They report its booting and that its going to be available to all SGS III's once US variants get cm9. So it's a waiting game!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] mt3g:
So after all that saying that it's never going to happen and this and that, I give you good proof that is and has already happened and I get nothing back... haha. But OP tell me you aren't excited for this?!?

Hi

I just bought my new Galaxy S3 yesterday and have already bought an micro usb to usb a - female cable, because I've seen some videos with usb devices connected over that port.

When I plub in any usb device (usb Stick 8Gb for example) nothing happens.. does this functionality work only with specific cables, like the MHL adapter?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
Make sure the USB-Stick is not NTFS-formatted, Stock Samsung firmware can only handle Ext (Linux) and FAT32/exFAT formatted drives.

If you want to use NTFS, you can flash SiyahKernel through Odin (will void your warranty)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darKpoiSonend:
I have checked my USB Drive and it is formatted with Fat32, I also tested Mouse and Keyboard and neither one of them worked.

Was thinking about rooting anyways, and for warranty i could unroot and reset the flashcounter right?

are there any disadvantages of the kernel? battery life, unstable etc.?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cydiamante:
Yes it is a speacial cable called usb on the go. Got the original Samsung one from Amazon and it works perfectly :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darKpoiSonend:
double checked everything.. i got the wrong cable.. -.-

i bought an adapter, which seems to not have the OTG function...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodie:
this is the one i ordered, doesnt say OTG but works fine:victory:

I just searched ebay for "otg cable" about £2 each and work perfectly
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlads:
Bought 3 for 3 pound on amazon. Then a mock ps3 controller for 3 too. All work well, Xbox pads work perfect so long as you get USB/bt centre.

Haven't tried a memory stick but I'm sure it would work. Nokia USB micro to usb female work well too.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geargamer:
I just bought one on eBay for $1. Plus free shipping. It says for sgs2 but from what I understand is still compatible with the sgs3. Only the mhl adapter is different. I will try and let you know how this works when I get it.

Edited: Ok, so I got my otg cable yesterday witch came a week early and I have successfully connected my ps3 controller with it. I haven't try anything else with it yet but for a dollar it's great.

Not sure why I have yet to see anyone mention these on here, but on a whim I went to their site and saw they are selling 3 styles for our phone now. Back when I had my iphones (3gs and 4) these cases were always my favorite. Once I got my GSII, I didn't see them releasing anything for it and didn't like many of the other cases out there, so I just went commando.

I just ordered the black candy shell (for my white GS3) and will also be checking back to see if any other colors are released. I always felt they offered a great amount of protection (kept my iphone 4 safe MULTIPLE times from really bad drops) and not TOO much bulk (IE- not an otterbox).

Pixelskin HD (had this on my ip4 first, probably the most well constructed tpu style case out there)

http://www.speckproducts.com/smartphone-cases/samsung/pixelskin-hd-for-samsung-galaxy-s3.html

Fabshell (not my cup-o-tea :) )

http://www.speckproducts.com/fabshell-for-samsung-galaxy-s3.html

Candyshell (cannot wait to get mine)

http://www.speckproducts.com/candyshell-for-samsung-galaxy-s3.html

Once I get mine, I will post up a mini review. But judging from my past experience with them, I know I will love it.

Anyone else get them yet?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] bbeelzebub:
I'm planning on getting one of these (Candyshell), however, it appears they color I want isn't in stock yet. (Dark Grey). Apparently some AT&T stores have them in stock though.

I'm on Verizon, but may need to take a trip into AT&T and pick one up.

Somebody on Android Central posted pics of theirs and it is gorgeous. Looks perfect with the SG3.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] hawkeye2188:
My wife has the white/pink candyshell one on her Atrix 2 and when i took it off she ad some rusty looking stains on the corners of her phone.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] MoJoePin:
I bought a grey Speck Candyshell from my local AT&T store for $35 while I waited for the cheaper slimmer cases I had ordered. It was a great fit, almost a tad too tight for my liking. But it was very solid, offered nice protection for the back/sides/rim-raised for the screen.

