I really want to exchange this phone for a white one when they are available - I paid almost $700 and do not want to pay the $75 restocking fee to exchange it. I ran Dead Pixel Tester and found 2 dead or stuck pixels. Will they let me exchange it for a NEW white phone if I complain to retention? Any ideas?
Damn that sucks.

They should. It's a manufacturing defect.

They should but I don't know about switching the color.
There will exchange it but not for another color.

Same here.
on the 27th.
I was mad when I found out the white s3 wouldn't ship till later. I bit the bullet and bought the blue one and I was surprised because the blue ain't bad at all, I actually like it and it looks like the whole phone is brushed metal.

I actually like the blue...it's much better looking in real life than the pictures made out to look...its kinda got a gunmetal look to it that I am digging...but definitely a finger print magnet for the back cover though.

That's exactly what I thought. I went into the store telling myself I wouldn't buy it if they didn't have the white one because I'd seen the promo pictures and didn't like it as much. Then I saw a guy with a blue one outside the store and it totally changed my mind. It's much more reserved than what I expect the white one to look like. The blue isn't overwhelming and blends nicely with the lighter blue on the edges.

Cause you could be mistaken for this with a white one
The white on plastic phones has a tendency to turn blue if you wear jeans. Just a warning.
Also, my Blue one looks AMAZING! It isn't near as blue as pictures make it look, more of a titanium.
Yeah I didn't like the blue at first, but now that I have it, it's beautiful.

I just noticed on my phone that the whole silver casing on my white S3 is cracking in atleast 10 places. I have not dropped the phone at all and it just started doing this. I took it to sprint and they said they have no idea whats happening so I called customer service and they're sending me a new one.
Sooo has this happened to anyone else?? Look at the sides real carefully and please reply!
Unfortunately, this has been happening with numerous S3s in Europe prior to our US release. No clue there why either.
I checked mine carefully and I have what looks like 4 seams, one in each corner. Almost positive they came with the phone tho.

I have the same four seams. Don't see any cracks on my device, luckily. I've been using the pebble blue 16GB S3 since the 21st.
Hmm yeah mine has the 4 seams as well. Are all of yall's the blue version?? Mine is white but i doubt that makes a difference.
Mine is white too. Hopefully you can get a replacement soon and the rest of us don't develop this problem

Holy Hell.. well can't argue Samsung isn't using cheap plastic build quality. I thought they were on top of it. The sgs3 seems so Damn fragile with the weaker screen and plastic compared to my s2.
It's like pick your poison. Get an s3 that has great specs and software/hardware enhancements but it'll crumble in your hands.
Or evo that has great specs and camera but it has sense 4, resource hungry and will die without warning.

I have a blue with 4 seams. That 2nd picture with the cracks is crazy. I remember when the first Nexus came out this was happening and Google said not to put your phone in your pocket. Maybe no more skinny jeans for you.

yea i have the 16g blue and it looks like cracks /seams on all 4 corners, are yours in the corners also? i haven't dropped it or I don't use skinny jeans lol so maybe that's how they made them?
The 1st thing i did out of the package was inspect the blue S3 and automatically noticed those 4 seems however I just took it as that's how is was manufactured and not a defect.

So I had a black evo and saw that the white one was announced and today was my last day of my 14 day window to exchange the phone. So I decided to go in and return it and wait a couple days and come back in when the white one was out. When I got to the store I told them I wanted the white evo and the guy was like white evo? And he went in the back and came back out with it and said I guess we just got them I didn't even know we had them so I just went with it and paid the 35 dollar restocking fee. Then I got home and opened it and it looked a little plain so I decided to switch out some parts with my girlfriends black one. And I gotta say I'm stoked on my storm trooper lookin evo. Lemme know what you guys think. And first post on this forum so hello as well lol

Lol! it really is mixed! I put the black aluminum body from hers with the white glass and white plastic and silver kickstand. You can't tell in the pics? It very clearly has the HTC indents on the black unibody and sprint logo. I can take more pics if you don't believe me. And now hers is all the black parts with the silver body and red kickstand.

