Don't buy from cellphone_parts on eBay

Doesn't list the item as OEM... but claims it was via message.
Not OEM. Poor fitment. Cracked already and had imperfections.
Doesn't line up with the flash, pushes up against the speaker and camera. No bueno.
This is the follow up from a previous post that was floating around.

Cool story bro, I have been buying parts from ebay for almost 10 years & never had an issue.
Anyone that says one thing PM and another on the add is suspect and should not have been given business. Period.
Maybe the shopper should do more research 1st next time.

There is a company in China that goes by the name "OEM".
So the eBay sellers often use that MFG to sell products, pretending to be true "OEM" products.
Very confusing and eBay should put a halt to this practice.
Really needs to be a craigslist type of system where users can "flag" this or other types of auctions.

I hit my 10 year anniversary couple months back and it was never an issue for myself until recently. Way too many things from China. I've learned to just not buy anything from China anymore. The thing is... the Chinese manufacturers will have a warehouse in the US and ship it all from there. Then they claim to be state side. Bummer.

Samsung Mobile USA posted on its Facebook that it's sending a coupon for 50% off accessories.
Here's the Facebook status:

My phone is registered but what is Owner's Hub? I don't see an app for it on the Play store or anywhere on my phone.

It's linked to Facebook, but it didn't like my IMEI. Too bad, the coupon would have been nice.

I hate how everything these days is linked to facebook and twitter.
Guess I miss out on this deal. Don't want to make a stupid fb account.

i guess it's only for US gs3. entered my canadian imei, didn't work. thanks for the post tho.
if anyone got the code and wouldn't mind sharing that'd be awesome!

It's not worth it. Have you seen the "accessories" on their site? There's 12 things for the S3.

It's pretty funny what I did the other day and I had to share.... I used the coupon code for an accessory and I added a "Development Verizon S3" and it took half off of the phone too and it even let me checkout and I got a confirmation e-mail and everything! I ordered (2) of the 32gb models and it was almost $700 with tax... I should have just tried to get one and maybe it might have slipped by the radar but unfortunately they caught on and cancelled my order... LMAO I knew that was gonna happen but I HAD to try.... Maybe one of you should try to just order a phone with one accessory and see if it goes thru?? YMMV crazy that it would even let the order go through though.... Like I said, I had to try!! :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

i'll be holding onto my coupon until the last eligible day, hoping that the wireless charger gets released.

Great info
Thanks

EVERY accessory I click on only has a link to a different seller. How do I buy it on their site? I like how they make like 7 different color flip covers.

Lifeproof coming to S3

Lifeproof
Yes, there's a Lifeproof case coming out soon. I spoke with they're customer service this morning and they couldn't give any particulars on the release date, or price. Bummer! But, it's nice to see they considered working with such a great and "successful" phone like the GS3c

I'm not sure if it's still coming....
It's already more than two months again since this could be found on their website and right now this site can only be opened through the direct url, there is no link on the shop main site anymore...

These companies are all the same, the have these cases ready to go for the iphone but regardless of how many units Samsung has sold for the S3 they are just now trying to roll them out. If this is like other manufacturers this case won't be ready for another two months if that. /rant :highfive:

Don't mean to hijack the thread. I was searching for a waterproof case today for the S3, and I remember seeing this for the Iphone. However, I just saw where otterbox is coming out with a version of this. http://www.otterbox.com/armor-series/armor-series,default,pg.html

U.S. Availability?

Well as the title says, why (outside of ebay) is this not available? I really want one and am debating on dropping the money on it soon (metal band version) but I just wanted to be sure since you guys have it, if I should since this seems to be a device being supported outside of the U.S. Will I still get the updates and will I have everything I need in order for it to work out of the box?
P.S. The metal is hovering around 250, not bad in my opinion, but the regular ones have dropped in price in the past week. I mainly looking at it as a smartwatch only since I have a fitbit for health stuff, so would you guy spend the extra for the metal as well? and before you say get the cheaper option then buy a band, the bands are also not available in the U.S. for sale, but when I changed to the U.K. store on the sony website, they have the option.

The black one is available on Amazon, being sold by Amazon (not one of the 3rd party sellers).

My error. Yes they have always had the watch. I thought we were talking about the band by itself

well at least I know there's a backup, I prefer the metal band version though as it carriers an ip68 rating and since it looks like I won't be finding a metal band for sale in the us anytime soon

They all have the ip68 rating.

Then I stand corrected, but most of the sites list only the metal band as 68

Benuo Leather Card Case

Hey guys, I recently got hooked up with the sweet case. It's made by a company called Benuo. I got the black version.

I really liked it. It definitely will come in handy on a vacation or short get away. I tested it in a few different scenarios. It doesn't work with Samsung Pay if you have two cards in it (which is the purpose of the case.) If you don't use Samsung Pay, this won't be a big deal. I use Samsung Pay for nearly all my purchases so the case will only be used when going somewhere where I'd like to have less in my pockets.
I also tested it with wireless charging. That was a hit or miss. It worked with my stock Samsung Wireless Fast Charger but didn't with my off brand wireless fast car charger. Also, when I did wireless charge it, it retained a lot of heat. (I'd recommend not using the case while wirelessly charging.)
Overall, I think the quality of the case is decent. It gets the job done while providing its purpose, to hold two of your cards. I don't see myself using it unless I will be on vacation or going out. That isn't to say that it isn't a great case cause it is. I'd definitely recommend it to someone who would like to save some room in there pockets.

Link leads to lola who is one of amazon's dogs. Nice dog, but otherwise, probably NOT the product you are hoping to show.

Lol, Now that's funny . But would like to see case pictures...

Fixed pics. lol

I too picked up this case. I have to admit... I really like this case. The fit is good but the corners are not snug. I thought that was a flaw until I needed to use Samsung pay. It came right off with no issue and came back on.
The leather is legit. Stitching was strong. While it won't be my daily driver, its good when I go out.
