Hi, what about your case ? Do you have any review ?
I hope that you get it now
Thanks
Anyone that ordered one get it yet and can post even minor details/thoughts about it? MUCHHHHHH appreciated.
Got my case finally, been living with it for 2 days. doesn't make the phone much bigger or heavier. Annoying part is how tight the cover flip is. the cover flip has a ridge that goes over the side of the phone to keep it shut. unfortunately, it's really tight. It takes some effort to open it (not handy when trying to answer a call) and it sometimes pushes the power, volume, or camera buttons when opening or closing. I'm hoping that it will loosen up after some time.

I completly agree, have the same Problem here.
BUT I was able to bend it some more mm, so its now easier to open and Close, which wasn't possible without bend the gum.
Any chance of a pic? How does it attach to the back?

I bought a used Vibrant on eBay, and it came with a broken piece of glass on the camera. It had a nice little 'Y' shape right in the middle that caused a nasty glare in any pictures with a light source shining on it. So I looked at the site known for selling the front-facing cameras, and sure enough, they have the camera glass as well:
http://www.globaldirectparts.com/Samsung-S-i9000-Camera-Lens-p/smsng6087120.htm
Unfortunately, they've also got a min quantity of 5, and more shipping than is strictly necessary, turning my $3 part into a $30 part. So, long story short, I've got 3 extra camera lenses (I'm keeping an extra one, just in case). Anyone want them? I'm thinking $7 a piece shipped in a normal envelope would work. PM if interested. All sold. Feel free to post here if you do a min buy and need to sell extras
For posterity, here's how to do it (though it's pretty obvious once you try):
1. Open the back according to the instructions in the hardware GPS fix thread (you may want to do the GPS fix at the same time, if you haven't already). I found it easiest to start prying the back off from the bottom of the side with the power button, and then work around the bottom to the other side, and the up.
2. Looking at the inside of the back piece, remove the black sticker from around the camera glass bezel's feet. See picture 2.
3. Pry up the 3 metal feet of the camera glass bezel so that they stand as straight up as you can get them. See picture 3.
4. Flip the back piece over so that you can see the bezel, and pop it off. Underneath where it was, the glass is adhered to the back. Gently but firmly pry it off. See picture 4.
5. Replace the glass, stick the bezel back on, flip it over and bend out the bezel feet again, put the sticker back on, and reassemble the phone.
Easy.

Camera lens just broke, need a replacement!
So I dropped my SGS and unsurpisingly the camera lens cracked. Thanks for putting up this tutorial on how to replace the lens though, as I've been looking for something like this for a while.
Any chance you still have any extra lenses? If not I may just buy 5 and then see if anyone else needs the others as you've done.
Cheers!
I'm all out now, I even sold the one I was thinking of keeping as extra. I guess it took about two months to sell them, but I did eventually. Someone else needs to bite the bullet now
I may just bite that bullet. Wondering if anyone else here would need some. I see 1-2 peeps so far

Hey, I might be in for one as well. I was the guy that bought the last remaining one from OP, but It might be lost in the mail. I was going to wait it out a few more days and then find a new source.
If u find a new source, please post a link. Ive searched for days and couldn't find anything.
I haven't purchased the lens covers yet as I'm having a pretty strong moral objection to the shop wanting to charge $35 dollars to ship 5 tiny pieces of plastic to me.
I hate these bloody "shipping and handling" scammers and don't really want to give them any of my money.
I'm still looking for other options and will post if I find anything.
SIGH* searched all over, can't find anywhere that sells this one piece.
an alternative is to buy the backplate housing which includes the lens piece, but that wouldn't be a cheap solution.

My suggestion would to just be buy the lot and put the ones you dont use on ebay... I'm sure somewhere out there someone also needs this pieces. Yeah your not gonna get your money back right away ... but hey you can jack up the price 5 bucks and make some money off someone hahaha
has anyone took one for the team yet?...
I had a very messed up camera lens. Bought a phone from ebay with an unusably scratched camera lens. Used a nail buffer. it took a lot of elbow grease and I rounded it off a bit, but the camera doesn't seem to be distorted and now work perfectly.
used one like this:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0..._m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0PAX4CKESB6JYP1QTJEP
first you start with the coarse side. you have to work at it for a while. there will be a shrinking circle in the middle of the lens that buffer can't get to at first. you have to work at it for like 10 min to resurface the entire area. Once you've roughed up the whole lens move on to the next finer side... work all 4 sides for about 5 min each, or so... and you should be good.
wet sanding would probably work better... but this is a pretty damn good fix using something you probably already have laying around the house.
I bought the Platinum Series case from Best Buy for the EVOLTE and it is alright however it does not allow the camera button to depress enough to activate the shutter. If anyone else has gotten this case let me know if you are running into the same situation so that I can return mine!