Not too hard, a precision Xacto knife, some patience, and a little time..... And some vinyl of course. My first one, maybe ya saw it on GoodandEvo.net or here on XDA, ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1683079 ), was swapped for issues with the proximity sensor, but it collected too damn many fingerprints though! I prefer my newest varient anyways. Lol.
In the Ops defense....To all the haters... F*** OFF!! FOR REAL!, to each his (or her) own. If ya don't like it, say so... But don't be a **** about it.There are million's of cases out there for just as many phones, same as there is a billion places to eat that all serve the same type of food. Everyone make choices based on personal preferences. XDA is about customizations, hardware, software and EVERYTHING in between!! If anyone wants to share here, share ANYTHING they want, they have that right. Do you bash a developer because the ROM they created isn't to your liking?? No, you move on and flash the one you do like, and if you do, then you deserve to be banned from this site and every other like it.

I don't know if I want to keep my white or go with the Grey. opinions are welcome. Which one looks better, white or Grey? Thanks for the help.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda premium
It's all preference.
I liked the grey better, but that was because of the home button. The white didn't match in my eyes.
If you're looking to switch, may want to hold off because word is, a black version is coming out soon.
What he said ^^.. My daughter has the white one and I have the grey one. I personally like the grey better but she likes the white better. All preference.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda premium
It's a known fact that the grey one is faster, gets better reception and will not break if you drop it!!
Ok, none of that is true, but it is true that the grey one looks better!!
Ok, that isn't true either (for a lot of folks)!
But if you are asking for opinions, then mine is. . . GREY!!
I suggest you go to a store and hold both phones. Then pick the one you like best and buy it.
Good luck.
The grey looks less cheap, will hide dirt better, and the gd button doesn't stand out as much.
The white flip cover gets dirty on the inside of the cover quite quickly. The white however may lend itself better to the new coloured flip covers that are available. I don't know if grey and pastel-orange or blue will look so good.
I went with Grey. I had the white galaxy s3 and if you have a screen protector on the phone it starts looking dirty after awhile due to finger oil/dirt that happens to rub off.
Can't go wrong with either though.

I came to say similar things about the white one, lol.
I got a tpu hybrid case & it has black and clear parts to it, so it really looks nice over the white GNote, even if it wasn't I love the look of white on this, it really makes it pop
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda premium
I prefer grey. Looks better. But my sgs3 was white. Lol
I got the grey simply because it almost blends the VZW logo in with the phone; you don't see it as much. Also, there are going to be a lot more cases that will be black as opposed to white, and unless you like serious contrasting colors, most cases will match the dark grey of the Note as opposed to the white color. Hope this helps.
I got the white one. And I tell everyone I meet that I'm on a verizon plan.

I prefer the gray version. My S III was white (and it was my first white phone) and while it's a nice look, I just feel that the gray looks better on the Note II.
Hey if you want to tell Verizon screw off, and get the same battery door as the rest of the world, then buy one from ebay. I contacted this seller and they say it has the Samsung logo and all. So I ordered one for my white Note 3, I'll post it when I get it. But here is the link if you want one. They are worth the price in my opinion, the Verizon battery cover looks horrible.

So I have to say I checked out a black one yesterday and my new back feels very similar if not exactly the same as the black one. Maybe they changed the material for printing on the White one when the carriers branded the phones, but it's also not as shiny as the old back. Looks and feels better, win win.

Yeah that's what everyone says but I just compared this new one with a Verizon black one and it feels exactly the same. This new one with Samsung branding is a different build then the White Verizon one. Even the stamped code on the back is different by one number. When you hold it with no phone on it, you can feel it's a fraction thicker. I'm really happy with this back
Sent from my SM-N900V using xda app-developers app
Nice cover! If I ever run my phone naked, I'd scoop one of these up. But since I have a case on my phone, you'll never see the back cover so it'd be a waste of $20. Good find though.
I know some of you have been looking for these and I found some that look really good with stitching and all. 3.99 isn't a bad price either.

Just ordered one. Will post photos once it's in.
So mine just came in today. I got it in mint green.
The texture of it feels very similar to the one that came with my phone. It also has a little writing on the back that says "Bubblepack".
It didn't fit perfectly when I first tried to put it on, until I tried putting it on starting from the bottom.
It feels a little bit more grippy but that could be because I just got back from biking and my hands are sweaty. Either way, it's not a bad price if you want to change the battery cover color.
