Does this case replace the original back of the samsung s 3?
627885
No, the original back stays on. There is a, rubber like, colored sleeve that slips on the phone and then the hard case snaps over that.
627886
No. The case fits over the entire phone. Silicone first then the plastic shell. Very simple to install.
627887
No. It's a two part case. There's the rubber cover you wrap around the phone. That's called the Perseus. The hard outer shell covers the whole phone again. It's called the Kraken.

Hello,There are 3 parts to this case. The original phone back back remains in place. part one is a rubbery piece that fits the back and the sides. Art two is a hard plastic part that fits over the rubbery piece on the back and sides. Part 3 is a frame around the front that slides over the sides and locks in place. Once all is locked in place, I can access the on/off button on the right side because the case leaves this button exposed. But the case covers the volume control on the left side and I cannot adjust the volume without taking the case apart. I could be wrong though, so I want to make sure that I may be totally missing something. Hope this is helpful. Hello,There are 3 parts to this case.

I have a Samsung S3 (Which I purchased new 2 months ago) and it fits perfect! I love this case! No issues/problems whatsoever.

Yes it does for me. I never had the original case so I can't comment on it's quality vs the original.

The case I purchased will only work with the S3, not the S4. Also, since the fit is very snug, I don't believe the S4 case will work with anything but the original back.

No, I don't believe so. The case replaces the battery cover, and the regular Galaxy S3 is slightly larger.

I would call Samsung customer service and get the dimensions of the 3000 replacement. The case itself is is a bit over a half and inch thick at its' thickest point. Hope that helps.

Nope. The S3 and S4 are similarly shaped, but not quite the same. The case fits the S4 snugly, so it won't fit the S3.

Incipio? if that is the default back/cover that comes from the samsung factory, then no, your Incipio back will not fit over the extended battery and it's new back/cover. cheers LRMc

I'm not sure. That's something you will have to ask the seller. I bought this for a regular galaxy s3 and it fits fine but the back button doesn't work and I can't pull the notification bar down. It's sitting on my shelf collecting dust.

I purchased the 4200mAh awhile back & not this new 7000mAh. It came with a smooth back cover which I use in conjunction with a Seidio Active case for the S3.

I am not 100% sure- On the S3 model I have it required removal of the back battery cover to fit into the case. It may fit the ultra slim without removal of the back cover.

Only if it' the exact size as the cover on the Galaxy III. You remove your backing and replace it with this case.

Hi, Yes it does,.. just do a search for "Pink Bling Impact Hybrid Rugged Case Samsung Galaxy S III S3" Hope this helps!!

I don't believe it will. I believe it's only made for your standard sized galaxy s3 since the s3 mini is smaller in model size. Mine also is the same as Stacey. My back button will not work unless I continuously press hard on the rubber of the case. Half of the time, it won't respond. It becomes a pain after a while. Other than that, I do love the case.

No, the case only supports the original backing that came with the s4. You can check on Seidio's website for a case that is adaptable with your current backing. Happy hunting

This cover does not "replace" the existing back cover. It is a clear cover that goes around the existing back of the device. Also, there is no cover on the front of the device, only sides and back are covered.

No, it doesn't. That part is not even close to the size for the S3. The best thing is to order the entire front panel replacement (screen, LCD, casing) for around $100.
