It's confirmed that the S3 will have ceramic body

About ceramic body... I don't speak english that good but .. by saying ceramic body they mean this?
http://largeceramicvases.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Vase-Ceramic1.jpg
Wouldn't the phone break in the first drop if they put ceramic body? I know this sounds really stupid but I have no idea what they mean by saying Ceramic body..
I don't think Samsung will be allowed to create phones that break on first drop, unfortunately Apple has already patented that technology. I guess Samsung will need to work around that and create a phone that withstands drops

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA +1 for that Apple patent =)
Mayb a part, or something inside the phone will be ceramic.
I have a appointment with Samsung today, hope to get some info about the SGS3.
There was already a thread created about it and closed by mods. Either post it in the dedicated sgs3 thread or don't create threads like this as it is not related to sgs2.

So, ceramic body could be something very strong, light and shiny.
Ceramic? Is new; But I like the carbon fiber and drawing stainless steel

I think, SGS3 will be the best phone ever! I am owner of SGS and SGS2 and my next? What do you think....
ceramic body? that will be too heavy and too fragile

May be its mineral glass and not ceramic.

i think it will be the kind of ceramic used for brakes on some cars. If it can bring a super to a halt from 200mph then it will be able to take a few hits
There are some guns with ceramic components. The Glock22 is supposed to have a ceramic body. I don't think it will be your regular ceramic used in pottery

I disagree since they announced them prior to the issue being brought up, unless you are saying they KNEW it would happen prior to the release.
But I do agree they are useless overall and all they really are good for is the attenuation issues.
its something different no?

Thats a good page but unfortunately they dont sell 1 piece items.... they supply in high quantities and only if you have a company that repairs/resells/etc phones... they ask for a series of data like business name and legal stuff... i remember i tried to purchase 1x samsung OEM battery cover... haha they basicly laughed at me saying i need to be a company and buy at least 10x.

also, when disassembling the phone to replace the housing, is the screen at risk of allowing dust particles in? or is the screen/digitizer sealed? one of my pet peeves is dust behind the screen

Hi all. Any Bolt owner who wants to sell a Bolt if you're giving it up for another - i have recently obtained stupidity as a skill of mine, so obviously putting that to use right away, i handed my 1 yr old daughter my phone, and watched in slow-mo as she slammed it down to the kitchen floor, cracking the screen.
(It's not jagged, still smooth, and the touch is not damaged, but there are many "sprayed" cracks).
I have a nice th3ory rom on it, and i've already bought nice accessories for it, so i'm not giving up! Rather than wait for my wife's upgrade and take hers and decide whether to send mine in for repair, i want to know if anyone has a Thunderbolt they want to part with? I would take a rooted one that you confirm has a rom that has been discussed on the forums, i'm real happy with the Bolt and would like it back. Discuss here! Then maybe we can set up a price for it! appreciate it XDA!
i have a TB in great condition I MIGHT be willing to part with if the price is right.

I have a TB running s3ns3th3ory (god what a stupid name for a rom). Phone is in gorgeous condition, has always been in a heavy, hard walled, leather case. No scratches to the screen or the body, no wear marks anywhere.
Don't know absolutely yet whether or not I really want to sell it but will consider offer.

Was afraid you would see that. If I didn't like it I wouldn't be running it but I sure wish you had thought up better names! Ok, I got the name wrong, but the same effect for the right name. Sorry, love your roms, just hate the names.
Pretty sure you cannot sell phones outside the marketplace on xda.

Please refrain from commenting on the hard work of great developers, he is a very respected developer here.
I own a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 GT 3100 and I
wanted to know what type of scratch resistant
glass is used in this particular tab.? Some of
the blogs mentioned that tab 310 uses
Samsung's patented scratch resistance glass
but on the other hand in many of the blogs it
mentioned that the display glass of the gt310 is
not scratch resistant.. I am totally confused.
I also got in touch with the customer care of
Samsung here at India but to my dismay I
didn't get a satisfactory reply. They failed to
clear my doubt.
Hopefully my doubts will be cleared in this
forum by the esteemed members.. Help is
highly anticipated and will be appreciated..!

