Hi all
Interesting if you're OCD like me. I bought 2 phones from oppo euro store (I live in the UK). Nice fast delivery.
Now this has me puzzled. Both phones arrived in the OPPO cardboard shoe box. When I opened the 32gb midnight blue version I found the presentation box was sealed in shrinkwrap, however the white 16gb version I bought for my wife came in identical packaging but the presentation box was not shrinkwrapped.
Different factories maybe?
Were yours shrinkwrapped or not?

Yes agree. Although the shoebox wasn't factory shrink wrapped on mine but it did have that novel perforated flap that you have to tear off.

European shop, delivering 32gb midnight to germany: package wrapped in black tape with postal sticker on it, unwrapped that and there was the brown box not wrapped again + the eu-charger, inside the brown box was the real packaging, covered in some thin transparent plastic.

Same is my blue one ... actual box with the magnetic lid was shrink wrapped. Interestingly the white phone wasn't. Oppo have told me its likely due to differing dates of manufacture

Which of the cases did you get from Elite? Was it the flip or one of the pouches? I have my concerns that the pouch style from Krusell won't fit the K-Jam...
I have on each of 2 Krussel cases that fit the K-JAM fine.
A vertical pouch and a horizontal pouch.
In Krussel terms it is an S-Wide fitting.
And is exactly the same pouch as for the Sony Ericsson P800/P900 series phones.
Cheers.
Robin
Thanks very much.
Do you suffer from the screen rotation problem with the Krusell horizontal case?
Si.
I THINK I spotted it once but SIGNIFICANTLY better than the case that comes with the phone.
RObin
Did you get the Horizontic, the Platinum or the Horizontic+ and which dealer did you get it from?
Additionally, Krusell state that internal dimensions are 113 x 51 x 23...
The width (51) doesn't seem wide enough for the K-Jam...?
Si.
This is one of them.
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/product/1674.htm
and this is the other
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/product/4153.htm
Personally I use the second one a lot more than the first one.
Just feels better to me BUT I do change them depending on my mood.

Do you know what, your right.
HOWEVER they delivered the NEW STYLE.
I did notice the difference as I have one of the old ones but the belt clip were t attaches to the leather is broken.
I do prefer the new version.
Robin
So, to confirm, Mobile Fun delivered you this one...
http://www.krusell.se/productUni.php?productID=1436&category=27
And the K-Jam fits, despite the fact that it's wider than Krusell's stated internal width of the case?
Yup thats the one.
Was a tiny bit tight but freed up fine in a couple of days.

I saw the black rubber case at T-Mobile and although I'm not usually fond of rubber cases, this case was a lot more sturdy and stiffer than a the traditional silicon cases. I'm considering it.
It's pretty beefy and houses the phone well. I particularly like how on the front (screen side) the edges come out to where if the phone ever were to drop face first, it would give some elevation to avoid the screen from making contact with the ground.
Has anyone seen any other cases out there for the phone? If so could you please post a link.
I bought the black one, but you should look in the accessories forum.

It should be fine. Same phone. The only thing I noticed about actual cases for the Galaxy S was that for the i9000's they have a whole on the upper left of the screen, where a button? or something is exposed. I guess it's a key or button for a function. What the heck is that? haha..

The international version of the Galaxy S has a front facing camera on the front of the screen towards the top and that's probably what the hole is for.

Morning all,
To all you UK oppo find 5 owners (I'm assuming I'm not the only one!) - have any of you come across a UK supplier selling accessories? I bought a case from ebay but it's coming from China and will take about 2 weeks to arrive. I quite fancy the flip cover being sold on oppo's official site but I think 35 Euros (includes delivery) is a bit steep.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
Much the same as you unfortunately. I ordered a couple of cheap Nilkin (knockoff?) cases from eBay 2 weeks ago but still not received them. They don't protect the top and bottom so are really just for rear scratch prevention.
Yesterday I looked at loads on Aliexpres (China suppliers) and grabbed a rubbery TPU that at least covers all sides and has a little bit of impact protection. I've also gone for a couple of those Aluminium (read signal killer!) cases as they were on offer for£22~ delivered compared to other places like Taobao agents or Casefanatic where the price is almost double.
Not sure we'll ever see UK sellers unless it's at inflated prices given it's not a mainstream phone. Might do a mini-round-up when/if they all arrive as it's hard to tell from just pics.
Here's my list...not really expecting any of them to be perfect. :cyclops:
eBay Nilkin
Alu case (ordered 1 black and 1 silver)
Plastic red snap-on (no idea if this will be decent or not)
TPU stretchy thing (might be good for grip with pattern?)
Bit of a shot in the dark with those but don't really see the Easy Cover worth the price given the top/bottom are exposed and I'm not a fan of wallet-type cases.

hello, im new here, sry my english isnt good.
Today I went to buy the s4 but in the 3 stores I went, none came with the plastic screen that says Super amolet nfc etc. It came a normal transparent screen protector. they say that the printed plastic screen that says samguns not come anymore. is true or false?
I am in doubt because they are Chinese
and do not want to buy something that is not new

Well I would not even buy if the box is not factory-plastic-wrapped
Not sure if the same applies to the newer S4's that are shipping, but when I went to get my S5 (second hand, but never opened) it came with a clear screen protector style cover over the screen. The box had never been opened and it was 100% genuine.
Maybe Samsung are cutting back on things, or they realise that using a pre-fitted, temporary screen protector is better?

