Hi all, I was looking to invest in a rotating case for my 7.7 (when I get one!).
Like this one on eBay here.
Has anyone tried these sorts of cases? What's your verdict? Ultimately I'd prefer something like this but it seems it only comes in sizes for the 7.0 Plus.
I have the rotating case and for me is better than the genuine case. I don't mind the slightly extra bulkiness. Thrown my genuine case into the drawer. Only my experience.
In my opinion I like better the original samsung case, I've seen those rotating cases and they look bulky and I'll never going to get use to that cylinder in the back. In the original case it just fits right, clean and not bulky at all, but again, that's my preference... The bad: it's a lot more expensive.
I also bought one of those plastic body covers and it was just a piece of junk!
I am currently using that case，not bad
quality good，no foul smell，I think 120gram

Im also using this case now and its great! I got it from ebay hongkong seller for $14USD only with free shipping, no tax nor duties! Took around 15 business days to arrive here in Canada, case serves good protection, its good for right or left handed users and 360' stand option is really nice.
So overall its a nice case for its good price and its great quality.

I've this one in brown and I like it.
It feels a bit cheap at first (I expected it at this price) and I'm still unsure about how long it will last, but I'm using it since about a month and no problems so far.
I'm mostly using it for watching videos in landscape-format and only in rare occasions for portrait, but if I'm holding it in the hand I can turn the folding part of the case, this way it hangs down and doesn't bother me.
My girlfriend is folding it, so it's really thick to grab and does feel more like a book than a thin tablet.
The display-cover-part is rather thick (because of the creasing for the stand) and the rest feels a bit elastic, so I think its a good protection for my tab.
On the other hand: It makes the tab around 2 times thicker and doesn't feel good any more in the pocket of my jacket.
In conclusion: I like it, and I did same some money in comparison to the most thin-cases.
But I'm still not sure if I shouldn't try something thinner too.
i have something similar and the zenus casing. Personally i perfer the zenus. The other casing is thicker and the rotation is too loose.
put a back protector on your tab before using this rotating sleeve/case
I have one and the plastic rotating link is eating its way at the back pannel

I do not have any problems with this. Neither on the edges where the main connection is, nor on the back where the rotating part is.

I hate cases as a rule, will the naked screen with GG2 on S3 be safe to just put in an empty pocket and not get scratched? I take the back battery covers will be able to buy off eBay etc o XE released, so no problem in scratching that?
You are seriously going to just be okay with scratching a $700 investment and then just buying a new back off eBay? O if I ever damage my baby when I get it I will cry until mold grows on it. It word be the end. I am spending $700 on a phone I will use for 2 years .... no way would I use it without at least a full body Zagg. Have u looked into those? Since u are gung ho on no case?

Any glass will scratch if it comes in to contact with mineral particles, at least put a screen protector on it!

I've had mobiles since 1998 and the only time I use a case is when I go to the beach, the rest of the time they just go naked. Never had screen protector either and I've yet to scratch or drop a phone
Phone goes either in a jacket pocket or a separate pocket in my handbag and I just make sure there's nothing else in there that could do some damage.

The problem with the GS2 is the part that scratched was that bit at the bottom that sticks out. However the GS3 has all one cover at the back so the only part you're gonna scratch is a piece of cheap plastic that you can replace on ebay for as much as a cheap case.
Gorilla Glass doesn't need screen protectors, everyone goes on about the screen quality and then puts a protector on it and ruins the quality right there lol. I have never gotten a scratch to my screen on modern day smart phones, just don't put your phone in with your keys....
This is what pisses me off with iPhone users...
"Samsung phones are made from cheap plastic"
Just feel like yeah but at least we can see our phones and it's cheap to replace parts on it. When you buy an iPhone if you drop it the metal dents or the glass shatters at the back because it's made from cheaper glass than the front. So you have to buy a cheap looking ugly case to cover the phone, making it bulkier and you never even get to see your phone until you sell it.
Now you get these people saying...
"GS3 has a Pentile screen it sucks"
Oh look they have a screen protector on it which makes their screen look like ****.....
Just don't put anything on the phone.
I'm thinking of going the naked route, been using my SGS1 without a case for the last year, and other than some scuffs on the back from putting it on hard surfaces and drunkenly sliding the phone when I pick it up, I have not noticed any significant scratch problems.

