It's about 1/4 inch thick, 3 3/4 inch from side to side, 5 3/4 inch from top to bottom.

None of those are exact. Just rough measurements with my tape measure.

My wife says this is a brick. But this brick can take a beating haha. I find its easier to grip. I'm a firm believer your not going to get the best protection from a slim case. And I can let my 19 month old daughter play with my phone without worry.

Aside from the speaker issue, everything works. All the buttons are easy to press, all the port covers and camera cover are easily accessible, both microphones to their jobs flawlessly. The screen protector is a finger print magnet but most are.

Anyone found any video reviews? I am not sure which colour choice to go with :S i wish they made a red/black one or white!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] arjunpaliath:
I have also not found any videos online... Had asked speedin07si sometime back..!!!

But my Survivor just reached today... No voice distortions or anything..

A snug and perfect fit for International Version with solid grip.

I have one and have had nothing but headaches from it. The tab to open the camera port isnt big enough to grab so I have missed pics. Two young kids pics need to be fast... and there is a maddening problem with the sensor that shuts off the screen during a call. I have to press hard on the top of the case to wake the phone back up.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] WarriorFan63:
May be a dumb question, but do you have a real one or a fake e-bay one? Does the camera port fold down or is it on a swivel?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Speedin07si:
My bad, My nice camera broke and I had to use all my money to give by daughter the Christmas she deserves.

I have a feeling you got a fake survivor.

Not sure what is going on with yours, I have no issues weigh the camera flap, pulls open and rotates out of the way.

All sensors work fine for me. If you ordered a real Griffin Technology Survivor from their site, give there customer service a call.

As you've seen here, the voice problems will come in the future. It seems that the more volume you use the worse off it gets. Almost like the little paper cover comes loose after awhile. Mine is starting to sound terrible again after pushing the paper into the holes. I may just up and remove it all together.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] arjunpaliath:
No probs speedin we all understand..

Happy new year to you btw..

I will keep an eye out for the audio problem as well.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] zaprunner:
Its from their site. The told me I could pay to send it back and they would check it out.

I ordered one from Griffin website about a week ago. I can do some video after I receive the order. I'm doing woodworking with lots of dust and I broke my Xperia Active Go screen during my work. So I think I need to have best protection to my phone :)

Couple alternatives:

My son who just turned 5 has a survivor case on his iPod and I can say that thing is tough. I have watched him throw his iPod on the concrete to show someone how tough his case is. Needless to say he got in trouble for doing it but there was not a mark on the case or iPod. The bottom flap did rip off that covers the charging port and I called Griffin and they replaced it free of charge and quickly. If you are looking for major protection ib highly recommend this case
[Galaxy S III Accessories] El Mik@:
About the voice distortion problem. I had it with my case also. I also fixed it (it's been around a month without problem).

I took the small cloth/paper piece completely off near the speaker. Then I glued it back on tightly with 2 component epoxy glue. I have had no problems after this trick.

I've been running one of these on my AT&T Galaxy S3 i747 since it was new a month ago and it's very strong and built to last. I LOVE it!

Has anybody moded the case to fit with a extended battery?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] talkingmonkeys:
http://store.griffintechnology.com/reserve-convertible-for-samsung-galaxy-s-iii

They sell one with a detachable battery pack. Thinking about paying out more to get one of these, but I don't really need the extra battery.

I've seen this case in wal mart for $30-$40. Been thinking about getting one, anyone on here have it and suggest it over the body glove tough suit or getting a lifeproof or sedio waterproof case?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] D00ky:
Bringing old topic back :)

...with bad news. Anyone had problem with this case scratching their S3? Mine got scratched while assembling. When inserted front piece with screen protector one pin on the bottom scratched my S3's frame. The result can be seen in the attachment.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] almaftoooon:
thaaaaaaaaaaaaaanks for this man :good:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tiffanypark:
This case is really ugly! I really don't like the design!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] D00ky:
It is meant to protect the phone not to make it more beautiful. Not all the S3 users work in office or attend school and some of them (i.e. construction workers, foresters, farmers) need to protect their phone. But somehow as in my case it can scratch the phone while installing/removing the case.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] fabricio1:
:D
[Galaxy S III Accessories] nosediger:
Now how could I take a photograph with this case.

I don't see any camera, flash and speaker hole...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] D00ky:
And now with the good news. Griffin is sending me another case. Hope this one will be ok. I also made warranty claim for scratch on my S3 and Samsung service replaced whole screen as chipping frame is something that happens frequently on S3 :victory:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] persian___boy:
its best idea foe samsung plastic frame;)

whats is model name of this case?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] D00ky:
Sorry but I really don't understand what you are trying to say? What samsung plastic frame? As for model name we are talking about Griffin survivor.

