Does this case trap heat? My S3 has overheated with my current case.

I have had mine for over a year and haven't experienced my phone to over heat. As a matter of fact I have used this same style case on the last three phones I've had and never experienced any problems. I luv this case. Hope this helps.

No I have not noticed it trapping heat. I am extremely happy with it and it takes a beating at work.

No it doesn't trap heat, and that's the beauty of it. This case is a really great quality for a low price.

I have the S3 and the extra battery and have no problems using it with the exception of charging it with any case on it.

Hi Jewel1207. I would say that is a Isolated incident. If you think about it, there is no material in the case that would conduct heat at all. Only the phone itself could pass heat through the case. I have used this case on my phone, which is my business phone, and spend many hours on it every day of the week. I have never once felt the phone or the case get hot in any spots. For someone that wants the protection of the top of the line case, but doesnt want that bulkiness, this is the perfect product! I also advise getting a Invisi-sheild screen protector on it as well. -D Hall Investments Hi Jewel1207. I would say that is a Isolated incident.

Mine doesn't get any warmer that it does without the case. The bottom is vented to prevent this from happening. However, the keyboard cover makes your sound output slightly lower.

My phone has yet to overheat and I live in Phoenix, Arizona. By that I mean if it were going to overheat I think it would when it gets hot out and it hasn't yet. I also leave my phone in the case at all times

Do you have the S3 ? If so yes it should be. You might stretch out the rubber a bit after time though. Also, if you are having issues with your battery time, you should try and download battery doctor. I used to have a lot of issues with my battery time and once I downloaded that, I don't have any issues any more. It's great! And I love my phone case!!!!

We hage many chargers at home, fortunately. But yes, a few of them have a wider/thicker plastic that will prevent them from fitting in the case. As I had just gotten a replacement S3 and charger, I can say that it fit snugly. I am assuming it is the older, perhaps dumb-phone, chargers that may have been the issue. The ones I got with each of my S3's fit.

No! The case gets extremely hot and you are lucky if you get 10% extra battery life. I returned mine for a full refund.

I have never had issues with overheating during normal use. However, I would caution that this is a sealed protective case. If you are having heating issues and the weather isn't terribly hot and/or direct sunlight is not the issue causing the overheating this case will not be any better than cases you have used in the past.

No the S3 is much larger then the S2. They do make the case for the S2 though. I had one for my S2 as well. Best case ever!

Yes it does! And I've noticed the case keeps the phone cooler during charging - without it, the back of the phone gets really hot.

I have noticed no overheating issues. It does not muffle the speaker either. Its really a great case. I like it better than the otterbox for this phone.

No. But I noticed in general the case makes the phone *very* hot. Occasionally I have take the case off so the phone can cool down.

It fits snugly around the sides and back of the phone. It is also a close fit around the ports (charge, earphone jack). The front is exposed. I have not had any heating issues with either of these cases on the Samsung or HTC. It is a very well made case.

The fan/exhaust from my power supply is facing downward and out of the case through the bottom vent. I have this case sitting on a desktop... and have not had any issues with heat. The feet on this case are about 1/2" tall and provide enough clearance for air to escape. I don't know what you are planning to set this case on... but if you put it in a normal place you should have no problems with heat.

When using the phone very much for an extended period, it does get a little warm, but I haven't experienced any problems with overheating.

Must be be for your s3 series you should make sure that, because it does not fit into the motherboard of the phone and then not close the phone
