Otterbox has finally released the T-MO cases after months of waiting.
I have also found an awesome coupon code to use at otterbox.com
Code:
tb810z
This code nets you 10% off and free FedEx shipping!
Enjoy!
I just ordered mine
I ordered mine the other day when I read about it in one of the other 2 Otterbox threads in this forum. Even had the same code and everything. You didn't even have to search for it before you posted this thread. It's still on the first page.
Ordered mine the other day as well. I'm curious though, i got an invoice from them telling the details of my purchase, but, I have yet to receive shipping info, nor has the money come out of my bank account. Essentially i bought the case, they said thanks for buying, and haven't heard anything since....
edit: damnit, meant to post this in the other thread.. that i already posted in

Is your phone T-MOUS? I ordered one on ebay the other day and it said on the package "fits T-Mobile Version" but when I went to install it, nope. Not at all. The seller on ebay then was no help, he just said "contact Otter" after I sent him a page long letter. I did contact Otter and now waiting on a response. A week has gone by... Not looking good.
should be getting my otterbox commuter tomarrow ill post a review

I ordered a Commuter today from Otterbox. Found one on Amazon that says it's the US version for way less, but decided to get it from the people who made it. I can see people trying to pass their international version off to move it cheap because those aren't in high demand, then telling people to contact Otter.
Otter Box isn't going to do anything. It's the seller's responsibility. Get online and figure out the measurements of the international one and measure yours... If it's the same then he probably shipped you the wrong thing. If you paid with paypal and the dude won't do anything about it, I would get a refund through PP.
What did the packaging say? Did it specify US on the packaging?
Bought one on ebay that says TMOUS and authorized reseller. We'll see.
My best offer of $40 got autoaccepted.
For those of you with a defender series but not sure if its the euro version or us, I have found way to tell for certain which it is. On the flap that covers the charge port and headset jack, there is an imprint that states which it is. Mine says US Version on the underside of it.

The hard shell also says it on both pieces.
that is funny because I have the US version on my t-mo, and my bro has the euro version on his and the case is practically identical in every way.
Thanks for the code, the 10% worked great!
I just ordered my defender case on amazon for 33.65 with free shipping. It states that its the U.S. version. I will find out monday when i receive it.
Definitely worth it. It does state us version on the flap that covers the charging port.
Anyone know if there's one for sale?
I've looked on various sites and the cheapest i found was £20, which i'm NOT paying for a USB cable
The cable that came with my phone broke VERY easily and now i'm left with a dead streak and no way to charge it!
The fact that Dell is charging £25 for a cable is just disgusting
Cheers guys.
Not yet, but some day when other manufacturers see sense and use pdmi connectors.

Can't you just return it under warranty?
Isn't the warranty only 30 days?
Yea, I'm dying to get another usb cable or two so I don't have to carry mine around everywhere I go... I was hoping, since they're selling the streak at best buy, soon I'll be able to get one there...???

As the OP is in the UK (or at least quoted prices in Sterling), they would be covered under the Sale of Goods Act 1979 for at least 12 months (and possibly as long as 6 years, given the cost of the cable).
It doesn't help the data connectivity but, you could get a desktop battery charger from eBay, I've just seen one there for £3.99 I just searched eBay for "Dell Streak Battery" and it came up in the results.
HTH.

I've had to get a friend in the USA to get me a car cradle kit from DELL USA and send it to me in Australia. Just got of the phone to OPTUS and Chat with DELL AUST and neither intends on selling accessories for the Streak in Australia.
What a shame

39 euro.. these are expensive cable for a piece of plastic..
I really am surprised that there isn't any 3rd party cables about. I have searched & only find dell's cables that cost a bomb
streak accessories now available from Dell
I just found this while searching the web for Dell Streak Accessories. This was not previously available.

