Bought an original Ipad! - Off-topic

So I decided to grab an original iPad. Found one on craigslist for $225 and it was still sealed in the plastic wrapping. So if anyone is interested look at your local Craiglist.
Still wondering if I will keep it. But I figure having a htc evo and a iPad might be nice.

Where can I get stock myTouch housing/keypad?

My son decided to color his and I am going to sell it. I need to replace these.
Link to a site that sells them?
Also interested in finding out. Closest thing I've found is a listing on ebay for 30 bucks... are all mytouch3g 32B? so far all i've found are magic housings and they dont fit.

Heard of Ebay?
Tho the Black housing with the grey/silver midsection I must say are more difficult to find.
Contact the seller before purchasing. Make sure it is the correct housing for what you need. 3.5mm headphone jack or not. It's not shown in picture and I've no idea what myTouch model you have. Only the red and fender edition seem to have the myTouch logo on the back cover tho..........
There are many mor listings but I only noticed this particular seller at a quick glance selling a black housing with the grey/silver midsection rather then the red midsection.

Luckily, I've 2 Magics and not myTouchs, so it's far easier to find housings. I've 2 of every available color.
I like to match.
I don't use no fancy cases. I like my phones bare. Just use the hTC sleeve.
I was actually looking today and they are not at all hard to find. If you CANNOT find one on eBay (which you can - I've was JUST looking at them maybe an hour ago) here:

That's where I get just about everything else. A little pricey, but convenient none-the-less.

Replacing cover before selling? Where to get?

Hey guys,
I'm selling my D Inc. It's in pretty good shape, but the back cover is cracked.
I've been looking on eBay but I see them starting at > $10. I think this is just a little steep, ya know?
Do you guys know where I can get a HTC looking one; or just something that would work. I'm likely to sell it via Craigslist.
The only other thing that's wrong with it, is that the red bit where you put your ear up to has faded a little. But, I guess this is the thing with selling used phones.. hehe.
Hoping to get as much as I can for it on eBay or the likes.
They've got battery covers for the Dinc on amazon for 2.99. You can also try calling your local verizon stores. They might have some left on clearance. I bought mine from the big red store for 2.99
Found this one on Amazon, here ya go: http://www.amazon.com/HTC-Droid-Inc...YMB4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1319912226&sr=8-1

[Q] Best Case for HD2

Can anyone tell me what the best case would be for my HD2, besides an otterbox?
I have the US version of the phone which is longer than the European..
And I have searched everywhere, and I am pretty sure that I read that they stopped making otterboxes for these because everywhere is sold out (I can't even find any on Ebay or Amazon!).
I had my phone for a week and it fell out of my pocket onto my driveway and the screen cracked like a spider web.. So now I have to spend about $150 to get the screen replaced, and I am not willing to do so unless I can get a secure case for it..
Any suggestions?

This should probably be in the 'HD2 Accessories' section, you'll get more info there I guess. I personally use the leather HTC pouch which came free with my phone, and it works extremely well! I've had the phone for a year and not a single scratch on it even though it's constantly in contact with my keys and stuff.
Piel Frama (http://www.pielframa.com/htc-touch-hd-2-imagnum-tan-cases.htm)
I think it's the best!
Sorry, I didn't realize that there was a forum for HD2 accessories...
But those leather cases are more like pouches, right? As in, you still have to pull the phone out to use it, and its more of just a carrying case?
I am looking for something like an OtterBox, with maximum protection and is always on the phone

Oh right, yeah they are but I personally don't find it much trouble. I think there may be one which is more like the otterbox one as well (by HTC) so try it, the leather gives a nice high quality feeling
The Otterbox Defender is a good case, as long as you don't need to get the phone in and out of the case.
It is two pieces, a silicone rubber case, then a hard plastic shell. If you need to change the battery or reboot the phone by pulling the battery, there is a good chance the plastic shell will split or break.
I've been through two of those cases. The first one Otterbox customer service (very nice FWIW) sent me a new one under warranty. After the second one cracked I just didn't bother. Even cracked it protects the phone pretty well.
There just aren't that many cases for the HD2 since every other day HTC comes out with a new phone.

Found the one I meant, it's here and it seems alright, although I've never used it before.
What about one of these?

I prefer to take the phone out for use. I've had the HD2 since release and always go back to the original case as supplied with the HD2:

Haha yeah, see my problem is that I will take it out, but never put it back in...

I have a otterbox defender for tmo US HD2 in like-new condition I rarely use & would be open to selling or trading for the right offer. i didn't realize how rare these are now... I've checked ebay several times over the last couple months trying to see what they sell for, but i haven't seen a single one up there!
Id love to trade for a 64gb sandisk microsdxc if anyone would be willing... Id ofcourse put in something else or cash on top of the case to make it fair. any interest, pm me an offer.

