Cheap good xoom case UK

Well I don't normally do this, but I ordered a case from eBay and within 2 days it arrived
The cost of this leather case including postage was £12.98 (free postage)
It's got quite a good solid feel to it and fit's my xoom very well, I half expected it to be rubbish for the money but it's not.
I would highly recommend this to any xoom owner. It's the only one I found that you have access to all ports and also allows the indicator light to show through when I get an email.
Mines the 3G version but I dont think that makes a difference. Also because the flap has a crease in it, this allows it to stand up for watching a film BUT if you lay it down the other way you use it to type on. Using it this way puts the xoom upside down sadly but it then allows you to charge it from the top
O.. and did I mention you also get a FREE screen protector with it!! I haven't fitted mine yet however.. I hate doing them because I always mess up and end up with lots of bubbles and fluff.. lol
Apol's if this is breaking any rules, but I'm that impressed with it I thought I would pass this on.
The current eBay link is http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250793933011
Happy xoom'in

It is not the only one which provides access to all sensors and buttons, and it doesn't provide access to charger port while being closed - as all other currently known cases.
Btw, you posted that in the wrong forum...

this is the one i got and its great. Had no problems with the ports, the holes some to be in the perfect position.

only "down side" (not sure if it is even that bed to be called that), is that the "hinge" of the case is at the bottom. So when charging the case cannt be closed all the way, btu i just fold it back(so the screen is not covered) when chargin and put in a drawer.
apart from what its a very good case for under £15.

that looks like its the same case. I think for the money its a bargain.
Had my xoom for few days now and loving it. Starting to use it more and more now... looking forward to the uk 3.1 update. From what I've been reading it might be out on the 27th may...
Fingers crossed

I bought the tuff-luv pull-tab case from eBay for about £14. Very nice.

Hi guys, I bought this one.
http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/view...=1&nav=WON&nid=32518807697&trxId=583007023013
Only £4.99 with free delivery
The case is a nice tight fit and adds no bulk, all port holes are a perfect match.
Best device case I've bought (cheapest too)
Screen protector that came with it was one of the cheaper ones that leave smear marks etc but I decided not to use it, I bought the item just for the case anyway.
I can't rate it highly enough guys.

Minimal Transparent Hardcases

Hi all,
Since I'm really fond of the back of my Nexus 4, but also want to have (at least a little bit) protection if it accidentally falls, I was looking for a transparent case that didn't add too much weight, bulkiness or thickness to the phone. First I bought a regular Silicone one, but this was bulky and didn't quite work for me so I restarted my quest!
Now I have found ordered the ones below, still waiting for them to arrive but if they do then I'll update this thread of course
Crystal Clear Transparent Hard Plastic Case
Bought on december 20th (expected arrival: January 15th). Looks really nice and slim on the included photo's.

Clear Crystal Transparent Hard Snap-On Case
Bought on december 27th (expected arrival: January 15th). Looks a litte more bulky, but seems to be more protective on the corners than the first one.
eBay Link (USA): http://www.ebay.com/itm/350677300796
If you find other transparent hardcases please let me know and I'll add them to this post!

There's also this two piece one:

I actually just received the first one yesterday, but decided not to keep using it. Problem is I have a back Spigen protector, and the case sticks to it, and bubbles up the edges as well. If anybody else within the U.S. wants it for the $4 I paid, give me a PM, you'll get it much faster then the 2+ weeks it takes to get it from China.

I'm interested in the 1st one as well. I wonder if it's the same thickness as the Rearth Ringke, or a bit thicker...update when you can!

I posted lots of pics an a review of the first case here check out page 4

I have also received the transparent case from China, included are some pictures. First impressions are that they have a really good fit, but indeed if you're using a back foil protector then you will get spots on the back with this case. Also, it scratches pretty easy but hey that's why it's a case

[Q] Are Note 3 displays interchangeable?

I have a T-Mobile variant of the Galaxy Note 3. I dropped it slightly and the whole thing shattered, LED screen cracked as well. I am looking to purchase a replacement and I see original ones on eBay but they were taken off of the CDMA versions of the phone (either Verizon or Sprint). If I were to purchase one, would it work on mine?

