Seidio will sell back cover seperately

But don't know the price yet
"Hello xxxxxx, We do sell the battery cover separately. You can purchase that by calling customer service at 832-204-1118. We currently do not have a case compatible with the extended battery but will be developing one in the future. Please continue checking our website and we will email you with new releases for this phone model! Best-----Original M

Well I don't know what to believe, that's in direct contrast to the in response they gave me when I emailed them. They said they weren't making a case for the extended battery. So how do we know which one is correct?

When did u email them

They sent me out a replacement back cover, no questions asked (I had an "issue" with mine). Excelent customer service IMO.
I wouldn't expect the back cover to cost very much if they do sell it seperately.
I told the person I was chatting with to tell their R&D department to make a case so we can all buy it. I was told they will pass it on (but who knows).
Maybe they have had a large enough demand for it and have decided to make a case? Time will tell.

I contacted them on 12/26/2010 and they replied back on 12/27/2010. I don't know if they might have changed their minds since I emailed them, but I just hope they make a case for the extended battery.

I emailed them on the 10th replied on 11th

I called them and the guy I spoke to said he didn't have a SKU in the system for the back cover by itself, only the battery + cover.

[Q] Anyone who has the Sensation go to a T-Mobile Store for accessories?

I got my sensation on the 8th at Walmart and went to a different T-Mobile store this morning and the rep would not sell me the cases they had in stock. I figured that they can't sell the phone, but I imagined that the accessories had nothing to do with it. Is this common?

Sounds like they are just butt hurt because Walmart broke procedure and they can't. Means lost sales for the associates at Tmo.
I think they could sell them to you if they wanted to; don't see why they would have a reason not to unless corporate just told them to kill all sales of all sensation accessories in light of the Walmart issue.
i'm going to stop by Tmo this afternoon to see if they have some parts and will report back.

I went to a tmobile store yesterday and the told me they are not putting them out till the 15th. He asked if i planned on picking up the phone when they come out and i told him I already have one and he commented "Walmart?" lol

Yea, same experience; said they won't put them out till the 15h; oh well. Lost another sale, just get it online.

This happened to me when I got my G2x. I bought it online, and got the phone before the stores were allowed to sell them in-store. They wouldn't sell me a case no matter what argument I used. I even tried to bribe the guy at Tmo with a twenty dollar bill. I ended up getting a better case off ebay for 1/4th the prive.

My store "officially" won't sell them till the 15th either.

i got mine from ebay and came in about 2 days from ordering it.
seller is case_ology
cases are alright

Mine sold me a case and screen protectors in a heartbeat,asked did I have a Sensation and I said that I bought it at Walmart,gave me 20% off which was still not enough but cant take no chances with this baby.Body glove was 23 after discount and screen protectors were 11 and are nicer than I imagined

FWIW... the T-Mobile store in north Colorado Springs (Falcon Landing shopping center) sold me screen protectors earlier this morning - as long as it was in the system, they were good to sell the accessories.

I might go up there for ****s and giggles later to make the reps there upset.

Went to 2 different T-Mobile locations...the first had never even heard of the phone. The second just acted snippy, saying the phone doesn't even come out til the 15th...upon which I whipped mine out (that doesn't sound quite right...but hey) and they drooled a bit.

The tmobile store i went to sold me a rubber case. The manager was hella mad i had the phone tho. He was like where did u get it, i told him walmart and he was like there not aloud to sell phones early they're lucky i dont work there. I was like whatever dude thanks for the case lol.

[Q] Sensation Cases in Canada

This a weird request/question,
Does anyone know of a store that sells the HTC Sensation 4G cases (TPU or any other kind) in Canada?
I WOULD buy from ebay, but for the US citizens out there that don't know, there's a postal strike on, and I can't find anyone who ships via FedEX or UPS...
Any stores/locations would be great,
Or if one of you wants to sell one via eBay to me, with FedEX/UPS shipping, that would be awesome too.
I'm thinking if no one has any, I'll wait a few weeks until Bell starts selling, and just go into a Bell store and try there.

im in the same boat, canada post really ****ed me over on this one, and the TMO store i bought mine at didnt have any accessories available at the time...
hopefully some cell fone kiosks in malls will have some, just gotta look :/

I will post pics tomorrow night when I have access to a camera. Don't got 1 at the moment.
No product link, I bought it at one of the many phone stores at Pmall. It's the one in the "middle" aisles that is closer to Steeles.
It's near SIG Electronics, and it sells Mobilicity plans. It usually has a table outside their store selling some random long distance plans.

