I recently Bought a Switcheasy Nude (Clear) Case for My galaxy s3 and Cleaned out both the case and the phone real good before putting on the case. Still, There were annoying air bubbles between the phone and the case. No Matter what I did, They would not go away... Any Suggestions How to get rid of them?
Here are the Pictures:

Use a credit card to press it over the phone, move the bubbles to the corners/borders.
Its Not a Screen Protectot Bubble mate, Its between the CASE and PHONE
I'm sorry, didn't noticed that. I thought it was a film.
Maybe it's a manufacturing error. Or some dirt that is stuck there and you could not wipe. I've never seen any of those cases, but to me, it seems to be some kind of oil. What did you used to clean it?
Maybe someone in the section dealing with accessories would have an answer .

I once saw a thread for a MDA cover, it actually goes on the fone, the pictures they had showed that it was white. goes on like skin i beleive it was made of silicon. and i saw it on here once and i want to buy it now but i cant find the thread for it. does anyone know where i can find it? or know of something similar that works good? thank you
I got mine at pda-den.
Thanks =)
i found it. thanks. but quick question the one on here has a clear screen. does it work good??
screen
It is a polycarb or plexiglass flip. It's fine, just prone to scratching like all the others.
Isn't there a version without the flip?

not that I know of.
I actually bought that MDA case and really had a tough time making it stay on (just the back part).
It appears that the back part is too small... I actually ended up breaking the little "anchor" that is supposed to clip on by the spacebar. For a while I tried to just tape it on, but ended up giving up... the case is just sitting in a drawer in my desk now...
overall, I was pretty displeased with the fit of the case...
I was searching around and could not find a gel/TPU type clear case for the G1...for those of you who do not know...here is one example of a Nexus One case like what I would want:
http://cgi.ebay.com/2-Soft-Case-TPU...t=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item746a91e417
I know they do not show a completely clear one, but that is the material/type of case I would like. It is not like a typical silicone case -it is slightly like a hard case being that it does not bend as easily and it is not floppy at all.
Any ideas?
Heres the problem that I see...
How would you open the keyboard with that cover overlapping the front of the phone? That would probably be the reason those style covers don't exist for the G1.
As my fellow Oregonian said.. Soft cases and a slide keyboard won't really work.. If you look at the hard shells you'll see how the screen has it's own little part that clips on.. soft shells wrap instead of clip on...
I fail to see why they could not have a separate piece to put on the screen...?
If there is no such case... then could someone recommend a thin, yet tough, hard case? (preferably clear)
soft cases can't clip onto the screen part that has to slide up...
but here's something i found with decent reviews for the other colors.. clear hasn't been rated yet

Yeah I understand what you mean and thanks for that info...but - I was thinking not of a soft case 'clipping' onto the screen but you could slip a cover over it or around it -I am SURE there is some way to do it....

LOL WOW THANK YOU!!!! How did you find that ? it should not be labeled as silicone (I think)..... wow that is exactly what I am looking for! I knew it was possible.... any way - I wish it didnt cost so much, the others I see like it(on other phones) is significantly cheaper (like under $5.00 with shipping included).... If I cannot find any cheaper ones I will order that one...
Thanks again, I cant believe you found just what I was looking for...

yea that case is rocking . I as well was looking for something like this! Thanks!! hey erebusting did you order it? did ya like it?
I ordered the clear one, and it came in yellowish like it was old or like someone was smoking around it or something.... the seller gave me a refund because he said they had no more, but I think that all the clear ones were just as yellow ? who knows....
also when you hold the phone in portrait mode on the top right and left corners of the keyboard section the case left a small gap on each side maybe about 1-2 millimeters as if it was slipping off...
Other than all that I liked it, but would not use it because it makes my phone look yellow / ugly... if I had a case like that with these flaws fixed then I would use it.

LMAO...Reading this was funny for some reason
Can you post some pictures? And would you recommend it? I am looking for a new case for my phone, and this one is one that I am considering
I had this case. I had a screen protector on, and the extra height of the screen protector made the screen portion of the case slip off. If you don't use a screen protector, it might work for you. I bought a Seidio case and never looked back. Super thin, rugged plastic. Comes in black so it blends into the phone.

zinite, I understand that, but see I do also have a screen protector on but the section of the case which goes on the screen is fitting fine, the section for the body is the part I have the complaint about. I will definately check out some Seidio cases now that you have mentioned that.
SolemnWishing, Here are some pictures of the case next to a clear hard case (which is actually clear and not yellow...)
Ace42, glad you got a laugh! haha...BTW I am wondering why you were laughing though, kind of odd to me ATM...
WOW! that case is really yellow. i was thinking about getting one thinking it wont be that yellow. but that is definitely gross smoker yellow
Dang... it looks like someone left that out in the sun for like a year or something..
Guess you know what happens to these cases when you have em for awhile... I've long given up on G1 cases: with a simple screen protector you should be on your way. I love the feel of the back of the G1, and a case would only screw that up.

