Collect Order Cruzerlite Case Germany Nexus 4

thread can be closed!

I would be eventually interested in buying a XDA-Developer case. But they are only released in 4-6 weeks.
Also you should keep in mind that you have to pay 19% EUST when the order is about 22€.

Yeah I know but it would be cheaper nonetheless. Total cost 11.90€ + shipping in Germany. The order must be less than 150€ in value as well to avoid customs...

I pre-ordered one on the 11th Dec and it shipped on the 10th Jan.

Here I am, but I'm from Italy...
I need a BLACK Androidfied A2 for my Galaxy Nexus (12.90 dollars), because I can't find this color in any european stores :crying:
An international ordinary shipment from Germany to Italy is quite cheap and fast. :good:
So, if you need my help, just ask me and let me eventually know how much for shipment costs.

It's 3,45 euros with Großbrief International by Deutsche Post.
A good price for me...
If you find all german buyers, I know it's easier for you...so follow that way and just let my offer go.
But if you can't achieve the 100$ limit, keep me in mind and let me know with a PM... I'm always available.

Okay. Maybe I will buy as many as necessary and sell them on ebay afterwards.
But I can order one for you too! That would be with taxes 12,5€.

i would like to order one of the Nexus 4 cases as well. should we wait if the xda-dev cases become available within the next week? those look really awesome. otherwise i would take a green Bugdroid Circuit Case for Nexus 4: http://www.cruzerlite.com/cases/lg/nexus-4/andy-circuit-case-for-nexus-4
edit: additionally i would also order a samsung nexus 9250 case: http://www.cruzerlite.com/cases/sam...sona-case-for-samsung-galaxy-nexus-andy-splat

So far its only 7 cases :\ We still need at least 2 more!

i need one too Bugdroid Circuit Case for Nexus 4 in Teal

[Q] Where to Buy the Nexus 5? (USA)

Hello XDA,
I missed the small window of opportunity to purchase the nexus 5 from the play store (16 gb), and now it is almost a month out of stock. I am looking to buy the Nexus 5, but can't find a well-priced retailer. BestBuy andRadioshack (along with my carrier) tack on an extra $100 , which I really don't want to pay. Has anyone successfully purchased the nexus 5 from somewhere other than the Play store for less than $450? If so, is it still available from that location?
Thanks,
ccrama
(I am in the United States)

You may get better results if you edit your thread title to state which country you're looking to buy in.

I think it's an awesome device

I personally would try craigslist. That's where I bought mine. The guy sold it for $400 which is like $9 more than it would have been with tax and shipping for google play

I'm going to try to find one on craigslist, but ebay is way overpriced, like 150-200 over play price. I might have luck on craigslist!

Stop posting questions in the General thread. Read the stickies.

You can get them anywhere now.

Best place to buy in the UK?

Is there a goto place to buy in the UK with a UK warranty?
Had a nightmare with oneplus and wont' buy chinese again until they have some local presence.
The Honor 8 in blue looks great, so hence the question of where to buy.
vmall.eu looks like its not UK based...
Thanks

There's cheaper but i picked mine up from Amazon just for the peace of mind of their returns.

Your best bet is to purchase the Honor 8 UK edition thru vmall.eu (https://www.vmall.eu/uk/honor-8-blue-292297/) which includes a warranty (see specifics here: https://www.vmall.eu/uk/warranty-policy/). If you have any other questions regarding the device and warranty policy, please let us know. (NS)

I got mine from a three store in the uk. No other stores stock these.
Can't go wrong mines blue looks gorgeous

vmall.eu's shipping seems from Expansys?

i phoned them and told them I don't need a sim card thanks.. already got one, so got just the phone for 339. If you get told they can't sell them on the phone and online only, then hand up and call back until you get someone who knows what they are doing. took me three attempts. must be why they are called three!

Buying them Honor devices from Three UK you get the same warranty as if bought online via Vmall.UK.So trust assured you good on all accounts and Vmall will deal with you directly once bought.

