So i walked in radio shack soon they open up (6am) i was pre-order #1 and they was more people walked in behind me.
I got the phone. and i asked them about the accessories for the phone. and they only had some lame screen protectors, nothing as other people was promising far as HDMI cables, gloves, hard cases, etc..
So i just took the lame screen protectors that fit any phone 4inchs and a lil cheap car charger.
Something is better then nothing i guess..
What kinda accessories you had at your local store?
not suprised
Same thing for me. Nothing at my RS. They said like 10 days for hdmi cables another might get cases then. They were not sure.
Would of had thought HTC or Sprint would had shipped cases and etc with the evo. to be sold with the $20 giftcard
same no hdmi cables and limited stock of acc. so i got the horizontal case and screen protector
Just got mines at a Sprint Store they had EVERYTHING! I got my phone and the Bodyglove case. The Bodyglove case is REAL nice!

i got the body-glove case as well. seems a little mis-fitted to the Evo, but it is an all-phone case, not specifically evo.
i had the same experience at my Radio shack. they had the body glove case, and just a couple of screen protectors. LAME.
Sprint store had ALL accessories and if you buy 2, you get 20% off. I bought a silicone and Screen protectors. $25 and change. I was gonna get the Body Glove but it was a little TOO protecting. I'll probably go naked soon, it's almost too nice to keep in a case.
I bought my EVO at a Radioshack though and like the OP, they had NO accessories, just generic.

Let me see some pictuessssssssss!!!!
my RS only had invisible shield screen protectors. so i got that with the 20 dollar gift card, since it was only 15 bux, i used the rest on AA batteries. haha lame. they didnt even have anything else i could use the left over balance on for something i could use on the phone. no hdmi, cases, nothin.
fyi, the invisible shield for the evo is garbage. it looks like crap and is cut too long. i prefer the oem screen protectors that came with the tp2.
Here are some pics I took from my Blackberry 9700
Crap at my RS too.. mirroed screen protect (looks like garbage on the EVO but it will work til I get something better) and an audio patch cable... though unless I'm understanding it wrong... the phone should have been $199 then the accessories - $20 but when they rang everything up.. total was $194 with tax
Should've known that already.
It was announced that RS wouldn't have any true accessories for the Evo until later in the month. In the meantime, there are iGo chargers, WriteRight Screenies (which work beautifully, a million times better than the mirrored), horizontal cases... True, that's about it, but when you get $20 off there isn't really room to complain.
Disappointing, yes... but nothing new

This is the EXACT same thing that I did (LOL). A Zagg screenie (which I now think is awful) and AA batteries.
I'm soooo glad I pre-ordered @ RS. I was the first to get a phone and was in and out in 10 minutes.
I went to the Sprint store by my house to get the BodyGlove case and the line was 15 people deep outside. Inside it was a madhouse! Of course I pulled out my new, already rooted EVO in front of everybody in line (I mean, I had to make sure that the case would fit, you know). ;-)

The only thing my RS had also was the Zagg screen protectors. Nothing else. They offered generic cases, but none custom-built for the Evo. They said it'd take about a week before any Evo accessories actually came in. Sad.

I had it on my herald and it went on easy and looked great. Putting it on the fuze its alot harder and it looks pretty bad, i got the full protection, but just screen coverage alone gave me alot of issues.
Any tips?
I followed the instructions carefully
Did you watch their youtube videos? They have them on their website. I have a feeling (waiting for mine to arrive) that this will not work out for full protection. I should have watched the videos earlier.
You have to seriously molest the shield to make it attach to the corners. There is a penalty for spending too much time or not enough time on molding it. There is also a penalty for finger oils, too much liquid, not enough liquid, blah blah blah. This is no Shamwow!
I will try to record me putting it together on mine for the first time so we can share in the fun.
Their videos are like step 1...step 2...step 154,987...hahaha
I love knowing that we are about to spray a plastic product with a bunch of liquid and then adhere it mere millimeters away from the warranty voiding pink water sensitive tabs.
Man, Im a negative SOB on something I have never tried. Sorry Zagg I will correct myself if needed.
Perhaps I should have gone with one of the brands I used for my 8125 or my x61tablet.
Hi:
Can someone who has applied an Invisible Shield to a Touch Pro/Fuze, please post a good quality, up close picture of how it looks after installation? I have looked at their site, but all the pics as fairly small.
I would really appreciate it.
Thanks!
Saved for pictures of install.

You should all return your InvisibleShield and buy a real full body kit with BodyGuardz.
Way better then the crap you get from Zagg and BodyGuardz give you 2 full kits.

According to InvisibleShield there doesn't have one either. Just had a buddy of mine order one from them. All they have right now is the TouchPro. I guess just wait it out until they have with the PTT already cut out. I am going to modify mine when I get it. I'm not that picky about it. Just trying to save people the trouble of ordering from Zagg. Probably the worse customer service I had ever experienced.
I just ordered a full body kit from ghost armor, it should be here in a few days. Any one ever used it? I assume they are all about the same as far as installation. I have just the screen protection from body gaurdz right now, it has a lot of drag on the screen (stylus doesn't slide very well)
Contacted Zagg they approved my return. Im assuming the guardz is the same type of material as Zagg uses? Reason being, on the touch screen it provides a much better feel that other screen protectors.
Cant really explain it buy it sort of gives you a light grip its an amazing feel compared to a bare screen or a normal screen protector in general

To be fair, I have used InvisibleShield's on my Tilt, MDA, Nintendo DS and Sony PSP and those things are indestructible! After 1-3 years, they are all still going strong.

