Magnetic stylus + ballpoint combo

Hmm.. looks like the thread about stylus/ballpoint that I posted a couple of days ago got deleted/rollbacked along with the server shuffle, so I'll post it again - basically I'm looking for a magnetic stylus that has ballpoint/pen. Someone posted a link earlier but there was some mix up as to whether its a ballpoint/stylus or simply a regular one.
I looked around the net and found some made by Styra or Songtak, but not whether those are magnetic. If they are not, wouldn't they fall off the phone? Any help on this is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Update:
I emailed tham and this is the response:
Thank you for your inquiry at Seidioonline. We are more than happy to assist you with your concern. Yes, those stylus contain a magnet like the oem model.

hey man, Thanks for the offer. I'll take it if you're getting them from eBay. the ideal price would be $3/each including shipping (that's the price I got for the stylus of my tilt)
But you have to be careful, the stylus of a Fuze is slightly different from a Touch Pro

I go one from ebay, the listing said 3X so I assumed there would be three of the stylus/pen units but there was only one! For $10 it is one expensive stylus!

for $10 it's not worthy
maybe is 1 package of 3 stylus
that's what I got for the Tilt... but it's better if you check with the seller.

Buy 3 get 1 ... Is it a magnetic one by the way? I've been asking around, and discovered that most of them aren't. Wouldn't it fall off easily without the magnets?

that little son of a... i fell for the same thing too! i now noticed the listing says "quantity: 1".
have you contacted the seller about it?
i haven't got the chance, because i used my girlfriend's ebay account to order (she's from USA), and i dont have her password. =(

I complained after the package arrived and they sent me 2 more! AAA+++ for this seller, don't see that level of service on ebay much these days

no way! i'll try that right now. that IS good service. did you write anything special?

Here is what I wrote:
"Hello,
I received my stylus but there was only one in the package when the title reads "3X" which I interpreted as "three times" or "Three included"
I'm dissapointed, please advise"
They sent me a tracking number the next day along with a friendly email to let me know they were taking care of it!

I bought them and they are not magnetic and they fall right out of the Fuze.

Thanks, good to know

anyone know where to get the stylus that comes with the Touch Pro? I lost mine none of them I have found seem to look like the OEM. I'm sure they work but I would like the OEM to replace it with.

Anyone selling this phone?

Hi!
I'd like to buy LG eXpo (GW820/825), so if someone wants to sell it and is willing to send it waaay to Europe, please let me know.
No screen scratches please (screen protector used from the start), minimum visible usage and a warranty cards or any other proof of purchase for a possible reclamation with the manufacturer and/or AT&T.
Members with some posting history preferred (no one-post-wonder scammers).
Thanks

you could probally find a seller on american ebay that would see you an expo for a pretty good deal.

I know and I monitor eBay. But it I encounter many problems there:
- Seller does not send abroad.
- Seller does not have a warranty card.
- Seller can't provide quality photo of the phone.
- Seller does not communicate.
So I try even this approach

good luck to you. I hope you can get an expo this forum is lonely.

Yeah, but this one is better

i am ready to sell the phone let me know

Thanks for your offers. I got Acer M900 in the meantime, so for the time being my demand for LG eXpo is not actual. If I find the Acer not suitable for my needs, I'll renew this thread.

My Story & First Impressions

Hi there,
Probably hundreds of other threads similar to this one, however I would like to share my experience with the HTC One and also how I actually got my hands on one today!!! (Sunday 24th March)
Let's start with how I actually got my phone, which is the advice I'd like to give. Me and my mother decided to take a trip to Manchester as I hadn't bought her a mothers day present. We got to Manchester, and started having a look about when I found myself in the Phones4U shop in the Arndale Centre. (ground floor as there are multiple stores, near the Apple & Vodafone Store) I just happened to see the One, and I picked it up and immediately fell in love with it! I asked the sales guy if they had any in and he just replied 'Yes'. After speaking to his manager he said I could buy it Pay as You Go for £489! I was shocked as it is £529 from ALL retailers online and also, it isn't even shipping yet! Anyway, I ended up buying the phone and my Mum paid for her own present don't worry, I'll pay her when I trade my iPhone 5 in! :laugh: SEE THE ATTACHMENT
Anyway, as far as first impressions go, my iPhone 5 now feels FAT after using the HTC One. The only issue that I have had with it, is mine is getting incredibly warm. However right now it's on charge, and now is the only time I have noticed the heat so I'm putting it down to the first charge. It's been a while since I was on Android, so I'm glad to be back in the game.
Any advice on screen protects would be greatly appreciated, heard the actual HTC ones are a little expensive for what they are, anyway thanks!
Mike

