[Galaxy S III Accessories] Div033:
Thanks for the heads up, just ordered one!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Badelhas:
Guys, please give us your feedback on the case when it gets there. ;)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Badelhas:
Anybody ordered the new samsung original protective Cover plus in dark blue? Does the color really match the pebble blue phone?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Div033:
Just received my white one, and aesthetically speaking, this is the best case available for the white GS3. It is very striking. I'll do a very brief, early review for now:

The case is a combination of hard plastic for the white back and matted TPU for the gray sides. What's hard to see from the pictures is the texturized plastic on the back. This gives it more grippiness and makes it less likely to slip from your hands. The matted TPU on the sides is the slippiest part of the case, which holds minor concern. My old diztronic had glossy, easily gripped sides with a slippery matte back, almost the direct opposite of this official Samsung cover. In time I'll be able to determine which company had the right idea.

This case is absolutely beautiful and stays true to the design of the GS3. If someone saw me using this, they might think I'm not using a case at all. It is very low profile but still provides ample protection. The lip of the case does protrude on the front, making it safe to set screen-down on surfaces. The lip protrusion differs per side; it seems to protrude more on the top and bottom than it does on the left/right sides. It is important to note that the protrusion on the left/right sides does seem rather shallow, but this lends to the case's low profile. This case stretches ever-so-slightly near the power button and volume rocker, barely exposing the shiny trim on the phone where its not otherwise present. This isn't a huge issue, but may be for some perfectionists.

One major area of concern is the power button. It is extremely easy to activate with this case on and I would not be surprised if it activated in my pocket. Even pressing in the lip part of the case near the power button will trigger it. However, I feel this problem isn't as bad as a stiff/hard to press power button. I suspect after minor modification the button can perform as expected.

There are too many good things about this case for me not to be recommending it. I have been searching for a case to go with my white GS3 ever since it came out and I now feel that search is over. After some time of using it I'll update my review or start a new thread. I'll post some pictures here in a bit.

Pros:

- Best looking case I've seen for a white GS3

- Offers good protection around the entire device along with a front lip

- Texturized back makes it easier to grip

Cons:

- Power button is too easily activated

- Front lip may be to shallow for some
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Badelhas:
Thanks for the also detailed review. I just ordered the dark blue one, I hope it matches the pebble blue phone. I have a black acase supperlegera pro case, with dual layer, and while providing much protection, it doesn't look to match the phone.

Can you please post some pictures?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ricktat:
I got mine today also. Same comments as above.

If you like a TPU case then you will really like this. I have plenty of thick cases and wanted a thin one that looked great. It's defintely a case that will help scratches and not drops. All thin cases are the same in this area. This one just looks the best.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Div033:
I used a TPU case for quite some time and I felt it helped immensely when dropped. I even casually tossed my device onto concrete to show my friend that a TPU case is plenty for drop protection.

I feel like this case integrates better with the device but has slightly less impact absorption and drop protection. Its a trade-off for sure, but I find this is the best balance between protection and aesthetics. Samsung also makes an ultra thin case which is what I like to call a 'condom-case' which will only protect against scratches without any impact absorption. This case does offer substantially more drop protection than those, but still slightly less than a diztronic TPU case.

Also, I suck at taking pictures. I'm still trying to get some good shots to upload!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] 1ManWolfePack:
I have 4 "condom cases" (great name and accurate, BTW) and they do offer a tad bit of impact protection. I've got out of my car multiple times forgetting my phone on my lap. It bounces off a black top driveway. Also dropped it from about 5 feet high onto concrete. Scratches the hell out of the case (looks like a dog chew toy) but phone is perfect.

