Hey guys anyone knows from where I can buy an extra back cover ( the plastic cover )
I wanna make sure that I can buy in case mine gets scratched or damaged as it is plastic.
I would have been really great if they made the back cover metal instead of plastic.
Only found one page that said they had it, but didn't have a picture..
Also, it's a very new phone and not even released world wide yet. It will come eventually, i think
Try ebay if you trust it. Check the feedback ratings. Be careful for knockoffs, unless you don't mind getting one.
they'll be out very very soon, remember this isnt out worldwide yet

The small sliver of rubber that is stuck horizontally towards the bottom of the back of my Vario has fallen off.
I bought the device in the UK but am now out of there and the devices sold locally to me don't have this piece. Does anyone have details of a 'spares' company that could sell me this ridiculous 'part'? The stamp for the envelope will definitely be worth more than the piece of rubber but it's so handy and I want it back!
well, i would try calling the factory in taiwan, hah! (or making your own piece of rubber)
Yeah...mine fell of too...but I don't miss it at all, maybe that I will make my own peace of rubber sometime, but for now it does not bother me a single bit
if you live in atlanta i can give you mines i doubt anyone sells that piece, just buy the battery cover.
mine fell off too but I didn't really care. just get a black marker and color that part of the battery cover where the rubber used to be. it will look brand new again! lol
Egrips. check em out
Replacement battery covers cost $7 from HTC. Google them or search this site for contact numbers.
I'm just gonna search for a little piece of rubber and cut it to the correct size.
Then I'm gonna glue it to the battery cover of my Wizard. Only then I am sure it will never fall of again

I have a broken battery cover with the rubber part still on it. PM me your address and I'll post it to you.

i though i would share my thoughts on this case cover that i just bought. cost less than 5 bucks shipped from hong kong shipped (sambo-store). got it in 8 days from the time i ordered it.
fit was nice, not loose and easy to clip on. i was a bit concerned when i bought this because of the cross bar. i though it would interfere with the soft keys but to my suprise it really didnt. i press the soft keys anyways with the nail on my thumb so its no bother. if you use just the flesh of your thumb, then it will interfere. there is another case cover that you can buy without the cross bar. i bought one of those too but havent got it yet. i bought the case cover without the cross bar from a california company (ebay), for less than 8 bucks shipped and w/ california taxes. right now im happy with the cover i got on know and if for some reason it brakes, i got a spare.
even though the ad didnt say it, the case has a rubber coating on it that makes it feel grippy. also, the case does not add a lot of bulk to the phone.
my phone, x1a silver, and does not have any cracks. i can see that this case, nicely fit, can protect the phone and maybe prevent cracks. i say this because the case covers the area prone to cracking. i can see how phones may crack near the area of the battery cover because of the way the plastic angles to a thin point. i can imagine this area getting caught on the fabric of the pants or coat pocket and maybe causing the cracks. also maybe it can protect the area by the stylus by the way it kind of adds additional support around the area. it though may not help if you kind of stress the area if you happen to reinsert your stylus in a wrong manner.
if you have cracks in your phone already and tired of shipping or dont want to ship your phone back for repairs, then this case would pretty much cover the cracks. either that, get your phone repaired and then try one of these cases.
as for durability, i read that these cases break easily. i can see some truth to it becasue just by feeling around the case, i can feel and see how the edge of the case could get caught on something and would tend to pull the top cover and snap the little flimsy clips that holds it to the phone.
as mentioned, i have an x1a silver and the black case really acents the phone nicely. also, if wanted a black x1 but for some reason or another you got a silver one, putting this black case on pretty much makes it look like a black x1. most of the silver is covered and the chrome trimming is what is mostly showing.
the picture below is the type of cover that i bought even though it was from that paticular vendor. i just use the photo because it mostly matches what my phone looks like with the black case on. heck for 5 bucks, what have i got to lose.

i have the same case.. but that case cracked relatively easy.. so i bought another one. it's the same kind but it's transparent. the material for the transparent ones are different in the sense that it's stronger and i must say it looks better too. it reveals a lot of the x1a's shine.
emobileinhand.com has teamed up with Amazon and they're selling the Seidio Innocase for $24.85 shipped. I added Priority shipping and the total was $26.85. I bought my first Innocase from them but I got wasted on St. Patricks Day and broke it. The phone is fine, thank God.
The Seidio Innocase is hands down, THE BEST case for the Kaiser. The holster (strongly recommended) really keeps the device safe.
Right now, I'm using my Boxwave as a backup. I like it, but the belt clip forces you to wear it with the screen facing out which could lead to damage.
This is a great deal.

