You can get Wizard front & back sets off ebay for a fairly decent price - tips: do a search , then reorganize results by 'most recently listed'. Any really good 'Buy It Now' deals that are 'about to end' have been picked clean. Only deal with sellers with positive feedback of 99% or higher. Only deal with sellers that can be paid with Paypal - your purchase is protected when you use Paypal. And make sure seller has a return policy stated in the terms of the auction. Avoid sellers based in China or Canada - neither has anything close to fast shipping for a decent price - you'll wait forever!
For a complete case, you'll probably have to get a 'broken' unit off ebay where you can tell that the case is not the 'issue' (busted LCD, missing USB port, etc.).
And then, the service manuals are available here for just about any of the phones represented on the XDA-Developer's Forums. Good Luck!

Is there a guide to stripping one of these down?

[Q] how to know u have a genuine product?

Hi XDA,
i ordered a Nexus 10 from Valuebasket as it isnt available in my country. Now im a little bit worried as it took over a month before they send it and it should arrive tomorrow. The shipping adress is from Hong Kong and this is what gets me worried as to my knowledge Nexus isnt sold in China.
I would like to know how i could easily check if the product i will get is actually a real Google Nexus 10 and not a fake one made in China.
Thanks alot for any help on this

I guess all you should do is go into Settings - Info about tablet and also could check in bootloader mode if all the options are the same. But in case it was fake, im sure you could easily see it on the box. And also, the tablet wouldn't look the same.

Could also try opening AnTuTu and see if it can verify you have a Nexus 10. Not 100% sure how sure AnTuTu is though.

Upload a pic of the box

Also check all the FCC credentials underneath the textured panel on the back.

I looked up the items you mentioned... Their website shows the corrects specs and branding for everything (MIMO+HT40, pogo pin charger, dual side nfc, 9000mAh batt. ). These are things easily checked that aren't found in combination on other tablets. The ad looks completely legit except the price... If it's Euro, it's just slightly more than msrp... Pound it is extremely high (don't know from the £)
The month delay in shipping? I wouldn't read anything into this since I get stuff from overseas (uk and Taiwan) that takes that long all the time getting through U. S. customs. Especially if they ordered it from another country and then are sending it to you. I think that is what they may be doing since the price is so much higher.. An authorized reseller should have it at the MSRP.
You should be able to tell if it is legit just by checking it visually and then under menu/about for system versions.. Run a free hardware info app to check the hardware/sensors.

I have to correct you, im from Spain and it costed me 400€ the 16gb version, and I think it also costs 400$? If the conversion was done from € to $ I should have paid 308€, as always there isn't any conversion made

You can buy it from Taobao in China and they do ship internationally. I have no experience with having products shipped outside but have ordered from the many time and they ship same day in China.
Price on Taibao is about 5200 rmb / 6.12 = USD
http://s.taobao.com/search?q=Galaxy+Note+3+N9002&app=detailproduct

the best bet is go on Taobao and find the highest phone quantity sold, that's a good indicator of trust worthy store.
there's about 1500 RMB price different between the taobao price and the Samsung store price.
good luck

please can you help me

[Q] Need to buy a SM9005 from Amazon, importing to India

Hi there guys,
Hope you all are having a good day.
So the thing is that I decided on getting myself a Note 3 (the international version). I sought the add out on Amazon and will be purchasing it soon.
Could someone who has an idea about the import tell me as to how much will the final price be that I have to pay after the custom clearance? I really need to know this before buying it. The on-shelf price of the Note 3 on the website is $705 and the seller is 'mygsmstore'.
It would be a great help. I can't ask questions on the website as I haven't yet bought anything from amazon.

Hi there,
I am also trying for the same. if you refer to my question here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47783662, I am trying to get this from Expansys.
Let me know if you are interested and/or want to pursue this!
Thanks,
Ckhurana

Even I was thinking of the same, however there are quite a few problems.
1. How good is the retailer. As we will lose all warranty since its a USA product. So we need to be pretty sure of genuineness of the product.
2. Customs is quite tricky. I have searched and could barely find a convincing answer about the customs aspect on importing the phone
3. Region Locking- Samsung region locks the device. i.e. if we get it from USA, how will we get a US sim to unlock it.
Would be glad if some community member can help us.

is that so well as i recall it i could see a number of sellers who directly import unused and unopened Note 3 from the US, only extra cost which the customer may need to pay is OCTROI if applicable.

Hi,
I see that you have ordered note3 N9005, even I am planning to buy one from US. But there are two main concerns, first, is this a genuine Samsung phone? Second, about region lock policy of Samsung.
So, please let me know did you face any region lock problem and how is your phone working so far (could you check your phone with android app which verify the originality of Samsung phone). If your phone is good, I can order from the same seller.

The retail price in S.Korea is 900,000 won ( approx $720 ) so any eBay price is going to be high to cover fees.

That listing has lots of grammatical and spelling errors ... I would be careful. Also MSRP is around $720. Its an LG not a Note 7. 1K is way too high.

I wouldn't worry about any spelling or grammatical errors, English obviously isn't their first language. The price is high though, but they're not selling it fun, they're out to make a profit.
Is it true only the Korean version will be tuned by B&O?.....

V20 $799.99, 4000mAH Battery?
http://www.welectronics.com/gsm/LG/LG-VS995-V20.HTML?gclid=CN_b6v3Sq88CFUEfhgodfdUJdA This seller I know nothing about but the 4000 mAH battery claim makes me suspicious.

Yeah,they're not as concerned about exact specs,especially for something that's not even available for shipping just yet.
They do have a phone number on their home page,perhaps they can give an ETA,that would lend a bit of credibility.
