I returned my Gtablet to Sears, since a few days close to the return window and am still needing to see if VS fixes the accelerometer and the bluetooth issues for input devices. Purchased another tonight from Office Depot that they price matched ($380) and has a return window of January 8th.
My first Gtablet was confirmed by VS's CS to be one of the first batch of 1,000. There are some differences with the second one I have now, though most are petty issues: Box was factory sealed.
1. Green cloth instead of gray (mega petty)
2. No second peel-off screen layer protection (petty)
3. Perfect display appearance out of box with ZERO bubbles or blemishes. This thing (not turned on of course) looks iPad level clean. Wish was the same turned on
4. Device seems more stable ADDED: compared to first one, when still stock (though pointless, since going to TnT 2.0 anyways).
Will update in regards to other comparative issues later.
Did they charge you a 15% restocking fee?
How long is Sears's $380 price going till? I thought about buying one from Staples, and just trying it out myself for a few weeks (their return policy I believe is quite lax, no restocking fee, and is after the new year like Office Depot), but opted not to because I'm not sure I'd keep it. Maybe I'll have to just give it a whirl one of these days.. maybe I'll like it more than I thought.
No restocking fee charged, since accelerometer not working and Flash not working (in contrast to features on box).
I think Saturday was the last day for $380.
I didn't have any screen protector on my Staples version at all.
Any way i could identify the gtab from a new batch ? i am about to buy one and would like to buy one from the new batch
The first 1,000 had an easy peel-off protector (for shipping) and a normal screen protector. That is only differentiation suggested from customer service.

I got mine from Staples and it did not come with a peel-off protector. It also came with a green screen cleaning rag.

My first one(one of the first 1000 and received 11/2) did not have the screen protector. I'm pretty sure if you don't have the peel off application 2nd layer, you don't have a screen protector at all. You can check with a piece of tape.
My second one exchanged much later did have the screen protector.
So i'm not sure that these are things to go by.
I may call and complain a bit and see if they can get me a protector.
On an unrelated note, any word on a new update ETA?
CS stated 12/19 is the next one, but if the Advent Vega update Roebeet is working on pans out, folks here may not want the update.
Correct. No screen protector. CS should send us one.

Did people that get the screen protector get the green cloth? I don't think so, so you get one or the other.
Can't you just call stables and ask for price protection? That sears had the item for $380 when you bought yours or within the 30 days? I would call.
I got lucky, the store tag in sears was $399, but rang up as $379, they questioned it, but gave it to me for the $379 price.

Staples price matches up to 14 days from purchase. I had no problem getting the price adjustment, just showed the manager Sears website on an instore computer and he authorized it.

Got mine on black Friday and it was the same. Shelf said 399 and it rang up 379. Green cloth, no screen protector.

I just put my order in!

Are these the static cling type of screen protectors?
Nope, they are the peal and stick type. The plastic is a bit thicker so they are not as flimsy and are easy to apply. Best I have ever used. The one I put on my g1 is still on there.

Wow... I bought my Phantom Skinz, which is a 2 pack for $5.97 shipped with their discount. In fairness though, I have used and really like the Seidio protector. You can wait, as they often have discount codes and free shipping... the product is worth the money though... it will last quite a while and has a great feel.
i got a quote of $9.23 USD i recall for shipping to canada so cost of the protector and shipping and US to CAD = close to $20.00
I can garantie if i ordered and recieved the item the postage paid on the package/envelope would be no more than $2.50

I ordered one over the weekend for 13.85 shipped. I'll be sure to review it once it comes in. Also, I can't stand wet-application screen protectors, so I'll see how this fares.
I can't take worrying about scratching my screen anymore so I finally took the plunge. I ordered the 2 pack for a whopping $20.67 shipped. I'll let everyone know how good they really are once I apply one to my screen.
umm, not to be mean. any reason why you need a screen protector when the screen itself on the nexus one is scratch resistance?
you just answered your question. It is scratch resistant not proof