The entire page itself...
All of the items could be found on the net in various locations, and for varied prices, but never saw a Dell/US page for it. One guy on ebay is selling all of this stuff out of his online store for $30 - $40 more expensive than Dell. For months I was looking for a second charging cable and $40-ish was too spensive for me. Now that Dell finally has this page up, $19.99 is not too bad a price.
20 dollers for what should cost 5 bucks resonable come on lol

The exact same cable on Dell's UK page costs £24.22, which according to xe.com converts to US$38.21, so be happy that you can get it for 20 bucks!!

Supply and demand my brothers, I suppose there hasn't been enough streak activity out there as yet to warrant the entrepreneurs in China to make a 10 dollar cable and then a 5 dollar one and then a.... well you get the point. Dell is enjoying this fan fare right now since no other device uses this PDMI connection, well that I know of at least. I bought the $30 set with the extra plug since the usb only works with computers or Dells charger. what a rip off.
Mobilefun were quite bad too!
When official Dell website were selling the car kit for £35, they had it for £61.99!!!
They have updated now to sell it for £39.95 - supposedly saving 36% - Hah!
(Although I am happy with the Dash Genie I bought from them, although it should not be as much as £17.50)
I still don't get why we've not seen the cheaper accessories appear yet for the streak. I had to buy USB N adapter from eBay, not bad for £25.. but I've noticed on my original one that I've had since June not looking so great at the bit where the cable joins the connector. Mind you in all fairness I do charge it quite a lot as I'm always doing something on the phone.

***UPDATED in post #40 & #58.....THEY WORK!!!***
Have to wait until the CNY (Chinese New Year) is over to get it in, but after sending an OEM cable & spec'ing the cable with one of my contract manufacturers in China..we should finally have an economical solution Especially for those of you outside of the US (since it seems you pay more).
The finished cable (30pin PDMI to USB) sample should be sent to me on the 14th of Feb, and will take a few days to get here (US). Once it does, and is tested to work...I will be placing a large qty order. They also have compatible car charger adaptors, but not sure I want to pick those up as well. Have to wait and see how well the cables are received by the community.
I'll update the thread when I get the sample in.
Hope they work! If they do you can count on me to order at least 2, you can never have too many cables!
count me in also,
Sounds great. Any idea of price at this point?
Swyped using XDA App
It would be nice to have an AV dock that also will compete with the official Dell's than getting a Slacker G2 that isn't made for the Streak
+1 If the price is right and they work, I'm interested.
Thanks for the post!
I'd be interested as well.
Tag me in for 4 of them
very cool.. I sucked it up and ordered an extra cable, car dock, and slacker dock.. but I might consider getting an spare in case I lose one or the one in my car finally breaks..
i would definitely buy 2 if price is right and it works
+ 1 ill be in for a few for sure
I'll definitely take one if the quality is good.

+1 for sure!

PS- Make an PDMI to Apple iPod adapter and you'll do well. That way I can pop my Streak on an iPod desktop speaker without mucking about.

thats a great Idea..with all the those 3rd party Icrap accessories available , we can take advantage of it if there is a PDMI to Ipod/Iphone adapter.
I will get 2 when available.

Sigh...
Feb. 14th is the date Dell just emailed me to tell me is now my new "adjusted" shipping date for the order I placed on January freaking 24th for $43.38 for 2 cables! I've NEVER in my life had to wait this long for something to ship, especially for freaking cables! They should have millions in stock! Anyway...
I'll prolly buy 1 or 2 of these cables if they're good.
Will these be longer than the 6 inch long (or should that be short?) cables Dell provides? Too short to plug into my USB port on my PC, too short to charge in my car while talking. Poor design, poor design... Dell really fell short on this phone and its accessories and advertising. I LOVE the phone, but come on...
I'd be in for an order of at least 2 also!
I also love the suggestion of a PDMI -> iPod/iPhone connector/bridge.
Ideally it could stretch across the whole bottom of the streak (or at least the width of an iPod/iPhone) the so that the streak would sit flush with any idocks.
This Really Bugs me!!! Can't find ANY Dell Streak 5 Accessories locally!!!
I've tried to find a leather case, faceplate of any kind, Touch-Screen Stylus at:
4 Best Buys
4 Malls
10 AT&T dealers/Stores
in the Seattle / Tacoma area and not one of them have anything for the Dell Streak 5! Not one!
None of the stores had a good explanation... just a lot of excuses.
The guy who sold me the Streak basically lied to me saying, "sure they will have some accessories within a week." He also said that Foyo 2.2 was coming any day. That was a month ago. He just wanted to make a sale.
What's up with all that???
Now I'm forced to buy online...
never go to worst buy

