[Q] In Toronto?

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.

My Nexus 7 Accessories Order :)

I got this case-
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0083P0MI4/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
and this screen protector-
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008EO263I/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i01
They'll both be here Monday, which is when my Nexus 7 (16 GB) will be delivered too. I have and have had products from both Moko and ArmorShield, and both are excellent quality.

I think I'm going to buy that case. For $6.99, it will hold me over until a better one comes around. I don't like it for permanent use.
I do want a screen protector too, but I only want the non-spray self-sticking (static cling?) ones. I bought one of those for my wife's iPad and it worked great. I bought a spray-and-stick one for my SGT8.9, and it sucked (Zag).

Well, MoKo makes good stuff, it should last a while, I think they are just doing the deep discount to get in on the Nexus 7 frenzy. I agree on the Zagg's, I don't like them either, but ArmorShield, Skinomi and BodyGuardz are all good ones, they all make dry apply and wet apply. I usually go for dry apply on phones, like my Galaxy Note i717, but on bigger things like tablets the wet apply ones are easier to install and work with, at least for me. The ArmorShield's are really thin, don't yellow and are not sticky like the Zagg's, which is one reason why I dislike Zaggs too.

Just ordered that case as well. Can't beat that price with prime shipping.
Thanks for the post.

I ordered the case a few days ago and already got it. It's actually quite nice and more indicative of its real price and not the $7 I paid for it.

I ordered a moko one that has the magnetic sleep/wake function. Sort of a gamble because there is only one pic, but it looks like it can function as a stand as well.

Nice. I just ordered it too (got the last one). I tried canceling my earlier Moko case order but wasn't able to in time. Assuming this case is good, I'll just return the other one for credit.

Weird. It said there was one left so I ordered it. Now it says there is still one left....

Yeah, I've been really impressed with MoKo cases, they are well built and don't cost an arm and a leg.

I received my armorshield screen protector yesterday and just installed it this morning. Had no issues, used the wet solution that came with it. I agree it is not as sticky as the zagg ones. The armorsuit skin has already dried and looks great.

Right on! I have been pretty impressed with their stuff, Skinomi's are a little sticky, and Zagg's are ultra sticky of course. With the ArmorShields, the little imperfections will settle out over the next couple of days, and if for some reason it goes crazy, they will just send you another set out.

I haven't checked my mail yet, lemme go see...
Update-Yep
Dear buyer:
Sorry for another intrusion but we just came across this report and
thought we have to share it with you:
http://www.tomshardware.com/news/White-Nexus-7-Case-Stain-Clean-Black-Nexus-7,16302.html
With the same porous plastic material, we are concerned that the black
back on the retail version could also be susceptible to dye to some
extend. It may be embarrassing but we have to admit that we did not
have this issue in mind when our fist batch of Nexus cases was made.
Although the case has NOT left any mark on neither of the white or
black Nexus 7 we have after a short period of normal use, we would
rather be overcautious and have more intensive tests done before we
can comfortably let you use the case, even as a temporary solution. We
definitely could not afford to have you as beta-testers on this issue
with your brand new tablets and would suggest you hold off using the
case until you get further confirmation from us or a replacement case,
hopefully within 5-7 days.You can be assured all our future shipments
will be fully compatible with Auto wake/sleep feature and free of any
staining problems guaranteed. You will get to choose any style you
prefer from our whole selection of Nexus cases as the free
replacement.
I understand most of you will get your Nexus 7 today and I am really
sorry to disappoint you with this message but please do excise caution
if you have to use something else on your Nexus. Again, I apologize
for the inconvenience and would appreciate your understanding and
patience in this process of getting the right protection for your
Neuxs. This is what we do and we will do it right for you.
Please also let us know if you have any comments or suggestions.Thanks, Jim
WOW, I don't think I've had such good customer service, at least not that I can remember! Most companies would be like "Oh, sorry about that case we sent you last month, it probably left marks allover your device,sorry, but we can't do anything".

I know, I'm shocked too. Question: you just ordered the one case in your OP, right?
I ask because I ordered TWO cases from this seller. The one you did, plus the $12.99 smart case they came out with on Sunday. I wanted to make sure that this email was about the first case, not the second one (or both).
I am really shocked that they would have gone so far to help their customers for something that cost $6.99 shipped. I was actually going to return that case, since I got the better one, but I think I'm going to keep it just out of support of the seller.

