HTC Touch Pro Battery cover

Ok so I lost my battery cover in a bar =/ , I looked around and found this expansys thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3005813
I wasn't sure about expansys and they charge a fortune for Canada shipping. Anyhow I kept looking and just found that:
http://www.msgdigital.com/productdetail.asp?productid=46908
So it's a bit cheaper, shipping to canada is cheaper (still an expensive lost for a freakin cover! )
I am on the pre-order and I am using my old Htc Excalibur in the mean time.
I will update the thread to let people know about my experience since I know it's a pretty popular item with the fuze owner and some people are sick of expansys!

Pre-ordered. Hope they don't pull an Expansys...

Someone that has good skills in painting might want to take a look at this site and set something for fellow XDA members to maybe save money and not give the money to expansuck.

I was thinking of that kind of painting when I started to get pissed off of the finger dust on my Fuze... thanks for the info... now i know which paint I'm looking at.
As for the expansys (expensive) case, i got my pre-ordered for $15 (shipping to Canada is way too expensive, so I've asked a friend to do me a favor and ship it to me)
The shipping cost from expansys to Canada is exaggerating (we're talking about $30 for the case + $20 for shipping).... It's stupid. I asked my friend to buy me a $2 bubble envelop and ship it with a stamp
I don't know why people on XDA promote expansys so much, their products are expensive... the service is so so and international shipping is just stupid.

Got an email from msdigital today apologizing for the delay and confirmed a 1/20 ship date. Get bent, Expansys.

Hey what about me!
Lol, still good news

Did you end up getting these? Still says no date on website

This cover is for the Extended 1800mah OEM battery.
I got this one as well, the device is pretty thick and massive. Battery last a good two days with this one compared to a little over a day with the regular one.

See this thread, I presonally got it of eBay with the battery, because alone its useless, the regular battery wont touch the cover and it might move/disconnect

I'll update: I ordered one from msgdigital.com and it arrived quickly. It is great! I love it better than the glossy, especially since I had accidentally scratched the back of my original Fuze battery cover...
I had no problems from MSGDigital.com. Just wanted to post that in light of the problems people had with expansys...

ok so I see you guys are looking for cases and what not, if your just looking to get a better color for your battery cover (black would be my choice) you guys could dye it yourselves without having to spend much money at all, everything you need should be under $2 and it will only take about 20 minutes to do.
All you have to do is go to your local Wal-Mart and buy some RIT dye, the powder kind, then get a pot with water and heat it up enough that it would burn if you stuck your finger in there but not so much that its boiling, then mix the dye in there and sumberge your battery cover completely in there, you don't have to worry about covering or removing the camera lense cover or anything, the dye shouldn't stick to that part of the battery cover and it shouldn't stick to the inside of your battery cover because of the type of material. You should stir the pot with your battery cover in it for 15 minutes then take it out and rinse it under water until all the extra dye has come off. You now should have a black battery cover that looks like it came that color stock. There are some pictures and success stories and basically a run down of what I just said in a thread over at PPC Geeks which is where I usually linger around.
Heres the link, pics and all should be on the first post.

White Galaxy Note 10.1, unavailable on Bestbuy.com and Amazon.com

I went to bestbuy to exchange my ASUS Transformer Prime (many known problems), they let me, and said i could go pick any tablet to exchange it with (thought they would just offer a ASUS Transformer Infinity as the replacement) , so i went to go look at the tablets, narrowed it down to the Infinity or the Note 10.1, decided on the Note. Asked the person there if he could get me one from the back or whatever, to go bring up to Customer Service to exchange. He went to go get it, came back and said they where all out of stock.. So anyways i ask if they can order me one, they said yeah and i could come pick it up on the 24th.
But today I check bestbuy.com just to see if they have any instock by chance. and what I see now for the White model, is "Unavailable" http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Samsung...6&skuId=6315134&st=galaxy note 10.1&cp=1&lp=2 also "Shipping: Not available" for the black model however it says for store pickup " Pick up in 3 to 5 days" and "Shipping: Usually leaves our warehouse in 1 business day"
I also checked amazon, and i get the message "Item Under Review
While this item is available from other marketplace sellers on this page, it is not currently offered by Amazon.com because customers have told us there may be something wrong with our inventory of the item, the way we are shipping it, or the way it's described here. (Thanks for the tip!)
We're working to fix the problem as quickly as possible."
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galax...48139719&sr=8-1&keywords=white+galaxy+note+10
This is all really weird, I wonder what the problem is. Looks like i might have to get the black model, or wait a bit, for the white to get back in stock at bestbuy.. Some other retailers (newegg, b&hphoto etc) still have the white instock.

