Here's a quick review of the ray-out `Silky Touch Silicon Jacket' for the HTC Desire HD.
Nobody has replied to this post obviously. If it is because my amateur review is not very good, please let me know, with pointers and I will try to do better.
Or maybe this case just isn't very cool.
Either way I'll be giving it away at the end of the month. (The only one I'm keeping is the TPU case which I prefer so far).
I intend to give one item away every month. My Desire HD page phone picture isn't very good. If anyone wants to make me a better picture that compliments the DHD and the rest of the page, then I'll use it and send them the case in this thread in exchange.
It's just a thought. My website is just a hobby and my skills are limited, especially design. So if others have advice or skills they would like to lend - I'll send them a DHD accessory, like a case or something. (As the site says, it's all just hobby stuff.)
I'll be giving this case away at the end of the month. (Only used for the review)
If anyone wants it - send me a PM. First come, first served. Sorry, it must be someone who hasn't already received one of the others from the other reviews.
hey i want it do you have one for me?
Yeah it's yours, seeing as you PM'd me first.
Please PM me your address and I'll send it out at the end of the month.
PM sent thanks
Are there any more?
There aren't any more no. If I do get any more I'll always update that thread.
(Plus you say you're 14 in your Sig. So you are too young to give out your address and therefore shouldn't )
I quite liked the review and the website tbh. Lots of pictures give the reader a good impression of the product.

Thanks John. It's just a hobby for me. It's nice to get a positive comment.

Thanks for the interest guys
Why not just post it on e-bay if you're going to be "Open to any reasonable offers"? Sounds like bidding to me.

Apologies mate if it comes across that way- I just had no idea what its worth thats all.
I will re-emphasise that its a practically new dock and comes with all original components and packaging.
Please PM me if interested.
PM sent
Just confirming the dock is still available at the moment.
I'm awaiting PM replies.

Hey mate, thanks for the PM. Let me know how we will do the exchange
Sold. Thanks for the interest.
That's a douche move. If I were to be one of those people I'd be livid. Just because people want it at your price doesn't mean raise the price. I hope nobody purchases it based on principle, and it just collects dust.
I hate to be "that" guy, but I am always selling things, and at great prices. When I have tons of people hitting me up, whoever gets me the moneys first gets it. I don't start a dang bid battle. That's lame. To each their own though I suppose.

Thanks mate for your opinion
Bear in mind that I'm not making a profit here...just trying to recoup my losses.
To completely ignore market forces as you suggest, in my opinion is highly naieve. If you wish to take the moral high ground in theory and criticise others for being realistic then kuodos to you. If you have further unconstructive opinionated comments to make to me, then I'd encourage you to do so via PM.
cheers
Trust me. I ended up losing lol. I'd rather get something than nothing though. Just hate it when I want a hot item, and the seller decides to up the price since a lot of interest has gathered. Picture yourself in the other persons shoes.
Sorry if I came off harsh, that's just one of my peeves. Good luck with the sale

Just to prevent any further dispute... I initially offered him higher than what he wanted because I believe the price I'm offering is fair. I could either buy it from states and have it shipped, or buy it from my Ausi mate. I don't really know anyone in US, plus I would have to have someone use an american CC to purchase the item because Canada is an international country to the US although we are practically sisters. No need to be frustrated. I also hate it when the seller increases the price due to greed but I'm sure this is not the case.
Sold.
Thanks for the interest guys
Did anyone else get this message. I'm apprehensive to replying as I feel it may be a scam....
It was in my PM box......

seems too shady. i wouldnt give my address out like that
report it to a moderator and they'll do the appropriate actions to the user
It is a legit company and all. I bought my keyboard cover for the macbook from them on ebay and they have some video reviews of it on youtube. A lot of user reviews (who got it for free), so I'm not surprised that they are giving it away to get a review in return.
Ask him for a phone number or refer him to the user who recently made a video of the Casemate Pop case in the accessory section.

