Not sure if anyone is aware but it looks like AT&T corporate stores have marked down what little mods they have left in their system. I just recently bought a brand new Z2 Force off swappa and have been hitting up the ones in my town. They don't seem to show up via website, they have to scan them at the store. So far I have scored:
JBL Sound boost 2 for 39.99 (technically I got it for 31 after 20% discount buying three accessories)
Incipio wireless charging mod for 10.00. I bought the last 2 they had
Strangely the tempered glass screen wasn't marked down
Your results may vary but I wanted to let people know.
Bonus: Also was able to get a PureGear tempered glass screen protector for free @ a TMobile store cause they rang up 0.00. They would only let me get one and then I guess they pulled them later off the shelf but youight get lucky. Good luck hunting.

This is a placeholder for chat about Moto Defy accessories!
Well first thing, I wish there were epikcases for the defy. I sent a message to dcmugen and he said they'd check into it. Probably unnecessary, I know, but a bit of extra protection never hurts. $400 is $400...
gel case
All I want is a TPU gel case (not silicone), at moment I'm finding it very hard to find one here in the uk, the only one I can find on ebay is from the US and comes to about £10 (usually pay about £3 for them. I guess its just because its early days. The phone is rugged but the case is gonna get damaged if it accidently gets dropped, so for me these cases are a must. The amount of times I have dropped my hero with one of these on and it has just bounced is testimony!
As if by magic over night a load of these have appeared on ebay.co.uk - just bought a black and blue one for £1.99 each inc delivery. Just search "defy gel"
Plz post a few shots when you get them, I'd love to see how the Defy looks with a condom.
I've dropped mine 500 times so far, but never on concrete or anything like that. So far...
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.
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.
I have D415, ordered S-line case on ebay. It doesn't fit right, slightly smaller than my phone. I wonder if its a defect or made for 405/410 models? Cutouts don't align properly and the case doesn't fit. I like the case. Its cheap and grippy. The screen protector that was included with it is not perfect edge to edge but it fits ok. Ordered another protector from a different seller and its the same fit. Looking for seller recommendations for good-fitting edge-to-edge screen protector and s-line case.
forgot to mention got my hands on the original ipod/iphone earpods. mic works great with this phone. I use it to record phone conversations on landline. For some reason the same earpods don't work with s3. Also earpod buttons can control some 3rd party camera apps. Something i discovered recently after playing with bt remotes.
Is the LG Optimus L90 D415 bigger than the D405/410? I just bought a case and it seems to be too small for my phone.

same here. The seller i bought from says its not for 415 and 405/410 are different. Seller has a picture of what looks like 415 but 415 is not listed. Ordered from another seller that has 405/510/415 listed. That seller says they are the same. No separate option to order for different modes. 16 days after ordering received ebay notification my item has shipped. it'll be another month before i know if this case is the right one, if i ever receive it.

The one I got that didn't fit was from cellphonecases.com. It looks like it might be awhile until I find one that fits. If you would, please let me know what you find, thanks.

the first case that doesn't fit bought on ebay - seller hksanho. waiting for the second case from seller buyeasy-uk2. will post when/if it arrives. s-line tpu case.
Just in case nobody knows this, if you get some headphones, earbuds, or IEMs that are designed to work with Samsung Galaxy devices (since the Galaxy S2, iirc) they'll work perfectly with LG devices like the G2, G3, L90, L9, Tribute, and so on.
I have a pair of Koss Steel earbuds that I "transplanted" to a Samsung cord w/remote about 2 years ago, plugged them into my G2 a few weeks back and was happily surprised they functioned as expected: Play/Pause/Next works as it should and the Volume buttons work properly as well.
No additional software required... just wanted to toss that out there so other people know if they don't already. You can get Samsung Galaxy earbuds on eBay for like $10 or less these days, the cord quality is excellent and very difficult to get knotted up because of the way it's designed and the particular materials it's made of make it pretty much knot-resistant too. I keep mine in a pocket in my shorts most of the time, take 'em out and they're ready to go in seconds without having to fight to untangle 'em.
Just an FYI for folks with LG devices.

I will no longer order cases for this phone on ebay. S-LINE case from two different sellers did not fit D415. Its smaller than the phone. Sellers either don't know what their suppliers sell or play the "i refund you leave 5 start positive feedback" game selling defective crap. Very annoying. Always buy cheap cases on ebay, never had a problem before.
I hope someone can find a case online that fits and post the link.

The case I bought from cellphonecases.com fit. I didn't think that it fit at first. I thought that I had to make it fit in the case by pressing hard. Someone showed me that I had to pull off the rubber casing and then pull apart the plastic pieces, which go on the front and back of the phone. Then put the rubber casing back on and it worked.
Where can i buy original lg g2 earphones for small amount of money?
on aliexpress or ebay or amazon. there is cheapper than in any other store
Hey all,
I finally got one, at a pretty good deal from Alibaba (8GB/256GB for $800 + $45 DHL shipping). I unboxed it and noticed two sticking edges, like very thin black silicone edges. Anything to worry about? it's unexpected obviously and I assume it wasn't finalized properly at the factory. No visible side effects although I suspect its effect on the phone IP rating.

Pic ?
You can probably return it but might take a month to get replacement
If it's barely visible I wouldn't bother
I pulled one of the edges out and it just went and snipped the other one with a delicate cutter tool, as I figured it's better than pulling it. Couldn't leave it hanging like that. I doubt it did anything, but I dunno, it's kinda weird receiving an $800 phone like that.
Well firstly I would like to as you if it is a global or a Chinese version, 800$ seems quite cheap and you might have received a refurbished phone rather than a new phone at that price point, I don't know the market value for this phone now but still should be higher than that even though Xiaomi 12 has been announced but not yet released
You can get it for $800 from Alibaba and the specific seller I got it from has quite a lot of happy reviews and no mentioning of a refurbished one, so I think it's safe to say it isn't. It's the Chinese variant of the phone, as it didn't make sense to get the global one.
I never heard of silicone sealant being used on smartphones. Acetic acid is corrosive unless they used the 2 part potting silicone mix designed for electronics. So there's that...
Always cut (razor blade), never pull.
Could be a refurb with sloppy replacement panel
Go to the site and check the IMEI numbers to see if it's been used in china before, it will tell you the exact date
Which site? I was only able to find this and it won't say dates: https://www.mi.com/global/verify/#/en/tab/imei.