I was about to order it from Aamzon this morning...and i noticed this. There is a seller on Amazon named 'onSale.'...im slight concerned ordering from them:
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galax...UTF8&qid=1348142811&sr=1-3&keywords=note+10.1

A little nervous making, no?

That probably refers to people complaining about broken seals on packaging received from Amazon.

Still on sale with lots of vendors and Samsung.

Best buy does not have a lot of white in stock. Greys were manufactured first. Whites typically represented the 8000 originally.
Best buy cant ship it to your house, except on days that trucks get delivered. I have no idea why this is. But check on Saturday or Monday/Tuesday and it should show up that it can be delivered to your house free shipping.
I just returned my grey for creaks and ordered the white one. Only shipped to store for now since I ordered Wednesday.
There's about 5 best buy stores within 300 miles over me that have whites in stock. None of them are convenient.

All respective Notes (8000, 8010, 8013) are mechanically the same and made on the same assembly lines no matter what color they end up being. So if there was something wrong with the production of white back covers or white displays (since the color is part of the actual display) I could see where one color could have a different set of issues than the other. I also think that's highly unlikely or it would have popped up here in the forum before Amazon. White seems to be more popular so it could simply be Samsung guessed the percentages of white vs. gray wrong and didn't build enought white ones.

Consider getting it at Walmart. I returned my16 GB version to BB and got the 32GB Version from WM because the two year warranty with accidental coverage was only $69 compared to $180 @ BB. And BB would not price match on the warranty.

I actually gave in and drove to canton, OH to get the white one tonight. Funny, i swear this feels sturdier and slightly heavier. It could be because i didnt have my baby for 18 hours...
The front of the box is slightly different than my gray one too. Graphically, they replaced the s-planner icon on the gray box with the s-notes icon on the white one. No creaks on this either so far.
It really does feel more solid, i swear im not going crazy.

Go with the deep gray. I've had the white model for ~2 weeks, and decided I'd rather have the deep gray, as well as 32gb of internal storage (instead of the 16gb I have currently), and I'm willing to pay the $50 price difference that I found on Amazon. The new one should be here today, and I'm going to send this one back.
I don't like the gray border/trim on the white model. I think it makes it look kinda cheap, like a toy. Hopefully, the deep gray will appeal a bit more, with a modern look.

i bought mine from them (onSale) last week, $499+19 overnight shipping, guess what? i received it after a week. i called the customer service 13 times, and everyone saying something different. anyway after i got my note and shipping refund, i gave a negative feedback, the day after the manager called me to remove the feedback since they refund my shipping cost. i asked him what is wrong? he said we dont have in it stock, we brought it from GA, Thats why your order took long time. so i removed the feedback

When I bought mines I wanted the Whitr buy the best buys surrounding me only had grey so I went with that. I woulf check stock daily after to see if they had the white and there days when I saw both models listed as unavailable. About 2 weeks after I bought the grey one, a store near my job finally had the white in stock so I went on my lunch break. When I went to the desk and the girl told me they didn't have it. I let her know that it says they had it online and got pissed off and walked to the section where they have the tablets. Five minutes later she came back with the white one and did my exchange.

