Can I just overpay for one at tmobile so i dont break my damn phone before the stupid cases i ordered ship? the ones i picked (poetic) arent showing shipping for another 2 weeks so i want to buy something now to hold me over.
I know you can get one on ebay for ~$125 if your super desperate or you can buy another companies one for super cheap until it comes in

I haven't seen any reports of any TMo stores carrying accessories. However, your mileage may vary depending on location.
My store couldn't even do a simple sim swap right let alone figure out if there were any plans to carry the bumper.
I find myself around 3 different company owned T-mobile stores daily. 1 by my apartment, 1 by the subway on the way to work, and another down the block from my job. Combined, each one gives a good representation of what T-mobile is offering in general... Meaning that none of the 3 have the same total inventory, and they all have more to offer then the others. Depends on your phone I would guess. For example, I won't stereotype but the T-mobile by my apartment has a TON of stuff for the Samsung Galaxy line, while the others have either more HTC, LG, and oddly enough a lot of Nokia. Like I didn't even know there were that many Nokia accessories available...
My point is, I've asked every day in a combination of the 3 stores if they have covers or cases yet for the N4. Each store either pulled something out of their ass, or were at least straight with me by saying no, and they don't know when. This is as of today.
What I ended up doing on Wednesday was heading to the AT&T right next door to my job to pick up a LG Optimus G bumper case. Obviously not perfect, but strangely enough very ideal. It actually made me want to get the Google bumper case because it frames the phone well while showing it off. Unfortunately though, it was designed for the Optimus G. It really "squares" off the phone a lot, to the point where it looks like you actually have an OG in there. If you can deal with the bulk till something more ideal comes along, I recommend it.... Here's the rub though. On Friday, I received the thin TPU case that I had ordered from eBay. It's definitely worth the $3 I paid for it, but I'm still holding out for either a 3DO or a bumper case. I'll keep asking, and I'll update this post if/when I find that T-mobile has cases in the stores.

Has anyone tried the Tech21 Impact Slip case for S3 with a Nexus4? The dimensions are not too different, so i'm playing with an idea to order one, but it is quite pricey and i'm a bit reluctant to order...
call your local store
called my local tmobile store, they just got cases today for n4. $30 Bucks, amazing case, perfect fit, there are covers on power/vol but they are impressive, easier to press than without the case.
best yet its not bulky at all.
case is a body glove, white. here's the s3 version of the same case: as it's not even listed on their website yet.
Dual layer protection
Gel, impact resistant interior
Hard shell exterior to defend against bumps, scratches, and more
Comfortable side grips for extra cushioning
Howdy OPO owners,
How the reliability of this phone? Aside accidental breakage, how many of you have had problems?
I am in the US, so if I have an problem do I have to CALL China? or SHIP to China? Is the customer service/tech support available US hours?
They're in China so if something goes wrong the phone goes back to China. You can't call them, their support is via email.
Don't bother asking how many have problems because you're gonna get crazy responses like these:
1. All these phones are faulty, anyone who says otherwise is lying.
2. All these phones are perfect.
The reality is nobody knows how many of these devices are faulty, and anybody who claims to know such a thing is lying. Some are faulty, just like any other electronic device. The reliability of the device seems fine to me, I own two of them and have no problems.

thanks. How long have you had both your phones?
Are there decent cases/screen protectors available? I read that the screen glass projects a little bit around the edge. (I don't know if that's like all other smartphones.)

I've had them for six months. The Nillkin 9H tempered glass screen protector is fantastic, it doesn't protrude or project at all. The Diztronic TPU case is awesome. Both are very cheap.
So my phone is going to be here with tomorrow along with the Adopted Protective Case for Nexus 6P (Carbon). I am wondering why there aren't many name brand manufactures with cases; such as otterbox or incipio, out for the nexus 6p? my best guess is that Huawei is new to the US markets to the case makers that dominate the US markets were not given the dimensions of the phone or whatever else they might have needed in order to make a case for a device. Yet It also occurs to me that Google, would have seen to the dimensions being distributed.
My primary concern is really screen protectors. I am really disappointed that Invisible Shield, a company whom I have trusted to protect my phones for the past 6 or so years didn't have a screen protector available for the device. They are usually ahead of the game and release screen protectors before the phone comes out.
So whats the deal here? Who dropped the ball?

