Anyone have this pouch? http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/genuine-samsung-galaxy-s3-pouch-navy-blue-efc-1g6lbecstd-p35411.htm ? I had an OEM pouch for my HTC desire, but haven't heard much about this one.

Which battery has the largest capacity but with the same size as the stock so the phone doesen't get bigger? I know Mugen has a battery with 2,300 mAh. Is this the largest one?

That is an awesome list and i just found out about the Verison Wireless charger. It looks SWEEET <3<3<3
[Galaxy S III Accessories] eyecon82:
too bad samsung hasn't released the OEM wireless charger like they promised
[Galaxy S III Accessories] clait:
could it be that the phone doesn't charges if you're not using its original usb-microusb cable? I've been testing a few and even if the phone shows that is charging it's really slow (~15hrs for a full charge)

any experience?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] nerys71:
that is correct some USB cables flat out don't work properly. (as you noticed a trickle charge its even possible for the phone to DISCHARGE while charging)

I use kindle usb cables. very nice very high quality and so far 100% samsung compatible.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] clait:
Thank you, that's very helpful.

As far as I can see it mostly depends on the cable's diameter rather than the brand, I'll try and order ASAP a Kindle's replacement USB cord from Amazon!

This also applies to chargers am I wrong? Is the Kindle's one compatibile as well? The Samsung's one is SO expensive for what it is and the compatibile one I bought at the electronic store doesn't charges my phone, it rather discharges it even when not in use
[Galaxy S III Accessories] nerys71:
nope. my kindle wire is one of the thinnest I have. its more "how" its wired up inside the plug is my guess.

the samsung one is CHEAP dude. hit ebay. I get them for $3 a pop. (they are pretty nice cables but the plastic ends are brittle) and thats with the transformer.

Here is $30 for 5 sets (cable and transformer)

http://www.ebay.com/itm/220872662569

$2.16 a pop for just the cable

http://www.ebay.com/itm/380482537177

and there is a 100 auctions or more for the cable for $3.95 a pop (all prices are "shipped")

the kindle cables are expensive but I like them :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] clait:
Wow that's way cheaper than the retail price in the stores here. They go for like 30$ for the charger+cable set, each.

I bought a couple of samsung's oem cables like the ones you linked tho but they were designed for the gs2 and didn't charge my phone :/

if you're telling me that those you linked are working i might give them a shot a buy a couple of them!

cheers
[Galaxy S III Accessories] nerys71:
that's odd. my GS2 cables charge my S3 just fine. you may have a bum cable or bum charger.

Are there any good slim cases that won't discolor right away?

[Galaxy S III Accessories] nerys71:
I found a TON more goodies for the S3 (china is ramping up baby !!) I have many of these enroute now (CAUTION search ebay !! many times you WILL find it cheaper I ordered the 5x lens for $23 then 10 minutes later found it for $15 GRRRRRRR)

I got a 4x and a 5x lens kit. these are not the simple mag attach versions they come with a "hard case" and you screw the lens into the case. I am hoping this means higher quality results !!

Just search ebay for "galaxy s3 4x" (or 5x) without quotes. around $15 to $23 a pop

Got this FILTER thingy (silly but it was cheap so why not) $7

I have not gotten this yet but they have a 0.4x lens getup. I may get that one next week (well order it next week will take 2-3 weeks to get here)

Also found a nice THIN orange back cover. not something I will use for got it for a few bucks to review

combine the OTG plug with the mSD reader and you have a nice small rigid method of jacking in external storage to your phone without an annoying wire.

Also found the attached 3d hybrid spider case (just search for that adding galaxy s3) got it for my brother they also have it in black white blue and pink.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] nerys71:
Found a 1.5x zoom as well as an 8x and 12x zoom lens (all with backs) all around $15 to $22 the 8x can be had for $8 the 12x is aluminum and might actually be nice.

found a 20x super macro (I am going to order this one)

otg with power tap

polarized lens (nice but not at $46 !!!)

port cover plugs $3

smurf cases ! :)

wide macro combo with back. I HAVE a bunch of the widemacro combo's (about $4 on ebay) but I want this one since its the screw type with the back. $15

I will take detailed pictures and post reviews of the ones I get :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Badelhas:
Damm, I didn't know about the existence of such exotic accessories, I look forward for your mini review on them! ;)

