Nice suggestion, but it doesn't make the glue more gummy or anything? Would really have appreciated it if samsung took this into account before they put this odd curve on the glass. Why don't phone companies just ship screen protectors and cases with their phones? In fact the casing should be shock resistant and cheap to replace on EVERY phone. Maybe just a chassis and then you put whatever case around it even.

90% of people stick their nice phone in an ugly $2.99 case. It's a huge market that samsung and others are just giving away. The $39.99 cases don't look any better either...

The sides of the display are curved exactly the same as the top and bottom. That's why the screen protector doesn't completely cover any of the edges.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Comando156:
yea your right about that. realized it after writing it. but still i would like to see a screen protector that accounts for that and still covers entire screen. It is the best free protector i have ever received though.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] vpatel91:
In your opinion, is it easy to pull the phone in and out of your pocket with the case on it?

Thanks for the review!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Comando156:
Yes it is. I don't know if you ever had a seidio case or silicone case, seidio is rubber coated and silicone is like all rubber, they stick in your pocket and are hard to pull out, especially when sweaty. But this harder TPU material makes it much easier. It's not as easy as the slippery phone itself, but not hard. Haven't tried it in a tight set of jeans yet... As I find that to be the ultimate test.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] twinkdogg:
Don't get this case in white. I bought one for my HTC One X and after a week it starts to get discolored.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] LLStarks:
Hmm. The screen protector covers the front-facing camera whereas most other ones have cut-out.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] vpatel91:
Do you have a matte white case, like the one in this review? or a glossy white case?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Comando156:
Wow.... I didn't even notice that. It doesn't appear to affect quality, but then again I don't have an original photo to use as a control to test against.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] OneStepAhead:
From our product description:

Regarding Screen Protector Sizing: Due to the tapered edge design of the Galaxy S III glass it was not possible to make our screen protector cover the glass all the way to the edge. Our screen protector covers the flat part of the glass only, as it would not adhere properly around the edges otherwise. This results in approximately 4mm of space from the edge of the display to the screen protector on all sides. This design choice will be consistent with the other static cling screen protectors on the market.

So basically it's just not possible to make it any bigger than we did or it would peel up along the sides. I would of loved to have them cut the full size of the screen, believe me! The screen is tapered on the right and left as well, so we couldn't of extended it that way either. If your looking for edge-to-edge protection you'll want to get an wet application screen protector, or the Nano from SGP which is an ultra thin PET film, but from my understanding even the Nano doesnt go all the way to the edge. I'm currently using the SGP FlexHD wet application screen protector on my GS 3 and it's pretty decent. I personally prefer PET but it's more important to me to have it go all the way to the edge so I'll settle for thermoplastic urethane on this device. I'm glad your happy with the quality of the screen protector though, we did switch to a Japanese based film which greatly increased our costs as they are 4x as expensive as the previous Korean PET film we were using. I think it's worth the added cost. I'm not sure how much longer we can continue to include them for free though. It doesn't make much sense that our Evo LTE case which doesn't include a screen protector is the same price as our GS III case which does. We'll probably increase the price of our cases that include a screen protector on our next major release by $1.00 to offset the added cost. Would you guys rather see us go back to the cheaper film and include the screen protectors for free, continue using the Japanese film and raise our prices by $1.00, or not include a screen protector at all and keep the prices where they are? Getting a Japanese based film screen protector for $1.00 more is a great deal in my opinion, SGP is charging $12.99 for their Japanese film, although you do get 2 of them for that price.

I really want to stress to you guys that these clear cases don't last as long as our black cases. I'm replacing mine about every 30-60 days because it either picks up blue dye from my pants or just becomes dirty. The matte finish makes it difficult to clean. If you are looking for longevity I'd go with black. If anyone's found a good way to clean them, and I'm sure there is some way to do it, please let me know!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] BonesHopkins:
Cool. Ordered one from Amazon earlier today. :good:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Comando156:
As I use it more and more the screen protector is not noticeable unless evaluating the edges in direct bright light... It doesn't even bother me anymore. It is a much appreciated addition to the case.

