T-Mobile Accessories

I am a rep for T-Mobile and we have started receiving our accessories in the stores. I don't have pictues just yet because I don't want to lose my job as many of my co workers are also tech savvy and on this forum, however I have seen that there are a few nice accessories that you all can expect from T-Mobile at launch. Keep in mind that our stuff is pretty expensive but there is a buy 2 and get 20% off and buy 3 get 30% off accessories special going on right now.
1) leather vertical belt clip
2) gel skins in blue, purple and pink so far
3) a hard shell with a kind of monochrome checker pattern n the back. (This one is nice and thin but is the kind that lacks wrap around protection on the top and bottom of the phone. Kinda just cradles the sides and back. Still nice though.)
4) there is supposed to be a hard shell with a slot for you ID and credit cards. (I haven't seen this one yet but if its nice and thin this is the one I will buy.)
5) there should be a desktop cradle coming soon too because this phone has the charging contacts on the side so it will be a landscape cradle. Looking forward to this one too! (Missed it from when I had my nexus)
Anyways I'll stop rambling now. I hope this helps you all out and at least can give you an idea of what is coming at launch time guys. The MyTouch line is
T-Mobile's franchise line of products so expect to see a lot of advertising, support and a full line of accessories.

Thanks for the update. Keep us posted when and how we can order the new phone.

I think one of the best places to get the phone will be at walmart usually 50-60 bucks cheaper...

The credit card holder shell/skin is cool! (already got it in my store)
-clear back shell/rubber side hybrid is cool too

Is there a chance you could post pics of credit card holder shell? Sounds interesting!

Any luck telling us location of your store? I personally am looking for the white my touch with the clear hard shell case and kickstand

Im using the black gel skin on mine we got some nice ones in my store there is a clear one with a grey rubber grip down the sides which cradles the phone nicely and covers the corners as well. I threw it on the white one and it contrasted very well. Wasnt to crazy about it on my black phone though.

t-mobiles facebook page posted a bunch of pics of the accessories. they all look pretty sweet!

here is a link to the preview:

I'm digging the black case with clip

Are there any real-life pictures of these cases? I'm looking for a slim case that will protect that is not the rubber/silicone.

I got the black silicon slip case, the dual-port car charger and the generic GPS cradle (I wish they'd hurry up and release the official docks).
The silicon case is choice. It's not too 'rubbery' so it doesn't stick to things like other cases have in the past. It is extremely smooth. It feels like the soft touch paint along the frame, and adds the perfect amount of weight to the phone. I applied the included screen protector (film), which took a bit of 'finger grease' to cut back on the friction. Now, it feels similar to the standard glass (which was smooth as silk, similar to the Vibrant).
The generic GPS cradle is decent. No charging ports, but it serves a purpose. Pity the Car Home app is a bit buggy and not as handy as stock 2.2's application.
I'll be first in line to pick up the official docks when they are launched.

So it is two cases? I don't follow... What are the clear cases with the kickstand? How much was that one?

That is the case I am using I may take more pictures of others later tonight It is a 2 part case has a thin rubber underlying which the plastic overlays on to make one case.

I really like that white case, almost bought it last night. I just couldn't see spending $30 on it, that should be $20 at most. Waiting on some ebay knockoffs.

I got the clear case with the grey grip on the sides and i put it on a blk and am happy about it. Even with the case its not too much bigger than an i phone but the screen is bigger and it is lighter.

I have this exact case and it's just amazing!! I love it!
Case also includes a full screen protector.

That is a sweet case. I used one from OtterBox for my N1 called a "commuter case" and this is just like it.
The MT4G fits nice and snug and is very well protected.
Well worth the $30 imo.

Anyone tried skins from SkinIt.com??

My girlfriend found a nice skin from skinit.com for her Captivate, but we were looking for some reviews or pictures of them on the phone before we tried it out. We have used Zagg before, and they were pretty good, but nothing special on an original iphone.
I did some searching but the only thing i have found so far was some 8 year old kid on youtube that doesn't even know what a colon is lol
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPXzsztRwg4

They're good. I made one for my N1 with bruce lee on the back. Looks nice.

thanks for the reply...i have had a few friends with the skins from there on other phones.
i'm hoping some people with the captivate could tell me how it fits and such.

They fit well, I didn't use the top or bottom part of back, just the part over the backplate. Front fits well but makes buttons a little difficult to push sometimes, I like it personally so none of my friends can use my phone correctly only me

The skins from SkinIt and decalgirl are great but those are the only 2 good ones. I tried three others and they sucked.lol So only go through those two.

