This is review of the full coverage tpu case.

In another thread I did state that this case is flimsy, and I wasn't really interested in it, in shenzhen when using it, it seems a good idea, but the lid did not lay flat and just kept on popping out up from the main body.

The lid has about 4-5 notches that are held down with groves at the rim of the main body.

the lid also has a piece of clear plastic, similar to the materials used for id holders, but not as flexible.

the lid is a anti-glare type with fine specks of glitter, in china and hong kong we call this diamond coat.

the front camera and two sensor on the lid is not covered with glitter, but is made clear through the plastic, but not cutout.

May be the version that I have tested out in hong kong was a better quality one and not the sample that was tested in china, and the lid did seem to fit right into the body without the lid trying to force itself out and it fit rather well.

The case itself has cut out for the two speakers, home button, two mic's, headset socket and the USB socket.

The volume and power button are covered.

The back of the case is glossy finished, whiles the rest of the case is matt, soft/fine grainy finished( not like the rock case reviewed in this forum).

It probably look better if the whole case was the matt finished and not glossy.

Now, many member might want to know if the touch features can be used with the lid on, well after using it today the touch sensitvity is very responsive,the clear plasic is about 0.3mm-0.4mm thick, my phone also had another clear Protector on it was supplied with my nillkin case that I bought last month.

Just purchased this in hong kong for HKD 30, the shop put the wrong price, should of been HKD 50 like the rest of the colours, the price was covered with a tag stating a new item, i just took the tag off to find the price sticker for HKD 30.

so far I have seen this i 3 packaging, this will also reflect the price.

plain plastic bag

paper box with front see through.

The one I have with photo's below includes a free protector.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kms108:
updated with actual photo's.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] keekah:
So did the ones you ordered stay closed properly? I see in one of the side shots that the front wasn't closed all the way.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kms108:
photo 6 was taken with it open to show the notches, but didn't show up too well.:victory:, see the 13th photo.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] keekah:
Ah. I see. The shimmery screen doesn't effect screen clarity or viewing ability?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kms108:
yes it does, it's like an anti glare with specks of fine glitter.

and after further testing it's best to have the screen protector removed( the sticky one).

I find it very unusual that the screen is very responsive due to the thickness of the lid and the home key is little bit lower than the protector lid which does prevent acidental pressing.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] jordant2:
So do you recommend this case? It seems like you don't like it after reading the review. Also how much thickness does it add? I know tpu cases are usually minimal.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] prestonmale:
any way to translate the site to english, my chinese is terrible..:)? thanks
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kms108:
At first I didn't really like it, and the fitting was all out, may be it was a sample, but I did make a purchase of one from a local shop, and it did fit pretty well, the case isn't that thick either. The only bad thing is, if you don't like anti glare screen, this is out.

Hi All

I have a UK Galaxy S3 and would like to root and install a clean Vanilla ICS ROM.

Please can someone advise on best method of roooting and which ROM to use?

I'm being cautious as I don't want to brick my phone.

Many thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattBooth:
Do you mean Non-Touchwiz? Because I'm yet to find one that is like that.

I'm also on the look out for a Touchwiz ROM that's been themed to be blue and black like the ICS colours
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dead Cell:
Yes non touch wiz please as I hate it. Why do these stupid manufacturers spend so much money and resource to create something that is pointless. ICS already has everything anybody could want from a launcher.

I installed cm9 on my S2 and it was epic, I guess cm9 isn't out for the S3 yet?

MY problem with using non-Sammy ROM's is a lot of features get lost. I'm after a ROM/theme that's truely ICS themed but totally black and blue like most of the apps. Sammy are just teasing me, because even in stuff like the RAM and Task manager it's blue and black ICS themed but they have this ugly light blue and green battery stuff going on :(
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dead Cell:
What sort of features Kryten?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattBooth:
Well for instance in the CM9 ROM it looks like a lot of the camera features are gone. You just have dumb picks "SD, HD 720, HD1080" etc. I dunno. It was the same on my HTC Desire. I had Oxygen on there for the longest time and it was ok, but it didn't have the same functionality as the Sense ROM's (though it was much quicker and more stable which is why I kept it regardless. My GF uses it now and loves it).

