I bought the stand that comes with the extra battery and of course that for the price it's Chinese and doesn't last as long as the original one but almost. And sure it's more comfortable to have my s3 with my acase superleggera pro case and just carry the extra one in my pocket and change it when I need. Do you have any case to use with that extended battery?

Most vendors have reduced the price to $20; its not a big seller any more.

---------- Post added at 08:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:00 AM ----------

The difference isn't the battery and dock it's the included charger. If you are in the usa/can and are using a international version just get a usa one. If you're traveling you can get international for the charger and just attach the usa travel charger you got with the phone to the dock. However be aware that the charger with the dock has a higher output than the phone's travel charger so that it charges a little faster.

great thread! for memory cards ebay is a good choice
[Galaxy S III Accessories] stan.s:
Ebay, Imho is the worst place to purchase memory cards, unless the company is a real store. All the fake cards are on ebay, and you may not be aware of having a fake until you try to go over the real size of the card. I have had this happen to me with a usa seller and it took almost a month to get resolved. I strongly recommend Amazon, newegg, tigerdirect, frys and any other well known and established company that has real product from the mfgr even if it costs a bit more.

Especially be wary of the lowest price and vendors who don't appear to sell anything but the memory card. Even packaging can be faked, right down to holographic seals. I didn't know what I had until I tried to get the company to accept it for warranty, and then ended up having to help them get the fake vendors.

I picked up an iBolt Car Dock the other day from Verizon Wireless. I had a discount on my account and ended up paying $30 for it (instead of $40). This dock is great. Just trying to get used to 'car mode' on the GSIII as it opens S-Voice when it recognizes it is on the dock. The only downside I have seen is the power button of the phone itself gets blocked as it is resting on the bottom. Otherwise this dock's quality is great. I haven't tried using any cases with it but I think most slim cases shouldn't get in the way. Just might not be as 'snug' as it would be naked. I recommend this dock.

Just got my UAG case in today. This is a really sweet case. Top quality product here. Looks like a tank could drive over it. Phone fits perfectly and all ports line up as they should. The best part is that it's not to bulky. At least I don't think so. One of the best cases I've ever had on a phone, period. And I've had a ton of smart phones.

Thnx

If you want to use those types, you could buy an adhesive plate like this one: http://www.amazon.com/AP020-Adapter...48855398&sr=8-2&keywords=arkon+adhesive+plate
[Galaxy S III Accessories] vivelafrance:
Great stuff! Thanks a lot, I didn't even know these existed. Hope I'll find some on amazon.co.uk or amazon.fr

Thanks again for the tip
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mrnamster:
No side effects so far. My compass works fine. The manufacturer said it's safe to use.

The down-side is the price but I like using it very much. It's like magic. I used superglue to install the disc on the inside of my battery cover.

The mount is rubbery so it doesn't scratch.

I used to have a $10 Arkon clamp mount. Good riddance to clamps!

The mount I posted has a suction cup that is also sticky, so it works on textured surfaces as well as glass. :good:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] vivelafrance:
Thanks mrmanster! I'll definitely try that also then.... Have you actually tried it on a desk?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mrnamster:
I have been using it on my textured, curved dashboard where regular suction cups don't work. This one is super sticky.

If it wasn't so expensive then I'd get one for my desk too.

My previous Arkon mount included that adhesive disc DKYang posted.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] KeithSr:
I think this may be the answer to what I'm looking for. I use the Otterbox Defender and I haven't found a dash board mount for my truck. I'm thinking that I could crazy glue a rare earth magnet to one of my spare/broken holsters and just clip my Defender into the holster when I'm in my truck.

Thanks.

Amazing Zenus black Leather wallet phone case!

Hey Guys,

I bought this case and thought it was awesome... a bit pricey at $45... but I just got mine in the mail and I would say its worth it for the quality...

Its black leather, and is a wallet as well as a phone case (because you always need both anyways)

I've seen others and thought this one is great because I like to have my phone in my pocket, and its not too bulky even with a few cards in the wallet.

What do you think?

Check on google for the zenus black leather case, there are a couple options.... I bought mine on ebay...

If you like the case pls thank me ;) (and sorry I couldn't add the link because i'm new on the forums)

I have just bought two docking stations at buyincoins. Shopped here before and for China fairly fast handling and shipping. One black and a white one. They were only $3.68 with free shipping and with a coupon and quantitiy discount I got almost a dollar off.

They look good enough to put random around the house for a quick charge.

With coupon NewCoupon as referrer you get 5% discount. I created a quick new account to get the discount and filled it in at registering as referrer and worked.

Already searched, can't find the answer...

Looking at getting an extended battery of some kind, already ordered Hyperion 4200, may be looking at going bigger... Has anyone had any luck getting one of these bigger capacity extended batteries crammed into an Otterbox or Ballistic case?

Confirming, the Hyperion 4200 does not fit in the Otterbox Commuter. Moving on to the defender when I can find a cheap one...

[Galaxy S III Accessories] Badelhas:
How do you know if the Defender will fit? I think its exactly the size of the commuter, so it won't fit.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Journyman16:
I bought the Spigen curved Crystal screen protector - it is a bugger to get on because the fit is EXACT - but get it right and you have a screen protector that has zero impact on sensitivity and cannot be seen except with a magnifying glass - HINT: you might want to use one to get the edges lined up right.

