Metal Replacement Cover for the GS3 - Anyone????

[jcp007]

Are there not NFC protection protocols on the GS3? To use or not to use is personal preference which I totally agree with. I have no use for it myself.

Not wanting to be hacked? You must not have seen what happened earlier this week with NFC? If the metal on the back of my phone prevents that kind of crap I'm all for it. Now I don't want the trade off of a weaker signal. Nfc was never important to me anyway. If I want to pay for something I'll do it the old fashioned way.

just dont use NFC lol

Don't worry I won't until I see some actual use for it. Although that use about the girlfriend nfc tag is genius.

LMAO. I don't have it on hand but if you Google it out should pop up. Think it happened Wednesday. The dude hacked the phone using nfc and actually took control of it. No thanks. I was pretty shocked to be honest. Thought they would have had better protection. It's videos of the guy doing it. He works for a security firm I believe.

Getting a metal battery cover is really not necessary considering you can just turn NFC off..no one can hack you via NFC, if you're concerned about that, if it's off.

If one reads the complete presentation about the hacking of NFC one sees that while it is possible to do in very controlled circumstances it is not something that can be done in the field under actual user conditions.
I for one am not giving up cell phones, computers, banking cards, card readers at checkouts, etc. simply because any electronic communication is susceptible to hacking. But to each his own.
