like in title: my battey cover is about to broke, any idea of where i can get a new one? ^^
Seriously? have you tried some of these little known sites?
ebay
amazon
or as a last resort try using Google
Sorry if these results are a little UK centric, if you live somewhere foreign maybe someone could suggest some local equivalents.
http://www.trait-tech.com/ also
great price!

You might wanna let us know what country you're in, so we can be specific when replying.
I'd check ebay first and see if you can get a good deal on there.
Or simply ask HTC nicely. I was a bit concerned about my SIM/SD cover creaking a bit, so I wrote a polite email to HTC, and they sent me a spare.
Give it a go, the worst that can happen is they say no...
I think they also sell those on the official accessory store.

ok so i just got my skyrocket about a week ago. And i dropped it and the chrome around the phone chipped pretty bad. I tried to go into today to say like the phone was laggy and stuff. Then the associate said just restart the phone. Then i asked her about what the insurance policy is and i asked about the chipped chrome and she told me to go to the AT&T service center and said they would swap it out. i went which is about like 30 min away from me and once i got there they said they wouldn't do it. Anybody know what i can do to replace it?
Brick it?

I wish I could like this! Even if you brick your phone they should look at it and deny your claim due to abuse. I would if I were the sales person. It's people like you who drive our prices up.

That, or just don't drop the thing to begin with.
You should have had a case from day 1. They will not replace a phone with serious visual defects unless the defects are from manufacturing. Also, bricking the phone will not do it either since it has been dropped. You're just gonna have to deal with it. Sorry.

Exactly we are talking about a gadget not war or chivalry.....we all make mistakes that's human nature and I'm not saying his reason is the best my rocket has taken some spills and it still works but I will say us middle class people work 5 maybe more days a week and should be cut some slack when it comes to things like this when big companies could care less I say we don't get enough from most big companies just enough for us not to leave. But this makes you a bad person ? Robin hood stole from the rich and gave to the poor but he still stole. There are rapists and killers you can talk to about honor.

Maybe I'm just blind, but I've been unable to find a place...
Just got an insurance replacement and I need to get a new case because I broken my old one. Had the Seidio case, and I liked it, but debating on trying out the Otterbox.... I wish I could find some high quality pictures of it though. I remember seeing a page somewhere that compared the two in ultra high quality but cannot seem to find it either..

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004QLXE3Y Amazon's reviews beg to differ.
And did you actually own one or are you just speaking out your ass like you always do about something you don't have any experience with? I owned one. It was a fantastic case. It took one hell of a beating from me and others before it finally broke after a year, and I seriously mean one hell of a beating.
My phone is still in mint condition when it should be shattered in pieces many times over thanks to that case.
Also there you go OP. If you want to get one.

I owned one and sold many. It was sturdy, but the way it locked onto the phone kind of sucked. It could pop right off and it was the sliding mechanism of the phone that made it a 2 piece. There's solid no keyboard phones have a advantage with sturdier cases.
I wouldn't even bother...the case is such crap...the prongs on the upper case, pulled two of my keys clean off my keyboard...which was a common issue that I didn't hear about until "after" it was purchased. The only way to prevent this was to file the prongs off, which in turn made the upper case unsecure...such a tool of a case

Hi guys. I just realized my shiny new Galaxy S3 I pre-ordered and received a few days ago from Verizon has a dead pixel (or maybe a few in a cluster, it's hard to tell if it's more than one). Since it's within 14 days of receiving the phone, I should be able to return it for a new handset, correct?
Now that I've seen it, it will surely bother me.

Alright. I believe tomorrow is the date they're supposed to get actual phones in-store, so I figure I can do it then.
Since it's a pre-order, do you think just my order confirmation sheet and original packaging and such would be enough for them?
I've always had bad luck with getting replacements, even when they're clearly hardware defects that are no fault of my own.

Reflashing a stock system.img and doing a factory reset should be fine, right?

It's basically like if you're in public showing off that you have $400 - 500 on you that is easily taken.

If you have the right software law enforcement can track down the phone. I would assume that people who steal phones at gunpoint aren't very tech savvy.

Sadly, Samsungdive was my only option. The phone has probably been sold and factory resetted already but i'll be sure to install some tracking apps next time. Experience comes at a price!.
When I saw the the thread name I thought to myself, this is definetly a South African as this happens far too often down here with some people losing their lives over a damn phone.
Shocked to find out it happened on the northern tip of Africa, Egypt .So sorry to hear that mate, glad they only took the phone and not your life. Where were you when it happened?
The GS4 is worth it, definetly, got my GS4 as my GS3 broke, used my GS2 for 2-3wks and got GS4 on launch day, and I've been happy ever since, it's a lovely phone, more refined than GS3.

Get one that you can install as a system app so that when it is factory reset it doesn't go away unless the buyer knows about rooting.
