How about a $104,000(!!!) Case?

http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00B7QGT6U/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&condition=new
I don't know if this has been posted before, but I've been looking for a case that is Minimal and still shows off the back of the phone. I came across this one and went to look at the prices available... than I looked at the last option... $104,921.73!!!!! I HOPE this is a seller error... I really do hope... I just thought this was funny and I would share with fellow Nexus 4/XDAers. Have a good one.

Actually it says $13,99.
Or maybe the dollar devaluated again...
Edit: OMG just saw it! What a silly way to say you're out of stock...

look at the bottom^^

Got mine yesterday! Great case i have to say. Highly recomended!!! :good:

And they have the nerve to charge 5¢... Lol
Ehh the rest of the shipping and handling cost is in there somewhere!

I was thinking if ANY case is that much it better have an extra 3,000mh (if that's the right abbreviation) battery built in, signal boosters for both WiFi and Cell Data/Radio, pure diamond and/or hardened steel, light-weight, and have an extra voice assistant that knows you by name and balances your checkbook.
Side note, I am thinking about this case but does it add a lot of extra bulk to the device?

Possibly buy it then try to get a refund through that place? Sounds like a plan

Three UK deal

Hey guys,
Since I already posted this in another thread, I thought I would post a new topic just in case anyone misses it.
I've got a friend working in Three who is able to get yourself the S4 at £35 a month but can also give you a £30 credit and some extra minutes too :good:
If anyone is interested then feel free to give me a message
Just out of curiosity, has anyone bought the phone from Three yet? How was your experience?
BTW this isn't just exclusive to the S4, there's other phones too.

was due for an upgrade from three, got the £35/month 500 min unlimited data also got a home signal box for free as i get bad indoor coverage.

Haha

After a few PM's with several other members I thought I'd post how this works...
I simply forward your phone number and name to someone who works in Three's direct sales department based in Glasgow. They'll contact you at a specified time and discuss the phone, the plan and the offer with you. It is up to you whether you want to place your order right there and then or place the order at another time. The order must be placed over the phone however in order to qualify for the deal as this is the only way they can add the credit and minutes to the account.
Contact me for more information if you are interested :good:
As for why I'm posting this here, let's just say I owe this person a favor

Basically DarkStones mate will be getting a commison from each of you. Which I personally think is a nice thing to do, just a shame im mates with my local store manager so already have mine ordered.
Well played to you though mate!!

Not personally no, but I've heard from others that it works pretty well

Just a heads up guys, from 26th April onwards, there will be a £49 upfront cost for the phone if you buy it online or phone into inbound sales.
Of course I can get this waived for you even after this date :good: Also, this is a new contract and not an upgrade to your existing contract for those that are interested.

isn't this the same deal on the Three website which you could also get around £75 cashback via TCB???

You wouldn't get the extra minutes and TCB may take a while to track. The credit can be applied immediately to the account by ordering directly from Three via myself. An additional £30 credit can also be added to a friend or family Three account if you have their phone number too.

I'm always suspicious of posts like this - how do we know that the 'friend' who works for Three isn't the OP.

Simply put, I don't need to, look at my history and you'll see what I really do for a living. I'm just helping out, to be honest it doesn't matter to me whether people are suspicious or not though

Hey guys, just a quick bump to let you know that the offer ends at the end of this month. Also, a big thank you to everyone who has taken this deal up :good:
My S4 is due to come on Friday, can't wait ^_^

(US) Samsung Experience @ best buy, got to hold an S4

Hey guys, just wanted to open a thread regarding the Samsung stores @local best buys in the us.
Went into a store today to buy ink and stumbled upon a Samsung rep setting up the mini store. Had a quick conversation with him.
He let me hold the s4 and we had a quick chat about the phone. Apparently he had a s600 s4, but it was not carrier branded. He wouldn't let me take a picture of it though.
Love the design of it and it was very comfortable to hold in the hand, since it didn't have that security thing attached.
Anyways, just thought I'd share this, so you guys can keep a lookout at your local best buy.

I wish I could've taken a picture but he wouldn't let me. Just the fact that he had one on him in the us is awesome (btw, he was a Rep from South Korea hq).
I can say one thing though.....The bezel was almost non existent on it. So beautiful. Def gonna be my next phone.

i wonder if this means we might be able to line up outside a bestbuy to get an international s4, instead of relying on importing from uk websites like Clove .. I'd definitely be one of the ones who camp out overnight!

I doubt it...you know how the us is with availability of the good stuff. I was surprised he said his was the snapdragon version, since he's from corporate. Must really be a supply issue then.

Unless they got someone from corporate setting up, I doubt it. But if they do, just casually ask about the release date, and hope they're willing to show you.

Good luck! If you do see it, just focus on the bezel. Videos are chill, but seeing it in person, the bezel is just so thin.

Yes it does look thin as hell. I don't think they will let me have an in depth hands on but I look forward to see the screen and navigate through the UI a little.

What color was the s4?

Yeah, I was lucky to even hold it. I didn't wanna overstep his generosity, so I just held it, and checked out the screen and the design of it.
And it was the black version, but it was in a window flip cover.

Exchanged

Went to Best Buy and had to exchange my S4 for another one. My phone kept losing connection to the network. It did it 3 times and all my text messages and missed calls would pop up all at once a couple hours later. Anyone else had problems? I don't know if it was the update. Seemed like everything started going wrong after.

I was in WalMart yesterday and asked the guy behind the electronics counter of they've had a lot of gs4 returns. He pointed to two boxes behind the counter and said those were the only two they've sold and both were returned days later for losing their connection to the network. This is in Leitchfield, KY.

Hmm, don't know whats going on. I was thinking about getting the htc one but I came out with the same phone again. This one seems a lot more responsive. I don't know if I want to update it or just wait. I might have just got a bad phone. It's rarely that I have issues like that. The guy at Best Buy said most of their returns were because of lag.

Sure hope this doesn't happen with mine.

I'm in Fort Worth, Texas. Maybe Samsung shipped out a batch of bad GS4s. Hopefully nothing goes wrong with my new one.

a buddy of mine had a similar issue on the SG4 and HTC One; turns out it was his sim card. which, by the way, was brand new. hope you guys have better luck.

Checked my phone for the update. Seems like it was already updated. So this phone must have been just delivered to the store the other day with the update preinstalled. I've only had the phone freeze one time when I was using the camera last night. Other than that everything is working great.

I haven't gotten mine yet, as I'm not eligible for upgrade until June. I'm on the fence when it comes to color, though. If I go with black, I'll definitely get the 32GB, but I'm kinda diggin' the white.

Call AT&T to order. I just did it 2 hours ago. Black is out of stock but white was still available. I recommend doing it quickly before they are out of stock as well.
