That is what the UK Play store is saying!
I wonder what is happening? Is there not going to be an official case/bumper anymore?

Says the same in the US... However, I have hope it will be temporary. Google plans to open retail stores (as does Microsoft, both to compete more directly with Apple I assume) and it would make no sense whatsoever if these accessories disappeared before the retail stores begin to appear. Maybe they're doing it intentionally or maybe they just have supply that cannot meet demand and delays in manufacturing. At any rate, I suspect we will see them back sometime in the very near future.
Maybe it's a sign that a new Nexus is on the horizon?

Wasn't there a white official bumper in the news a few days ago? Maybe they are updating it for that.

It looks like it's in stock if you navigate to the bumper directly from an old link, but if you just try to browse for it in the Play store, it's still no longer there. Just the wireless charger shows. I nabbed one off Ebay yesterday after it sounded like it was going to be discontinued permanently. Have a replica but the fit and finish difference is ultimately big enough to me that I'd prefer the genuine thing, for the black bumper at least.

I agree. The Replica's feel like there's a case on my phone. The real ones feel like it's part of the phone, no creaks or imperfections. Well worth the money to nab the official one.

That's a very good way to put it...I had bought the OEM one during the first wave of sales for it, but sold it during the time people were paying way more than retail for it. Having the replicas now, they do really feel like a noticeable case on the phone, whereas I remember how the OEM merged with the phone and practically became the phone. I couldn't shake that old memory and had to repurchase the real deal. The replicas are fun for the extra non-OEM colors though.

For $20 delivered it would be expensive but maybe worth it, but once you add tax and shipping it's almost $30. For rubber bumper.

Well, now you can get on on eBay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/OEM-Neoprene-..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item255a44941a
Granted it's from Hong Kong and will probably not be such high quality as the actual OEM ones, but we'll see.

That one is just a G1 case called differently. It will fit Desire, but it's different from Nexus One case.

great! thx for the link, thats cheap
Hopefully the quality won't be as low as the price
Would this case be loose enough to accommodate both the Desire and a gel case, like flexi-shield?
I doubt it because on Nexus One it's pretty tight. Though for that price you might get it and try to stretch it.

Regarding the difference between the oem pouch for desire and nexus one,

No friend,the one for G7 is a little bigger than this one you were order,do you want to change it?

If that is what you ordered.. it is the wrong one for the G2. They are calling the MyTouch 3G the G2. It was a mistake a lot of people made when the MyTouch came out since it was the 2nd T-Mobile branded google phone.

Hopefully they are at least as good the ones from bestskinsever.com which I had on my Nexus.
Zagg doesn't even have full skin yet, and is a rip off anyway. Had zagg full skin on my G1, and their quality is not better than any of these other knock off skins. Just fancier packaging. I like that you could get replacements for the cost of shipping, but it's still cheaper to just buy multiple of these cheaper ones.
I'll post a review once I get it.
Ghost Armor will be available soon. I went to the hut in the local mall and the guy there is the regional director or something, he said he would have it the earliest on Thursday.
Can't find the full-body Zagg shield for the G2. Only the screen cover is available right?
None yet.

Lovely looking phone, but serious build issues involving where the horizontal speaker grills meet the screen. A lot of them (both the ones I had and also the three ive seen in my local shops) seem to have this raised screen/sharp cutting edge issue in the top left.
Also there were some superficial things I didn't like - the large bezel, the slightly awkward capacitive layout etc etc.
Anyway excited about giving the s4 a go. Anythings gotta be better than my old 4s.
Wow thats too bad for HTC haha

Just tried the HTC One and the build quality while it is amazing the phone has nothing particular making me hyped... The display is sharp but faded. Maybe I've been using amoleds too much? The phone isn't comfortable to hold for long periods of time because of its sharp edges and the demo was already scratched in the back...

When I went in to pre-order my S4 I played with the HTC One display unit there, they had only had it out for a day or two...and the back was super scratched up it looked like someone used it without a case for a few years. The iPhone 5 demos there didn't look anywhere near that bad so I'm not sure what's up with their aluminum.
However I thought the screen looked great and I really loved the feel of the phone in my hands with that curved back. I'm hoping I get that premium feel with the S4 too.
(I actually switched from the HTC One X to the Galaxy S3 and maybe was one of the few, but I honestly liked the feel of the S3 more)
To stay on track: Got my email at 9:13 am. Phone has shipped and I'll be getting it on 4/25!
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't jealous
Forgot to post this last week...
My original pebble blue S3 went "missing" (don't ask- alcohol, strip club, parking lot brawl = no more phone).
Got a replacement through Asurion which ended up being a brand spanking new in the box black version, not a refurbished one. I tried to convince the operator at Asurion to give me an S4, but she wasn't having it! Thought I'd share the info for whatever purpose it may serve

Not sure what's sexy about shelling out $100 plus $120/year for a phone you got for $49 originally. I dropped Asurion after the three replacements they sent failed within days or never worked at all. Clearly what they send out are usually returned items from Verizon's stores. Verizon gave me a $100 credit and a new phone after I complained to a tier 2 supervisor.
Paying monthly plus a deductible just never made sense to me. Better to get a good case and if it does break either wait it out to buy it for your next contract or Craig's list it. You'd get a better deal.

Never bothered with those sort of plans. Last winter I slipped on ice and fell on my S3. Fortunately, I had a good solid case and the xGear tempered glass protector. Bottom line, phone suffered NO damage. XGear protector did it's job sacrificing itself which I was more than happy to replace with another.
I'm also told some Homeowner's policies can cover electronics such as phones.

i buy my phones through a site called wirefly.com great prices good service and most importantly they offer insurance 7 bucks a month no deductible and if they cant fix it they send you a brand new phone and its a pretty quick turn around

Because if you ever have any defects past the 14 day period you get the extended warranty on your phone = 2 years instead of 1. Also you get FREE overnight shipping which is $15 for them to ship the warranty replacement to you. Otherwise they give you free crappy media mail which takes like 3-5 days for you to get your replacement phone.

Hello
I've recently extended by contract with Tmobile and chose Samsung Galaxy S4 LTE-A as my new phone. For the last year or so I've been using a Droid 4 bought off a friend, it was my first smartphone ever and I don't want to give up having a physical keyboard. I've seen lots of talk about the black or white slider keyboard case, but nothing about the silver one I would link to if not for this forum's rules. They are available on ebay, circa 20 AUS and have a shiny silver finish and flat keys partially separated with indentations.
Has anyone tried it? Are the keys touch-only, or do they actually depress a bit? I'm interested in it, since it uses much more of the available surface estate than the aforementioned models.
