If anyone is interested yesterday I ordered a Zagg Invisible shield for my Desire. £14.63 free delivery from here:
http://www.morpethmobiles.co.uk/proddetail.asp?prod=/AZJ37/-EV-HTC-Desire-Invisible-Shield&cat=627
Does show a pic of Nexus One but was assured by guy on the phone it's for the Desire. Will post how I get on fitting it late tomorrow (if it arrives
I'd be quite interested to see how this works / how good it actually is when you get it.
I would also be very interested to see if it is indeed a Zapp for the Desire and how it fits. I always like to protect my devices from scratches.
Funny that the ZAGG website doesnt have it... thought they are the manufacturer?
Hey guys, i run Morpeth Mobiles and just wanted to let you know that i received my own Desire late this afternoon and have found that it is indeed different to the Nexus one protector. We do now have some Desire specific protectors on order to arrive next week but there will be a delay with any orders already placed. Just wanted to give you a heads up really. If anyone wants to cancel an order please either reply to your order e-mail or send me a message and i will reply directly.
My apologies and thanks for your understanding

so the one you are sending me won't fit?
I have asked ZAGG about this few days ago, and they gave me a link to fill in our device type to know whether there are enough demand for invisibleshield on HTC Desire.
Here is the link that they gave me http://www.zagg.com/hotgadgets/index.php.

Of course it is different from the Nexus One - It is a different phone!
No invisibleSHIELD for Desire....yet
Like boge said above ZAGG haven't made a screen protector for HTC Desire yet.
The following is the email I got from ZAGG in response to my query re the same:

I would recommend clearprotector as they use same material with same lifetime
warranty but for less $$ ( I used both)
Their screen protector will be available within 2 weeks
We arent sending any protectors out until we have the actual desire ones in stock. Everyone who has purchased one already will receive an update e-mail on Monday and we will add a pre order notice to the site with expected delivery date. We have already received notification that the desire specific protector is in production and the turnaround from Zagg is usually very quick.
Thanks

Ordered mine . Enter the comp for the ipad on the home page and you'll prob get discount code. I got 30% off
Thanks for the tip. I got a 40% off code. Now trying to decide between ordering the full body or the maximum coverage option. They are the same price so surely going maximum coverage is more sensible? Are the front and back pieces the same in both kits?
Click on the different options and its shows you the outline of the shields. I went for the max, as i worrry about the sides of the phone which i didnt think full body covers fully....

I too got the 40% off and will probably go with the maximum coverage based on the fact its the same price as full body.

Just deciding on which one to get now.
I too another 40% discount code So many thanks for the tip james00000007 . Ive ordered 2 one for the misses also . Went for the full body in the end as it would appear max coverage may be a little tricky and I dont really need it all just want the screen really . Anyway £23 for both delivered 1st class
Where did you all get the codes?
I'm thinking of buying one of these, what is it made of? I quite like the fact it's not slippery in my hands just now

oh, never saw that, whoops.
i guess a more accurate question would be how does it feel? grippy, smooth etc? does it make your phone shiny all over or it is matt in parts?
I have just received an email from Mobilefun telling me I will not be getting the car mount I pre-ordered as it is now discontinued. I am not sure whether we should be worried or not that the official Samsung official mount for our few month old phones is now not going to be available. I have never seen a product discontinued before it was even sold.
Most peculiar. I've been checking around here too, no accessory to be found. Really need a car mount.
WTF!?!?!? That is kind of scary. I havent even had the chance to think about getting the "official" accessories as of yet and to hear something like this now???
Perhaps someone can confirm with Samsung and find out what the deal is on this?
I had the same with the carmount available on meritline... weird eh!
I've ordered the exact same of eBay though... kinda weird!
I won't argue with the mods but surely this is a news story not just an accessories one?
This is the one I ordered. Where on eBay did you find one?

