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.
It looks like most of the posts in this forum are for covers - should've looked here earlier.
I tend to abuse my phones pretty badly - I usually buy a case, but since the options were slim for the Focus when I bought it, I haven't had one. The other day I put the phone in my pocket with keys and the back cover took a beating.
Anyone found a place to buy a replacement back cover? I figured they would be available by now, but I haven't seen any other than one on eBay that's up to $37 at this point.
I tried calling Samsung's mobile accessories / replacement parts line, but no one seems to pick up.
I have one from a focus I sold for parts. I dont know how you would want to do a transaction but id sell it for 20 dollars.

How much for the earphones?
Me too
I sent Samsung Support an email requesting information about ordering one and got no reply. Sent it weeks ago.
back cover
I definitely need to locate a back cover also.
Hi guys. I too broke my back cover.
I called Samsung, and leveraged my way all the Corporate Help Center through yelling at 3 supervisors.
Samsung unfortunately are not producing back cover replacements at this time. :/
However, I went to the AT&T store and spoke to the manager. He gave me a back cover from Focus that was returned to them and said they do that all time, try that. :]
I saw some back covers on sale on ebay for around $20
EBAY
Search on EBAY for "Samsung I917 Battery Cover" and you will find a vendor with used, refurbished and new covers ranging from $19.99 - $29.99.
Anyone looking for a great skin that is invisible protects like armor and has a
lifetime warranty look no further Skinomi is the best skin I have ever used. What
could be better than a great skin like that well how about great customer
service to go with it. I have gotten my skin replaced 4 times in the last 60
days and have received it in 2 days from order all the way from CA to KY. The
first replacement was my fault because I pressed to hard with the card and it
made a crease. I could have lived with it but why when I can get it replaced
lol. I faxed them the form with info from 2 different locations because I waited
5 days after the first and got no response and when I didn't hear anything
after the second fax I emailed them. They got back to me within 24hrs and
sent it out right away at no charge with a great apology. The next two came
with flaws in them so I sent each one back and got the same prompt response
and delivery each time. To top it all off since I had 2 with flaws they
reimbursed my $10 and didn't charge me the $2 for shipping each time. The
forth one again was my fault. There was a small hair about an inch down from
the top. When I emailed them asking if it was possible to fix it by washing and
reapplying or any other way they told me it was impossible because of the
special glue on it but said because I wasn't fully satisfied I could get another
replacement but would have to pay the $2 and that was ok with me. So I
basically paid $2 for a great skin with a lifetime warranty WOOHOO.

The brand is Armor Guard and they have it for the Galaxy Note 2 and other Android devices.
I'm thinking of canceling my order for iSmooth and purchasing the above product, but im not sure...
Has anyone tried the Armor Guard?

Indistructable screen protector? Nice!
But at just .25 mm thick I'd be more interested in how it stands up to SPen use.
Wow their offering a 2 year warranty to fix or replace your phone if the screen cracks while using their product. Very interesting, Anybody tried it yet?

The problem in the past with these super strong protectors tends to be that they are soft and using the s-pen will leave grooves. Would like to hear about that.
The N2 is considered as a tablet, including shipping, the total cost is $31, $33 for Canadians. We might as well purchase full warranty on it.

My point exactly.. screen protectors that work so well for othwr devices don't work that well for the Note II due to the SPen.
I used a sheild that I have used with everyone of my devices over the past couple of years. They worked great and I loved them... that is until I bought them for my Note II. The grooves that the SPen left on the screen jusy drove me crazy.

I would read carefully between the lines of such warranty. Typically phone replacement claims are offered under a "normal" use, and trust me they will come up with any excuse to prove you were using your phone outside of their "normal" use guidelines. This is not a warranty from SquareTrade, Best Buy, or whoever else you bought your phone. Take for instance such reputable company as Otterbox. I called them up complaining about screen protector which is a known design flow, they created a case and told me the processing under warranty replacement will start after I send them a picture of front and back of the case with a piece of paper next to it stating my name and date. Furthermore, they wanted a picture of the defect, and since it was not visible on the picture I had to make a short lo-fi video clip explaining what's going on. I ended up just returning that Defender case back, but if this would have been outside of my 14 day replacement window - I wouldn't be surprised if they would come back to me "its a normal expected behavior". The point, always take these miracle warranty claims with a grain of salt