Thanks for your reply, when you say that i should expect plastic wrap, do you mean on the exterior of the box, or inside the box. All the phones that i have bought here in Panama are never with plastic wrap around the box. With regards to the plastic on the screen, would you say that the newer phones might be bringing the plastic clear so they serve as temporary screen protector. Would ordering stateside be better and if so do you recommend a reputable dealer.
thanks

That's odd, I live in Costa Rica. Some stores sell without the plastic wrap around the box. But I never buy like that cuz I cannot guarantee that the device has never been used. I always buy my devices with plastic wrap around the box. I highly recommend you to do the same. Otherwise you never now if it has been damaged in any way.
I recently bought samsung galaxy s4 i9500. The device came with transparent sceen guard and it was sealed packed too. The. Ox says that it was manufactured in March 2014. I Guess now they are shipping the transparent screen protected devices.

Received my Boost Mobile Sharp Aquos Crystal on October 16, 2014 and after a few hours of tinkering,
started shopping for the usual case / holster with belt clip and clear screen protectors. Here are what
I ordered on eBay for my new smartphone . I will promptly post reviews of each upon receipt:
Case / Holster $5.99 <Received 10/20/2014. stitching quality is decent but case is so tight, can hardly get phone in/out & zero padding inside case. Seller admitted size error, refunded.
Next, I ordered this case for $5.99 < This seller DID NOT send me the case as pictures in their eBay listing. They sent me a case that is too small for this phone AND has cutouts that would allow the corners of the phone to be damaged if dropped. Package label says case is for a Samsung phone, not this Sharp phone. I contacted seller, no response in past 24 hours. Ordered from a 2nd ebay seller with same results. My search for a GOOD case/holster continued.
NOVEMBER 6, 2014 UPDATE: Finally found a case/holster that IS THE CORRECT SIZE AND protects the ENTIRE Sharp Aquos Crystal: $7.95 case / holster.
Screen Protectors (pack of 6) for $1.99 < Received in 4 days & perfect fit for this phone. Note: Pull back Tab #2 slightly BEFORE applying to phone or you might not be able to remove it after you iron out the bubbles.
Both prices including free delivery in USA.

Another option if you like the nakedness of the Crystal is TechSkin from Skinomi. I just got mine yesterday and its very eye-catching. Its an adhesive phone skin and screen protector(I got the black carbon fiber). When shopping for it, I was a little apprehensive that it would look cheesy, but its way better than I hoped for. The way its cut comes right up to the chrome and makes it stand out. Its textured too, so its not just some cheap sticker. The good thing about it is you can still use a case. I didn't use the screen protector though; I don't know, my phone just want to show all its glassy glory. I got mine on Amazon for around $12. They also have woods and brushed metals.

Sure!
That actually looks terrific! I saw that and the other stick-on cases on Amazon you mentioned, but gave no second-thought since the manufacturer pictures looked chintzy and not worth it.
You know, that's what I thought too. But once I got it on, my son walked by on his way to the kitchen and was like "Wow." That's a lot coming from a 19 year old. The quality is way higher than I expected, a real high-end look and feel.
Late as this post is, anyone try the snap-on cases? I bought this one http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OOGDRVK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Clear-Ice brand carbon-fiber snap-on case, sort of like a bumper case on the iPhone 5S. I do like the idea of the sticker thing, but it doesn't appeal to me, personally. I want the device more sealed in.
I'm getting my phone and case on the 10th, so I'll see then. I'm just curious if there's been more exploration than these stickers, or adding a tertiary pocket for your phone.

Actually, I got my phone and the case and am impressed by it. It snaps on with some click, it holds well, and it fits the nature of a bumper case quite well. My real complain stems from it not being an actual carbon fiber cover. It's just this gloss shell with a bunch of black squares gridlocked together to imitate carbon fiber in appearance and nothing more. It's actually more slippery than the naked phone. It protects it, I'll admit. The snaps over the edges actually protrude that little bit out from the screen, giving it the most subtle protection from surfaces.
Disappointingly, I ruined the screen protector in the process. I'll probably either buy a set or look up how to clean one and apply them properly.

I picked up one of the hdx Zagg screen protectors over the holidays on sale and also got one from a family member as a Christmas present.
I will sell the extra at a cheaper price than what you normally could, if anyone's interested message me for info.