I've got the brodit: http://www.mountonus.com/Samsung-Ga...t-With-Tilt-Swivel-Function-512167-26030.aspx
It's a real nice car kit.
The Brodit ones not bad but neither of them really appeals to me. I wanted one I could just clip the SGS into and it would be screen mounted and powered. No messing with wires or anything. I have tried to email Samsung about it but I am not holding onto any hope of a reply.
I bought one of the spider foot screen mount and it came with a car charger, leather pouch and a laynard. I was that impressed with it that I bought a second for my friend!
this is the one i have

althought, i have a herbet richter tower back part so all i needed was the bit that actually holds the phone, and it s a perfect fit.

I got the same one, do you ever have trouble getting the phone out of the holder? My clip seems to be very stubborn and always catches on the backplate of the phone, just wondering if you had the same problem
Thought I would share with you what the higher ups in Samsung have to say about this.
My (continuing) Question
To: Executive Office
Subject: Re: Car dock
- Hide quoted text -
Thank you again for your reply.
I think you are misunderstanding and that we are not making progress so I will try to explain again. Last year Samsung announced the Car and Media dock for the Samsung Galaxy S. Retailers began to advertise them for sale and to order them from yourselves. Two months later the retailers were told by Samsung that they were discontinued. This was before ANY had been delivered to the retailers and as I have said only two months after they had been announced. The retailers then contacted their customers, myself amongst them, and informed us of this. I have been trying ever since to get an answer from yourselves as to why this line had been discontinued in all countries apart from the USA market just two months after they were announced and before any had been sold except those sold in the USA. A greater part of the 10 million+ Galaxy S phones sold were not sold to the USA market yet that market is the only one that has these promised accessories available. If you cannot provide an answer would you now raise this enquiry to the next tier please.

The answer
Good afternoon Mr Pitman
The reason why the unit won’t be available in any of the Samsung subsidiaries is due to sales and marketing reasons. As a manufacture of many products, sometimes a product that is closed to being released can be stopped due to the market for that product changing and to this reason the product can become discontinued.
Unfortunately we are unable to provide you any other information regarding this product as we only handle the aftercare service of a product that has been fully released, nor can we advise who the best contact for your query is.
I can advise you to write a letter to the following address: Samsung Mobile, Samsung House, 1000 Hillswood Drive, Chertsey, Surrey KT16 0PS, I cannot guarantee that they will response quickly but you query will be looked into be that team.

Well, thats a gilbert answer... Gadgetization is androids weakest spot. And what gadgets and bling there is, well its fairly low quality.
This is iPhone's main advantage. One design and a forest of 3rd party manufacturers that have grown out of their garages and become professional suppliers.
There would be a huge upside for Samsung/HTC/Sony to mimic this by setting up their own production lines to mimic that market. I guess the problem is no one in house is willing to risk their neck and the people that sit on the money don't understand this part of the iPhone world.
I don't want to use both hands while attaching the device to a car mount - so 3rd party accessories are no-go.
I ordered an original T959 Vibrant car mount for my international i9000: http://www.daydeal.com/product.php?productid=48828&cat=5138
They ship nearly worldwide. It's 10 days ago and I am still waiting for its arrival.
You guys should do the DIY one from this thread, I did it and it is amazing, it looks so good, and holds the phone really nice.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=837841&page=2
Dirt cheap too, for a custom mount the whole thing cost me maybe 10 bucks at the most, including the epoxy.

So did you get your mount yet? Does the Vibrant mount work (properly) with the i9000?
Hi,
the first order was lost, so they sent another one, which arrived in 5 days or something like that.
Yes, it works as designed.
Snap it in, push the USB to the phone (the small box at one end of the mount) with one finger, that's it.
The phone detects immediately that it is a car mount and if you have installed the car app it starts also without delay.

Same thing here with desk dock (original as far as I can say) bought in Poland on Ebay-ish website. Samsung's app downloaded from xda (it's here around somewhere) jumps in the moment I connect the phone. Have problems with line-out though, but I'm on custom ROM so maybe that's the problem.
Nevertheless it really looks like S is making monkeys out of us.