I just made an awesome Tux (Penguin Mascot for Linux) Skin at UniqueSkins.com, and it came out great. Haven't tried skinit though.
Only problem is the front part of the skin isn't transparent around the front capacitive buttons so you can't see them. Luckily for me the skin is black, so I was able to leave off the front part with no problem. (Next skin I make, I am going to actually design the front to have the Armani logo over where the AT&T logo is and put the buttons on the skin image so I know where to cut them out with an exacto)

I got a skinit one time, and it was terrible and started peeling after a couple weeks

If I'm getting a skin, I'd want it because it's thin. The "gel" skin would just be annoying to me, especially because it would get in the way of fitting cases over it.
I've used skins from gelaskins (gelaskins.com) in the past and I was extremely satisfied. They also offer customized skins but have a lot of designs available from various artists. I'm probably going to be getting a skin type cover and I'll probably be ordering from gelaskins since I've had great experiences with them on my past devices.
Btw. You seem to like final fantasy. A lot.

Indeed I do like Final Fantasy as it is my favorite RPG series of all time, and it has been since the original. So as my favorite series in the whole world, I like to represent. Ya know what I mean? It's really no different than people who obsess over their favorite sports teams. Lol.
And I hear ya about wanting a thin device. The other 2 choices I listed for my examples are thin, adding zero bulk. The gels skins will add some bulk yes because of the gel, but the point of a skin decal is to look good while protecting the device all at the same time. The skins make your devices smudge proof, scratch proof, and nearly damage proof for the average consumer, especially for the gel skins because they are a little thicker and will hold up better.
If you do get a skin, please put it up here for us. Would love to see what kind of design you will cook up for your Xoom.

Cheaper skin

Really like it, just wanted something to protect the back from scratches when my Xoom was out of it's case.
Super thin vinyl with a slight faux leather look, check the close up pic at the bottom of the ebay link.

I haven't put the front on yet, waiting for my screen protector to arrives 1st.
I will look like this picture,same material and pattern (with the screen area cut out). The seller has many designs, i like the dragon one because it's pretty understated.

These are just pics from the gelaskins website (better than anything I'd end up taking), but this is what I got for mine:
I usually have my leather portfolio case on, but it's nice to have a little protection if I ever have it out or if something might possibly scratch it while in the case.
I also got this for my atrix:
Edit: I was just browsing the gelaskins website and it would seem they changed their website set up. They have some art that they have pre-designed the layout for the devices and others allow you to use the artwork in their create your own process. When you select the device, they have some categories off to the side and it starts with the most popular... I just wanted to point out that they have more artwork because I'd hate for someone to miss a design they like more than what shows up in the most popular.

Custom Backpanel Paint/Skin

Is there any site that sells custom painted backpanels or skins that sticks on the backpanels? And by custom, i mean either premade ones (but good ones) or letting me choose the design myself by uploading a photo etc.
It would preferably be painted backpanels with good quality car paint grade paint. It should also be able to ship to Turkey.
I'm thinking of matte black panel with a green or blue android logo on it. It would look great on the pebble blue version.

For skins, Decalgirl are very good quality. I've had one on my Kindle for over 18 months, it's used for several hours every day and the skin still looks brand new with no peeling or anything . Well worth going for the matte/satin finish option. Just had a look for you and they do ship to Turkey They also have a reseller programme so might be able to order from somewhere closer to you. The snag is that they haven't got any for the S3 yet.
Edit: they have a "suggest a device" form
Sent from my CM9 TouchPad

Thank you, they do look nice! There seems to be nice designs, but it'd be great if they let us customize the designs to our liking. Also, it's pretty much a given that they'll add the S3 to their collection, considering the popularity of the device.

You could try Plasti-dip spray. Its a rubber spray that is removable, if you want to restore the phone to stock. Not only will it make the phone more grippy, but will also protect it without increasing its thickness.
I think they ship worldwide, or have national websites in a number of countries. You can also get it on eBay. People even spray their cars with it for an instant and removable matt black look!

there is SkinIt
Zagg Personalized Skins
Unique Skins
I'm sure there are more, but I would go with the Zagg ones..
I have had SkinIt's before and there nice but provide no protection, at least with Zagg's you will have protection!

Just heard back from Decalgirl who said they would add the S3 to the list of devices to be discussed with their development team. So hopefully they might do them soon enough

Are the Zagg ones the same material they use on their normal skins, only printed with design? Because while they are really protective, i can't say i'm much of a fan of the feel.