My Story & First Impressions

Hi there,
Probably hundreds of other threads similar to this one, however I would like to share my experience with the HTC One and also how I actually got my hands on one today!!! (Sunday 24th March)
Let's start with how I actually got my phone, which is the advice I'd like to give. Me and my mother decided to take a trip to Manchester as I hadn't bought her a mothers day present. We got to Manchester, and started having a look about when I found myself in the Phones4U shop in the Arndale Centre. (ground floor as there are multiple stores, near the Apple & Vodafone Store) I just happened to see the One, and I picked it up and immediately fell in love with it! I asked the sales guy if they had any in and he just replied 'Yes'. After speaking to his manager he said I could buy it Pay as You Go for £489! I was shocked as it is £529 from ALL retailers online and also, it isn't even shipping yet! Anyway, I ended up buying the phone and my Mum paid for her own present don't worry, I'll pay her when I trade my iPhone 5 in! :laugh: SEE THE ATTACHMENT
Anyway, as far as first impressions go, my iPhone 5 now feels FAT after using the HTC One. The only issue that I have had with it, is mine is getting incredibly warm. However right now it's on charge, and now is the only time I have noticed the heat so I'm putting it down to the first charge. It's been a while since I was on Android, so I'm glad to be back in the game.
Any advice on screen protects would be greatly appreciated, heard the actual HTC ones are a little expensive for what they are, anyway thanks!
Mike

Nice! Good to hear that they aren't as hard to come by as one would think. Maybe it bodes well for online outlets and may in fact have them in stock and were told to hold them for release until 25. At least I am hoping.
For screen protector. I took a plunge and backed these guys on kickstarter.

Do they even do these for the HTC One? It's not listed.
Also, how can they do a front and back for iPhone? The back of iPhone 5 is textured so not sure how they will stick!

Thanks for the replies. In regards to the Rhino Shield on the iPhone that someone mentioned, it would indeed stick to the back. The only thing that put me off buying my HTC One was the fact that I'd spent £25 at Carphone Warehouse UK getting a Zagg Screen Protector and having it fitted on both sides.

Thanks
Cheers!
I just rang them and will get a further reduction. I've had one return, and 2 price matches
In all I've had 110 GB Pounds back off John Lewis since I bought it a month or so ago. Not bad for 2 years gurantee.

I just got mine on Saturday (replaced on Sunday) would I be able to get the price match?

Yeah call them up when you get a chance and they will refund you £30 - I haven't done this personally as I didn't buy from JL but people on this forum got refunds when JL dropped price from £450 to £400 and @bu11d0g is saying he has got price match refund from the initial £480 price.

Thank you. I received the tablet under complex circumstances anyway. I actually didn't know I'd receive it since I got a cancellation email and was waiting for the refund from paypal (still waiting) to buy one again. I was initially going to wait, but then I got an email saying my tablet was being dispatched and effectively got charged for this tablet and right now my bank account looks like I've bought the tablet twice. I figured since it was too late to cancel and it would be arriving anyway I decided to keep it. I kind of regret it now lol but I do hope I'll be able to price match with them. Thank you for bringing this to my attention by the way!

White is all sold out online, but call your local store and you might be lucky. They will put it aside for you. My local JL had 3 white only left.

Okay I was told to do a price match form so hopefully they'll get back to me. If not I guess I'll call them up again.

Thanks for this info, otherwise I wouldnt have bothered walking into the store where they had loads in stock so bought a white one ... however the assistant first brought out a box with one seal broken (can't say for sure if she knew or not but I will give benefit of the doubt) but when I told her about it she seemed a tad shocked and got me another straightaway. Don't get why samsung don't just have that plastic film like on ipads or other devices as it would be plainly visable if it had been opened/tampered with. Oh well i have mine now so all is well :good:.

Thanks for that infomation, I filled out there online price match form last night, and got a conformation e-mail today telling me they have credited me the £30. Very happy (and somewhat surprised)

Bought mine online from them a couple of weeks ago and picked up in store. Emailed them earlier, reply this evening saying they are crediting my card with the £30 refund... great!

Happy days!
Yay, submitted a price-match claim last night and this morning received an email saying they are refunding £30 :victory:

Got mine today! it kills my tab 3 8.0. The screen is something to behold.

Just wanted to confirm that they've also verified my price match and I should be getting my £30 back. Thank you so much for bringing this to my attention. It makes me feel more relieved that I've made the right decision purchasing this.

