anybody know where to get a cheap black battery cover. the one that came with the device is full of scratches
also whats the cheapest place that sells the battery with its it external charger. simiar to this one for the diamond http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.17053 (this works well btw and its only $4)
i wish dealextreme sells x1 stuff
yea.. i am interested in getting a battery cover as well. mine is scratched... grrr... so easy to be scratched
nothing?
what about just a cheap stote that sells cheap x1 stuff?
Also looking for a black battery cover
EDIT: Found one although expensive http://ucables.com/ref/BATTERY-COVER-SE-X1-P-R89657
have you check with sony support about a battery cover? or is it just that expensive. i dont think you will find anyone making a battery cover other than sony for the x1. i could be wrong tho.
if you cover is that badly scratched, why not just sand it, leave the metal bare or paint it. put a cover on it and it will not be noticeable.

Hmm... yes i found it easily scratched... geez...
However i ordered from the authorized service here, and they charge me $15 for it. Not yet arrived, they need to indent.
Do you think it's expensive? For original cover?

How about I give you my account number and you can withdraw the money yourself . Get real.
My cover got scratched from using a PDAIR case that is leather on the inside as well. It started taking the paint off the edges. Hopefully somebody finds something for less than 40$, which is a little ridiculous.
@megacrazy,
I agree w/ you. Maybe on that ebay listing put a offer in. Ive bought from that seller before and Ive put in $7-$15 cheaper than what his asking prices is and he's has accepted everytime. Its worth a try...worst case senerio is he say no. But i definitely agree w/ you $40 is alittle steep.

Haha...thanks for the tip. I put in 30$ and it was automatically accepted. Still a little steep but better than 40$. I guess we can test the waters next time with some 20$ offers
Has anyone seen their new cover? Mine just got scratches while in vacation. I need the new one and didn't find one on ebay.
Any help?

jimcat,seeing that you are based in HK, might be easier for you to contact/pay the seller than us. I would be interested but could I trouble you to get one instead of me buying directly from the seller?

just want more orders so that i will buy it at once

a friend just bought a 4-5 day HTC diamond battey+cover for only $9.50 http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.15622
and these people are selling us the cover for $40. $5 should be the maximum price for something like this
Got delivery of the above case today which comes with a decent easy fit screen protector
the case basically covers the back and the top but sadly not the home,menu and back button area or the
Earphone area.
the top buttons are harder to reach as well.
Not worth. Buying esp for 25 quid
thanks for this info

Send it back for a full refund under the Sales of Goods Act. The case is falsely advertised and is not as described. "This robust form-fitting case provides a total protection for you Dell Streak from scratches" (sic) is the blatant, ill-grammared lie on the web site, when it leaves the scratch-prone front panels totally unprotected.
You might put up with that for a fiver, but for 25 quid? Stuff it up 'em, I say.

yeah i hear what your saying if i could be bothered i would do just that.
I always keep my streak in a bag pocket by itself when im carryng it so its not at great risk
still F*****g annoying .
the screen protector is good though!
Cheers for this, bought a screen protector off amazon £8 ish 5 triple layered. Wouldn't know its there.
Not bothering withcase, its not the type of phone that you don't notice an extra few mil thickness.

To be honest I can't be arsed but the case is very tight fitting and follows the shape of the streak, like I said before the screen needs a protector which is included but the 2 panels either side of the screen are not protected at all.
All of the ports and buttons are accessible

This case is laughable .. I am packing it back up and returning it. The back of the streak needs LESS protection than the piano finish and screen. You get this case which seems to be made of a thicker version of the plastic it is packaged it. It fits over the back of the case and that is all .. They include one sheet of screen protection .. I forget what I paid for it but it is worth about a dollar .. NO MORE.
I ordered both cases. I am keeping the wallet .. maybe .. That is cardboard covered in some sort of material with a coated rubber band to hold it closed. UGH .. I would love to have an ottercase for this.
i tried reviewing this case fairly and honestly on Dell's website and they refused to put the review on even though the only other review said roughly the same thing
i.e. that it is crap
I just picked up the FormFit Case myself and I can honestly say I was surprised at how it barely added any size to the overall dimension of the Streak. I like it. The openings for the buttons keeps them from being accidentally pressed during daily use.

What about the fact that the 2 panels either side of the screen have NO protection at all not exactly total protection is it?
You cant really cover that panel because first of all the bottm panel is also touch sensitive, the top part has the camera and sensor. I dont see any difference with it and most other cases for any other phones. If the 2 front panels are covered, it would make the Streak feel HUGE. Its already a big phone, but nice and slim. Take that slimness away, then its just A BIG PHONE.