I've come across them on ebay every once in awhile but your right, they can be very hard to find even on other websites as well. And then most of the times when you do find them its for the international model which i believe wont fit the US version. I've had some luck with other ebay countries that ship to the US but thats really hit and miss.
A new 64gb sandisk microsdxc will set you back around $95-$135 and a new otterbox would cost around $40-$50 and thats if you can even find it which would be difficult to say the less. I read some reviews of people who didn't like theirs but most seem quite happy with it. Considering that they are hard to find his offer isn't really to high priced especially considering he offered to add money towards the trade. About two months ago I seen a used one go for like $40 on ebay if i remember correctly but then again one sold for only $13 w/ free shipping a couple weeks ago. You can see that here. Worth way more then $13 though, who ever got a steal on that.
Considering our phone has Cornings Gorilla Glass I think there is really no need to go all out. Get a nice full body screen protector such as clear-coat found here and put it in a fairly nice...but not break your bank account nice case. Something around $10 should do. Clear-coat normally has sales/coupons going on so if you do go that route try to look one up. I've had mine in a cheap $5 case since i bought it just after they came out and have even dropped it a few times, luckily my phone still looks like its in mint condition.
Yeah, I didn't mean that I'd only trade it for a 64gb microSD... if anyone wants to make any offer, I'd consider it. I already have a Noreve leather case that I use for my HD2, and I've rarely used the otterbox case, so I figure there's no reason for me to hang on to it.

I have this one and its probably one of the nicer cases I've used.
35-60 bucks go to fortte.com they have good ones. And they customize it if u input directions. Like they'll add straps and stuff.

[Q] Nexus One housings on eBay?

Hi guys,
Just got my hands on a quite used N1 from my friend, and is thinking of replacing the full housing.
After looking at pictures on eBay and subsequently asking the sellers, I found that many of the housings on sale are fully plastic. I aware that the front frame of the N1 is metal, so I would like to ask you guys if you know anywhere (eBay or elsewhere) that sells the metal housing for a reasonable price?
Cheers

I saw a set of housings for sale on Amazon. You might wanna check it out
Sent from my Nexus One
Thanks! But the one that appears at the top of the list shares the exact same photo as the one I inquired on eBay, which the seller said its made of "plastic-like synthetic material" the real metal ones that I found are either refurbished or carries an exorbital price (USD40+ for the front frame alone).

I have a at&t nexus one that I was going to sell body is in good shape ill do 60 shipped has desktop dock? Let meknow
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
That's a really good deal, I paid around $110 for a beat up one with dock, but that was 7+ months ago with 2 batteries, all accessories and box, still working perfect and its working great to this day. I'd like to get a replacement housing to paint flat black but I'm scared to take it apart.
Thanks for the offer, I really wants to get it, but I live a bit too far away, in New Zealand which might be hard for you to ship to. Guess I'll have to live with cheap plastic knockoffs...

Why no 3rd party book covers?

I just picked up a Nexus 10, and wanted to get a tri-fold book cover for it. But to my surprise, they don't exist.
In fact, I cant find any book covers for this device besides the official one:
https://play.google.com/store/devices/details?id=nexus_10_cover_gray&hl=en
Why have no 3rd party case makers taken advantage of the removal back, and made more book covers for this device?
Sadly, because this tablet has not been a sales-breaker. In fact, there are rumours that say that Google will not keep the full size format in next gen.
Apart from the official one, you can check this page, where you can see some options, and then search them on amazon/ebay:

eBay!!
Hiya,
I just bought my nexus 10 and while waiting for delivery I went on eBay to get a book cover..
Quite a few from U.S. suppliers, Quality makes, delivery makes it a tad expensive for us down under,
Several from the U.K. quite cheap, and the usual offerings from Hong Kong and Mainland China.
I bought from the U.K. cause mail from China takes wayyyy to long and things get lost...
( an sometimes thing's arrive safely and reasonably within time.) But you never know..
So hop on EBay if its available to you, or Amazon probably have them to.
Kogan's also have nice book covers for N10, $25...
Go check them out...
Love in my N10, my old TF201 just had to be replaced...get on it
I like this one:
http://amzn.com/B00A9G985S
The 3rd party ones are bulky and heavy. I think I might bite the bullet and get the official one even though I can only find it in red and it doesn't double as a stand :/
I bought this a year ago and absolutely love it. Unfortunately I waited about 3 weeks for it to be shipped and haven't seen them for sale lately. If you can find one I highly recommend it. http://www.ebay.com/itm/YOOBAO-Slim...-Cover-Case-For-Google-Nexus-10-/261178402054

How heavy is it?
Less than 1 lb I would guess. I just took it off and it barely weighs anything.

This is the one I picked up. Also come in a number of colors and designs but very thin and functions just like the google branded one without the lack of back protection

I got bored of waiting and picked official one. All this poetic/moko/yoobao seems to be the same crap for me, only 3 models: the trifold one, the tristand and the one with a holster.
