Verizon has an online deal at the moment where the Moto Insta-Share Projector is free when you purchase any Moto-Mod!
The cheapest Moto-Mod available that is in-stock is the Kate Spade Style Shell for $39.99. Plus shipping is FREE.
https://www.verizonwireless.com/accessories/moto-mods/
Notes:
* You do not need to have a Verizon phone to purchase accessories on the Verizon site.
* This CAN be combined with an employee discount if you currently get a discount on your Verizon bill through your employer, however you may need to add it to your cart BEFORE you log in, otherwise it may only show a 25% discount instead of the free projector offer. With my employee discount the case is only $29.99. Not all employee discounts include discounts on accessories.
Does that work for non US-citizen in another country?
Thanks for the heads up, ordered my z2 last night and was wanting the battery pack (have the tumi on my standard z). Might as well get the project along with it!
wonder if the projector ships with the mod you ordered or later.

It shipped together with my order.
When I add the case to the cart, the projector isn't shown. According to their site the promo is still going on. Any ideas?
Got the deal in a corporate store. The guy didn't seem too happy I bought a $39 case and got the projector free. Haha
This is a fresh thread as this issue was getting lost in the UK thread.
CPW Offered £375 trade in but if you had a note 8, they offered an additional £200 trading making it £575 (Math good huh?!).
This made the largest note 9 512mb an affordable £524. An attractive proposition to many. Myself included. I certainly would NOT have upgraded to the note 9 from the note 8 based on the lower offer as there is little differentiator between the 2 phones. This was clearly the best deal available pre order.
However many note 9 buyers who have returned their note 8 are not receiving £575 only to be offered £375, or for those who took a screen shot of the extra £200 being offered £530.
Not sure what CPW are playing at but this is an issue where I'm sure trading standards might be interested and of course the media if this isn't resolved swiftly. In my mind this is a break in contract and loses the faith of CPW customers.
Stories here please.

Just received £530 as predicted even though the trade in offered £375 plus £200. I have raised a complaint via the online email form. I was told that the screen shot I sent shows I was offered £375 and that my case will be raised with their Trade In team. I'll chase again today. Last phone I buy from the CPW group.
Managed to avoid this trouble but hoping my experience adds to the knowledge base:
I was quoted £575 total online trade in for my Note8. Bought the Note9 online, delivered to store and collected - no problems so far.
A few days later I received the pathetic jiffy bag to send the Note8 back in. Immediately got cold feet and made inquiries with CPW web chat and telephone contact center. Long story short was that to get the full £575 I had to post it back to them but a store manager may authorise the return through the store.
I went to store and followed the advice of the web chat team - ask for the trade in to be accepted in store. The store manager refused so I then said 'here, have this Note9 back as I want an immediate refund'. This was done in a few minutes and I walked away with my Note8 unmolested.
On Thursday 30th Aug I went to another CPW store and asked for a trade in against the 512gb Note9. They immediately offered £550 off the Note9 and would order one in. Received it next day and a happy outcome for me.
Hi - thanks for starting this thread as its useful to keep a track of issues with CPW!
I also pre-ordered with CPW and bought a sim free phone with them - i just spoke to their customer service team who told me that sim-free purchases are not eligible for the additional £200 trade in!! Has anyone experienced this too? Luckily i've screenshotted my trade in so will have to raise a formal complaint if they dont resolve but just wanted to make those on this forum aware that the customer service team arent quite sure of the facts.
On a separate note, have those that ordered sim-free got their wireless charger yet? I still havent got mine and they wont tell me if its been dispatched yet.
The customer service at CPW is awful and I wish i'd just bought through Samsung..... the only plus is that the phone is amazing (I just moved across from the iphone!) and wish i'd moved across sooner!