I'm buying this in white :) been eyeing it for awhile. Didn't realize the back was plastic until this thread.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Badelhas:
I have a TPU case, the boxwave duosuit, along with the acase supperlegera pro that I am using now but I prefer the acase dual layer one, it does add much more bulk but I believe I am much more protected in case of a fall (wwhich happened once, with no damage done). I ordered this one because it's blue, much more good looking. Let's hope I still feel protected.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] krafft:
Just got this yesterday, and I was very impressed!! I couldn't agree more with the reviews above. It keeps an identical looks and feel to the phone. It is still easy to hold. Provides great protection all around. I've bought 7 cases for this phone and this is by far te best! I don't think I'll ever take it off. Definitely recommend it to everyone. And plus, it's a great price. After registering your phone to Samsung and using the coupon they give you, the case is 15 bucks.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Badelhas:
Which color is your case and phone and what are the other 7 cases you have?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] krafft:
White phone white case...it looks great ;)

The other cases I have:

Samsung official flip case

Samsung official protective gel case

Samsung official ultra slim case

UGA case

Spigen ultra bumper

Incipio featherlight case

ZooGue tpu case
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Badelhas:
Damm, you have some good cases. Can you please post some pictures of your new white case?

By the way, is there anyone here with the blue phone and this original samsung Protective Cover plus that can post some pictures please? Does the color really match the pebble blue color, since it's made by samsung?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] 1ManWolfePack:
It does not. I have a blue back and it makes it look greyish-whitish with the clear cover and a different blue with the blue one.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Badelhas:
Thanks :(

Would it be too much to ask you to share some photos, please ?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] 1ManWolfePack:
I'm working right now. Check the "Show off your cases thread" right above this one. Some guy posted pics of the case on a blue s3. It's only a page or two back...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jayrod88:
Also want to see this case on a white S3... Looks nice. I also have a few cases. Rock case, Ringke slim, UAG in white, seidio case, otterbox commuter. Way too many (ha ha).

Can't someone please post some pics of the blue case?

So I've ordered this case and it has shipped 4 days ago via USPS but tracking still shows nothing. Hope it's a delay and didn't get lost. I should've paid for faster shipping, ha ha.

will the phone with Samsung extended battery fit on this case?

many thanks

I don't think so, it's really well-fitting. Maybe if you use it w/o back panel..

I have whit version of cover+ since yesterday :)

[Galaxy S III Accessories] spicydicy:
hey guys, great info so far regarding the case, and some great photos too.

my only question is regarding the tpu lip around the edge of the screen. does anyone have a screen protector that goes to the edge of the screnn, like the spigen curved crystal? im just wondering if the edges of the case might end up pushing the protector up from the phone itself.

thanks ahead of time for any help you can provide!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Badelhas:
It's a pity, that's the only thing stopping me from using an extended battery... I bought an Anker 4400mAh but the cases available suck big time.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] 1slow4G:
I think u will have issues with a full coverage protector. The lip is along the edge, just barely. Doubt the lip will overlap the SP.

Sent from my Galaxy S3 using neighbors wifi :P
[Galaxy S III Accessories] spicydicy:
Thank you very much for the info.

As of right now I have a spigen Modello on the phone and it doesn't seem to cause an issue, but the lip of the case only just closes over the grey/silver ring that can be seen on the front of the phone. Look very close to what this case is like.

If i can find a retailer or site that ships to Canada I'll give it a try and see.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] zmagas1:
No issues with full coverage SP. I use this case with Realook 3D full screen protector, it fits just perfect.

ordering from .COM bumped the cost to $45 bucks! I can't find it on .CA
[Galaxy S III Accessories] spicydicy:
Yeah I couldn't find it on ca, I went through com.

I figure the shipping is just a few stops at Starbucks anyways, for the case I really want, it's worth it.

I like my case+, but I don't need a ton of protection and wanted a slim case. It also works well with the spigen curved crystal screen protector.

If you need more protection, the uag, the commuter, or the dba ultra are great choices.

Hi all! I have bought Nexus 7 32g wifi (SN: CAOK) 9 days ago. I noticed an unregular battery usage... I made about 3,5h with display on and I've read on the web that I should do at least 6h with display on. It 'a manufacturing defect?

I attach some screens of battery stats

look your opinions, thank you!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] candyeve:
Looks about right to me. You have to factor in I that you also have about 1 day of standby time and you were playing some games.