Yeah, my daughter still has my old N1 which has never had a screen protector on it and the screen is still just fine after some 3 years or whatever it has been. SGS2 same thing, got it when they came out, no screen protector, no scratches.
I do run cases though just to get the grippier surfaces. My own wish list for a phone would include it coming with a hard rubberized exterior that I didn't need to get a case for. Something soft enough to be grippy but hard enough that it didn't catch while going into or being pulled out of a pocket. A material like what is used on the seidio innocases.
I can see there's a for and against!
I hate cases in. general as others have said the phones are made 8.6mm etc then a case goes on and boom its a monster again!
I have tried Zagg and others but it does make the screen worse, better protected I agree though.
My iPhone 4 had a full zagg body shield on, with my XE I have a spare battery back cover so no need and a slip pouch for when its in my pocket, best of both worlds I think?
My S1 is coming up for 2 years old now and the only protection I have ever had on it is a screen cover and a pouch that I slip it in to and its still mint. I have already received my new leather pouch for the S3 and it will also come with a new screen protector from CPW
Screen protectors are overrated...depending on phone. I've had my gnex for 5 months with no protection, in pocket, dropped on floor and not a single scratch. The S3 comes with even better glass via gorilla glass 2.

I always go nekid, any and all cases make the phone look retarded IMHO .
I'm naked.
It's a gamble, naturally. You do not want to be naked if you're somewhere with a lot of sand. If you plan on reselling the device, it might also be prudent to take precautions. But if it's just going to be for you, you can do whatever the hell you want.

Never used a case or screen protecter on my gs2 and its mint had it since release. My HOX however has case on it as it goes shiny on rear if u scratch. With GS3 I'll prob just have pouch an that's it

I can recommend one:
Samsung Galaxy S: Normal usage, naked. For in my pocket.
I hate it when my girlfriends cleans my screen because it's dirty because of fingerprints, it reveals all little cuts in the screen. But it still looks nice though.

The rear of the GS3 is all one removable cover unlike the GS2 where the part prone to scratches was part of the main structure of the phone on that part sticking out at the bottom.
So if the GS3 gets scratched it'll be on that cheap bit of plastic you can replace for a tenner.
I hate covers & cases, too!
If you have dirt in your case or cover this scratch the phone too. Look at the bumper for iPhone 4(s)...
On my latest phones xperia play and EVO 3d I only use an screen protector and when the backcover a scratched I buy a new.
I want to use my smartphone in 1 Sec. in hands. No opening a cover or cases.
Yesterday I preordered my s3 and now I look @amazon for a screenprotector.

I never use cases or screen protectors and I've never had an issue. I usually do buy some kind of pouch for the phone though, especially for when I'm at the beach, which is pretty often.
Have to agree with a couple of the above posts. I don't mind a nice sleek case with minimal protection though. I tend to take very good care of my electronics so its a rare occasion for me to drop my phone. I like the size and shape of phones nowadays and some of these cases are overkill. Especially the otter box ones.. lol, they make your phone just as big as a gameboy .
As for screen protector.. no way. Will never get one. I've tried a bunch and they ALL take away from the smooth glide of the naked screen IMO.

I'll probably get a screen protector for it at some point. I was thinking I'd go naked in the beginning... when the phone is still new I tend to really baby it and obsess over it, but later on at some point I always, without fail, either drop it on the ground or accidentally put it in a pocket together with some keys or something.
The best screen protector I've tried is Copter Screenprotector+++, I don't know if those are very widely available in a lot of different countries. I think it's a Swedish brand and I don't think they're very well known.
I've tried InvisibleShields, and I find them to be way too grippy and rubbery. The Copters are OK, sure they do add some grippiness to the screen so it does mess with the feeling of the touchscreen but it's the least grippy one I've tried.
I don't much like cases... and if the battery cover gets scratched, I bet that later on you can get those off eBay for 5 bucks a pop... On that note, I would really like a see-through battery cover! Mmmmmm.... *daydreams*

Gorilla Glass 2 is no better than Gorilla Glass 1 for protection, the updated version is just 20% thinner.

Is anybody having problems with hairline cracks on the battery cover. I have noticed that there are several hairline cracks in my battery cover. White. It's really hard to see but there are several hairline cracks in the coating not all the way through the plastic. Not to concerned because I ordered a replacement a couple of weeks ago just to be on the safe side. Just thought I would ask if anyone has this problem. You have to look closely expecially around the camera hole. Easier to spot on the white.

Same here, but I'm not sure if it happened when I dropped it underneath the car seat.

There have been many complaints in Taiwan on mobile01.com from the battery cover cracking.... Its actually not the cover itself but the paint on the surface, happens on both white and blue.... u can only see in certain lighting and angles. It seems to happen if you flex the cover too much when u take it off... My way around this is to use a credit card to go around the edges to remove the cover instead of peeling it back
Yep same on my white one too
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
I'll dig the instructions out when I get the chance and look but just wondering if Samsung have covered their own arses by giving you some warning or guide for removing cover.
Yeah, I have a crack between the headphone hole and the loud speaker, and it is causing the top right corner not to clip into the body properly. I have ordered a replacement back cover.
Yeah i noticed this too, I was bending the battery cover and this cased hairline cracks on the gloss paint on the outside of the battery cover. the plastic itself is fine, since its the same as the s2 cover which could literally be folded in half and go back to normal. but then again the black s2 cover didn't have any paint.
so bottom line is: the plastic of the battery cover is very flexible, but the gloss paint isn't and that's what cracks!
My laminate on the back panel started to peel so I sent the cover back for replacement (have a naked S III for a few days). Also the grip to putt it off at the top cracked.

