It really depends on what you like. I got the case with the kickstand in back to watch shows without holding my phone. Shop around. You will find something that catches your eye.

Take a look through the accessories section, they have all sorts of reviews of cases people have purchased as well as docks and extended batteries and what not

So I somehow managed to shatter the rear camera lens cover glass thing (sorry I don't know the technical term which maybe part of the issue) and I saw on youtube its very easy to replace. The only problem is all the replacements I find ship from hong kong and I'd like to know if any one has a website that ships from the us thay sells galaxy parts thay may have the camera piece I'm looking for. Thanks for your help.
Why not just ship it from HK?

Because I'd rather not wait 2 to 3 weeks. I will if that's the only option but if I can find something quicker I'd like to use that one.

Hello Everyone,
I bricked my galaxy sIII i9300 bought in Europe. Now I am looking for a motherboard replacement and found a i747 motherboard in ebay. My question is can I replace the i9300 motherboard with i747 motherboard? If they are not compatible, can you suggest me a way to replace my motherboard?
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Madan Raj
Although to save you having the thread moved or reposting.... the answer is no. You do not want a US model motherboard

Thanks!
Thanks for the answer, but can you please tell me why is not a good idea? I would be glad to know the reason as well.
And about reposting: where should I repost this question?

...because you wont be able to use the phone!
Its a completely different phone with different CPU and graphics card and connects to completely different network frequencies to the rest of the world.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
Just outta curiosity, regard hardware and frequency, if their screen are same, is it possible to switch motherboard?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
No idea. Don't even know if the screen is the same or has the same fittings. How many essential components that aren't part of the motherboard need to connect to the replacement and work? What voltage do those components need?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
I think you can switch the screen setup of both models, but not sure. I read somewhere that its possible to switch screens. Let me lookit up and share it with you guys.
I was worried about the motherboard and now it seems I have no other choice than dumping my s3 or wait untill I get a i9300 motherboard
Anyways, thanks guys for sharing the information. Just let me know if have to keep something in mind before buying a motherboard. Any help or suggestions are appreciated!
Cheers!

Has anyone been able to locate the metal frame? I know there's some replacement backs available on eBay but I'm also looking for the silver frame to fully convert my midnight blue model to the white model

Google "remove color from anodized aluminum".
Looks like greased lightning could work to take off the coloring.

I don't think it will be easy. If you looak at the frame on this photo https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/igi/N4sjXwcb2YZIVVj6.huge you will see there a few plastic things attached to the frame.
These guys are apparently selling both frames, but I have found mixed reviews from this provider.

Does anyone know of any other provider?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/251774488145?var=550699842251 these guys do for $40 and have both colors.
Anyone know how hard this would be to replace? I was thinking about buying one from that ebay link for $40. Has anyone done this before?

lol, I was about to say the same thing. I've looked at it on there. Was just curious if anyone has tried it.
This video could come in handy too for anyone who's attempting to do this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3DIciBooyM&index=1&list=FLpEMJ1xhZ296tc4uxe6aajw

Hi,
Not sure if it's been asked yet. Couldn't find the question so thought I'd ask you guys.
What ever happened to all those samsung official cases - like the camera attachment one that samsung were advertising when the phone came out? I've tried googling it but can't seem to find anything. And the website doesn't have an option to buy them?

I can pre-order it at www.verkkokauppa.com (link) so I assume they just haven't been made in larger quantities yet.
Edit: One of the stores said they were expecting the leather cover on the 13th of April.
