I get can a Chinese/Honk Kong model for 3$ and free shipping. Why would I pay nearly 10$?

I bought a cheap v1 kit from eBay and I like it but been thinking if it's worth it to buy a 15 dollar kit made from plastic and that comes with a Bluetooth controller.
Anyone tried those?

Well the OP has good intentions.. No point in bashing them. If you have a better/cheaper solution how about posting a link as a suggestion. Negativity is useless

NIIICE!!!! thank u
Except for a few covers and screen protectors, its all just generic phone accessories. Also, i got a good chuckle from the Memory section selling microSD cards with "Compatible with Google Nexus S Phone" at the bottom of each listing. Technically I guess they explain that away by selling a 56-in-1 Media Reader, but in that case even an old Compact Flash card could be listed as Nexus S compatible.
Oh well, got my hopes up for a sec.
Another templated generic accessories site like the rest. Nothing to write home about.

[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.

one word of caution on this sort of product: the keyboard might be smaller than it looks making it difficult to use.

Nah, it's just farther away than it looks.
Anyone get this yet? Is it legitimate? Review?
I love the way that looks and folds into the screen too,
however is it safe buying from the seller considering they are based in China and i read there are a lot of scammers on alibaba/aliexpress
i have a similar one buyed a year ago,it look like the kb in this links above...and personally i can't use it due to the less spaced buttons and phisical dimensions of it too little..

All of these keyboards are built cheap but still work decently. I've bought a couple like this and the knot real complaint I have is that they are a lot smaller than you think. Its pretty annoying to type on.

Thank you for the input. A local consumer electronics store "Best Browse" may have a 7 inch net book around. Probably comparable in size. I think I'll give that a shot to see how cramped it may be. Worst case scenario I'll have a $25-$30 hard shell case. Best case scenario it is a decent keyboard to get some typing done when there isn't a full keyboard around.

I bought one from EBay UK. Looking forward to trying it out in 10-20 working days

How is this much better than the portrait keyboard?
I work in a store that sell elektronic accesories and we have this for the ipad. It's quite good quality. But the pad is quite unprotected when folded.
I have only tested it a few times and can't speak anything about battery time.
Hope this helps a bit.
And i had some experience with aliexpress. And the sellers that had a few reviews that i barted with have done their job. I haven't had any problem with them. Always got my goods, maybe quite late sometimes, but I got them.

Different tablet, different size, etc. There are a lot of factors that can determine it. The blatantly obvious one would be that the Nexus 7 is 7' not 10 with the iPad.
I'm interested in one, however I'm waiting for reviews to appear. If it turns out to work great, I'll get one to take notes in class with.

Pre-Order On Ebay?? O.o

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Pre-Order-N...1182551322?pt=Cell_Phones&hash=item3a7ba5911a
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trksid=p2047675.m570.l1313&_nkw=LG+Nexus+4+&_sacat=0&_from=R40
That is crazy price.
I decided to search the UK eBay site for the Nexus 4. I found a pre-order that has already received two orders:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LG-Google...26613?pt=UK_Mobile_Phones&hash=item1c2d059bf5
£370 for the 16GB model? no thx
Yeah, people already started to sell the phones like 10 days ago for crazy prices!
But looking at the offers, there certainly are people who buy them...
Imagine if you had to pay customs + taxes! It would make the price almost double!
I never understood why people pay more than its worth .
It Ticks me off that if these do end up selling out it is going to be due to these greedy scammers figuring out how to buy as many as possible on launch day while guys like me just want one..

It'll be people from a location that it's unavailable buying them. Because they don't have any other choice, really.
Yep, it's very annoying that I'm not able to buy it from the play store..
This is stupid.. the seller don't even have the device in stock but he wants to make extra $$$ when he buying it from Google
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nexus-4-8GB...1012253859?pt=Cell_Phones&hash=item1c2ce474a3
Why not cut out the middle man and just order from the Play Store yourself..
Yeah this is bs Google needs to put a limit no one seriously needs 8 phones

Zagg Flex Keyboard/Stand

Heres a great deal I found on the Zagg Flex Keyboard/Stand. It costs 79.99 on their site. Sometime for 69.99 when on sale. Amazon has it for 57.28 on their site. But heres the real deal:
http://www.all4cellular.com/product/zagg-zaggkeys-flex-bluetooth-keyboard-bulk.html
ONLY 34.99 while supplies last because of overstock. If you look at the value this was a deal breaker I could not pass up. I paid 2$ sipping so my total was 36.99. If you look at the reviews the build quality and features are top notch. I'll use this for the keyboard and continue using my 10" Belkin neoprene case for transporting the tablet until the smartcover officially from Samsung (Still Hopeful) drops.
Good luck for those of you interested in a keyboard.
Heres a link to their commercial:

Wow. This is a steal. If I didn't have one already, I'd get one. I bought one at 80, and I don't regret it, thought I wouldn't have minded to save a bit of money.
This keyboard is amazing and works almost perfectly out of the box. But when you combine this keyboard with this app, you will actually want to use your N10 for productivity. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.apedroid.hwkeyboardhelper
I don't work for Zagg nor am I the dev of this app FYI.

Just ordered one & they gave me free shipping.

Wish I had seen this thread earlier, pick one up on amazon for $55. It's really a great keyboard and highly recommended for anyone looking for a lightweight and durable keyboard for their n10.

Yes, but that's an issue with all bluetooth keyboards and 4.2. Had nothing to do with zagg
Nice find! Just paid $31.16 for mine and I can't wait! :good:
I picked one up at Target, and while it performed well it just felt exceedingly cheap to me. The plastic case didn't have any structure to it and warped easily unless I was using it on a desk. Typing with they keyboard balanced on the arm of the sofa (for example) just didn't work for me. It has since been returned and I'm looking into other keyboard options.
Thanks for the find. Just ordered and was able to use the 20% off promo code someone else posted.
Damn, wish I had a extra $31.

Is anyone trying to order from overseas and having problems? Sometimes the site shows a shipping quote, sometimes it wont, it doesnt except my credit card and when i use paypal, it doesnt add any shipping costs.
All in all it would be a great deal, even with the $30 shipping costs, it's still almost half the price of what i pay in europe.

I've tried twice to buying one (shipping to Spain) but, despite in their FAQ they say they can, their website wasn't allowing me t get one. I had no quote for shipping.
Anyone managed to? Quite interested in one of these.