This is it... (and for the price, they send you TWO of them)

http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/sa...creen-protector-steinheil-curved-crystal.html

I also got a nice leather case that takes credit cards and cash in the face, holds the phone very securely and has a magnetic clasp. Cost me $10 on gumtree.com.au - he still has them if anyone is interested - http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/bray...card-case-cover-black-leather-skin/1007549491 should take you there.

I also got from mobilefun.com a sticky silicon pad that just slaps on the dash of my car (or any surface) and holds my phone. Not sure if it would hold against bumpy roads if vertical but on an angle it stays put. Much cheaper than one of those suction cups constructions. You can see it at http://au.mobilefun.com/32621-cellular-line-grip-anti-slip-pad.htm

I was a bit suss about MobileFun, having had a bad experience with TopBuy recently, but I couldn't find a bad report about them and they delivered fast and kept me informed as to progress. And no, I have no affiliation with any of the above, just a customer - there's enough sites out there giving poor experiences that the good ones should get a mention.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] stan.s:
YMMV

I ordered a mhl cable from MobileFun UK on the same day I ordered a 4 port OTG cable from China, via ebay.

I paid for regular mail $6 US for shipping on the $35 US mhl cable. The four port usb otg included unspecified shipping in the $5 cost. I never pay for expedited shipping since I live in metro NYC area and most shipping from around the world is within a week. The Chinese cable came inside a week via China Air post. The UK cable came via DHL and UPS, took 21 days. I have emailed with MobileFun and suggested that they offer regular Royal Mail as an option, it may well be cheaper and faster.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Badelhas:
I also ordered those 2 items but from amazon.uk. What are you using them for?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] stan.s:
well, I use the MHL to hook up to my HDTV. I get a couple of sports subscriptions on Android which have audio and video feeds of the stuff not on ESPN (et al). (And my ISP just agreed with ESPN for WatchESPN, so I expect to use that, too for the games on the web.) I also have a couple of visualizer (aka 'light organ') apps like ProjectM and Vizualizer 5000 Pro (they have different requirements for input) so that they can play music and create a light show on the tv.

I got the 4 port usb OTG device to connect stuff to my phone, and I didn't want to be limited to one device. I have a pocket SDcard reader so I can take photos from my real camera and upload them, as well as traveling with a variety of accessories including multiple thumbdrives, wireless keyboards, since we don't bring laptops with us anymore. Just smartphones and a Touchpad (with remote desktop software). So while my wife uses the TP, I can hookup a keyboard, et al, and go much faster than typing with my fingers or even using Google Now level voice (which is damn good- particularly when personalized).

We're on a family trip in a few weeks, so I expect that we'll be reviewing the day's photos (with 3 of us, I expect 3-500 photos a day) on the room's hdtv either directly from the camera (which has hdmi) or phones once I copy them to the card (I have a 64GB card) or one of my cloud accts. I have a dozen different types of cables and usb converters.

I really wish there was a combo of these two like there was for the SII
[Galaxy S III Accessories] nerys71:

[Galaxy S III Accessories] Badelhas:

[Galaxy S III Accessories] nfsmw_gr:
I wasn't going to get it...i used it as an example mainly...:p

[Galaxy S III Accessories] nerys71:
VERY high probability they are lying about the 3200mah. ie FAKE.

I do not think the current lithium chemistry SUPPORTS 3200mah in that package size. No NFC is a non starter.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] stan.s:
Since it's more than one usb port, I expect to use a mem stick and one of the logitech wireless keyboard mouse combo's I have with the usb dongle. I think that one is a mx320, about $30. The otg has both a power port and again extra usb ports so I can connect with a power supply at the same time. I also have a hp bt keyboard for the Touchpad,as well as power supplies from usb hubs that appear to work with the otg. I was so taken aback when a arrow cursor appeared on the browsers.

SIII needs a padded shock protecting case

Just a FYI.

I have/had a Ditztronic TCP case. It's been great at protecting the glass from chips and during drops. (I've had several.)

However, it doesn't protect the phone against shock. Shock can leave your phone semi-functional. My phone had sideways shock with only a drop of a couple feet, and while the glass screen is perfectly intact, the OLED/Touch screen INSIDE shows a tiny crack. Since I had setup the phone to use the Home button to pickup calls and the Power button to hang up, I've been able to receive calls but the touch is non-functional and the OLED went black.

Using a MHL I can see the screen. Using a OTG and keyboard, I can even unlock my pin. But since I don't have my bt enabled, I can't get to the point where I can use the MHL to see the screen, and bt keyboard to operate it at the same time. Not that this is a permedent solution, but just to copy out some stuff or to check the status of my TI backups to the Ext SD card.

Service techs from ATT made me go through the ATT Warranty people. You are not covered for drops under the warranty, and they want $595 + 50 for the phone.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] eyecon82:
if there is no visible damage, how can they even tell you dropped it?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] stan.s:
I've attached a photo. That line in the left corner is UNDERNEATH the glass in the actual screen. The warranty guy on the phone insisted that what I described was covered since the glass was not broken chipped. That they had never heard of the internal screen being busted without the glass at the same time. We will have to wait for the bill, $250 if they cover it or $595 if they don't.

It's a shame that samsung makes such a good looking phone, but can't spend enough on the materials to let you use it in every day life without a case.