Nice! Good to hear that they aren't as hard to come by as one would think. Maybe it bodes well for online outlets and may in fact have them in stock and were told to hold them for release until 25. At least I am hoping.
For screen protector. I took a plunge and backed these guys on kickstarter.

Do they even do these for the HTC One? It's not listed.
Also, how can they do a front and back for iPhone? The back of iPhone 5 is textured so not sure how they will stick!

Thanks for the replies. In regards to the Rhino Shield on the iPhone that someone mentioned, it would indeed stick to the back. The only thing that put me off buying my HTC One was the fact that I'd spent £25 at Carphone Warehouse UK getting a Zagg Screen Protector and having it fitted on both sides.

[Confirmed] Xperia Z5 Premium Bends Badly [Confirmed]

Even before this, i have made a thread where i confirmed this bend problem, but now ill make this, as we got more official proof.
Xperia Z5 Premium has a serious bending issue, it bends like ... I dont even know! It can EASILY BEND IN YOUR DANG POCKETS! So watch out, carry it in a bag or something? Hhhmmm i dont, but it sounds better than carrying the bending thing in our pockets. But im still after this carrying it in my front pocket, because i dont do anything, jump or run or anything with it in the pocket.
>>>> https://youtu.be/gVPa8sNY1Xw <<<< (Might be painful to watch)
IT WON'T BEND BADLY IF YOU DONT RUN, JUMP OR DO ANYTHING WHAT MAKES IT UNDER ANY PRESSURE! ( the problem here seems to be that you really dont need alot of pressure to bend it!!! ). Ive been seeing that climbing stairs is too much for the phone, it can bend from even that. (mine did, slightly bended). Mine is also silghtly bended from the middle. (the other way, its bending in to the shape of a pipe)
As we are mostly happy owners of this device, we need to work together to find solutions!! As i dont have a case, i have no idea will it stop the bending.
>Case owners comment below for their experience!<
>All case owners reply and comment their case and opinion and whatever you want<
>THIS THREAD WAS MADE TO INFORMATE PEOPLE WHO ARE ABOUT TO BUY THE DEVICE AND OFC THE OWNERS OF THIS DEVICE. IN THE ANSWERS WE ARE TRYING TO FIX THE PROBLEM! NOT TO MAKE NO ONE BUY IT!<

I took my Z5 premium for 4 2-3 days snowboard trips and it's in my arm pocket of snowboard jacket, I took alot of falls and rolls and phone is fine... If someone bends the phone on purpose for sure it will bend... Which phone will not bend if you bend it with force??? I was using a clear case and it looks horrible with scratches and finger prints so I took it out from the case. Come on guys if you are afraid of scratching damaging it, only solution is DO NOT USE...

You've got to have quite a ham for a head to bend your phone

I'm using one of those devilcase's since the very beginning (actually, I ordered the case way before I ordered the phone) and I'm very happy with it. It fits like a second skin on the phone (a second skin, just a few mm thick aluminium) and it makes pretty sure nothing will happen to the phone (for front and back I use hardened glass protection)
I would recommend it everybody, though I bought it just for the looks

lol

Naaa but thx xd

This is beyond ridiculous lol. If you bend a phone hard enough, yes they will bend. Some will bend more than others. But I highly doubt you're going to put it in your front pocket sit down and get up to a bent phone. If so you might need to lay off the skinny jeans. Even in the video the guy looked like he was struggling to bend it. I'd say this is a non-issue.

Big yawn. Oh my gd, I bent my phone and now it's bent.

The majority of the people that bought this device is probably extremely rich and will probably get a new one just like that. I was lucky enough to get it for $470 and will probably cry if it broke or bent.

