Cracked casing already?? - Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)

I just noticed on my phone that the whole silver casing on my white S3 is cracking in atleast 10 places. I have not dropped the phone at all and it just started doing this. I took it to sprint and they said they have no idea whats happening so I called customer service and they're sending me a new one.
Sooo has this happened to anyone else?? Look at the sides real carefully and please reply!

Unfortunately, this has been happening with numerous S3s in Europe prior to our US release. No clue there why either.

I checked mine carefully and I have what looks like 4 seams, one in each corner. Almost positive they came with the phone tho.

I have the same four seams. Don't see any cracks on my device, luckily. I've been using the pebble blue 16GB S3 since the 21st.

Hmm yeah mine has the 4 seams as well. Are all of yall's the blue version?? Mine is white but i doubt that makes a difference.

Mine is white too. Hopefully you can get a replacement soon and the rest of us don't develop this problem

Can someone please post a picture of these seams?
Thanks..

Seam is kinda hard to see in the first picture.

Holy Hell.. well can't argue Samsung isn't using cheap plastic build quality. I thought they were on top of it. The sgs3 seems so Damn fragile with the weaker screen and plastic compared to my s2.
It's like pick your poison. Get an s3 that has great specs and software/hardware enhancements but it'll crumble in your hands.
Or evo that has great specs and camera but it has sense 4, resource hungry and will die without warning.

Wow, almost seems like the phone was bent or something.
Did you sit on it?
It also could be thermal expansion issues. Did your phone ever get excessively hot?

I have a blue with 4 seams. That 2nd picture with the cracks is crazy. I remember when the first Nexus came out this was happening and Google said not to put your phone in your pocket. Maybe no more skinny jeans for you.

Jeez, found the first thing about the phone to make me think twice. Still getting it though.

yea i have the 16g blue and it looks like cracks /seams on all 4 corners, are yours in the corners also? i haven't dropped it or I don't use skinny jeans lol so maybe that's how they made them?

The 1st thing i did out of the package was inspect the blue S3 and automatically noticed those 4 seems however I just took it as that's how is was manufactured and not a defect.

Mine does it too, and Samsung will not replace it under warranty for whatever reason. They want me to pay to replace it, but don't know if the replacement part has the nfc. AT&T offered to replace the phone under warranty as I am well past my 30 days. It just pops off on its own, real annoying.

The reason it happens is because you've broken either one or several of the clips on the cover itself. Happens on mine too.

On my second Note now. I exchanged the first one for a crack about an inch or two below the power button. The replacement has now developed a crack right at the power button.
So Samsung can say whatever they want about it not being a known issue - but it is an issue. Knock on wood ... my Note has never been dropped, I don't sit on it, and it's treated like it's a 5" piece of glass (which it is).
I got 3 cracks actually...one right on top of the speaker, one right where the power button is, and one right underneath the home button. Idk if these are really cosmetic flaws by Sammy...cos then again i ten to drop my phone all the time lol...Ofcourse it's always been in its folio leather wallet case so it shouldn't have hurt it that much.

Tired of magic and other unexplained phenomenon.

So today I was outside with the kids while they were running around the yard fighting eachother with sticks. My phone rang. I pulled it out of my pocket and dropped it on my porch. My otterbox defender protected my phone as advertised, but, upon impact my s pen shot out of my phone and over the side of the porch.
I immediately jumped over the side of the porch to retrieve it. (My knee still hurts) I haven't seen it since. I am convinced that when I dropped the phone it opened up a wormhole and sent my unsuspecting stylus to another dimension. I've been looking for it for 4 hours. I don't have tall grass or anything else for it to hide in. I've found all kinds of things on the side of my house but not the sizeable white and silver s pen. I even looked on the gutter drain to make sure it didn't stick in the side or something weird.
I wish there was an app that could help me. But alas, there is not.
Sad day... sad day indeed.

They're pretty damn expensive to replace too.
This might sound extreme and can and likely will backfire....but, maybe try and replicate the event by throwing one of the children over the side where the S pen launched. This way you may not only get the S pen back, but hopefully the child will remember important details of their travels and not just get back the important stylus but also help with advances in time travel.
Or they might just land on their head and call child protective services.

