After reading the mixed reviews on signal drops and yadayada I still couldn't resist, ordered a black one for my s3 sh*t just looks too damn sexy to pass up haha
[Galaxy S III Accessories] saf100792:
Mine came today finally. Love the look and feel of it. Feels really high quality. Signal loss for me wasn't bad actually. Tested side by side to my girlfriends S3 and the numbers weren't much different
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Currupt247:
haha thats awesome
[Galaxy S III Accessories] arzine:
Omg cool !! Anyone knows where to buy it?

I just received mine, I'll upload some pictures a bit later this afternoon. I got it in Silver sides/Black back. My phone was blue, however I changed the front glass on it after I broke it, to black.

My first impression is wow!! The case fits amazingly well. The small pieces of rubber lining the inside of the case fit the phone perfectly. The screen-case gap around the front of the phone is non-existent. The weight is perfect, much less than other bumpers I've used. The feel of the phone in the hand is great. It feels very sturdy. The only very minor complaint I have is that the power button on the side is a little harder to press. This doesn't take anything away from this case. The phone is easier to grip in the hand than most other bumpers, and looks amazing. I just hope the photos I upload later will do it justice!!

FYI. I purchased it from yoybuy, cost $27 + $20 shipping via DHL. There were other cheaper shipping options, however I wanted the case fast. It arrived 2 days after submitting shipping method and payment.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] chrischoi:
Anyone here get one and don't want their's anymore? Message me.

I saw some of them had etching on the back. Were you able to choose if it had the name etching or not?

Can you post the link you used?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Lucmuzz:
http://www.yoybuy.com/en/Show/22199940536 That's the one I purchased. Sorry haven't done photos yet, but will shortly. I didn't have an option for the etching, and I don't think there is one unfortunately.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jazz995756:
Anyone got an extra one they can spare I don't have a credit card and no one will loan me one :(
[Galaxy S III Accessories] chrischoi:
I don't want etching because it lists an international model number. So you don't think yours has it? Picture shows it etched in the back. Gotta find one without.

Hopefully their English will be ok. I'll just email them.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] elreaver:
I got mine this past weekend, all silver from OfferAny. Took over 30 days to arrive, but there was that delay from the Chinese holiday.

Anyway, having no noticeable signal loss, and wifi speeds are the same.

I do have an issue with a slight bulge in the middle when the phone is in the case. Anyone else experience this too?

I know the phone is pushed all the way into the front and it's snug, but when snapping on the back the middle bulges out about 1cm.

Based on the pictures provided by everyone the back is flat - not on mine.

Edit:

Just found out... apparently the back of the S3 needs to be removed. The case replaces the stock back plate. Good to know!

Found it On Ebay for $19 w/ Free Shipping!

So, I found this case on XDA a few days ago, and after some searching on eBay, I found a seller who sells it for $18.69 with free shipping. I ordered one yesterday and it shipped the same day. They have great reviews, and they have sold over 500 of the cases, so people must like the case and seller.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] SDJB:
Lol... I spoke to the guy and he said he will be getting more of the other colors within 3 to 4 days.

He said, if we get a group buy of 10-20 ppl the price would drop to $9.50 ± shipping. Not bad.

What do you guys think?

Sent from my SGH-T999
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kms108:
You need to confirm with the seller, will all 20 pieces be shipped direct to you, or will the seller ship to individual buyer, and confirm with the shipping cost before hand.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] danvee:
Not for nothing, but, for a 20 quantity, they should be able to do it for that price - shipped- via Express, as 20 of them would ship for little more than 1 (not a major increase in weight given the materials) , and they're seemingly all going to the same place.

Just a point of negotiation. They're probably costing less than a couple of $$ to produce.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SDJB:
I will have to confirm that but I was thinking along the lines of negotiating a time Window when he can lower the price and we all buy go and buy the case.

Let's say 7 to 8 pm eastern time the price will drop.

What other way would we do it? I don't want to get them all at my place and have to mail them out to all.

Sent from my SGH-T999
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kms108:
it seems like the seller will send it all to you, if he sends to all 20 buyer, there is no reason for the seller to thnk it's a bulk buy, and only bulk buy can be given out as discount.

The seller will just request you to contact all buyer and buy direct from him individually at normal proice.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SDJB:
I understand and it makes perfect sense but at the particular time Window he would see an increase in sales.

... Yeah, is not going to work. Just trying to get the car at $10.

Any other ideas for the group buy?

Well, I ordered mine about a week ago, and it is already in Chicago! (WOOT) I'll be putting up plenty of pictures and hopefully a small review (Mainly covering how it affects cell signal, NFC, and wifi.) I got the all black color from the eBay link I posted earlier.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] Skander1998:
If it's real metal, NFC is dead (for sure, even a small thin piece of metal will make it go nuts.)

WiFi/Cell radios will be affected, but will still work..

I'd rather have it metal on the sides, and some great other non metal material on the back.

Too plain too, maybe a Samsung and a GS3 logo there?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] C.H.Wong:
My friend has bought one of these in TaoBao

Admittedly, the NFC is dead, Wi-Fi, 3G signals weak as **** (at least 30% off by observation ), this case in China Blue is really awesome

just depends if u are willing to sacrifice all those for one phone case

P'S: need to remove the original back cover to install, and screw drivers required
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Davanzze:
Awesome

They do look awesome! 1480 TWD is arround 38 euros.

I think i will take the risk of loosing part of my wifi/3g reception! :cool:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jonny68:
Sorry mate i call bull**** on that there can be no doubts whatsoever that WiFi, 3G,NFC,etc will be affected by this metal case, I'd sooner my phone was protected fully with an Urban Armor case which also looks great and have everything working fine than to lose 30%+ signal just for show, as I said lovely case but at a cost
[Galaxy S III Accessories] KMino:
On the bottom picture it looks like the edge isn't higher than the screen glass.