1) Touch buttons can work perfectly well though a properly designed case
2) Camera and sensor too - ever heard of holes?
3) The Streak is huge anyway - 1mm on the front isn't going to make any difference - not least to those want "total protection" (sic). I note Dell don't make that claim on the US site. Scared of being sued perhaps?
4) The flip out back is another fail - if the hinge was higher up it could have acted as stand too
5) Even if the case was perfect, it's only a cheap bit of moulded PU which compared to "most other cases for any other phones" would cost £5 max. Also why is it $19.99 on the US site but £25 (~$39) in the UK? If that's not clear proof Dell are shafting punters I don't know what is.

Most likely due to VAT I would believe.
Anyone know of any sort of sleave cases for the streak? I liked the old sleave case I had for my g1 and would fancy the same for my dell.
I love the way some Brits just roll over when being taken for a ride. Since when has VAT been 100% markup?
I see PDAir are now doing Streak cases which is good to to see. But disappointed that they are also also taking liberties on pricing in comparison with similar devices i.e. $50 vs. $28 for N810.
I appreciate any business will charge the maximum the market will stand but it seems Dell's ludicrous original accessory pricing has meant that Streak owners are now a soft target for everyone else.
Got to admit Dells pricing says "We don't want to sell this stuff" to me. Somebody at Dell doesn't live in the real world.

No idea what your guys VAT is but ours is 17.5%, yet theres jack we can do about it being so exspensive besides writing a very stern letter to dell Mind you I wouldnt pay that price for that case unless it is made out of diamonds -.-'
does anyone have a coupon code to get free shipping.
Shipping is like 7$
Edit : If anyone is willing to give away the case, I can take it.
Dell Streak plastic case
I have had this case for at least 2 weeks. The phone dropped out my hands twice when connect to the usb charger. It hit the floor from about a foot and a half height. The glass was intact but I noticed that right next to the power button the streaks plastic frame had popped out. All I had to do was snap it back in no issues. Just realized that this case does not adsorb shock it sends the force to the streak itself. Going to buy another case once they become available. By the way case is already scratched up.
Where can I get screen protectors and cases in Toronto?
It's called mail order..

Mail order is not a good answer, by the time it crosses the border, even though our dollars are as of right now equal, the border cost and shipping make the accessories more than double the price. i.e. $15.00 screen protector came in at $32.50 from one place I tried.
isn't there sellers in Canada? They really don't have to declare it a purchase but a gift.

Okay so I am trying these out. I have just ordered two of them... just in case I screw up with one of them. Hope they are my answer... if not my mistake will only cost me a few bucks. Thank you for the links! I will post again after I have placed one on.
The extreme guard is the one I tried out. Seem pretty good so far.
Got on in TO
I just got my focus a couple of days ago at the Rogers Plus at Wellesley and Yonge. They have the Zagg Invisible Shield screen protectors for the focus. Just put it on tonight- I like it so far, but it will take a day or so to let all the little bubble go away. Before I got the phone I had gone out to Pacific Mall to see what they had and there was nothing! Even the Rogers stores out there had nothing.
I was actually told by a very young asian woman at Pacific Mall that "...if I didn't mind my phone was a white peoples phone" and that "Pacific Mall probably wouldn't cater to me". I love Toronto... I really do. I actually paid for the ones in the links abouve from Extreme Guard but I haven't received them yet. They said 7-10 business days, I am hoping they will come tomorrow. I will report back when (if) they come.