I feel the same as you!
The cases will come in due time. The Nexus line doesn't sell nearly as many units as let's say the S6, Note 5 etc... so with that being said case manufacturers have less incentive to make something if its a low volume. Companies make money from selling large quantities usually since R&D costs money which is basic business. Otterbox makes ugly cases, and Incipio is questionable so I don't care about either one even though they were just examples. Some big names are making cases (Spigen, Speck, Adopted (usually only makes iphone/samsung cases), SUPCase etc..) I don't see any issues with the current selection

As Pilz states, the Nexus devices aren't as mainstream as other devices. So mainstream companies like Invisible Shield don't see as much of a gain from producing a product for our devices. Also, you have to take into consideration that the full hardware specs weren't fully released, resulting in a LOT of last minute revisions to cases and screen protectors (e.g. - blocked sensors).
Luckily, XDA has a nice community where we can create threads to give our input on specific accessories. In your case, I'd recommend going through the thread on Tempered Glass Screen Protectors to help you make your choice. I ended up going with IntelliGLASS since they were/are having a BOGO on their product with a coupon code.
Anyways, the phone is barely reaching consumer's hands right now. So as the month progresses, I'm sure we'll see much more options for accessories!

I totally agree. I remember being able to get the Zagg for my N5 almost right away. They have the cutting machine at the Zagg kiosk at my local mall, and they don't even have the template yet, so it doesn't seem to be a production issue.

Most of the top tier case makers tend to be Apple and Samsung only with a few other selected models. It's based on expected sales volume. And Apple and Samsung are number 1 and 2 in worldwide sales and have even bigger sales leads in the U.S. I've been using Otterbox Defenders since I carried a blackberry eons ago. Doesn't look like I'll get one for the 6P.
The sales volume of the Nexus 6P (and even the 5x) has taken most by surprise. Nexus devices had always been good, but somewhat quirky in the past. Not so with the new models. And they are priced to sell too.
As to timing, I agree the manufacturers should be making form fit dimension packages available a lot sooner. But the problem now for a company like Otterbox is that now that they are going to be late to market, does it make sense to make something have already lost a lot of the early sales they would have garnered had they been to market on time?
That won't be in stock ( the correct version ) until after the 9th...
"Hello and thank you for your recent Nexus 6P intelliGLASS HD order!
We here at intelliARMOR appear to have been using incorrect manufacturer specifications when producing our initial round of intelliGLASS for the 6P, and missed the mark with respect to cutouts for the proximity sensor and accommodation for various cases.
To remedy this, we have adjusted our design to be case friendly and accommodate the correct location of the proximity sensor (important for real glass). By the time you read this, the updated version will already be in production and we are on schedule to have these ready to ship out of our U.S. warehouse by November 9th. Any one who preordered intelliGLASS will receive the updated version (albeit with a slight delay). If you already received the initial version, we will setup a replacement for you completely free of charge.

Explains why it has not shipped yet
I recently bought two of these assuming them to be the genuine Sony ones. The page claims they are and they even arrived in boxes that looked right.
They are Chinese fakes though. There are a few tell-tell signs like blurry box text and poor fitment.
Honestly, I wouldn't really mind if they actually did the job properly but they don't. Having now bought an official one from the Sony store (at double the price, sadly) the differences are notable. It's just a much better quality thing.
The fakes are much lighter plastic which doesn't feel solid when the phone is in it. The fit is too tight for the Z5 and would definitely scratch it after a few times slotting it in and out. The USB plug is poorly aligned so the phone doesn't lock on very easily. The rubber bottom designed to prevent slip is glued on so weakly that taking off the protective plastic pulls the rubber off!
There seem to be a few sellers on Amazon purporting to sell official Sony ones but, from what I can tell, they are all fakes. The clue is that they are selling them for less than half the price that Sony is.
If you want to take a chance on them, that's fine, but you should know what you're getting and it's NOT an official Sony product.
Hmm I'm a bit concerned now I'll ask my missus where she got mine from as the only bad I noticed was taking the protective of the non slip foam

I guess you were buying from the Marketplace and the seller is not directly Amazon. The advantage of Amazon is that you can easily return such products and you get your money back. It's impossible for Amazon to determine if sellers do ship the product they advertise. Maybe you need to look for one with a reasonable price and not the very cheap ones.

