Samsung Galaxy S3 phone cases, flip covers and 'Wallets': The Choices

Phone covers, flip-cases or the flip-case/wallet combinations for the Samsung Galaxy S smartphone are the 'in' products currently. It's funny because I come from a generation that thinks flip cases/covers for mobile phones are everything but essential accessories. Yet, when I think of the advancing, sudden wave of interest in phone covers and flip cases, the Galaxy S3 (or Samsung S III) seems to have won over reviews.

There are quite a lot of flip-cases/wallet-design covers for the Samsung Galaxy S. I mean not many people  are feverishly looking for Sony Xperia phone cases or Nokia Lumia wallet covers  but for the Samsung S3 and the SII, their users seem to be shopping for one. 

Maybe there is a psychology of perception in involved here: The Samsung Galaxy S has a more streamlined, sleeker and yes, much slimmer (visually at least) design that the current iPhone and Xperia lot which I believe gives it a vulnerable look. Or something. So maybe Galaxy users tend to think you need more protective layers to ensure the safety of this advanced but fragile, precious gadget. 

 There are currently 3 basic mobile phone cover designs for the Samsung Galaxy S3: 

(1) The basic flip and fold phone case design
(2) The flip case-stand design and
(3) The (most popular) flip-case-wallet combination design


This phone flip case for the Samsung Galaxy S3 is a basic accessory. As you can see, the design is simple - the phone case is a piece of two flaps, one that folds and covers the screen while the holding flat acts as the rest. The phone cover case has no pockets or sliders to hold say credit or ID cards like the Samsung 3 phone Wallet ID card-flip case.

This flip case-stand phone cover/case for Samsung S3 is the most adventurous of the lot. The semi-hard leather piece incorporates the flip-and-fold design with that of 'stand' capability. In others words you can prop your Samsung S3 on its side when watching videos or movies.

Of all the Samsung S3 phone flip/cover cases out there in the market, this phone case is my favorite. The flip-case-wallet combinations looks so cool and unique. Especially the three way design. There are two leather flaps: one acts as the flap guard/latch while the main covering flap works as a card-holder, a wallet to carry currency and of course, the screen protector. And don't worry unless you happen to be carry jagged metal cards, your cards won't harm the Samsung S3's screen in any way.

The only UC Browser version that works on Samsung Wave 525 (Bada OS)

It's been about 4 years since the Samsung Wave 525 was launched. When it came out in 2010, it was one of the best mid-segment "smartphones" that hit the market. How many momentous, technologically-superior smartphones have come and gone since the Bada OS Wave?  The 525 must now feel like a dinosaur - and it is. In terms of its web browser, the most troublesome dinosaur ever. Prior to using the Samsung Wave, I'd used several other phones and none gave me any problem when using the internet as did the 525.  Browsing experience had never been so much a problem unlike the one the 525 gave me since i bought it three years ago. The various versions of UC Browser , a nifty little mobile browser that was touted to be the "fastest browser" for mobile phones that time, was the choice of wave 525 users. The only problem? In a world where every app and gadget was either android or windows, none worked for Bada OS (Samsung's own operating system). The Sams...

Overview of Sony Ericsson W995: The Little Walkman

The Sony Ericsson w995 Walkman is a relic from the glorious collaboration of Sony Corp and Ericsson. Yet, the  'Walkman' slider phone, released in 2009, remains one of the most popular mobile phones in the market today. An overview of the phone will give us amble reasons why even mobile phone reviewers still cannot beat the little device down, even in this age of the Xperias and the iPhones. Here is an overview of the  main features and specifications of this hardy little Sony Ericsson flagship phone. Overview: The Sony Ericsson w995 is a "Walkman" Slider phone. When it was released in 2009, the device offered probably three of then-biggest features to mobile phone users - a then-unheard of 8.1 Megapixel camera, 8GB Memory Card and 3G - one of the first pre-3G era phones that came with a 3G network band. My guess on the reasons for the phone's popularity is users' relentless hunger for big MP cameras. Only high-ends such as the Xperias, the Nokia Lumias and...
