I bought this same setup from Best Buy but is wasn't labeled as Seidio on the back. I don't have it in front of me at the moment since I replaced it with a Commuter. The case is nice but to thin for me, I fear dropping it from any height since it is slim.

In regard to taking it off I found that if you put you fingers where case opens for the power and volume button and press down on the back it comes off very easily.

This case works great with the Samsung desktop dock.

from my AOKP galaxy s3
[Galaxy S III Accessories] elracing21:
That dock looks nice. Have you tested the nfc with the case? I'm waiting on my nfc stickers to come in the mail to test it.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Neverendingxsin:
I have the same case, excellent review by the way :) Good to know it works with the dock. As far as NFC goes, i was able to easily use S-beam which is powered by nfc, so i would assume the stickers would work as well.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] werked:
I had this case on my HTC inspire and really liked it....had to switch to the defender after breaking my holster clip while climbing in the attic. Sad day lol. It's a solid case I never had problems with it but....my buddy couldn't get hers to stay together had to exchange a couple times.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] elracing21:
Thanks, I just received my nfc tag stickers from tagstand.com and can confirm nfc is unaffected by the case :D

I seriously recommend this case to all.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] elosogrande7076:
Thanks for the review. Like someone else said, I have the version of this case that they sell at Best Buy. I love the case and have been using it for my BB, Evo and now my S3. It was the first case, that I looked for when I got my S3. I am looking at getting an Otterbox only because I broke my OG Evo's screen when it dropped (mine you the phone was almost two years old and had been dropped before), I just dont want that to happen to my S3.

Thanks also for telling us that it fits in the dock from Samsung. Does the one that you posted pictures with also charge the battery (i know it charges the phone but not sure if it charges a second battery as well). I bought the dock from Sprint that allows you to charge a second battery (doesnt charge the phone at all, only the battery). I can tell you that with that case, it does not fit on that dock (it barely fits in landscape mode but you can clearly see that its not meant to have that type of case).

Thanks again for the review.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mikesdot:
I have the same exact case with the holster... and I must say my friend... your review is quite correct in all aspects... and I will second that it is indeed a very sexy addition to my SGS3
[Galaxy S III Accessories] TWO515TY:
I too will co-sign this brand of cases. I have one on my Epic 4G, my girl's Epic 4G, and my EVO 3D. The case and holster combo available from Best Buy is decently priced ($30-$40) and they protect the phone well while adding minimal thickness and weight. I know my Surface Case has saved my EVO 3D from quite a few nicks and scratches.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] elracing21:
You're welcome guys.

I've been rocking the case since this post and still have no complaints. This has been a nice investment for me. I no longer fear of putting my phone down on my work desk either face up or down and if my boss comes I I don't mind throwing the phone in my desk either. Win win!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] saj222:
I have some questions about this case hopefully you guys can help me with.

Can anyone comment on how slippery this case is and compare it to the slipperyness of a naked S3?

For those of you with the holster, does it hold the phone and surface securely?

Thanks everyone.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Neverendingxsin:
I feel that it adds a little more grip to the phone, at least i think it does. I found the phone to be too slippery when naked.

And yes it does hold it securely :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] elracing21:
Without the case my galaxy would slide across my wooden desk. The same desk you see in the last picture I posted. With the case it no longer slides. It barely moves when I try to push it across so yes it does add some grip.

Hope this helps :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jkbane:
This is a pretty good case. I did a review on the convert combo case over at banetech.WordPress.com check it out if you want to see video action for the case. The convert combo case includes the surface case as the set and has the option of adding more protection that ends up looking something like the Otterbox Commuter Case but seems more protected like the Defender series.

But yeah I was struggling a lot with getting the surface case off. I ended up taking a thin blade to the middle to wedge the case apart. After that time though it wasn't as hard to get off. But that assures the case will not come apart if dropped.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] rodger-sp:
Yes i added the android sticker just do a Google search for android stickers . Com.

from my AOKP galaxy s3
[Galaxy S III Accessories] elracing21:
I believe androidswag.com has stickers like that.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ipaq_101:
I have the same surface case in black, below are my observations:

1) If you are using a screen protector (I use bestskinsever.com) beware, the case fits so snugly it rips the screen protector off as you slide it on.

There is a way around this:

First, let the screen protector set for a while before slipping on the case, a day or two.

