Was your SGS III SEALED in the box - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just pick up my 2 SGS III from fedex and I noticed one thing immediately:
The white one I ordered from Expansys-USA and it was not sealed. Should I be worried?
The pebble blue I ordered from Negri and it is completely sealed.
I'm just wondering how many other people received phones in unsealed boxs ?

Mine had stickers sealing both of the smaller edges, but no plastic wrap as far as I remember.

i've got 2 whites
one from expansys and one in a retail shop here in italy
the italian one (vodafone branded) was plastic wrap sealed
the one from expansys has got no plastic around, but still sticker sealed on the edges

The one from expansys only had one sticker sealing one the end and came with an aftermarket generic multi-adapter
But both phones had OEM samsung USA plugs in the box

Maybe you got a demo model or since it's a website maybe just one from an early batch they checked, but about 4 years ago I got an N95 delivered unsealed from Play.com and complained and got a replacement and £15 good will gesture.

My box was not shrink wrapped, but had samsung stickers sealing the box saying 'do not accept if seal broken'. That was from Vodafone in Aus.

Got my white one from Expansys today, and my box only had an (unbroken) seal on one side. I opened the box & got the phone out without even ripping it.
Another thing I find strange: I only got "Quick Setup Instructions", a rathet thin/tiny booklet - but no "real manual" as I used to get that from Vetizon for my SGS2 a year ago... Weird!
Anyone else did get a full-blown "User Manual" ordering from Expansys USA? The SGS2's manual was a booklet as thick as 2 or 3 decks of cards... no such thing now.

Mine is sealed with plastic wrapped around it and also have a sticker from Samsung saying " DO NOT ACCEPT IF SEAL IS BROKEN"

It should be sealed, unless the seller informed you it was a demo unit. Mine was on display in a shop before I bought it. Just check if everything works and you shouldn't worry about it though. *#0*# gets to a test menu.

I bought the white one, and it was completely sealed.

Samsung OEM Book Cover Case for Galaxy Tab 7.7 for $31

TheCellGuru.com - Samsung OEM Book Cover Case for Galaxy Tab 7'7 - Black EFC-1E3NBEGSTA
I found one for only $31.70 + $1.99 Minimum Shipping (they have USPS and FedEx options)
They ship from PA, USA.
I wasn't going to get one based on all the mixed reviews and I wanted a "proper" case with multi-view angles, but for now I guess this will do at this price. At least it's not $45+
Ordered mine from there it was the cheapest i could find.. got it today.. it works.. in the pictures it looks thicker..

Awesome. Thanks!
Can't wait to get the whole set in my hands.
This is by far the cheapest I have found as well.
Thanks,
Hi there! I bought this case for someone else (gift), and I'm not sure if it fits the tablet well (I don't have the tab with me). Are you able to lock the front cover in place? Or is it basically just a flap? If you can post a pic that would be great! Thanks!

Search Youtube for a clip titled "Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 Original Sleeve and Screenprotector Review." (3:03 long) It shows the case in action. (Sorry I can't post links yet cause I'm such a noob.) From that video it doesn't look like the cover locks closed. It does look pretty damn sleak though. I've alread ordered one off eBay.
Price increased

The cover does not lock shut but it does stay shut.

I thought the Samsung bookcase cover for the OG 7" did this a little better. The corners of that one protruded out past the screen just enough for the cover flap to nestle in. The 7.7 cover doesn't flop around like some iPad covers I've seen, but it's not as snug as the Samsung 7".
Anyway, I think 7.7 looks great and performs adequately and is good to have even if it's $20 too much.

A bit out if the subject but i think the following would be a better case than the samsung one. For starters it opens from right to left, as it shoukd,and the cover does not flap open as it has small magnets so it stays closed at all times. It also has easy access to power and vol up/down buttons, ear phone jack, mic, charging slot and speakers as well as the sim and sd slot. There would be no need to removed tad to access anything. The seller will also ship a combo stylus/pen, the stylus has a rubber end and it works flawlesly on the tab. I ordered mine about 2 weeks ago and received it yesterday, it came all the way from china. I originally payed 19.99 but the seller has then raised it 29.99, i guess due to the popularity of the tab. I still think its a very good deal for a very good case.

Are you sure, because OEM stands for "Original Equipment Manufacturer" and since Samsung is the manufacturer (i.e OEM) of both the 7.7 Tab and the 7.7 Book Cover Case, the Case could be considered both the "Original" case as well as being the "OEM" case

I think cases like this where you have slide the tablet in really hide the asthetic beauty and slimness of this devise. They also make it look thicker. The Samsung case is very thin. The tablet snaps in securely and allows you to see how thin the tab is. It doesn't mattervwhich wasy it opens. I can access all ports without taking it ot of the case. Obviously it all comes down to personal preference but I have seen no cases that come close to the Samsung.

I have one and it's excellent. Well mine is branded by Momax, but it's exactly the same. It's back is solid and it's side cling on tight to the phone, inlike the SGP version. It's not that thin though, but not too thick. For a balance of thinness and protection, it's a great combination.

Wow. Then I guess he needs to go shopping at more places. Just sayin'.
Bought one from Keivkev from their ebay store since it was about a buck cheaper with the free shipping. Arrived in 2 days. Interesting how its fine to mention Amazon and best buy in this thread but not a smaller seller. I guess if Jeff Bezos came in here and posted a link to a product on amazon he'd be rediculed as well....
Anyway. Good case. Fits snug. Pressing the buttons isn't as easy as doing it without a case but I guess that's to be expected. Actually maybe it'll be a benefit since I accidentally hit the volume buttons when I'm typing or doing something in lansldscape.
The included screen protector was a suprise as I didn't read the full description. Its made for the international version so it has an opening for its button. I may use it until I get one made specifically for the US model. Overall, worth the 14 bux or so.
Just ordered this case on eBay from kevikev a couple days ago! Can't wait..

eBay has a great selection and variety. I got the i9100 tpu case for a $1.30. The only difference is the top mic hole is in a different spot, which is easy to fix. There is also a small extra hole for the strap, but the i777 doesn't have this. It shipped from Hong Kong and takes around two weeks, but its really cheap. There are also plenty of other cases that you can choose from, just browse eBay.