I like the look of the Otterbox case but am concerned about what to do when mounting the phone in the car.
I've just received my DHD and am looking for cases, car holders etc. I like the Brodit range of holders, but guess it won't work with this Otterbox case.
Any suggestions?

aha i keep mentioning this everywhere...i dont work for them...i havent even had mine come yet...i'm hoping for it to come tomorrow...the main advantage for me is not having to take it out of the case!
the thing which annoyed me most about my Touch HD and the car holder was it kept peeling off the InvisibleShield from the back of my phone
@insty - I got it to quote to Australia.....(change country suitably, for 'state' the last option is something like "non-USA/Other)
@silencer - what, you're 30kg and lack the muscle to handle the combined mass of 189GRAMS of the phone/case? I'd consider the extra 5x6x5mm dimensions worthwhile for decent exterior protection. Get over it.
Ended up with a quote of $44 inclusive of postage, 10% discount and exchange rate.
Too bad I have birthday/anniversary presents coming up; waiting on back-pay and will jump on this straight away .
Looking forward to a proper review on it, not that I'm expecting much different to the usual Otterbox reviews/praise.
Tried to order one through Otterbox's website, but they don't like my address, even with the Australia/Non-US state chosen.
So I'll wait for it to turn up on ebay.

yeah I also see the 4 lines, everyone knows how much hassle they are when you order off of their website. It will commonly say still processing even after it had been delivered. They seem to be having a lot of trouble at the moment with the whole process, good luck contacting them. Fill us in with what they reply with
Seems a bit pricey...
What's it made of? Kevlar? Neoprene embedded with microscopic diamonds?
I got a case from ebay:

(sorry can't post URLs as I'm a noob!)
Does the job and looks pretty good too, stops the phone from feeling too 'slippy' and doesn't bulk out the phone by too much.
Very nice looks neat...

How long does it usually take to ship? I ordered on 11/8, and as of right now it still says "processing" and "not shipped". Their shipping chart says it should only take 4 days. Well that's today, and I don't have it. I emailed them, but like you said also, no reply. I was already charged too. The very next day. They take the money, but then that's it. I'm not in a rush for it, but it would be nice to know when I will get it.

Can people post their opinions who have got them? Does it make the phone too bulky, does the phone still feel good in the hand etc
Bonus points for photos of it on... as long as it won't make the phone stupidly large I'm going to buy one

Heard about their mounts here on this site and would very much like something to make my phone more usable in the car. Too bad they don't have a holder for us yet.
So I emailed their customer service and asked about it. Here's a snippet of their response:
Thank you for your interest in our ProClip Holders. Each of our holders are designed within millimeters of each device’s dimensions. At this time we do not have a Holder for the Samsung Infuse 4G. We do anticipate making one, however due to the large number of new products we are developing, we cannot give a specific date as to when this will be available. You will be notified by e-mail as soon as the Holder has been received at our warehouse and is ready for online ordering.

Got the same response when I emailed them last week.
Still very impressed/happy with adjustable ProClip holder I bought for iPhone 3G. I use it with the Body Glove Soft Gell and it holds Infuse perfectly. Used it the same with my Captivate and Body Glove and it survived a 75 mph sideswipe and slide on I-95. Made it to shoulder after getting missed by many other cars and phone was right where it was supposed to be
Haven't received an update from ProClip but just checked their site and it's listed. I've got one coming and will update again with a review next week if it comes in by the weekend

ProClip is the best. I have a whole drawer filled with their holders going back a number of years and variety of phones, the earliest being a Treo 650. They are absolutely great fit. Because they fit so well even a Zagg-like full Skin makes the fit too tight. That plus the fact you can't use it with a case makes it pretty useless (for me).
That being said I've recently ended up using only their adjustable holders. With the adjustable it will fit just about anything with and without a case.

They are awesome. This will be my 5th holder. But the one listed on the site is without the built-in power so I will have to wait a bit longer for that one.
Holly ****! ORDER SUBTOTAL USD $64.98 ESTIMATED SHIPPING USD $8.50
You can bet that I won't be ordering one.
They aren't for everyone. Supposedly this is the best unless you build your own. You might could find the piece that attaches to your car used and save a little...
Been using them since my Cingular/HTC 8125. Seven smartphones/two cars later they're still the best. Worth every, every penny. Got an adjustable one w/ 3G so it would accommodate Defender and still fits each of four phones/ cases later perfectly.

