Well, looks like I'm off to Best Buy in the morning. Dropped the phone about 1.5 feet and this was the result. Landed in my dogs food bowl.
I had my screen cracked very badly. Sent it in to Samsung for repair. I don't expect to have it back for 4 months at the least.
While I don't doubt the efficacy of Otterboxes, they do have the substantial drawback of turning a slim and light phone into some sort of 90's style Fonezilla that needs extra large pockets or one of those funny holster things.Otterboxes are wonderful for preventing things like that, even if they are expensive

I have to say, I'm not a fan.

DarkMage530;[URL="tel:6117940" said:6117940[/URL]]literally did this as well 2 days ago. Im trying to figure out what to do as well.
I think i should be capable of replacing the screen but i'm wary of all the screen replacement kits i'm seeing on amazon and ebay. None of them specify that it is Gorilla Glass 3 and a few of the reviews have comments like "doesn't feel the same" and "doesn't quite fit".
I'm thinking of taking it to a shop for repair.
That is ugly beyond words. Sorry!
Well to each their own good luck if you drop yours, maybe my case will start looking less ugly then.
My first smartphone was an iPhone 3 and I'm now on my 5th. In all that time I have never dropped any of them or cracked the screen. If I had put them all in Otterboxes I would be out $250 and would have had a fat munter of a phone all that time.I'm not saying this combo is for everybody, but it just funny how some would rather take the chance of getting a cracked screen, without some sort of protective case on their phone.
absolutely, one man's meat is another man's poison and all that.....

It reminds me of those bizarre vinyl bra things I have seen on a lot of cars in the US to protect against stone chips. I cannot understand the logic of avoiding the risk of something possibly looking horrible in future by guaranteeing that it looks horrible all the time.
Strange you refer to the case as ugly. It looks just like the S3 phone, it's larger but that is because it contains back up batteries. It's also give you more to hold on to. But it's main purpose is protection.
Click on this picture of a Samsung Galaxy S3 then compair it to my Samsung Galaxy S3 in the Mophie Juice Pack Case.I think you need to visit an optician. My son has an S3 and, fortunately, it looks nothing like this.
Firstly you are ignoring the back, which doesn't bear the remotest resemblance to the back of the S3 and secondly, no, it still doesn't look the same.Click on this picture of a Samsung Galaxy S3 then compair it to my Samsung Galaxy S3 in the Mophie Juice Pack Case.

It's not my business to tell anyone else what they should do with their phone but pretty much all cases are ugly and this one is certainly no exception to that rule.
I'm guessing you are English by the fact that you are on Virgin so you will probably be familiar with the expression "I don't fancy yours much", which seems particularly apposite in this instance.
