So I know this was discussed before but a quick search on my end didn't yield any results. So for people who recently have bought the Sony watch, is the new version of the charger cover rubber or plastic. I got mine back in December an its rubber but a friend of mine is thinking about getting one an I remember reading in the beginning about some being plastic, an others being rubber. Anyone know what the final change was to?

Just ordered Black Silicone Skin Case For Samsung Captivate i897. Don't think you can go wrong for 8 bucks shipped.
Will inform you all when I get it and take some pics of it and post
I bought that same case from amazon. It fits well and it does not seem to accumulate dust under it.

I got mine from at&t retail store and love it... its like Fluke Meter armor... just wipe it with a damp cloth once in a while to keep dust off of it and its good to go.

I actually have to say that this is a very nice case. Comfortable to hold and adds a very small amount of bulk to the device. So for the price I paid it's well worth it.
Hey I know this is an older post but have you guys had any complaints about call quality with the silicone cases? I'm on my second one, 2 different styles, and everybody says they hear an echo like I have them in speaker phone but I don't. If I take it off it goes away.
Yes. I got complaints about hearing echoes while on speaker when I have my case on too. It is made of TPU which is similar to silicone but a bit stiffer and more form fitting.

On the bottom of our phone there's a little hole. I'm assuming that's the microphone? If that's the case then yeah I can see how cases would muffle sound.
Maybe drill a hole in cases where that is?
Ordered 1 silicone case, comes with a car charger on ebay.. just around $10.00 now that's a bargain

The one I have has a hole that is about the side of the eraser of a pencil which is much larger than the mic hole. I never have anyone complain.
if anyone is interested i stumbled upon another case/holster combo on ebay
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Gal...012608?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3a6d5e7f00
if anyone has it or has tried it please post your comments...i am searching for a good case + holster combo that has the phone facing inwards (protected)...someone else wrote a bad review about this one..i may be the guinea pig and just purchase this one
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Protector-C...230535?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4cfc3adcc7
i know that the seidio combo is coming out soon (hopefully) im trying to find an alternative so i dont have to spend $60 on that
UPDATE: my case arrived this afternoon
First, I must say...i was skeptical about the quality of the case and holster given that it was so cheap ($13) and that the previous case/holster combo, which was mentioned, was so poorly made...this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/BLACK-HARD-...511168?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item43ab2ab340 (a few people commented on this one and said it was really bad)...
the case and holster are both made out of hard shell rubber...the holster has a smooth felt piece that protects the phones screen when it inside...the belt clip swivels and comes out as a kick stand...i dont know how you are supposed to use the kickstand as the phone doesnt fit inside the holster with the screen facing out...so it guess they added that feature just to say they have it? because you cannot use it at all...the case fits snugly into the holster and comes out/in very easily (and yet wont every pop out on its own, which is nice)...the 1 draw back of the case is that it offers ABSOLUTELY no protection for the screen whatsoever..if you were to drop your phone screen side down it is about as well protected as not even having a case on it at all...my TPU case has a slight bump in the front which prevents the phones screen from touching the surface (table, ground etc..)...this case DOES NOT...overall though, for the quality and price of the combo my opinion is that it is quite solid
also, if anyone has an old case...there is a chance that it might fit into the holster..i have this one...http://www.ebay.com/itm/BLACK-S-LIN...?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4ab072b78b...and it fits however it is not a 100% match so it does move around very slightly...i dont think it will pop out though...i've tried shaking it loose and it seems to stay in pretty well..
if anyone else has bought the case and knows how to utilize the kickstand properly please let me know...the workaround (which isnt very good) is to lay the phone on bottom plastic clip in widescreen mode...i guess you can use it that way if you must...
anyway....for $13 it is worth the purchase if you are looking for a cheap case/holster combo
just so theres no confusion, this is the EXACT one that i bought

The first one looks nice. I was about to buy the one in the 2nd link but another member bought it and said the fitment was horrible and looked cheap from what I remember. I started a thread about the same holster combo.

when you put the phone in/out does it scrap against the holster? i dont want it to strip away the case
not really understanding what ur asking but the phone slides in and out of holster which is a snug fit but I have been using it for over a week and there is no wear on the case and take my phone in and out over 30 or more times aday

alright..thanks for the response...i just bought it as well...should get it sometime next week...i just realized there is no protection on the top or bottom? the rubber case seems to only cover the sides? should i be concerned about that?
Its not rubber its a hard 2 piece shell that covers the whole phone

Yet another video review, I do quite like this case. Any feedback is more than welcome.
What's peoples experience on scratching?
I bought a similar generic TPU case from amazon, although it is OK, I am worried about the amount of dust that collects around the rim of the case/phone.
I have had bad experience before with gel cases, which I think are exactly the same as these TPU cases, with my Galaxy S1, where lots of dust got trapped under the case and eventually caused alot of scratching/abrasion on the shiny plastic case of the phone.
What is everyone elses opinion on these types of cases, or any cases for that matter for getting dust trapped under it?
I have just purchased some of those XtremeGuard full body protectors for my S3, but to my disappointment they do not cover the silver rim around the phone. Has anyone else had scratches on the silver bit yet? If so how easily is it scratched?
Overall I do sound a bit OCD, but I hate getting scratches on my phone as it just wrecks the resale value!

Genuine or not?
Hi Oli2k.
I bought this case from chinese seller on ebay.
I just think mine is not genuine cause there are no rubber caps in the flaps that go INTO connectors. Also there is a text "GalaxySIII" on the back of the case.
I am pretty sure this is not genuine case but the seller claims it is.
In a picture of the case on cover of the packaging is also a text "GalaxySIII".
Someone else have it?

Product pictures are genuine(same as mobilefun), but the case itself is different.
I bought mine from amazon.com and there are no flaps that go INTO the connector, just covering the connector...
as for the GS3 print, I think the international version of the case has the print, because the battery cover does not have the GS3 logo.... the US version does not have the logo on the case as there is already one on the battery cover....
Yours looks genuine to me

Indeed, looking for a battery door/plate, not a case
my current battery back is starting to crack in the two places i have magnets (for the touchstone mod).
i'm thinking a softer back would be less brittle and thus less prone to cracking...
so i'd be much obliged if someone could find one on ebay... which won't cost me $30
You could consider the xtremeguard full body film. I just installed one today and the grip is dramatically improved lol. I got it on ebay for $5 shipped, its a 2 piece kit. Screen and back
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
If you want to maximize grip to the touchstone dock, attach the xtremeguard to your phone, and another piece to the touchstone. The phone will grip really well to the touchstone.
As a side note, I've done the touchstone mod on the stock Sprint door, and the international version of the door, and the international battery door doesn't seem to crack from the deformation resulting from the magnets.
I haven't seen a battery cover other than the plastic one, i think your best bet would be one of those thin back cover.
I read somewhere that if you buy a leather back cover version, you will also get a spare plastic back cover as well. I only seem to remember seeing this in one report and none of the contents lists on retailer sites mention the spare cover either.
Can anyone confirm if you do get a spare plastic back cover when buying the leather Retail version?
My Korean leather version didn't have an extra plastic back.

I want a plastic one, but wouldn't mind it in gold, so thinking of ordering the leather model and just use the plastic one.
somebody posted in the general section about getting a plastic cover. So i guess depends in the carriers