I have a screen shot that shows Sim free were also offered with the £200 additional trade in. PM with your email address if you would like the screen shot.
Hi all. I went into my local CPW in Burton on Trent yesterday and traded in my Note 8 and received £550.00. I paid £349.00 for the outright purchase of the Note 9 and walked out with it within 30 mins. My Note 8 had to be tested and reset

me too. Idiots.
Both my online and in store Note9 purchases with £200 extra trade in were on sim free.
Sad to say that you can see why high street retail chains are closing down. CPW and others just can't operate a digital and bricks and mortar businesses as a unified business model. All very sad.
Now they've said whatever the trade in team offer (? what like £575 as advertised!) the social media team will bring it up to value offered, so long as the phone was working there shouldn't be a problem. However its now Tuesday and I logged this on Saturday (sent the phone 8 days earlier)....
JAH You are right about firms failing. I wonder how this crew ever stay afloat sometimes.
My problem with CPW was I ordered my N9 upgrade on the phone and was told I could get an extra £200 on top of the £250 for my S8+. I clarified several times that I could take it to the store for the trade-in. I then was told it was only available for online or in store upgrades and not on the phone! So after complaining and having my telephone call listened to it was agreed I could take it to the store for £450.
Today I go to the store to be told my S8+ has screen burn and they will knock £120 off!! So I decided I'll try taking it to Samsung for an in warranty repair of the screen before going back to CPW!!
12 days (10 working days) into my phone being received by CPW and not a sniff of payment yet. Their website says payment will be made in 3 days of receipt. Appreciating they may have an influx taking longer, 12 days is taking the p....
They been informed of my displeasure this morning.
Still advertising the £200 extra deal. Anyone wants to check the terms click here:
https://www.carphonewarehouse.com/mobiles/trade-in.html
Bought mine in store in Doncaster. Fab service and no hassle at all. Got full value plus the extra £200 for my S8+ and even got to keep it until the Note 9 arrived. Picked my new Note up at 9.15 on release day.
Service couldn't have been better. Top marks to Jenna and Nat who clearly knew what they were doing.
I'm still waiting to see what I get for my trade in. They received the phone last friday, so hopefully any time now they will send me the money. I have a screenshot/ chat exert from their guy that i'll send if it goes wrong.
I wonder how much money is wasted by CPW with dealing with customers to rectify problems and mistakes of their own making. Members here could run a better operation.

the stores are better than online. Online is just the pits. Piss up in a brewery comes to mind...
Should have bought in store.
Hi guys,
I did a similar thing earlier this year with my other half's Galaxy S9. I traded in a Galaxy S7 and they were offering an additional £100 at the time. I received payment for the value of the S7 then a few days later the extra £100 was paid in separately. I traded in a Note 8 this time for the Note 9. I phoned them up and they said it was £350 so I said that I was offered £375 + £200, the lady put me on hold and then took my card details and said it will be done in separate transactions, £25 then £350 then the additional £200 after that. I've got a screenshot of the deal £375 and another one with the extra £200 with my order number so they can't argue otherwise.
Edit:
The lady said that they've had a few calls about this issue today and that it has been escalated so I think it's just a mistake or at least I hope it is.
Just my 2p worth;
I went into store and pre-ordered the Note 8, traded a Note 8 I paid £370 for and got the £575 knocked off the Note 9 straight away so I had £324 to pay towards. I got the Note 9 and the wireless charger delivered to my house on release day but I ended up selling the Note 9 on eBay as I didn't realize CPW didn't do the Dual sim version. Staff at the Trafford store were a complete shower of ****e though when I went in with a query about the sims. I used to work at carphone back when I was 17/18 (them were the days!) but the customer service now is absolutely shocking and customer support over the phone is even worse!
I would never purchase anything high value from CPW, in fact I cant see any good reason to purchase anything off them full stop, amazon ftw.
My mate purchased one online with CPW and has recently sent his Note 8 to the trade in center in Newark UK, it arrived yesterday and even though he had it reserved at £375 + £200 they have told him it is valued at £350 (the today price, not holding the price it was reserved at), after some arguing they have raised £25 to his bank (supposedly, if that ever shows up) and said that the £350 will be paid in a few days and the £200 additional will follow after "3/5 days" (he isn't holding out much hope, sounds like a cop out, but the phone calls are recorded supposedly they have made notes on the system). I will report back once all is paid.
No signs of the wireless charger on the online order btw, they told him this arrived 14 days after the phone to ensure the phone isn't returned (sounds like another CPW lie)
Good luck guys

