Also two new charging accessories have been announced; a wireless charging back plate with associated charging pad and a multi-charging cable which allows charging of up to three devices at once

Hmm, what ever happened to the wireless charging capability that Samsung promised for the S3?

I'm interested to hear from other folks, but to be honest I'm less than impressed with Samsung's accessories. Not only are they Apple-style "premium" priced, but the ones I've treated myself to haven't been any better than the (cheaper!) 3rd party alternatives. The S3 desk dock especially is a pretty poor effort - check out the reviews on Amazon. Likewise the covers - better choice (and prices) on eBay or Amazon Marketplace.

Other think I'm curious about is the windows in the cases, doesn't that expose part of your screen to damage? If so, then it seems daft since surely that's why the phone's in a case to start with!

Eurghh... that fake leather look is just awful and gets worse every time I see it. I can't fathom why they did this. Just look at the pics going round of the new HTC One. Why anyone would get the Sammy over that is a mystery but each to their own I suppose...

It's in their intention to make these accessories not very durable so people will just keep on buying. Sad, really.

Those covers are genuinely hideous, you can buy far better on eBay from China.

That first image made me think its a Samsung's version of iPod didn't knew it was an ugly cover.

That case doesn't really protect the screen from scratches
