I love my phone case it's fine there aren't any malfunctions with mine and as far as making it look bigger of course but not out of the ordinary"big"

Oh yeah! This case is super cheap but I did completely forget that I had to modify and cut some of the plastic to get it to work 100% correctly. It does make the fone taller and wider but it's good protection. The fone is already big as it is so adding the extra didn't bother me none.

I have the AT&T; version of the S3. It does NOT cover anything to make it not usable. I carry my phone in my back pocket. It isn't really that much bigger with the case.

I don't know if it blocks the sensor out not. I didn't use it long enough. The rubber part is nice but the red plastic part feels really cheap and if you drop it it falls off. Just spend the extra money and buy an otterbox or one of those other nice cases

I've seen some inquiries about color peeling, is that still happening, do you still recommend the case even taking this in mind?Does every model fade to the same color once they peel? If they don't which one should I choose to reduce the peeling effect?Thanks in advance and sorry for the multiple questions, I really like the design of this case but this is holding me back from buying it at the moment.

Thanks for your help! I ended up calling the company to try to figure this out. Strangely, a live person picked up the phone after two rings and no routing of the call. I asked her what the difference was, and all she said was the color is different but they're basically the same. I guess that's the unofficial but official word from someone working there! I ended up saving my $5 and getting the black one, which I like better anyway.

My phone got pretty poor battery life (maybe 1 day or so) until I turned off the keypad light (menu --&gt; settings --&gt; backlight --&gt; duration to off). Now it gets a few days, not great, but not horrible. Your phone or charger is (or was) certainly defective--10 minutes is ridiculous. Alan

You want the best piece of advice I can give you? Get the REIKO hybrid case. I had it for my Note 2 and is fantastic...!!! I bought this iblason to change on style... not even close on quality or price. This one is more expensive and offer LESS protection. Buy the reiKo my friend (with belt clip or alone) and your phone will be really protected. I just ordered another for my new Note 3. hope this help.

In the process of commpleting your order, there is an option to add comments to your order for the vendor. Did you try requesting your desired color? I would be curious to know if it would make a difference. I have had my comments ignored before, but there is always a chance! The comment option has also helped me avoid ordering a similar but incorrect product in the past. The vendor actually called me to verify and avoided a bad order for us both. :) (There is an HTC Desire and a Desire S cell phone, but they don't use that same cover)

Yeah, I don't get it...could be issues with quality control, although I've noticed most who say it fits used a battery other than hyperion.... weirdly it seems to fit my phone more snugly now than when I purchased it..( I have a hyperion battery) or perhaps I just got used to it...it's never fallen off or anything.

Thanks for writing, first and foremost I would like to tell you that I first purchased the HD high Defintion version which I loved, however it got dirty too fast and was glary, then I ordered the anti finger print version which looks cloudy at first but dont be alarmed it is very clear when you put it on and I feel it has a bit more thickness to it for more protection. Now as far as putting it on it is very easy to place on the screen once you have read instructions and perhaps watched the video, please make sure you clean the surface of your device or wipe it down with a damp not wet cloth or napkin like a lens cleaner and then place it on accordingly to instructions. If anything goes wrong Tech Armor does stand by their product, just take your time and if ou get one or two minor bubbles which may happen as it did to me at first it some how irones itself out if you go over it with a credit card like card board which the item comes with, Please write if any other questions, I ll try to help you the best I can, also it has life time warranty. Thank You.

Yea, I like it, it's good. Especially because I drop my phone a lot. Haha. It has a rubber cover then a hard cover over it. Be careful, once you put it on. It's very hard to take off.

The only time I've done was on speakerphone or using bluetooth, I'm sure though that it wouldn't much effect the volume of your call either way.however the cover may accidentally touch a button on your screen if you move and turn the screen on. When I'm using my phone to take calls I fold the cover the other way around and hold it as you would any other phone / case.

This case [in my experience] has been very protective for me, the case does wrap around the top and all the sides, but does not cover the volume buttons or the power button. But I would recommend getting a screen protector or something to help protect your screen, with this case my phone has been fine, but I have dropped it face first onto concrete without a case and it hasn't shattered so I may just have a lucky phone, but I would suggest maybe getting a screen protector or just be really careful, but hopefully your phone is as rugged as mine and you can get any case without worry! Hope this helped! [And sorry if this was confusing a little, I get off topic sometimes.

The charging cover and the charging base seem to be engineered to pretty precise specs. The charging cover is thin and permits charging to full charge in the same time as a direct wire charge. If I were going to consider a cover, "Otter" grade, I would have to give up on transduced charging. I enjoy the convenience of charging during the day without the hassle direct wiring. Forget the cover and enjoy the charging system of the future or go for the cover and forget the advanced charging system that Nokia has created. The 1020 discharges faster that the iPhone 5 that I had. So always being charged up is a priority for me. When at my desk, my 1020 sets on the charge plate. No wires to fiddle with to charge my phone during the day. I never know when I will be away from a charging system, so being charged up is important to me. When I retire for the night, my phone is generally 100% charged up. The feeling of a charged up phone is important to me.

Forgot to mention, love the cover. Looks great. I haven't seen another cover out there that I would trade mine for. Hope all this helps.

Hello. I only know of the cover that this comes with, that takes the place of the original/stock back cover of the phone; which I had problems with due to cheap plastic, the clips broke very easily, so the cover would not stay on. As far as a full case to buy, I don't know. Good luck if you find one. I don't even use this battery anymore because of the cheap back that it came with, as explained. But the battery itself is great. Again, I hope you find what you're looking for. I'd like to know if you find one too. Maybe I'll look into getting one then.

The battery is about 2x thicker than the original battery. That is why they send the new back cover with the purchase of this battery. The original back cover will no longer cover the thickness of the battery. HOWEVER, if you like the phone at all, you will LOVE the additional time the battery gives you. There have been times when I've not used my phone heavily, and been able to go two full days & nights with out recharging. There were times with the original battery that I had trouble making it to the end of the first day... They should have provided a battery of this strenght from the start! I love mine!

@ K.R. Marlo - Couldn't agree more. A little common sense would really help these designers. I know it's difficult to anticipate all of the different cases, thickness, etc but there is no way I'd ever buy this product if I have to take my iPhone out of it's case every time I use it or not have my iPhone in a case at all. Sigh...the search goes on.

Well, actually, mine wont turn on, but I hear that's a good thing. There's a little door on the back your have to pry off. If I remember right, its smaller than a matchbook cover. Behind it there's an on/off switch. Keep your fingers crossed that it works. Mine phone has worked fine except the ringer btw.
