Yeah, I've been using mine for a while too. Best case I have seen/felt in a long time.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] vpatel91:
Could you post a pic of the front of your phone with this case on it?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Hrc4u:
Sounds nice :)

Ordered a dark grey yesterday :cool:

[Galaxy S III Accessories] fuusuke:
It looks very nice, im going to order a black one.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] CaptainCool:
How does this fit in your pocket? Does it stick in your pocket when you try to pull it out?

Autocorrected by my EVO 4G LTE.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Baldilocks:
It feels great. Very grippy in the hands, easy to hold. Slides in and out of the pocket very nice.

If I can get hold of another camera, I'll take a picture of the front of it.

Here's a pic someone posted of the blue phone with the rock case on it...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Joshnz:
Agreed - excellent case for the money, good fit, good grip, good look.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] thrawnTHX:
Best way to describe how the case feels is this
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Cyb3rGlitch:
I have the same case as the OP, I love it. It's feels and looks great.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Envy718:
I bought both black and grey but from a seller on ebay that is shipping from china. I only did this because at the time they did not have them on amazon. I got them for way cheaper though. I spent about 10 bucks a case.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] vasp3690:
I bought one as well. Very good but I like my rubberised more. Anyone wanting one Let me know

sent with SGS3
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ReggieTee:
I got my Rock case, and while it's nice. I don't like that it doesn't cover the top or bottom.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kls629:
i just received my rock quicksand from a chinese vendor. how do i know if it is legit. it does have a nice packaging and a rock with a registered mark. but the markings on the case say "Designed by ROCK in Shenzhen"....can anyone confirm?

edit: noticed it does have chinese website rockphone.cn so looks legit
[Galaxy S III Accessories] exekewtable:
Yep got mine from a similar ebay vendor - shipped from Hong Kong to Australia in 10 days or so, and works great. I even managed to do a decent screen protector setup with no bubbles...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ekjl:
if only this case came in white I would be on it.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] 762x51:
I'd love to see a drop test with these cases. They look fantastic and I'm sure will protect the phone from scratches, but how much protection will it offer if dropped?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Hawkalpin:
The most closer you can get is choose the Rock Nakedshell. But is glossy instead of sandpaper texture. :(

[Galaxy S III Accessories] Kurai Kitsune:
Got the ROCK Quicksand today from UK seller on ebay. took 2 days delivery. and honestly im surprised by the build quality for £10. i think it's pretty good!

half tempted to cover the back in carbon fibre vinyl like another post ive seen here. but the Rock gets thumbs up from me!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] iExitus:
Where to buy?

So can one of you say me where i can buy an original one?

http://www.casesss.com/product.aspx?model=97&pid=429

seems that legit? :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] brekec88:
Amazon. There 15 bucks.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] iExitus:
Thanks. I think I will buy it in black and light Grey. Then see what looks better and send the other one back :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] adima:
I bought one off ebay for $10. I love this case! I wish I had gotten it a wk before I did, so I wouldn't have "dents" in the top bezel from it falling out of my pocket onto concrete. Lol Although it doesn't hide the imperfections, so I have a Otterbox on its way. Haha
[Galaxy S III Accessories] iExitus:
Does anyone has pictures with the blue s3 and black case? :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Darmokk:
I have to agree this case does in fact "Rock". I decided to go with this case after I nearly dropped my phone getting out of my car the other day. I hate cases and screen protectors and all that, I'd prefer to go without the case if I didn't want at least some protection.

So I got the grey rock case after seeing that the very slightly raised lip on the sides enables you to put your phone screen down if you'd like, which i prefer at night so the led notification doesn't bother me. I got one of the ones on fleaBay from a US seller, only took 2 days to arrive from California to texas :good:

I'm sure its probably a replica or whatever, it says its made in Shenzen china but quality and everything feels great to me, this case definitely helps the phone feel more solid in your hand and the textured material makes it feel much "grippier" overall in your hand. Highly recommended here are some pics if anyone is still on the fence
[Galaxy S III Accessories] vmp2002:
Im trying to get a solid cover for the phone in case i drop it but I also want it to be able to fit in a horizontal leather case. Would this fit in a horizontal belt clip case?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] RiPpeR_dUdE:
Case is very nice. I went with the gray case on the AT&T Red, looks great!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] squeeish:
Wow. No damage? That's a pretty hardy case.

Mine's feeling less rough after about 2 months of use.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] aznkenshin:
Just bought my rock case on ebay for 6 bucks after winning an auction.

Also bought a confirmed unbranded replica with slightly wider camera hole. Cost me 4 bucks. Will post pics next week when they arrive.