Yeah, just that one. I am really impressed too, it shouldn't be shocking to get that kind of customer service, but the world being like it is today it's surprising to get that level of service, I am definitely going to be doing more business with them in the future!

Does a case come with the OP3T?

I purchased the OP3T midnight black and I'm looking for a decent case. I watched an unboxing video on YouTube that showed someone opening the OP3T box and there was a clear case included. Just want to confirm with some of you OP3T owners out there if a case is included in the box with the phone?
Thanks!

No case is included unless they added it recently without mentioning it on the website.

Mine didn't. It did come with a glass screen protector, though. I bought a pack of plastic ones not knowing. Doubt I'll ever use them.

Here's the link to some dude unboxing the oneplus 3t midnight black. He pulls out the clear case from the top section inside the box after he removes the cover.

That's a seperate case that did not come out of the box the phone was in. That phone looks really really nice! If I didn't use a black case 99.9% of the time I might not have cancelled my order last night. Enjoy the phone it's very nice especially for half the price of the next samsung.

I bought mine Midnight Black yesterday and I got the clearblack tpu-case. Not a quality-item but does the job before the original case arrives. But mine didn't have a tempered glass, just a screen protector (which is nice anyway, before the tempered glass arrives). Location in Finland, bought from local carrier, not directly from OnePlus.

It did come out of the box, you can see him taking it out of the box that the phone was sitting on top of. He even confirms this in the comments.

Don't know if there is any regional or patch differences, because I didn't have the glass screen protector that someone mentioned earlier. So it may or may not be there. Ordered a Nillkin nature case and the original full cover tempered glass, so the camewiththebox-case is fine till then.

Thats great guys just enjoy that amazing phone I'm glad they added that little extra feature to keep it protected.

In Finland we have a local carrier Elisa which co-operates with Oneplus so we can get it directly from the store in various cities every day (good for us). Don't know exactly where they get their supplies, maybe UK idk.

That was also a Colette edition.
I have bought the Midnight Black from OnePlus; I'll report back exactly what I got when it arrives in a couple days.

You sure it's tempered glass? Was it pre-installed?
I got my 3T mid-February, direct from OnePlus, US version. I came with a plastic screen protector already installed. I know for certain it's a plastic protector, as it's had some issues peeling away and bubbling at the bottom (near the home button).

UPDATE: Just received the phone today -- wow, shipped in two days from Los Angeles, California to Toronto, Canada. Yes, there was a smoky clear TPU case included in the box with the OP3T midnight black. It's a very tight fitting case, fairly cheap, but at least it was there. Nice little bonus. Thanks for those of you who answered in this thread.

Actually, I chose standard shipping (there wasn't a choice from Canada) -- but when they sent me the purchase / shipping confirmation, they had upgraded me to priority shipping. I didn't even pay custom / duty fees. Thanks OP3T

Midnight black here, case included. Included installed screen protector not that neat looking though, will need to replace that myself.

Who else got glass back protector with Note 8?

Just want to know how many of us actually went through while unboxing of our Note 8. I just found after 5 months that Samsung also sent back protector which is made of transparent plastic. See the pic below and check your document box if you haven't check yet...

Maybe it's something new they do. I mean it's ridiculous we pay a crap ton for these phones. But they don't wanna give us good case and screen protector. They help your cell phone store scam you with a rip off $50 each case and screen protector= $100+.
Wish the law made it mandatory for 1 year warranties to cover drops. Then these companies would actually care to oblige to a good case/screen protector.

Dropped and cracked my phone. what can i do?

So yeah,the unthinkable happened. I literally threw my phone out of the window while trying to use Google pay. Not my proudest moment. Ended up cracking the bottom of the back glass. I've heard stories of Samsung replacing broken devices within the first few days of purchase. I bought it yesterday. I saw a replacement back for 40$ on eBay. I ordered a dbrand as well. Not sure if I should just sell it at a loss or try if I could get a replacement from Huawei.
What do you guys think my best options are?

You can try ordering one from Aliexpress:

Wrong cover but I appreciate the reply. I found the right one on ebay. Fun fact is I could actually get the blue one which is cool but ubreak ifix won't let me bring my own part so I'm still trying to figure out what to do. I ordered a dbrand for the mean time.
