Nope, odd they would do this via PM. Why not just ask the public for testers.

Well the company seems legit, I just looked it up and other people have been asked to test it.

Sounds a little fishy, but if its legit I'd be down to test a case for em

i also been contacted by email by some guy claiming he worked for that company i just deleted it cuz like gideon said y not contact public idk seems fishy

I got one over on androidforums.com. Guess it might be a way to generate a bit of marketing buzz for the product if people do like the case and post about it. The rep seemed nice enough when I wrote back declining the offer (I keep mine in a belt case and don't see the need for anything else). I do note that there's a thread in this forum about the product.

You and me both!
Either way, based on the review here I figured I'd give it a shot and order it. Don't like seido cases since the last one I had for my N1 liked to slide off as I pulled it out of my pocket. And don't like the cases T-mo offers.

I feel left out lol
G2x with CM7 and faux kernel. NONSENSE!!!!

Just for kicks I responded. If I recieve a case I will be sure to post a full review with pictures. I am using a Body Glove case now which is pretty nice and fits better then several other cases I have tried. I will be curious to see if anything comes of it.

Interesting indeed. I know someone said they already ordered one of their cases and liked it on the forums. Wonder if its the same case they want tested? they can always contact me *coughPleasecough*

I got a PM over at androidcentral about the case. I responded, got the case and will be doing a review in the next few days.

I got a rubber case for my G2x from RearthUSA... I just got it today and have to admit it fits nice and I feel that it is more protected than the clear hard plastic case I got on AMAZON the same day I got my G2x back in April... the previous clear hard case I had for my phone just pops off after the first contact with the floor and you have to pray that your phone does not do a dead cat bounce when its naked - this Ringke case from Rearth USA is all rubber and actually absorbs the impact and doesn't come off...

Where is my pm... I like/want free stuff too...

Me too!

Just Sold My G2X

Hey guys, well when i first got the g2x i couldn't put it down, but it lost it's luster the longer i held on to it, i sold my ipod touch last year and ive missed it since, i also spent a goo $100 in the itunes store, i decided to move to the iphone and the first step was to get rid of my phone, i know the 5's coming out but i cant afford that , and im not gonna sign a contract, i got $300 out of my G2X, which i think isn't too bad, i am currently looking at craigslist and ebay for an unlocked/unlockable Iphone 4 for about $300, if anyone has one hit me up. Maybe once ice cream sandwhich hits and the fragmentation stops i might come back to android, but until then im gonna be on an iphone, i'll keep this updated with my thoughts/regrets if any, did i get a good price, let me know what you think?

why even post this?

i didn't realize i was breaking the law, this is in the general section, it's a discussion that you don't have to read or post anything if you don't like it, no one has a gun to your head.

Seriously, what's the purpose of these I sold, wanna sell, thinking about selling g2x threads, just do it, gtfo, be gone. Good riddance, and go frequent the I phone or sensation forum. Troll.

You got $300? What kind of condition was it in? Reason I'm asking is because I'm thinking about selling mine which is in almost new condition. The only way you can tell its used is by looking at the chrome strip on the battery cover under a bright light. You will then see some surface scratches but other than that, there isn't a mark on it.

I'd sell mine for $600. I'd donate $50 of that to Cyanogenmod team.
I'd also likely flirt with you guys' moms, and if they bought my phone I'd throw in a little bonus if you know-what-i-am-saying.

Otterbox [Mother of all cases] for the G2

Hello,
So I am thinking about getting a G2. Thing is I love otterbox. They are so lovely. I have one on my 9900 right now (yea I know, its a blackberry.. flame me..)
I have found evidence (more evidence) of an ancient myth- that there was production of the otterbox for the G2/Desire Z. Problem is looks like they are a commodity right now. I found one on ebay (for $99- no thanks) and amazon has none in stock. I couldnt find any on craigslist. Any other ideas or successful vendors you G2's users have used (pun) ?
Or better yet, anyone want to sell me theirs?
Thx.

Whoa, those prices are ridiculous. I am currently typing this on my Otterbox Commuter covered G2 and it is indeed awesome, unfortunately I won't be departing for a new device for quite some time...
Your best bet will definitely be getting one off of an owner who has or will be moving on soon. Best of luck good sir.

Two links I found after a quick Google search, I have never dealt with either of these sellers, so as always be vigilant and use PayPal if you can.

i have the otterbox commuter case for the Vision/DZ/G2 that I am not using right now. Had it on and loved it, but grew to like the feel of the phone by itself. If you want to cover shipping, I could send it off to you. PM me if interested.

PM sent. Thanks.

I liked mine, but my front panel broke after a month or so, and so did a few other people I know

I agree the cover is great but the front is weak. They have stopped making the covers so that's why the prices are high.
I am currently using the otterbox back and a case mate front. (Case mate had a weak back).

I found some new ones for 30~. http://pathfindersalesdirect.com/otterbox-commuter-htc-g2-desire-z-black?filter_name=g2

I have one of these outbox cases and it is the best investment it has saved my phone from the concrete floor of my basement many times I found mine on Google shopper and it was under 20 dollars be wary of skechy sites and sellers tho
Sent from my HTC Vision

Truth. I finally got one and its probably my favorite thing about my G2 (lol). I love this case, its so perfect. I finally hunted one down after sketchy site after sketchy site was out of stock (thanks paypal for the refunds).
I bought on here and actually bought one at the same time on ebay; just in case, because these cases are rarer than diamonds. Go otterbox!

I do like how the majority of the Otterbox cases on eBay have the exact same picture... it makes me feel very safe buying from them (sarcasm)

Same here, this phone just felt solid without my otterbox. But nonetheless it is a great case.