I already bought:

- acase superleggera pro case (very good)

- spigen curved crystal screen protector (very good also)

- hdmi connector

- samsung USB otg connector

- samsung stand charger with extra battery, charges both batteries simultaneously

- samsung 32gb class 10 micro sd

- car charger

- car holster

But what I would really like was to exchange my i9300 for the i9305 with lte and 2gb ram. Damm you samsung for launching it just ust days after I bought this one!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] TyronezzZ:
i'm buying my accessories from qoo10(gmarket) ... but i don't know how is the shipping fees to foreign country .. but anyway it's cheaper than buying from shop...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] nerys71:

[Galaxy S III Accessories] ddaleus:
Anyone is using incipio silicrylic? I can't decide between that and Tough Case.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] s_special:
Are all galaxy s3 cases interchangeable? I search eBay and see a ton for the i9300.

Would those work for ours?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] sekigah84:
Yes they are all interchangeable. The only time it would be different is when it's for extended batteries
[Galaxy S III Accessories] eyecon82:
Yep. They all fit the s3 no matter which one you have
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kms108:
If you are talking about S3, the answer is no, if you are talking about i9300 then yes.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] s_special:
You have confused me. Isn't the i9300 a variation of our phone (the S3)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kms108:
not all, the korean version and japanese version is not labelled as i9300.

korea version is shv-m440s/e210s/k/l

japanese version is SC-06D

the korean version is slightly thicker.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] pendevous:
I also think that the LTE version of the S3 has a different code compared to the international i9300. I am not yet sure, though, since the LTE S3 is yet to arrive here in the Philippines.

To sum it up, though, all i9300 are S3s, but not all S3s are i9300.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Badelhas:
Correct.

In Europe The lte version of the s3 is the i9305.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] s_special:
I was under the impression that Samsung all S3s were identical (externally). This would be smart to allow for a more rich accessories market
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Badelhas:
They are, except for the Korean version which is thicker

I have the original flipcase from samsung and now it is time for something else and i found this, a real carbon fiber case.

Thinking of buying one only thing is i have a pebble blue s3 and thing the combo dont look that great.

does someone on xda have this case ?

[Galaxy S III Accessories] Erachter:
Guys, what do you think about this case?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fvha_nxJhkQ

I am thinking to buy it...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] nerys71:
Erachter I see several serious problems with that case.

#1 its metal. its going to stop NFC from working and its going to get hinky with your wifi and cellular signals.

#2 its a skin case. NOT a dual layer case. notice you install it by slipping it into the case you do NOT remove the metal outer shell.

this means there is nothing holding it "INTO" the case but the rubber and by the installation on that video that does not look like much of a hold to me.

IE I would not trust this case. the metal signal issues asside if it was like the typical hybrid multi layer where you install the rubber and then the metal would go on top and "HOLD" the rubber in place it might be better.

I would not trust it.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Erachter:
Thanks!

I don't use NFC.

I just don't know what to buy , coz in my country there are few cases.

http://kub.md/index.php?route=product/category&path=100

I found this link and in in it is all what in my country is and we don't have access to PayPal, so we can't buy from other sites(ex. Ebay).

Right now I own a capdase matte case,but I buyied it white and now it is blue :D,don't know why :D

And yes,I don't like flip covers.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] nerys71:
Hmm no NFC you might get away with the metal (you won't know till you try it)

if I was limited to what is on that page I would go with this one

http://kub.md/index.php?route=product/product&path=100&product_id=778

its got full shell inside and the leather on top. max protection from what you have available to choose from. the other leather ones are nice but they don't "CLOSE" with a flap or clasp so they might open during the fall.... not good :) I do like that orange one though.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Erachter:
thanks))

I think i will buy this one below, coz everything what you mentioned should work in it )))))

Does anyone have those MicroUSB to USB port cables (for connecting usb drives I guess). Do they work with External Hard Drives?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Badelhas:
I think so. I have one, when I get home I will try it for you.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Robsgs3xda:
thanks
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Erachter:
They probably don't work, coz external hard drives need a esata port and a USB one.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] nerys71:
most external hard drives should work fine if you provide them with their own power.

this means a power supply OR a dual head usb cable and a usb power source

I HEAR some hard drives can run direct off the otg but I bet that puts a hefty strain on the battery.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Badelhas:
I tried connecting my 3.5 inch external hd (with individual power plug) to the S3 with the OTG USB Cable and it dosent seem to work. Sorry. :(
[Galaxy S III Accessories] nerys71:
If the drive is NTFS or some other non fat formating then you need top install third party software to read those drives

High Quality Slip in pouch for GS3?

