[poll] what is your ideal phone body size? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i personally feel like a phone thats over 5 inches is way to big.. (aka the SGSIII, the screen isnt the issue, its the total size of the body). i want a phone i can use one handed.. if i need to press something on the other side of the screen, i either need to adjust my grip, or use my other hand.. its just way to big.
i think the Galaxy S1 had the right size.. they should have kept the screen, and just made the body smaller each time, till they got to barrel-less bodies.
heres the poll, this is a question about phone BODY size, not screen size. i think we can all agree the more of the phone is made up of screen, and less extra body, the better.

one hand operation vs screen size, you have to compromise any one of that for sure.
may be in future bezeless designs we can get both of thes come together

Big hands.

How many big handed users are on here? I had a note-spotting last night at a bar, guy had normal hands and it made the note look huge. I am used to seeing my phone in my grubby paws, so it looks how a phone should.
How many people on here have big, fat, stupid hands?
Picture for reference.

I guess my mitts are bigger than average, but it only took about a week to get used to the size.
It's crazy how small everyone elses phones look now.

Gelaskin for Xperia S

Hello,
did you ever seen gelaskin for Xperia S?
http://www.gelaskins.com/store/phones/Sony_XPERIA_S/collection/Most_Popular/pg/3
What i'm not sure about it, is that there is the sticker on the soft touch keys too.
What do you think? They still work?

i think so... its not part of screen , then there should be skin if that appears there i wonder the screen .. it should be wallpaper
My guess would be the buttons are affected. you could leave that part off i guess.
i got gelaskin for about 2 months now...Yeah it sticks on the screen too, it doesn't really affect the capacitative keys though, feels like it has the same responsiveness. I swipe the keys though but still the same.
btw Gelaskins are a little overpriced and overrated in my opinion. I took it all off except for the back.
I go to there for the wallpapers..
I ordered one , it will arrive in 6 days
I will let u know how is it when i try it ?

My custom wooden book case for Galaxy Tab (pics)

I owned this case for my Kindle for a few years now. Since I know have a Galaxy Tab, I figure I could retire the Kindle. The Kindle and Tab are almost the same size, the tab is a bit taller and slightly thicker so in order for my to make this work, I had to shave off a bit of the wood on the corners.

Heres the end result. It fits pretty good but I might get one of those invishield for added protection. I'm almost half tempted to get a hold of Pad & Quill (they're the ones who make these) and see if they'd consider actually making these for our Tab2, maybe if we'd order them in bulk they'd be willing to.
Wow! Well done dude! Congratulations!! :good:
Nice !

Change area of usability in LCD touch screen

Would it be possible to edit android source code lets say for the Galaxy S to only use a certain portion of the lcd screen. Say much like changing the resolution but creating it so only say 1 inch down would be usable. The rest inoperative.
Just curious if this is a hardware or software thing.

If you knew enough you could do it from either. Why?

[XP] Xperia P Puro Hard Case

Puro offers 3 different cases for Xperia P: 'Professional', 'Clear' and 'Case'. The 'Case' model, which I have got, costs around $10. Here are some photos.

The case is made of silicone, sits tight on the phone.
The camera collects dust easily, but that is a weakness of the phone model itself.
In this area the case is loose and vulnerable. They could leave the SIM slot hidden after all.
Buttons are hidden under the case, one must get used to the specific action of hidden buttons. The second step of the camera button is quite hard to feel, actually.
I like this case. It offers serious amount of protection and hides scratched black aluminum edges of the phone effectively.