My brother in law and I bought this same case. I tested the camera button on mine, and while I think I have to press a little harder to take a picture with the case than without it, I can definitely take pictures with the case on.
My brother in law noticed something on his that does not appear to happen with mine. When his phone is in the holster, tugging on out a bit can cause the holster clip to press the power button on the phone and therefore turn it on. Mine doesn't appear to have this problem.
Besides that problem, the case and holster appear to be top quality.
Scott
I think you need to press more towards the center of the phone to get the button to push down fully. I am able to do the multi-shot pictures just fine.

I have the Seidio Surface case (same as the BB Platinum series case) and I have not had any problems with any of the buttons. I do, however, prefer the OG EVO's Surface case that did not cover up the buttons. As stated above, though, it's still a very solid, quality case.
I am able to get it to work but it takes a very hard press...makes me feel like I'm going to break it.
The past 2 cases I have bought for my OG Evo, one of the springs in the clip usually break within 6 months. Although I like the case, I don't really want to keep replacing the clip and the case be remarkably good for the beating I put it through.

So I just found that he has version 2 of the platinum holster ,and I have version 1. (Underneath the clip that holds the phone in, there is a model #. His ends in 2, mine in 1). That may be why his turns his phone on and off with a jiggle, and mine does not.

I have a 1 and it does that if you slide the phone out with out holding the clip

Not sure if you guys have the best buy version of the surface or active case. I have the Seidio Active case and I don't have any turning off problems so far. My holster does have a two at the end model number. Here is a pic of the clip that shows how a portion was recessed so it doesn't sit on the power button. Hope this might help someone.

Just to let you guys know, the power button on the case sometimes holds down the power button on the phone. This was my case. Simple fix is to cut off the power button guard on the case....problem fixed. I did this to the camera button as well. Also, I think it looks better this way too
What is the best way to remove this case? For some reason i cannot remove the case. I have the HD zagg on im wondering if that is my problem.

I had some trouble getting mine off the first time. It seemed to have snapped together a little to good. I took a razor blade and slid it in the gap between the 2 pieces right in the middle where they snap together. I just lifted up slightly on the top piece and I could hear it disconnect from the bottom piece. Came right off after that.

hey guys like the thread title states I'm looking for a bumper. I recently got an Aluminum one I found here on xda and I'm incredibly happy I can finally have some sort of a case on with my extended battery but it impacts the gps on my phone enough where I'd like to find a replacement. Upon further reading have found a couple threads about bumpers with some that I really like but they all seem to have the cutout to fit an antenna in the corner which I hear apparently the chinese version of the s2 has. The aluminum bumper I have now does not have such a cut out. I'd like to basically find a bumper exactly like this one (http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/sa...sung-galaxy-s2-case-neo-hybrid-ex-series.html) but without the hole in the corner. I'll probably just end up ordering that bumper anyways but any help would be much appreciated. =D
Which case do you have now? I got a ikuba bumber case and my gps is fine.
I am using the bumper shown in this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1417661) If you look there are pictures in that thread ,some posted by me, which show that it lacks the antenna hole the plastic/silicone case I linked in my OP has. I can't seem to get a good lock on my gps after putting it on. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't but either way it takes too long to make it worth it. I don't think it blocks the gps waves only impairs or bounces them a bit, I think this because before putting it on when I opened the google maps app it would say "accurate up to ten meters" or "accurate up to 5 meters" now it usually says "accurate up to 30 meters" sometimes even "accurate up to 50 meters". This wouldn't bother me but when I switch it to gps mode so it actually gives me directions as I drive it just says "lookiung for gps" on the bottom for a full minute sometimes more sometimes not moving from this screen at all. Maybe the case is not really made of alluminum because it's cheaper to manufacture other metals in china. (the case I'm using was shipped from and presumably made in china) I'm guessing from the lack of response that I'm probably going to have to deal with the antenna hole, I was really hoping for a US manufacturer maybe that doesn't cater to Chinese phone models.
The one I'm using now signal for indoor is around 40feets and out door its around 30 feet.

I just ordered one off eBay. Aluminum alloy bumper with tripod hole. Plan to do a review once I reach my 10 posts. can't even provide a linky yet, but it's sold by rpas5404. It's for the i9100, but I'm quite sure it'll fit. I have the i777.
This bumper does have the corner cut out, I just realized. But that doesn't bother me.
Just found this and I reckon it might just fit. Anyone try it? I may be the guinea pig if not.

