Looks good! I might get Incipio Feather :D

[Galaxy S III Accessories] SlimJ87D:
So I went and compared this case with the Speck candy shell one. I'm sticking to Incipio.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] KevTN:
Do you feel the screen is protected from the accidental falls? Thanks
[Galaxy S III Accessories] vw671:
Can you elaborate? Was there something you disliked about the Candy Shell.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SlimJ87D:
From falls, acrylic is known to break. Speck Candyshell should be much stronger with the plastic material they are using. But it will protect for phone and get the job done. Plus there are some add on bonuses like the screen protector and clothe.

I chose it mainly because it looks the best, slides in and out of my pocket, and feels studry enough for my lifestyle. I work in a cubicle, not construction, trucking, etc.

Candyshell is very VERY hard to get on and off of the phone. Try and watch a video on how it attaches itself, the hard rubber and plastic are almost molded in together where is the incipio are two separate pieces.

So if you ever wanted to get your ext SD card out to transfer files, access your battery for battery pulls if you get a soft brick during flashing, the Speck will make it extremely difficult. I meant extremely. It feels like you are going to break your phone in half to get it off.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] micromania:
Thanks for the review.

I hope someone can do a side by side comparison/review of of the otterbox commuter and this.

After all that i've seen so far, i am down to choosing between the two for my needs.

Can't to seem to find the case with the colour in your photo on the website.. Hmm...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kidziti:
I thought I'd add to this thread since I have used the Incipio Silicrylic Dual Protection case on my new S3 over a busy weekend. After three days of use, these are my impressions:

PROS

Slim styling adds minimal bulk, while the two-piece design adds protection while adding sophisticated styling details

Excellent side-button covers give an accurate tactile feel to the on/off and volume toggle switches on the side of device - I can feel the case itself click with the button!

Smart, well-centered cutouts for all ports, camera lenses, etc. with no exposed plastic edges (all rubber or rubber-lined)

Nice - almost "rubberized" - feel to the plastic outer case with an almost aluminum look - so it feels AND looks sharp

The blue teal color is unique - Incipio doesn't offer it on their website, so it's probably a T-Mo exclusive (I picked mine up in a T-Mo store). And, uncannily, it just happens to be a perfect match for my VAIO EB "Iridescent Blue" notebook PC - not intended but a pleasant surprise that likely no one without an iridescent blue VAIO will likely care about.

CONS

Poor implementation of clear acetate screen protector - first, only one is included. Although the surface of the S3 is only subtly convex, it is enough for the edges of the screen protector to separate and float above the corners of the device. Additionally, the edges of the rubber shell will overlap some of the acetate screen saver, further "nudging" it off the screen.

Extra screen protectors are surprisingly unavailable from Incipio as a separate purchase

Minor point - extra outer or inner shells unavailable, so mixing colors is not an option (I'd think that would be a revenue generator for Incipio since the two-piece stylish design lends itself to some fun mix-and-matches)

CONCLUSION

In all, this is the best case I've had for a smart phone yet. Since the S3 - like the other Samsung S-series smart phones - uses Gorilla Glass, the value of the screen protector is questionable, but my Samsung S (Vibrant) was showing microscratches after 20 months of in-and-out-of-pocket use despite Corning's claims. If anyone has figured out how to use the screen protector, I'd like to know about it. Perhaps a slightly larger screen protector from another manufacturer (a true edge-to-edge) would work better with the Incipio shell.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SlimJ87D:
It's an exclusive to tmobile right now I think.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] yeahmon:
No. It is thin. I sent mine back because it was so slippery in the hand, I felt I was at a greater chance to drop the device WITH the case on rather than without it. It felt like it was covered in baby powder or talc or something.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kidziti:
Wow - that is definitely not my experience. I have the Silicrylic DualPro but not the DualPro Shine - in case that makes a difference..
[Galaxy S III Accessories] bmpau:
Looks a great case
[Galaxy S III Accessories] :
I went and bought this case earlier. i will upload a few pics when the camera is charged. My case isn't as blue as the op's case though but it has the same sku on the back. I think it may be the lighting as mine's more of a teal color. Still a cool color though.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] micromania:
is the rubber part flexible easily on the sides once the hard case is on?

that was a problem with other incipio silicrylic cases. the rubber would move in your pocket cause it was too lose and lint/dust would get trapped between the case and the rubber.

i hope the response is that "it's nice and tight"

im really looking into buying this case.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] :
It's not sloppy loose but it's not as tight as say the "body glove dimensions" case either. But then again, it's a different material. While the body glove it really tuff, this is really smooth. I like this one better.