Nunchaku-like "Trick" Cover...

So I remembered watching this video of an amazing novelty case for the iPhone 6 and 6+ and always wanted to get one...
Turns out it was actually made!(albeit a different manufacturer) You can go to their site here to check it out.
Is anyone else seriously interested in something like this? Turns out they don't ship to the states but Canadians can get it! I'm sort of hoping on the off chance for someone to order one for me to buy... It's about $19 CAD or $15.50 USD. Shipping is about $33.50 CAD or $27.20 USD for you folks interested.

Hey where does it say that it doesn't ship to USA?

I tried checking out and the only countries listed are as follows: Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, and Canada.

Is no one really that interested? I can see why the cost of the case might not even be worth it at all. Just wanting to see if there was anywhere else since I've scoured the webs and haven't found one for our note 4.

That is possibly the stupidest case design I have ever seen. I'm betting after a few days use your phone will probably fly off it flipping it around like that!

Design looks cheap and ugly to me, and the nanchaku trick thing is stupid. Why would you want to do that, and with an $800 phone no less?
Sorry, but thats my 2 cents.
Sent from my SM-P600 using Tapatalk

Lol! Like everyone else said... Looks silly to me. And risky! Why not just get a butterfly knife if you feel the need to flip stuff? Safer that way. Maybe us naysayers are too old for this stuff. Beside the fact (putting aside whether it's cool or not) I wouldn't even think of it unless I had insurance on it. God I feel like an old fart

I have a balisong, but you can't exactly flip that in public
The phone for me was purchased second hand for a fraction of the posted $800 so I can understand people feeling iffy about that if they did pay that much.
All-in-all, understood everyone.

I do like the adjustable angle to stand your phone up. All of these kickstand cases only have one set angle--the bad one.

Anyone else tired of their note 5

TL;DR I can't stand Samsung and my note any longer, anyone else feel the same way?
As I sit here looking at my note 5 and all the accessories I have for it, probably 10 cases, several tempered glass screen protector's, level on Bluetooth headset, 2 level on wired headsets, 2 Samsung qi chargers, most of which hasn't even been used and I find myself hating it all. I prefer Nexus devices yet I thought I could handle Samsung again, I was wrong. I can't lol. I still owe on the phone else it would be gone, am I the only one? Anyone else just want out from Samsung?
Not really whinning, I got myself into this mess and eventually will get out of it but the thought that I may not be alone has me intrigued. The phone itself is great, Samsung and the elements of tw that I can't ditch as well as still being on L have finally just gotten the best of me I suppose. You? First world problems at its best I suppose.

I have always enjoyed compiling my own builds and picking what I like when running AOSP, something I knew wasn't going to happen with the note but none the less, I miss it. I prefer stock Android, again, my fault for thinking it wouldn't get to me like it has and also lack of updates, even security updates. The phone has its pluses, no question and has an awesome screen.. Just not enough for me anymore.

Absolutely true, if the phone was paid off or I could afford to pay it off I would go that route. I can't right now, I owe around 500 on it, they sell for less and I would then need to replace it with another phone for around the same amount. Nothing I can do right now, more or less just frustrated and wanted to complain lol.

Maybe you could afford to pay it off if you hadn't bought all those accessories.. ಠ_ಠ
I just don't get the point of this post..
Lets take the logic of it and apply it to something else.
I really like building computers, love swapping out parts and beefing up the memory, swapping graphics cards so I can play the latest games. Then I bought a surface tablet. I'm sad, anyone feel the same way?
Did I mention I also got every color keyboard they offered to go with it? What was I thinking.

The accessories were given to me from Samsung, part of the promotion's for buying the phones. They sent me the Bluetooth version of the headset as they were out of stock on the regular ones, I purchased 2 notes and an s6 edge +.
The cases and screen protector's came from amz trader, have maybe 5 bucks in them all total.
You do not have to understand this post, don't have to agree with it yet you feel the need to comment that you don't understand the point, ironic no? This is the general section for the note 5, I am posting my thoughts on the phone after 4 months of using it, I am over it and made a mistake on buying it.

What I don't understand is someone buying a device they obviously wouldn't be happy with then coming to write a post about how they unhappy with it.
The whole point of my over the top analogy was to draw attention to the fact that you bought something you wouldn't like, and surprise surprise you don't like it.
Usually I don't see much purpose in posting the obvious.
Now if you were looking for ways to like it then I could see a point. No one said you couldn't post. I just shared my opinion on it.

Not going to get into a back and forth with you over it, just seeing how others feel about the phone after having it for a while.

I'll say it does suck being stuck with something you aren't happy with. Maybe consider trading it in at best buy to pay off the EIP and get a nexus. See what kind of dent their trade in will put on your EIP. I'm thinking it's at about 200 to 250 on trade in though.
Sent from my SM-N920T using Tapatalk

I'm in the same boat.
I wanted the S7 edge to be my new phone but the locked bootloader forced me to upgrade to a note 5 for root.
The Nexus 6P has serious build quality issues. It literally folds when a phone shouldn't.
I could trade in my Note 5 to T Mobile for 242 and that would leave me owing $170 EIP.
What else is there?
The LG G5 has some serious build quality issues (small space between chin and screen, it's plastic, lower quality screen, heat issues, etc).
Compared to what's out there, the Note 5 is the best of the rest less the S7 edge.
I really miss my S4.

Come on guys, the man made a thread to complain .... let him do so along with those who want to. Coming in here to force them to see it your way is not going to fly, and will just lead to arguements that will take away from the purpose of this thread....as against it as you may be.
He is a note owner, and he is stating his opinion just as you all have about how much you love it a 5 years after its release (yes im over exaggerating)
