[Galaxy S III Accessories] Docavelli:
Just received my Rock sleeve. I call it a sleeve because I think a case encloses the phone on all sides. This does not.

* Really thin. Adds minimum bulk to the phone.

* Slips on easily And more importantly, it slides off just as easy.

* The texture isn't as grippy as I thought it would be but it has a good feel.

* All cutouts are perfect. Still gives easy access to volume rocker and power button.

I got it on ebay from a Chinese distributor. I ordered from overseas because at the time there were no US distributors and I wanted my sleeve here when I got my phone.

I know there are probably places to order in the US now but here's the link to where I got mine.

This Rock Cases are hard or flexible?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Docavelli:
They're hard.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] agafed:
Thanks... Seems nice, but I like flexible cases.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] immunityx:
Best case hands down got one on right now
[Galaxy S III Accessories] thenikeman:
Is there enough "lip" on the edge of the phone, so if you place the phone screen down, that the screen is not touching the table, etc?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Docavelli:
Yep.

My concern is for the areas that aren't covered. Have you had any drops on pavement or asphalt. That's my biggest concern because they can say whatever they want about gorilla glass 2 but it still shatters. This is the only thing stopping me from getting this kind of "sleeve."
[Galaxy S III Accessories] iam_ultrasonic:
I love mine very sleek and luxurious feeling. Looks great on white as well.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jxl92182:
Surprise nobody is mentioning this case here. The Euro forums were all over this.

NO THIS IS NOT A SLEEVE....

The texture spongy feel is great for gripping. Is like some kind of graphite.

It comes in black/gray/purple. I got the black one.

I will post the pictures some guy took on the euro forums.

Amazon have it.

this is a LOW profile case. Its not meant for super durability for the people who say your screen will break when you drop your phone

oh myyyyy, those pictures are sexy! Love the case now that i seen those shots, thanks for the heads up and recommendation!

Agree grabbing one tomorrow thanks guys.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] djthread:
Is the I9300 the same form factor as the i535 that Verizon is getting? I see some cases say i9300 while some list 9300/i535 both. The rock case seems to be in the former camp.

I ask because there were very minor but significant differences between the Galaxy Nexus versions.

Thanks, yalls.

I like the look of the case but now that some of you have had the case for some time now, what are your final thoughts? Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] nkawal:
i have the purple on my white gs3 looks fantastic. However, I put my phone in my back pocket all the time and my blue jeans is starting to wear off very very slightly. I still love the case and will be buying the other colors as well. I also have a clear matte diztronic case as well.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mt3g:
That was my number one concern about it wearing jeans or clothing, I can live with it for the most part anyway. Thanks for the response more then likely I will be going with those two cases as well.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Docavelli:
It took about a week. But that's from China. I believe there are US distributors now.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] Docavelli:
I love it. These are the only types of "cases" I use on my phones. The feel could have a little more tack to it but it's not slick so it will work nicely.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] cgardnervt:
Haha well this case goes well with it's nature theme!

I am still waiting on my OB case!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ssbmg:
I just got the case in grey in the mail today. Ordered on amazon on Wednesday. I love the look and feel. Very little bulk but the tackiness is nice. Kind of a rubbery sandpaper feel. I don't drop my phones so not worried about the top and bottom (knock on wood). I just use a slim case so the back cover and camera don't get scratched up.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] dpwhitty11:
Ordered the gray one today, should have it late this next week. Hopefully nothing happens to my new phone till then once I get it Monday!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] zaisaroni:
I have had this in light grey for over a week on my blue phone like pictured above, it's a nice look!

It's great if you want a thin case to protect against setting it down on surfaces, allows you to go face down, and it will take smaller drops, and to make it easier to hold. It's not an otterbox or such.

All cutouts are perfect, it has a slight flex to it, it's not like some of the very hard plastic cases or snap backs out there. It stays in place 100%, but installation and removal is super easy, if you switch cases a lot you'll love it.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] yeahmon:
I got mine today. I normally don't buy slim cases, the but this thing rocks. lol

[Galaxy S III Accessories] Skrypt:
I'm thinking about ordering the white from the same seller, but I read elsewhere that there were a lot of Chinese knockoffs of these floating around. Do you think your case is authentic?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jxl92182:
Anything under $10 is most likely clone models.

The authentic ones are selling between 15-25 dollars depending on where you get them (Amazon have it on Prime now and is 19 dollars). The authentic ones only come in 3 colors; black, light gray, and purple. If you are ordering the "white", it is not made by Rock.