Incipio SILICRYLIC in blue exclusively for T-Mobile USA.

The case is very, very nice. The soft material is very comfortable and a joy to grip. The plastic is also a great "soft" feeling material. I've jumped through 4 premium cases so far and this is by far the best one for what I want in a case. The only thing that stopped me from buying this in the 1st place, was the colors available on the Incipio site. The color of this one is more of a metallic teal than the blue that it looks in the pictures. I'd rather have the blue, but the teal is very attractive in person.

The case is $30 at T-Mobile (I snagged it for like $23). I would've payed the $30 though no problem. Cause I feel the case is way better than some that are priced higher.

The main thing about this case - It's easy to take off so I can swap batteries. This is a must for me as I've tried it with the speck case, the body glove dimensions and the case-mate barely there and this is by far the easiest to take off.

When it comes to protection, this is number 1 from the ones I've tried. And that includes the speck candy shell. The reason this beats the speck? Cause you seriously run a risk of cracking the gs3 screen while trying to remove it from the speck. And there should be no reason that a case, can make you risk breaking your phone while trying to do a simple task like removing it.

Some say "use a tool to remove the speck". Nah, I'll pass. If the 10 tools that I use daily for other jobs (fingers), can't remove the case, then the case is a p.o.s.

If the phone falls in this case, it has just as much of a survival rate as that of the candy shell, if not more... I have dropped phones from waist high with a Incipio feather on it and it didn't have a mark on it (gs2). I'm pretty sure that this case can do better. The candy shell, though it has a hard and soft material, is a lot less shock absorbing than this. The reason is the specks "soft material", isn't nearly as soft as this Incipio case. And for that reason alone, I feel there's a risk of less shock absorption with it than this case.. Drop a rock and a sponge and tell me which one does better...

Here's the pics.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chad_Petree:
Last night power went off in my neighborhood so i depleted the battery to 0% since i wasnt able to charge my phone, power went back and i plugged the charger but the phone was dead, i thought battery was totally depleted so i left if overnight , when i woke up it still didnt turn off, i swapped batteries with my friend , the phone booted, i placed my original battery again and surprise! it was charged ... funny,

Quickly i realized that if i stop using the phone and the screen turns itself off the phone turns down without vibrating or anything, if i plug it to my computer it shut downs abruptly too, if i try toi turn it on with the battery plugged in it wont turn on, i manually deleted the batterystats thinking they could be messed up, no luck, i did a factory reset , no luck, i tried booting in recovery mode and as soon as the android image with the android bot lay down appears it turns itself off, now im really scared , i dont know what to do, i live in Venezuela and the warranty does not apply here, also the repair centers suck, i had my motorola milestone butchered here :(

Any idea if this can be used to display nook's screen on a tv?

http://www.dealextreme.com/p/micro-...-adapter-with-usb-charging-cable-black-140197
[Nook Touch Accessories] Renate:
It would be really cool if it did, but as far as I know the Nook does not have MHL.

A micro USB connector is only five pins, but if it's implemented in the device they can be switched between:

USB peripheral or host interface

Analog audio headset with microphone

MHL video output

Debugging UART serial port

Unfortunately, the Nook has only been proved to support the USB interface.
[Nook Touch Accessories] mrWax:
USB to VGA

well I have seen these USB to VGA on ebay

could this work?
[Nook Touch Accessories] Renate:
It would be very interesting to get a USB to video adaptor working.

It might be a long road to getting it to mirror the Nook screen transparently.

The first step is to find something with Linux drivers.

The next step is to get it to expose its frame buffer on the system.

At that point, it would be possible to make an application to copy images between the two frame buffers.

Even that might have some utility for Power Point style presentations.
[Nook Touch Accessories] mrWax:
nook PC?

sounds plausible. would be also nice to be able to use Nook like PC.

Hi there

Im using nova launcher ans cm9. Today i installed a cm9 (Theme chooser) theme with realy nice Icons. If i edit my lockscreen icons i can select the new once under "System Icons" but if i want to change Them within Nova launcher i cant find them.

Where do i find them or how can i make them available?

Thanks for helping
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StyxCrosser:
Lock Screen Icons to use in Nova launcher

You can find them in your ROM zip file under /system/framework/framework-res.apk/res/drawable-hdpi/.

Use 7-Zip to extract drawable-hdpi folder. There are lots of PNG files in that folder.

