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

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?

It is quite expensive for button stickers. I bought it just for the uniqueness of it. These arent cheap plastic stickers, it's metal.

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

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!

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.

LG Hardshell

I'm seeing a few references to what looks like an official LG hardshell case for Nexus 5. Same design on the back as the phone and possibly the same material.

Could be nice, always prefer slim shell cases over bulky ones (although I've just ordered the LG Bumper Case to come with my Nexus 5)

Actually looks the exact same as the "LG Shield " case that Bell has in stock for $20. http://www.bell.ca/Mobility/Accessories
Available in matte white or matte black.

Awesome, looking forward to the review. I was thinking of jumping on the white as well. I'm just concerned with it being a matte finish.
Anything that isn't black with a matte finish tends to stain easily which is probably one of the reasons why the white Nexus 5 uses a different material. I'm hoping that isn't the case with yours, so I can pick one up!

Looks just like the quick cover, but without the cover.
Honestly, the recessed button would annoy me if it weren't for the cover waking the screen. Its not all that easy to press. Other than that it seems like a great case.

I interpreted it as "we don't have them in stock yet". It was pure luck that I happened to be browsing the Bell site for N5 accessories.
I'll post here when I get an update.

Hope these come out in the UK, would be nice to have something slimmer than the bumper case (which is nice btw)

Yeah I couldn't wait for your review! I ordered a white case from the bell mobility site.
We'll see if it's just pre-order or if I get it in a week.