I know its a legit company, I was just concerned because they had 0 feedback from the forum and it I have never purchased anything from them as well as it being a PM here and not something more professional like an e-mail. Oh well. I'd like to get a free case, I may do it.

How do you expect them to email you when you don't allow it via your profile?
Even with 0 feedback, they have to start somewhere. If you don't want to give them your address, then try to get a temporary PO Box, business address, or something similar. It can't really be a scam if you're only going to give them your name and address (well, none that I have heard of yet using just those two information).

That seems way too much work just to get a free case.
And you seem pretty open to a stranger asking for your name and address. Sorry but this is the internet, gotta be cautious.
If you really need a case, I'd recommend the Case-Mate Pop case. There's a coupon in the Pop thread that reduces it to $27
I think there's a marketplace they can post in instead off spamming forum members.

How'd you get that idea? If you work somewhere you could use that address. Oh and I know it's the internet, what do you think I'm using right now? Also, what's too much work? Registering on a forum? Copy/pasting the letter and edit the name? Is it so rare for a company to have a rep register on a forum?
Anyways, I agree that it seems shady and all, but a quick Google search led me to this xda member receiving the product. Of course, he's the only one so far that I can find via quick search.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914272
And then Rearth's official blog posted that review along with other user reviews plus the link to the review (most to AndroidForums):

You could just give them a call and ask for Blake.

It's the OP's choice anyways, you can send him my way if you don't want to do it. I'm kind of interested on how good this case is after looking at some reviews of the Evo version.

If i worked for a company, I wouldn't be suspicious by mass emailing users of a forum telling them to send me their addresses. It's just not very trustworthy.
It's the internet, people can pose as other people. Again, this is just for a free case, you shouldn't have to go through a WHOLE hassle process just to verify something. They could just went to the market place or the general forum and make a general post in regards for people to test out their product.
Approaching users of a forum via Private Message is not a good practice. It's suspicious. Especially when they never made any posts or contributed to XDA. They have no recognition around this community.
I could easily make a spoof account and say im a representative from Case-Mate and that I want you to test a upcoming case that we haven't announced. I want you to test our Case-Mate Barely There case before we announce it.
Would you easily just give someone your address? It could be a friend of yours who simply hates you and wants your address. It's not a smart idea to be so free to give your address away.
Ordering something online? Yeah. If they're a massive corporation and its something I can trust, I have no fear of giving my address away. To a stranger? not happening.

I understand why it seems shady, didn't I say that in my previous post? *Looks back* Why yes I did. So no need to waste your time to explain it. Geez.
Anyways, I provided information for the OP to go by. So that's that. It's his choice to make anyways. If you consider a quick 2 minute search such a hassle, then okay whatever, that's just you.
In reply to the suspiciousness regarding the method of contact. I apologize if it made anyone feel uncomfortable. Additionally, I didn't mass spam anyone. I sought through the entire forum and selected around 10 individuals who I felt would contribute a worthy review to the community. I could post my own review of the product but that doesn't carry as much credit does it?
Again, I apologize for this chosen method of contact. However, you won't have to worry about that method anymore in the future. We are setting up our official review request option on our new Website, and we will allow users (such as yourselves) to come and request to review one of our products if you like. But of course, we will only select a number of reviewers per week and will include only those individuals we feel will truly post a worth while review for others to view.
And I assure you all that I will be contributing much more to this community from here on out.
Well, we will see if its a scam, If he wanted my address he can easily look that up on the web. (note sarcasm)
doesn't sound like a scam, just a company trying to get xda publicity for their product by sending out a few free ones. op has over 2k messages to his name, so has some reputation here. you should actually be kinda honoured. if in doubt, set up a new email address and contact them asking for a phone #.
it's called marketing and all that jazz

Yes I'm pretty excited. New phone and a free case, sounds good to me. I'll also do a case mate pop case and incipio feather review.
This is for a VIDEO review of the new Tranformer Prime Tablet
You will need a HD camera, clear voice, and of course a Transformer Prime tablet
I would like to post a review of the tablet on my website but haven't got the funds to buy one myself.
I will pay you $50 (via paypal) for an in-depth review (15-20 mins)
Im looking for someone who has previous experience in doing reviews like this but if you have no experience but feel you are up to the task you can easily watch a few video reviews on youtube to see how they are done.
Hope im posting this in the right forum, hope to hear back from some of you

Dude, if you're trying to throw $50 around for a review, seems like you should just order one. (You can obviously return it if it disappoints.)