I'm able to do it myself. I just wanted to know before I purchased one.

If they are as generic as stated, then yeah no reason you couldn't do it yourself. - It isn't an easy feat from what I have seen though. - Best thing to do would be email Samsung or a phone shop and ask if the screens are indeed compatible for all models just to be safe.

I'm not able to find a original samsung screen replacement for the Note 3. Anyone know of a legit shop or site that sells them?

Never purchased one myself, but just did a quick search on google.. this place looks okay, dont take my word for it though, i did not research the seller. They are advertised as OEM parts though.

Dot view cover. Is it worth it and where to get it from?

I am curious if anyone has the Dot View cover for M9+ and how do you like it? I am in the US and the only source I can find is eBay and there are several different makes. Do you need an OEM one to get all the functions?
Thanks.

I love the HTC dot view 2 but i am so disappointed because I brought the genuine for m9 and i had it for 3-4weeks then its decided to broke by itself. I had to return it and get new one. And its broken again after 3 weeks. I dont want to get it again for my m9+.
Fake Ebay Dot view cover still works for all the functions.

i've ordered one from ebay, it's delivery is pending in the coming week(s), but now i will surely break, after reading it's so fragile Anyway, it was not too expensive, so if one breaks, i'll stick with my leather poach instead...

I bought mine from http://www.taobao.com the Chinese ebay
It costed me US$10 to buy two HTC M9+ dot view covers and two screen protectors and had them shipped to Hong Kong.
Unfortunately the website is only in Chinese. You may have to use Google Translate to translate it into English.
Better use WangXin (a messenger app) to chat with the seller and make sure he / she ships it overseas to Europe / US. It is ridiculously cheap. I have been using it for 3 months already. No problem so far!

I got one from Hong Kong ebay finally, it's not original HTC, but with HTC logos on it, it was called 'genuine' on the ebay, but clearly it's a copy of the original. I'm not yet sure how long it will last but so far it works like expected, tho it made the phone a two hand experience, as the cover on this one is always going back if i don't keep it open.
I still carry my leather belt poach for rougher rides like with my bike, so to keep it extra safe, but the flip cover seems to give just enough protection for everyday stuff. Tho' i wouldn't drop it, i think it still wouldn't help that

Now I've used the genuine fake from Hong Kong and it's working well, seems it will last a few months.
To have a no flip cover too, I've ordered a nillkin 0.6mm transparent matte. It's got a firm grip on the sides with rough surface where you hold it on the side. It's letting the look of the phone show well. Plugs the USB and Jack against dust. It was a few dollars on eBay.

Exynos but it's Globe locked from the Phils.

it really does depend on region.
in the US almost no flagship phones ever gotten free cases or preinstalled screen protectors. samsung only started doing the screen protectors this year.
I believe recent oneplus phones are the only flagship specced phones with US warranty one can get that comes with a free case? Maybe some of the asus ones too.

International versions tend to have them. My OnePlus 7Pro had a clear case. It's pretty cheesy but hey if you don't have anything at least you start with some protection, right?
Oh and the film over the screen isn't much of a protector. Sure it will prevent micro scratches from dirty fingers at the beach (and the film itself will show horrible scratches, like deeper grooves at a level 3!) but in no shape or form will it prevent shattering/cracking from a face down drop on a sidewalk.

I'm assuming only International version gets this and not US?

None here in Canada.
However, the Note 8 I picked up overseas came with a clear case.

Exynos, Poland, no case

Depends on the region.. we got it in india.. other Asian countries also have them I guess..

I think only third world countries get a free case. Latin American version also comes with free clear case

F/DS version came with it... But it isn't much good on a black phone. The one that came with the S10+ was a harder clear version and they was better for a glossy phone IMHO

I didn't get one ?. Exynos version unlocked (puchased on samsung.com) SM-G975FCWGXEF (note10+) 512Go.
They mentioned a case in the package list on the product page in the samsung shop when i purchased the phone.

I got one, but I change to a case with transparant back to show aura glow

Exynos version, Indonesia region. Got a clear case and a screen protector. Didn't bother to install the stock case as I got a much fancier clear case for the phone

Yes in Thailand