Hello guys, today, few hours ago updated my indian Note to 4.0.4 and now I coudn't find rusian locale in stock settings, so i downloaded some apps that change locale, but language changes only in non stock aplications. It seems that russian locale some kind blocked or even wiped out of the rom. Also russian keyboard is missing, but i know how to fix that.

Done factory reset (suddenly - not bricked), but it doesn't help. =/

So can i somehow add russian locale in it, but not by flashing stock russian ics rom?

P.S. Rooted
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baz77:
yep Its possible but I dont know how, flashing Russian was easiest lol.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Benny164:
Hi,

i think My A100 is completly bricked ..The Story:

my Tab was rooted and Unlocked TWRP was installed and running FlexReaper Rom.

1.i decided to reset my A100 completly to stock -> downloaded 014 ICS Rom and Named it update.zip

2. i want to flash this trough recovery when it searches for update.zip files but its not working (dont finding this file)

3. i flashed it in TWRP Recovery after it was done it says no OS installed but i ignored it (*facepalm*) <---I KNOW THIS WAS STUPID !

now the Tablet dont boot Android (stuck at white Acer Logo )and when trying to start revovery its says in Red Letters: Recovery verified failed ...

Bootloader is LOCKED and NOT Rooted

im able to get in Fastboot Mode but the Tablet accept only a very small amount of commads from adb.

my Question : is this Tablet ready to get back to Acer ?

i've tryed unlocking the BootLoader using the Fastboot oem unlock cmd to install the Recovery.img ,but nothing happend only the Screen blanks out for half a second.

and i tryed flash an update.zip from External SDCard but this doens't work as before the Brick.

Anyone have an Idea ? i hope you understand my English and my Problem, i'm from Germany.

:confused:
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Its not bricked, its working as intended. You did however lock yourself out. Keep doing the update.zip method, its the only way.

I have tried the update.ZIP method with my Sandisk 8GB MicroSD but its not Working ... do you have a update.ZIP for me ?

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
It may not even work without at least the stock recovery there, but I would try the 014 in vaches thread with the stock ROMs. One was decrypted and is on a drop box I think, use that one. Triple check you name it update.zip all lower case and turn off hide file extensions to check it only has 1 .zip there.

Sending it to Acer may be your only choice now.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
You'll have to pay, its user error not a hardware failure. Unless you get really lucky, half the bricks are charged for repairs because it happens on a custom rom and that IS hardware failure.

Custom ROM + Custom recovery = warranty gone

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Romman0:
I'd have to say with a borked recovery and a locked bootloader, you really can't do anything. You need at least one of them to even attempt anything besides the stock update.zip.

Thanks for your post. I'm running the exact same way. And was wondering how to go completely stock again, if need be. I think maybe flashing back to the stock recovery with zn's script, then applying the .014 stock package. I'm not brave enough to try though. I'm pretty sure a stock update will flash over an unlocked boot loader and root, no problem, but the recovery is the issue. Which your problem seems to reflect.

Since your bootloader is locked I highly doubt it will push any files. But it never hurts to try.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
That would work except two things.

1 stock a100 boot loader has no fastboot access or adb.

2 custom recovery has abd but is locked out by a100 boot loader.

Its stuck, no matter what.

The proper method to restore is simple, but tends to fail, and that's letting it run update.zip on its own.

Stock update will:

Erase cache, format system and data

Install system

Install boot loader

once booted it will flash stock recovery.

Safest method to return to stock:

Edit the stock ROM, remove bootloadr.blob from zip and updater script.

Save and re zip

Flash the stock system

Boot stock system

Root stock system

At this point you will have stock system, but a200 boot loader.

Reboot and check recovery for stock with adb reboot recovery

If its stock recovery you can then use the revert a100 bootloader script to flash back to locked a100.

Its long and annoying, but its the only way to verify each step without getting locked out.

Since he forced it in custom recovery it failed to install system but did install the bootloader, so they got stuck with a locked bootloader that cant be unlocked and a custom ROM and recovery, so locked out.

You could try a hard reset, it might kick start the stock ROM into working with the bootloader...

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Benny164:
how i do a Hard Reset ?

when i try flashing the recovery.img its says : unknown partition 'recovery.img'

error: cannot determine image filename for 'recovery.img'
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Its the one where you power on holding volume + then toggle the lock switch a few times.

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Must have recovery where fast boot is run from.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Benny164:
hard reset works but adb fails : C:\Users\Benny>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

error: cannot load 'recovery.img'
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Well for one, recovery.img must be in the same folder, and that files name used in the command.

