There is space between the top edge of the screen and the SHARK FIN camera which is probably earpiece. But it is open and not covered with any mesh. Is that right or I have got a flawed piece???

Hi there , here r the pics. The one in shark fin is covered with mesh......but the other on the phone body is an open invitation.
I am new here .... Was restricted from attaching files.... here is the link...

Yep. Mine has the same thing. So does my Wife's. If that wasn't there you wouldn't be able to hear the speaker. It doesn't really collect much dust. I've actually never got anything trapped in mine. But I use canned air about once a week on it and the shark fin and the rest of the phone. No problems yet. And I've had my phone for about a month now.
Ok..will do the same...and yes, it's not a big thing to worry about.... absolutely loving the phone .......thanks

K so I bought my 1st phone from expansys and had bad overheating issues. They were very nice in exchanging it for me. But now I noticed on by replacement phone there are like 6-8 spider cracks around the one side of the rear speaker. You can tell the back plate cracked from factory speaker install. Did anyone notice this on their phone? I emailed expansys again. Do u think they'd give me a hard time on getting another replacement? I hate to see the back case crack worse then it already is.

can you post a picture of the phone?
On top of that add some other issues like black screen ink marks and tell them backcover makes a sound when u click on it. That should be enough to get a refund or replacement

I do have those black ink marks, im not really worried about it at the moment. What I worry is will it worse and be visible on the months/weeks to come?
this is the best attempt i could make....i can't tell if its just the glaze that is cracked or what...but come on you pay 700 for a phone it shouldn't be like that....

Hi all, newbie here
Just received my shiny new S3 this morning and it's beautiful - haven't had a chance to power it up yet.
Thing is, I'm a complete OCD freak when it comes to my gadgets, and I've noticed that on each of the four corners of my handset (on the bezel) there are small lines that appear to be joinery spots, but I'm not quite sure. At first I thought it was a crack but then realised that there are small lines on each corner, which leads me to believe it is joinery and not cracks. The lines are not that visible but if you focus you can spot them.
Sorry to be so OCD but can anyone else confirm this?
Thank you
Yep, mine has the same. Never noticed before.
You b*****d!!! I have noticed it now!!!
I too have OCD........

me too, think of it as the design
Probly moulding marks
i noticed em on mine as soon as i got the phone! and i dont have OCD ! LOL.
crappy manufacturing process if you ask me! they could could have moulded it in one piece! should have been made out of metal... the bezel at least!

Saw it right from the moment of unpacking, too... and I don't have OCD neither.
But that barely visible and after a few days with the handset, I'm actually glad it's plastic and not metal... It's softer, warmer, and it will actually absorb shocks better, effectively protecting the screen a tad more. And it's moulded in one piece...Only the mould was not in one piece itself
I noticed mine today which led me here. Thing is i saw a post on the net and the guy had one just below home button and cpw changed the phone for him.
Same lines are on the Galaxy Nexus. I never saw them but my friend dropped his phone and thought he cracked it in those 4 spots. Then he asked me to check mine and sure enough, they were there.
Mine too...............
I have also seen those 4 hair line cracks/joints around all corners on my white S3 this morning. Because I already requested for return and refund from eXpansys-usa.com. so before sending then I want to confirm it, Is it normal?. otherwise they will laugh on me.:silly:
I think the 4 corners are normal, but the other random spots aren't. I ordered mine from Expansys-usa.com too. I don't have the random spots, but do have the 4 corners and they aren't like the one in the picture. They are hard to see unless you look for them. Like it's how the phone is put together.

Cracks in Plastic around edge on my Galaxy S3
I noticed a crack near where I plug the charger into the phone. At first I thought it was a seam where the plastic came together so I didn't worry about it. Now I have noticed that the phone has developed several small cracks around the edge (near the volume rocker and at the top corner.). I have never dropped it and have always taken care of it.
Today I did a quick search and found that this is a problem others have reported so I gave Sprint a call to find out what could be done. They said to bring it into the closest sprint store which is 70 miles away. The only other option they gave was to call Samsung. So I did.
Samsung said they could repair the phone but they needed to take my credit card info and would charge me if it was due to damage and I wouldn't have my phone for over a week! Needless to say I am beyond frustrated. I am a loyal Samsung customer... Have 2 galaxy s2 phones ( for my kids) a Tab2 and just got the Note 10.1. I am even considering upgrading to the note II when it comes out. I am completely concerned about the quality of plastic that they are using in this phone and am reconsidering my loyalty.
Guess I have to take it back to sprint when I am close to their store to get anything done without having to give a credit card or be phone less for a week! What a pain in the arse! Should I un-root my phone before doing this to avoid the inevitable "warranty" - issue?
Are there others that have noticed these cracks and gotten any resolution from Samsung or their carriers?
Mine has a crack

