does anyone have any more info on this item located on the shopamerica site? looks just like a seido holster but the 2nd half of the product detail is what caught my eye
http://shopamerica.htc.com/accessories/productdetail.htm?prId=37587
I really like the looks of it, Let us know how it is.
Interesting... from that page:
What's more, the case includes intuitive technology that helps preserve battery power, while also recognizing your in-holster notification settings and preferences.

I question that @ $25.
There's no contact with the pins on the bottom of the phone so either they have bluetooth in there (unlikely) or, because you put it into the holster face-forward, it uses the proximity sensor to keep the screen off... saving battery.
I'd like to know what they're actually talking about.
nexus one holster
Does any one have any idea where the heck I can pick one up at? Thank you.
I wish I had seen this 2 weeks ago. I just shelled out 30 bucks for the HTC leather horizontal holster. Though, so far it has been great. The only other open holster I have ever used was the body glove one on the G1. And it was a very bad experience. The slide cover only lasted 4 hours before it fell off and was lost.
Spoke with HTC today to get any additional detail on when they will receive any in stock soon. The site says backordered. The rep said your best bet is to check weekly to see if they get any in stock.
Bottom line, customer reps know zip on the status as well. LOL Wasted 30 mins on hold.

I think it would have taken you about the same time to sew two pieces of neoprene together...
unfortunately, i have dropped my phone on the ground a couple of times, and now, the lighter grey part (front and side) are full of dents and scratches. As you can see in the pictures below.
i had a lot of searches, but couldn't manage to find a replace original case on the web. Does anyone know if I can get one somewhere?

I called HTC at 1-888-231-4736 and ordered the part for $23.99 shipped via Fedex Ground (3-5 business days). A live person answered the phone after 2-3 rings. Ordering directly from HTC is cheaper than htcpedia.com

Here is the direct line for the Nexus One support line:
1-888-216-4736
That should save you a few minutes. Also was able to get a free sleeve and battery cover. They are shipping out tomorrow apparently. My guess is the folks that said it cost money may have called and gotten thier freebie already.

I can tell you the construction of the dummy phone for the N1 isn't at all like the actual phone - no useful parts at all.
Sorry to bump an old thread but I am also looking for this part. Everyone seems to sell every part except this one everywhere I look. I found a possible match here globaldirectparts.com/Google-Nexus-One-Replacement-Repair-Parts-s/6177.htm but it's a minimun order of 2 and there is no picture so I'm not even sure if iits the right part. You guys know of anywhere to get this part without ordering a whole housing set?
Thanks!

You can get them from eBay, although they are from Hong Kong and will likely take some time to arrive. The site you mentioned has the same part under Front housing. Basically the front housing is the metal part of the Nexus one. All other parts slide out and are placed inside the metal housing, it's not the easiest or quickest of tasks (Especially if you've never had your Nexus one open) but if you take it slow and careful you shouldn't run into any problems.
Oh and I didn't mean to hit thanks

You're more than welcome!
Yeah, I have been searching ebay for a few days now and all I can find are the full housing sets (battery cover + Bottom cover + Chassis + Front/Side) or battery door and bottom cover. I bought the phone second hand and everything is in good shape except the front housing. I thought I would just live with it but now I just find all all the chips really annoying.
And I thought the site I linked was probably the right part but ordering two is pointless unless I sell the other on ebay I guess.
Not worried about taking the phone apart, looked at the fixia page and it looks pretty straightforward.
Ebay most definitely