I have this case and imo its overpriced crap. The thing rarely stays on all the way. It seems there's always a corner or something to press down on again to get it to stay on it.
If you want a nice case cheap, just buy a cheapy. I bought one off Amazon for less than $5 and it stays on all the time never have to worry about it at all. The only difference is the holster and finish. The Seido has a nicer feel to it due some coating they put on it. And the holster for the cheapy is one of those screw on job's.
But hey if you want to spend $20 on a coating for something that will fall off, go ahead its on sale!!
Satisfied
I've used it for 2 weeks now and it stays on, feels great on hand, and haven't found any peeling of the rubberized layer.
I used to put on PDAir Aluminium for my SE M600 and it also go roughed up. So you can imagine my usage habit and this Seidio performs beyond my expectation.
Yea, I dunno man, I never have had a problem with my Seidio. You just have to make sure you have it on correctly. The boxwave is a very close second though. I wish Boxwave had a holster similar to Seidio's.
The great thing about the Boxwave is that it has a "notch" for the reset hole so it's almost impossible to miss and end up messing up your USB port.

I don't know how someone could fit it on incorrectly. It only goes on one way and its pretty obvious which way that is.
My biggest problem w/the case is that if i slide that keyboard out it will knock off the bottom hinges.
IMO its not a secure case. Is it designed well as far as all the little notches and slots? Yes. Does it feel nice in your hand? Yes. Does it look nice? Yes. Is it worth more than $5? No.
Is this really much different to the 'crystal cases' that you can buy from the markets and crack after a week in your pocket?
Dont u dare!
Dont even think about buying this pathetic case. after much debate i bought this hoping it would protect my kaiser. i spent a week looking for the perfect case, went through everything i could find. i received the case, it snapped on easily, i hardly had an issue with the little hinges, the case lasted me a good 18 months. the rubberised outside is a nice touch, imo the phone doesnt look good with the case, but i stuck with it coz it protects your phone, right? well not quite. what the assholes at seidio dont tell you is that yeah they've rubberised the outside but done nothing inside the case. its plastic, which means after a couple of months you start to accumulate **** inbetween the case and the outside of the fone. ordinarily it might not be a problem, but if like me the fone spends most of its time in the back pocket, in bags etc then any grainy kind of crap between a plastic cover and a kaiser = ? you guessed it, major dents, scratches, gouges etc. i didnt check the phone for a good 3 months after i put the cover on, when i took it back off my phone looked like id rolled it down a hill and then threw it back up again. its ruined my kaiser and now i cant sell it on unless i buy another housing and put it on myself. it may be error on my part assuming that a protective case protects the outside of your fone, i dont know. this is my experience of this ****ty case, take it or leave. i think you'd be better off buying the cheapy crystal ones, coz then atleast you can see when your phone needs cleaning and you dont end up ruining it.
sorry for going on and on.
paradoox
Thanks for your feedback paradoox,
anyone else have similar long term reports?
On a separate note, i found out that Boxwave do a very similar (nearly identical) case and holster. Anyone handled both the Seidio and Boxwave for a comparison?
yep thats pretty much what i thought

