HTC Pouch Hell

So about 3 months ago I carelessly lost my stock neoprene pouch.
Since then I've raised 4 calls with HTC UK support via email and phone, and been promised a replacement each time. Has it arrived? Hell no!
Then I emailed HTC US to see if I could order from them (happy to pay cost and shipping to the UK) - no reply.
It really is a bit poor how hard it is to get hold of another one. I know 3rd party cases are available, but I loved the original. I did order a £3 replica from Hong Kong but it's rubbish.
I don't suppose anybody in the US would consider ordering me a couple and posting them to me in the UK - to be paid back via Paypal? I know US users have had success getting them free and paid.
Thanks.

I feel your pain, I thought I lost mine last night and my girlfriend thought I had lost my mind xD.
I've emailed HTC and will let you know when I hear back.

Take one of these:

They are not exactly the same but they really come very very close and it's great quality. I bought 4 of them and i have 2 original too.

Thanks Isbe and watercool.

I'll sell you mine. How much does HTC want for theirs?

I'll buy it if the OP does not want it. The N1 sleeve is the coolest mobile accessory ever made.

Thanks. I believe they charge $7.95 and $7.95 shipping in US. I could give you $10 and I think you should be able to ship it for a similar amount or less (there's no major hurry).
PM me if that's OK.

/me opens his Nexus One box, checks pouch.......
/me wonders if this is the same thing everyone else seems excited about?
/me puts it back in the box...

Non- Commitment pricing.

Anyone know what the price is going to be without contract?
I contacted an AT&T retail store and they didn't really know, but had read that Samsung posted $350 dollars on facebook. That seems low to me.
I haven't seen any pricing for non-commitment anywhere. Thanks!

+1
I would also want to know, because I'm planning on buying it with no contract.

AT&T Hi Mark - the Captivate is $199.99 w/ contract, and $349.99 without.

Hopefully this is the actual price since a few people are able to confirm it with a few AT&T reps.

OMG if this is the price for the phone I am definitely getting this phone off contract and using my upgrade for another phone aka iPhone 4 to sell for a profit!!!!!!!!!!

How much is IP4 going for?

$700+ on ebay!!!!!

I had my iPhone 4 since it came out (16 gb) and used it the whole time.
I just put it on craigslist and sold it for 600 in less than a day.
Now, I have money for the captivate!!!

What kind of fees would AT&T charge you for the switch? If it really is $350, I'll do the same

Yes! The price is $350 without contract! That's very nice, I'll check tomorrow my local AT&T store to see if they have any in stock already as some people already bought it.

I'd love to go get one tomorrow, but I go to an authorized retailer and there is one person in particular that I deal with. She's always treated me well, and they are a lot nicer than AT&T retail stores. She is out of town until monday I guess I'll be waiting for my phone 'til then.
The one thing I know nothing about is how to load custom roms, as this is my first open source phone! (first had symbian, then iOS) I am excited to see what else is out there.

If its only $350. I'll be buying this Phone off Contract ASAP.
Even tought i wanted an HTC or Motorola. Device ie nexus one, desire. This will do, since my G1 keeps overheating and is on its last legs.

There's people been buying them since yesterday for $350 off contract, so the pricing is real.

wow $350?!...hard to believe really when the tmo version is $499.
http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/phones/Cell-Phone-Detail.aspx?cell-phone=Samsung-Vibrant
wait and see 3 more days...

I just returned from AT&T here they let me handle the phone. He showed me the price of the off contract phone as $300.00. He was shocked, but it was right there in living color. They will sell me one this Saturday morning. I will be there.

Wowz0rz
If this pricing is the same here in Arizona Ill be posting my HD2 for sale, use that money to buy a Captivate, and use my phone upgrade for an Iphone4, turn around and sell that beast as well.. Should come out wayyyyyyyyyyyy on top. Good god what a good deal. Thank you AT&T for getting something right.
Good luck to all who seem to be going down this cash flow road. Wooooop!

@willthebill - I am surprised that the Captivate is going to be 350 when the one for t-mobile is 500 as well! I am quite excited about it!

Selling

Hi, sorry but I don't know whether or not we can sell here. But here's my listing: I have a 2 weeks old White Mytouch 4g. Letting this go because I realized I'm not a touch screen keypad person. Phone comes with the box and original accessories, ghost armor shield, and silicone case. Price is 300 obo or trade for Sidekick 4g (like new condition). No low ballers or spams. I live in West Seattle, Wa. Send me a message or comment on this thread and we can work something out.

Good luck getting 300. Anyway, you'll want to post sales and stuff in the Marketplace, not in device-specific forums.

The highet anyone would pay is 160-200 now, if the phone had just came out then he could get away with 300+. And OP you should put the phone in the marketplace area of XDA, or put it on eBay. I would avoid craiglist since there's more seller protection with paypal. I sold my MT4G for 200 which seems justified, that might be the best price range.

