Where do get a genuine OEM battery cheapest?

I was thinking of biting the bullet and going to a sprint store...........but nah

for the price of buying one at the sprint store, you could buy 6 generics and a 3 at once charger. 22 bucks on ebay.
there is always the chance they will just give you one at the sprint store too. you never know. if it is a service and repair center, they might have a bunch of extras laying around from sendbacks.

i have 6 of those generics id prefer the oem
and I meant from sprint store bundled with the charger

The charger/cord that came with the epic is crap. I use my old HD2 charger/cord. You don't want that thing.

meant this

well, details in the first post as to what your looking for are good, but like you, i like to take 3 posts to explain my self too. i guess you found what you are looking for. thread closed now?

no i meant i was gonna get this but its way too much
i was inquiring as to finding a genuine one online cheaper

You won't.

Search using the oem battery model number. I found an OEM battery and the charger case for around $20 bucks.

I say try this, back when I had an HTC Touch I was given an extra battery twice when I took my phone in for repair.

Try this:

I mean at the sprint store I work at, we tend to just give new batteries to those who complain about bad drain for free.

I found it for ten bucks less on amazon.

$22 is not less than 10

The link you gave had it for $35. Do you want just the battery or the battery dock bundle?

Why are you guys doing all the work for this one? There is a little site called google. Try to copy and paste the model number of the dock you want in the search bar. Trust me. It works.
Now what's the next q? Let me guess. Where do I find that?

Motorola Triumph Battery cover

Good luck.

Just tell VMU that the tabs broke off or something

if i had one i would send you one sorry man! check ebay

I asked VM to replace a scratched battery cover, and offered to pay for it, and they sent me a message back saying I should go to [store I purchased the phone from] and do an exchange... Apparently they'll wait until you're out of warranty until they send you anything.
Except they don't sell, they just give. When I commented about a bad back and a flaky screen, they sent me a whole Triumph in the box and told me to just send back the old phone (and apparently keep the extra accessories).

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 would not recommend this site to anyone. I placed an order a week or so ago and it still says processing with no reply from the site. Pretty sketchy. Luckily I used PayPal and have a dispute in.

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)

Oh yea, thats my favorite when all the sellers have "their own personalized photo" on the item. And good luck finding an otterbox they are more rare than diamonds.. And way better, I love mine!

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

That is because,it is not a hyperlink it is just the URL.
Edit: That is a total joke. I checked to see how much they would give me on my HD2 and it was $35. Now I understand the HD2 is a old phone now but I can still sell it on Ebay for atleast a $100. I also cchecked to see what they would give me on my Sensation and it was only $100. Now the Sensation is justca little over a year old now and the one I have is even still under warranty. So yeah this is a joke, they do recycle the devices but they only recycle the devices to get the precious metals out of them.

100$ for an undamaged HTC sensation...

Useless thread.

is this only for US citizens? or international (UK) too?

These websites are a joke. Gazelle, this and others just give you the option of just giving your phone away. It's the worst way to get rid of your phone.

Wow. I can easily sell mine for $230 on ebay.

I'll stick with eBay!

how long would you guys recommend having an auction? the good thing with this htc site is that it will be fast.
i did some research into uk alternatives and if you google phone recycling a few websites were offering £100 for sensation xe. I guess that's ok if you don't want any fuss and are looking for a quick sale

THC Thouch Pro is to old to get any money... I can sell it for at least 25$ =75PLN... Even polish Orange runs this kind of recykling and they would give me 50 PLN for this phone.

which basically means they dont care for the value of the phone, only the value of the metal, hence the low price?

Thanks for link, just sold my broken sensation for $117 on eBay...

They seem to go for upwards of $200 on craigslist around here; $100 not a good deal

Uk Cases

Hey does anyone have any links to good cases that are available online to purchase in the UK.

Just got my Nexus 4 yesterday and was thinking the same. All seems to be US kit on here. If I find anything worth purchasing I'll post back. Let us know likewise if you find anything. Cheers.

There's a bunch on Amazon.Co.uk
I got a black S-line one for £2 or £3 - free screen protector. Absolutely fine!

Can't review it yet, but there's some reviews on youtube. I didn't wanted the hard TPU type so I went for this one. Anyway you have a lot of cases in that website, and all from UK.
Don't forget to search for the case you want on ebay, I ordered my Flexishield from ebay for 2.55 pounds instead of paying what mobilefun is trying to rob!

Grizzle34: The one that I bought in ebay was this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271122627...eName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 which has finished already but try to contact the seller because he sells a lot of this type of cases and he will probably add a new ad soon. And it's cheaper than mobilefun
(If I somehow helped you please press the Thank you button)

I've been in contact with Capdase who I've used for both my Galaxy S2 and HD2 previously as liked their case that much and they replied today to say the Nexus 4 will get their Softjacket case as it's in production and should be released mid to end of Jan. Happy days
This is the one for the Galaxy Nexus so you can see kind of what it looks like. Best case I used and will definitely be buying it again. Mobilefun stocked them for both my last phones so think they'll probably do them again and IIRC was about £13.
Hope it's of some use as don't want to start a new thread just to say they're coming out.

When ordered it was listed as 'FlexiShield Skin For Google LG Nexus 4 - Black' there wasn't the option of Smoke or Clear.
So, I've got the smoke version which means you CANT see the back effect. No idea about the clear one.

You'll want a ballistic case, you could bounce your phone off a wall with one of those on. There doesn't seem to be any available yet though. I'm a joiner and would usually use something like that myself but I got my N4 insured so I'm not too worried, just stuck a Best Skins Ever full body skin on it.

OK thanks I will look ballistic up. Yeah my last phone survived alright but my nexus is the 1st phone I've paid for outright and I wanna keep it "new" for as long as possible. I don't think a skin would offer enough protection for me really.

Found this, looks similar to the ballistic cases http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00A06Z41E/ref=cm_sw_r_an_am_ap_am_gb?ie=UTF8

That looks promising in terms of bulk and protection. Sure is ugly though!
For that price I think its worth ordering though, thanks