Also, for you guys uncertain about getting an official ROCK case from ebay, remember that your negative feedback is your weapon. If it's fake, give them a negative feedback. They usually respond to you within a day and either refund you or something else.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] logoon:
hello guys,

i was wondering how does black rock quicksand looks on white sg3 ? anyone can post/make some photos for me?

i am trying to find best looking case for white version of sg3.. maybe U got any other suggestions ? im looking for best protection/slim ratio.

thanks in advance
[Galaxy S III Accessories] azelaya:
I just received me rock elegant flip case Im loving it so far.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] aznkenshin:
I have been on the lookout for a slim case that provides good protection and it's led me to TPU cases such as diztronic but it had a lip over the front screen. I plan on purchasing the curves crystal eventually so it will interfere.

So I was led to this case by a review and all of them have been overwhelmingly positive. I can assure you this is probably the best slim case around.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] brekec88:
I have a rock and a diztronic case. I use the rock way more but the diztronic is nice. Only gripe with diztronic is it covers charging port too much and when plugged in all you have to do is tap the cord or move the phone slightly and it falls out.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mvh_01:
I got an official one, and it has a crack in the lower left corner. Posted about it a few weeks ago, now it's cracking next to the power button as well. Haven't dropped it.

i loved the grip of this case, but it's falling apart now. :(
[Galaxy S III Accessories] brekec88:
Good thing there only 20 bucks. How long have you had it?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] aznkenshin:
20 bucks? You should only have paid max of 15.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] zmore:
Paid $10 w/ free shipping for mine on Ebay back in June. (yes - it's genuine).

STATUS: SOLD

And... since I never used it, and never will, I guess I'll resell my Rock grey Quicksand for... $8.50 OBO (inc. shipping) to the first person in the U.S. to privmsg me their address+paypal.

STATUS: SOLD (:highfive: eric)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] brekec88:
It was 15 with like 4 for shipping from Amazon. Would have got from eBay but I'm cautious of fakes on eBay.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tragicallyhip:
Could anyone answer how hard this case is to remove from the phone?

I use my old Infuse car dock every time I'm in my vehicle, and I've been using a Body Glove case that pops off without too much work, so I can actually stuff my phone into the dock. Does it take more than a few seconds to pry off of the phone (aka doing it so you're not going to scratch the sides of your phone or break the case while you're doing it?

Thanks for any guidance!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mvh_01:
For a bit over a 2 months I think. 10 bucks / month for a case is not a good deal imo :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Toyobaru:
The case is not difficult to remove from the phone at all. Even though the case doesn't go on the phone with a resounding *Snap* it definitely has a solid snug fit. I'm confident the case won't fly off in the event of a drop. Don't sweat taking it on and off. Mine came in from China today (from Amazon) after about 2 weeks and couldn't be more pleased with its style and feel. I'll probably never put my ugly diztronic tpu case back on. This Grey on a white S3 oozes sexy. For the price thus case is a great value and I would recommend.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ejatds:
just ordered a dark grey one for my pebble blue s3 from casesinthebox!! hopefully its genuine..

i feel so nervous when i take out my phone without a case lmfao.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mmmkwan:
Love this case. It has the texture of... a rock. Got it for $10 off ebay.

I usually buy a case and stop using it after a few weeks because of the bulk or because it gets dirty easily but this case makes the phone better!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] bitpushr:
This case is great - very thin and a great texture. Picked it up for $10 on Amazon, free 2-day shipping with Prime! :good:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] BarnOwl:
Just ordered one from ebay for ten bucks..........got a bit fed up with the "refrigerator" look of my protective case and the plastic look of the original bleu Samsung TPU. I think this is one of the nicest looking cases around. It wont be as protective with the corners etc but it sure looks pretty!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Rankiz:
This sucks. I am very pleased with my Rock quicksand case, and because of this I bought myself 2 new ones. HOWEVER, the new ones had a much grainy texture, same type of texture, just much more grainy.

Where can I get the fine grained (more smooth) Rock case?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Rankiz:
Any input?!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] gcogger:
I could be wrong, but the old one looks like a fake to me - the texture on the new one looks genuine. Anyone else?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] android94301:
Mine has the smoother texture too, I bought it about 6 months ago. It feels great. I love it.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] big-nose:
I have an unbranded one of these (£2.99 off Amazon) and it's reasonably smooth, but still grippy enough. (I suspect they probably all come out the same factory and each company just brands them with their logo and then triples the price)

Perhaps different batches have slightly different finishes or they changed the formula a bit.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Rankiz:
Do you have a link please? I want the smooth one! :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] big-nose:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B008AGT8VI/

I did take a couple of photos...but such is the quality of the cameras on HTC devices (or at least the older models!) that you can't really see any detail! For what it's worth I've uploaded them anyway...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ericc191:
I have these for my One X and they are, in my opinion, the best looking case you can get for a phone. Unfortunately, mine started chipping not even a month after having it on my phone. Around the corners. I am ordering it again and hopefully the next one is better made.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] PatcheZ:
Anyone with the touch stone mod use this case? Does it still work?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Rankiz:
I live in Europe so can't buy from Amazon UK. Anyone else know where I can get the dsmooth versio .
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Judman:
I can confirm it does!