Second, I removed the suede material, its very thin as it is, but this helped me fit the phone perfectly as I used the full body kit skin film on the front and back of the phone. The suede material is so thin, I highly doubt it offers any impact protection, I think its there to prevent the back of the seidio case rubbing and scratching the back plastic cover, but if you use a full body skin it doesn't matter.

2) It is a ***** to get the case open the first few times, but after a while it does get easier to open, I guess it needs to be broken in a bit, but that doesn't mean it rattles or anything, it still very snug.

3) This is a very good case, I really like it. It is minimal, covers the phone well (including the bezel on the screen) and has great grip.

4) I have had it for about 2 weeks now and the finish is staying on and hasn't started to peel off, which was a concern of mine.

5) It also hasn't scratched so far and is very easy to clean.

6) Overall I recommend it, but jut beware if you are using screen protectors, follow what I did and you should be fine either way.

Hope it helps!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] elracing21:
Thanks for those tips. I'm currently still debating getting a screen protector. I have an issue with how screen protectors look and feel to me. I've been carrying around a microfiber cloth with me and it's been keeping my screen crystal clean. I know sooner or later a hair scratch will come so I have to decide what to do fast. At least I know I can make it fit.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ipaq_101:
I use the below:

http://www.bestskinsever.com/samsung-galaxy-s3-skin

Zagg and all the other ones I have used are crap in my opinion and cost a lot more. My friend looked at my phone and he couldn't even tell I had a screen protector on.

I am very careful about putting it on, but it looks great when you do. The tip I found is to apply the screen protector in the bathroom. Get your bathroom steamy and close the door, the steam pushes all the dust particles to the floor so you get a much better particle free install. They actually suggest this on their site.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] elracing21:
Do you have the surface case? Do you think that will fit right with the case without it coming off?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] TheWeasl:
any chance to get to know where to get it? me lives in germany :D

I am Weasel

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~-

and you've been SPANK'd by a S3
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ipaq_101:
Yes I have the surface case and I am using the full body kit from bestskinsever, be sure to let the protector set for two days.

Make sure you peel of the suede black stuff inside the cover (carefully) and get rid of the sticky stuff, quite easy to do.

I bought it from this guy on ebay, quick ship:

[Galaxy S III Accessories] luland:
I just got my phone yesterday and put this case on. I like it so far. I'm coming from a DROID incredible that had a seidio active case. It made me mad trying to get it out of a jeans pocket. The soft rubber corners stuck to them well.

I'm still getting used to holding a phone this size and it's too hot for jeans right now so I hope my theory with this case works out. I'm still contemplating whether to get a more heavy duty one.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] saj222:
Not sure if you know but Seidio makes something called the Convert Add-on Kit that will add more protection to the Surface.

http://www.seidioonline.com/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-convert-add-on-kit-black-p/bd2-hk4ssgs3.htm
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Kostazu:
Just got my Seidio on Friday. Like the look, like the texture, adds some nice grip (reminds me of the texture of the mophie I had on my iphone)

But yeah, it's a ***** and half to get it off. Struggled with it all yesterday with no luck, finally read a tip about how to get it off late last night that works: use a credit card. Peel up the top piece side-edge just a little, slide a credit card in, and it'll pop right off.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ipaq_101:
It will get much easier after a few times, you just have to apply pressure to the back of the case towards the middle with your thumb.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] skinnytoo2:
I always get the seidio cases with the holster for all my devices. I find they offer the best protection with the thinnest case. Best buy has the Pt branded seidio cases. Exact same and sometimes cheaper when they are on sale.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] lviv73:
How is the screen on your OneS compared to S3?

I just want to know because so many people say that OneS and OneX have better screen but i dont believe them.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] 1slow4G:
Loving my black platinum series. The holster is great and easy access.

Sent from my Galaxy S3 using neighbors wifi :P
[Galaxy S III Accessories] AceKingNYC:
I have the PT brand from Best Buy and sport it in conjunction with the T-Mobile store brand screen protectors and it works great. The TMO screen cover doesnt go edge to edge so it doesnt interfere with the case.

Also, the case is fairly easy to take off - think of the little grooves in the back as an arrow pointing to the spot directly under the last shortest groove as the sweet spot to press to release the cases.