I bought mine last week from JL for 399.. just emailed them to see if I can get my 30 quid back too .. my missis wasn't too happy at me when I shown her how much it is now lol

Ordered mine today. Paid for next day delivery but it says wednesday Doh!

I guess you bought the black version? I can't wait for them to get white back in stock

Ive submitted a price match form, hopefully ill be lucky! loving the tab and this might be time to root it so i can move some games to my SD

Wasn't sure where to put this but since it says 'John Lewis' on the tin I might as well. I got this tab from John lewis so if I were to return it or if it broke within the 2 year warranty with the Knox counter tripped, would they check it or would they just repair/replace it no questions asked. Thanks in advance

Saga Continues
Update:
So I called up my local John Lewis to check the store stock, they tell me they have the Note 10.1 2014 in stock so she says its reserved for you now so come into store and pick it up within 3 days. Me being all excited I head out for JL straight away. I get there, find an assistant...she pops into the back and walks out with a brown wooded box so I get even more excited - on closer inspection its a Tab 3 10.1, I tell her its the wrong one, she apologieses and pops back into the stock room and returns empty handed once again apologising that there is no Note 10.1 left. So that was a wasted journey and go home sad and empty handed.
So try 2...I call up on wednesday and once again I'm told they have stock and its on hold - I repeat many times "Note 2014" and even mension I've already had a wasted trip and she goes " I have personally placed it on the shelf myself", I was catching a domestic flight home and as soon as I land I make the way to the shop and the exact same thing happens, obviously I was a tad annoyed by this stage, I didnt really mind the first time as mistakes happen but twice!
The assistant understood my annoyance and in the end he said whenevever it comes back into stock I will get a £30 discount...so in total the tablet will cost £340...I left tabletless once again but atleast I will get a good deal whenever I do buy it. Patience is a virtue haha.

Sending my OPX back...

I was super excited to see my new OPX show up.
I was surprised that they chose to ship my phone and Rosewood case in nothing more than a thin bubble wrap envelope. When I opened the package, the box has pretty dented in the corners.
After I took out the phone and pulled off the plastic protectors, I found small scratches on three of the four corners on the back of the phone. I then found a pretty deep search on the front below the home button.
Then I was even more bummed to find adhesive tape sticking out of the back glass beside the top microphone.
Poor build quality and poor packaging for sure.
I love the feel of this phone , too bad.

Mine came in the same box as @neilownz and everything was in pitch perfect shape.

Did you buy it on oneplus website ?

I think you got scammed mate. Most of ours came in that clean slide box as seen above. Did you buy it off eBay or something? Maybe it was actually a second hand phone someone tried to sell you?

I bought from one plus site, and it came in a small brown box as op described, but no problems with it.

The phone was packaged in the White OnePlus box, the case and phone were shipped inside a grey bubble wrap envelope, not a brown box.
It was purchased with my invite from OP.

I sent my OPX back as well, it had the yellow tint issue on the display which really annoyed me. Currently awaiting a replacement-I hope I get it before Christmas otherwise I'll have to wait until the new year.

I got mine in a very thick bubble plastic protection,in sack from DHL. White box

Same here - the packaging was impeccable!

Does OnePlus give you a return shipping label? Or you gotta pay shipping yourself? Just curious.

Mine came in the same box as above. My device is pretty clean and nice.

In the UK by law they have to pay for it, don't know about elsewhere. But from what I have heard some people have had to pay ridiculous amounts of money to send the device back.

Thanks. I'm in USA and had to pay shipping. Luckily there's a USA return Center, so it only cost 8 USD.

I purchased the OnePlus X online, and my one is very nice and clean. I believe you have got the 2nd hand one.

UPDATE: 18 days after OnePlus received my phone, they never refunded my money. They also didn't respond to my email followup. I filed a PayPal dispute and got my money back in 2 days. Good job Paypal!!!

mine came in a DHL envelope packaging. sadly the box came with a small dent on it, but that's where it ended. The device itself is brand new with no issues whatsoever. super happy with it.
sad that your experience isnt the same as most of us...

oh nooo...too pity