I paid $300 for mine back in Feb so I would be surprised if anyone is willing to pay that price 8 months later but they are fools out there...

CL or Swappa is probably the two best places to get the most. Some people on CL just pay a lot sometimes and almost every phone on Swappa are over priced from what I can see.

Just too costly.. even car values depreciate..

Does anyone still buy the captivate?

I'm new therefore not allowed to post in marketplace. I got 2 brand new in box.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using xda premium

Yes people do. I've actually wanted to get a second one for a while.
I am not amused by your phones performance

New ones in the box seem to go for around 300 on ebay still.

So i'll sell mine for $250 shipped. $475 for the pair. They are att&t. But also one of the easiest phones ever to unlock. I'm glad to do it for anyone that wants it done before shipping. At the moment they've never been out the box.

Would it matter? I'm also open to trade. I'll gladly give them both away for an sgs2

I bet you would. Sgs2 on Amazon goes for about $550+. You said you would let them go for $475/pair. Yeah, I can see why you would do that.

Anyone that buys from this guy is a compete fool. No offense buddy, just looking out for the members. There's a reason u need a certain amount of posts to list in the market place. Lots of people getting ripped lately. Sorry buyers beware

Not sure how to respond. Because your absolutely correct. No one has any reason to trust me what so ever. And theres no way to change that. But my options are this or ebay. They have lost tons of value as it is because of the length of time I've had them. I'm sure I could get 500 on ebay, but by the time I pay their fee and paypal s fee for the money transfer and the shipping cost I might have 425 left. If you've sold on ebay then u know. And we all know what they cost so the thought of selling a brand new galaxy s for $212.50 seemed crazy. Wasn't sure what to do. I dont need the money but they'll be worth nothing if I continue to hold on to them. Its ok if u dont trust me.

Ha. I didn't know. I'm sorry I came off wrong. I was just trying to get rid of a couple extra phones. I know nothing about "scamming". Can we just delete this post? Its went completely in the wrong direction. Maybe ebay was my best option. Irony was I never thought about selling them in the forum until I noticed the"marketplace"
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using Tapatalk

Try Amazon.

Why not try Craigslist?

Just bought a second one for my wife. I'll keep these until the Galaxy Note has been out for a month or two. Loving that 5.3 inch SAMOLED. No reason to go to the SGS2 that I can see. It is awesome, but not that much better than the Captivate.

Sure there is. I havnt sold in a couple years(another reason why I shy away, so much has changed) but i remember paying an extra .25 just to have a pic posted during search. Extra charges if you use alotta pictures. And the charge just to post, and the extra if you sell your item. Things of that sort. My accounts havnt been activated in a while. I went back to paypal the other day just to update that accout. New bank and such. Because i bought a few accesories for the captivate I use now. If the person thats interested perhaps lives in southern VA or northern NC maybe we could meet. I live on the line midway (Halifax County, VA) Or if there is someone you really trust on the forum I could send the item to the first. And when they get it they can let you know. Then I could recieve my payment. Of course it would have to be someone of high standing. I would hate to get ripped off myself. Just know I'm not here to scam anyone. I could take pics of the items if it helps. At least you'd know I actually have them. Beside a printout of this post so you know i didnt just copy a picture from the web. I'm trying here guys. I'm an honest person. I dont care if I sell them now. I guess now I'm just trying to build a little trust.

Post edited - You must post for sale items in the marketplace.

Insurance advice - broken gs3_ Help please!

Hey guys less than 30 days ago I bought a GS3 from best buy on Verizon. Last night I dropped it and of course it bounced and fell down a 3 story stairwell and shattered the screen and broke. Since its been <30 days I should be able to get protection from best buy or Verizon (Asurion) or others, but I wanted to ask you guys for advice on what I should do and if there is anything I'm not thinking about. I really really don't want a refurbished phone but if it's my only option then I have no choice. If anyone has a recommendation on what insurance plan to get please let me know. Thank you in advance!

I would check to see which plan would cover the device faster. I may be wrong and probably am, but assurion used to have a 2 week window in which you could not make a claim from the date of insurance purchase. Not sure how it is now. Their reason for the two weeks was to make sure the device was working when coverage was purchased to cut down on folks buying broken devices then turning around and filing a claim. Hope this helps.

I think Best Buy will give you another one in the store after you pay the deductible. Couldn't hurt to give em a call and grab a case while you're at it :good:.

I used to work at best buy when I was in college. In order to put the protection plan on the phone after the date of purchase you have to have the device with you so they can make sure it isn't already broken. Unfortunately if you didn't get the protection plan when you bought the phone the best buy route won't work.

Best Buy has no deductibles
Good luck OP...I hope you plan on keeping the insurance after you purchase it.
Not sure if this borders on fraud...kind of like having a house fire while on the phone with the insurance company trying to add coverage
so will close this.
