real-original neoprene pouch

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...

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.

could you ask him what did he do?
thanks...

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.

is there any plausible explanation?

about E_Cell ebayer

Should we trust E_cell ebayer?...
i saw his products, alot of people buying from them..

I wouldn't....
A quick google search of "e_cell ebay" has many returns and testimonials that he's a scammer.

Ha. I did a google search as I said, the very first return was a whole lotta people that got scammed and had to file disputes with paypal.
Do the search yourself or click HERE
Would scare me off for sure.

I don't know, I had bought a windscreen holder for i9000 from this seller a while ago, it was broken. I sent an email to him, then he sent me another one.

I have bought from him a few times. Mostly just accessories nothing major. Personally id never buy a phone on ebay just my 2 cents though...

Has anyone used this company before?

I found this on google. Seems like a good price for the Z5's. Was wondering if anyone has used this company before?
I don't want to be wasting my money if it turns out to be a scam website.

does look a little dodgy and the fact they say the price was £740 for the premium and £626 for normal seems a little off as ive never seen them advertised as that. They offer paypal so you'll have protection from them if go down that route.

Ive emailed them and they said all their handsets are UK stock so I might try them out and pay using paypal.

Mate, the normal Z5 should only be £550-£560. Haven't looked at the site but I'd say they're dodgy.

Before I buy from a website I've never heard (or seen) of I usually check their facebook page first, if they have one.
I checked Nigel O'Hara (with 40k likes) just now (and their Shop Now button went to the website you linked just to make sure it was the same) and all I saw in the comments on their posts was words like con, thieves, give money back and so on.
Also google for reviews, it doesn't look too good

It's a fake site used by scammers.

Anyone know where to score the band adapter in the US?

Looking for US based retailer.
Any info greatly appreciated, and TIA!

If you scroll down you will find threads where they are only in Germany or you can get non-samsung ones from ebay or Amazon. I think they are all the same (own vs Chinese ones)

A bunch of articles like this popped up in mid-April and haven't been able to find anything since: https://news.samsung.com/global/gear-s2-band-adapter-gives-users-more-styles-to-choose-from
I've asked a couple Sammy reps and they have no clue.
I saw this vid on YT but would prefer to order from or pick up in the US:

My bad... Thought I'd posted in accessories thread. I'm aware that they can be ordered from Amazon.de, Amazon.fr, etc, but I'm looking for a US based retailer.

Ordered mine through Amazon for $7.95. Took two weeks. Came from China. Works fine. Able to use my NATO straps now.

But the Chinese adapters on ebay & Amazon don't have the correct and matching colors. For me, that's a deal breaker.

There's still nowhere in the US to get these. Samsung has really messed this one up.

Where To Buy?

So, anyone know where I can pick this beast up?

I tried to find a Vivo nex in a shop in Belgium, then expanded to Europe... but no luck. Then I saw Ali express mentioned some shops doing pre-order. I contacted a few - I'm always afraid of fake devices when buying from China - and one shop cached my trust. Si that's where I ordered my nex. It should be deliverd in about 30 days. I'm so excited about this device. I will report my experiences once I got it.

Wow ,it is the moment I found Vivo showing its AD(LOGO) on the World Cup 2018 field that I realized Vivo NEX might be for first time Chinese Android phone actually became a shining superstar in the world.

Yea, please let us all know how you like it when youve had time to play with it for awhile. I know I wont pick up one for a few months, maybe Christmas time. I am very eager to see what developers start doing for this phone tho, I hope it has a huge following.

I will test my new device for sure. Especially those things that bother me most: is that fingerprint on display efficient? What about apps that use fingerprint for confirmation or login (bank apps, safeincloud,...) Will those still work? Will the device 'feel' the difference between tapping the screen and adding your fingerprint? Will apps need to be updated for this device? What's about that screen vibration that replaces the speaker? And will it still play music without earpeaces? Then what about Google play; will I be able to install my favorite apps and will they run as they do on my other devices? In a way, it's all part of the excitement of expecting an new device...

I prerecorded mine here:
aliexpress.com/item/VIVO-NEX-Screen-Fingerprint-Cellphone-8GB-128GB-Snapdragon-845-Smartphone-Octa-Core-6-59-OLED-Full/32884745578.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.20b14c4dFanTlv

Thanks for you information, I appreciate it very much. So far it seems the only one I can find short of waiting for JD.com to ship to Canada is liaow.com.
Have you ever ordered from them and I assume by your comments a good experience?
Thanks again

Looking forward to hearing feedback when those of you who have ordered this phone rec
I'm still trying to decide which phone to buy this year, so many have come out or are due to come out. This phone looks interesting, I like the size of the screen, the battery capacity, the rear camera specs and the fact it's an international phone that includes LTE bands for North America. I hope to see some reviews once new owners receive their phones and have a chance to use them. Thanks in advance.

This is what the Mi Mix 2 should've been, what the Lenovo z5 wishes it can be, and what every notch phone needs to be. Lol.
Anyway hate that resellers always jacking up these initial prices. Gotta wait a couple months before I can pick up this bad boy.

I can confirm this seller is a boss. He communicates really fast and guess what! The Oppo Find X that'll be announced in 2 days will be carried by liaow.com and he will allow me to switch my order if I want! He also messaged about switching the language to english and preinstalling the google play store.

Oppo Find X looks beastly too. People are hoping that future OnePlus 6T will be based off it.
Good luck with whichever phone you go with

Also listed on Banggood and CECT-SHOP, but you can't order it. I think it will be available next week.
Yeah for me if will be the Vivo Nex or Oppo Find X. Tuesday we know more about Oppo Find X
Finaly the dream phones are coming.
High-end phone, big flat AMOLED screen, black color, almost no bezels, no ugly notch, dual camera and et cetera.