Hate to tell u that accessories are difficult to find in stores.
I basically got most of mine online. Even then the best companies dont have it.
Froyo is out for most of the dell versions.
If u have not flashed one from the forum yet

I did get get Froyo 2.2 installed last week. Really improved the phone.
What I meant about this in my first post was the Dealer lied about Dell having it available as an update within a week. He knew that wasn't true. Just like saying they would have accessories within a week too. Just trying to make a sale.
As for no one locally carrying accessories, that's really too bad as the Streak is a fabulous phone. I gave up a iPhone3, Captivate for this and really like it. However, look at all the local stuff you can get for the iPhone in all the stores! One of the stores I went to said it was Dell fault as they restricted the sales of accessories so that you were forced to order from them. If so, that is really STUPID and greedy!!!
Dell did make some mistakes with phones.
One being the PDMI port. Its actually such a great thing , however its still very new.
Many developers have not incorporated it into their products.
Also dell has marketed this phone terribly. Even ATT does not know they have this under them.
I just bought this thing off Ebay and didn't do my homework because some people have bought other wireless chargers that were cheap like this one. I'm going to go to Best Buy and will pick up the original one to compare to the one that is coming. The one off ebay is $39.99 while the one's on BB is $69.99. Sounds too good to be true. I already contacted the seller and told them that I WILL KNOW if it's fake. I'll post my findings here so no one gets screwed like probably I did. I'm going to return it (almost certain).
Sounds too good to be true, so.....
Keep us posted.

I saw a video on YouTube where someone waswas explaining tdifferences between a fake wireless charger and an original wireless charger. There were somesome subtle differences and you could only tell by having the original and fake one side by side. I think that someone mentioned that the fake one would only do a "wireless charging", while the original one would say "fast charging", when you would put the phone (S7 edge) on the charger. Also there are power bricks that are fake too. Honestly, I would only buy these charges from BB and maybe B&H. Not even AMZN, because there have been fake ones in there too. I'll pick up the original one probablyprobably today from BB. The one from Ebay is coming tomorrow, but I'm not holding my breath.
OK, so I just picked up the original wireless charger pad for $75 at the local BB. Now I have to wait for the one coming from eBay. I also bought a car charger that is supposed to be from Samsung too, but BB doesn't carry that one. I'm also weary about the car charger. It sucks to have to deal with this, but it is what it is.
Update: just tested the car charger bought from Ebay (hopefully original Samsung charger). My phone does say "fast charging", so I'm thinking that is a good sign.
I've just recently taken delivery of four of these (black) sold and shipped by Amazon.com LLC for $36.34 a piece.
They are quite genuine. Not sure why anyone would want to risk eBay when those are available.

Some of the stuff I buy from eBay ends up coming from Amazon. But anyways, after carefully looking at the one that came from BB and the one that came from Ebay, the Ebay one seems original, but it almost looks used (the BB one looks more glossy, if that makes sense). Also the chargers look slightly different. The Ebay one has a V in the back, while the BB one has a VI. Also, the packaging is different too, so I'll probably be returning both and buying one from AMZN like it was mentioned above. Even at AMZN you have to be careful because some sellers do slip fake chargers in there too. So bottom line, don't get this from Ebay.

Precisely why I referenced Amazon.com LLC as the seller. Maybe others have had an experience dissimilar to mine, but I've never received a fake product from them - and even if it were to happen, has anyone ever had them deny a legitimate return?
With Red Weasel Sales (TM) you take your chances. Maybe you'll win, maybe you'll get burned.
If you find out it's real, and there's more, please post up links. Nobody wants to pay full price lol.
