Is it just my unlucky pair or are the replacement ones cheap as hell? Paint chipping off everywhere.
I can take my finger nail and graze it... Black part will come completely off. I was extremely rough with my last pair and the only issue was me tearing the black piece at the bottom of the cord.
Anyone else experience this?

I would think you'd have to exchange them. Hard to exchange something that has been lost.

Send me an email with your adress at: [email protected] & I'll send you a set of Kicker earbuds for free. They are at least as good as the ibeats & have comfort foam tips on them.

They may cost $110 in a store, but I have a pair of $30 ones that sound much better. The only thing I like about the iBeats is the quality of materials and the talk control on the cable...

Hey guys, I was just wondering if the headphones come with adjustable in ear buds. I have another set of in ear and I need to use the smallest so I wonder if I could even use them unless they come with different size buds.

So I generally don't start threads because I usually don't get stuck. BUUUUT
I ended up either cracking the red back plate when removing it, or when screwing it down, not sure which, and it doesn't sit right. I get wonky signal issues sometimes because the back covers don't sit right on it.
Anyone have any idea where I might be able to order that back plate? I can't imagine it cost very much, but having complete signal failure because your back cover creaked is retarded.
I spent some time on google and could find every replacement part in the damn phone minus that red back cover.
Thanks!

I just went out on my seadoo rxp this past weekend with evo in tote. Went out in long beach harbor california. Was gonna settle on otterbox small case for 20 bucks but stumbled on a waterproof case down at Walmart for 6. It held registration, wallet, keys, and of course the EVO. Stayed dry all day even through my extreme play.

The exposed surfaces of the phone become what is called hydro phobic (literally "scared of water" but really just repels water). Like how water beads on a waxed car. However, so repelling of water that water can't get through cracks less than about a millimeter or so at close to surface pressures. Your phone has no holes that large but mic jack and USB, and while water goes into the big holes, it can't get past the smaller cracks inside them to get to circuitry.
That's the theory anyway. I'm still not going to try. I just stick my phone in zip lock bag whenever it might be exposed to water, like around the pool or in my sweaty pocket while mowing. Screen still works great, just follow usual precautions about sharp objects near phone (no keys in pocket).

I've used ziplock baggies fly fishing in waders and canoeing a handful of times. Works great for me, except not perfect for taking pictures... Touchscreen works fine through the bag...
When looking at the front speaker, you see the holes the sound comes out of.
On every photo of the phone I have seen, there is an unbroken line of holes, but on my S3, I have 3 holes on the right followed by a gap, and then 13 more holes.
How is yours?

You couldve got the MONO Price buds. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007VEQ2UU/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Best buds for the price. The only downside of them is finding earbuds the work well with your ears. The OEM ones suck. I own a pair of Shure SE215 and they sound so good i sold my $300 Beats by Dr Dre cause they sound better. http://www.amazon.com/Shure-SE215-C...F8&qid=1364053054&sr=8-2&keywords=shure+se215
Sorry I didnt get here in time to show you the best bag for the price. The MONOPrice have high reviews everywhere and ive heard them myself and they sound on par with Klipsch S4
I love my Klipsch S4s, but was pretty impressed with the Sennheiser (Adidas) 680 earbuds which we bought for my wife yesterday at our local Best Buy. They are listed on their web site for a sale price of $49, but they were marked $34.99 in our local store. For the money, I was quite impressed (once my wife let me borrow them for a bit...). She got the earbuds with the little fin, not the over-the-top-of-the-ear version.

Agree.
I have a pair of a-JAYS One+.
These are the best earbuds you can get for your money. They are amazing.
Also if you want to look at a comparison of hundreds of different earbuds here.
I use the Bose In-Ears. They're a bit pricier, but I can't stand ones that seal in the ear canal. The Bose are the most comfortable and best sound quality I've found of ones that just sit in your ear instead of seal.
