S3 marble - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, I was wandering if any of you guys are having a problem with the marble battery back case such as hairline scratches and hairline cracks? These are located underneath the back camera light, camera and speaker.
On a side note I always use a protective case and I have never put the phone in any stress.

Got me new case mate case from Amazon.com and it is simply beautiful I love it. Doesn't feel like I have a case at all.

Looks great! Do you know if they are available in black?
Yes they do but haven't looked on amazon for it.

Just bought the barely There regular one. Love it. Have the Otterbox Commuter as well. Does it kill GPS and cell signal like others posted?
I haven't noticed any difference in signal loss.

I have the same case but in silver. I did notice my GPS position was off with the case on.
I have this case in gray. After one drop and general wear and tear it started to crack. Plus the brushed aluminum back began to peel off. If you're going for looks though it's a great case.

Is there an inner coating so it doesnt scratch the phone when you put it inside?

No there isn't. It's a glossy plastic finish on the inside.

[Q] How do you carry your note 2?

LOVE this device, but the size makes it awkward to carry in your pocket. So how are you carrying the phone?

I carry it in my pocket with no problem. Im only about 6ft tall 180lbs wear the perfect size pants nothing too skinny or baggy.

My man bag.
Not really. My pocket. It feels like it might slide out when I sat down for the first day or so but it's far from actually doing it and i've already gotten used to it.

I guess ive just had bad luck with mine not staying in my pocket. Ive stooped down a couple times and had it fall out of my pocket. It also falls out when im in the car because of the angle of the seats.

I have a case on mine so it's not very slippery. Is yours in its birthday suit? That could be a big difference.

Mine doesn't have a case on it either and I have no problems with it fitting in my pants pocket or falling out.
Fits in my pockets..... uniforms and regular pants.
Slim and smooth case with no pocket issues. Although you xan definitely tell its there. Im 240lb and have sat on it a couple times now, no issues lol.

Military style pants with pockets on the thighs or in a inside jacket/suit pocket. DO NOT PUT IN YOUR BACK POCKET! I had some unexplained reboots whilst in myback pocket.
I use an origial Flip Case. The white one, which is not so white on the inside anymore. It likes dirt.
Quick review of the flip case. It grows on you. At first i thought it was slightly difficult to use, but now after a month the spine is very soft so i just fold it under the back of the phone. This gives added traction as well. The only problem I have really is no big deal and that is that you need to learn to hold it in a different way when you take pictures.
One last thing. If anyone knows or has contact with a case designer I would like one that combines a bumper case with a flip case.
In my purse!

I have a Active Seidio case and holster. I got the gloss white case and its kinda slippery. Not sure if the black one is rubberized as it was for the thunderbolt. The edges are rubber so it's not too bad. However if the black one is rubberized I would go for that one. As far as carrying it the holster is awesome! I'm 6' 150lbs. I do carry it in my pocket when I'm wearing sweats and it's not bad at all. .. I wouldn't know anything about carrying it in skinny jeans as I don't own any.

I'm almost 6" and it fits nicely in my pockets.

I've got a slim case on mine and I carry it around in my pocket without any problems.
In my pocket. I don't notice it any more than I noticed my GNex in there. Carried it around last night and today in both jeans and dress pants for work, no problem. I'm not a tall/big guy and I don't wear really baggy pants either. The only way I could see this being uncomfortable is if all you wear are skinny jeans.

I have opened one for replacing the LCD, didn't knew gluing back would be a problem :/
I think you can use those 3M double sided tapes for phones or 3M Digitizer Frame Adhesive Double Sided Stick Tape
Look them up on Amazon.

Then what do you want?
I have opened the og RAZR 910 several times for fun, and to revert the maxx batt upgrade. Usually, there is enough adhesive to restick.
This cover is obviously not held on by much and is barely functional as a dust cover. Make sure it's snapped on tight, use a little heat(hair dryer) to refresh what is left if the stock adhesive, and/or add some tape as has been suggested. You could probably use viscous adhesive putty sometimes found in reusable closure packaging; look around, and you sure to find something suitable. There are plenty of online stores that will sell OEM replacement parts for reasonable prices as well.

Mine looks like that without a case. The plastic surrounding the lens is just the cheapest crap on earth.

Here's another option. I've been using their cases for years and they are very high quality.

I agree... it's really crummy plastic. But my wife's note 2 camera lens is in much better shape than this after several months
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda premium
I'm confused, do you not still have the piece of plastic on the lens from factory? That covers the entire thing to the shiny plastic ring.
You have factory plastic on still. That will scratch very easily. Remove it.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
Lol.
Looks like the plastic was still on! Hahaha.
Thanks for the heads up dude.
Just peeled it off and the lens looks brand new (because it is).
Now hopefully the plastic screen won't do the same thing to the actual lens.
Can anyone else comment on whether their S-View case is causing damage after the plastic has been removed?
Thanks again

I never noticed it myself either lol.
I am curious.... did removing it make the pictures any better?
The plastic doesn't cover where the lens is actually used for pictures, just the glass around it. I don't think it would make a difference.

Good question.
I honestly can't tell if this camera reacts differently to light than my s3. I feel like the s3 allowed more light in and took “brighter photos" at Lower res.
I'm going to need to mess around with this more to figure out the camera.
To answer your question, I don't know. I need to take some more photos!

Yup I could tell looking at that, you must have freaked out haha
Havent had a problem with mine yet

Self refurbish?

I bought my s3 second hand and it looks terrible, you can pick up full housing, glass and back for £15, anyone done this before? I don't fancy paying for a new LCD but the heat gun method looks sketchy at best
