I think what pisses me off most, aside from how ugly that disgusting branding is, is the fact that they have the audacity to do it. It's MY PHONE, made by SAMSUNG, Verizon had nothing to do with it.

Maybe it's a protective sticker?
God that is horrible. I can't say I'm surprised but still. HORRIBLE!
I'm sure someone will come up with a clever way to get rid of it should that be on the final product though.

Luckily I will get mine without any carrier branding on it but why Verizon tries to ruin devices original design? It is so pointless to put a carrier logo on each device because its not made by Verizon but by Samsung instead.
looks like a sticker to me. The button is much whiter than the rest of the device, and if you look at all the photos on Samsung website it isn't.
That HAS to be a sticker.
I've decided I really hope they do logo the button. Normally the logo is protected under glass so I can't scrape it off easily...the button though, ah...all too easy to remove/cover. Logos on the front of the phone need to die.
Haha that's Verizon for you. Largest 4G LTE in the US but its rocking the 3G.

Yikes... but realistically speaking we're all going to be using a case that will cover up the ugly text.
Why would you use a case that covers the home button? Unless it's an otterbox. That's only about 5% of people.
Ever heard of trident? All high protection styles cover the buttons too

Verizon always has to have its hand in the process somehow. From branding on the phone, to handling the updates. I wish Verizon would just focus on handling the network and leave the phone to the manufacturer.

I go with the suggestion in the article that it's a bad Photoshop job. Besides the screen being unrealistically larger, look how close the top sensor is to the display which would be physically impossible to manufacture. If it were real I'd take the Korean mock-up in blue without question.
That looks like some bad photoshop work.
Haha that's for sure Photoshop. Notice exact same battery levels and also blurry graphics.

I for agree with this, the only reason I have mine in a case is because if it gets damaged I will struggle with the repair bill, if that didn't matter I would not use a case, hence why I like to feel other whenever I can.
And it's nice to see it's not just me.

Its, does the white version GET dirty? So much fail in that so called question.
tappin on the aokp running Nexus 7
My wife has the gs3 since launch and uses it a ton and it looks perfect still, brand new looking. Honestly she probably uses her phone way more than me and I am much more of a techie lol, so not sure how that works. I've been going back and forth about grey or white and I think I am leaning toward white... it definitely looks much more stylish, while the grey looks much more professional. I've always gone for the professional look, so I think it's time to go stylish......

Hi I have the iPhone 5 with iOS 7.
I completely hate it.
I'm stuck between the s4 and the htc one.
played with both today the s4 seems kinda "plasticy" and the htc one reminds me of the iphone build and the htc one in black is hawt.
why should i buy the s4 over the htc one?
i plan to root / custom rom the s4 once an exploit is found.
thnx
If you drop the S4, it bounces. The One will dent and put pressure on the screen and buttons if dropped causing more possible damage. I suggest a case for either one. The S4 has a larger more vibrant screen. A 13 megapixel camera vs the Ones 4 mp camera. Yes they say ultra pixel but it just takes pics with bigger pixels. Its a load of crap if you ask me.

Same dilemma I had. Chose S4 easily tho because SD card support is high on my list of must-haves.
The need for this new device was due to frying the last phone and not being to access the built-in memory at all after. Altho nothing I cared for was lost since everything was on an SD card.

There's almost as many 1 star reviews for the Spigen as 5 star, sounds as though the cutouts are mis-aligned on some of them and there have also been 2-3 week shipping delays reported... so be careful with that one.
I ordered the Supcase on amazon and I like it. The original one they sent me was missing the cutout for the top noise canceling mic but they sent me a replacement which is good.

Just so you know Otterbox only covers otterbox. if you drop your phone with the case on and the phone breaks, you're out a phone. They'll replace the case for free though!
I'll prolly get defender since commuter would make it a little awkward in my pocket. Plus I can get them for cheap

I received (finally) my Neo Hybrid yesterday. The fit is great and the look is nice. I like the case a lot. I also think that it could take a drop. That being said, the case is incredibly slick. So much so, that I'm not sure if I can feel comfortable using it. I would not recommend. Way tto slick.
I just ordered a case that says it's for the N9000 model. It should still fit the Verizon N9005 right they are exactly the same right? There's another case on eBay that looks exactly the same as the one I bought and it says it works with the N9005. Just curious.

I was an otterbox fan until I discovered seidio. Much better product and company. Went with a neo hybrid with this one and I love it. I agree that it is too slick though.
I liked otterbox for protection. But like was said the case stretches in short time and looks horrible. Ballistic makes just as good cases that are easier to take off and put on. And don't stretch. Gonna try a Trident (different company) case this time around myself since I think those will be available first.