Second, fast boot doesn't work on a100 bootloader as I already mentioned.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Benny164:

Does adb work? Not fast boot but adb. Try adb devices

i happened to find this while just looking online although it seems like there are arguments against it and for it accross the table... im neutral as id much rather have an unlocked bootloader i am simply just posting this so everyone can see it and maybe share something to prove or disprove

http://www.gottabemobile.com/2012/07/16/verizon-wont-unlock-galaxy-s-iii-bootloader/

this says they wont release an update to unlock the s3 :( :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lazarus2405:
Verizon never made any sort of promise that they would unlock the bootloader. The rumor got started a month ago from transcripts of chats with ill-informed customer service reps who didn't know a bootloader from a barnacle. They chose to lock it, and they will not willingly reverse that decision. When our bootloader gets unlocked, it will be through the fine efforts of communities like this one. Depending on the type of exploit, I might not be surprised if Verizon then pushes an update to relock the bootloader, as has happened with some HTC phones in the past.

In general, never take the word of a CSR without a fair bit of skepticism, especially if it conflicts with VZW's official statements.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] niv3d:
Correct me if I'm wrong but once and if the bootloader is unlocked we can just stay on that bootloader (unlocked) even if verizon does try to re-lock it correct? In a sense similar to s-off
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] aety9:
IMO - Its just safe practace not to take any OTA updates until after the Devs got them fixed. Verizon could patch their own bootloader if they needed to - via an OTA. So, yes, you could stay unlocked (once it is unlocked anyway), so long as you stay away from OTAs .
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] beeholtz:
i have a thunderbolt and in 9 days when i have an upgrade available on my account will be getting the s3. on my thunderbolt after i rooted i never even had to block updates i just straight up never got ota updates. is there a setting in the s3 that ill need to check or uncheck a box to not receive them after i root?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
why are so many folks concerned about ota updates? The day one roots his/her phone OTA should be forgotten. The devs here will have all the updates we can possibly achieve and in alot more timely fashion.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TheDiabolicaL1:
**** yeah!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] beeholtz:
if you actually took the time to read my post you would have noticed that i asked if there is a way to NOT RECEIVE OTA UPDATES as opposed to asking about receiving them. i will post that question in q and a when i get the phone thanks anyways
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
I did read your post...my apologies since that post was not 100% directed towards you...I kind of hijacked your thread posting that for others to read lol. There has been 100 threads on here about "will I lose ota if I root".
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ruben8448:
A big cellphone company lied to us? It can't be. Haha sorry for the sarcasm but the way this phone has been going I think an unlock will come through the developers over the big companies. That means we'll have to pay up on that bounty.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] beeholtz:
ya my bad too i didnt mean to be a **** about it. i had some ahole customer i dont like helping come up today. fixing their computers and network just makes about anything else sound like more fun. im just stoked to get the phone soon but i also am getting it knowing about having a locked bootloader and the possibility of all those little quirks and issues that some people have and some dont. On my thunderbolt i rooted it not long after i got it and have flashed roms and kernels and radios etc until i find one i really like at the time. I'm figuring once the dev. edition comes out people will get it and verizon will then do the same thing on the next big deal phone that comes out in however many months.

I swear at this point, they're just sitting back in their chairs and cackling madly. Biggest trolls ever.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TechSavvy2:
I think the "ota" talk only references people who are stock and take ota, get said-bootloader "fixed" by vzw, then want to mod afterwards. Then a new/different method will have to be used, whether it be Odin/rollback/whatever is come up with.

People already unlocked and rooted will be fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cyrus41592:
I can't say i'm terribly surprised, Verizon seems content to violate whatever they want for their benefit. Just need to put the pressure to them.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] drbveb88:
I am not even concerned about the boot loader anymore. You can flash kernels with kexec cwm(6010), Odin new modems and the roms that synergy, bean and Nos are producing are just fantastic. Developers will find a way and there are some great ones on the SG3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] azbobs:

Doubt verizon will unlock the bootloader

anytime soon. For now we are left to

root use custom stock roms with some

themes or leave Verizon.

This is simply not true...there is plenty of aosp dev going on! we have 4 cm10 roms, 1 aokp jb rom, 1 paranoidandroid rom...the bugs these roms do have are not related to the locked bootloader. Its the same issues across multiple devices. 5min of research would of yielded these results...

Off topic, but is the volume really this quiet on this phone? I came from the OG like 2 weeks ago and it was literally double the decibels that this thing is putting out.

I should have chosen my words better. They have the potential to. And it's definitely happened more than once or twice. The imei thing seems to be recoverable but the permanent data loss has no known fix but to exchange the phone one it happens. And only happens after an aosp Rom is flashed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wera750:
You shouldn't talk about stuff you don't know. The imei issue is spread across multiple carriers.

I personally test for bmc, imo, and Dhacker. Some days I flash 5+ different aosp builds. I HAVE NEVER LOST MY IMEI OR PERMANENTLY LOST DATA. I have temporarily lost data but it was nothing the phone info app from the play store couldn't fix in a couple seconds. And those instances were long ago.