No it was direct from Amazon. They refunded me immediately, no problems there, just trying to save anyone else the time and effort. Trouble is, I didn't know how much they were supposed to be, to know these were cheap. Amazon was the first place I looked and they obviously appear to be genuine Sony.
Oh... that is something rare I think and never happened to me. But thanks for sharing this... I know it's sometimes a pain to get original accessories at a reasonable price avoiding replicas.
would you mind telling us which seller or maybe provide a link? I was actually about to purchase one last week.
This is the one I bought: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-DK52-M...&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00
There are others which also look to be fakes too though, so be careful.
Compatibility question...
Is anyone using this stand with a TPU case on the phone?
I have this Ringke case (https://www.amazon.com/Ringke-Protector-Protection-Absorption-Technology/dp/B019773VE8/ref=sr_1_1?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1505221504&sr=1-1&keywords=B019773VE8)
Cheers!
Has anybody had any experience with them?...anybody recieved a free case in exchange for some social media reviews? I've been offered a free case.... They want to paypal me the money to order it from Amazon. I thought that was kinda strange... Why wouldn't they just send one? Too good to be true?

They're trying to tap-dance around the fact that they're expecting a Quid Pro Quo (a free case in exchange for a favorable review):
They're giving you money instead of the case,so they can technically say it's not,as you're buying it with your own money.
Yes,you're under no obligation to post a rating of any sort.
But,what they're buying from you is for the review to be listed as a "Verified Purchase",giving the appearance of an unsolicited/no-strings review.
If I were you,I'd report what they're doing to Amazon.
Show Amazon the correspondence you've received.
Yeah,you'll be out of a "free" case,but,JMHO,it's a small price to pay to help keep the reviews honest & legitimate.

Yeah that's a shady way of doing business man. If you really do make great products, let your product speak for itself but making it good quality.
Have it and ita good not bulky too
I actually own 3 of these cases. I was just doing research on maybe getting an S10 for my wife, and the first thing I checked was if ArmadiloTek was going to make a case or not. While looking up info, I realized I never left a review on Amazon. Obviously, if I bought 3 of them, I like them, but people don't get to see my purchase history, so they wouldn't know I'm a fan. I just uploaded this review on Amazon.
BTW - For the price, I think it's hard to beat. Also, if they offer a free case to someone hoping for a review, they are also taking the chance that someone who's not willing to spend $20 for a case is also the type to bash them online for silly things. Unless they are actually soliciting a "Positive" review, giving away a product and asking for a review is pretty normal. Especially for a new company. I've been to plenty of restaurants and bars that offer instant coupons if you go online and right a review, or they give you something free for filling out a survey.
************************** My Amazon Review **************************
Now I can write a real review after actually using this case, everyday, for more that 4 months. I bought 3 Note9's in September because they were so cheap. I also bought 3 different cases. All 3 cases had built-in screen protectors.
Immediately after getting the cases and comparing them, I ordered another ArmadiloTek case for my 11 year old son's Note9. That was the phone I was most concerned about having protected.
About 1 month later, I had to order another ArmadiloTek, because my mom wanted a stronger case and a kickstand.
In total, I've purchased 3 of these cases in different colors. They are awesome! I've dropped my phone a few times, and I'm sure my son has dropped his plenty. He rides his scooter w/ a Note9 hanging halfway out of his pocket. None of the phones or cases have any damage.
This is definitely my go to case from now on. Not as bulky as other rugged cases, better price, and they work amazing.
I hope they continue to grow, so they can offer more covers for other phones. My wife choose a S9 because she didn't want a large phone. Her case cracked the first time it fell and the case is all scratched up, because it's not an ArmadiloTek case.
I got one of these today and have a question for people who have one.
is the screen protector on yours TIGHT against your phone display cause mine isnt. when I tap the screen I can see and hear the plastic protector hit the screen.
Is this normal or do I have a defective one? (and yes, the peel offs are removed)

It's normal unfortunately. Any device that has a built in plastic screen protector will do that unless you find a way to have the device firmly and stiffly up against the front if the case. You can try filling behind the device with small flat sheets of paper cut out to match the device shape on the back. Adding a rear glass protector may help. Just not sure how much it would though.