Wonder if it would protect the screen dropping it? Can't judge without a review and closer up pictures really.

I would rather the stock look myself. I would be embarrassed with that, it would be like driving a Celica with a Ferrari body kit or VW with a Porsche body kit. :D

For everyone who keeps asking. This has been talked about quite a bit on the last few pages on this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1829628

Also, quite a few guys did mention that there not on the market yet. Only in China. Looks great, but why anyone would sacrifice your Cell and WiFi signal for a case is beyond me lol. But it is a great looking g case.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mugenfa5:
You have to be carefully purchasing these aluminum cases. I bought an aluminum bumper and my GPS signal was totally thrown off. I thought it was the ROM that was causing issue until I remove the bumper and my GPS signal was able to lock within seconds.

This is still pretty neat. I'd like to see an English reseller for it.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] zimmen:

[Galaxy S III Accessories] pvcdroid:
I wouldn't go near these. NFC won't work through metal. Hence the brilliants at Apple decided on metal case with no NFC for the iPhone 5.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] DesertHawk:
I had a really cool one. It was based on the normal on with a strip of metal through it. Everything worked
[Galaxy S III Accessories] highaltitude:
I have run a case like this on my S2 for 2 years without any problems to signal or GPS and it has protected it excellent as well. Speculation is half a$$ information at best, experience is everything. Try it out then comment, or just make things up. I do agree it looks iPhonish though.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ChrisM0678:
I personally think it looks way better than the iPhone. The GS3 design is more proportional and looks 10X better with two tone aluminum. Anyone found a stateside/international seller yet?

I didn't know about the currency conversion minimum is $100 USD on the Yoybuy site.

Is there a site that I can get it from that has a less minimum requirement (say $50 USD maybe?)

Your providing alot of helpful info!

Edit: Offerany was the ticket! Thanks! Didn't have to deposit any money to do the exchange in currency, although the price of the product definitely reflects that, eh, $10+ more is better than having to deposit $100 USD to get something with Chinese currency.

Should I review it like I did the Neo Hybrid Reventon Yellow case for the Galaxy Nexus? ;)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ruvort:
Could you share the link for it on the offer any site please? :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Ska8erMush:
I just ordered mine, I hope I did it right! haha

I went to offerany.com and searched hunterf

here is the link I used:

http://www.offerany.com/p-209803882...00-Aluminium-Alloy-i9308-Metal-Coat-i939.html

10-20 days to get it. Shipping takes so long :p
[Galaxy S III Accessories] NCX Designs:
Here's the link I used

http://www.offerany.com/p-201833641...i939-Cell-Phone-Case-i9308-Defender-case.html

It took some searching to find it, but your right, it would have been easier to type in HunterF since its the company that makes the case. But I found it using "Samsung i9300 metal" and it gave me two results, and the one I used has had over 103 sales so I figured it was a popular one compared to some that were only at 3-4 sales, (meaning less legit i guess, but this is chinese shopping so anything can be counterfeit or even fake or crap compared to the real deal, its a risky shopping experience to buy from china, but hopefully I make out ok as do you guys. Mine was $59 with shipping, Hope everyone who orders get what they wanted.

Hopefully it doesn't affect signals too much

as far as 10-20 days, yeah thats about right, I've bought things on ebay from china before, it does have to come to the US on a boat, specifically, a storage container barge. Patience is rewarded, and from the looks of this beauty, it will be worth the wait.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kms108:

That might be so, but your not a moderator and this thread was having no complaints or anyone being out of line. Try to be a little more courteous in the future before posting, no one did anything wrong and its not a giant thread of questions like others usually are. Don't be a humbug
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kms108:
I'm just curious to ask, why was this pulled from page 2, it wasn't even a question, what is there to search for.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mputtr:
it's a known fact that metal cases always interfere with all wireless signals (wifi, cell, bt, gps, and nfc). I hope you would've gotten the joke I was making, but apparently you were a little too busy playing moderator.

You should do as my signature says and search (this time on google) on why metal cases and wireless signals don't mix well (here's a hint: density). Unless you can manufacture metal that somehow allows wireless signals to pass through, steel does not play well with wireless signals at all. It's physics.

It would end up heating the metal if anything, which is baaaad. The most you can get away with is a metal bumper case. (induction cooktops work the same way, just that wireless charging converts it back to electricity, so if you put any ferrous metal in between, it would rather heat the metal before it gets absorbed by the charging pad)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] j0sefuz:
can't afford? yeah right. ;)

who would? unless you're a reviewer and do a drop test. :)

but accidents happen and we won't know when it will come.

with the price of 46USD, I think it's a bad deal since as per mputtr, "it's a known fact that metal cases always interfere with all wireless signals (wifi, cell, bt, gps, and nfc)."

don't just always go with looks.

I am not dissing the case, I am just giving comments.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] arasarn:
I have been using an aluminum case since I got my GS 3 about two weeks ago.

I have had trouble with GPS lock and with bluetooth connectivity but not wifi.

I would stay away from metal cases.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] NCX Designs:
Depending on the thickness it could block alot of things, but if its designed with just an aluminum coating it could be different. Apple used to do the same thing they just made sure there was atleast some plastic around the antennas.

The description promises no interference too so could be just a ploy to get people to buy it. but of course why would a company design something that impairs the use of the device it will be put on?

i guess we won't know if this works well until one of us gets it and reviews it. :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] josepresas:
Can't wait til the first ones receive this beauty!

Question though, when you're ordering the case it asks for color and there's like military green, Light Green, or light green? Weird.. Shouldn't it ask black or white?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] rossida:
when i ordered there was only light grey, black, sky blue, and red.
