Samsung’s Galaxy S III has definitely created a polarized field. On one hand, the hardware itself, at least on paper, isn’t exactly the most spectacular. Samsung has, however, built in some nifty software goodies such as the eye tracking software, etc. to sweeten the pot. Similarly, the physical looks/construction materials have people questioning if the hype was really worth it. But above it all, it is actually one of the Galaxy S III accessories that has us...