My battery cover is lose at the top right corner near the volume buttons and the other side feels nice and snug. It's bothering me when I hold the phone I can squeeze it and its moving a little and also makes a little creaking noise. Is anyone else cover like this?
If everyones is nice and snug should I call tmobile or lg and request a replacement door? I ordered my phone on the 19th. Thanks in advance for the replies.
Mine is tight all the way around. Was yours always like that? I would exchange only the battery cover if you aren't experiencing any other problems.
I don't remember it always been like this but has been getting worse these past couple days. I think its warping I can see a gap.
I ordered my phone through the retentions dept do you think I can swap the door out in the retail stores? Or will T-Mobile ship me a new door? I'm not sure how this would work out.
Well, just call and ask, I'd say. I don't think T-Mobile stocks replacement parts so you might need to order a new phone and just swap the battery door out when it comes. Keep in mind that in the past, any phones that I have ordered replacements for did NOT come with a battery door! Not sure if the G2x is the same in that regard, but make sure you mention that.
Mine was loose around the bottom of the "with google" strip and was creaking every time I applied pressure right there. My solution: a piece of kleenex slightly larger then the battery. Just put it on top of the battery and it takes care of the extra space in there that causes the creaking without any damage to the phone
I'm thinking about ordering a couple for spares.....anyone interested in going in on it for one at cost let me know. The place above is the only place I've seen them. And I've been looking pretty hard.
Edit...Oops, I didn't see that link in this post. It was in another post about the back door. I'll find the link and post it here.
http://www.globaldirectparts.com/LG-Star-P990-Optimus-2X-Battery-Door-p/lg970940.htm
I like the idea of having a spare because
A) they seem extra flimsy and I am a spare battery sort of guy. Afraid I'm gonna eventually break it replacing batteries three times a day.
B) I want to get some skinit covers and leave them on permanently without ruining a cover in case I need to do a return.
I've signed up for email notification for when the backorder comes in.If anyone wants to combine an order w/ me to get the minimum of five, PM me. Like I say, I need two.
Edit: To clarify. I'm gonna order some of these one way or another. I can absorb 50 or 60 bucks to order some. If you want one speak now. When I get the email saying they're in from backorder. I'll order 5 or 6. When I get them I'll let you know. You paypal me whatever it cost in advance, I'll stick it in an envelope with a 44 cent stamp and mail it to you. I don't want any monies in advance now. If you don't come through, I'm confident I'll sell yours to someone here. But short of seeing cash up front, I'm not ordering more than 5 or six, maybe 7. I have no idea when or if this company will get these or not. But there is a minimum order of 5. I'm not doing anyone any big favors here....you pay what it costs includ/ the stamp. If you want to see my ebay feedback before you send me the ten bucks I'll tell you my user name (then). I simply want a couple of spare covers for my phone.
I'd like to have an extra battery door.
i want to buy one..waitin for it to be stock
Finally went to a T-Mobile store to show them my lose battery door cover. Associate pulled out his personal G2x and said wow mine is on there tight that would piss me off too. He said he would swap out a cover from a returned phone. He went to see if there was any returned phones but I knew there would be a lot from all the problems everyone is experiencing. Now I got a tight fitting cover!
i would just go to tmo store, ask if they have any returned g2x in the back, and if they can just swap a battery door for you. if they give you a hard time, just say hey, you are sending it back anyways and obviously the door is not cosmetically damaged (assuming your door looks like new) and it should not warrant me exchanging the phone for a whole new kit and waste tmos money.
edit, sorry i didnt see the post above mine lol.

I did the same thing. My wife dropped hers while jogging and the tmo Rep handed me a new one. Building relationships and not being a **** goes a long way in retail. She cracked the lens cover. Love tmo.
I recently had a problem where the soft finish of my backplate was peeling, i spoke to and LG rep via IM. and she was more then happy to send me a replacement free of charge, very much pleased and impressed.
I also spoke to a rep via IM and he is sending me a free one time replacement.
Do we have any options for screen protectors on this tablet? I'd prefer to use the tablet "naked" with only a film over the screen to help deter scratches. (I really don't care if the back gets scratched..)
Thanks