Well the back to work bill finally got pushed through so Canada Post should be back soon, then ebay choices should be available again.
also have a look here, a lot of info including official products.

[Q] Coming over from Sprint Epic 4G

Bottom line is I'll be joing the T-mo family, and I'm coming over because of cost.
I'm going to be picking up a Used/New Sidekick 4G off of craigslist. I'm looking at spending between 150-200. I need the Keyboard and the Touchslide is out of my cost range. I'm going on the family value plan for 99.89 for two lines. Any suggestions on this phone or anyother with a keyboard. What pitfalls could i get into with buying one off craigslist, can these phones be blacklisted like sprint(I.E. bad ESN), I know they take sim cards. Any other tips
Thx

With Tmobile, I'm pretty sure that popping in your sim card before you buy will tell you whether the esn is clean. I have always used keyboard phones, and for my taste, i'd say the other option besides the SK would be the G2... I think the SK4G has a better keyboard, but I prefer the G2 in just about every other way, the main one being the awesome development by XDA members and Cyanogen etc. that has and is being done for the device. That phone has been out for almost a year, but I am tempted to buy a new one and keep using that sucker. Lol. But I like the SK too, I think it's a great little phone, and the guys here have done some really good stuff with it.
Good luck with your switch!

I just bought my daughter a brand new SK4G for $149.00 at the local T-Mobile store at the Mall. It was an upgrade for an AT&T "pursuit" she had running on T-Mobile. Just a "heads up" for you in case you wanted to check new from a dealer than "Craig's flea market".
My bad, I am on a "classic plan". If you are a heavy texter, no better keyboard IMHO.

Tmobile will price match so go online and you can probably find someone giving it away free with a new contract then just show them the website. That's what I did and I used amazon wireless to show them, walked out of the store with a free sidekick

They told me on the Value Plan I have to pay retail for the phone, and I don't even qualify for the rebates, however different rep's have told me different things on the rebates.

[Q] I need a nexus S

Help me out My daughter is set for upgrade. she wanted a Nexus S. Sprint says it is no longer available. i have talked to telesales, stores, and retention. Does anyone know how to get one. from sprint using an upgrade has anyone recently gotten one? There are no other phones avail on sprint that she likes. The newer high end phones... in her words " are too big to put in a pocket of any pants I own" I had to laugh but very true
any help or input in appreciated
edit I am still on sprints everything plus family plan which does limit my options. I can only get an upgrade direct from sprint, I cannot use third party stores, otherwise I lose my plan.

Sadly Sales for the NS4G thru Sprint are discontinued . Your only option it seems is to get one secondhand. The GSM ones are much rarer to find for cheap. I've seen the 4G ones being sold for 30 bucks in great condition on Craigslist over here in NY.

What about best buy or amazon wireless
I'll gladly pay you Tuesday, for a hamburger today..........

thanks guys.... tried all that... I was actually had one in my hand at a third party retailer but they could not add it to my account because of the everything plus plan. and no phone is worth losing that
topic still open how to get one directly from sprint

You could always purchase one off of Craigslist. Not sure about your location, I see tons of Sprint NS posted here in MN. Have the seller meet you at the Sprint store, or if you are trusting that its ESN is clear... bring it into the store and have them set it up. I've seen people do this quite often.

I can get them unlocked from our local carrier ...
... but I'm in Canada. You could try them for a direct outright purchase. All their phones are unlocked. dmts.biz/cellular-phones/
They only have 20 or so left though. Debating setting my wife up with one. They're going on promo next week for $100 with a one year commitment, $0 on 2 yr. Not sure if they're dropping the outright purchase price though. Currently showing as $525 (Canadian ... about $520US LOL).
(Oddly, I was just in there talking to them two hours ago about it.)

http://www.cowboom.com/, owned by Best Buy. They have them used for $99, all rated on a condition scale and most with pictures.
Their condition scale is actually pretty generous. Mine was labeled a "5" (out of 10, I think) and labeled as light scuffs and scratches. I'll be damned if I could find anything beyond a couple of nicks on the battery cover tab.

no go in Arizona on a used one. they seem to be real popular on Cricket and are still getting almost 200 used on craigslist. but thanks
