Being a pda freak, I'm always looking for a better device. Having just sold my JAM, I am inclined to switch to the HTC Universal-based model. However, being unlucky to be based in Kazakhstan (the notorius "Stan"!), I have found it very difficult to talk to the online stores such as eXpansys or MobilePlanet. They simply do not make deliveries to this region.
However, I found this website, www.qtekuk.com which, after I wrote to them, responded that they would be able to deliver to Kazakhstan.
My quesiton is, has anyone dealt/heard of these guys? I need a second opinion before I make a money transfer.
Replies at soonest are much appreciated as I need to make up my mind (there is one guy in town waiting to sell me the item but his price is not as attractive).
Thanks and regards
Try some other sellers too.
Hi I noticed you didn't get answer yet to your question. I can't tell much about that,but my advice would be ,that if you're planning to buy a gadget like that,you could also spend a few extra dollars and actualy call them to make an idea about the company. Also,read throughout the forum and you'll find a lot of sellers especialy in uk from whitch people bought already.
Good luck.
qtekuk.com = SDD
"qtekuk.com" are none other than SmartDevicesDirect. I don't know if they have become the official distributor in the UK, or if the domain and site are just designed to look that way. (qtek.co.uk still redirects to agbglobal, Qtek's parent company).
Search the forum if you want other people's experiences of them (good and bad). Personally I prefer not to put my trust in companies that use mulitple identities, or that charge credit cards up front for stock they haven't got. Plus I hate web sites that play cheesy music as soon as you land on their home page. YM, of course, MV.
Hey striker_69, sorry I missed your post before. I would say don't bother with this firm. £610 is outrageously expensive. You could buy one from someone trustworthy on eBay for around £150-200 LESS than that. Since you are in Kazakhstan you would need to pay via bank transfer probably (a lot of PayPal fraud occurs in Eastern Europe and also in India, Thailand, nigeria, etc as I am sure you are aware).
Hmm, can't really comment, but after seeing that guy on the intro to their site, well, 'I wouldn't buy a used car from him!'
Hope it works out for you

I sent 'em an email about 4 days ago... this was their response:
"We do not have any information if a case will be made at this time for that device, but it is something that has been requested. I have submitted a product suggestion on your behalf, and recommend keeping an eye on our website, as it will have the most up to date information on any new releases that we may have."
Wow thanks maybe I should call and email as well. Hopefully they will get the hint and make it happen.
Word murder provided by vibrant sgs
Yeah def. to anyone who reads this thread head over to otterbox.com and send em an email saying you'd like a case made. They make high quality stuff.
Never had an Otterbox case but i know they are thick. And pricey.
Just replied. And as pricy as they are look up on youtube. Otterbox car and iphone. A friggin car runs over an iFail and the phone stays in tact. Its super restive from what i heard and also i hear the build quality is AMAZING! As thick as it is its worth it. Plus OG smartphones are thick arent they? Not only will it pretect it itll make your anerexic vibrant into a smartphone
Yee!
This is what they replied: Thank you for contacting Otter Products, LLC Customer Support.
Your request for assistance has been received. Case #157586 - "Samsung Galaxy S" has been created for you. A member of our customer care team will respond to your case as soon as possible.
Just sent them the following email,
Hi, I am emailing you in regards to the International and US carrier specific versions of the Samsung Galaxy S series phones. I'm just asserting my interest in purchasing a Defender series case if you were to launch a line for the Galaxy S.
In my opinion, I believe the Galaxy S series phones to be a good investment for a high end phone case manufacturer such as yourself. My opinion is due largely to the sheer number of phones that have been sold already; since launch totaling over 1 million units. Also, I've found a large percentage of the international variant of the Galaxy S were bought outright with out carrier subsidy, and with prices ranging from $599-800 on average I would imagine that most of those people would want to amply protect their investment with a ruggedized case such as yours. Another advantage to the series is that the International and US Carrier specific versions of the phone are very similar in form factor, thus minimal retooling and design changes would be necessary to make the case work with two of the US carriers, and with the International version to a certain degree. In actuality, the US specific versions such as T-Mobile Vibrant and Verizon Fascinate are practically identical externally and the capacitive touch buttons on the face of the phone will, I trust, lend themselves well to the simple and robust protection that the Defender series can provide. Honestly, after seeing the success you've had with the design of the hardware "Home" button on the face of the iPhone cases, I could see something very similar as easy to implement for the international version of the Galaxy S.
Although I believe that the other two US carrier specific versions of the phone would be less profitable to design a Defender series case due to their irregular shape and slider design respectively, I think they would still lend themselves well to the commuter, impact, or tandem line of cases.
Sorry if I seem to ramble on, but I'm very excited to see an offering from Otterbox for the Galaxy S line, and I see it as a great opportunity for you the manufacturer and I the consumer to be mutually benefited by a superbly designed and executed case offering from your company.
Thank you for your consideration and for giving me the outlet to express my desire to protect my beloved Samsung Vibrant with your case offerings. Thanks again.