I was worried but the only issue is reduced magnetic hold, but it you upgraded the magnets before you moved the coil over then it still holds very well.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] falcons2:
My rock case has a slippery feel to it. will that go away over time
[Galaxy S III Accessories] TecQuality:
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/rock-ult...d-faceplate-samsung-galaxy-s3-grey-p35433.htm

bought this, is this genuine or not?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Baldilocks:
Looks like it is... :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] TecQuality:
hope so mate :p
[Galaxy S III Accessories] twoashj:
white one looks nice, but what's the grey one made of? looks like fabric. rubber???
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Baldilocks:
It's made out of the same material the others are.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] buhohitr:
I would prefer this:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00871XCOK/ref=ox_sc_act_title_4?ie=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER

It's same as Rock, but with a hoster (clip on your belt) and the case slide into it, plus it came with a kick stand so you can watch movie on your phone without lay it flat on the table.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mike86325:
For those who bought off ebay and got a genuine one, what seller did you buy from? Was "tradeflair" selling genuine ones? Looking to pick up a black case for mine
[Galaxy S III Accessories] NiggZ:
i got the rock case delivered yest good it from ebay someone else on the forums linked us the same seller he got it from, it doesnt fit my phone properly like my phone keeps popping out of the case :S any ideas ??
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jxl92182:
There is alot of fake ones selling on ebay. Rock only makes 3 color (purple/gray/black). Any other color is fake. The one selling on amazon where i bought should be legit. They have a serial number sticker on the front and there is a EAN barcode in the back. There is also another vendor selling on Amazon for under 10 dollars. Notice he didn't say "Rock" so is probably fake.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mvh_01:
Bought from the same website. It's legit.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] daoutlawz:
These look great, if only they weren't flip covers :(

[Galaxy S III Accessories] jfi2ee:
Are there any cheap rock genuine...the ones from mobilefun work out over $30 aud
[Galaxy S III Accessories] TecQuality:
that's the issue, you aren't sure into ebay ...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Havoc2k:
got my rock quicksand cover yesterday (ebay.co.uk)

what a awesome cover, this really rocks!

i love it

greetings
[Galaxy S III Accessories] HellStorm666:
Just bought the Rock Quicksand in light grey, think this one and color look the best for a metallic blue S3.

Bought it here; http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330748720658&ssPageName=ADME:L:OC:NL:3160

Hope it is a original, if not, i hope it at least fits, feels and looks good.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] TecQuality:
totally agreed with you mate :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jxl92182:
Guess you can check for the real thing by scratching off the counterfeit sticker on the front. You will found a serial number and then go to Rock website to see if it is real or not.

http://rockphone.cn/en/certification.asp
[Galaxy S III Accessories] spacenbeyond:
Just got mine yesterday (Black).. Fits perfectly..

Its similar to case-mate's Barely there cases.. Got a free rock screen protector also wich is much better than the invisibleSHIELD..
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Srambo217:
I bought light grey one from ebay for like $8 (trust me, it's authentic). This other seller offers cases that are basically the same but with other color options (grabbed a green from him, will look killer on my white SGIII) http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=280890860989
[Galaxy S III Accessories] sumanjay:
Glad to hear the reviews of this case are so positive. I've got one on order and have been wondering if I should've just ordered the official Samsung slim case.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] locoboi187:
Damn if only the case was a tad thicker in the front to add protection. Any sexy looking alternatives?:)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] BarneyC:
@Baldilocks - dude is that CM9 running on your SGS3? Looks rockin'
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mariotme:
I have to say its one of the best cases for the S3 without adding bulk to the phone and the texture is AMAZING!

using the rock case you can put the phone facing down and it wont touch the surface the case does protect the front of the phone.

I got mine from ebay: Genuine Rock Case from eBay

and the seller also confirmed its Genuine
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Cyb3rGlitch:
Got a picture of the packaging? That's usually a tell-tale sign of fakes.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] 58285:
I don't think we've talked about this, does the case give any protection to the screen while it's upside down?

I think it does by looking at the photos, but I can't tell for sure.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mariotme:
There you go buddy.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mariotme:
Yes m8 it does nothing touches the table surface other than the ROCK cover :D
[Galaxy S III Accessories] locoboi187:
How good would this case be in a fall?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Hawkalpin:
How it feels when you holding it? Feels like sandpaper? Because everytime I take an sandpaper, I feel a chill down the spine. :laugh:

But I'm very interested to get the Light gray for my SIII.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mariotme:
hahaha no no its not that rough.

