HTC Pouch Hell

So about 3 months ago I carelessly lost my stock neoprene pouch.
Since then I've raised 4 calls with HTC UK support via email and phone, and been promised a replacement each time. Has it arrived? Hell no!
Then I emailed HTC US to see if I could order from them (happy to pay cost and shipping to the UK) - no reply.
It really is a bit poor how hard it is to get hold of another one. I know 3rd party cases are available, but I loved the original. I did order a £3 replica from Hong Kong but it's rubbish.
I don't suppose anybody in the US would consider ordering me a couple and posting them to me in the UK - to be paid back via Paypal? I know US users have had success getting them free and paid.
Thanks.

I feel your pain, I thought I lost mine last night and my girlfriend thought I had lost my mind xD.
I've emailed HTC and will let you know when I hear back.

Take one of these:

They are not exactly the same but they really come very very close and it's great quality. I bought 4 of them and i have 2 original too.

Thanks Isbe and watercool.

I'll sell you mine. How much does HTC want for theirs?

I'll buy it if the OP does not want it. The N1 sleeve is the coolest mobile accessory ever made.

Thanks. I believe they charge $7.95 and $7.95 shipping in US. I could give you $10 and I think you should be able to ship it for a similar amount or less (there's no major hurry).
PM me if that's OK.

/me opens his Nexus One box, checks pouch.......
/me wonders if this is the same thing everyone else seems excited about?
/me puts it back in the box...

Wow simply amazing!

People actually get away with this ...

People always rant about these things. It's really just a service for the technically inept; I don't see anything wrong with it myself. If you would rather spend $25 than invest the little time necessary to learn how to do these things yourself, then you have that right.
I pay to have my laundry done even though I own and know how to operate my washer and dryer. Should we egg my laundry ladys house? Eh...Caveat Emptor!

I've seen similar local ads too. One the other day advertised rooting for $40. My only problem would be what assurances do these folks offer in terms of insurance in case they eff up someone's phone. Would suck to get a brick and a "sorry" back from the guy.

Yep I'd never use a service like this...kinda like taking your new Corvette to get serviced behind Bubba Joe Billy Bob's Trailer. Bubba might know what he's doing...or you might be calling a tow truck.
But then again, I routinely make large purchases from people I know nothing about (Ebay). So...eh... Yous rolls the dice yous takes you chances....

It's actually not a bad idea, of course you would have to know exactly what to do in case things hit the fan!

if its a LG washer and dryer than its ok to have someone else do it since a reboot during laundry can cause stains.

Things like this amaze us because we understand technology and this is an utter nonissue, but for a lot of people it just isn't.
It's like cars, to a mechanic paying for an oil change or tire rotation is absolutely absurd, but plenty of people do so, because they just don't understand cars. What is an easy job for me might be incredibly hard for you.

I've done this with jailbreaking iphones along with unlocking them to use them on tmobile. You would be suprised how many people want this done. I had about 10 calls a week. Only ended up doing about 2 a week for a bout a month due to the distance factor and people bailing. But still, i jailbroke and unlocked about 5 iphones and made a quick 100 bucks for doing something that i enjoy doing. I love messing with gadgets. Keeps me occupied for a while.
tl;dr: people pay for this all the time.

I would join in as well! There is a kiosk at tempe market place where the guy does cell phone repairs and upgrades/updates... it might be his advertisement haha... i actually had him fix my old tmobile dash (htc excalibur) back when the power button broke and he resoldered the pins to make the power button work again...

[Q] Sell me your Thunderbolt please

Hi all. Any Bolt owner who wants to sell a Bolt if you're giving it up for another - i have recently obtained stupidity as a skill of mine, so obviously putting that to use right away, i handed my 1 yr old daughter my phone, and watched in slow-mo as she slammed it down to the kitchen floor, cracking the screen.
(It's not jagged, still smooth, and the touch is not damaged, but there are many "sprayed" cracks).
I have a nice th3ory rom on it, and i've already bought nice accessories for it, so i'm not giving up! Rather than wait for my wife's upgrade and take hers and decide whether to send mine in for repair, i want to know if anyone has a Thunderbolt they want to part with? I would take a rooted one that you confirm has a rom that has been discussed on the forums, i'm real happy with the Bolt and would like it back. Discuss here! Then maybe we can set up a price for it! appreciate it XDA!

i have a TB in great condition I MIGHT be willing to part with if the price is right.

I have a TB running s3ns3th3ory (god what a stupid name for a rom). Phone is in gorgeous condition, has always been in a heavy, hard walled, leather case. No scratches to the screen or the body, no wear marks anywhere.
Don't know absolutely yet whether or not I really want to sell it but will consider offer.

Was afraid you would see that. If I didn't like it I wouldn't be running it but I sure wish you had thought up better names! Ok, I got the name wrong, but the same effect for the right name. Sorry, love your roms, just hate the names.

Pretty sure you cannot sell phones outside the marketplace on xda.

This belongs in the market, thread closed.

Yes people do. I've actually wanted to get a second one for a while.
I am not amused by your phones performance

New ones in the box seem to go for around 300 on ebay still.

So i'll sell mine for $250 shipped. $475 for the pair. They are att&t. But also one of the easiest phones ever to unlock. I'm glad to do it for anyone that wants it done before shipping. At the moment they've never been out the box.