Ordered. Got the unlocked this time around. I just received the Samsung email 15 minutes ago with the $50 credit, and clicked the link in that email and ordered. Used the $50 for the Wireless charging pad Duo, was the only thing I would use. I have a Galaxy Watch and other buds. Signed up for the Samsung financing which was approved, yay! Now can't wait till Sep 18th!

Update... Got an email, mine now says "Expected Delivery: Sep. 21".
I'd be a bit weary ordering before the official date, but that's just my semi-lunatic self.
I'll be ordering through T-Mobile whenever it's available. They have a track record of delivering before the actual date, so fingers crossed!
Ordered Mystic Black with Red Hinge. Says "up to" 5 weeks until delivery. Used my $50.00 (pre-register) accessory credit on a 41mm Silver Watch3 + Mystic Bronze Buds Live for $200.00. I don't need either but the deal was too good to pass up. I'll sell them and (hopefully) double my money.

Mine says that too but don't worry... in the past, the estimation was off like that and it came well before... in fact, it arrived before the official date. I fully expect us to start seeing them arrive around the 16th or so (depending on your location). That number will change a few times closer to the ship date. The pad their time so people don't bug them.
Order: Unlocked Mystic Black. Took Advantage of the Buds and Watch bundle. Even if I sell the watch it's way worth.
September 1, 5:47 pm est
Wanted the gold hinge but just didn't want to wait 5 weeks.
Just preordered mine, black on black... I wanted to get a different color hinge but I didn't want to wait. I'm not going to lie, the black and gold hinge looks dope!
My only gripe with the phone is no extended memory slot. 256gb should not be standard, 512gb of space should be standard in all top tier phones if you want to give us no extra storage.
Where can we get a good case for this phone?

Thanks for the link! I'll pick one up but I'll be completely honest, I just dropped 2k on this phone and they want me to drop $60 bucks for half of a case? Samsung here take my money! =P
What did you order: Z Fold 2, Black on Black. Didn't really like the hinge color stuff, I'm a simple guy.
When was the order placed: 9/1/2020 at 11:20 AM
Status: Preorder estimated 9/18, estimated delivery 9/21 and hoping it gets delivered sooner than those dates.
Bought the UV sterilizer with the $50 reservation credit. I don't think it'll fit the Fold 2 when unfolded, but I have other devices, keys, earbuds that can go in there.