I just returned it as my other cases came, IMO the fit was a little too tight for me, and it added just a bit too much bulk for me, I like my cases barely there. Though I'm sure many will love it, this was just my feeling on it.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] gaveup:
Perhaps makeup from her purse? I can't see any case causing something like that.

as the case...with any case (sorry, that just sounded weird), you should remove them from time to time and clean the phone still. Most people I know do not do this and then get all mad when there is dirt scratching the back of the phone. Completely ignoring the fact the case has been on for over a year.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] hawkeye2188:
I dont know possibly, she doesnt care about it so it doesnt bother me much. Thanks for the heads up though.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] NA 521":
The Candyshell looks awesome, but does anyone know what the finish is like? I need something with a little bit of rubbery grip bcause this phone just wants to slide right out of my hands.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] hawkeye2188:
My wife's candyshell case doesn't feel rubbery/grippy, however it doesn't ever seem to slip out of her hands either.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] bbeelzebub:
Good point!

I had that happen with my DINC. Scratches from dirt and dust getting in. Was hoping that the Speck wouldn't do that as it's more enclosed and lined, but still..... I think I'll remember to do that from time to time.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] NA 521":
I just looked at one at a store and the finish was too smooth for me. I need something with a little more grip. My search continues...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] smontana16:
Just ordered the black/dark grey candyshell. All colors of the candyshell are available on their site with free shipping right now.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] The_Biz:
I ordered one of the candy shells yesterday. It should be here tomorrow. They also said that if enough people hit the feedback button link on the bottom of their main site and request the SmartFlex Card for the gs3, they will make it.

Smartflex for iPhone 4s link

I've already done the feedback so hopefully others will too.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jrodsep:
Anyone have pics of their device with the Candyshell on?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Wond3r:
That is such a nice looking case.

I read so much about the soft edges eventually flaking though, and the back being easy to scratch
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SemiGamer:
Which color is that listed as on the site? Black/Dark Gray I assume?

Soot/black is the one I want and its the only one thats unavailable! D;

What do you guys think of the Bayou/Pebble on a PB phone? Might go with that if Soot isn't available soon.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] The_Biz:
What color is that?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Bluerai:
I think I may go with the Bayou/Pebble for the PB ill be getting too... Guess we can love or hate the color combo together haha
[Galaxy S III Accessories] The_Biz:
That's the same color I ordered. All were available when I ordered and thought the bayou/pebble looked pretty good.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] fulleraj:
It's the soot/black in the pics above.....picked it up at the ATT store last week. Although a little off topic i also ordered the cruzer lite TPU clear case for $9 off am@zon. Bottomline, you get what you pay for in cases.....don't expect a $35 case for $9. The speck case is a quality product while i feel the other is not.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] :
:/

The one on the website looks way different than the one you posted. :(

I wanted a light (off gray) color with the blue. Yours looks blueish purple with darker blueish on the corners. :confused:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] fulleraj:
Sorry biz...i stand corrected. dug up the box and it is soot/black.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] :
Started having me worried. :p

Thanks for the relief.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SemiGamer:
Phew I was like There's no way they could screw up a display imagine that badly LOL.

So AT&T sells these cases in store? I was in the Mall of America today and the AT&T store was the only one that DIDNT have any cases for the S3. (Sprint had a panda one with panda ears coming out the top, my girlfriend loved it, just a heads up to the ladies with this phone)

Did you happen to notice if they had the bayou/pebble color in stock too?

Also guess they kinda did screw up the display pic cuz the Soot/black picture on their site looks dark gray not dark blue :P
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Mherder:
And i just ordered the Incipio too.... ah well il have to get one of these. Had the candyshell on my iPhone before.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] cashyftw:
Just ordered pixel skin hd, looks awesome
[Galaxy S III Accessories] :
I saw the incipio at the Verizon store and it looked pretty good.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] NA 521":
How does it feel in the hand? Does it make the phone less "slippery"? If you place the phone on a smooth surface, is it harder to make slide with the case on? I wonder if lightly scuffing the case with sandpaper to give it a matte finish will give it better grip. I felt this case in a store ( with no phone in it) and thought it was too smooth and hard.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] fulleraj:
Case is slippery but not enough to make it feel awkward/bad in the hand. If placed on laminated table or car dash, it will definately slide off. Had it about a week....just a couple extremely fine scratches in coating and some of the initial slipperyness is gone (maybe something factory puts on them to keep them from sticking together). After buying a couple other brands, i really dont think anyone would be disappointed in this case as long as you are content with their nontraditional color selections.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] :
Link?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] NA 521":
Thanks a lot. Would you mind measuring the thickness of the case?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] :
I'd say 3/16 thickness. Saw one earlier at the AT&T store while ordering the spare battery/charger combo for $39!!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] NA 521":
I mean the thickness of the entire thing, from the top surface to the bottom surface. In other words, if the phone is laying on a table and you put a straight edge across it, how much space would there be between the table and the straight edge. I think you mean the thickness of the material that covers the back?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Jake101:
Seems a little pricey since Otterbox's are shipping today for similar prices on amazon.