Come on guys, lay it on thick.
This is can be a great case to protect our $199-$599 investments,
and we're the ones that have to convince Otterbox that this case needs to be made!
So bump it up to the top!

I got the same response.

Just sent them a message too. I waited forever to see a US release for the HD2 but it never happened. I hope something shows up for the Vibrant.
I mailed them too.
Got the same cookie cutter responce everyone else has.
I have a feeling they will cave in and make one....but it might take some time for it to show up

I did the same and got the same CANNED reply.
Send 'em more messages people!
Just sent a message. I will also make a post on the other forums I frequent, asking everyone to send Otterbox a message.
I hope they'll heed our requests for a case. I really like the quality of the iPhone cases they make.

Subject: Samsung Vibrant
Do you have any plans on making a commuter case for the samsung vibrant? Thanks.
Got an email back from them today:
We are currently working on a case for this device. I recommend keeping an eye on our website or Facebook page where we will be sure to post more information as soon as it is available. Generally it takes approximately 2-4 months for a case to developed once a device is released to the public. Customer Service finds out about new case releases the moment they are posted to the website
I was just checking their website yesterday to see if they've come out yet. They are at the end of their "development" time. Didn't take long for the bastards to come out with a Captivate case.
Seems like my reply on the pre-existing docking thread is unnoticed. Here we go again.
The long awaited product has been manufactured from japan... well new users can't post links so search up for thanko xperia cradle.. or search for this model number CREXP2BK. Thanko, a japan company has manufactured a cradle for xperia. Have anyone bought it yet? reviews?
looks promising ... if the build in akku is any good
ps: waiting for your review guys^^
I've checked japan amazon reviews and everyone gave it just one star so looks like it's pretty crap

No white version? Screw that
Whats up, guys?!
So, I came across this awesome product recently and decided to share it with you guys.
Anyone looking for a really different yet convenient way to carry their phone, check out the video below and be amazed!
I was really surprised about the product and have already ordered mine. I think its a very clever and yet safe way of carrying your device & wallet. It's a pertty badass way of carrying everything you need. Several holster sizes are available and LD West provides a really nice chart where you can check your phone model and it tells you which size will work for you. iPhone, OnePlus One, Samsung, HTC and even BlackBerry devices are in that chart.
Just keep in mind that this product is of very high quality and not common at all, check it out and lets see how many people like it. This product does ship internationally to selected countries which are available in the checkout section. Hope some people like this information!
If any of you are convinced and decide to get this, you can email [email protected] stating that you saw this post and they will provide a $5 discount code.
Mentioning the XDA Forums when placing your order(This can be done in the Notes/Comment sections at checkout) will be greatly appreciated. Cheers!

Hello,
I've been reading the discussion board, followed many guides and gone through many reviews for years, but did not need to register so far. This is actually my first post, thus I hope it is okay to ask for this specific help right here. If not, my apologize. I did not know where else to place this question.
Well, I would like to buy a phone case that I was not able to find anywhere else but in Serbian e-shops (weird, right?). None of the sellers, however, agrees with shipping it abroad. I live in the Czech Republic, though. May I ask any fellow user living in Serbia to help me out with this problem? I will, of course, pay you beforehand and will cover all the shipping costs. Or is there any post forwarding company in Serbia?
Thank you.
Hello there,
Can't help you with your issue, but I am curios what case is worth shipping from Serbia!
Could you share a link with us? (probably you'll have to split it so that it is picked up as normal text because you're new around here)
Thanks!
Well, nothing special actually. It's just a flip case for a long long discontinued phone. I have recently found a forgotten BNIB Nokia N86 in the drawer and decided to use it as my secondary (=work) phone. And I would like it to stay in this great condition as long as possible. When searching for the protection, I came across this nice looking Capdase Leather Case for N86. They seem to be out of stock in all stores, but the Serbian ones.