No cracks on my cover, had the phone for about a month. I guess I am probably more careful than you guys when I remove the cover because I have long nails (real ones ) and I don't want to break them (I learnt the hard way with with the S2 )

I also have a white s3 and have a crack on the cover that goes half way across the back. Did 2nd day with the phone. Not going to bother changing it, it dosnt affect anthing i hope:cyclops:
Since owners have had the phone a for a bit longer now, I would like some feedback on those screen protector choices you have made.
Basically what I want is the common things:
*As invisible as possible.
*Smooth feeling to the touch is preferred.
*easy to apply is a plus
*I prefer to not remove the sony one already there.
So I was looking at M.glass, other ebay glass ones and then my usual choices like Zagg HD the case friendly version for the plasticky ones.
So what is working out for you guys?
I bought one off of ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/261323055474?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649. It feels nice when you put it on. I got something stuck under it though so if you are installing one make sure your phone is perfectly clean. I like the feel of it better than the normal screen. It was hard to install well for me but probably not as hard as I made it out to be. I had it perfect but removed it to get the thing from under it out and that is where things went wrong.
Thats my problem too when installing myself..always some dust gets in somehow. I am thinking on trying to install inside the bath tub or something after running the how water for like 10 minutes to see if that helps...seriously lol

i have the Armorz Stealth Extreme R on mine. a bit on the pricey side but i love it. I also have one of the ebay ones for the back glass. both were put on over the stock sony screen protectors. on the back piece, i actually soaked the back of the screen with a spray bottle before applying it. It was a pain in the ass pressing out all the bubbles, but it looks flawless after a bit of elbow grease.
I have Glass-M front+back for mine and I absolutely love it. (Removed factory ASF as well). My notes
* It is really smooth. Like freshly made toffee it is so smooth it feels faintly greasy (but it is not). On an almost completely flat table the phone will slowly slide across the surface by itself due to a slope you can't see (be careful)
* I believe touch sensitivity is improved. Finicky DPI sliders in Paranoid Android setups give me no trouble now - before jumping 239,243,241 when I really want 240 dpi exactly. Pencil also works perfectly as a stylus.
* I believe screen brightness and clarity are improved. Subjective and probably due to removal of the ASF (and its invisible tiny scratches)
* Extra glass makes the phone a bit thicker but also much stiffer and I liked this. I also have a Z1 and I miss how solid that phone felt in my hand. Ultra always felt a bit too flimsy (bendy). I also had to widen the slot on my DK30 (sandpaper glued to a flat stick aka big emory board)
* Getting alignment correct is tricky - glass-M slightly smaller than the phone screen edges. Mine went on crooked but I can live with that.
* No dust or bubbles in mine. Used the shower trick of old school film photographers. Long hot steamy shower will effectively clean the room of even tiny dust particles.
* Removing the ASF is a truly harrowing experience (see the other thread). Halfway through you *will* have an "Oh God what have I done" moment. Still totally worth it.
Hope my ramble helps someone. In summary really happy with the Glass-M. :good:

Haha yeah I took it off and it made it way worse... ended up being a waste of money which has been happening a lot since my phone had been sent back for repair. I have wasted so much money. But yeah I bought another one and got it a couple of days ago but have not opened it. I will install it right when my phone gets back.
So when you guys go dual glass (front and back I mean) do you just carry it without a case? I mean, when I remove mine from the case it just feels SOOOO good to hold, like the case makes it feel not as ergonomic even though you will think is just one flat object

Glass-M Front+Back and I carry mine "au naturel". Four weeks of sliding in and out of pocket + keys, coins, cig. lighter etc with no marring or scratches. Seriously it feels way better in my hand than the factory finish: smoother, bit thicker (2x 0.25mm glass + adhesives is a lot on a 6.5mm phone), and far more solid. Absolutely love its handling after placing the extra glass.
Downsides are metal sides will eventually pick up scratches and dents and also I don't like the proximity sensor cutout: messes with the Sony design and makes it look like everybody else's iPhone/Samsung/whatever with slots cut into the front of the phone. I don't believe the cutout is necessary for that sensor to work. (could be wrong about that)

yup. I carry it without a case now. feels super classy. picked up some weight from the dual glass but I'm not worried about scratching the screen compared to using the phone fresh out of the box.

