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 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.

It should fit just fine. I haven't had the overheating issue noted by another and I have been extremely happy with the case.

No, S3 only.. well at least this model.. I'm sure if you looked for one that is S5 they may makeIt.. S5 is still really new, so S5 cases may be limited. Give it a week of two and you'll have better results. A good suggestion to stick with these cases tho.. mine still looks brand new, and I recently dropped into a puddle of oil, accidently of course.. wiped it of with a cloth no issues still looks new.. I'd post a picture if I could..

No, I just got mine and was thinking about ordering an extended battery and have been looking for cases for it. This one is a very tight fit. Looks pretty amazing on the phone though. I wonder if they make an extended battery case for the S3.

Sorry, no it would be a waste of money on a S3. My daughter got the case before her S4 arrived and tried it in the S3, it just wouldnt close properly.

I have not tried too just so nothing over heats . But the case works great u can go a few days with out my phone being plugged in. But I am also not a huge user just texting really.

We hage many chargers at home, fortunately. But yes, a few of them have a wider/thicker plastic that will prevent them from fitting in the case. As I had just gotten a replacement S3 and charger, I can say that it fit snugly. I am assuming it is the older, perhaps dumb-phone, chargers that may have been the issue. The ones I got with each of my S3's fit.

I have not had any problems with my Next book getting hot. I have had this case for several months and find it very useful.

Must be be for your s3 series you should make sure that, because it does not fit into the motherboard of the phone and then not close the phone

Try and position the phone so you get more air flow to it. Charging plus a cpu intensive program can generate some real heat fast. If it's in a weather proof case you may need a diffrent one that allows better air flow.

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!!

Mine does not generate much heat. Phone remains comfortable to touch after a full charge. If it is too hot to handle, I would return.

Yes it does, how ever your phone will get very hot if you leave it in the otterbox while watching movies, football, ect. I always take mine out. Overheating will result in a warped battery.

Vanessa, I bought the case for S3 and I love it. I have not purchased for S4, so cannot comment on this. Sorry for that.

It does not. The only downside I have found is that it makes your phone slightly heavier and when charging with the case, the phone/case get warm. Otherwise the charger works fine.