SKinomi makes one for the GT7+ and the quality is good but I'm warning you of their customer service. They have the worst customer service. You better hope you won't have to deal with them. They got 3 strikes from me just on one order.
1st: they forgot to process the order, I had to send them a followup email
2nd they again, forgot to send the item after 10 days from processing. I had to send them another followup email.
3rd: the item arrived, they forgot to include a squeegee! No big deal if this is just the case but they already f#$%ed me 2x.
Plus they only respond if you answer them basic questions but if they had to deal with these issues, they keep silent and doesn't even apologize for their mistake. This is just my experience though.. I hope this doesn't happen to you.
UPDATE: Just got a word from their manager. They are in the process of looking for a company that will provide a squeegee for them (no biggie). And he apologized for everything that had happened.. That's all I needed. .. and a full refund. All is well!
Something I stumbled upon a while back. I've not bought it as I hear "Santa" is bringing it to me.
Looks pretty good from here.

Is it a glossy style or a more matte style? Would you say fingerprints are more or less of a problem with this screen protector? Would you describe the film as stiff or more "stretchy"? Does the protector create an "orange peel" effect?
Thanks

The Skinomis I've used in the past on other devices (wet apply) are iffy. Some were rather "rubbery" (DroidX) and kind of shiny (TF101). The larger the more pliable. I replaced both. Not a real fan of "wet-apply" myself. Others swear by them. Both attracted fingerprints and other goobers but wiped off easily.

This is the clear style not matte. Im curious on how a matte protector wouldfeel or look like but this clear skin is better in reducing fingrprnts than having nothing. My hands sweat a lot and this really helps. The feel is similar to Bodyguardz if you had experienced it. Total opposite ofnthe zagg protector that ive used on a gt10.1. My fingers has a friction squeaking feel on a zagg but this one is smooth.
This film is "stretchy".. wet apply..have like 2 dozen bubbles on it right now because i had to attend to my crying 2 yr old while applying this thing. By the time i came back, the it was too late to redo. But im confident these bubbles will all go away in a couple of days. Will update when the time comes. Some of them are already gone after 24 hours.
Anyway, if youre a fan of bodyguardz then this would be perfect as well. "Skinomi25" coupon cvode on their website saves 25%
just to let every one know i ordered 2 kits from skinoni on Nov. 17 and the items did not ship till Nov. 30 and i have not received anything from them yet (Dec. 9). not very impressive shipping or customer service.

And i thought it was just me who had a horrible experience. Its a shame that skinomi builds high quality products but their customer svc is very incompetent and they have inefficient system.

I think it's more matte style, but I may be comparing it to phone protectors which I've used outside. No fingerprints on mine - I'm hella dark and ashy, and I have to use hand lotion all the time so chicks dig me. Fingerprints are a huge concern for me, so I am pleased with that aspect of the skin.
I don't notice any orange effect. I'm not sure if it's stretchy, but if you are talking about what I think you're talking about, then it is more stretchy than stiff(I'm guessing you mean kind of like camera film when describing it as stiff. I've had cheap protectors like that.)
Skip the atFolix stuff, I just got it and applied it. Frankly I'm happy they shipped two, as the product was god awful to apply and the first one I applied had a a couple scratches going down it.... so effectively it was burned...
Here's the Amazon feedback I just left and I'll elaborate more
----
Product not cut to size, with 1-3 mm from the edges of the tablet, gives it a cheap screen feel. The screen is only a single back applicator, meaning you only pull one side to apply. As a lot of other other screens use two backings, one to protect the adhesive and the other to protect the screen itself, you can expect some scratching on the screen itself due to the fact that the screens are shipped side by side and therefore rub and scratch during transit. Micro-scratches are very evident. Not happy with the quality and the somewhat self inflicted damage of the screens.
Finally shipper does not have tracking numbers available.
----
As for the cutting of the plastic, I've personally gotten better cut screens for my phones for less, then the cut of this plastic...
I wouldn't recommend this and given in couple months I'll most likely swap this screen out...

Great, just bought this one a few days ago. Bought one of the HandHeldItems cases too that was labeled as being for the 7+ but was for the original. Having zero luck with accessories for this tablet.......
Ya.... but worse comes to worse, atleast we took one for the team no?
That said I left feedback on the Amazon page, and we'll see if the seller responds no?