MediaDevil Artisan Pouch Review

When I bought my nexus 5 I wanted a pouch, but really didn't find any to my liking . Last week I decided re-search and found a couple real good pouches, but really none what I had in mind. Then I came across a MediaDevil Artisan pouch, didn't really know what to think, like if it was going to be a cheap knock off or bad quality. As I looked into it I found out that this company makes very high quality pouches that I was never aware of. I decided to give it a shot based on amazing reviews. It came in a nice black gift like box and very professionally packaged . Has full grain leather with red stitching ( believe it comes in different colors), the phone fits perfectly in the pouch nice and snug. Not to tight and not to loose. It has micro fiber feel inside of it so when you slip you're phone it cleans the smudges and fingerprints. I would recommend this pouch to anyone who wants a nice look to there phone.
This is my first review so it might not detailed or organized in any way.

Thank you very much for this review dia_naji!
On your pictures I see you have the black with red stitching case, and inside you have a black phone?
On Media Devil's webpage it says that the black phone is different size to the white or red, therefore they sell cases for black and cases for white/red. And for the black phone there's only one option, grey with pink stitches, not my cup of tea. The case you show on your pictures is meant to be for the white/red phone only. When I first saw this I was sceptical at them, because both phones are the same size, only thing different is the plastic texture.
Can you or anyone else on this thread confirm that you're using a black case with a black phone? Despite the big red warning on Media Devil's website: http://mediadevil.com/us/artisanpouch-leather-pouch-case-google-nexus-5-by-lg.html
Thanks!

the difference, as I've been told by their employee, is the the material used inside, because of the texture difference and the material of the pull-out ribbon, as well as the size of the pull-out knob.

I thought it would be something like that....
My question remains, is anyone using the black case with a black phone? If so, any downfalls?

I asked Mediadevil about the difference between black and white/red nexus 5
Hi Marius,
I hope you are well and thanks for getting in touch.
The black and white Nexus 5 have a slightly different curvature, and as our cases are designed to fit very snugly to the device itself, this means that a black Nexus 5 will not fit into a case designed for a white Nexus 5. In addition, the black Nexus 5 has a soft-touch back as opposed to the harder plastic back of the white Nexus 5, which adds friction when it is being inserted and removed from the case, and we have also had to take this into consideration when designing a case for the black Nexus 5.
At the moment we are completely sold out of all colour combinations for the black Nexus 5 except for the slate/pink option, however we do have new cases in production, which should be available by the middle of March. I'm afraid I don't have a definite release date at the moment, however please feel free to get back in touch in a week or so, as we should be able to give you an update then!

Thanks very much for sharing this! Now that makes more sense. I think I'd rather wait for 2 or 3 weeks. I'll buy a cheap neoprene pouch case in the meanwhile.

I'm very interested in this leather pouch. But is this compatible with a tempered glass screen protector (0,30mm) AND with the toastMade (real wood) skin
I hope the pouch is not too tight for this? Or will it stretch over time? And what must I choose? Black or white/red version of the pouch, because Mediadevil said there is difference in size and material they use, but this is wood material so....???

Sorry to bump an old thread. I'm looking at this case for a Black Nexus 5.
Does this pouch cause the soft touch back to wear out from constant friction from inserting and removing the phone from the pouch? Especially near the bottom where the pull tab makes contact.
I had a similar type pouch for the Galaxy Nexus, and that worked fine for the plastic material on the phone. But seeing the Nexus 5 has a soft touch back I can see the friction causing wear. My Lenovo ThinkPad had a similar annoying issue as I found the rubberish soft finish was coming off from the sleeve I had it in.

Bump! Still would love to hear feedback from owners of this case. Just got my Nexus 5 and I'm looking for a nice pouch!

Well I have had mine for almost 3 weeks after reading this thread. I LOVE it. I got the gray/blue color and it looks great with my white n5. I use it hard and it has shown next to no wear in the 3 weeks I've had it. It is still as tight as the day I got it and wouldn't be able to be pulled out on it's own without the pull strap. Time will tell. Definitely no extra room for a TPU or similar case.
Side note: As pictured below, you can see one of the stitches wasn't tied off correctly and came undone just two days after using it. I think I curbed the unraveling by melting the end of the thread with a lighter. It hasn't moved since. I emailed Mediadevil through Amazon.com (where I made the purchase) and they had a new one out to me next day. Excellent customer service.
5 out of 5 stars would recommend to anyone.

Not a pouch person but this looks tempting
