everyone are talking about extened battery and cover, it's a shame they dont have a limited edition version.

I was just about to ask if there were any battery covers for the Gnex. The one in the ebay link looks nice (more premium than the stock one).
Wonder if there is one like the battery cover of the Nexus one, like soft touch Teflon (that feel anyway)

some members were allowed to keep the covers, the seller didn't ask for them to send it back, so they cut connection.
anyway read the thread.

Chill out, guy. If you happened to read his shipping details, or try to actually order, you'd realize there are no shipping options for the US. Worldwide delivery pertains to Canada and Europe.
Also, I sent the buyer a message about possibly shipping to the US and he never got back to me =\ Hopefully if more people ask him about it, he'll make it an option.
I also asked the guy but no reply yet

I love the OP's eye roll about not clicking the link. Obviously, the OP didn't click the link either, since the ebay seller clearly says: "Post to: Europe, Canada". Do you see US listed there? Nope.
Okay he replied and added U.S now so we can all order now its about $11.00 I just ordered my white one.....

also, i spent 5 more seconds on the ebay ad and clicked "more information" and saw this.
I wish there was a metal (or partial metal, so as to not interfere with the reception) back plate, but this is certainly a step in the right direction. I love how thin the Vibrant is, I don't want to add a case to it.
Yea I ordered the white one ill let ya know when I get it hopefully this week...

Leather back cover

Just found this picture via Twitter: leather back cover for the Samsung Galaxy S2.
On the picture, they mention a "customisation pack" for the SGS2.
Apparently they're available in France, at the Bouygue telecom company. Maybe elsewhere too?
I've never seen them available online. Have you?
I've seen some on eBay, but they are like crocodile textured and ugily.
yes, information on some of them, with ostrich leather skin, has been posted here.
But I prefer the ones I posted above, with the cow leather.

If any French fellow has got one of those and would like to sell the black one, i would definitely buy it.

I third that. I'd love one of these babies too. I have a friend at work that reads Korean, but I dunno how that would helps get our hands on one of them.
Btw, these cost 39,000 won which translates to 35 usd.
Wow. Seems like they couldn't handle the press exposure. They've taken down the site, photos, prices, etc.
Btw, the design itself was originally made by Incase or some other company for the first ipad, wasn't it? Though I guess Apple brought the patent before launching smart cover for ipad2.
You can get one of these in red on ebay UK at the moment. It seems to be a copy of the anymode one....

Yeah, I admit it. I was just too lazy at the time. It might of been that I was in a 150sq ft room filled with electronics and my 5 & 8 year olds running loose as I tried to get my money back from sprint. Yet, come to think of it, sprint deserved every minute of their greasy hands on every one of their phones and glass cases. I should of just walked in and said have at it boys.
You can't order unless you are registered and to register you need a Korean social security number. This most likely means that it won't deliver outside Korea.
I lived in Korea for 10 years.
Go figure. Another case i want that's not available. Had a relative with one for the (insert patent # here)pad and thought it was a nice little case that kept the bulk down.
Anyone know where I can find something like this for the tab? I'm really interested, and since its been taken down, I'd like to know if there are any alternatives.
I found one on ebay. concerned about trying though

Yeah, I didn't want to say anything, but it just looked like two pieces of cheap leather slapped together and loose fitting at that. It could be good for someone.
Damn.... It's incredibly difficult to find a case I like. I like this one. Especially in baby blue.
I sent them an email just in case they'll ship them out on the sly. Hopefully somebody there reads/writes English.
Samsung should just give crapple the finger and approve this. Apple has already said they are not using Samsung for their next chip, at least I think I read that on Engadget.
I would have loved this case.

Do I contact Samsung directly? I'm looking for the original one. How much would that cost??

I haven't bought one, but have bought other stuff from there. They seem to photoshop any brand names out for their photos, as they're not genuine I suppose.
I'd guess that the missing 'g' would be on the actual cover.

How to check whether phone is used or new

I am on the lookout for a Galaxy Nexus in Mumbai, India. I want to make sure that I get my money's worth when buying the phone i.e I don't want to get ripped off by the seller.
Can you please tell me how I can know if a phone is new or used previously.
I already read but people in the comments have reported that they don't always work:

There's very little you can do to check if it's new or not other than call Samsung and see if someone has registered the unit with them for some reason or another. Although the seals on the box being broken would be a massive give away

When i got my nexus in the mail my buddy took it out of the box and put his phone in to play a joke on me and didn't even break the seal. I asked him how he did it and he said he didn't even realize he had done that. So no the seal is no indicator at all lol.

I find it hard to believe you can undo the seal without damaging it, I had to proper rip mine to get into the box. Perhaps the EU ones are more secure!!
Either way, unless you're getting it from an official dealer it's hard to say whether it's 100% new or not