I'm getting the impression there are no good choices for this device. Perhaps I'll just get one of the generic "you cut it" protectors and cut it down to size myself.

Zagg has one available at best buy for the tab+ $24.
I miss when i got the original galaxy tab and there were pretty much a wide availability of aftermarket accessories for it. Not so much w/ the Plus. I'm still looking for a clear (non matte/anti-glare) and non-gummy screen protector.
I just got the skinomi finally last night and pulled it off after a minute of application. Just like the Zagg/invisibleshield product it has this grippy/gummy texture i don't like on my touchscreens. That's fine on the body if i don't want to use a case, but really not my preference on the screen.
What i want is a smooth, close to frictionless as possible on the touchscreen that affects the clarity as little as possible. In the past I like the Boxwave Crystals but they don't have any for our device, so I placed a request.
Anyone ever deal with this company? They list a screen protector specifically for our devices.
Looks promising. But then the Titanic looked promising..........
I don't know if its been mentioned, but Skinomi has products for the +.

Oh believe me they have it. Their customer service is just plain incompetent and lazy. I got it after a couple of followups.. Oh and when USPS displays on their tracking website "Electronic Shipping Info Received" which indicates Skinomi already printed a shipping label for your item, don't settle and don't wait because for sure they will forget to send it in! Bang their heads until the tracking info starts moving. Then demand for a manager and get a refund for the trouble they've caused you. You then get the item for free. That serves them right because that item is their payment for the aggravation they've cause you. Just send them an email, be irate because I know you already are.

i sent numerous emails. i finally received the stuff from them it only took 34 days. i asked how to get a refund and was told they only offer a refund up till 30 days from order date. after many more emails they finally agreed that if i ship the stuff back they will refund my money. i will be doing my best to warn people of the terrible customer service at this site. not to mention the product comes all rolled up in a stupid tube in a huge package. wouldn't flat shipping the body kit make more sense than rolling it up tight?
I have a 1/8" hairline scratch in the lower left quadrant. I'm going into a Verizon store on the 11th to exchange it. Some quality control Samsung has.
I know that it sucks for you but you have to think that even if 10,000 phones have a scratch that is a very small percentage compared to what is made. Nothing is perfect. Good luck with your exchange, hopefully the next one is okay
Good luck.. They will probably say you scratched it after taking it out of the box, and that it's not a warranty issue. The fact is these phones will show some age as they get used, what you're describing doesn't sound like a big deal.

I've already called my local store and customer service and both assured me that there'd be no issues within 14 days, but thanks for your opinion!
Should be ok if it isn't obvious damage was caused after removal. It will be considered a DOA device (defective on arrival).
If you go to a store they will push back since you ordered it online but they CAN do it. I worked for VZW up until Jan 2015 and would get customers calling in all the time saying the store told them they couldn't. They can, and it is easier since you don't have any out of pocket expense. If you call in, they have to bill you for the new phone and you get a refund when they receive the DOA device. Make the store do it! Also, since DOA no restocking fee.
Got a new phone today!

I just picked up a new edge to day and mine is scratched on both lower back corners. I was cleaning it up to install my scratch guard for the back and noticed them. Looks like I'm off to Verizon tomorrow for a phone and Zagg replacement. The real bummer is they did such a nice job installing the screen protector. Definitely inspect your phone before you leave the store if you have the option to do so.

Yup, this is what they told me. The store was even nice and noted my account that the device is scratched so I can't return it But on a good note I contacted customer service they are sending me a new Zagg screen protector and credited my account $50.00. It still ticks me off that the store basically called me a liar and said phones don't scratch them selves. I suppose it could have been scratched when they installed the screen protector but either way I didn't do it. From now on I'm inspecting my phone before I leave the store or just deal with them online because they always take care of me when I deal with them on the phone.