I just want one that is touchwiz, but looks exactly like ICS:

This for instance:

setool can..u should be updated dude..i already made a thread about unlocking bootloaders for 11w26+...which makes this thread the same as mine..
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpyderX:
It is perfectly fair. Since there is a revamped chipset on phones manufactured past 11W28, the current bypass used will fail on such phones. the_laser provided us with a free BL unlock, however SE screwed up, hence he had to find a new bypass mechanism. He then started charging money for the unlock.

If you want your bootloader unlocked, pay for it then. the_laser makes money by selling SEtool unlock credits. Whining about it here won't change anything. In fact, we are lucky that he decided to release the initial BL unlock free of charge.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cascabel:
I agree. It's not that it's unfair for us. It's just that those with 11w28 below got a bonus (no charge). Hey, people need to make a living too.

abyss kernel is GB, for u to stay safe during the wipe. The usual procedure is to flash abyss from CWM, reboot recovery (not the device), do a full wipe and then immdiately flash a custom rom.

CM9 has a safe kernel as is compiled from source and not from Samsung kernel release as some other custom roms do....just read the dev's threads. Take into consideration that not all custom kernel works with custom roms. Make sure that u choose matching pairs!...:good:

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] thenaut:
So, out of a need for a fully functional stock ROM, I flashed andybonestock. It really is a great ROM to have access to. After the flash I'm going through the Su binary nonsense and I can't get to the bootloader for access to recovery to flash the zip that andybones supplied to get it to work. I fumbled around this phone which I've had for a year. This phone that I've flashed everything on. This phone that I've altered and customized so often. I couldn't get to the bootloader and I didn't have access to adb. Volume down + power resulted in an immediate reboot. I couldn't figure it out, until I remembered fast boot.

So what little, but important, thing have you overlooked with Android that is so simple and basic it should be second nature but literally makes you want to punch things.

Hey guys and girls.

Bought a S3 few weeks ago and problems started yesterday evening. I started KIES and it said an upgrade was available. I started download it but something happened and it failed.

I have tried reinstalling KIES and its mobile driver several times

I have rebooted the phone and computer several times.

I also factoryreseted the phone via settings

I have resetted cache/dalvik

I have tried two computers

Also restored back to an earlier backup I made in CWM

Tried different cables

Removed SIM/MicroSD

The phone charges directly when connected to the wall, charging via computer works too, sometimes after installing kies it doesnt charge at all OR is "delayed" Up to 30 seconds.

Odin doesnt recognize the phone even when in download mode.

Samsung Kies: connection problems

1 Make sure to always have the latest installed version of Kies

2 For owners of Windows Vista/Seven start Kies in administrator mode.

3 Disable any antivirus software, antispyware, or firewalls on your PC.

4 Connect your phone to your pc using the launcher by default of the Samsung (Touchwiz). Launcher alternative may not be recognized by kies. Close any programs in the background on your phone and pc.

5 Make sure that in the Settings > Wireless and network > USB Settings is selected Samsung Kies or ask the connection (only for Gingerbread).

If already selected try to choose any item and then reset one of the two mentioned.

6 Make sure that the debug mode usb is disabled

7 Try to use another USB port on your pc. Not all usb ports may not be able to deliver the power needed to power the device.

8 Restart both your phone and your pc.

9 Try to reinstall the drivers for the Galaxy. To do this open Kies, go to the Tools menu and then on install driver.

10 Try to use another usb cable.

Of course, the suggestions above are on stock firmware, without kernel modified or root permissions enabled. In this case, it is necessary to force update via odin.

mobile odin is the app version of odin and isnt used on the pc, if you go this method I would recommend pro version as you can apply root as you flash roms. If you use the free version and it doesnt cure problem you wont be able to root until u fix connection problem.