Try tinkering with your sync settings and WiFi settings and you may get a little more battery.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaNFr3:
As some people to get 2 days of standby and 6h of display on in same charge? I've seen it on many screens on xda and other forums maybe they are using a custom roms? I actually mount stock 4.2.1.

What do you mean with wi fi settings?

Thanks
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timfimjim:
I have had awful battery life on 4.2.1. Its meant to give you 6-7 hours of screen time but I've had no more than 2. Really annoying and I'm sure I didn't get this on 4.1.2
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaNFr3:
So you have this problem too

I think so too It's a 4.2.1 issue, but I wouldn't install any custom room cause if it's an hw problem I can't back N7 with warranty...
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] candyeve:
Wi-Fi settings...

Make sure Wi-Fi gets turned off when threes screen is off

My 4.2.1 gets better battery than you but I've also made sure I've read all the " battery" threads and tweaked my tablet the way others have recommended.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaNFr3:
Ok, but this goes against my need to receive push notifications. So I can say that those who make six hours of screen on is because they has not the wifi always on?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] comscier:
I get around 10hrs of battery life (total actual usage)... with 2 days on standby

but i usually disable sync, only sync when needed. (make use of those widgets)

Avoid fancy widget, use stock widget if possible.

In battery settings, wifi off when it sleeps.

If you are using google currents, you have to disable auto sync, as it use up battery real fast.

And avoid push notification...

Push is the real killer, it requires wifi to be constantly on.

Hi Recently purchased a tablet for which I am not able to find any custom ROM. The configuration is as follows .

processor - 1.2 Ghz Cortex A8 Dual Mali 400 2D/3D core

The model of tablet is Micromax funbook Infinity p275. I have gained the root access for the tablet but cannot find any custom ROM for it .Is there any ROM for a device that will work o this device too?

I ran the application "android system info" on the device and found the following information

CPU-ARMv7 Processor rev 2(v71)

build info-

CPU ABI-armeabi-v7a

The tablet does not have any volume rocker keys.It only have home and power keys in it and a reset button hole.

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] SXUsr:
This is why I would have found out if there was support here on XDA first before purchasing. I don't understand why People buy cheap or uncommon devices then come here asking for things like ROMs or rooting.
[General Questions and Answers] ilielucianno:
because not everybody have money like you to afford the tablet they wish for, and I think that's the forum for, to ask help, nobody hit your had, and nobody will, if you won't help, so stop with those noob answers.
[General Questions and Answers] Pennycake:
You can always buy a used tablet that *used to* be popular and thus has development from when it was or might still have some going on.

I would not buy such a tablet unless I planned on playing it to try to make a ROM myself - if it was even possible.

You can get a decent Android tablet with decent amounts of development for like, $100 new so I don't think it's asking that much when it comes to buying a "gadget" that's not necessary.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aiserukana:
Hi all, i got my Galaxy S2 about a year ago (9100 normal, non AT&T or verizon or another else ) and i never encountered problem like this. One day i was texting on the toilet, and unfortunately it fell down on a bowl of water and its all soaked. I just turn it of and take out the battery, when i turn on it again, the start mode triggers, the icon Samsung igt 9100 is showing up and it keeps blinking and blinking, bootlooping. many of my friend said that it is fine and just wait for the water inside the machine to dry up, like one week or so. but after one day i tried to turn it on, the yellow triangle below the 9100 logo is gone ( i think its resetted and everything is gone ) and it went to download mode. But after that, i was not careful enough and my battery fell off, and the phone is turned off dead. and after all of that, i can't even turn on the phone, nothing happened, its like a dead phone without battery.

i went to many forums and many people tried to fix it using the download mode USB jig recovery kit, i bought the i9100 USB jig on the eBay, its arrived today. I tried to plug in on my phone, and i try to turn it on and even every boot method ( download mode, and recovery mode ) and holding the power, still nothing happens. what should i do...?? does that means my cellphone is dead forever? :crying::crying:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cenobite_:
You should have put it in a bowl of dry rice for a couple of days to completely dry it out. I think you turned on your phone too soon with the risk of having it f**cked for good.
