P.S
You get 1 replacement per accessory.

Did this today as well after I noticed mine had a stain or something on the beautiful white...
Can you just request any cover or do you need to tell them there's something wrong with it? Mine's a little dinged especially around the camera.
I called on Monday and got my battery cover on Thursday. She was very helpful and even gave me the white one knowing I already had the black one. She said, "sure, add a little color right!" Their service is quite good. I'll hold off on the charger cable and battery for a few months.
Hmm going to try and call today, I have white back cover but I want black also, do I call T-Mobile or HTC

do they ask for the battery cover part number? reason i ask is because i have my phone in a trident case and its a [email protected] to put back on, so if i dont have to take off my case, im not going to

They just need your imei number which you can get under settings > about phone.
sweet thanks for letting us know! i just called in to replace my back cover cause the volume rockers were getting damaged. should have a new one in the mail within next few days. the customer service was great as well, very surprised lol
yes waiting for mine
I got shipped the white one when I confirmed my phone came with the black one. They reshipped a black cover and I can still keep the first white one they sent. Now I have 3 all together. Yay

I'm sure it still has warranty on it. May not be from your carrier but HTC covers it. So go ahead and call htc. Tell them your power button is not working properly or the case is making a creaking noise

I got the one I ordered couple days ago, funny that she checked my serial, it checked out as white, I asked her to send me the black, she said she couldn't, she checked if she could twice, said she still can't, talked to her a bit more, guess I said something right because she confirmed with me that she'd be sending the white, opened up my mail, I got the black instead.
I really want to exchange this phone for a white one when they are available - I paid almost $700 and do not want to pay the $75 restocking fee to exchange it. I ran Dead Pixel Tester and found 2 dead or stuck pixels. Will they let me exchange it for a NEW white phone if I complain to retention? Any ideas?
Damn that sucks.

They should. It's a manufacturing defect.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using XDA
They should but I don't know about switching the color.
There will exchange it but not for another color.
Couple more days till I get my white!!!! :beer:

Same here.
on the 27th.
I was mad when I found out the white s3 wouldn't ship till later. I bit the bullet and bought the blue one and I was surprised because the blue ain't bad at all, I actually like it and it looks like the whole phone is brushed metal.

I actually like the blue...it's much better looking in real life than the pictures made out to look...its kinda got a gunmetal look to it that I am digging...but definitely a finger print magnet for the back cover though.

That's exactly what I thought. I went into the store telling myself I wouldn't buy it if they didn't have the white one because I'd seen the promo pictures and didn't like it as much. Then I saw a guy with a blue one outside the store and it totally changed my mind. It's much more reserved than what I expect the white one to look like. The blue isn't overwhelming and blends nicely with the lighter blue on the edges.

Cause you could be mistaken for this with a white one
The white on plastic phones has a tendency to turn blue if you wear jeans. Just a warning.
Also, my Blue one looks AMAZING! It isn't near as blue as pictures make it look, more of a titanium.
Yeah I didn't like the blue at first, but now that I have it, it's beautiful.
been drinking whiskey for the last hour...so i'm sorry. but i'm also not sorry.

I LOL'[email protected]!!!!!!!
initially wanted the white as well.....from the front it looks like the pebble blue phone is almost black which i like, this phone is so awesome i dont care what color it is!!! lol
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
Sent from my SPH-L710 using XDA
Can someone please post a picture of these seams?
Thanks..
Seam is kinda hard to see in the first picture.
Second is of the actual cracking

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.

I ordered a silicone gel rubber case from eBay seller case_ology yesterday, & awoke this morning to find a message from them. The message explained that the case I'd bought had been a part of a shipment that had been mislabeled by the manufacturer, & were in fact cases for the Sprint version. Sounds familiar, right? Well, the seller, instead of just sending me a Sprint case, offered an immediate refund, or that I could wait until the correct cases arrived early next week.
I was just impressed with the professionalism & thought I'd pass on the info.
Any chance there's any in white? Kinda tired of having a dark phone when my jackets and purses are dark toned and I can't find it.
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
..what? They're the same damn phone. The only difference is the size of the camera lens assembly, apparently the 13mp camera isn't flush with the body. Or does the LS970 case not have a cutout for the SD/SIM sockets on the left side? .. and why would you WANT one?
I've had the E970 and E971 in my hands side-by-side, that's the only external difference between those two.
No, they are not the same phone. The Sprint version is longer and rounded corners while the AT&T version is wider and has squared corners. And Sprint does not have a SIM/SD card slot. Calm your rampage and do research lol.

Yeah - The AT&T version must be an AT&T exclusive. The Sprint version is the same as the international one externally from what I see. So I guess we're very much a niche market unless LG releases the E970 version internationally also. Or, to put it another way, we're probably going to be waiting a bit for some more case love.
All I want is a silicone case. ): boo for at&t wanting to be different.

Its a good thing as you get MicroSD card or you would of had none.
SD card actually isn't important to me considering 16gb internal.
I'm not even using the SD card yet and I've only used 2 of the internal.

There is a gel case for the AT&T version. They have a handful of colors.

I bought the black one earlier this morning, as well as an Xtremeguard protector.
I just got my phone 8 days ago and last night I dropped it without a case on and scratched up the front corners. It's it possible to get it exchanged at AT&T? If so how?

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.

Definitely worth a try. Dead pixels are a big deal. I say go for it. Plus, those scuffs don't look too bad.

Personally I dropped mine and it got scuffed a little too, so much that it bothered me. 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.