I also love the feelings of the G1 without a case, but I have dropped my previous phones too many times to take that chance... haha
Any ways... Those pictures are from the same day of receiving that case, so it must be some fault on the seller....
its really a disappointment since there are no other cases (that I can find that is) like that for the G1...
any other recommendations/ideas?
Hi guys,
I just updated to SGSII an today i got the package from the courier. But i think the seal from the box has been tempered with (by the store) with hot air i think. So i have some questions:
1. The SGS had on the SIM metal a blue plastic protection foil...the SGSII dosen't..it should?
2. Can you find out how many factory resets has been made?
3. Can you recover partial or full data after a factory reset?
If you have any tips on how to verify a phone to see if it was used, pleas share.
Thanks.

1) Well yes, the foil on on the screen (with the amoled logo etc.) was perfectly apply with no air bubbles, the one on the back on the glossy portion was sloppy and with air bubbles and one big one that cover the back and sides with a grab lid for getting the phone out of the box... sloppy too. No visible use marks on the 3 battery pads. No scratches anywhere except for a light one on the label under the battery. The back lid wasn't close properly, one of the tow little feets that goes first when you close the lid was outside.
2) No, i think a was factory reset made. Thats why i asked if you can see if and how many FR has been made.

mate all honesty if you think your phone was tampered with before you had it delivered i would make a complain to the company you bought it from and send it back....give them a call and explain to them what happened and how you found the packagiing when your handset came and see what they say...
keep me posted
This is what im trying to find out, if what i find out could be from sloppiness of the factory assembling operators or some wise ass from the retail company.
LE: I don't think i will resolve anything with the retailer. From theyr point of view the seal was not broken.

Let the battle begin!!!!!
I think your right and someones opened it.Mine to (just like my i9000) came with the blue plastic cover over the sim Tab and if the battery cover wasnt properly put back in I think someone has had a play with it.The problem will be trying to prove it once yourve opened it.Good luck anyway mate.
In my case, with my carrier locked version, it was in a re-sealed box indicating that it had been inspected. Probably a CYA move on the part of the carrier in case of manufacturing defect, but at least I was informed on the outside of the sealed plastic that this was done.

Thanks guys.
I bought this case:
http://www.amazon.com/rooCASE-Leath...KP1G/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1326056034&sr=8-1
I ended up returning it. It's a nice case, but it left scuff marks all over my NT. I haven't been able to remove the marks with Goo-Gone or isopropyl alcohol. Any ideas on how to clean the NT?
Same **** happened to mine not sure what to do about it tho.
OH wow, talk about timing - I was just asking this exact case in another thread on this very forum. Sorry to hear about that - hopefully you left a note in the reviews to warn others.

Good call. I'll go ahead and do that sometime.
thanks for the warning, was going to pick up one of these since there's a ton of positive reviews for the nook color
Ugh thanks for the heads up. I checked mine and found 2 tiny marks. It's such a secured case though so I just taped the sides.

Same here. Looks ugly when I take the device out of the case. But at the end of the day, I don't worry too much about it. I mean it is gonna always stay inside the case for me, ugly marks are all hidden.
I had this problem just leaving the nook in the box it came in. Where the microfiber was sitting on it, the edge turned black and scuffed. It's an unfortunate material choice. Probably better off to keep it in one in a case that covers the edges, so you won't ever see it.
Wow I bought the same case and got the same marks.
I also tried alcohol. Im at my wits end. Almost tempted to use some kind if abraisive, but dont want to hurt my nook's finish.

Seriously?
So, I bypassed this issue after hearing about the stain issue on the Roocase from this thread.
So, to get around the problem, I got an Otterbox Commuter, and put velcro on the back of it. It gives me Otterbox-level protection with the ability to have a stand that will hold it in portrait or landscape mode. Since the stand originally just uses velcro for this it functions exactly as it originally did.
I just got vecro adhesive tape from the local WalMart and put 2 strips on the middle part of the back of the Otterbox.
One thing I like about the case is that it has a little pocket that fits a microfiber screen cleaner cloth in a small plastic envelope.
I tried cleaning the dust from in between my I9300's screen and bezel with a paper and got 2 bits of paper stuck in there. I've tried everything but can't seem to get them out for the life of it. It actually looks like they've gone under the screen? Is that even possible? I'm dreading the sight of my phone now because I'm very OCD about such stuff. Also, the dust doesn't seem to want to go with paper or a tooth brush? What's up with that?
ANY help would be highly appreciated.
Thank you!
My first suggestion is don't listen to anyone that suggests using sticky tape, this will leave sticky residue.
You could try cutting the bits of paper away with razor blade, but really I think a measure of perspective is needed here.
Have you tried a blast of compressed air to try clearing dust?
Also I suspect that the bonding between screen layers doesn't extent to the very edges, and so it may be possible that the dust has got between the layers at the very edges.
Most important though is to try and focus on something else more joyous and appreciate your luck in simple being able to afford to own such a device.
Indeed. I am thankful. However, I would really want this fixed.
Doesn't blowing air send the dust under the screen?
Thanks.
If your not happy and can live without your phone for a week send it off to be repaired.
My suffers from the same bad dust problem around the edges, I intend after the New Year to get it sent off to be sorted, not because the dust actually bother me much, more because of it resale value when it comes to the time to sell it on.
S1 & the S2 never suffered this problem, but there seems to be a few S3's that do.
Edit
Also if you do manage get shut of it it will only return again.
