From the looks of it I don't see anything. Is the frame dented or something or by how much? Are you still under warrenty?

it's 6 days old, if you zoom in a little bit in the last picture, it's only visible on the left upper side, a slight bump in the frame.
If i take it back there is a chance that i might get a new one with the "mura" effect or the creaky back cover.
Sent from my SM-T705 using Tapatalk

I got mine from Walmart lol. No problems so far either. For the mura effect just put on a black background to see if there is any greenish or odd color when you are looking at a black photo. The creaky back is due to a heat of the cover or a bad back cover to it.

No greenish color or creaky back cover on mine, it's just that little bump in the frame, i don't know i might just cover it with a case. Mine is 4G, got it for 479usd mainly to have bigger screen for reading and better battery life than my Nexus 5' 2.5hrs SOT!

Oh. On my tab S I have a bump that bumps out on the back of my cover. Other than that there's is no problems with mine and it's barely noticeable.

I guess Samsung is not so good with quality control, but to be honest, i really like the device despite its flows and i think I've made the right choice, the screen is better than that in Z3 tablet compact. I don't like ipads and ios and I've heard that the nexus 9 is full of issues; irresponsive touch screen, heat issues, apps not been compatible with the 64bit cpu, lags.. You name it! Lol.

Hello! Same happened with me (Russia, Moscow).
Have you returned the device back to seller? Or may be a warranty service?

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.

No I dont, what I can do is when I visit the shop the next time I will look for the film maker/ brand.

it's just a film, you'll still get a dented casing if you dropping it.

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.

Is the Tab 10.1 compatible with Note 10.1 accessories?

I saw the Galaxy Note 10.1 bookcover case and I just was interested in seeing if any one else wants that case. And if you think the dimensions are the same as our original TAB, so we can use it.
I have the redesigned Tab2 flip case and it fits my original Tab perfectly (except it covers the flash on the back camera, but who uses that anyway!)
But one thing that bugs the heck out of me is when I angle it as a easel to type, the lip doesn't stay in the groove (guess it's not deep enough) and it falls flat with the slightest bit of weight from my wrist.
So I am really feeling this revision 3 design of the book cover case. I'm just hoping that it will work with our TAB.

I think it is the same too, just from the fact that my original 10.1 fits in the 10.1 2 case (wow, really Samsung?!) And I believe the dimensions are the same for the note and the 10.1 2. I will find out when the case is released. I believe it will be around September 5 or so. And I'll report back.

Sorry it took so long to reply (moving from California to Florida) but here are the pictures you requested.
It fits perfectly on my Tab, but I did add a little rubber "foot" as you can see on the last image to kinda stop it from collapsing down when I use it and typing mode.
(BTW, still checking Samsung website and calling bestbuy for the note case, so when it comes in, I'll post pics.)

EDIT: also a comment about how slim does it feel ? I'm currently in market for a slim case for my tab. It would be really helpful. Thanks
There are two different tablets, so the accessories are different...
I think It would fall out, since its about 1 cm wider than the 10.1 ....

Keep in mind any metal battery 3rd party battery door will loose all NFC and QI wireless charging. Since u cant even find a good case from the BIG case vendors dont be sad if you never see a metal door. Im so Pissed a LG for not giving this phone more attention so companies like Seidio and otterbox start making cases. There is no commercials on tv about this device at all. Samsung is all over the TV. Im keeping my G Pro until the note 3 comes out. I dont want to go back to a note 2 when the note 3 will be out in under 4 months. Another bad thing is no ROM support. I wish the HTC ONE was at least 5" and I would of gotten it. The S4 looks nice but im too use to 5.5".

This is going to sound weird. I'm kind of glad that there aren't many cases for this phone because I'm a case whore!!! I have 7 cases for my nexus 4 for crying out loud. Not to mention the ones for my previous lgog, GS3, Xperia ion, Gs2 and infuse. Don't know why I still have them. I have almost 40+ cases sitting upstairs. I think I'm a horder?!

I would agree. Your a case whore. LOL. Sell some cases. Your like me. I have 3 at the moment for the G Pro. I had a dozen for my Nexus 4. Like 4 different colors for my Note 2.
Skinomi makes quality products! I had their carbon fiber wrap for my old Asus Transformer Infinity tablet & keyboard. Not only was it gorgeous but, I never had issues with it. Just takes patience to fit on the curved sections of a product. That being said, since I use a case it doesn't bother me not having a metal battery door of some sort although that HTC One looks gorgeous from the factory!

Question: Metal steel bands and back of watch

I want to ask the community if anyone has seen any issues with the metal band on and the back of the watch. I'm concern because the band is almost stressing the back side of watch when the band is pushed down or simply wearing.

Yep. I removed my metal band for exactly this reason. Put back the leather strap. But I'm still concerned.
If you can get a closeup side picture of the curved lip hitting the band its even scarier. The edge is quite thick.
We need someone (expert) with Dremel to cut off the curved lips and polish a straight edge on both sides.
Good luck volunteers....

Yes! I Don't want to ruin the beautiful watch. Now I wonder how the official Moto 360 metal bands are design.
No problem here. Because of the little tab rather than the full end link. Not using the pebble steel band. Just another band I am not using.

Not that one. Super Engineer yes, Cerberus has a removable end link. Forgot to mention that I had to scratch out the notches down in the watch, which may void the warranty, in order to make it fit.

How is your bronze edge holding up?

Hi guys
Just wondering after a lot of usage..is the bronze edging still in good shape for most of you??
Im not if it will peel "bronze paint??" after heavy use or is it pure metal?
Thanks

I I've had mine since July and its holding up well. I've had a minor peel near the charging port (unsure how it happened) but its white underneath. Its nothing too big but I am positive its a paint I hope. If you would like a picture of it let me know!
Basically it won't peel under heavy usage. My little brother might have been a little rough when plugging in the charger
Sent from my SM-T800 using Tapatalk
I wish the charging socket had a little arrow or something on edge when looking from above, sometimes i have to look at the side of the tablet to connect it correctly, I dont have any paint peeling or missing and hunt around sometimes with the microusb connector before it connects.

Mine has been great. I use it a lot and only have the smart cover.

Ugly? :what:
Use mine loads from buying a year ago and its got no marks and no peel of the bronze.
Mines cracking on the corners even though its been looked after, had same problem with s3 cracked all round the beading even though it was in a case....high prices for low build quality..
No peeling or creaking on either of my Tab S
Mine is holding up well also, however I cheated. I put on a full body skin by Skinomi to protect just this. Highly recommend it.

Are you kidding? That's the reason I bought it over the white. I prefer the bronze as its different . If I'd have wanted an iPad lookalike I'd have bought one.
no peeling since july 2014 .. heavy usage almost everyday

We know. I quite like it, I looked at loads of tablets before buying the tab s and everybody I show it to is impressed with its looks.
It's really quite thin. One main selling point plus the huge amoled display. Never cease to amaze others
Mines holding up alright just slight peel in the top corner.
No peeling, but I have a crack in the corner by the headphone jack hole. I got that on a drop with the Samsung case on.
No peeling. Just a few creaks near volume rocker. Probably due to device heating because of gaming.
