Presell cases?

Every AT&T store, RS and BestBuy Ive talked to wont sell any cases until Sunday, because "thats the start of the sell of the One X". Im not sure I want to use my phone for a few days and not have a case on it to protect it in case it falls.
AT&T: We have several cases in the back, but we cant sell them until Sunday.
Me: So Im trying to buy something from you and you're telling me "no"?
AT&T Ill say yes on Sunday.
Me: Seriously? I have cash right here and I want a case that you guys sold to me early.
AT&T: Actually, the sell starts Sunday.
Me: But the pre-sell started last week and you got an email saying that all presells would be delivered two days earlier. Now I want my case to protect it.
AT&T: Today is not Sunday, Sir.
Me: Wheres your Manager?
AT&T: Oh, would you like to tell him how much Ive helped you?
Me: Id like him to be aware of your condescending attitude towards paying customers.
AT&T: Hes out to lunch.

none of my local stores would sell me a hox even with them in stock...all of them offered the accessories to me when i told them i preordered...
how do i get the status "sexy"??

Att.com didn't ship cases until the 2nd. I ordered it 2 weeks ago so I could have it here when the phone arrived, but it's not going to make it until tomorrow. The order page didn't have pre-order listed anywhere, and I didn't get any notice it would be delayed. It is what it is I guess, but I did buy a very nice Nillkin case from eBay that I will be using today. Enjoy your phone, and be very careful the next couple of days.

They all offered you accessories? Looks like I need to keep calling around.
Oh, and the extra status thingy is a secret.

try to be verrrrry careful. i haven't dropped or dinged up a phone in... forever. last time i dropped one was my iPhone 3G back in like '09 and it had a slider case on it by goincase (best case for a phone i've ever had in my life).

[Q] will i be able to buy the nexus 5 anywhere else than the play store in the UK?

Hi I'm wondering if any of you guys know if any shops (highstreet ones) like carphone warehouse will be selling the nexus 5? Only I'm not sure what do do if I was to receive a faulty phone out of The box.

Right ok so as far as i know CW sold the nexus 4 after it launched and so did o2(Im not sure about other carriers) so hopefully it will be the same this time around but it might take a week or two for stores to get them in stock if google doesn't give much time between the announcement and the release and in terms of what if it is faulty you are covered by the Sales of goods act in the uk so it should be a case of just going into the store and getting a replacement
I will probably have to buy mine from CW since i don't have a debt card that the play store accepts but im only doing this if they can match the play stores price which they will probably not

More then likely but remember, when the nexus 4 came out it was £239 for the 8gb and £279 for the 16gb, i saw the 16gb go for over £400 in stores.
if the nexus 5 is £299 it will more then likely go for £500 + in store

BestBuy Matches Samsung Rewards Offer

Just wanted to drop a quick line here to tell you all that BestBuy will accept and match the 50% off any $50 accessory coupon you get from Samsung after registering the device. Best of all, it doesnt use up your coupon code (Note sure if the codes are unique or not) so you could reuse it on Samsung's website later. Options are slim right now, but I did just pick up an S-View case for mine for $26 after taxes. Unless you go for the non-Samsung knock offs, you wont find them for a better price.
Take care all!

based on my experiences with BB, it is definitely YMMV, especially when there's a coupon involved.

Yeah, it really depends on the associates. If you tweet out to Best Buy Support, you'll get an official answer via policy. But if a store wants to drive accessory revenue or something, then they will make exceptions.

This will be great if I can get it done on my local BB since I really wanted Samsung Protective Case which is sold out online. But knowing my local BB..... I'll probably be turned down even if I got the Note 4 there few days ago.

How would one go about obtaining this price match deal? I really want the plum red s-view case which my best buy has in stock but I don't want to pay the preposterous price of 50$ for it? Thanks for any assistance

To up your chances, bring a webpage printout of the offer along with the terms and conditions. Show it to the person checking you out and you'll have a good chance. As always, YMMV with retailers.

I take it this is US only? No such deal for Canadians?

definitely YMMV. I took my print out there, and they told me to pound sand.

So is this offer real. I would love to see if they take it for smart watches.

Anybody know places that carry the N9 Magic and Keyboard cases?

Amazon is sold out.
Where are these cases for sale?

From what i can tell they're not available anywhere. Even the google play store lists them as "coming soon".