My wife prefers a slip in pouch for her phone and I have yet to find one that looks like it will last 2 year. Does anyone have any recommendations for a very high quality pouch? It doesn't necessarily need to be leather but it should look very nice. I was going to purchase the Spigen Crumena but am skeptical of the magnetic band breaking. Thanks for your help!

*Forgot to add that it should be extremely simple looking. (no belt clips) She basically just needs it to slide in a pouch and be able to pull it out easily without the case staying attached to the phone in any way.

---------- Post added at 04:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:53 PM ----------

Here is a link to one I am thinking of purchasing. I am going to keep looking but the review I have seen on this brand are promising so far and they claim a lifetime warranty. A little overkill but still nice.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] ddaleus:
Guys, I got Incipio Silicrylic for my Galaxy S3 after going between that and Tough Case

I can easily say it is a great case. For 2 piece case it adds minimum bulk. Buttons are touchable without any issue. Gripping is ok as well.

For 15-20$ it is bargain.

New Hybrid Kickstand Case for Samsung Galaxy S III Soft Plastic Shell Red Black

Hi!

I just ordered this case on ebay. Will give it a review when it comes in. I wanted more grip and a kickstand.

New Hybrid Kickstand Case for Samsung Galaxy S III Soft Plastic Shell Red Black $3.49.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] zanzee:
I've had the same one since the sgs3 came out. Its not bad, just really bulky and the silicon degrades from the oil on your fac eand hands. Otherwise it does offer good protection.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] dmxoneIuv:
another con

i was contemplating getting this at the store. as cool as it is and how thin it is, i think the edges would get curled up after pulling it in and out of my pocket. and another CON i noticed...if i wanted to take pictures, i'd have to hold the phone with the flap open since the camera would be blocked if it was flipped to the back :(

I love the case, but would really like something similar with a kickstand. I don't care so much about the "breathe" issue, but want something very slim, low profile (not TPU type) in blue to match phone and with a kickstand.

I've searched & searched & didn't find anything. Any ideas?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] android_4life:
I personally like the Ballistic for the S3, I had the OtterBox both the defender and commuter and I didn't like them, It made the power and volume buttons to hard to push and that got annoying.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kms108:
I think many people will be quite interested in extented battery, at last samsung has finally released a official 3000mAh battery and battery cover set, haven't asked the price yet, but should be about HKD 320, don't ask for the link, haven't got one, this was seen from a local chain store.

may be 1-2 week or less before you start seeing it in online store.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] running_the_dream:
Ditto. I have the commuter and have been using it for a few days. It's a battle almost every time I push the power or volume buttons. I'm going to have to cut the rubber that covers the buttons. Might look ugly :-/

Based on the reviews in this thread, I decided to order the Incipio silicrylic case and I'm glad I did. Great thin, hybrid case and it doesn't take away from the sexiness of the phone.

I've already bought a 9000mah exteranl backup battery\recharge to keep in my glove box for emergencies but I was wondering if anyone has had success with an aftermarket battery. I have read a lot of horror stories about the Hyperion batteries being junk. And I am unsure what brand is a respectable.

Got an Incipio Silicrylic case today for the phone I don't have yet. I already have an S-line TPU case and have the clear diamond TPU case on its way as well. Wasn't planning on buying anymore cases, but I felt this thing and it's awesome. It has a soft touch to it, and would definitely protect against drops and falls at any angle. This will be the one I use when I feel like I may need more protection than usual.

Can't find the white/grey color I got anywhere online (got mine at Radio Shack). It looks white/black in the picture, but it's actually about a 50% grey.

Can you do me a favor and measure the total thickness of the case, I wonder how much size this will add to the phone? thanks.

Just bought the Zagg invisishield "HD"

The solution always worries me about the chance that it might discolor or stain the screen over time.

Went on easily, unfortunately there is a single particle that found its way under the film in the middle of the screen that I will have to get used to.

Feels a little rubbery but I'm going to give them the Benefit of the doubt and assume it will go away in a day or two.