When I first saw the nexus 4 I was excited for the accessory possibilities.

There plenty just gotta search, if you want a high end pouch go on etsy, if you want a $10 mybat tuff hybrid case go on eBay,

Also, do not forget that the iPhone 4/4s has been there for a while already (it is from June 2010), while the N4 has released just some months ago.
Yet, there are plenty of accesories, just google for them (or look here).

I live in Paris. You can get plenty of accessories from ebay, DX.com, etc in Europe.
I thought it was a question thread asking for accessories, now I see it was just to complain at Google. I really do not see the point for a thread like that.
Go ahead, buy an iPhone.

So you bought a phone that is basically a developers phone, for half of the price of any phone out there with buying and your pissed because said phone isn't selling accessories at stores that don't have the phone in the first place? The beauty of this device is the fact that it's the cutting edge of Google's software development. Google is making very little from the hardware and is not a accessory developer. Apple on the other hand is all of the above, hence 3 million different accessories for their super popular phone. Companies make accessories for popular phones, see galaxy s3, iPhone, and that's about it. Is the phone is sold by t mobile or three or who ever is selling it in the bricks and mortar stores, you should check there, but the swear off any Google products...I think they will be okay, but they will be wanting their free everything you are using back, and good luck with BlackBerry iPhone and Windows. I hope you see the humor in my comment and don't take it personally

There are a decent # of accessories but if you're expecting iPhone numbers then get an iPhone. They make millions of one phone, android is considerably more diverse.

I tend to agree a little, to get the SlimPort cable to connect from N4 to TV is $50 minimum, if you want to charge your device while watching a movie then it's another $50 because Amazon don't ship to Australia for certain items - mainly electrical.
It sucks. I've honestly been turned off by Google since I've purchased my Nexus 4, from the debacle that was shipping times, to hardware problems with the phones and the support staff lying to me twice I was fed up with this experience.
Google didn't bother to pour millions into marketing the N4. (compare it to the iPhones and Galaxy Series) And, I'm ok with that. :good:
pissed me off really Speck declined the vote with over 1k3 votes but about to release a case for Galaxy S4. WTF?!? Incase has cases for galaxy s3, Incipio is making cases for HTC One and Nokia and the galaxy s3, Belkin is also on their way for Galaxy s4 cases. I MEAN WTF? sorry for my languages, but i've been looking for a good case so long.. even otterbox, decided not to make cases for our Nexus 4. SUPER PISSED!!!
sorry for my language guys..
Again, look how Samsung markets their Galaxy series opposed to the Nexus lineup; Basic supply and demand. :fingers-crossed:

There are plenty of other cases to choose from. If a company doesn't want to take your money that's fine, give it to a more deserving company.

Seems a bit of a trolling post, this.
Can't exactly see much of a shortage myself, what with the innovation of international shipping.
Since goods are generally cheaper in the States, you add a bit on for postage, and take a bit off due to the advantageous exchange rate, all in all it's a pretty good deal.
So I just ordered the (In my opinion.) three best accessories: official bumper, dbrand skin, and skinomi screen protector. I do love this phone and think that it will be protected well enough. I didn't start this thread to troll or imply that the iPhone is better. But damn those cheap Chinese aluminum bumpers are classy. I intended to start a conversation which accessory manufacturers might see, or somebody could point out some cool accessories that actually exist. (Which they did.) I think the arguments that the N4 is a development device and so manufacturers don't want to make accessories for it are invalid since the gnex had plenty of support from those awesome/cheap Chinese manufacturers, and more importantly, dbrand is making a killing on N4 skins. There is obviously a profitable market for N4 accessories.

I understand. But it'll come eventually. I remember there was almost nothing for the Nexus 7 mostly "Universal" fit items, generic looking TPU cases and crappy folios when it came out but now there's lots of options. Now that the supply issues are fixed for the N4 there are more items starting to come out. I think by the time I/O happens there'll be a variety of more options for the N4.
