen protection for the back. Just wondering whether it might be the solution for us with regard to protruding lens. I am not sure if anyone has actually received the product yet to verify.
That skin looks nice!

fyi I had a custom clear protector on the back of my nexus 4 that covered the whole thing including the camera, once in a while I'd have problems with the focusing.

i guess it depends on what you use. if you use the static type i guess itll be better. i only used the adhesive type and it distorted for me

It kinda scratched 3 of my 4 corners as well. Not too bad, but you can see it's there. I really like the case, but taking it off and putting it on risks scratching it. Thank goodness i bought the gel case as well.

It's too tight and I am always afraid that I break off one of the buttons especially the camera button. I don't use this case anymore.
had this damn case and I think since I used it my bezel started to make a clicky noise at the lower left edge of the phone, I probably loosened the bezel when this damn too tight case wouldn't come off or it put pressure on the bezel the entire time and loosened it.
I've had no problems with the case on my phone. I do grit my teeth a little trying to take it off in fear it will hurt the phone, but it hasn't. I have so many people wanting a case with a kickstand for their phone. They are so jealous of my case!

I'm thinking of ordering this case, are you liking it?
I have this case as well. I show some very minor scratching on it and have taken it off countless times. The easiest way I can remove it is by starting in the upper left corner (near the ambient light sensor) and popping it off there. Then I put a nail under the lower left corner and pop it out. I never take it out from the right side first because the camera button isn't as flush as the volume button. The only real issue I have is the case doesn't extend far out enough to protect the chrome lip around the screen. Other than that, this case will hold me over just fine until Otterbox releases a defender for it.
Same case issue with scratching on the same spot. Also waiting for otterbox to come out. At least it will cover the scratches.

I have stop using cases for quite sometime. The main reason is that here in Cambodia it is so affordable and convenient to get gadget flim wrap.
In the past I only use either clear and frosted flims. I opt for colored flim for my SIII.
Here is how it look like.

from the original post.
the point of cases are to protect your phone.
if you want it to just look good, then i think your idea is great.
but when the phone drop face down then i dont think there would be any protection

Is that a wrap on the side as well? if so then how it feel and does it look like it will peel easily? I could use one on my pebble blue phone where the bezel is purple!
I'm going to give the official flip case a try once I finally get my Verizon version of the SGS3 here in the US. I'm bummed out that it doesn't have a magnetic clasp or anything to keep it closed, but at the same time it's a full on case so the phone should obviously handle drops much better. That all being said, the phone is gorgeous and I'm not gonna want keep it hidden! I have the full protection from Verizon so whatever happens to my phone I'll just get another one anyways.
I'm still on the fence. At this point though I'm leaning more towards no case.
i don't think screen protector is of any use because it is gorilla glass
Sent from my GT-I9300
I actually think my white S3 looks better with a Matt black case, because I like the white border around the camera, flash and speaker which contrasts against the black case, and then the black border around edge of phone, I mean not everyone will like that but I dog
I doesn't peel off easily and yes the side is wrapped. So far all the film that the shop doesn't love residue when it is removed.
It is a rough textured. Sort of like mildly used sand paper.

I was looking at this last night, actually. They have two versions, one HD and one not. I read the descriptions of both, but couldn't reach a concise decision as to which would better meet my needs. Do you guys have any suggestions? Just got a 10% off coupon and now seems like a good time to buy them so I can stack it with their discount.

Ok got it in yesterday, just put it on and I must say its nice. Good thing there's 3 as my OCD destroyed the first one lol... One thing I don't care for though is the cut. I wish they would just cover the cam and prox. because that corner by the cam is usually where problems start

Touch is very nice and smooth and no rainbow effect, it's nice and clear.
any chance we can get a pic of the device with them on it? lol I know they are clear, but i just got my s3 today ("upgraded" from a one s) but i know when i had my nexus s (which the sides of the glass were curved kinda like this) there would always be bubbles on the outside.
Also, are they more of a harder feeling protector or are they the 3m kinda that feel a little rubbery (IMO)??
The fell is hard. The cut is short like all the rest thanks to the curved edge

Received my LLOYD Anti-Glare & Anti-Fingerprint Screen Protectors. Took two weeks to get it to Belgium. Not bad.
Installation was really easy. just one dust pixel.
pro:
no fingerprints! i cleaned mine every chance i get.
I actually like how the touch feels compared to clear ones.
no screen glare
cons:
loss of brightness/quality. I also can see little tiny dots. Like looking at a old television up close. Going to keep it a couple of weeks to see if it still bugs me.
Whats the chances we will see a flip cover that attaches it self to the phone using a magnetic strip along the bezel of the phone (this is assuming the bezel is aluminium)
a bit like the surface tablet keyboard cover (without the hooks)
will the aluminium be magnetic enough to hold it?
Z
Aluminium is paramagnetic (=very weak magnetism), so it's probably not enough for a cover.
But maybe they install a small magnetic area somewhere inside the cover, so that the flip side can attach to it!? Who knows...

I don't think it'll be 100% pure aluminium. Doping is always done to make such bodies durable

Does the case cover the notification LED? I know it probably wont but its hard to tell from the pictures.
Hmm yeah, you are right. It doesn't look as good as I have imagined. I'd have to hope for a better quality flipcase. Or I'll get poetic bumpercase. Not sure.

I've just checked for you and it partially covers it, but it could be different with someone else as the front cover moves so it might be a slightly different fit :good:

Cheers. This could be a deal breaker for the flip case if it makes the LED redundant!
So I've noticed a lot of people on here are worried about glass screen protectors for this phone since it has round edges and the protector doesn't actually cover the edge. I have a "liquid" screen protector that I got for my Moto 360 a while ago but I've been too afraid to use it. The instructions it came with are very vague. Does anyone have experience with this stuff? (I've seen it used on other devices, supposedly)

So, I don't have any experiences, but I think that it have too work. As far as I know these liquid screen protecters work on all kinds oft glasses. But around the camera is maybe a slit where this liquid glass could come in, so take care
Sorry for my bad english, i'm from Germany
I also had a liquid screen protector for my previous phone. It was a bit scary and looked difficult to apply. But it was really easy. Also think that it protects better than glass screen protector, because of the finish. Front camera wasn't really a problem since it is a clear surface.
This glass screen protector fits perfect!

I'll give this a try
Had one of those but didn't like it.
Installed as well as that one with the edges hanging off, kept snagging it with my fingers.
Fitted well with the 2 styles of official cases (plastic and silicon) but wouldn't fit with a Spigen.
Also didn't like how the black borders on the sides took away screen real estate.
Using another style but still not enough coverage, just need 1 millimetre more and it would be perfect.
