I think you can buy it from official Samsung site, Bestbuy, eBay or Amazon

The Samsung US site won't ship to Canada, nor is it available on BB's website. EBay may be an option. It looks like 3 are available on amazon now. They previously were not in stock.

Thanks.
I just found an eBay seller who has them on for $45US. I hit the "make an offer" and offered $39 for one and they accepted. They are new in box, according to seller. It says he has 11 left.

Anyone know if the part that holds the nexus s (the plastic "cover") is removable from the car dock? I much prefer my IQ Solutions dash mount, but would love to have something like that piece to hold my phone.

The holder detaches from the arm.

wouldnt it be better to get a generic holder like the exogear one? I mean, most nexus s owners replace phone once a year, does everybody also replace all the accesories? what is special about the official samsung holder other than the made to order snug fit? just curious.

Yeah, I replace the accessories yearly as well. Normally its just a car dock though.
The OEM docks just fit so much better. The nexus one stock was nice for the built in speaker phone and auto activation of car mode....but with nfc that is really not necessary anymore.

[Q] Ordering a new S-pen

I think I've misplaced my S-Pen.
Is it possible to order a new one?

ebay is your friend

Samsung doesn't sell S-Pens?

I looked at getting just the S Pen since the top came off mine and is now loose. I could only find the replacement that comes with the proper pen body. It's about £23. I've not seen Samsung selling just the S Pen on it's own (not in the UK anyway). I'd be interested to find out if they are available tho.

I found replacement S pens at the Samsung store here in india...

I lost my s pen last week, i've called samsung asking for it, they called me back ten minutes later telling me that they booked one for me and i need to collect it from their service center 2km from my office in Dubai, it costs 90 Dirhams (25$).

Thanks everyone. I sent a mail to the Samsung dealer here. Will order from ebay if it fails.

Does anyone know where to get fake ones or really cheap ones? I can't justify spending $25 on a piece of plastic if you know what I mean. Btw I saw a few spens at best buy if u r in the us. But like I said, those are $20-$25.

Did you see this thread?

The s-pen isn't just a piece of plastic, unfortunately, and that's why it is so expensive. Therefore I think you won't see any real cheap ones very soon.

OEM Samsung Nexus S battery (in Canada)?

Hey,
Trying to find a genuine, NEW Samsung battery to give new life to my used Nexus S. Any one have any ideas? It seems like all the ones I find are either used, or probably not real...

I'm looking for this too...

I've been searching for one too, in Canada.

Did you try asking Samsung? I have been on the same mission to get a genuine battery, I emailed their customer support asking about buying a genuine battery in the UK and they responded within 12 hours:
In regards to your enquiry, all our official accessories and spare parts can be bought from the following sites:
www dot samsungdirect dot com/uk
www dot 4mysamsung dot co dot uk/
If they don't have the parts you require, you can contact them directly to enquire.

4mysamsung dot co dot uk has what appears to be a compatible Nexus S battery (GH43-03359B) and ships globally (shipping to Canada is £8). If you ask there might well be a Canada
(I also saw www dot exportprive dot com recommended on here for genuine Samsung batteries, apparently they export from Korea so it may be a good option)
(Sorry for the URL mangling, xda-developers won't allow me to post full URLs)

I got one on Amazon, from Samsung. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0026LQL40/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
I also got an extended battery too, but I lost NFC with it. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005D7T7EK/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00

I ended up ordering from DX.com - got a battery and a charger. Only planning to use it as "backup", so I don't care if it's as good as the real deal.

No - it's not OEM - http://dx.com/p/usb-ac-battery-char...r-samsung-i9020-google-nexus-s-100-240v-57063

Would this battery work? (need to know, ASAP.)
Or, This?

I think the second one would?

K, thanks.

pls someone in the uk must have bought the black version , I need to contact very in the morning and I need to know whether it comes in a retail box ?? .... I am concerned ive been sold either a customer return or refurbished camera
The camera looks new and has upgraded to 4.1.2 and is BTU as my galaxy note 2 is however im worried why it hasn't come in a retail box and secondly im concerned when I come to sell the camera it wont sell for as much without the original box
Will Samsung if I give them the serial be able to help me tell if its new / refurbished or second hand
Thanks

All their kit should come in a retail box, sealed.

just what I thought, very advise that if a retail box is damaged they will supply in a brown paper box which is not good enough
ive spoken to Samsung who advise me to return the item which im going to do
fuming .com

Hmmmm, at the very least include the box in the package, with a note, stating we think it's just superficial damage but if you find a fault send it back.

my thoughts exactly !
I had several stories from very saying 1. if it is a damaged box we replace the box to 2. this is the way Samsung supply them !
funny cos Samsung say nope they come in a retail box
They then tried the oh you cant return cos you turned it on .. erm distance selling regs I took care and only looked at the item to make sure it was ok (before deciding it wasn't suitable therefore returned back as new) also I needed to get the serial for Samsung before they would speak to me and couldn't see it on the camera cos it was tiny
After some discussions, pictures took of the said item for evidence and returned back to very for a full refund
off to john lewis tomorrow to get a proper boxed camera
Sammy even replied back to me on facebook advising to return it back to very
very naughty if you ask me !

Just picked my camera up from John Lewis oh guess what is in q Samsung box . Think my very account is going to be closed

I heard that you get an extra year's warranty with electronics bought from John Lewis too.

Alas not on the samsung camera (which is unusual as they do fantastic warranties) but I bought 3yr warranty for £47

Really? Wonder why, I only heard about their good warranty service because of a bloke across the road has just bought a Nexus 7, he was gonna get it direct from Google but, because it was the same price from JL, he got from there simply because of the extra warranty they throw in.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2

I always buy from matter what as they run Rings round anyone else.
The girl I spoke to today wasnt sure why it didn't have 2yr but the other question is why has sammy only given 12 months all their other products have 2yrs
I thought £47 for 3 years peace of mind through john lewis is reasonable though

S Pen

I recently lost my spen and was curious if anyone can tell me the cheapest way to get one. Thanks

If you haven't registered your device with Samsung, you can do that on their website & they will email you a 50% off code which can be used to buy a new s-pen for 1/2 off.
Or, you can check on ebay. Sometimes they go for around 8-12 bucks....sometimes.

I bought two last week on ebay for USD19.95.
