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.

It's supposed too, but mine only charged the phone my case is always dead and doesn't work. And it overheats my phone like really bad. I honestly wouldn't recommend anyone to buy it. & its really bulky & heavy.

I have noticed no overheating issues. It does not muffle the speaker either. Its really a great case. I like it better than the otterbox for this phone.

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 an S 2. ... I don't have a cover on it when I dock it. I use a PD Air case & pull the unit from the case before docking it. ... I suspect that your s 3 won't fit with the extra case. ...DE

It fits snugly around the sides and back of the phone. It is also a close fit around the ports (charge, earphone jack). The front is exposed. I have not had any heating issues with either of these cases on the Samsung or HTC. It is a very well made case.

Jeff, I've got an S3 and keep the case on it and insert it. Plenty of room left over.

Get a good case with good air flow. At least 6 fans. I have no issues with heat whatsoever.

Nope no problems at all. Never had a problem with overheating...been using this case for over a year.

No I see no problems have had my s3 galaxy in ballistic case for 3 months. I have never taken it off or never had to. It is a great phone case.

The fan/exhaust from my power supply is facing downward and out of the case through the bottom vent. I have this case sitting on a desktop... and have not had any issues with heat. The feet on this case are about 1/2" tall and provide enough clearance for air to escape. I don't know what you are planning to set this case on... but if you put it in a normal place you should have no problems with heat.

Mine does not, but sometimes it gets really hot to the point I am concerned that it may melt the plastic case or cause a fire

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

I'm wondering the opposite, does it keep the phone nice and cool when the A/C is on? My iBolt is mounted on the window and my phone gets ridiculously hot.

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.

Mine doesn't get any warmer that it does without the case. The bottom is vented to prevent this from happening. However, the keyboard cover makes your sound output slightly lower.

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.