I agree.
...boxwave
I'm curious to see how well the invisibleshield went on the back of the fuze. I was thinking of getting it, but just for the back. I use on all of my devices with screens the boxwave anti-glare. Some ppl argue that it dims the screen, makes it look less sharp, and I disagree. They make all my devices from my Palm Lifedrive down to my Sony PSP usable outside, and that's a biggy for me. So the first thing I'm doing when I open my fuze box is going to be taking the already unwrapped boxwave and putting it on, before I even turn on the device.
But the back worries me, it seems like a scratch magnet, and I want to get that protected too. Anyone want to post pics from their installs? How hard was it with all those facets?

Well they might be strong but there customer service is compared that of Raiders offensive production this season. Abysmal.
I have never in my life been so admiment about asking for a return. I have dealt with mobile providers customer services, which by industry standards is always pretty bad, but Zagg has reached a new low.
I never said they had a horrible product by any means, but there Customer service was enough to make me post, not only this post but numerous others about the company. Whoever is running the company needs to make a serious adjustment on the way they handle customers. I ordered a InvisibleShield or I should deem it "The Shield that never came to be" on Saturday the 15th. The informed that the Shield would be shipped in 3-5 business days. Never heard a response after 5 business days. When I e-mailed the company asking them about it. Nothing. No response for 2 days. When I asked the "Customer Service Represenative" about where the order was all the could tell me was that it was processing.
When I called for further clarification all I could get was the same answer and the lady on the phone told me "I have no idea why it hasn't shipped yet" When I told her my complaints about the company all she said in response was, "I'm sorry to heard that." Not, how can I make this better for you. Or I will check on your order right now and make sure that it's shipped out today. I immediately there after cancelled my order and sent my money else where. Of course I have to wait 3 - 5 business days for my money to be returned to my bank account. Funny that it took less then 12 hours for them to take the money but takes 3 - 5 business days for the money to be put bank into my account. Funny how that works.
If you are happy with InvisibleShield, then so be it. I just wanted other people on XDA to know about the horrible customer service that I experienced.
A side note. Another fellow XDA member purchased a invisbleshield the day after I ordered mine. He received his order last Wednesday. How does somebody who ordered the same exact product in the same state one day after me get the product before me. What's funny about though is that he received a invisibleshield for another phone not the Fuze.
Once again another stellar example of the applitude of people running Zagg.

what you done realize is, the minute your hit purchase you had your invisiheild. You can't fault them for not shipping you something you had all along. i think if you look hard enough you miiiight...juuuust miiight see how inviable this shield really is. and when you see your inviable shield, you'll enjoy it that much more! here here for invishield...a job well done!

The point of getting the Zagg is I dont Need two kits...
Ill post pics of mine should get mine in the mail today or tomorrow. I've applied Invisible shields to almost a dozen devices and I've only had it come out with extra bubbles once when I wasnt as careful with my Sansa Fuze (my phone and mp3 players are both Fuzes now...neato)

I dont know about sides because I just got the screen cover and not the full body. It went on without a problem just like all others I have bought before! I know I dont really need a screen guard but it eases my mind!
I bought two Evos and we have Zagg screen protectors on both and there were easy to put on, stick really well, have no issues from them at all, the screen still responds really well and then we added gel skins/covers to them both. Being I pre-ordered at RS, the Zaggs didnt cost me anything.
I love my Zagg's I have used them for my past 3 phones including a Touch Pro and Touch Pro 2.
I have already purchased the EVO's protection but I am on the waiting list for the phone until the new ones arrive on Wed.
If something goes wrong I'll come back and let everyone know, otherwise assume it to go as well as all the other instillations I have done - smooth and pretty.
--PS
I will be buyin this bad boy on LAUNCH DAY....
I think i'll wait on buying the dock though....
gonna miss my gTab, hope I get what I paid for the gTaba nd the CLIP.
I hope they make a CLIP for the Transformer, I LOVED IT for the gTab!
I was able to sell my G Tab on ebay this past weekend for $345 shipped with Skinomi screen/back protectors. I only lost like $10 compared to what I paid for everything. Kind of a bummer since I only owned the G Tab for like a week lol. But oh well... I think the Transformer will be worth it.
Probably best to unload the G Tab now anyway, before it quickly starts to lose value.
Auction just closed, got $335 + $15 shipping, came to $339.50 after paypal fees. After I take my MAC bluetooth keyboard back to bestbuy ill have (hopefully) ~$410 which should put me close to the Transformer, i hope.
It was a blast to use my gTab, now its time to move on to something new and let someone else enjoy the goodness =D
I'm on the same boat. I have two Nooks that are going on ebay before the transformer catches wind.