Not sure how to respond. Because your absolutely correct. No one has any reason to trust me what so ever. And theres no way to change that. But my options are this or ebay. They have lost tons of value as it is because of the length of time I've had them. I'm sure I could get 500 on ebay, but by the time I pay their fee and paypal s fee for the money transfer and the shipping cost I might have 425 left. If you've sold on ebay then u know. And we all know what they cost so the thought of selling a brand new galaxy s for $212.50 seemed crazy. Wasn't sure what to do. I dont need the money but they'll be worth nothing if I continue to hold on to them. Its ok if u dont trust me.

Try Amazon.

Why not try Craigslist?

Just bought a second one for my wife. I'll keep these until the Galaxy Note has been out for a month or two. Loving that 5.3 inch SAMOLED. No reason to go to the SGS2 that I can see. It is awesome, but not that much better than the Captivate.

Sure there is. I havnt sold in a couple years(another reason why I shy away, so much has changed) but i remember paying an extra .25 just to have a pic posted during search. Extra charges if you use alotta pictures. And the charge just to post, and the extra if you sell your item. Things of that sort. My accounts havnt been activated in a while. I went back to paypal the other day just to update that accout. New bank and such. Because i bought a few accesories for the captivate I use now. If the person thats interested perhaps lives in southern VA or northern NC maybe we could meet. I live on the line midway (Halifax County, VA) Or if there is someone you really trust on the forum I could send the item to the first. And when they get it they can let you know. Then I could recieve my payment. Of course it would have to be someone of high standing. I would hate to get ripped off myself. Just know I'm not here to scam anyone. I could take pics of the items if it helps. At least you'd know I actually have them. Beside a printout of this post so you know i didnt just copy a picture from the web. I'm trying here guys. I'm an honest person. I dont care if I sell them now. I guess now I'm just trying to build a little trust.

Post edited - You must post for sale items in the marketplace.

[Q] Advice on cheap tablet for child

My 9-year-old daughter really wants a tablet, and I'm considering getting her one of the ultra cheap ones that's floating around, especially in this cyber-sale week. She doesn't have the best history of caring for her things, so I don't want to spend more than $100 on something she'll likely break sooner than I'd like to know. I recognize this means I'll end up with junk, but I'm trying to filter the junk.
My main concerns are having at least Android 2.1, and the ability to hopefully hack the genuine Market onto it, although I'll settle for the Amazon Appstore. Being able to do all the basic things without being horrific at it would also be very nice.
Does anyone have a specific model they could point to? I'm seeing some Velocity Microsos and Pandigitals on sale, along with some cheap no-names from sites like ahappydeal.com, but I'm trying to make an informed decision.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

.
Thread moved to Q&A due to it being a question. Would advise you to read forum rules and post in correct section.
Failure to comply with forum rules will result in an infraction and/or ban depending on severity of rule break.

DealExtreme.com have a lot of Android items. Just be sure to read the reviews. They may be extremely cheap but there are limitations. I use the website to buy cheap gadgets as gifts for my friends lol. But yea, if you need a simple Android tablet with a certain spec give them a try.

Yeah, I already buy a lot of things from there, but was hoping I might find someone who has more direct experience with a specific model.

I'd run up to Walmart, Staples, Office Max, or Radio Shack and see what they have in regards to e-readers. Velocity Cruz Micro is one I believe is sub $100 one at my local Radio Shack. Find one that you like for the price and then see if your able to load the market, or better yet a custom rom.
When your looking in the less than $100 catagory, that's probably your best bet. They're at least made with some care for the consumer in mind, where as an elcheepo china model isn't.

I've not seen anything there in a price point below the Nook Color you're writing from. Certainly no sub-$100 Android tablets. Or has their inventory changed recently?

Oh my bad sub $100. No go with retail stores. Definitely Ebay or DealExtreme. Hard to imagine local stores selling anything cheaper than that.

Ah, thanks for the clarification!
Yes, I was looking at the Velocity Cruz units that were on sale on 1SaleADay today, but as I dug into reviews I wasn't liking what I saw. Some really odd limitations and compatibility issues that concerned me. Left me thinking they'd be no less of a frustration than the Chinese ones from the descriptions. Might not be accurate, but that's why I was hoping for people with some real-world experience who did some of the hacking themselves.

Well, I can't help you there, but I can tell you with these cheep units that your experience will almost be gauranteed to be a crapshoot. It might work for me, it might work for you, it might not. I'll dig around the net and see what I can find for you though. I'll report back in the morning, I gotta get some rest for the night.

Really appreciate the assistance. I've done some research of my own, too. I'd love to get her something really good, but I just know for a fact that if I do I'll get a call a week after Christmas that she left it out in the snow, or her dog chewed it up, or something. But I also don't want to get something that will frustrate her enough to CAUSE that.

Wasn't there a £30 7" tablet floating around eBay with a capacitive touch screen running 2.1 Eclair? I'm sure somebody mentioned it on these forums a while back and a few members bought one for family members, might be worth a look there.
Good luck finding one.

Well, most of what I'm finding is Chinese ones that break the hundred dollar mark after shipping and what not. The ones that stay below that either turn to vaporware or are ungodly aweful.

While I agree, which was my concern, if I go above that point it's both prohibitively expensive and a really stupid move on my part. I know her well enough to be shocked if this thing survives more than six months. If it does, then I can consider putting real money toward a good one for her. But this is basically a test run both of her responsibility and of how into it she really is.