I find it really nice and grippy and does not stain if your hands are wet or have sweaty hands
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Hawkalpin:
I'm happy to hear this. I would order one too.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kms108:
the texture feels like feeling a rock or stone, the grey probably looks the best.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] limeaid:
Has anyone received a case from this seller and confirmed that it's genuine?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/High-Qualit...ain_0&var=&hash=item4d0228f612#ht_10332wt_962
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kms108:
you cannot get this case as a fake one, the seller is from hong kong, and the rock company is also hong kong.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mike86325:
There are replicas going around. There is even pictures on one of these case threads showing the differences between the replica and the authentic rock case. The texture, thickness, absence of logo, holes for side buttons, and way the case fits around the camera are all noticeably different.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] bbaldino:
Wow...apologies for the derail but does anyone know the name of that theme?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kms108:
if it doesn't have the logo, it isn't considered as fakes, many companies make similar case.

FYI i know what you are taking about, but did you know that the unbranded one was out before the rock version.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] treble4:
yes he does i got mine of him made up with it for a tenner
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Noobalicious:
I ordered one from him and it looks to be legit. Looks like the one's everyone else has been buying.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kidcope06:
corners?

How does this case do in protecting the corners. It seems to me that the corners might get dinged and nicked in a fall. Is that true or are they covered?

Very intrigued.

It will be this or aluminum pending corner protection.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kms108:
Both ends are not protected.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Srambo217:
Worst case scenario with a knock off from ebay;

You open a counterfeit item case, leave negative feedback, wait 2 days, get your money refunded, have a free knock off case you can carve some ugly cyanogenmod icon into with a hunting knife ;)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] beaver2233:
like others have said it is genuine... I actually received mine about half an hour ago (order from this seller) - all good, packaging and all.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] creon100:
Received mine today and really love it. It's obviously not for people that are clumsy and tend to drop their phones (as any "case" or "sleeve" of this is not), but the feel is amazing and I really love the look on the phone. The black case, in particular, looks really great on the pebble blue phone, as shown in some earlier photos.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] cmd512:
Simple physics tells you it wouldn't do much. Top and bottom are exposed, and it's only "clipped in" given it's a hard shell design. Chances are, it would come flying off if it dropped from a decent height onto a hard surface.

It certainly is a sexy case, but I'm way too clumsy to use it. Gotta stick with my TPU case, all edges and corners are nicely covered and it's much softer giving it a bit more "cushion."
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mwatson:
What is the point of a protective case that doesn't cover the corners? The corners tent to be the areas that get damaged.

Seems this case just protects the back. Its probably cheaper to buy a new back official S3 back cover when your original ends up getting scratched. Less bulk too even if it is a couple of mm.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Tenkie:
Thanks! Just pulled the trigger for the dark grey one (white gs3). Can't wait for it to arrive!!

Has anyone slapped a body protector/screen protector on theirs? I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on this:

http://www.amazon.com/Skinomi-TechS...TF8&qid=1340990195&sr=1-14&keywords=galaxy+s3

..or pick up a cheap screen protector only protector.

Thoughts?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jaytxvo:
Hmm I ordered mine from amazon...

http://www.amazon.com/Rock-Samsung-...-carbonate/dp/B0089E44OM/ref=pd_sim_sbs_cps_2

That is the seller, I hope it is legit.

Anyhow, I was looking at the fake one, the one that doesn't say rock on the back. I think the fake one could be better because it looks like it covers the corners better. Anyone with the fake one can confirm this?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] sidn3y:
I ordered mine from aliexpress for around 10 bucks. It's not a smooth plastic, there is some sort of texture there, tho it does not feel like sandpaper as someone said. It feels soft.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jaytxvo:
I'm not sure if this case is the light grey one or the black one...the black one looks dark grey!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] limeaid:
I took the plunge and ordered yesterday. I'll report back when I receive the case
[Galaxy S III Accessories] HotInEER:
I love my rock case. I own 6 or 7 cases and have 2 more on the way, and it's by far my favorite.

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 on XDA premium HD.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mike86325:
Is that the black or grey case?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] limeaid:
Which vendor did you order from?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] duke1313:
That one is the black one, isn't it?

Cheers
[Galaxy S III Accessories] akarol:
They look nice, but far too bulky for my taste. Went with the Samsung Slim Case instead.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jaytxvo:
I got my rock case today, when I peeled off the sticker there is no code. Instead there is another sticker with rock all over it. The website says there an 18 bit code, so I'm not sure if this is real or not.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] yeahmon:
I wasn't sure if I would like this case or not, but for $20 on Amazon, I figured WTH. Man, I'm glad I pulled the trigger. This thing is great. I got the black one.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] limeaid:
I agree. This is the best case ever.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] *Emix*:
Can someone please tell me if Rock cases from this link are really genuine?

How do i tell mine is fake I got mine on ebay for like 10 bucks but from China. Mine feels like a sandy texture and has rock on the back. Anything else I should look for?