Got my partners from three today a d on the phone there is like a customer service portal, typed in the imei and she has a two year warranty
Sent from my Nexus 6P using XDA-Developers mobile app

I found only three mobile selling it for me and like mentioned i phoned up three and told them i had no need for a sim card and just wanted the phone to which the lady was more then helpful, mine arrives tomorrow as i ordered Sunday ...
i cant wait.

Thanks, I have read those and they don’t specify who the repairer is and what country they reside, so it isn’t clear if its shipped abroad to get cover or done in the UK and are subject to UK laws?

Between 3 and Expansys, Amazon are by far the best option for me, but they only cover the device for one year and then you’d have to go to honour or others?
Just not clear and although it looks a lovely device, I will steer clear until it becomes clear who i deal with if anything should go wrong.
Thanks for all the input, much appreciated.

Its SIM only and unlocked. Use what ever carrier you want and get the phone with generic firmware for £339

The phone from three is unlocked so you can put what ever sim in you want.

I think 1 year is good enough already... usually after 1 year, manufacturer will stop/slow down upgrade, at that time, you have to rely on developers from XDA or places alike.

i have to agree here, most places will only offer a year anyway as after this they normally have slowed down production and are at that point concentrating on another product.
if its that much of a problem about aftercare i would personally find good insurance for your phone after the year is up @OP
i have insurance on all my electronics so i never pay a thing for breakdowns etc.

essential cutting the price of the ph1 by $200

What's the chance for us early adopter to get a refund? Or are we Sol?

The facebook post says early adopters get a 200 dlls coupon. That could bring the cost of the phone to 300!

They better release the dock before then. =/
Pretty miffed about this.

Link is in their blog post. https://www.essential.com/pages/friends-and-family-offer
While it's nice for them to offer this to us early adopters, it really doesn't benfit us unless they release the dock or other accessories by Dec 15th.

Well, my wife is really enjoying her phone... May pick up a white one for 299 with the code...I think that it's a great value at that price...

Oh, great idea, the white one is a nice idea... lol

Still waiting on them to release the gray and green version. Already have the phone so I am waiting for the dock and or smart home hub. It's nice that they at least gave us early adopters a bone. But without new accessories it really is a waste for us. They have dropped the ball before, so hoping they don't do it again. :/ They have allot of potential I just hope they get there. Also hopefully the lower price leads to more developers jumping in on the device and helping to get the developer section in this community going.

Oh, to have one of those codes. Id then go out on a limb and buy one of these great looking phones.
So tempted, but just not enough at $500.

bought off ebay
I literally bought and paid for a phone off ebay saturday night. the seller shipped it and said he would not work on price.
I want to be able to get a coupon but i'm afraid that "someone" will have already claimed it or essential will not honor it.... If anyone is in same situation, please let me know if you were able to get the coupon.
Thanks!

I did not. the seller had the phone until this morning. i asked for the IMEI and he said i would get it when it comes in the mail. so basically can't make the request until i get the imei. i have sneaky suspicion that he may have claimed.... he knew all about the promotion when i sent him a message.

I am just going to get another phone.
I don't think I'm going to bother with the charging pad if they release it in time seeing I keep the phone in a case anyway.

Sent out the info for my credit to Essential, and called Best Buy this morning and got them to price match the new price since I was within my return window (the credit has already shown up on my card).
So I got $200 back from Best Buy and will get $200 credit from Essential. Sweet.

How did you get them to do that? I haven't bought one, but if I can get them to knock another $200 off the 499, that'd be dope!

its been a while but yes. It can be done with a mail forwarding service if you live outside of the delivery area. I did it with the P30 pro. Then found out that amazon.de or amazon.es would deliver the the US. Also clove.uk delivers to the US. I guess it just depends on your level of patience and where you live. IMO i would try to hold out for Amazon since they have the easiest return policy for me. I went through the green screen thing with the Mate 20 pro.

They are also available on jd.com
Still the 4G model