There is just too many clone ones selling on ebay and frankly i don't trust ebay too much. What u see is never what you get.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] zaisaroni:
Here's the link I received a genuine one from. The packaging was pretty interesting as well, definitely an Asian case.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] Jonbo298:
I got mine a few days ago and I love the feel of it and how thin it is but yet I feel it's enough protection for what I'm looking for. Now if the phone would just arrive so I can put it to use....
[Galaxy S III Accessories] zmore:
Got my gray rock quicksand case for $9.90 from China via Ebay. Authentic Rock case, sku, serial, logos, quality, etc. Tradeoff for the cheaper pricing is that you just have to wait a bit longer for shipping. Mine got here in 8 or 9 days iirc.

The knockoffs will generally be missing the logo, and/or won't have the raised lip above the camera and/or will feel smooth instead of grippy.

I ended up not using my rock case, even though it's perty, since it provides way too little protection vs TPU.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tgmorris:
I too bought a grey one from eBay for under $10 shipped using this seller and it looks genuine to me. It was shipped quickly but took a bit to get to me. Since I'm still waiting on the phone it wasn't a problem.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mariotme:
did you check the 18 digits on the small sticker on the front package cover? its a little square sticker on the top corner that you have to scratch to get the 18 digit codes to check if its genuine on the official rock website
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tgmorris:
I tried but it opens a new page in, what I'm guessing is, Chinese. If I enter the code as shown I get one response and if I modify it I get a different one, so I'm assuming it's real. Otherwise I think I'd get the same response for both.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] os91:
Got the dark grey case. I love the feel. I don't worry about the plastic back cover anymore. Has a bit of a lip on the front so i can put my phone face down. Overall just looks great with the blue phone and feels great. Just enough grip for you to know its there but still easy enough to pull out of your pocket. With no bulk added!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] pdubcramp:
How do you guys take this thing off?!

This case is ideal for me. I also have a Diztronic TPU but I've never even put that on because of how much I enjoy the Rock case.

However, I find it very difficult to remove and feel like I'm breaking something when I do. Anyone have a good technique for pulling the case off without having to use too much force??
[Galaxy S III Accessories] s3xda:
If your going to be taking it often frequently, think about buying a spare
[Galaxy S III Accessories] pdubcramp:
I doubt I could break the case. It's so snug that it catches on the physical buttons. If I just hold down the power button and slide it over it's easy enough to get off. Obviously I'm still getting used to it. Only taken it off 2-3 times.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] juntistik:
Ordered a Rock case on amazon last week, arrived in two days, will be putting it on my phone this afternoon and I will be sure to leave some feedback.

I too am worried that it wont be enough protection, do you guys worry about scratching the metal around the edges of the phone? I have a screen protector I will be putting on as well.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Docavelli:
Our comes in an authentic looking package so I can only assume so. I'm happy with it.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] Docavelli:
If you're a phone dropper this might not be the case for you. I haven't noticed any scratching on the phone caused by the case. I have only used these types of cases and have never seen scratches.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] Rev1vaL:
I just got mine about 10 minutes ago. For one who never puts a case on their phone, this is amazing.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] RubenRybnik:
Was looking at picking this up. However I'd need to to support NFC with the case on, anyone try that? Also anybody find a US seller or a white version of the case with that same 'rocky textured' look?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Jonbo298:
I'm not a big case fan either but now that I have the phone in hand along with the case, it's perfect for me. Hard to lose grip of the phone while looking smexy.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mariotme:
Smexy :what: :screwy:

Best case for the s3 in terms of smexiness, feel, zero bulk added.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] munsterrr:
Just picked mine up earlier.... First case I have used in 3 phones and MAN! I could not be happier. I slammed the case on the ground a few times to see what she could do.... Not even a buff on it. Cooking some meat on the stove in fat and olive oil and decided to put the case over the pan to see how it would handle hot grease..... Not a mark. Windexed right off.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] droidstyle:
I went with this for the extra protection on the corners.

hi,

1. what is the latest baseband?

2. will the latest will support 3g ?

3. can i update only the baseband without fully erase my phone ROM?