I suggest you find the ones you want and then put them in a folder like Icons then copy the folder to your SD Card.

I hope this will help. :p;)

Have you tried pulling the battery out and re-inserting?

My G2X did that after I charged my battery, everything went blank (pressing power did nothing). Pulling the batt and putting back in worked. Then I changed the setting to keep phone awake when charging and that fixed it for me.

Perhaps it's the same issue here.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Omia28000:
Since there are issues with Bluetooth Audio of ICS 4.0.3 is there a way to port the all the Bluetooth associated files for Galaxy S2 in ICS 4.0.3 from the GB rom 2.3.6 or 2.3.9 MIUI. Its is very frustrating when the Bluetooth audio skips at connect.

My problem is the Bluetooth audio connects and everything is fine but when you start playing music it skips at first until you pause the song for few seconds and then press play again. But I cannot do that when using GPS as it cuts the Voice guidance all teh time. The problem is with the Bluetooth AVCRP and associated file.

So I was wondering if it can be ported from GB 2.3.6 or MIUI GB2.3.9? Or is there any other solution to this other then Buying a Nokia or any other phone.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] lwizard:
similar problem

I'm interested, too. With 2.3.5 everything fine.

With 4.0.3 occasional bt not connecting, I have to disable and reenable. Also when disabling

Flight mode, bt doesn't return on automatically like wifi.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] eduede:
Hi Guys,

I have a brand new GSIII 32 gig. I live in Chicago (No LTE). I'm on the Sprint CDMA network. I have 3g Data.

My connection bars will fluctuate constantly from near full signal, to 1 bar, to no bars, to near full signal, to Roaming, out roaming, full signal, etc. I cannot make a phone call or send a text. But, I have successfully placed a call when the phone happens to be in its "roaming phase".

Note that this has happened to me on another device: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1025108

I've updated the PRL and the profile several times. I've done a hard reset of the phone...

What is happening? Tech support has been completely unhelpful. They claim that there are some open tickets in my area for towers blocking voice (and text). But, my wife and brother have the same phones (though my wife's is 16gig) and theirs work fine (same carrier, same family plan)...

Any thoughts, suggestions, things to try?

Best,

Eamon

I had the first iphone (before android was out), and I was part of the guys that was hacking it at version 1.02 of IOS, and figuring out jailbreaking and such.

ick!

I'm fed up with apple BS. I just had an argument this morning about android and ios with one of my close friend's who's also in IT. I'm an android fanboy but i can clearly say without any hesitation that apple does make great products. I had an iphone4, an ipad, and an apple tv. Good stuff. As much as I like their stuff, I don't think it's necessarily better; Just different. I like having a choice. I've been with android since day one and know that android is just as capable as any ios device, and in some cases more capable. I love than I can get a phone in any size shape or color from any carrier. Apple people think that's bad for some reason.

Ever listen to any of their presentations? They sound like this.

"70% of apple users upgrade to the latest version of our OS 100% more than any other OS. Today we're announcing that everyone can get the latest version for only... $20"

Does that make any sense to you? They actually said something like this at WWDC2012. Every one of their slides and charts has all sorts of skewed information and apple sheep eat it right up. Like when they say that the ipad has over 200k apps designed for it, then they diss android. But they don't mention that every single android app since ICS built for both phones and tablets. Nah they leave that part out.

Apple gets praised for selling OS updates for $20.

Windows gets slammed for giving people service packs for free.

Apple gets praise for updating it's last two iphones, but google gets slammed for only upgrading their last two and not the every other manufacturers phones. It seems unfair, and simply childish at this point trying to talk to apple people. God (for those who believe in him/her) could come from heaven and say that Android is really better, and apple people would still deny it.

This writer should be ashamed of himself for not only drinking the cool-aid, but for letting it skew his review and putting out bad information to consumers.

"My opinion is that iOS is still the stronger operating system; it’s simpler, easier to manage, and anyone switching between the two OS’s will be better off with iOS in any case."

Dear uninformed,

If you in fact have used any of them, then you have zero credibility when it comes to technology! Even if you don't care for the phone, which I personally like but there are others I care for more, your conclusions of outdated processor, bad camcorder, and camera is not as good as the s2, are so completely far off from what is obvious to even a smartphone beginner!

Total crap journalism, and absolutely the most uninformed, uneducated, clueless "tech journalist" (if that's your title at this.... Blog Site?) that I have ever layed eyes on!
