Once you do get it fixed I would invest in a nice protective case for the phone. I know ... I know ...a big bulky case defeats the purpose of the sleek slim Galaxy S3 but it's worth it - especially after you go through all this hassle. I purchased this Ballistics Case off of amazon and absolutely love it. It of course adds some bulk to the phone but not a whole lot, it's easy to put on and take off, it's affordable, it comes in different colors, and I can attest that it's durable and does the job well of protecting your phone. I have dropped my phone at least a dozen times since I went through the whole fiasco of getting it fixed and haven't had an issue since!
