I know that it's not the best solution, but if you buy a Mugen 2600 mAh battery, it comes with it's own cover (due to the extra thickness)...
Best Regards

yea i have just ordered one from here http://www.mugen-power-batteries.com/toshiba/toshiba-tg01.html it has been shipped today i have heard very good feedback from this particular battrey.I hope that it lives up to its expectations and the hype one user said he got 4 days out of it with heavy use i find this hard to believe but we will see.If anyone has expiriences with this battrey over longterm use please tell us your story and rate the 2600mah battrey thanks.

I have the same problem, I already wrote directly to Toshiba, and wrote off that I can not help it, never want toshiba, what is too mobile to which the cap can not be bought anywhere

I just spoke to the Toshiba UK customer care team and they said they would send me one free of charge. My original is pretty clean but has a tiny hairline crack in one corner. Toshiba UK are absolutely fantastic and very helpful

I had the same problem for months, I found dead TG01 on allegro, talked with seller and bought it for 40 zł.
I think you can talk with someone here to order one (or two) and send it to you, it can be sent in a normal letter so you won't pay much for it.
If you find someone who is willing to help (and would be able to get two covers), please notify me (through PM) I would also be interested in getting one so we can split shipping costs (50:50).

Well my brand new back cover turned up today free of charge and as a bonus a brand new 8GB micro SD card was included free of charge, as I mentioned that my original Toshiba card was very slow to load files onto. Toshiba UK are absolute stars in my opinion

Lack of accessories!

When I first saw the nexus 4 I was excited for the accessory possibilities. Since it is built in a similar manner as the Iphone 4/4s with glass on both sides and it was selling out everywhere I was sure the accessory manufacturers would jump on it. All I wanted since I first saw it for the iphone 4 was this bumper...

They even had one for last years arguably less popular gnex.. why aren't we seeing very many accessories for our phones?

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,
Nexus 4 tandem

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.

The official bumper is in stock on the Play Store. We don't have the charging orb yet though.
There is no shortage of third party accessories on Amazon, eBay and other sites.

I haven't found one anywhere and doubt we'll see one for a while... I'm thinking about designing my own, buying a block of aluminum and taking it to the nearest maker club and milling it myself. If I do I will definitely post it here.

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.

[Q] What phone has the same size of screen as Galaxy S Relay 4G?

Hi!
I have finally received my Galaxy S Relay 4G ordered from eBay to my country (where I couldn't buy this phone - it's only in US) and I would like to buy a screen protector for it. Sadly, screen protectors for this phone are also not available. I don't want to buy a bigger screen protector and cut it myself, but I think some other models should have the same size of screen as Relay. Maybe you know something? I will check other Samsung phones with 4" at the weekend of course, but maybe some of you have already done such a research :highfive:
Greetings,
linoskoczek

There are dozens of screen protectors that are made specially for Relay:

You could buy them on Ebay bundled with you phone.
You are a bad web-searcher.

I think you misunderstood me. I'm not living in US. I don't want to pay XX$ for a screen protector. Maybe it's cheap, but I also need to pay for delivery from United States and furthermore, it takes over than 2 weeks to arrive.

I'm also not living in the USA (do you know such country as Belarus?) but I have more than 10 of such protectors. They are not so expensive as you think: I bought mine for 2 or 3 bucks, I didn't remember.
And the shipping was free.
Also these protectors are available on german Ebay (if this region is closer to you) where shipping time is less

True! I didn't know that shipping on German eBay would be even free! I found 6-pack for 2 euro, so it's cheap. Would you recommend any kind (or brand) for me? Here you can find the list of them: http://www.ebay.de/sch/Displayschut...|R40&_nkw=galaxy+s+relay&LH_PrefLoc=2&_sop=15

Anyone tried and buy F8332 model from ebay? Their price seems a bit cheaper than amazon. The seller also includes free shipping.
I did a search on "sony xz f8332".

I bought the Xperia Z2 from eBay. It was 10K less then on Amazon (INR).
So basically, these devices are international variants, brought from international markets such as China & sold in your country, the phone is absolutely fine but you might get the charger of some different country. Also, you might not get manufacturer warranty but sellers warranty, which means if anything goes wrong, you cannot take your device to Sony & raise a claim, you'll have to return it to the eBay seller & he'll hook you up with a replacement.
The best part was
When i bought the Z2, I received model version D6503 which hat LTE/4G whereas the Z2 available in India was with the model version D6502, which did not support LTE/4G.,

I got my phone from here and got it within two days.

Yeah. It's a bit narrow and due to the curved glass it lifts on the edges no matter how much I press down on it.
Another member posted in another thread of a 3D glass screen protector. I might wanna give that a shot. But I might also just wait till the SCTF10 case is available on eBay.

I've been looking at that seller as it's much cheaper than buying in Australia ($999 AUD for Forest Blue).
My main concern is the warranty and stuff, which seems non-existant on (international) phones for Sony.
Can you tell me a bit more about how the item was packaged / gifts received / safe to buy?

I'm from Melbourne and I bought mine from an eBay seller called "buybuybox" for 807 AUD delivered. It only took 3 business days from order to arrival on my desk. No complaints so far.

Wow! Nice shop! Thanks for share!
the extended warranty is how it works?

No idea, I assumed there was no warranty. I didn't really read the ad though lol.

Lol i read the warranty is for 12 month and can be increased to 24 month with optional overpriced
However I think 12 month is the most convenient given that in general offers them the producer.

For what it's worth, I just bought an XZ from the seller tropical_mobile on eBay on Tuesday, and it showed up today from Singapore.
Compared with the US retail version, the only differences I noticed were that the box was sealed, included some cheap earbuds, a screen protector that doesn't give full coverage, and the power adapter is gigantic.
As for customs, there wasn't a declaration form anywhere on my package.

Yes. It was part of the built-in setup process. Though in fairness, I had also flashed the generic UK ROM on a US phone, and the reader worked just fine there, too.
Anyway, when the phone first booted, there were some messages in what I presume to be Mandarin. I have no idea what they said, and I don't remember the US version doing that out of the box. Once you tap through them, you get the option to change the language, and it was pretty much smooth sailing from there.

Anyone from the UK bought the dual XZ from the Uk comment on decent sellers?

Charging Case for Samsung Galaxy Note 7 for $5.00

I went to Amazon after reading a few threads about no plans on the Note 7 being blacklisted for now. I figured maybe some of the price for the case chargers will be lower since people are jumping ship. I found this :
https://www.amazon.com/Battery-Rechargeable-Extended-Charging-External/dp/B01L02HWWA
I thought it was a mistake since the cheapest was $29. Samsungs is the most expensive ironically. Thats the only 1 that charges wireless, hole for S-Pen and water proof with less juice though. I figured $5 what do I have to lose. Here's a screenshot in case its a mistake and they change the price
View attachment 3912540
I actually found another company that had them for $10, but in white (looks pearlish to me) for $5. I grabbed another to use like a spare battery. (used link below since image couldn't be inserted within edit feature)
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LZ3MDOS/

Good find, I just picked one up. Can't go wrong for $5.

Noo! They dont ship to Canada!!!

"This is not a perfect product . Carefully to place an order"
This is actually in the description of the product you have referenced here. Interesting tidbit of info to be included in the actual description.
Had you guys not made the purchases and are apparently happy with the product, this note would make me extremely leery of buying it.
But, maybe I will give one a try.
Nice post guys. Thank you