I find it interesting that you are speaking against the clear case as it is your own product.... Hmmm. I have not had it long enough to evaluate dirt absorbtion yet. I will update the review as it gets dirty to show time frame and other thoughts over time.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ericjwdchen:
Raise the prices by $1. People respect quality and will see the value added. Especially here on XDA.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] vw671:
Not include the screen protector for me.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] LLStarks:
I didn't see any other case worth buying around the $10 mark. What's another dollar for a better screen protector?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ReggieTee:
Order this case last night.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Felchy:
Thanks for the review.

I ordered this case yesterday. I'm going to be really disappointed if it only lasts me 60 days.

Anyone have pictures of this case on the pebble blue version?

Edit - Found pics in another thread: http://imgur.com/a/Mq9xX#UnaGs
[Galaxy S III Accessories] The_Biz:
Make it a dollar more if the screen protectors are good. I haven't gotten mine yet though.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] MMakoto:
i ordered a matte black on amazon the other day, but then i read one of the seller's comment about a pebble blue one coming in a couple of weeks, so i'll wait for that instead.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] BonesHopkins:
I got mine today. Matte black. Nice case. Feels comfortable, fits well. But the screen protector.....man...this thing picks up fingerprints and smudges like crazy!!!!!!!! :eek: And they're not easy to get off. Had to really scrub it with the microfiber cloth it came with.

No problem recommending the case but if you also want a screen protector, get a different one.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Comando156:
Maybe they sent you a different screen protector... Because the one I received doesn't smudge or hold fingerprints that much at all.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] BonesHopkins:
Not sure if they have different ones but the sku on the barcode of mine says GS3-DM-BLK and the barcode number is 6 08729 81947 9.

The one I'm curious about is this one http://www.xgearlive.com/products/android/spectre

I'll keep the diztronic one on until either that one comes out or I find something I like.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] janusman:
Yellowing?

I have got a few cases from Diztronic - but never a while one.

I bought one -	Diztronic Matte Back Clear Flexible TPU Case & Screen Protector for Samsung Galaxy S III for my White SGS3.

To my disappoint it got discolored badly - yellowish brown - even after using it predominantly indoors. There were a few reviews that did say bout the yellowing. But, the description said they have added some anti yellowing agent to slow down the effect..

I used it indoors mostly - and it still got discolored pretty badly.. buying a diff color now.. waste of money although I love the case ..

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soap:
Instead of using cwm use a Ra based recovery like smelkus‘. Best recovery for evo.

Rename the file to "recovery.img" then go to the command prompt and type in "fast boot flash recovery recovery.img [enter]"

Make sure everything is spelt correctly and it should work.

Remember to thank smelkus if you get it working. Good luck man.

Flashing recovery w fastboot

Hi,

R u absolutely sure u can just rename, for example "smelkus recovery 4.2.img", to "recovery.img" then after u have adb & fast boot working, simply type "fast boot flash recovery recovery.img"?

I saw instructions I believe in the EVO 4G dev area, under-team DIRT that u need to use the fast boot command as stated but with the path to whatever the name of the recovery image is. If so, this is the answer I've been looking for. Because I have to get smelkus installed before I can properly partition my SD card and then install the team DIRT ICS ROM.

Thx
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soap:
Yes. This works. Once renamed just type in Adb "Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"

Okay, here goes -- My co-worker dropped her SGS4G out of her back pack. The screen cracked and she couldn't tell if it was turning back on or anything. She says she has a lot of stuff on the internal storage. (pictures/video of her new child).

I can't tell if it's booting at all. I can do the 3-button's and connect to USB and if I adb devices -- it shows in recovery. I tried pulling the data from the phone, but of course -- most of it was skipped/protected.

If I adb reboot, it seems to try -- but since the screen is cracked/not working I can't really tell if it's doing anything.