First day I had my otterbox on i dropped the phone in a restaurant with that non slip tile. Dropped it from waist height and it hit so hard it chipped the plastic part of the otterbox (under the silicone, but phone is fine.) However! My pen shot literally halfway across the restaurant. I'm pretty sure Samsung put emergency eject technology in our phones, much the same as jets. They can say it's for the safety of our pens, but at ~30 bucks a pop, we know better. Well played, Samsung.

I looked at one in an ATT store, and the plastic bezel was terrible. Didn't line up, gaps, looked like it was cut with a stake knife. Made me not want the phone. Then went to wal-mart, and looked at a t-mobile phone. It was perfect, so I bought it.
I still would like to see a picture. I'm pretty sure I have one but I just want to confirm. Maybe I'm just too anal.
If you want to subject yourself to the OCD torture of the gap issues, there us a thread in the international One forum that has many pictures of the gap.
Also in the at+t forum there is s thread called gapgate. You'll find more pics there as well.
Some I would say are valid while a lot are being really OCD and nitpicking.

I'm not sure if the gap does affect the seal, but all phones have some sort of seal even if they're not intended to be in or around a liquid substance. Sudden changes in climate cause moisture to form, and all manufacturers use measures to prevent it from going beneath the screen. I doubt the gaps affect this, so my rambling on was basically to say that I understand where the concern comes from.

I have a insanely small gap on mine but I decided to live with it since for the last 2 weeks I've examined the screen every day looking for dead pixels. Have found none. Seems like a lot of people are having them so I didn't want to risk getting one with dead pixels. I think it was a good compromise.

The gap is a serious build-quality defect
Folks, this is a serious manufacturing defect build-quality issue in the first batches of the phone that we have got.
There must be ABSOLUTELY NO GAP between the chamfered metal edge and the plastic.
HTC themselves have claimed this, most recently a few days back in a video that they put up themselves boasting of its ZERO-GAP CONSTRUCTION!!!
Those who do not see it or understand the gap in your phone, please see the videos below.
Here you can clearly see the gap:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NwOu5oXpjVQ
And as you can see in the video below, just press your phone at the edge and you can clearly see the gap "closing" (what a shame),
Try it and you will most likely see it on your phone. This is really a shame.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNT1YRcGDL0
Folks this is serious.
I am having this gap too. (I went to the T-Mobile store and even their demo unit had this issue and they said that most of the phones in the batches so far have this issue.)
I am quite surprised by the responses from most of those who responded so far in this thread. Hope I have helped to make aware that these are indeed defective devices that we have got.
You paid a premium price for an expensive device that is supposed to be zero-gap construction and has been been advertised as such by HTC: unibody, precision-cut, diamond-cut, zero-gap construction.
(Here: http://www.htc.com/us/smartphones/htc-one/ and most recently here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QiZMhmIWBRU )
This is a serious build quality issue in the batches of phones that have come out so far.
The sad thing is I showed this to the manager at my local Tmobile store and they said that they are not recognizing this as a defect and will be charging restock fees to exchange.

how bad is it, you can always claim something else is wrong with it. Where did you buy it from?
It's very small. I was able to kind of hide the clear aluminum showing with a black marker. I also just noticed I have 3 dead pixels so maybe that would be enough if they don't really notice the scrapes. I got it from an official AT&T store.

I was within 14 when it fell so I took it back and told them that it was to fragile along the edges, got way to hot (130°) which I screenshot and the headphone jack doesn't work well with FM radio and he said no problem and replaced it and that was that. It was fraud on my end, and I paid good money for a phone that I wanted to keep in mint condition. Haven't dropped the second one yet but I have gaps, which isn't too bad. My advise, go for it and it isnt fraud of there is actually a problem with it anyway.

I ended up trading it in and getting a silver one. I was completely straight with the rep and showed him the scratches which he thought was no big deal and were barely even noticeable. I had to point out the scratch locations since he couldn't even see them at first. I showed him the dead pixels and also the power button which had this awful click sound which drove me crazy. I just had to pay a restocking fee and was good to go.