Anyone know a code for seidio?
My order shipped today!
Your order has shipped. (Order#: XXXXXX placed on 1/16/2010)
i just got my 2 pack in the mail today and failed to apply both of them and got dust/lint stuck on the adhesive side. talked to seidos online customer service and they're sending me another 2 pack as a one time courtesy! hopefully i dont mess thsoe up.
The hardest part in installing the Seidio is getting every minute particle of dust off the screen first. I don't know about you guys, but this seems to me to be the biggest dust magnet of any phone I've ever had! I wipe it with microfiber, and within 2 seconds, there's more ultra fine dust on the screen.
Anyway, once you get it clean, hold the protector buy the little tab extension that they should have included on the backing strip... gently start peeling the backing paper off the opposing side and just expose one edge of the protector. Then start "rolling" it on as you slowly pull the backing paper off. Should come out perfect as long as it's cut properly.
By the way, how well IS this product cut? Is it short in width and/or height like the other screen protectors seem to be?
Zagg Invisible Shield Full Body for >$10 !!
Hey guys,
I just came across an AMAZING DEAL; I was able to order the full body zagg shield for $9.24 shipped (shipping was $2.99 for me, and no tax)! This originally costs $24.99 BEFORE tax and shipping.
Here's how:
Go to: zagg.com/theshack
In the "Employee ID #" field, enter in ANY 9 digit number
Fill all fields, use a valid email address.
Can't use the same email twice.
They will then email you a 75% off coupon that can be used on ANY zagg product on zagg.com!!
Shipping cost and tax might vary depending on where you live, but either way, it'll end up being MUCH cheaper than regular price.
dang i paid 15 just for the screen
Nice find.. but can anyone say if the screen fits properly or if it's short like a lot of the other protectors?
it does NOT cover 100% falls just short at the bottom
Sweet! Worked like a charm thanks for the heads up
Excellent... and it's for 75% off the ENTIRE order! Thinking about getting "gifts" for my cousin and her husband, who have a Hero and Instinct HD... Less than $15 for 3 screen protectors shipped.
i ordered a screen for my digital camera and my friends sprint hero
Just order 2 for Total: $15.49 Just shows how cheap this stuff really is.
Thanks!
The RadioShack retail page is "temporarily down" now... consider yourselves lucky if you got the discount code already.
Edit: I just tried using the code that I had received, and Zagg cancelled it. That sucks, as I never got the chance to use it, but oh well. Did anyone's orders get cancelled?
Tried to access the site but also getting error msg of it being temporarily down...
Btw, I think the title should read "<$10" ... Not ">$10"

Wow, normally I would have ragged on someone for making that kind of mistake . I guess my excuse can be that I haven't taken a math course since calc 1 my freshman year of undergrad
so many people abused this on slickdeals. I bet they cancel all our orders
Lmao they probably got thousands of orders......"The Customer is Always Right"
Less then $6 wholesale and sell it to us for more then 75% markup! I will never pay there retail price again.
Some of the people on slickdeals who ordered a ton of skins (like 10) are saying their order status is "on hold", but I only ordered 2 and my status is "Loading dock" which is described as "Your order is on the loading dock and will be shipped shortly."
mine say loading dock as well
(( i just bought mine on ebay for $20. Full body. Sad part was i bought it yesterday too. I should have checked the forums yesterday ><
How is this product? I saw some pictures for another phone and it looked kinda weird once applied due to the wrap around gaps.
Also what is the deal everyone is talking about on the screen protectors being short? How much too short?
The screen protector is probably about 1-1.5mm short... but it seems like every product is, aside from the Martin Fields screen protector (which doesn't provide as much protection).
My order has been shipped
full body for my nexus
and screen protection for a Hero for 10euro..
mine shipped 2. but its for my digital camera. i already have a zagg on my nexus
I just bought a tempered glass screen protector for $6. Looks pretty decent. use code 90OFF1 at check out http://www.xtremeguard.com/Motorola-Moto-X-2014-Screen-Protectors-p/motx2014xgrds.htm
I also saw this deal. I bought all 3 screen protectors for a little over $7 shipped. Even if they are not that good, it's still worth a shot. The tempered glass one is regularly $60. Crazy.
just ordered one as well, thanks!
Does anyone know if this tempered glass has gap on sides like the other tempered glass ones since the display is curved?

There is no indication in the description. of it being curved. I gave it a try and hopefully it's good.
90% off?
PRO LIFE TIP: If a company regularly discounts a product by 90% off the listed retail price (Google-search "xtremeguard 90%"), then the actual value of the product is 10% of the listed retail price.
It may be a fine $6 screen guard, and I'm actually going to buy one, so I'm not being critical of the product. But it is a $6 product--not a $60 product.

