My local O2 shop had all bits except backpack. Charge/usb lead was £9.99. Aluminum case was £19.99. backpack (not in stock was £89.99). I bought case + stylii + lead. got £8 discount.
The girl in my local O2 shop looked at me like I was an alien when I asked for a screen protector.
haha.. its happens to me once in O2 shop......
As a manager of an O2 store I can help you out if you want to know what you can and can't get - to avoid the alien looks!
To be fair (due to, ahem, "budgets") a lot of store staff are part-time (bain of my life!) and don't get enough time to train on normal stuff let alone xdas!
O2 stores don't stock screen protectors (which is why the girl wouldn't know what you were on about!)...I have asked but to no avail.
I got a couple from the Dixons store along the road for nowt! (LOL)
Just PM me if you've got a question - but obviously I can't go delving into your account, data protection and all that!
Irnbrulad - this is a generous offer and I think you will have a queue of people baging on your door (if you let us know where it is!). I have been after the folding keyboard for xda 2 for months - any chance on letting us know where and when and how much?
Thanks again!
Ha ha, think I'm a few miles away from the majority of you guys! (north of edinburgh). As for the folding keyboard, we have yet to be given a confirmed date. There is a thumb-pad out which kinda looks like the keyboard on the blackberry device. Have a look at www.my-xda.com and follow the accessories link, then keyboards.
Hope this helps.
PS. prices are there for both keyboards too, you may be able to order the folding keyboard online, but we have yet to recieve them instore (that said, there are some stores that get priority for XDA stuff)
Thanks for taking the time to comment - if only more 02 staff were like you.
I went ot my local O2 store on saturday to buy an XDA II and was told they have none in stock and have no idea when they will be getting any. They wrote down my number on a scrap of cardboard to phone me when they get some stock - I'm not holding my breath!
They also have a lack of accessories. I would be really interested in the backpack because I do a lot of presentations and carrying everything around with me would be a great time saver - this is no-where to be found even on the net - does it actually exist?
Is it possible to get a list of O2 stores that have priority of XDA parts?
Thanks
Matt

Expansion pack first. It does exsist - not sure how many though! I've emailed someone i know in logistics to see if they can be ordered into stores. also asked which have priority. have a look on www.my-xda.com as there are details there.
Are you near london, if so let me know.
The xdaII has been out of stock for a short time at the warehouse. If you still want one pm me with your nearest big towns and i'll check the current stock
Got an answer for you. They haven't been launched yet - "hopefully in the next few weeks" is the response i got. Get back to me in a couple of weeks and i'll check again - i'll forget otherwise!
Any update to when these will be available in the uk? An Aus firm has just got them in stock so cant be far away.
I was wondering if there was any more news on the full size keyboard (can you tell I am keen!)
Thanks again - angus

Mate, if you refer to the due date of April 16th... that would be the very first time that EXPANSYS knows anything about their ability to deliver devices :lol: I am almost prepared to accept any bet that the release date will be any possible date except for April 16th 8)

Thanks

You can get it directly from HTC's UK accessory store. Can't post the direct link, but if you go to HTC's UK website, go to Buy and then Accessories you'll see that they have a Nexus One section with all the accessories.
You can order one on expansys website, anyway, I'm not sure about the shipping rates.
Thanks guys, theres two large sites, wonder why they didnt appear in my google searcj.
Cheers

Well I've looked at both of these sites recently and neither of them have it in stock, the listings are cleverly worded so it seems they do. But upon closer reading they're not in stock.
Is this still the case?
Did anyone else get this message. I'm apprehensive to replying as I feel it may be a scam....
It was in my PM box......

seems too shady. i wouldnt give my address out like that
report it to a moderator and they'll do the appropriate actions to the user
It is a legit company and all. I bought my keyboard cover for the macbook from them on ebay and they have some video reviews of it on youtube. A lot of user reviews (who got it for free), so I'm not surprised that they are giving it away to get a review in return.
Ask him for a phone number or refer him to the user who recently made a video of the Casemate Pop case in the accessory section.

I know its a legit company, I was just concerned because they had 0 feedback from the forum and it I have never purchased anything from them as well as it being a PM here and not something more professional like an e-mail. Oh well. I'd like to get a free case, I may do it.