Thanks,

LaBBa.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] asyed107:
My Galaxy Nexus randomly shuts down and doesn't turn back on untill I turn it on manually. It will do this at the most random times even when the battery will be full. I have also noticed that my phone seems to heat up a lot as well. Could this contribute to the problem? The details of my Galaxy Nexus are: Verizon Galaxy Nexus, 4.0.4, rooted running: AOKP Build 39, franco.Kernel nightly r-194 clocked at 1.3GHz. Thank you in advance :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] simms22:
the cpu autmagically shuts down at 110C. if you have thermal throttling off, it can easily reach that point if using heavily.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IINexusII:
most likely the overclock isnt working well for you and is making it too hot
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] asyed107:
hmm yeah my phone does get around 100C+ alot... how can i check if i have thermal throttling off? and yeah i think the temp is causing this...what should i do
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] simms22:
since you are using franco kernel, franco kernel app can enable/disable thermal throttling. it has a cpu temperature meter too. many kernels support this feature. trinity kernel, and trinity kernel toolbox can also disable/enable thermal throttling and has a cpu temperature widget. if you do have thermal throttling off, turn it on. that way when it reaches the throttle limit, itll slow down your cpu and cool off. the cpu cools off rather quickly too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] asyed107:
Gahh im assuming u mean the updater app in which case i cant find where to enable it from -_- the trinity kernel toolbox app has it, well atleast thats wat i see from the screenshots...will that work?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] simms22:
for franco kernel maybe, but id assume not just to be safe. if Francisco and Morfic implemented that option the same way then the TKT app would work. im pretty sure that i read that Francisco added the option to his franco kernel updater app. but i dont use franco kernel so im not 100%.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] asyed107:
is there any other way to enable it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] simms22:
there is probably a terminal command, but i do not know it. everything in these kernel control apps can be done without the app, but through the terminal emulator.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] komoornik:
Can it do it with the HDMI adapter and a video player like mvideoplayer ?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] zetajunkie:
It is possible if you have the player in Software (S/W) Decoder mode, for both .avi files with external .srt files and .mkv files with the subs muxed in. Subtitles will not display if you are in Hardware (H/W) Decoder mode. It should be the same with MX Player Pro.

Hope that helps!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] komoornik:
It should handle the 700MB avi in Software Decoder mode ?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] CrisisCorE:
It should. I tried with a 1.5 gb avi file in software and it worked
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] denkext:
you can, just rename the subtitle as the same as the video file ex: theraidredemption.mkv --> theraidredemption.srt

tested with stock video player app and dice player app (both in H/W decoder mode)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] zetajunkie:
How did you get the stock video app to play subtitles? It does not have any options for it.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] FMAranda:
You just have to rename the .srt the same as the video file, video.mkv and video.srt, when you play the .mkv it will auto load the subtitle, you don't need to change a single setting, it works on my tablet too using the stock video player.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] zetajunkie:
Ah, good to know. Shame the stock player doesn't handle subs within mkv files.

You have to let the battery settle in. I got mine yesterday. I charged it overnight and was at 70% after 3 hours. I charged it back full while I napped and it's starting to discharge a little slower.

I can say one thing. This phone is setup for speed. The stock settings are : max cpu = 1512 MHz / min cpu = 1458 MHz. Ondemand governor and cfq scheduler.

I just lowered minimum down to 486 to see how the battery likes it.

Just Flash It !!!
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] eman3316@optonline.net:
For people who are having issues or think they are, you are probably right where you should be. When people post they are getting 20 hours with moderate use blah blah blah, unless you see there on-screen time and some of there settings the time means nothing.

I do not have an S3 but I have an LTE GNEX with an 2100 extended battery. On 4G most of the day my onscreen time will be anywhere from 2 - 2 1/2 hours. If on wifi I can do better of course as it uses less juice.

The amount of time that I can go without plugging in depends on how much I turn the phone on, not how many hours I can go totally. I can go 20 hours or more if I were only to turn the screen on for an hour or so.

My point is there is a lot to take into consideration and not just people posting they get 3 days of battery on moderate usage.

For true battery comparisons and for some reason no one ever thinks they need to post this info, you need to show on screen time, backlight auto or what they have it set to, any battery mods like turning off data when the device is off, underclocking, wifi or 3g ect. You get my point......Also, when LTE kicks in battery life will probably get worse when using it.

Based on the specs of the device compared to the GNEX, I would think 3 hours of onscreen time is not that bad. Get near 4 or I would say you are probably golden, especially if not on wifi...GSM phones will always get better battery are their radio uses much less power. The GSM version of the GNEX w/ stock battery gets them about 4-5 hours of on screen time nd that is about 1650mah.