Hi There,
I'd like to share my experience buying an iMito QX1 from Geekbuying.com - not for the sake of flaming, but really to help fellow community members avoid lost money and unnecessary heartache.
I purchased the item in June - and have yet to see a refund for a defective product.
It took forever to arrive - and upon arrival was basically DOA. It worked very briefly, in which time I couldn't find sufficient information online to try and flash the new firmware to get it to work properly (the Geekbuying forum information is very minimal, to say the least, and the response rate is very slow), and upon pulling out to try and refresh and reconnect, it stopped working entirely. I connected it to numerous tvs and devices, to no avail - signal has been lost.
This is a known issue that many people have posted about - and Geekbuying.com have completely ignored. See these threads:
http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.php?2539-imito-mx1-no-signal-to-tv
http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.php?4053-Imito-MX2-black-screen
http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.php?3447-Imito-MX1-doesn-t-work-gt-Black-Screen-No-signal
After reaching out to Geekbuying and explaining everything - and everything we tried technically - they initially were willing (supposedly) to provide a refund or alternate device (we asked for a refund), and asked us to fill out forms that they never provided us with, and since then have been stalling, evading, and unhelpful.
Below is the chat I had with their operator today, where they once again have evaded and chosen to be unhelpful:

Good luck.
Thank you for posting this. I hope your post will help others to be aware too. But I have to tell you for every post you find like this and believe me there are many. You will also find many post on other forums that will defend this company and have complete lack of empathy.If you read those threads you will find as I have. They are generally from people who have a certain (ahem, cough) relationship with them. It sickens me to say the least. BTW, its not just the device you purchased either. I try to let people know that a lot of these divides can all so be purchased through Amazon. I am not promoting Amazon. I am just saying if something does go wrong. You have a much better chance of a fair outcome. Sorry to here of your episode. You were more than fair with them. I will not be surprised if there is a reply in their defense. Then again, maybe not here. But, try a certain f****tab forum and you will see what I mean. Good luck.

Thanks for the support - I'm sure you're right - I just hope that the sincerity comes through and that if someone who is looking to purchase an item from them and sees this post at some point, may possibly reconsider.
I never do things like this and if it were a small amount I'd likely just forget about it, but it's a $90 product.

Amazing such issue's were had.
I also bought my QX1 from Geekbuying however I ordered via Amazon (bundle pack with external antenna & Cat 5 USB adaptor)..
My order was received 4 days later (via USPS).
The unit works great & still no issue's on my end with my unit.
Also bought an airmouse from them (via Amazon again) & received that the day before last (2 days after order)..
Long of the short of all of this is I wouldn't put such hate towards one posting that's seen..
As I've had no issue's on my end once so ever..
Just stating my $0.03....
Shame about the issue's though as the QX1 really is I nice little device (however deva support is still very limited)..
My experience with imito qx1 is also positive. Bought it on geekbuying.com and was aware that shipping last LONG. Got it and it works like a charm. Had same issues in the beginning but flashed it with Finless 1.5 ROM form freaktab.com and it works great. That was a good decision.
I was able to RMA my CX-919 to geekbuying for just return shipping $8.
They asked for a youtube video of it not working!
Took two months but the new device works great.
Mod Edit: Please do not spam xda for commercial purposes. Thanks!
I'm down to test and review this one as well.
PM'd.
Same here....plz let me know....howver don't use Facebook but been around some years here...howver if this doesn't qualify me than no worries...wish u the best!