Mobile arena say gorilla glass but i doubt as this glass is expensive esp as tablets need more of it and they need to reduce costs may be some markets have it some not
put screen protector to be more safe and may be use hard case to protect screen as oem case and do not use nails in screen short nails better

Not to be rude but everyone that has responded is a senior member. These forums are not a place to have people do your research for you. If anyone knew for sure they would have posted it already or they will when the time comes. If Samsung has even released the info then it can be found with a little bit of research. You could even send Samsung an email. If they give you no response then its something they are keeping a secret for now.

Maybe I'm missing something but this sounds like a request that someone find out for you. I am not trying to be mean though. I still think your best bet is to contact Samsung directly. Like I stated above, if they have released the info to the public they will surely give it to you.

Well it's certainly not break resistant I've dropped my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2, 7.0" from hip height onto the street, it hit the street first with the glass and that was it..
Now since the device still works, even the touchscreen still works well, I am trying to find a replacement glass. Does anybody know where I could find one?

I think I'll go with that one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Touch-Scree...y-Tab-2-P3100-P3110-P3113-Tools-/111051728473
They include a set of tools and are also quite cheap: 25$ with free shipping from china (every time I order something from there I wonder how it's possible that they can offer free shipping from china to europe, even for 5$ items)
On dx.com you can find 1-2$ items with free delivery... Chinese .
To make it more easily, watch disassembly P3100 videos on youtube.
Yes it has.
I have never used a screen protector ever since I bought mine november last year. the screen is still pristine and scratch less. i use it every and put it in my backpack. my 3 year old son even stepped on it screen side up and nothing happened. so the screen is as advertised by samsung.
FWIW I don't think it's gorilla glass because I can feel the extra drag. GG is more slippery, at least whatever kind is on my gs3.
I much prefer naked screens so will try to dissuade the wife from putting a screen protector on it.

Sadly today i broke the front glass of my 1.5 year old galaxy R. I took it immediately to a Samsung Galaxy R SCC only to find out that they are charging in excess of INR 7000 to replace the digitizer of the galaxy R. I also approached other local mobile repair shops but they all are asking in excess of 4000 INR which I frankly think is too much to spend on 1.5 year device (despite the fact that i absolutely love my galaxy R). I then started searching online for the galaxy R digitizer and found a site called parts4repair.com . It seems to have an awesome inventory of galaxy R spare parts along with spare parts of other phones too. However i am confused as to whether i should trust this site as they are asking for 20$ including shipping which is quite less compared to what everyone else has quoted so far but still a large enough amount that i would not like to go to waste. Could anyone tell me of their past experiences of the site if anyone has ordered anything and also any other cheaper alternatives to repair my phone. The LCD which produces the image is fine but the front glass is cracked and doesn't respond to my touch anymore

IMO you should get it repaired from local shop. doing this you will get it repaired in very short time and its better that an experienced person fits the screen rather than you do after buying online.

Hold you hand buddy. we know that you are in so much bad situation but please Dont be panic else this kinda reply will tend to stay away other users from this thread.
@vipul12389mehta buddy was just suggest a Rule not asked you to adhere to it strictly.
You may trust the site but have to ask site (using call or mail) that what kinda delivery they will do (Means courier services). also keep on tracking the courier when it will be ordered. Hope all will go well.
Maybe you can ask other fellow members by pm about what they did in similar situations

Best way is to buy a LCD with the front glass (because it is fused) and then replace it. If you can't do this, ask something who can. But disassemble is not very hard and I'm sure that u can do it yourself
hey buddy, what did you do finally? Sadly Im in the same boat as you were.. I accidentally dropped my phone and the screen has multiple cracks. only a small portion of the touch screen is working, rest is dead.

Not really, even online from China if I would order the LCD and glass kit it would have costed around 90usd..
And it turns out that many people are right, it's extremely difficult to separate just the glass from the LCD..its almost like its fused, so we need repair with the kit only...
The service center here quoted almost 8k, so I saved Rs 3000
