[Q] Gear S3 Classic or Frontier? - Samsung Gear S3

I am thinking about getting the Gear S3 (T-Mobile, if anyone cares)
I have a question I am hoping someone can tell me -
Is there any durability difference between the Classic or Frontier?
I'd hate to pick up the Frontier and find out the black finish scratches or chips off easily.
Also, are there any other considerations between the two I should take note of?
thanks!

I did have to get a new watch band (got leather one) but that was because our prissy cat decided to chew the end off my stock strap while I was asleep

LOL that's great (I mean, sucks, but you made me laugh)
From what I understand it's easy to find bands because it's a standard band to begin with, correct?

I noticed the leather band width stays within the frame sides. The stock strap widened and lined up with the frame sides. Here's a close side pic. Mich prefer the leather though. Band was $20 I believe on Ebay.

Also we went on A hike yesterday - love the heart rate it records on the trail. Use it on bike rides as well so heart rate is saved. Still have my.8+ on the bike to easily view route

Should I put a sheild on it?

Is it worth it to put a sheild on the smartwatch 2? Or is it worthless because it's scratch proof?
I wear it naked for a few months and the glass is perfect. The metal bezel is scratched a bit but it would have been even with a screen protector
Envoyé depuis mon HTC One
I work on a rail road and have been wearing mine for about 3 months to work and the glass is still flawless.

Have you been wearing it all the live-long day? Do you look at it just to pass the time away?
(sorry, I couldn't help myself)
I'm wearing mine since it's release day in and out and except of a few scratches (don't know how i got them) on the left there is nothing to complain about. I don't think it's necessary to put a shield on it. Here's a picture of it:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B25rwuqtZqUwRGcyV1pMQTVlMzQ
I bought a cheap screen protector for a tablet, and cut it to size.
I'd rather play safe than risk scratching my screen. The body have serveral dents on it already...
I have one on mine, bought in eBay and very happy! I have two little scratches on the shield, but not worried at all because it's on the shield and not the glass ?
Yo can buy a cheap pack of two for 3€ ?

I Have a protector on it, chose antireflecting shield to reduce reflections and feeling abit lucky now after hitting it very badly couple times to sharp edges.

No, I've made by myself. I just opened a fake Casio, and cut the corner. Use your imagination, it's try and miss.

The band definitely is an upgrade over the black band but there is a slight color difference of the steel. You can only tell when really looking close at it.
It'd been about 10 days with the strap. All I can is that it feels like a real watch because of the weight. People have commented on how it looks good and the strap makes it look like a real watch. Definitely wasn't sure about the black band but happy about this strap purchase. I would recommend it to others who are thinking of switching out their strap.
very nice I know its quite old thread but can these still be bought on ebay? can anyone pm me a ebay link please?
http://m.ebay.com/itm?itemId=380467797551
I just got my first compliment that it looked like a very expensive watch. One person asked me if it was a Rolex... I laughed.
I've had this strap for 3 months now and all I can say is that it's a great strap. It gives it the look of a powerful and costly watch. I believe the strap is usually placed on Rolex and such. It is easy to clean, comfortable and gives a nice weight to the watch.
I also have a screen protect and let me tell you it saved me twice from a nasty scratch and healed itself. Amazing stuff. Got it at best buy.
broke the screen on mine and cant find a replacement anyone know where one can be bought please??

Cheap Ebay Waterproof Case w/ Pics

I'm headed out ice fishing this weekend and I always like to use a waterproof case. I picked up one of THESE on Ebay for $14.93 with free shipping. I tested it last night submerged under 2 feet of water for 4 hours and it did not leak at all. The back is hinged at the top and has a clip that holds the bottom closed. There are little tabs that stick out on the sides of the back to lock it in place when closed. Sound quality is good and people have no problems hearing me while using the case. The home button is a little stiff but should soften up a little with use.

The S5 is only water resistant not waterproof. I think the issue with making the Note series water resistant is the hole for the S-Pen.
Yes. Think so too. But really like the YouTube videos, then they record under water... But only it can take some beer and drinks I'm satisfy

I did a quick underwater video of me releasing a trout with my Note 3 in a cheap waterproof case. It's nothing special, I just wanted to see how it would look.

nevermind, it was a plug and it was lost upon first opening it, i found it later.

Laser sensor and cases

Any cases available on Prime and in stock that don't jack up the laser autofocus?
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
I see most cases have cut out for the three spots on the left (camera, flash, sensor) but not the two spots on the right. What are those? Is it ok to block it?
Spigen ultra hyper case is the only case that leave the visor fully exposed which I am planning to use the phone in.

Since the official cases block it, i'm assuming it shall be fine.

Don't know what those 2 holes are, but they don't look like sensors. The white thing on the right is a "warranty void if removed" sticker on top of a screw.
What's most interesting about this device is that it does indeed look like it could support dual sims with the right tray... Or a sim/SD card slot. There are definitely 2 chip hookups behind that shroud in the teardown. It's possible that it's just a dummy port though.

Only s8 cases will fit an s8, s8+ cases will only fit an s8+.
Is this real life?
Everybody can tell right off that this thread is troll
G955U is not dual SIM
There is no way that S8+' cases won't fit to a S8+. It is probably a fake one
Last but not least, writing like a crazy man (with capital and small letters combined) won't make you more believable