Amazon had them up for preorder. Mine was supposed to be delivered today but it hasn't even shipped yet so who knows. Also I wouldn't buy it from amazon anyway they have a lot of SCM issues with preorders and I wouldn't trust them even though I normally like amazon

yep,
posted in another thread about this.
pre ordered days ago when the htc foilo case was in stock on the site. got an email confirmation guaranteeing i would get it today.
email this morning states they dont know when they are in stock and threw out a december 4th date.
IVSO has a similar style case with the keyboard. oi may snag that. the reviews on it are for another product though...
classic bait and switch..

Anyone having luck finiding this watch?

I messed up and didnt order one at release, now im wanting it pretty bad.
Anyone having luck finding it in the US? I have read reports from several people that some 3rd party vendors that are shipping from Korea are shipping out international version ( no samsung pay, right? ) so I'd like to avoid that.
Frys Electronics shows it available for shipping first week of Jan.
Id prefer to go through Best buy or amazon, anyone have some insider info on them? Customer support has zero info.
thank you!

I was able to find it at Best Buy.

I had the same problem. Couldn't find it anywhere, finally I took a chance, and went to craigslist, saw one going for $200 no box, I asked the guy if the charger came with it, he said yes. I took the chance, went for it, and it's just the watch, with the charger, (no cable or power block) but for $200 it's not bad. I factory reset it before I did anything, so far so good, everything works, Samsung pay works.

Best buy

None of the best buys in my area or anaheim, ca or las vegas have them in stock. The best my local best buy was able to do for me is give me a 10% off coupon ad they couldn't even let me place an order to secure the 299 price.
Been keeping an eye on Craigslist too, thank you guys!

I usually check nowinstock.net for email notifications when they come in stock at Best Buy, amazon or B&H.
https://www.nowinstock.net/electronics/smartwatches/samsung/
It actually looks like its in stock at best buy currently with free 2 day shipping: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/samsung-gear-s3-frontier-smartwatch-46mm-dark-grey/5647800.p

Aww snap! Thanks for that! I was at bestbuy not less then 2 hours ago and they were showing none. Anywhere. Ordering!

I Also got mine from Bestbuy about a week ago, but they were out of all the Bluetooth only editions. I ended up convincing them to sell me an ATT version for the same price and I'm just using it as Bluetooth only. Seems they are out of stock just about everywhere..

I ended up getting two shipped out. One came in today and the bezel clinks quite a bit. Going to see how it compares to the one arriving tomorrow.

Found one under my Christmas Tree. :good:

I just bought one today from my local Best Buy. No Best Buy locally had them until yesterday. Per the manager I bought mine from, they had a shipment of them come in yesterday. They only got 4. There was only 1 not ordered online that was available for anyone to walk in and buy. They didn't have a demo unit on the floor.

AT&T has a special if you upgrade a line, you can get the S3 for 50 bucks...just did it myself. Doesn't have to be the Flagship, either...any Galaxy phone.

Just walked into my local best buy today and they had one left. It was $350 though. They said they will price match until the 15th of January so hoping it goes on sale! Either that or Verizon announces they are getting a LTE model and I'm returning this one asap

Picked one up, the last one, at my local Best Buy. It was $350 but I was able to use a one time 10% discount. Came out to $337. A few bucks more than with tax on the sale price. Ordered from Samsung 3 weeks now and still no updates. Cancelled that order.

whoever is looking, I use this site to stalk the stock of the main website/stores to find most things and the watch was one of them. It even says at this exact moment amazon has them in stock
https://www.nowinstock.net/electronics/smartwatches/samsung/

None of my Best buys stores in the Bay area has it in stock. Starting hitting craigslist and picked one up for $220, like new in box with all accessories and the receipt from Amazon. Can't express how much more comfortable this is compared to my S2.

They have alot in the Fort Worth Texas areas

Man i have had the same luck with Samsung. I ordered during the christmas sale and its been weeks. Aholes haven't shipped my order yet. Best buy has been out of stock since a long time near me, either. So i kept checking almost daily like a routine and finally found in stock, ordered and cancelled my Samsung order. The frustrating part is Samsung website has been showing The Frontier will ship in 1-3 business days since past coupla days. I called their agents and they all be like- "Oh sorry, it just means it will be delivered in 1-3 business days, once it leaves the warehouse. It is not what you think". WT?? Man I got so pissed calling them again and again with no luck, they all repeating the same sht. I have a strong feeling they are not shipping in the order received. I think brand new orders at full price are still being shipped sooner than those back orders sold at sale price.