Ah you guys are going to make me join the nudist colony!
Well I got too many cases already on the way but they will live in the car to be used when required, but for the most part I love the feel of it naked....and we are still talking about phones just before someone locks the thread
Does the glass go all the way to the edges of the phone? Like if I use one of those cases that go just above the screen (if those will even fit which I doubt) will it make the glass come off?
I guess I should just not use a case but gosh I bought a couple of nice ones already LOL

yeah maybe I bought cases for decoration now LOL We shall see.
I just thought of one possible issue if I get the Glass-M vs getting a single one for the screen only....I want to get one of those extended batteries case combinations.
So if I get that, I am pretty sure it wont fit with the Glass-M but maybe it will fit if I only get one glass for the front?
I'm getting my glass-m protectors today. I'll post my opinion tomorrow some time
Cool!
I got one of the front glass only protectors from ebay. Still waiting for it to arrive to see if I can deal with it.
I should have gotten the Glass M but I dont feel like modding the DK30 which I will probably have to do anyway

Got my Glass-M protector yesterday put it on this morning. It works great. Its' pretty comparable to the spigen tr I had on my S4 maybe a littler thinner. It includes the front and back glass protectors, rear camera cutout was perfect. The front appears to cover the camera. There is a cutout for something to the left of the camera but I'm not really sure why. Maybe I am misunderstanding the layout? Luckily it laid down well enough that its not causing any distortiong.
It actually feels nicer and seems more fingerprint resistant than the stock bare screen with its ASF film. It's an expensive kit but considering both front and rear protectors are glass it seems like its worth the money to me.
Shipping was also really fast considering it came from hong kong....about 5 days.
So I ended up trying this glass one:
Protector
The feeling and quality of the image is so pristine compared to my previous regular plastic like protector!
I did have to sand paper the DK30 a bit to make it fit but all is good. I still can use all my cases if needed and I left the plastic protector for the back part.
So overall, I think I will keep this one because with the dual Glass M ones, I dont think my cases will work nor the Charging case combo I want.
With the size of this phone and the Explosion proof glass...I feel like Captain America now
Ok here is the deal.
I normally use a gel case on my phones. There fit the phones well and cover everything that needs to be.
But they make the phone a lil bit thicker and hide the phone. Normally I get a phone and want to see it for itself.
Well I brought a metal bumper and it looks nice.
But I see that the camera sticks out and touchs when sitting it down.
My girl says that the camera screen is glass and won't break or scratch, but I still like for the phone to not sit on it.
So I am wondering if there is anything I can put around the camera to protected.
I was thinking of something like a form pad so the camera wouldn't touch but idk.
I know some will say get one of the charger back but then it makes the phone thick and defeats the point.
Whole new lens cover assembly cost about $6 on e-bay and shouldn't be difficult to DIY, but you could get some small piece of thick one sided foam tape, cut it to shape and stick around the cam, why not. If it gets dirty or comes off, make new one. Personally I have not seen anything like that commercially, wait, actually there is lens mount you can glue around cam, it comes with small tele lens that you can attach on top.

Yea I saw the replacements on eBay for like $10ship and I'm a tech person so I can replace it no problem.
And I didn't thing about the lens. I know they have a metal ring.
I'll check into everything.
Thanx.
I have a metal bumper also. I had an extra home button sticker that I sticked near the camera lens. Now when I lay flat down it doesn't lay on the camera lens.

I use skinomi clear skin. They include a skin for the bottom half of the camera. When my phone is laying flat the lens doesn't touch. As a bonus since you're using a metal bumper, the side skins can act as an all around protection between the bumper and the chrome trim. Much better than what the bumper comes with. But you will probably need to remove the ones on the bumper first as it will become too thick and the bumper won't fit properly.

I am updated to Kitkat,unrooted. so s-view no work for me. Thats why I took the front flap of my white spigen slim armor view out, and let the back side on on white note3 ... gives it some kind of a z10-ish look.
coming back to the point, my case does the job well, apart from protecting the sides from scratches, by keeping the camera lens from having contact when lying flat. well, quite a hefty investment if you want to protect your lens only. but since I already purchased it, it does the job decently, and I dont find it that much of bulky. anyhow, bulky or not, to me - this is a question of habit. i mean, now that I look and take a grasp of my old i9100, it seems very small now, which wasnt the case some months back my two cents

Yea i got a normal gel case for the phone. I have always use those without problems but i got a bumper for the note 3. It just feels better, so trying to keep the phone slim.
I thought about putting a dot of hot glue somewhere around it to lift it up. But i just didnt wanna do that to a new phone.
I want a square that would fit right around the camera and stick to the back plate.
Ill keep looking
the replacement lens piece is like $10, just something to think about
