Will it work with a galaxy s3 sitting sideways?

There is only enough give for the phone to sit in portrait or up and down. However this grip has a ball and cup rotating connection like your shoulder to allow it to rotate a full 360 degrees so the camera would then shoot in landscape. Also the tripod I have my grip on has even more adjustments so I can shoot either way, and even lock in angles.

My Galaxy 2 x with a case works fine with this unit, it measures 2 15/16 wide. There is a trick to install it, you have to slip it in one side and slide the other side down expanding the springloaded side. Mine works fine in both horizontal and vertical position. The other bonus is that the ball part fits into Garmin mounts perfectly.

That shouldn't be a problem. The design allows for pivoting your device. The grip is spring loaded and spreads to about 3 inches which should fit the phone. Eventually the spring will wear out, but the product is under $10 so if you get a couple years out of it then who cares. I use it for my iPod Touch (5th Gen.).

If the charging port is in the rear middle, but on the right or left side it will work. I turn the bracket sideways and it avoids the charging port.

It works well with my Samsung S4 and therefore it should work fine with the Samsung S3.

No. I have Samsung Galaxy s5 and only works horizontally. One, the phone isn't wide enough to fit the mount vertically. But just as important, the mount is made of very soft, pliable rubber that flexes too much to support a larger phone vertically. Hope this helps.

Yes, once you just turn the phone on it's side. Probably not enough room sitting upright.

The smallest phones are likely to be able to fit into the mount sideways. My Samsung Galaxy Note 4 does not fit sideways, but it is currently one of the largest phones.

I have a Galaxy S3 with a case and it works for me. I think it should work ok.

Yes, it will charge a Samsung Galaxy S3 when combined with a USB to Micro USB cable.

As you might be able to see in the photo, the unit has two side braces that are pressed together against the sides of the smartphone to hold it in place, plus a pair of supports on the bottom. So pretty much ANY size and shape smartphone will fit. The only question is where the charging plug goes. If the S3 is like the S4 I have, it's at the bottom, in the center, which will fit perfectly in this holder. It was my favorite holder, but got lost when I left it in a rental car. Oh well. Enjoy it.

My phone is an android Samsung galaxy mini 3 and holster works for me. I use it vertically but it goes either way.

Vertically yes definately. Horizontally im not sure. My phone wouldnt. I have a galaxy s4 active which is very large. However you can set it up vertically and there is a lock switch on the back that then will allow you to turn it sideways and lock it in place. I would say it works with most phones not matter the size you just have to work with it a little to see how it works for yours. Just be carefully when setting up and dismounting your phone. It can be fragile and will snap if your not generally careful

Yes it works with the samsung galaxy s3 and does fit when I have a super thin hard shell case (mine is an elago)

I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 and an Iphone 4 that both use one of these stands...i just turn them sideways and they charge fine. there is a gap in the bottom of the stand that allows you to feed a cord through if you want to charge it standing up. It will work either way.

I don't think that it will. The buttons on it barely match up with the Galaxy S3. My son tried it on the galaxy nexus and the openings didn't match up for the headphones and that charger.

If it is the same width as the S3 and has the power connection on the bottom edge, it will work fine.

The holder is sold separately, but it works on any tripod. I have an S4 also and I don't think you can get it portrait oriented while standing on a flat surface, the legs are too short and the weight of the phone will over-balance it. However, if you can wrap the tripod around something, it is very flexible and you'll be able to orient it in any way.

It will, but if you are going to use your head phone jack you will need to get a right angle 3.5 mm jack. The straight jack will not zip closed. I have an S4 with the right angle or 90 degree jack and it is a tight fit, but it DOES fit. I think the S3 is a little smaller.