So I mail ordered the XtremeGuard and it finally got here yesterday. I have to say I only needed the 1 out of the 2 that I ordered. The screen protector was easy to put on, it looks fantastic, there are no bubbles and it did not cost me $15-$25 at a local store like Rogers. It looks fantastic, although the die cut is about 1mm too short. No biggie though, and I am now not afraid to throw it in my pack or let other people try it out. (My iPhone friends seem to be uber curious - but then again they are not the Sheeple type)
I can whole heartedly recommend this company... and they were extremely inexpensive!
Great, thank you for the link ITDRAGON!
Just wondering but does anyone know of any places that sell invisible shields preferably in the steeles east region and not downtown? Really don't want to go searching store to store and order online
What is the texture on the Xtremeguard? Is it rubbery or is it smooth and glossy?
It is clear, not as glossy as the real screen and somewhat rubbery. At least that's what I make out of it.
Hi all, I know both of these cases have been around this forum at some point, but I don't want to bring up a dead thread.
I'm just curious to owners that have either of these cases:
http://shop.portenzo.com/hardback-for-nexus/
And:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251139617...:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#ht_11985wt_1037
I just want to know, is the eBay case good quality etc, I've heard good things about it.
Or is it worth the extra spend, and go all in for a portenzo case?
I love the portenzo cases especially how you can design it to represent you, but spending that much on a case is something I have never done. Is the build quality etc really that much better to warrant spending over 40$ on the portenzo?
The portenzo comes to 43+$ for me as the shipping is quite expensive due to me being in the UK.
THANKS IN ADVANCED !
I was happier with my $7 Amazon case then my $50 Portenzo case, so I would say its not worth the extra $$$
I've just taken delivery this morning of the case you've linked too on eBay from seller wedo-bestdeal.
Ordered Tuesday afternoon, came this morning. So good service.
As for the case, I'm happy with it!
It doesn't add too much more bulk to the tablet, folding the cover back turns the device on, as expected, and folding it right behind it, like you'd hold it whilst using it wth two hands, doesn't cause the tablet to sleep. I've read on a few posts that the magnets in some cases can be too strong and cause it to sleep by doing that.
I've folded the case to stand the tablet up, and to just have it at a gentle slope, both works well. It will jsut take a little time for the cover to be less stiff.
my only moan is that the case over laps, and curls underneath adding a little unavoidable bulk to it, but it's not much, and after playing with it, I can live without without a problem!
Get one, for £10, what's the worst that can happen?
I have that eBay case and it's just fine, it gives good protection and is hopefully hard wearing. I also have another case that I think is much nicer looking but isn't holding up living in my pocket all day.
Can't speak for the Portenzo from experience but from looking at it, it doesn't protect the N7 round the edges at all, that may not be a problem for you but it is for me.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B008GSMRAY/ref=noref?ie=UTF8&psc=1&s=electronics
anyone tried this one,well ive just ordered this one,will give a review once it arrives,probably monday
Cheers peeps, I'll buy the eBay one then.
Was just wondering whether the price difference offered much more protection etc.
But by the sounds of it the 10£ one from eBay is sufficient, plus it does look nice although the portenzo is BEAUTIFUL !

I guess this is a unanimous decision, the eBay case is the winner.
Probably purchase later today, tomorow or next week. As I tend to put things off, as I only bought a case last week for it, BUT I HATE IT.
They sent me wrong colour, the case was different than in picture, the stitching was all over the place, the material was coming off etc etc.
But thats a different rant altogether, thanks for the answers people !

i went for the amazon one,if its crap it will be going back
I just found what I was looking for - TPU Case cover very similar to Asus official travel case cover, also works as a multi-angle stand. Bad news is that I found on Alibaba.com, where minimum order is 500 pieces and I didnt find it anywhere else. Also, it doesnt work as a smart cover with magnetic sleep/wake function.
http://grashine.en.alibaba.com/prod...high_quality_TPU_Case_for_google_Nexus_7.html
I'm in for one, 4999 to go
Too bad they don't offer a sample. Occasionally I've managed to get items that way on alibaba but it depends on the company.

Yeah, still 498 persons more and we're done. Put a magnet on front cover to make it "smart" would be a piece of cake

Ebay offers a few that may fit your needs.. Here is one that I found that my husband is interested in. Not sure if you are limited by location, but you could give it a look.

Thank you for your suggestion but I like my device to be rubberised all around bezel, just like Asus official case does, or this...
http://www.aliexpress.com/wholesale...=si&initiative_id=SB_20130530225110&isRtl=yes
There is so many cases where minimum order is only 1 peace, that gathering 500 people is a waste of time. Plus then you're going to receive 500 cases in you mailbox, and then you're going to ship all 499 of them to people? In the end the costs of shipping will be the same as if you bought original asus nexus case.
No offense, but it's a waste of time.
If you like the official case so much, just get it, it's not way too expensive, if you include the hassle you get with ordering 500 chinese ones. And the cover on the chinese one looks like it'll fall off any time now.

Hi, all that talks about getting hundreds of people was a joke:laugh:, actually, we were talking about how difficult could be doing a such a simple thing like buying a new device case on net. But thanx, anyway, I allready have a official Asus grey case and I really like it, but it couldnt be used as a stand cover, especially as a multi-angle stand. So, thats why I was looking this particular case. Cheers!
Edit:agree with you, seriously doubt about quality.
