I have the original hard plastic casing, plus three much nicer rubber
casings shown in the previous photo, plus one full case (front and back),
which had a flip cover (like a book), which I didn't like (it got in the
way of the camera).

Luckily no case cost more than a buck or three.

I also have a bevy of microSD cards, simply because I use them as archival
media. In fact, I have so many 32GB microSD cards for this phone that at
one point I bought a 128GB card, but it kept corrupting the files even
though it was a brand name card. I think the S3 doesn't support 128GB so
that might have been the reason for the corruption, which stopped when I
replaced it with the current 32GB Sandisk card.

For the car, I usually use the 2-port cigarette adapters, each of which is
2.1 Amps (which used to be really difficult to find - but getting easier
over time).

Unfortunately, I've blown out three of them to date, each time when on a
long trip using map software with both the iPad and phone running
concurrently (bluetoothing to a visor-mount Motorola speakerphone). 

So, even though these Frys adapters 'say' they're concurrently 2.1 Amps,
apparently they're not. Luckily, they only cost about five bucks, and the
replacements are free so it only cost me five bucks and they work just fine
for years in all other conditions (I have them in the wife's car too and
she never blows hers up).