Hit the various AT&T Corp Stores in your towns. All the cases they have/had for the i777 are on their clearance rack for $5 each. I've picked up 4 cases in 2 different cities for $5/each. CaseMate/Ballistic, all the good aftermarket brands that AT&T sold for $30 when the phone 1st came out. Again, this is for corporate owned AT&T stores. Have no idea about the authorized retailers.
Im using the tpu s line on both this guy and my nokia. Nice and simple, cheap, and primarily not bulky like other stuff out there.
i love my case and its cheap. doent get stuck in your pocket or collect lint. covers the whole housing. very nice tight fit. has an ok design on it. had it for awhile now and its held up great. doesnt make the phone bulky at all either. the case is just right and i love it. was worth the money for sure. i had the cheap 3 dollar silicone case from ebay and that thing sucked so bad i hated it lol. i highly recommend this case to anybody looking for one on the cheap but fits the phone nice and does wut its suppose to

Not $10 but a good deal!
I had a white Case-Mate POP Case for about 7 months but after some drops i wanted to replace it. I purchased the first one from a AT&T store for $35 the day I got my phone and didn't care about price just wanted a case to protect my phone. I recntly purchased this black one from there site for under $20 it was $19 and some change, and I ordered the phone thursday morning and recieved if from Fedex friday afternoon and that was with free shipping. So I know it's not $10, but this is a great case from a good manufacturer. My favorite thing about the case is the stand and the volume and power buttons have great feedback.

Review of fake Spigen Slim Armor View case!

here are all the pictures!
http://imgur.com/a/rtmrX#0
I bought the case just to see how crappy it is, got it from aliexpress for 5 bucks.
I can't compare this with the real case cause I haven't bought it yet, not unless the price comes down. Anyways, for the case.
There are various stains and marks on the case, some I can rub off, some I can't. the flip cover feels very flimsy. The whole case has a matted cheap plastic feel. But the phone does fit inside and the cover closes and stays closed! the problem is that the window isn't flat up against the phone touch screen so you have to push down to flex the cover to use it. Even then it's pretty hard to use. The window itself is also slightly too long on the bottom.
It comes with this little circuit board where you stick it to the back of the pins. There is instructions that says how to orient that circuit board, and it DOES work! But the thing is that the board has a layer of foam tape on it so when you put it in the back, you HAVE to put the backplate back on, otherwise it doesn't provide enough pressure to push the pins into the contacts. This mean if you leave it on long enough, the cheap foam tape will scar the back and you will warp your backplate.
I'll probably give this case to my dad since he's gonna get a note 3 and needs a case right when he gets it, but i imagine he'll break the cover in 2 days. The cover does come off, and it's only held in place by being sandwiched between the black plastic case and the white plastic outer case.
This case comes with some other papers that even says to "authinticate the pro-ouct" lol
Yeah I got one too. Thought it was pretty nice for the prize. But the buldge in the back of the case worried me so i ended up selling for $20 on Craigslist.

I'm not the OP just want to help out.
Original Spigen stuffs sold directly by Spigen or by its authorized resellers, check Spigen web site for confirmation. Original SPigen stuffs equipped with unique serial number which u can use to authenticate your purchase on SPigen website.
Edit.
Advantage / Disadvantage ?
Quality speaks. Spigen material quality far superior and outperform fake one. How to know ? You will know when you touch it.
Bought a fake from aliexpress and it sucks. The Window is too big leaving that gap at the bottom. Mine could fit with the back cover on or off and I had to remove the excess double sided foam tape on the chip provided.
I gave the seller a pretty bad review for the case considering I paid 15 bucks for it. They gave me a total refund and even offered to give me a new one but the screen is not correct according to the seller. Not worth it guys.

Hello!
How come it has got the "authenticate product" tag?! Is it just for show? Have you tried to authenticate the case? I'm thinking of buying such a case from a shop which is not an authorised seller of spigen products (but it boasts of selling authentic ones) and I'm just curious because it looks like the tag does not give you the 100% guarantee that it's original.

Samsung S-view cover sale $16.10

I wanted to share this deal with everyone if you want an authentic s-view cover for a lot less than most retailers. You can't beat this cover for $18. I purchased this from paydeals during their last deal a month or so ago and I love it. They do sell the real product even though it comes in a plastic bag and you can process through Amazon for payment.
Oh and drive the price down to $16.10 by using code FPTCAYMN. Thank you nfl46!

How can you tell? Stiching and build quality seems good, but it came in a zip lock case without protective film over the plastic window. I'm getting a note 3 on Monday so well do an Ota with T-Mobile and see if it works (fake ones were not supposed to work on kitkat)
It works perfect on mine and I have a friend that has an original that he bought from Samsung and it's the same exact one. Been using it for well over a month without a hiccup.
Mine came in the same bag. Most of their stuff doesn't come in retail package but everything is legit!

the first update 4.1.2 to 4.4.2didn't work, there was a minor 4.4.2 update about 2 weeks after that worked, I had about 8 s view case, all had different ic, they all work now.
is any of these 8 genuine? maybe you can spot wheter its a fake
Honestly I have not heard of anything on Paydeals being fake. Most customers are happy except the few who didnt research before buying, but that is normal.
Links not working for me, can anyone post the link again to the black s view case? Thanks.