How do you expect them to email you when you don't allow it via your profile?
Even with 0 feedback, they have to start somewhere. If you don't want to give them your address, then try to get a temporary PO Box, business address, or something similar. It can't really be a scam if you're only going to give them your name and address (well, none that I have heard of yet using just those two information).

That seems way too much work just to get a free case.
And you seem pretty open to a stranger asking for your name and address. Sorry but this is the internet, gotta be cautious.
If you really need a case, I'd recommend the Case-Mate Pop case. There's a coupon in the Pop thread that reduces it to $27
I think there's a marketplace they can post in instead off spamming forum members.

How'd you get that idea? If you work somewhere you could use that address. Oh and I know it's the internet, what do you think I'm using right now? Also, what's too much work? Registering on a forum? Copy/pasting the letter and edit the name? Is it so rare for a company to have a rep register on a forum?
Anyways, I agree that it seems shady and all, but a quick Google search led me to this xda member receiving the product. Of course, he's the only one so far that I can find via quick search.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914272
And then Rearth's official blog posted that review along with other user reviews plus the link to the review (most to AndroidForums):

You could just give them a call and ask for Blake.

It's the OP's choice anyways, you can send him my way if you don't want to do it. I'm kind of interested on how good this case is after looking at some reviews of the Evo version.

If i worked for a company, I wouldn't be suspicious by mass emailing users of a forum telling them to send me their addresses. It's just not very trustworthy.
It's the internet, people can pose as other people. Again, this is just for a free case, you shouldn't have to go through a WHOLE hassle process just to verify something. They could just went to the market place or the general forum and make a general post in regards for people to test out their product.
Approaching users of a forum via Private Message is not a good practice. It's suspicious. Especially when they never made any posts or contributed to XDA. They have no recognition around this community.
I could easily make a spoof account and say im a representative from Case-Mate and that I want you to test a upcoming case that we haven't announced. I want you to test our Case-Mate Barely There case before we announce it.
Would you easily just give someone your address? It could be a friend of yours who simply hates you and wants your address. It's not a smart idea to be so free to give your address away.
Ordering something online? Yeah. If they're a massive corporation and its something I can trust, I have no fear of giving my address away. To a stranger? not happening.

I understand why it seems shady, didn't I say that in my previous post? *Looks back* Why yes I did. So no need to waste your time to explain it. Geez.
Anyways, I provided information for the OP to go by. So that's that. It's his choice to make anyways. If you consider a quick 2 minute search such a hassle, then okay whatever, that's just you.
In reply to the suspiciousness regarding the method of contact. I apologize if it made anyone feel uncomfortable. Additionally, I didn't mass spam anyone. I sought through the entire forum and selected around 10 individuals who I felt would contribute a worthy review to the community. I could post my own review of the product but that doesn't carry as much credit does it?
Again, I apologize for this chosen method of contact. However, you won't have to worry about that method anymore in the future. We are setting up our official review request option on our new Website, and we will allow users (such as yourselves) to come and request to review one of our products if you like. But of course, we will only select a number of reviewers per week and will include only those individuals we feel will truly post a worth while review for others to view.
And I assure you all that I will be contributing much more to this community from here on out.
Well, we will see if its a scam, If he wanted my address he can easily look that up on the web. (note sarcasm)
doesn't sound like a scam, just a company trying to get xda publicity for their product by sending out a few free ones. op has over 2k messages to his name, so has some reputation here. you should actually be kinda honoured. if in doubt, set up a new email address and contact them asking for a phone #.
it's called marketing and all that jazz

Yes I'm pretty excited. New phone and a free case, sounds good to me. I'll also do a case mate pop case and incipio feather review.
hi all.
i'm looking for the real one, the original, the authentic one.
i already tried on ebay but they all are, at best, just close to the original quality...
i contacted htc europe and htc america but both said they don't know anything about the pouch
i finally read google forums but we all know that it is not so easy to get a google answer...
sorry but... who built it?
sources and links are appreciated,
thanks...
A friend of mine recently got the original pouch from HTC USA for free...

What I can suggest for you to do is Contact our Accessories Line at 1-888-716-3594 as well as going to the website shopamerica.htc.com and also htcdepot.com to furhter your search on the right case as these are both great accessories sites. I hope this information proves helpful and resolves your inquiry regarding finding a case on your phone. Please feel free to contact us again if you have any further questions.

