Does this case trap heat? My S3 has overheated with my current case.

I have had mine for over a year and haven't experienced my phone to over heat. As a matter of fact I have used this same style case on the last three phones I've had and never experienced any problems. I luv this case. Hope this helps.

No I have not noticed it trapping heat. I am extremely happy with it and it takes a beating at work.

No it doesn't trap heat, and that's the beauty of it. This case is a really great quality for a low price.

I haven't noticed any overheating. I've got a retina MB Pro with an SSD, and it always seems to run cool unless I'm doing video work or something heavily processor intensive... which I'm usually plugged in for, and not working out of the case. The inside of the case is constructed of some sort of mesh fabric, which may also be adding to its perceived breathability.

Yes. There are times when the computer heats up and I remove the case. However, I looked up online and some site also said that my computer heats up even without the case.

I frequently charge my Galaxy s3 without any over heating problems . I'm not sure of the exact current rating of the cable though.

I don't find that to be the case. My phone does warm up when using data/wifi but that's after quite a bit of use. I don't think the case makes a difference. I have not dropped phone (THANK GOODNESS) so I can not tell you how much it protects the phone. I like the clear case so I can look at the color I picked & my "signature" on the back of the phone.

Yes and now when I first got the case I loved it. But it started to make my phone do weired things when I would leave my phone in it for more than like an hour it would over heat. The sides started to rip on it a little. And when I contacted the company about it they said yah they would fix the problem but they never have and I sold it on wish.

Although the case will fit, I have found that it causes the tablet to overheat. I would recommend finding one that allows for the heat generated by the tablet to vent properly

I got this one because the fins on the heatsink push the heat out of the case vs the gigabyte which blow the heat onto your motherboard and into the case. Not a big deal if you're cooling your CPU with outside air but I have watercooling that blows case air across my radiator and then out so I didn't want to heat up my case unnecessarily.

I have never had the phone overheat. I have had it on for quite some time. That only issue I have is the charging port and how some chargers do not fit in there properly. In that case, you may have to remove the case.

My case is to loose so I don't have any issues of it over heating or getting hot at all. I wish it was a bit more snug to be honest with you. I keep it in my glove box all of the time.

I have noticed that this case does heat the phone but it does not drain the battery. I found that when GPS is left on my phone drains faster. The volume on my Galaxy S4 is on the side which is covered by the black part of the armband. This is not an issue for me since I easily adjust through the material. The plastic cover does allow you to continue to operate all of the features. I have had issues with pulling the screen down if the phone is not placed in the armband perfectly. I do like to have everything on before I start running so I don't have to mess with it. Overall, I am still very satisfied with this armband.

Hi Jewel1207. I would say that is a Isolated incident. If you think about it, there is no material in the case that would conduct heat at all. Only the phone itself could pass heat through the case. I have used this case on my phone, which is my business phone, and spend many hours on it every day of the week. I have never once felt the phone or the case get hot in any spots. For someone that wants the protection of the top of the line case, but doesnt want that bulkiness, this is the perfect product! I also advise getting a Invisi-sheild screen protector on it as well. -D Hall Investments Hi Jewel1207. I would say that is a Isolated incident.

Mel, good question. The case/computer does get hot but I have not experience any overheating. Because I have the same concern, just recently I started removing the upper back cover to allow air to flow around my laptop when in use for a long period of time. You might consider this an annoyance but I love the design of the case and how it protect my laptop.

I have mine in between the case & the phone, but it gets hot while charging. I don't know if the heat can harm the performance of my phone.

NO. Put in the search above for a charging case for the S3. Then get the one that goes for the S3. They are awesome!!