I had a similar experience as paradoox, bought it, thought it looked crap but left it on to protect fone, few weeks later discovered one of the little little tabs holding the top half of the case on snapped so it wouldn't stay on.. this is when i found scratches and dents under the case too. imo ... the case is just too expensive for how it performs... better to go thu 3 cheapies i think..
It all depends on your usage and carry habit.
I carry my phone on a leather pouch on my belt, with the Seidio snuggly fit on it, so it won't slip whatsoever.
It does make sense that some grits, etc. will get under the case, but I just opened it up 1-2 weeks ago and found nothing. Remember, I live in Jakarta, taking public buses and lots of fumes, dust, etc. around the air.
Of course it has to be also counted that I rarely open my phone in public (dusty, windy area) mainly for security reasons. I don't flaunt my belongings. I worked in an office building, and the phone is often out, but it's a clean environment.
Again, YMMV. For someone who wants no dust, I read somewhere there's a waterproof case for Kaiser ..
For my use, Seidio works great.
hi all
got a "little" problem.. my HD2 battery cover got a little scratch from day one.. thought it was not so bad and just ignored it
but it got worse from week to week, month to month
now this little "scratches" are big, very big xD and it looks like the metal is loosing his upper coating or so
now i dont know what to do, first i wanted to make an engraving on it, but not when it looks so ugly xD
thought about buying a new one from htc store..but its so expensive for just a piece of metal and i didnt find another seller.
now im thinking about scratching the whole upper coating away.. maybe it will look even cool Oo
u got some advise for me how to do it, or if i even SHOULD do it? xD
its a bit weird, cause i never dropped my HD2 or scratched it in any way.. maybe its just my pocket, or maybe there were some little stones on the table wich scratched it.. i dont know :3
look at the pics how my poor HD2 battery cover is looking now ;(
actually it seems to me like some kind of chemical dropped on the back and consumed those ares, from where the coating slowly peeled off expanding the naked area... I'm not even sure you could ask a warranty servicing for the backpanel.
In my opinion, it seems to be a manufacturing defect. If u are right that u made nothing wrong, then i would say it looks like a bad conditioned surface before coating.
In that case it's an issue for warranty
nu.. means i have to send it back to htc :/
lol i cant be without my leo for some weeks xD
and im still thinking about scratching the whole surface away.. it might look very nice.. xD but then i cant use warranty T.T xD
They're selling them soon in their store, not cheap though...
http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_item.aspx?i=195872
you may want to check this http://cgi.ebay.it/Back-Battery-Cas...wItemQQptZPDA_Accessories?hash=item3efe39e88b
Cheapest I've found. And you even get couple free tools that I wish you'll never need.
I don't know if I'll be buying it tho, the part that gets consumed in the plastic sides onto which the metal cover clings, the metal cover itself it not going to wear with time for sure.
aah, nice, thats much cheaper than the one from htc store..
lets see.. dont know yet, cause i just asked someone who works with metals such stuff, means we could scratch it off and repaint it with even better colour or so..
then going to engrave something..
i think im going to try that first before i buy a cover, lets see how i fail =D xD
I recently bought a Tegra Note and i want some advice from the rest of the community , it would be nice if people can post what cases they have bought as i am unable to find a cover for the tegra note which protects both the back and the front or just the back (gel case).
Is there really no cover or case which has been made for our tablet ( all functions including camera accessible)?
Thanks for the contribution.

There is a flap cover but you will have to shop around as some are made for Asian Tegra Note and others for Western Market. The Asian versions maybe cheap but maybe weaker than official Nvidia designs. Like the flap-cover equated to about $10 for me buying off AliExpress.com when included in a bigger order.
You could find a seller of this tablet that also does the flap cover and ask if they will sell separately.

Hi mate theres a few on fleebay that it fits in but not properly due to the shape and speakers set out. However the offical smart cover has just hit the UK
http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/lapto...ga-tegra-note-7-cover-black-21847928-pdt.html
Its a Rip for £20 but they look smart in them. The Note 7 has a magnet on the bottom speaker side at the back
Its worth getting you can buy 3 or 4 cheaper ones over time will fall apart and not look as good or buy the real deal. Mines on order for pick up later today:0)
No discount codes either but 3% back on quidco thats a maga 0.60p yay.
You could wait a few months until the copy ones come out and other people have more to sell
Tegra case isn't great
The official covers seem to have sold out at PC World and Currys. I found out today when mine broke and I tried to order another one. I liked the cover but it was not worth £20. When mine broke, it was the hinge that snapped with little force. But I was able to see that the silver plastic hinge is not strong enough; the plastic is too weak and the metal bar that holds it is only an inch long at each end and very thin. You can also see that the amount of plastic surrounding the bar is minimal, so don't lift the cover in a way that leaves the tablet dangling. Essentially, these are design flaws that mean it doesn't last long. A pity, as the sleep mode and variable viewing angles allowed by the main cover worked well. I haven't yet found a copy. Better materials and a little more thinking in the design department about the official cover and I wouldn't need one.