(Can't post links yet)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] :
Idk on that. I'll measure it if nobody answers when mine arrives.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] pschatz12:
My box I just bought at ATT said For the color was Speck Grey/Black...I tried chatting with speck online chat and he said that Soot/Black was the same color as Speck Grey/Black...does anyone have knowledge if they are the same colors or if the case was made exclusively for AT&T...thanks
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Jirv311:
How hard is it to take off? I bought a Candyshell for my Vivid but it felt like I was going to break the phone in half trying to get it off. It's a very nice case though.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] :
It's really hard. I sent mine back because of it. Nice looking but I'm not down to break my phone for a piece of plastic that's supposed to keep it from getting broke.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Jirv311:
That's what I was afraid of. It IS a nice case but that just bothers me.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SemiGamer:
Received my Pebble/Bayou and it had a crack in it where the silicone logo is on the back, called Speck and they're sending out a new one right now, And I can keep this one for protection til I receive the new one. Free of charge for the exchange, shipping both ways is on them.

Good customer service IMO
[Galaxy S III Accessories] :
Happen to be like this?

Yea, it's a weak spot in the case design. The new one will eventually crack too. It's cause the logo and what not.

If it isn't cracked when you get it, it will be when you have to pry your phone out a few times. This was also a deciding factor in returning mine.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] funkpod:
i'd like to know the thickness of the candyshell case, too, thank you!

---------- Post added at 10:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:08 PM ----------

also, caseaholic recommends getting a lighter color if you are worried about scratches showing.

look at the comments.

http://caseaholic.com/2012/06/27/review-speck-samsung-galaxy-s-3-candyshell-case/
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SemiGamer:
Yup exactly. Oh well it was a gift so I'll keep it til the glacier otterbox commuter releases.

Yours have it upon arrival or after use?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] :
On arrival.

Here's some pics if people are interested.

In the last pic you can't even see the crack, but it's there.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SemiGamer:
Nice photos. Its a shame cause I really do like the look of this case. Decided to just use it til its unusable anymore lol (the new replacement that is)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] funkpod:
thanks for the pics! man, that's a great looking case! are you able to measure the size of the case's thickness? i tried asking Speck, but they won't tell me. weird. no response from them.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] :
Sorry but I no longer have the case. I sent it back because of its problems. One of the pics shows its thickness.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] gaveup:
Just an update.

Got the case. For me, it is absolutely perfect and I will do with it what I do to all glossy cases I get, sand it.

Since it is black and glossy it will show scratches pretty easily. To remedy this, I just sand it with some 1500 grit sand paper. Gives it a matter look and makes it a bit more grippy.

Mine doesn't have the crack everyone is speaking about, but really..it's a case. As long as it protects the phone from me dropping it and has a nice form factor, I am happy.

And about removing it being hard...people need to use their head sometimes. I just use my laminated petco card on my keychain. Stick it in and run it up a corner and the phone just pops right out......
[Galaxy S III Accessories] OneStepAhead:
It's impossible to take it off more than once without breaking it. It's a shame as the CandyShell has always been my favorite case. It you take it off top first it will crack from the camera down to the S in "Speck", if you take it off bottom first it will crack in the middle of the microUSB port hole. If you don't need to change batteries this case is great, but I personally don't ever charge my phone I just swap batteries, so I don't see how I can use a CandyShell as Speck isn't going to want to replace it for me daily. Plus it looks a little funny for the Diztronic owner to be rocking a Speck case anyway :p

---------- Post added at 04:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:24 PM ----------

I sent them an email asking if they'll be releasing an updated revision. Hopefully they are otherwise this case is dead in the water.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] :
Some people don't wanna slide a card up the side of their phone.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] gaveup:
I guess a flexible, laminated plastic is dangerous to use on a harder plastic.

I can't help but laugh a little on the inside when I see people complain about something so trivial and whatnot. Just a phone. I've been doing this for a while with every phone I have owned and never had a problem. I can't see anything getting scratched or something going wrong (at least, I have never seen it).
[Galaxy S III Accessories] :
If you want to carry a spare tire and a Jack for your case, that's fine. But I'm not using something that shouldn't be needed.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tekhna:
Those Candyshell case colors are pretty bleh, anyone know if they're getting something more interesting?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] :
Idk but I just picked up the incipio case from T-Mobile. Makes the speck seem even worse. This incipio is a $30 case.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ficklecycler:
Anyone with the pixelskin hd willing to post some pictures?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] funkpod:
you HAVE to post pics of this! VERY intrigued w/ how this looks!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] gaveup:
Ask and you will receive..

