Has anyone tried the RocketFish screen protectors available from carphonewarehouse on their nexus s?
The other one they offer is the INVISIBLESheild which I've heard produces an orange peel effect on the screen (and are about twice the price). The only other ones I found were from AMZER and H&V both of which had mixed reviews.
Opinions?
Thanks
Heck, I would buy the product just based on its name. It's RocketFish damnit!
Does any one know where else to buy it from? Carphone Warehouse doesn't seem to ship internationally.
What about Martin Fields screen protectors (www . overlayplus.com/NZ/MFOP-GoogleNexusS)? Are they good? It's not out at the moment though.

You do realise that the RocketFish brand is an in-house BestBuy brand, similar to Insignia.
I thought they just have an exclusive deal like tech 21

Yes SIR
In the US and ordered one. Says it ships in less than a week.
Final price after tax/shipping $69.58 USD
Seeing them in the US play store from here as well, damn that's expensive though, I won't be purchasing one.
Just ordered one!

I'm right there with you man. I was hoping for a lower price. $50 would have been acceptable, well for me at least

*sigh* Not available for purchase in Canada. That is so stupid. It even says in the description it works in Canada. Why are we getting shafted???

Ack 71 shipped all together. Now i have three wireless chargers
Ordered mine!!! Would have liked a lower price, but I bought it anyway.
PureMobile (Canadian mobile accessories store) tweeted today that they're expecting the orbs to be in stock in March. I'm guessing Google Play Canada will be getting their stock the same time if not sooner.
I just hope that the magnets will be strong enough the hold the phone with a thin case in place. I'm rocking a diztronic TPU and just ordered the hybrid fusion

Ditto! I have the Vu on order, now this coming!! *Sigh*
I really wish I could afford this right now... time to go get a job
Does anyone know if this will work with if my N4 has a Poetic slim case on?
Please excuse my ignorance - how is this more convenient than a regular charger? You still need to plug in the orb to the wall socket when you want to charge the phone, don't you? So isn't the orb really just a fancy replacement of the micro usb plug, without any real added value?

Keep in mind that those increase the thickness which may cause an issue with water resistance because of the bulge it causes. Even if it is minimal

Hey guys has anyone seen where t purchase the genuine wireless charging back as shown here?
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EP-CG900IBUSTA
I don't want the S-View wireless charging option but just the back. Seems like all the accessories are in VERY short supply. Why doesn't Samsung have everything ready to go at launch? Seems it would hurt themselves to not have accessories to sell with the phones.
I've seen them at T-Mobile stores

They have it listed on Amazon.
Amazon has it listed as shipping in 1 to 3 months.

Register your phone on samsung.com and you can get a 50% off coupon. Then just wait for it to come in stock on samsungs website and get it for.... half off!
That's only in America

Im pleasantly surprised, based off the photo's of the wireless cover that it is not as thick as the S4 wireless charging cover.
This means we should be able to use any case available:good:

According to my calipers 1 mm would remove the camera hump, so if the pictures are accurate, the wireless back is not thicker or not appreciably thicker.

I found a OEM Samsung case on the Samsung website http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EF-PG900BSESTA
Anyone know a place that sales it? Samsung is on back order

Do you happen to have a Samsung Store nearby? I have seen it in local Samsung stores.

As the poster above suggested. Or if you don't have a Samsung store in your area, just Google the Samsung part number which pulls up a lot of online vendors who say that they have stock.
I found one on ebay out of Canada. Seems to cover ok with the wireless charging cover but I prefer the Tech 21 Impact tactical. Has better protection and covers better even with the OEM wireless charging cover.
Anyone know if this cover would work with wireless back?

Yeah should be just fine, it looks like a typical clear TPU case from Samsung, hence the price compared to any other on amazon for like $10.
