Discolor battery cover (white) - Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)

My white battery cover is becoming discolored. I would say it looks exactly like a marble with streaks. It happens when I put my phone in one of my black velour cloth/case that I had for my hard drive. The discolor cannot be cleaned with cloth, water, or glass cleaner. It seems to be below the glossy surface. The more I put it in the case the more streaks it develops.
I have called Samsung about it but they refuse to send me a new one saying that I probably did something to it. At&t local stores are completely out of stock so can't do an exchange either.
It doesn't look bad but just strange. lol

I've not seen discoloration like this - Samsung or AT&T should replace that for you.
Personally, I'm buying a replacement battery cover so I can take my stock one off and put it in the box and never use it again until I sell my device. They are FAR too easy to damage one way or another (if nothing else, scratching). I'm just buying a cheap one from eBay because I plan on keeping my GS3 in my Incipio Silicrylic case 99.5% of the time and I don't really care much if I have a stock battery cover on or not.

Clear protector/skin for the back??

I tried searching and couldn't find an answer for my question.
I just recently purchased a refurbed Asus Transforer TF101 + dock. I want to protect the screen of course, but also want to protect the back. I really love the look and texture of the back of the tablet. I want to get a clear protector for it, but I'm afraid because of the TF101's unique texture, the clear protectors(wet installs) won't properly adhere to it. Does anyone have experience + pictures with their install?
Thanks
This is a skinomi techskin. I bought it because it was the first product out there for the transformer, maybe the new stuff is thinner/better but this works fine. Its a soft film like invisibleshield/bodyguardz/phantomskinz and as you can see, the material actual conforms slightly to the texture, at least to the dimpled parts. What might not be apparent here is there are still some marks from the soapy liquid used for lubrication on installation. Its been on the tablet since May of last year and it still hasn't cleared completely up, so i would suggest getting a colored one if that kind of stuff bothers you.
Fits in the dock fine, just takes a little bit of extra push to get it totally in there to engage the lock due to it being slightly thicker.

Black Motorola earpiece medallion ?

I've ordered the Maxx black motorola earpiece medallion. I think it will fit the dark color of the device more and give a new appeal. The part is on its way, i'll update the thread with photos once i recieve the package.
Oh, I've badly scratched my silver medalion when I was replacing my screen. And I also wanted to buy black instead of silver. Wonder how will it look on my White RAZR. Anyway, waiting for your pictures! It'll let me make my decision
I bought a couple of silvers but they get scratched up so easily. Now I am using a Otterbox defender that covers the silver but the phone no longer looks sexy.
I'm thinking of purchasing black medallion as well and use full body shield to show its beauty, and use otterbox defender when I go fishing or trekking.
So the medallion arrived and i instantly removed the old silver one and apply new black one. Before and after photos.

I have had the case for about a month. This is my first wallet case and I wanted to get a cheaper one to see if I even like them. Previously I was using a UAG. It does seem to be real leather, it has a high shine to it, and the grain looks good. I'm able to put 6 cards in as well as 10 or so bills in the pouch. It could potentially hold more cards.
Pros
Good quality for the price.
Accommodates a lot of what was in my regular wallet.
Cons
No top or bottom coverage with the clip in case part. (Though leather extends past which should protect phone on top and bottom)
Personal preference I like the leather a little softer as well as less shiny. ( I was able to fix this after these pictures by lightly rubbing it down with an alcohol wipe)

Thats a very elegant case.
Would you mind telling us what you thought of it having lived with it over an extended period of time?
Maybe an updated pro vs con list

Anyone use these cases? What you think? I just ordered the silver.

I don't have one but have looked at it many times on ebay.
Makes me wonder if the back panel is gonna pop off if you drop the device and then the phone goes flying and the glass cracks in to thousand pieces?? ...the back panel is being put in place by some kind of snap on feature. I would Like to see screw assembly instead.

I have one that says Yoo Don on the packaging but it looks the same. I put it on and took it right back off because it is impossible to open charging flap with fingernail, might be able to with a knife tip or something. The back does indeed snap into place and seems pretty secure but wouldn't expect it to add any protection if phone was dropped.
Thanks for the feedback guys. I will let you know what I think when mine comes in a couple of weeks.

Alternative back covers (Aliexpress)

Hey, anybody seen this? I'm tempted to get one (the red one looks good!), but I couldn't get the back cover off my last nexus 6. Might order one for just $8.99. Supposed to come with a motorola logo although the picture doesn't show one.

I've seen those but haven't pulled the trigger. Usually Ali express sellers blur out or remove a logo on the product images, probably for copyright reasons. Let us know how it goes, I'd love a red one
Pretty cool. But I always use a skin, so it's kind of useless to me.
Looks good. I still prefer bare back with a bumper case.
at least according to the pictures they don't have the motorola logo on them. that may be something to keep in mind.
that particular seller no, but almost all of the others have a "logo" placeholder for the m. they're also all offering the same colors, so it's probably coming from the same source
There will be a logo, I asked the seller, he sent me this picture.
I haven't ordered yet, still not sure. If it sucks, the adhesive of my stock cover is unusable
I don't have a link, but while looking for back covers came across a few adhesive pads you could use on your stock cover