Me too, just now, but Black, not Bronze...
Bummed that storage maxes out at 256GB and no TF card slot! Geez, I have a 1TB card in my V20! WTF Samsung? This is a huge drawback.
If I can't run Xposed on this overpriced piece of overkill of a phone within 3 months, I'll drop it like a hot steaming $h!7 and go back to my comfy V20.
im in Los Angeles and just ordered at 9/2/2020 @ 1:27am Pacific time. Zfold 2 unlocked. black black because im a simple cat too.
I used the 50 dollar credit to order the uv sanitizer.
i already have the buds and watch3 LTE from the unlocked note 20 ultra 5G i just ordered. got a good deal on the note because i traded in a note 10+ so paid the balance in cash. no trade for the fold so had to pony up 2K (190 for taxes in california!!).
i DID use the 30 dollar credit samsung gave out for those who wanted the wired buds with the note 20 ultra so that was helpuful.
expected delivery is 9/21 with shipping on the 18th.
for reference, i got the note 20 ultra 5g unlocked on a tuesday. the order stated it would be delivered on thursday, so hoping this gets to me sooner as well.
Pre-ordered mine yesterday. Got the bronze version. Wanted a blue hinge, but could not wait the extra time. I am way too excited for this phone.
Trying to order with AT&T installment, tried samsung website. It wouldn't work. I was told they're having problems and to try again in 2 hours. Now it says can't order from samsung for AT&T.
Found a link for AT&T pre-order and that won't work either. Says contact customer support. Contacted them, they couldn't do it. He was gonna transfer me to e-commerce but apparently they're not taking calls right now? wtf?
He said go to corporate store and order there. Which I can't now because I'm working and by the time I go, it will be too late.
Kinda sucks.
Anyone know what's going on with T-Mobile? When I speak to their live "experts", they don't know anything about the Z Fold 2 and if they'll sell it, even though that's been confirmed.
I don't really need the Galaxy Watch 3 or the Buds Live, so I'm not tempted to take up Samsung on their ridiculous bundle offer, but if T-Mobile doesn't give me an answer soon I'm just gonna order through Samsung's website with my educators discount.

They are always clueless. You won't find any good information out of them. I would order from Samsung unless you want to be in the dark.
It is not technically a price reduction, but Samsung just raised the trade in value of older watches. Before today, Samsung was only offering me a $50 trade in toward the Titanium I wanted. Went I just checked their website and put it my Gear S3 as a trade in, the value was now $200. I grabbed the deal. Thanks Samsung.
https://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/w...atch3-45mm-titanium-bluetooth-sm-r840ntkaxar/
Nice to see. Just wondering since I already have the Watch 3 silver, would the titanium version be worth another purchase for a more durable watch.?
Good deal ?
Just did this with my original Galaxy watch. I can't wait.
Can't give up my GS3... I love having MST on my watch!
Mine has shipped and according to Fedex I should have it tomorrow. I won't be using the Stainless Steel band and already have a different band waiting. Weight and new features were the big draw for me.S3
BTW, I bought my GS3 on sale for $279 three years ago, so a $200 trade in seemed great to me.
I couldn't resist this deal. Was only getting a day out of my gear. Got a Watch 3 45mm Bluetooth in mystic black for $127 shipped after trade, military discount and a $70 accessory credit from the S20FE deal. Previously Samsung was offering only $50 trade for the Gear. Almost bought the Samsung 46mm watch for $189 last week but something kept telling me to hold off.
Just be careful. I took advantage of the 100.00 off for my gear S3. Then I got an email saying it wasn't accepted because it did not turn on. When I got it back they had taken the brand new band off and kept it.not sure if they don't know how to turn on their own product but as you can see it turns on just fine.
Is this right? No price drop for other counties that I can see so far.
Time for people to start calling costumer service for that price difference refund. If they don't do that for you send that phone back and buy again at the discount
It seems that the prices have been dropped only on Amazon. They are the same as before even on Samsung.com.

Dropped on B&H too. This is where I like to import snapdragon to UK from. Exynos not dropped
Dropping key features like microSD, MST = drop in consumer demand = drop in price within 2 weeks of preorder. Hope Samsung execs learn their lesson from this.
The price drop is good depending on your situation. If you're paying straight out, the price drop is good. If you are trading in and buying from Samsung, Samsung actually gives you more for your trade in. I purchased mine online through Samsung and traded in a pixel 3 (200 credit with Sammy, 70 with Amazon). I also used an education discount, went online and found a referral code on reddit, and Sammy threw in some credits to purchase other stuff. Got the new galaxy pro buds for free, a phone case, and a smart tag. This all totaled 970 with tax. With the price drop in Amazon I still pay a bit more with a trade in and get none of the other things for free. The value with Sammy comes in the bundle of items they are offering, plus higher trade in values.
Samsung reminds me of your typical American car dealership when it comes to “deals”. But hey so long as you feel happy that’s what counts.