Speaking about Otterbox I bought a case from a 3rd seller through Amazon.de that was defective (the inner silicon) and after contacting them and sending them the requested photos they agreed immediately to send me a new case as part of the 1 year warranty. Please note that I live in Greece and they cover everything. I have to say I am extremely happy with Otterbox.
They have videos of people break dancing with the phone tied to their ankle covered in the screen protector.
The phone gets damaged, but the screen is perfect.
I'll take it no one wants to try this product and write a review?
Armor Guard Reviews
I recently bought Armor Guard for my iPhone and iPad - it's AWESOME! I haven't had a major drop yet but the occasional time my phone dropped nothing happened. The warranty is unheard of and it's legit. I checked their Facebook page and someone posted about it.
BTW they have reviews on their website buyarmorguard dot com

Never had problems with otterbox warranty. They replaced my two cases immediately after the pics were sent. I even mentioned that the defect was that it didn't come with a sp so I cant take picture of what is not there. I just wanted the sp they sent me two complete replacement product
On there site it says Read our full Limited warranty for Details.. Well one small detail. There is NO Posted warranty
On there FAQ.. Question is . what if my phone or device cant be repaired .
Answer:We will replace it with a LIKE Device.
A warranty like this got me once on a tv. they can give you anything with similar specs. Does not have to be exact specs.
But if the above is not really a issue but just me being paranoid its a good deal. If this were not a soft material protector .
What do you think.. Anyone find there full warranty details please post..
If someone who bought this product could comment on the warranty, since they state that the warranty details are included with the order (I dunno why they don't just post them on their site unless they don't want the masses reading it before they purchase... Might be shady).

Whitestone has recently instituted a Limited Lifetime Warranty for their products. They indicate that the warranty is applicable for "Wear and damage to the product." They will replace or exchange with a product of equal value. In order to use the warranty you have to register the product on Whitestonedome.com. They will send a replacement. But, you have to pay for a shipping/handling charge as well as return the damaged product back to them.
I successfully installed the Dome on my Note 8 in early September and have been happily using it without problems since then. It was a bubble-free install. I've been using a Spigen Neo Hybrid case. I haven't dropped the phone or abuse it. This last weekend, I noticed a row of bubbles along the edge of the Dome near the power button of the Note 8. I typically turn off the Note 8 once a week for a refresh bootup. So, I contacted Whitestone and they informed me of the new warranty. I registered my Dome. Requesting a replacement is easy. However, the cost for shipping the replacement is $15.38. They don't pay for shipping costs for the return of the damaged Dome. Apparently, they won't be shipping the replacement until they receive the returned Dome. A credit card payment is needed immediately when you request a replacement.
I'm not sure why they need the damaged Dome returned if I registered since they ask for the original order number as confirmation of ownership. I assume when I remove the Dome from the phone, it may crack/break. If I mail the damaged Dome to them, it will probably get damaged further unless I carefully package it for shipment. This is unnecessary and doesn't seem to be a customer friendly process.
Zagg does the same thing. You register first time you buy it and every time you break your screen protector you go claim a warranty replacement and just pay shipping. The reason they ask for it back is because i think they wanna make sure that you are using their own TGSP instead of some cheap one and claiming it as theirs.

You register under My Account in the menu drop down.
That's great news I had to get a replacement device and was dragging my feet about buying another one. This make it a lot easier to justify
I assume the ones I bought during their product clearance on Amazon won't qualify.
I'm waiting to hear back from them because I couldn't select the UK retailer I purchased mine from (MobileFun), and so couldn't register my product.

I notice that the number of selectable locations for purchase has gone down, rather than up. There's just three and they are now all US based. Do you have any information about this @Whitestone Dome Glass?

I have been trying to get a replacement in Canada for so long now! Apparently they only provide warranty in US and EU!! Well too bad, I'm not buying whitestone for my S9 and I convinced my friends to avoid them... at least I cost them 4 sales for their poor policy!
@Whitestone Dome Glass
My wife and I have Zagg and have replaced them both over time with no problems only downside you pay $9.99
today I got the replacement film, but now since the chip is small I have doubts whether to use it immediately or keep it for a while the old, what do you recommend?
Edit: installed the new and away the thoughts, but one thing I understood, even with a case (in my case pitaka), if the phone falls the film breaks.

During purchase from online official store in Singapore they say can claim from White Stone if any warranty issue but when log in to White Stone it doesn't cover. Have sent an email to them over the issue, if they don't come back with go good reason going avoid it and also inform my friends. Not worth paying $37.50.
Horrible customer service. Like truly horrible. The said they would send a replacement but they did not and have ignored my messages on Amazon.

I totally agree, their sevice is absolutely horrible! I sent them 5 email requesting a replacement (I was ready to pay for it) they NEVER even replied! On their website it is impossible to get anything done for Canada. I will never ever again buy from this rip-off company and I am discouraging all my Canadian friends to do the same!
