Buy backcover locally? - Galaxy S III Accessories

Anyone know where i can buy a stock blue back cover locally (preferably sprint version)? I am looking to do a trade in at bestbuy (since they give alot for a good condition sprint s3-surprisingly since BB are usually crooks lol). I have some scratches on the back cover and think I might get more with a new back cover.
My first thought was craigslist but there are no backcovers listed.
If not locally anyone know whats the cheapest/quickest shipping blue sprint back cover that I can order?

ebay

Ebay or amazon are your only option. I bought ''oem'' from china, took about 2 weeks to arrive.

Could one put the back covers used by US operators on the international version of the S3?

Does anyone want to hook me up with a GS2

Hey does anyone have an extra galaxy s2 that they got from Tmobile retentions that they want to sell?
Desperately want this phone. It's so sexy! Finally made up my mind on getting the GS2 after debating between the HTC Amaze. Now i can't find one.

why don't you just get it from Telus on Friday
it's the same phone
and you can unlock it easily on any of those malls phone stands that does unlocking. (expecting darn telus like bell not releasing the unlock code for 3 months)
if you buy it from the US $529.99 + shipping + Canadian custom fees = the same price you buy it locally at $599.99 + tax
with the added benefit of easy exchange (and un-branded) in case we find any of those screen pixel errors people have reported, or worse case scenario this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1318972
the next best thing is to drive to the border go into a mall / tmobile store and buy it yourself
but... if you add the cost of GAS to go and come back... again it will add up to just about the same price, if you buy it locally.
LOL

Not being sarcastic. Did you try eBay or Craigslist. That's where I got mine.
Start a bounty thread.
I have nothing clever to put here. Sent from my: T-Mobile SGS2
well in a way it's a fair idea to get a good phone for less than retail value
but i very doubt any one would be willing to forgo their free upgrade/retention for less than $500
considering the phone only came out 2.5 week ago

Best place to buy GSM Galaxy Nexus?

I'm wanting to pick up the unlocked version of the Galaxy Nexus. I will never give Verizon a penny, and I've read it works on both ATT and TMobile 3g.
I was thinking Amazon, but I don't know how the warranty and things will work. So, for those people with the unlocked version, where did you buy it.

I bought mine from expansys. It came out to be like 585 I think. You should check it out.

You've got 5 minutes to buy from Daily Steals (above post)
I bought from Negri Electronics and it's been great.
In case you missed the dailysteal, try looking for on either eBay or Amazon. Try auction or whatever works for you. I won one auction for $585.05, so you should aim for that maximum amount. Or based on my calculation, you could wait another month or two and the price will go down to around $500. Good luck !
Got mine from Germany, Coated me about $538 with 2 cases and a screen protector.
If your in the states i order mines from Amazon.. choose One day Shipping.. got it the next. You could get free two day shipping also.. Its only $594
Click this link. All my friends bought theirs from these guys
If I had one bit of advice it'd be to discourage from buying on eBay or craigslist (or similar) if you at all care about warranty. I know it sucks and you'll hopefully never have to do it, but ordering from an importer will give you some peace of mind knowing you could send it in if you needed to. Importers have it for under $600 nowadays. Depends how much that's worth to you.

Good to know. Hopefully AT&T follows suit, as I'd like to convert my all white s3 into a candycane
It looks like CNN is carrying them as well and is, from what I've heard, a reputable seller. Lots of alternatives to choose from too.

I already ordered a pebble blue from ebay last night (int. version, only labeled samsung on back). To be honest not sure if it's legit but I'll let you know ones it gets here. Overseas so it would take about 10 days before I get it.

Sorry I never came back to this thread since there's a couple of other threads about oem back covers. It worked perfect and its legit. Now I want to get the white one since I tried my friends white back cover on mine and liked it. Here you can see the tmobile cover that came with the phone and the one I ordered from ebay.

Awesome thanks...
I had seen some of the other OEM threads, but they gave me pause because apparently some of the "OEM" covers are clearly cheap knockoffs ..

ive ordered from this place in the past takes awhile come from china but good parts
so did anyone got the covers from cnn.cn yet?

Anyone know where to buy the Pogo Desktop Dock?

Now that the Nexus 4 is out, it looks like Google is no longer selling the Galaxy Nexus pogo dock. Does anyone know where I should look without being charged an arm and a leg?

eBay, search the topic and you will find pages of discussions and attempts to find the docks from google and/or Samsung
Yeah haha ^
You will be charged an arm and a leg, though. And Verizon ones tend to be more expensive. The docks originally cost $90 new, and now people can sell theirs and make at least that, auctions on eBay can take it up to $120+ and they only pop up every few days.
Best bet is to pounce on a buy it now as soon as possible, then you'd only have to pay $80 or so. Just make sure it's the Verizon dock if you have the VZW GalNex and vice versa.

I am looking to get one too. I don't want to buy the one of ebay. Anyone willing to part with their GSM pogo dock if they aren't using it? I'll offer $40. Or any tips on where I can get a used one in working condition? Amazon doesn't have any, Play obviously doesn't have them on sale anymore. Found a few with bundles on swappa, but seller wouldn't sell it separately. Ebay as mentioned above is shipping from UK and it comes out to like $90 with shipping.

If you want one be ready to put up $90. I got lucky and found a new one for $85ish shipping from Japan
PM me if anyone is interested in getting a brand new one.
For GSM version only.
Cheers,
Tom

And that's where I got mine ^ recommend him highly!
I'm embarrassed at what I paid for mine, and that was a used one on ebay plus I had to modify it for the toro. I needed it though I've been using a dock on my phones every night for the past few years and wasn't about to give that up. Trust me, these things are damn near extinct and the people who have them know that.
MonoPrice has a nice adaptor for the Galaxy Nexus. I can't post links yet (under 10 posts), but it's product ID 9291
I was thinking about making a dock that uses the internals from that part.
I saw a Verizon Pogo dock going for $180 on eBay the other day... Ugh I hate price gougers...

Where to buy used android phones?

The title says it all. Where do you go to buy android phones now that the marketplace was shut down?

craigslist, ebay?
I have sold used phones on craigslist and ebay. Amazon has some refurbs too but not many Sprint.
Most of them end up on Craigslist or eBay anyway. Ebay if you don't want to meet the seller in some dark alley, Craigslist if you don't want to pay and wait for shipping.
Bummer I feel like the marketplace had the best deals

Where to buy used android phones
This 4.7 Inch S4 Smartphone Android 4.2 13.0MP Camera is a very nice phone and it arrived super fast. It worked right out of the box with my T-Mobile sim card. It is the equivalent to the Galaxy S3 international version so it's a little different but it works well. The only thing is the screen is VERY fragile and a drop from a few inches without a case will crack and spread across whole screen. Phone still works with cracked screen, but it sometimes now will shut off when it has a full charge. It's the equivalent to the Galaxy S3 however cases don't fit bought from eBay, they are too tight and hole for volume control was on opposite side on the case than on the phone.
