Okay guys, I finally got the Faxion, so it's time for a quick shoot out between the Hybrids (plus one 3D0 case for good measure).

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


This is gonna be just a simple comparo, but I hope it helps you guys.

Incipio Faxion

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


Pros:
- Top notch build quality and finishing.
- Buttons work well (if not a tad hard to press).
- Good all round protection.
- Lip around screen is raised the highest amongst the three.
- Single piece.
- Feels durable.
- MicroUSB cutout is large enough to accommodate every connector I have (including my extra fat OTG cable).
- Comes with free clear SP.
- Easy to remove and put back on.
- Available in Black.

Cons:
- A tad on the expensive side (MSRP on the Incipio website. Got it for a good price from ShopAndroid so no issues here).
- Back is glossy and slippery (nothing a razor blade and a few minutes of scoring and slicing can't handle though).
- It's slightly thicker than the Neo Hybrid on the back, but the Impact Mesh is fatter around the sides.
- Bottom mic hole is not perfectly aligned.

SGP Neo Hybrid

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


Pros:
- Cheaper vs the Faxion (MSRP from Spigen).
- TPU back provides better grip.
- Slimmest case out of the three.
- Ample amount of raised lip around screen (second to the Faxion though).
- Eye catching design.
- MicroUSB cutout large enough to fit most accessories (my fat OTG cable was a very tight fit though).
- Perfect cutouts for mics (top and bottom).
- Available in multiple colour choices.
- Comes with free clear SP.

Cons:
- The famous "oversensitive buttons" issue (moddable, but even then still works weird sometimes).
- Rough TPU finishing all around the lip.
- Fragile feeling, smooth (no grip) polycarb frame.
- Not available in Black, not even the TPU part (Seriously, Spigen?).

Tech 21 Impact Mesh

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


Pros:
- Has a 3D0 band built into the side.
- Best button design out of the three.
- Good finishing (no rough edges anyway).
- Perfect cutouts for mics and microUSB.
- SHOULD provide good side impact resistance.

Cons:
- Expensive. Really. 3D0 gel MUST cost a bomb.
- Almost ZERO lip around the screen.
- Misleading name. Was expecting the back to have a hole mesh design or something. No such thing.
- Back is really smooth and provides ZERO grip.
- Case is really FAT around the sides.

So, my personal favourite right now? The Faxion, personally modded to fit my grippy needs (thanks to a handy razor blade). The Neo Hybrid is a close second.

The Mesh? Let's just say I hope somebody likes 3D0, transparent TPU and the colour Orange enough to take it off my hands.

do you guys flash flash the wanam kernal on top of wanam 2.1 ROM as well?

http://netkups.com/?d=25a332360500c

is it good? or should I just stick with the original stock kernal?

Um, the Wanam Stockmod kernel gets flashed automatically every time you flash any version of Wanamlite.

Just the ROM is enough IINM. But it doesn't hurt to download and keep the kernel too, in case you go testing other kernels and decide to go back.

Google launch "Google Ears" New Music Recognition App for Galaxy S3

Google Ears is a Shazam or SoundHound-like service, which analyzes the music coming from your surroundings and tells you the artist and name of the song, as well as some other info about it. Among other things, it also let's you buy the song quickly, if it's available on the Google Play Store.

Anyone knows the proper way to control the volume of all phone sounds?

When using the volume buttons of phone, that only controls the phone ringtone. But for notification and other sounds, need to go to settings > sound > volume > notifications

Troublesome ... is there a faster way? Or is there a profile app?

When you press the volume buttons and see the sliderbar for the ringtone come out, press the settings icon on the side of the bar, the sliders for the other sounds will appear.