After that -- if I adb devices -- it doesn't show anything connected. I assume b/c USB Debugging wasn't enabled.

She was complete stock.

Is there any hope of getting any of her data off the phone or should I perhaps push her towards getting a replacement screen and seeing what could come from that?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
I doubt she has any pictures or video in internal storage since the sgs4g uses /sdcard for most of the storage that isn't app-specific data. They're all most likely gonna be in her sdcard so just get a microsd USB adapter and you're set.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bigshotproducer:
She didn't even have ad sdcard in the phone and SAID she hasn't in a while....hmmmmm
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
Hmm, that's very unlikely, pretty much all the apps won't allow you to do that.

Does she know what version of android was on her phone? Since she's had it for a while I'm going to assume that she had Froyo on it.

You can try rooting via Superoneclick. I think superoneclick would be safer.

Once you're rooted you can try pulling all the data again since you won't get the permissions problems. The only thing is that you'll probably still need to confirm su access to the terminal which you won't be able to do if the touchscreen is broken.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bigshotproducer:
I'll give that a try I guess. Can't hurt! She left it with me for the weekend, so we'll see. Thanks!

Hello,

I updated my SGS2 to the 4.0.3 firmware from my previous 2.3.6 Gingerbread. After the update my phone lags a lot and the ICS keyboard for texting lags and just sucks.

How can I flash my ROM or whatever it is back to Gingerbread? I don't like this ICS and would rather run GB on my phone. It looked "nicer" in my opinion and ran much much smoother.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
You can not undo the the update, per se. You can flash back to stock 2.3.4. If you want to do that, follow the guide linked in my signature to prepare the phone to return to the store.

There is no stock 2.3.6 available.

You can also flash stock plus root 2.3.4 or 2.3.6. For this, you can follow the guide linked in my signature about installing custom firmware without incrementing the flash counter. You would have to get the 2.3.6 firmware from the Download Repository.

In any event, since you will be changing firmware base, you will have to perform a wipe data/factory reset. The instructions are in the guide. You will lose all installed programs, personal settings, contacts, text messages, etc, unless you back them up.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cattledog:
Once a person commits to dumping the stock 4.0.3 back to 2.3.4, it's a matter of time and reading before they will flash a custom rom.

ICS has too many added features to give it up. If you know that you can go back to 2.3.4 without issue, why not flash a custom ROM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] votinh:
I believe you can call AT&T CSR and ask for help.

Should AT&T have provided the instruction for reversing back to GB?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] JK_the_Slacker:
Well, this is not entirely accurate. If you flash the stock 2.3.4, you can still do the OTA (over the air) 2.3.6 update from the phone (Settings -> Software Update, IIRC.) We just don't have it dumped and ready to flash from PC. Be aware that this will be a huge hit to your data, so you should use WIFI if possible (it's free at most McDonald's.)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sadastronaut:
If I flash back to stock 2.3.4 (without root), will I be able to use the OTA updates to get back to 2.3.6? Or will there be a problem since I used Odin to get back to 2.3.4?

Download Mode

You wont be needing unless you want to return the phone completely back to stock, or if you screw-up so badly that CWR no longer works for you this is a good safety net to go back to stock.

Prerequisites:

Get and Install the USB drivers directly from Samsung website http://www.samsung.com/us/support/do...SGH-T989ZKBTMB

click on "Software" tab

select the one listed as "Device(Install),Tethering (Software)"

turn off the phone

wait for the green battery to show up

use left hand thumb to hold on down vol+ & vol-

NOTE: Telus SGH-T989D only requires vol-

plug in USB cable

wait until it shows the Warning!! screen

then hit vol up to confirm, then it'll let you continue into the Download Mode

NOTE: you can exit the Download mode screen by holding power button for 10 sec

To Odin the phone back to stock

Download Odin (if you don't already have a copy already)

Download a stock ROM matching your phone model listed in the INDEX page http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1324517

boot into Download Mode as shown above

then flash the stock ROM using Odin