i was just wandering never dropped the phone so how could it break but i even saw it with a magnifying glass it is surely a crack
gotta complain samsung to use such a cheap quality product
Hello there. I have bought my Samsung Galaxy SIII a few weeks ago ( about 2 weeks if I'm nt mistaken) and I love it very very much. And I've also bought some case to protect it since the 1st day. And currently I'm using the case mate pop for it. However, today when I take a look at my SIII I found out that the the earpiece is slightly slanted to the right and it formed a quite a huge gap. And between those gaps I can see something silver and chrome like inside of it. I think it is the inner parts of the phone related to the earpiece. I have no idea how this happen because I'm using my SIII everyday untill today I noticed this.
I've never dropped my SIII and I take very good care of it. The only thing I did was taking out the case mate pop and I applied slight pressure to it because it was a little hard to take off. I'm wondering is this the reason that causes the slant and gaps? And I wanted to know if others had the exact same problem or am I thinking too much and didn't notice it the 1st day until today? I'll attach some pictures so you guys can take a closer look. I need some advice guys I'm desperate! Thanks in advance.
*EDIT* I also found out that I can slightly move the earpiece. Just a little bit. But still I cant make it to close the gap and that silver thingy. Is it suppose to be a little bit loose?
You have only one advice outside of ignoring it .

Thank you for the quick reply. Yes I'm still under warranty. Should I tell them it happened or I made it?
Not sure what u meant by case mate pop... but I wouldn't tell: most repair consultants wouldn't know unless its clear u used a screw driver to move the eat piece.

The case mate pop is a case for the S3 which is made in Taiwan. It's quite popular in youtube alot of people are doing reviews for it. I put the case in it and it was easy. But then when I tried to take it off it was hard. So I have to apply slight pressure on the top of my phone.
Do you think that the pressure is what causes this? And do you have the silver thing on the right corner of your S3? Thanks in advance.

Not sure if I understand this correctly. Can this "silver thing" be seen inside of the 3.5mm jack input, or on the far right corner of the S3? If it's in the headphones port, it could be the connector for the jack-plug you see, which is normal.
Could you by any chance provide a picture of the damaged area?

I've look into the 3.5mm jack input and I can't seem to find anything related to it as the silver thing is on the right corner of the earpiece. Just below it. And what do you mean on the far right corner?
I think everything is normal in the 3.5mm jack input. Yes I've attached some thumbnails in the 1st post. I wanted to know if anybody has this problem or isit only my S3 that has this? Its wierd I don't notice it until I remove my case and it appeared out of no where. It's quite visible too.
I never see it before when I'm not using the case. I tired to push the earpiece and it seemed to move a little but I cant get it to cover that silver thing. If you look closely at my thumbnails, you can see that the earpiece is somehow slanted a little bit which is the reason why the silver thing is visible. It's underneath the earpiece. Thank you.

Let me start by saying I know am a bit ocd. The top of my screen is raised above the metal. Not a lot, but enough to notice every time I pull the notification bar down. Is this common with all of yours or a flaw with my unit in particular. I can feel the sharp edge of the glass when I pull down.
mine too. And there is scraping around the head phone jack hole.

It's a flaw. My top it's fine, but my bottom speaker is raised very so slightly. I don't mind the bottom, to be honest I kind of like it, it's easy for me to tell which side is witch by feel.

My screen is also raised a bit from the speaker grills, but I don't mind it. Will this hurt the phone, should I return or us it one of those personal choices?
Sent from my HTC One
My screen is very slightly raised at the top, very very slightly, and at the bottom it is lower than the spkr grille by exactly as much as it is above it at the top. I consider it to be perfect.
I have it too, it's one of those things that's probably a defect but I like. When I take it out of my pocket it's handy to be able to tell which side is the top with my thumb as I take it out.
On a side note though: I've unlocked the BT and flashed a recovery/rooted, I take it there's no way for me to return it even if I wanted to?

We have a 30 day law here, but the stupid companies have so weakened it that they can easily skirt around it.
the top of my screen is a little raised. not that big of a deal to me though. i doubt id be able to walk into an AT&T store to get a replacement since i have the 64GB version and i dont want to deal with the hassle of shipping it back to AT&T. plus i already paid for 2 years of insurance through ensquared.