I got a full body protector from them with this sale. It came in yesterday. The protector for the back of the phone does not have a cut out for the dimple, so that makes it a no-go. I also got a screen protector since they were pretty much free. I haven't put it on yet, but I am hesitant just because I like the "swipability" of this virtual no edge phone.
Mine is still in the "Processing" stage . ordered on the 7th, so I'm pretty confused
I received my order yesterday. I didn't put anything on yet as my order was screwed up. I order 1 regular screen, 1 HD screen and 1 tempered. I received 2 regular, 1 HD and a tempered for the 2013 X
I emailed the company and am awaiting a response before I apply anything.

Yeah I just emailed this morning so I'm sure I will be receiving the same. I'm assuming they just told you to hang onto the 2013 one that they gave you as well? If so, I'm just going to include it with my Swappa listing for my 2013.

They actually made no mention of the other one. So I guess they don't want it back.
So I dropped my phone with the case on it and it hit the ground on a weird angle, because right above the spen holder in the corner it dented and cracked the glass. When I took the case off it was cracked from the bottom going towards the middle of the phone but closer to the edge.
So do I need to contact Otterbox, or sprint insurance? Or will nothing happen and I need to replace the back myself? I had sprint insurance since 2011 but never used it. So im not sure how it works, same with the Otterbox policy.
Sadly Otterbox does not cover the phone as well. I had the similar fate happen to my phone a few weeks ago. Sprint (asuron insurance) responds very fast at sending you a new (for me i got a brand new in oem box) phone. I got mine the next day as I made the claim before 10am CST. These phones are a bit much to replace on the insurance scale going at $200 for the deductible though it's better than paying full price for the thing.

Thanks. So do i send my old phone back once the new 1 comes in?
I guess its time to search for a better case. Sucks because I liked OB products.
No.... you pay the deductible and they fedex it out to you. They give you a package to send in the old phone within 10 days. Easy peasy
Yep as otamctech said, you submit the claim and they send the new phone with a return package. It's so that in-case your broken phone is possibly operational you can still use it till the new one arrives.
Hi All,
Has anyone had an issue with Whitestone Dome customer service responding to warranty inquiries?
I have been using a Whitestone Dome glass screen protector on my last 3 phones. I've been very happy with the product and the few times I've shattered the screen protector, they were quick to replace it, via their warranty replacement program. (pay $10, send pics of broken screen protector)
This time it's very different. On Aug 11th (over a month ago) I uploaded proof of my shattered screen protector, paid the $10 and haven't heard back... No shipping info or estimate on when they would ship. I have sent FIVE emails to customer support and haven't heard back.
Has anyone had any luck lately with them?
Any suggestions on the next steps?
Thanks!
Yeap, huge problems with these offshore fktards. Avoid them... feel the wuv
I'm in the exact same situation. I have paid for and received several replacements and all have shipped within a week of payment and approval. But something has definitely changed because I submitted my last one on Aug 5 and it took 30 days for them to approve it and I still have not received it yet. I've sent several messages but they are terrible when it comes to responding.
Hopefully they'll see these posts or someone will have a solution that has worked for them. Their protectors are great, but it gets to a point where you gotta ask is it really worth the hassle?
I'm going to start looking elsewhere for a replacement for future protection.
Me too, for problems with Whitestone. I ordered directly from them in November, had a problem with their install jig and cracked the screen. Emailed back and forth for two months and finally just put in the warranty request and paid the $9.99. Weeks later, no replies, no screen glass, just a notification that I received a refund for the warranty replacement.
I have emailed several times asking why the warranty replacement was cancelled after being approved and paid for, but still no response at all. Not at all happy....seemed like it would be worth the high price as the reviews were so good and the warranty SOUNDED good, but I will stick with the less expensive brands that I have used in the past.
I prefer USA companies that have an excellent warranty. I went with IMBZBK based on Amazon reviews and my go to brand Tech Armor doesn't have S22 Ultra screen protectors yet. They sent ne an email to ensure Ibinstalled the protector correctlyb which does najenitbseem likebthe company cares. So far I'm very impressed with the overall quality and accessories included. I went with a film type protector to ensure case compatibility.