Wow, that's insane. A phone that costs one salary at best. You're right, if you save money for a purchase I guess everyone can afford, but I would never spend that budget of my salary on a phone. I guess it's up to your interest in that category to spend that budget. If you like the device, it becomes an investment, so there's nothing wrong in it.

Protential ebay Buyer of Galaxy S7 Edge SM-G935U Beware (It's a SM-G935P)

I recently purchased 3 S7 edge G375U from ebay seller "cellitems" and my experience is far from acceptable.
Only 1 out of 3 looked new. 2 out of 3 were scratched up especially on the flash and sensor lens on the back. All 3 came with the box seals broken. When I contacted them they assured me they were new and only opened for unlocking. I was thinking what? These are factory unlocked to begin with!
I started looking more closely to these phones and it turned out all them are Sprint version G375P with G375U ROM installed. Although it works fine but I surely don't like being lied to.

If admin see this, please move this thread to the discussion. Posted here by mistake

"Although it works fine but I surely don't like being lied to."
For the principal, I'd go for a refund, or more assertive resolution that failing... and look elsewhere

Asking for a refund on 2. Keeping one for personal reason. I think ebay should have a better system in place to punish these sellers. It's said that most customer didn't know they got tricked. 1 star feedback will be given. I wish ebay can notify other buyers of this scam.

I think the buyer should be more careful and reading the ratings for example. Not reading the positive ratings.. Read the negativ ratings. I didnt say its his fault... I dont like it too and hate them sellers.
To the op :
Did you Pay via Paypal? So u can Open an issue on Paypal. Until its not solved the seller didnt get his money

Ratings and feedback mean nothing, I bought a PS3 controller from a guy with thousands of 100% positive feedback, controller was a fake
Bought iPad charger from someone with very high 100% positive feedback, also fake
You want to know how they keep their 100% positive feedback? The same way they tried to get me to reverse my negative rating by refunding me under the agreement that I could keep the item as long as I changed my feedback from negative to positive (I did not change my feedback)
eBay ratings = Nothing
You got lucky

For my personal use, I ended up buying it from Bestbuy. Even Items directly from China operated store was good. Got one of those Lenovo's fastest tablet for cheap!
Recent experience of buying new phone on eBay (all local USA sellers) is horrible. Aside from S7 edge, I bought a LG G5 in the summer and ended up returning them all, 5 times total. Again, the phone was installed with unofficial ROMs.
I would like to add, buying from individual ebay sellers (not one with a store) is mostly safe.

I would like to add never buy parts from FixEZ on ebay as they claim oem quality And most def is not...
I bought a lcd and frame assembly from them and its made of reg glass not gorilla and there cust service rep cussed me out when I sent the screen shots of the website as he told me they never claimed oem.
Which they most def did...
The screen cracked in my pocket when i sat down just from the pressure in a front pocket of fairly baggy pants might i add
This was for a LG G4

There is one advantage to there being so many fakes on eBay, so long as the seller advertises them as genuine, and they are not, you can usually get a full refund along with them letting you keep the item if you complain they are breaking eBays Ts&Cs by false advertising
They'll usually try to get you to accept 50% refund & keep the item, but if you push them and tell them you want them to send you a pre-pay box to return the item for full refund & will contact eBay about their false advert, 90% of the time they refund in full and you get an automated message from eBay saying you do not need to do anything else nor return the item
And tbh, I feel no sorrow for them losing any money considering they know they're scamming so many people with fakes

Does factory sealed mean anything when buying on ebay ? Or is there a workaround for that too ? like fake seals or stickers

Everything is possible on eBay, easy enough to buy shrink-wrap and claim it is factory sealed
Stickers have often been faked
Firmware on the phone has been faked
Model number on the back of the actual phone has been faked
Model number on the box has been faked / wrong box used
Buy new if you want 100% guarantee it is what you are buying, or make sure you have a good and sure way of being refunded if you still go the eBay route

ok so I went the ebay route. I found an individual seller, not one of those cell phone stores. I got 2 of the 930FD for $460 each. Not a great price but not too bad I thought. They were factory sealed and brand new. Thankyou all for the tips and suggestions.