They look awesome but be aware that if you're trying to also use them to listen to music, you'll have to do your own adjustments to the case. The headphone jack is slightly in a different spot between the two phones. Then again, that case might just work, it doesn't show a top view so it's hard to say if it has just a small circle cutout for headphone jack or if it has the whole top exposed.
This case supports phones up to 4.7" screen size and will definitely work with our phones headphone jack. Check out the top cutout

Anyone know of any armbands that would work with a heavy duty case on the phone, such as the Defender?
Been following this thread. Has anyone that fits with the Otterbox Commuter? Thanks
Sorry for the long delay. So here it is. First impressions on the band are good. I had a belkin strap for an iPod nano years ago so I trusted the brand. The material is stretchy and form fitting. No worries of the Evo sliding out. Headphone jack is unobstructed. Plastic face is sturdy but pliable so it can bend and flex without suffering those white creases and marks plastic can get. I've gone running with this several times and found that its comfortable and not cumbersome. The plastic face doesn't hinder use of the touch screen although there is some play so you have to press a little firmer to touch the screen. The one thing that does take getting used to is the use of the volume keys. There aren't any cut outs or what have you for the volume keys and the face around the touch screen adds some material to get through so you have to "find" them but once you get comfortable with there position its not that big of a deal. When I was finished running I took a look inside the pocket. It did feel moist from sweat but not damp. The phone back remained dry with no visible traces of water but your milage may vary. I use this with my phone naked but I took pictures to show that my androidified cruzerlite case fits without too much hassle however I haven't tried using it with the case so no word on how it changes functionality. All around I'm extremely happy with it especially since its for the Galaxy S3. Theres a key holder, looks good. So there you have it.

I just received my replacement case from Otterbox today. May I say "WOW", much improved over the launch case. The new case seems to have shaved the slightest bit of plastic from the sides to make it a kind of struggle to clip together. I don't know about you guys (or the ladies), but I like a case that holds my phone firmly. That's not all though, I noticed that the foam pieces they adhere to the back plate are a little thicker than the original as well. Now for the shell, this thing is wicked hard to get off the plastic now (may cause the power and headphone port flaps to break a little quicker). It feels a little more "plasticy", but it is a huge improvement over the former almost elastic rubber. Just figured I'd let you guys know, Otterbox is finally getting things right.

Anyway, when I broke the holster, I inadvertently pushed my phone to the ground and broke the screen (landed just right on the top right corner). They ended up sending me a full replacement, and apologized profusely about my phone. I was honestly going to get a different case, but when I received my replacement, I was more than happy with the improvements in quality.

In the same boat fellas - on my second replacement case after the originals charger port broke off. Judging by the look of the port now, the same thing is going to happen AGAIN.
The replacements we recieved haven't been revised - the rubber intially felt diffferent but over time as it wears and oils from the hands or other substances are transferred it took on the same feel as my older case.
To be sure I followed up with the Otter rep that handled my replacement. This is the response I recieved back from Otterbox:
"Hi Marcus,

We are however constantly looking at ways to improve on all of our products and the silicone issue has been brought to our attention from loving customers like you.

Yeah just received my third replacement since launch. One thing I will say is they stand behind their warranty. After the first complaint they sent me 2 silicone replacements, then after both of those suffered from the same problem as the original, they just sent me a whole new case. Hard shell and all. It sucks that they don't work like they are supposed to, but as long as they keep replacing them free of charge I guess I can't complain too much.

I just filled out the warranty for my third replacement as well. The usb flap last a few weeks before it starts to tear and by about two months the rubber is very loose.
Otterbox is GREAT about their warranty!! I've had multiple replacements on multiple devices! They never question you or give you any problems. I bought a used black Commuter on ebay just because I knew I could get a new one directly from Otterbox in exchange for the used one! Saved me some money in exchange for a little wait time. Got a new case for less than half price, actually MUCH less than half of the retail price!!

After this happened the first time, I was extremely careful whenever I grabbed the phone from my pocket, or whenever I pressed the volume rocker in an effort to extend the life of the slip cover... and it did last 2 months longer than the original slip cover did.... but still it eventually warped. I realize the 3rd slip cover is going to be no different.... but why not get one more slip cover before my warranty expires?
honestly, I dont care that the charging port flap breaks, frankly it's annoying having that flap so I like it when it finally breaks off.
I'm really tempted to just ditch the otterbox case and take my chances with the bare phone (this phone is one of the better looking phones out there).... but then every couple of weeks I'll drop the phone and remember that's why I bought an otterbox case.
Trident case Kraken. That is my next one after I run out of slip covers. I love popping out the plastic and using Zagg hd shields though.