I used a maroon tack clothe. Went in a single direction. Washed. There you have it....

sent from my rooted AT&T GS3.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] NA 521":
Great minds...

I saw this case in an at&t store and my first thought was to sand it to give it a better texture. I might have even mentioned it in this or another thread. I loved the case but didn't love the finish. Nice work.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] gaveup:
Yeah, I did this with my last 3 that I had. Glossy just got scratched way too easily. This holds up a lot better. Much happier with the case now.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] TitaniumBarbell:
Looks fantastic to me! Enjoy!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] spdapimp217:
Just picked one up from the AT&T store before they closed. I ended up getting the Candyshell soot/black. I used to have one when I had the iPhone and loved the quality of it. I just might have to give this sandpaper thing a go because the back does show scratches pretty easily due to the glossy finish.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Bluerai:
Mine is cracked there too!

I was going to call and get mine swapped out.. Doesn't seem to be worth the bother if it'll just happen again..

Now I guess the dilemma is do I return it and get a different case, or just live with it..

Eventually i'll probably have spares batteries I use.

Back on the hunt for a case I guess :(

Edit:

Or just use my Triobump and pray that it works how I want it to. (don't have the phone yet unfortunately)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] :
I'd return it. Why pay for a damaged item? Get the incipio case that I did the mini review on.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] browniegirl:
LLLLOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now i want to buy one and do it that way.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mrvirginia:
for those that are saying it's hard to get the phone out... i saw in a video that because of the rubber pieces in between each side, top/bottom, it's flexible. can you not flex a side and top outward and have the phone fall out for you :confused:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] :
For the iPhone though right? That phone is a lot thicker than this. And that video, he still struggles with it.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mrvirginia:
no, there's a vid of someone putting it on a dummy SGS3. it's a hard phone but not the actual phone. he flexes it before putting it on. i'll locate the vid real quick...

---------- Post added at 03:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:19 PM ----------

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5yMantXJK8&feature=g-hist

at about 2:13 he flexes it... unless it's just ridiculously hard to flex it like that.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] :
I've seen this video before. Yea, the case flexes while it's off the phone. But I have yet to see anybody show how to remove it from a phone especially a real gs3 with applying extreme pressure the case and the phone while doing it. And he doesn't show how to remove it.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mrvirginia:
i suppose you're right. still stuck on deciding between case-mate tough case and this silicrylic. what concerns me with the silicrylic is the sides in comparison to the tough case because this is held in place on the case-mate version. i had one on my SGS2 and it was stellar. bottoms/tops of both are of course the same.

also, not difficult to get a tough case on/off because that backing does bend if you give it some force.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] OneStepAhead:
Well my replacement case arrived today from Speck. I can see it's cracked in the exact same place as the last one and I haven't even removed it from the packaging. How nice of them to check the product before sending me it lol. Considering they told me:

"There are no plans to issue a revised SIII, so many of those have shipped out and only a couple had those issues. We have definitely located the problem pile and are good to go! "

It's pretty disappointing. I guess we aren't good to go after all.

edit: Has anyone had this problem with a color other than Grey? I haven't seen any posts of the other colors cracked.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] :
So now what will you do?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] funkpod:
WHOA..................
[Galaxy S III Accessories] afbond03:
Glad I came across this thread. I've forgot about speck while trying to find a case for my S3. My wife has a Speck on her 4s and it is probably one of the better feeling cases I've ever held. Good grip and doesn't add to much bulk but gives excellent protection.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Boss Daddy:
I USED to love Speck cases on my iPhone when I had that phone. One night I was exiting my vehicle and my iPhone fell out of my pocket (was wearing gym shorts), and it fell about 4ft. into the concrete ground. Didn't think nothing of it, have dropped phone plenty of times and from higher altitudes, but when I picked it up my screen was cracked! Couldn't believe it! From then on I told myself I would never buy another Speck case ever again.

I hope you guys have better luck than me! But, right now I have a crappy Rocketfish case from Best Buy to hold me over. Went to my AT&T Corp. store and ordered a Otterbox Defender for this bad boy. :D