This is my 3rd PT/Seidio case on a phone - they've all been great.

just wish they would make a car dock like they did for the EVO 3D. It was GREAT

[Kindle Fire General] Kamakookie:
My Kindle Fire is stuck in the TWRP boot loop with the blue and white kindle fire logo. So far I haven't been able to mount or wipe the SD card, and there is not zip file loaded onto the Kindle that I can use to restore it. I haven't been able to try adb because the Kindle does not show up under the devices when I go through the command prompt steps. I can wipe everything else and get it to boot into the Fastboot? screen (the kindle fire logo is orange and white), but my computer doesn't recognize it from that screen. Both of my computers will only recognize it as Android ADB Interface when I hit the power button to enter the boot screen. Once it leaves the boot screen it disappears from the device manager.

The kindle fire utility reads:

ADB status: Offline

Boot Status: Unknown.

When using the twrp, anything that involves writing to or wiping the sd card receives this error E:failed to mount /sdcard (invalid argument)

I am about to order the factory cable, but first... does anyone know if the cable will even help if the SD card is inacessable? Any other suggestions? Or should I begin using my Kindle as a coaster?
[Kindle Fire General] rbeavers:
If you have the newest 1.4a I think you shouldn't need the factory cable. That said, I use it most of the time because it makes it so easy.

Sounds like your USB drivers are messed up.
[Kindle Fire General] rbeavers:
Did you get your cable?

Any Luck with your Fire?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinnedone:
Well I was wondering since the EVO3D's official ics port has finally landed would this be something easier to port and have fully functional compared to all the other CM9/CM10 ICS/JB roms? (Its only 300mb in size) When i say fully functional I mean everything including cameras and wimax.

Also Did anyone notice this article on the main page?http://www.xda-developers.com/android/htc-8mp-cameras-by-omnivision-use-universal-drivers/

Supposedly taking the ics camera drivers from the Sensation XL (or HD I guess) being it uses the same hardware as the EVO4G could get us a fully functional ics camera/camcorder?

It might be alot harder than what im making it seem, but was wondering if those who are in the "know" could enlighten me. :D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bennyboy78:
I doubt it. One prob is the e3d is 5 mp while the EVO is 8. Idk bout other phones but maybe one with 8 will be possible. But I don't think ffc is the same camera, or is it? Idk
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinnedone:
Has anyone tried the camera drivers from the sensation or the sensation XL?

The FCC might be the same as well being they used a 1.3mp camera and it has an official ics sense update.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d.linh9:
Hi everybody, I'm a vietnamese. I never used a android phone before.

I see in StreakMod recovery:

+ Wipe Dalvik cache.

+ Wipe Cache partition.

+ Fix permissions.

+ Wipe data/Factory reset (not sure)

I usually do it (in order) whenever i flash a recovery or install a rom. But i don't know:

1. Must I do that?

2. When should I do that, after or before finishing a "factory reset"?

3. After I do a "factory reset", must I do it again?

Sorry about my bad English. :)
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tsaxmafia:
Usually if you are installing a custom ROM it will tell you whether or not you need to do a wipe of the Dalvik cache. Always Factory reset before installing a new ROM unless otherwise noted. Wiping the Cache and/or a factory reset after installing a ROM can usually fix most FC issues and issues adding accounts on a Streak

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] monstaX:
So I need a tester for a remap and adding on screen buttons mod I have. I have a sprint s 3 so I would be doing this blindly. You must be on latest 07/30/12 cm10 build. I believe its a great mod and say thanks to Marcismo55 for asking me to make it for the VZW S3. 1 or 2 people would be great. I'm starting on it right now. My internet is down though so I'm not sure yet how I will get it to you but we will figure something out. And don't worry. This won't mess up your phone. Marcismo55 actually tried a sprint zip I had made and it worked
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Marcismo55:
I'm in!

I cannot recall if I flashed the version with the home button remap but everything else did seem to work fine.

Edit: Looks and works great! The camera/home button remap works awesome! Thank you!

You can also long press/drag the virtual home button to access Google Now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rihc55:
Hey all --

Is there an easy to way to toggle LTE? II'd like to have a quick option to choose LTE but not to leave it on all of the time since my battery dies like 3x as fast.

I know there's the menu option that is like four menus in and requires a reboot.

SETTINGS --> MORE SETTINGS --> MOBILE NETWORKS --> NETWORK MODE

I'm hoping there's a better way.

Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tdwp16:
I'm sure someone will eventually add it to our toggles
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Thoragh:
As tdwp16 mentioned hopefully someone will add the toggle in. As of right now there is no easy way. That appears to be the ONLY way at the moment :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jdelano:
Have you tried

SWITCHIT - 4G LTE TOGGLE

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...1bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5icm93bmVudC5zd2l0Y2hpdCJd
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Thoragh:
I will have to give that a shot. I have it installed on my SGS3 which is still unrooted at the moment. It at least has not Force Closed on me (like some of the reviewers complained about), but I have yet to find 4G. This is probably just do to the northern part of my area where I live missing coverage in quite a few spots.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freeza:
I've decided to give this a shot. However, LTE is not available in my area so I will have no idea if it even works....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Bukem75:
Something like the old toggle for wimax 4g on the pull down menu would be most excellent... I have high hopes now that you are on the case, freeza
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rihc55:
i'll give it a shot and report back. thanks for the suggestion!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freeza:
I have every reason that it can be accomplished natively through the settings menu.

Because, if you dial ##3282# and you go through the menus (i forgot the exact one), but it allows you to switch between different modes, LTE being one of them, on the fly without the need to reboot. So I guess all I have to do is remove the reboot option from settings and it should switch the same way that it does in the ##3282# menu.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MikeyLee:
The app noted in this thread worked for me as far as taking me to the settings but it doesnt work like a toggle does. That being said there is no LTE here in Phoenix yet so I'm screwed either way LOL We have some regular spots of 4g but I dont believe this phone works on regular 4g, unless I'm wrong??? Anyone know?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nicholaaaas:
No!! All your developmental resources are to be put into force roaming!!! I'm kidding... kinda
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rihc55:
it works! its definitely faster than having to reboot my phone after changing it through the settings menu. i hope someone comes up with a widget sometime because that'd be incredibly useful!

thanks for your suggestion
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jdelano:
You're welcome; I'd love to be able to use LTE - I am hoping Sprint will have better coverage in the Atlanta area soon.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Thoragh:
Yea, I am having the same issue in the northern part of Dallas. LTE is not very good here yet either for Sprint, but hopefully if they sell enough phones and get enough complaints they will break out more towers faster.

Actually I have since uninstalled the App and since then I have not been able to locate LTE at all. I tried putting it back on in an area that I had previously attained 4G and still no go. I hope that Switch It did not mess with my antenna or some such. Just wanted to put the warning out there.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] motomoose68:
LTE Toggle

I don't have the SGSIII yet, since Sprint has not launched yet in my area, but I had a couple of questions.

Sounds like you are pretty knowledgeable, thanks for the info. When looking at the phone, I was surprised to see and didn't know the reason for the reboot when turning on LTE. Do you know the reason for the reboot? Is it anything logical or necessary?

I would hope that this will be something Dev's start building into their roms, unless of course there is a legitimate reason for the reboot.

Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] boomerbubba:
The problem with that method -- which also requires your MSL code -- is that if you use it to select LTE, it forces the handset to LTE only without 1x or EVDO. They are mutually exclusive.

This can be used to bypass the normal settings that automatically upshift and downshift between LTE and CDMA data as a threshold function of signal strength, to force LTE. But it has the side effect of killing the voice/text connectivity.
[Motorola Atrix HD] hotrod010:
i was wondering if anyone have att laptop dock for atrix 4g( its cheaper to buy compared to lapdock 100 or 500) and if hdmi mirroring works with atrix hd!! i know atrix HD doesnt support webtop but hdmi mirroring on a 11 inch screen will be nice... it can serve as a netbook for me while i am at coffee house or other local areas!! any info would be nice!! :p
[Motorola Atrix HD] kulow:
The port configuration on the Atrix HD is slightly different than the port configuration on the Atrix 4G. So the only way to make the Atrix 4G lapdock work with the HD is with adapter cables to extend the ports enough to connect them properly.

I have tested and verified that the Atrix HD does do HDMI mirroring on the lapdock 500 so I would assume it would work on the 100 as well. For pictures: http://wiki.jkulow.com/index.php/Motorola_Atrix_HD
[Motorola Atrix HD] sammy12oz:
I bought the original Lapdock for my Atrix 4g. When I upgraded to the Atrix 2 I modified the dock on the lapdock to accomodate it and it worked well.

I now have the Atrix HD and dispite it looking like it's doing a handstand it works well in the dock. I did not have to motify the dock for it to fit as the port layout is the same as the Atrix 2 but on the top as apposed to the side.

Hope that helps
[Motorola Atrix HD] hotrod010:
Thanks for the input guys!!!
[Motorola Atrix HD] sblees:
How did you modify the lapdock? I noticed it is around 60 bucks on Amazon, so if it is an easy modification i might consider ordering one.

Does anyone know how the Date/Time slider dials work on our Optimus 3D?