Thank you for your prompt response. Unfortunately, HTC does not manufacture any accessories for our devices. They are all made by third party companies. Therefore, we have no way of knowing exactly which neoprene case you are referring to or who makes it. You would need to know the manufacturer of that case and check their site to see if it is still in production. However, here are some additional sites that you can check. Your best option might be the Amazon link as they have the largest number of resellers linked to their site. Shop America - http://www.shopamerica.htc.com/homebrands/index.htm Amazon.com - http://www.amazon.com/cell-phones-s...b/181-6435952-2642542?ie=UTF8&node=2335752011 Expansys - http://www.expansys-usa.com/ HTC Depot - http://www.htcdepot.com/ DayDeal - http://www.daydeal.com/home.php?cat=5452 NOTE : We do not recommend purchasing accessories from online auction sites, or little known resellers outside of the US and Canada. We deeply regret any inconvenience this may cause you, and we hope that you are able to locate the case you need from one of these sites. As always, we are here to answer any technical questions or concerns you may have between 6am to 1am EDST, 7 days a week for your convenience, or by phone at 1-866-449-8358.

When I was still under the 1 year warranty that comes for free from HTC, i called inquiring about my phone. I then asked if they sold oem headphones & pouch, he replied with they're covered too. He sent me new pair of headphones and pouch.

well, i would also be willing to pay for it...
I called HTC in the first week of January 2011 and managed to get a new battery cover and battery just as my warranty expired. But they claimed they were totally out of pouches and redirected me to the accessories phone line and web site. The original pouch is not on that site. My pouch is getting seriously shredded up... so sad.
People actually use those?
I think I put my phone in it on day 1, put the pouch back in the box and never looked at it again.
I just tried the 1 888 216 4736 line (which BTW has been taken down from HTC's site) and went to the warranty department. I explained that I was looking for this specific accessory which did not seem to be on sale anywhere, and which came in the box with my now out-of-warranty phone.
She put me on hold for a little while, and eventually did say that the pouch was available to be sent out as a replacement. I was willing to pay for it due to my warranty being over, but she said that didn't seem to come up on any of the screens she saw. So now I have an order number and a replacement is supposed to arrive. I'll let you know if it ever shows up!
I wonder if it's stretchy enough that it'd fit over an HTC Sensation with some coaxing.

Lol yeah I can see why... its a bit geeky to say the least and can be a bit annoying to use.
On the other hand I DO use my everyday since I got the phone (only got my N1 this January though (a bit outdated then I know)) and its brilliant! Keeps the phone really well protected from drops and scratching! Honestly if you still have yours and don't use another case anyway I would highly recommend using it!
I use mine more now than I ever have. I've had two otterbox cases break on me and I don't feel like dishing out the money to buy a new one, so I've just been using the pouch that came with the phone.
Here's one I found on eBay...
http://cgi.ebay.com/New-Original-Ne...ccessories&hash=item3363efd4b5#ht_2248wt_1163
Mine has never been out of the box, but I might be tempted to sell it if they're going for $100!
My replacement arrived from HTC! The part number on the packing slip is 70H00221-00M, for what it's worth.

interesting, via email they don't know what we are asking about and via phone they send it for free!
is there any plausible explanation?
First my apologizes if this is the incorrect place to post & also if this appears a foolish question,
what is the general opinion regarding MobileFun what are your experiences with them are they any good?
I've attempted to contact them before to see if there is any kind of customer service via Email but was ignored this was nearly a year ago thing may have changed since then.
And I'm only too aware that many company's falsify customer reviews on both review centre and also on Google shopping cart.
Being an owner of an Galaxy note, there are few online stores that stock any accessories MobileFun being the most prominent on Google search results in the UK.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Oops! What a cleshay noob move on my part
I just knew I'd find a way to muck it up somehow.
Hi
Let me first put my cards on the table - I am biased (because one of my mates is a buyer there).
But I do genuinely buy a fair whack from there, and I can honestly say I can't think of one major issue.
All I can say is if you buy and have any issues - just PM me and I'll badger my mate to make sure everything gets sorted.
PS don't know if it makes a difference, they won some awards recently
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/blog/about-us/
PPS My mate told me they had a a delivery of Zenus Galaxy Note cases, which will be going ontop the website today or tomorrow.... just in case you were interested.
Thanks for taking the time to reply
I can't help but be a little suspicious when I see reasonable price on niche products aka galaxy note.