OT: How did that Skinomi protector work on the gtablet? I just posted in Accessories that I saw they were advertising a protector and carbon fiber back on Amazon - but have never heard of them.
It worked really well. Fitment of the back piece was kind of crappy (holes didn't quite line up) but for the most part, I was happy with it. It made the screen more responsive and improved viewing angles a bit.

Thanks for the feedback.
I found a few others posting that the back pieces didn't fit quite right, but still worked.
Another member in the gtablet forum actually cut some carbon fiber backs for several of us so I'll have to see if he's still "in business" for this one.

Yeah the guy selling his own custom carbon fiber backs is a little bit more expensive though. Seems like it may be a higher quality product, but I'm not sure. The Skinomi kit comes with pieces for the sides of the tablet as well though.
I sold my Gtab I have had since November, last week. I'm looking forward to working on the Transformer and will be in for the tablet/dock as soon as it is available in the US.

just ordered it great price.hope its not junk. But o have amazon premium so can't really loose
I ordered this Sunday it came in today good quality leather.I love the fact that you can see the device on all sides with no bezel cover.However I do not like the forword folding stand.I will get used tto it or modify it to stand by closing backwords.
Much better then the acer branded case. I wasted 40.00 on that crap.
Thanks again for thelink
Erica Renee the geeky blonde chic.
$5 + 4.99 Shipping.
Still a good deal if you need one, but I already have a case. I was just gonna buy it cuz it was so cheap lol.
Thanks! Ordered one, you're right. Can't really go wrong for $10 bucks...
Vipertek
I have the Vipertek case, it is very good. Cut outs for speakers, camera etc. Gives the tablet a good leather look. Holds it in place nicely. Doesn't work has a stand in portrait. When you flip it back, say in your lap, the speakers get covered by the flap but it doesn't effect the sound bad at all. For that price, I may get another one. Great case. I paid $30 for it a few months ago.B005LMMXHA The first link.
My roomie has the Vipertek case for his Galaxy Tab and it's not bad at all for five bucks. If the Acer version is just as good I'd give it a thumbs up.
Looks exactly like my Blurex I got last month, and paid a whole lot more for. In for one so I have a spare, lol.
Seems they have now changed the prices on them. As they are now $11.95 for each one. And it now totals $20.39 for the shipping included. I guess you could add another item and try to get the super saver shipping deal for $25 over orders though.
Was likely a very short timeline as I feel that price was very generous. I got in on the 5.00+5.00 shipping However, it appears that it will not arrive until sometime between now and the time I retire.
Where are you from.
Louisville Kentucky here ordered Sunday got it this morning was shipped from CA.
Its very nice I got the open one.not the fully covered model.
Was not expecting it till mid next week.
i am using Leather Folio Case Cover for Acer Iconia. But i got it from rooCASE while back, for like 25$. And now its on sale from VIPERTEK.
Any way, the case is really good and has a really nice look and feel. Being able to use it at any angle is really nice. The only time i have an issue with it is, when you fold the front cover back and have it laying on table the speaker tend to get hindered. Causing music to sound abit different... But thats not an issue if you have headphone on .
Got mine in yesterday, and love it. Got the full covered one. All the ports are easily accessible. The sd slot is a bit tricky to get to while in the case, but let's face it, how often will I need to do that.
Just recieved mine today. Absoluely love it! Much better than i expected for 10 bucks lol.
Nice perfect. Been holding off on a case thanks OP

Nice case. better than I expected for$ 5 bucks. Get this, received a note from seller that if I submit a product review (didn't have to be a good one but it was), they would refund my purchase price, which they did.
Only complaint might be (a bit of a nit-pic here) when you have it in landscape view and have it angled up, it slips due to the dock port not getting a good grab on the groves.
Either way, a net price of $5 for an item that replaced the BB case is a good purchase. it has a sleek profile, gives easy access to all ports and protectd the Iconia.
Mine seems to hold fine in landscape angled view. When I am playing the SNES emulators and not pushing it to my TV, I have it in the case all the time without issues.

http://www.ghost-armor.com/whatIsIt/carbonFiber/
just got this on my tab and im in love.
carbon fiber skin for every square inch of your device and a top notch screen protector, makes your device immune to scratches.
although you can order this straight from the website and install it yourself, i suggest going to a mall location because they use a wet install similar to invisashield to not the same and then they put your device into a vacume sealed box to suck out any bubbles or imperfections, and cure the liquid they use to install.
the result, a sexy protected tablet
Looks good. Wish i would have gotten one on my infuse. Stupid case and dust scuffed the bezel up. Also no kiosks in my state lame cuz it sounds like they do a good job installing

Ghost armor is incredible. I've been using their products for a couple years now and I couldn't be more pleased. I have the full body clear kit on my A500, but I wanted the CF kit. Sadly, the kiosk I went to did not stock it. I needed the protection though and I'm happy I got it.

same here... order the kit to your house then take that to kiosk for them to install
Is there an added installation cost
It seems the price is considerably less if ordered online however I would want them to install it. I live on Ontario and there is a kiosk in a mall not far but they want $70 for a full install. Where you charged extra $ for the install.
