[Q] Samsung Vibrant Back Cover

Hey,
I was wondering if some one was willing to part with their additional backplate (for $ of course). The tmobile bag with my box and accessories was stolen out of my car and I didn't think I would need another as I'm usually good with phones. Unfortunately, last night it fell out of my purse, hitting the curb at a weird angle, cracking the backplate. If no one is willing to sell one, could you give any links to somewhere to buy a replacement?
Thanks

It's 20 Canadians on bell's website http://www.bell.ca/shopping/PrsShpWls_PrdAccList.page?currentPageIndex=0&phoneSku=70269

You can only buy it if you live in Canada, which I don't

You can look around eBay and see if somebody is selling any of them. I think I've seen some carbon fiber ones being sold, not exactly the stock one but it'll be a backcover.
Somebody linked this in another thread: http://cgi.ebay.com/New-Genuine-Sam...Fascias_JN&hash=item5194bdfde4#ht_1508wt_1137 It's the I9000 version so I don't know if it'll fit, but most likely it will. Same back cover but has "with Google" on it. Imported from the UK

The i9000 back plate IS identical to the Vibrant's.

I have a few posts in this section on this as soon as someone comes out with some back covers i will be all over them. I want some white ones ones with designs.

I'm really surprised that T-Mobile hasn't launched any additional patterned backs for this phone, considering it's their current Flagship phone.

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...

Anymode Case

Anyone seen this?

Id take one right now. I wonder where to order to get it shipped to the US

I want one too. Anyone translate for a group buy, maybe?

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.

Seidio Surface case/holster?

I had a Seidio Surface case/holster combo for my previous phone and it was my favorite case. I wanted to get one for the Galaxy S2, but Seidio doesn't make one for the T-Mobile version. It's available for all other flavors of the Galaxy S2... just the T-Mobile version has been left out.
I wrote to them asking if they had plans to produce one in the future, but I can't get a straightforward answer from them. They just point me to their existing products for this phone. I was hoping that if there were enough people showing interest in this phone case, they'd consider adding it to their lineup. If you've got a couple of minutes and you'd like to see it happen, please consider contacting them about it.

The Active is a more rugged and bulkier case than the Surface. I've never had an Active case, but I wanted something like the Surface case that I could slip into my pocket or use the holster as needed.
I can't post outside links yet, but if you look at the Samsung Epic 4G Touch category on their site, that phone has both cases available for it. It should give you a good idea of what the Surface case should look like for the T-Mobile version of the phone.

Expansys selling a FULL white Gnex? Fake?

Exactly as said above, the entire Galaxy Nexus seems to be white, the digitialzer (which was always black before) is white also. Looks like a choppy image however, anyone bought it/planning on getting it and able to post pics?

Expansys is a very well known website looks legit to me. You can always call to make sure its not an error/inaccurate picture.

Don't think this phone exists... I feel like they just accidentally took one of the photos that was made when the first rumors of the white model came out.

It may or may not exist. They could have colored it themselves, and are selling it off as completely white, or it's like martonikaj said.

Do not check "yes this is a question" unless you are posting in Q&A.
I took the [Q] out of the title since this is a more general topic
Thanks

We definitely did not color it ourselves However, we are discontinuing them. Have a few more than backordered on the way in, but then we wont be offering them anymore.

Hi Corey, thanks for responding.
Just curious, where did you get fully white GNs? I thought they were never manufactured? Is this the work of a third party custom job?

it says the item is discontinued to me

If you check YouTube, you'll see several reviews of full-white Gnex's. It's legit, apparently.

We get them from a few different suppliers actually. I've never opened one myself. It will be back live on the site shortly, for the few remaining ones. We bought a large amount on a closeout, and then got enough to cover our orders + a few extra. Seems someone discontinued it a bit to early so we fixed it. Will come back online soon.

I wonder who made them. They must be custom built... right?

White case, black face
I'm looking right this second at the white GN I bought from Expansys. The body of the phone is white (and gorgeous, might I add), while the front face is black. The photo on Expansys showed an entirely white phone, but I just assumed it was an incorrect photo. (And I was right.)
And, for what it's worth, it came with a UK (I believe? Definitely not standard USA) charger, and an adapter to fit it into a standard USA outlet.
Since it looks like one of the Expansys fellas is in this thread, thanks a lot. Really enjoying my purchase :]

I'm glad my purchase served a greater purpose than simply satisfying my annual gadget refresh compulsion :]
The photo on their page really is sort of confusing. But, given how many black-and-white shots and reviews I saw, I sort of went with Occum's Razor.
Really minor point, but definitely one that confused me for a bit too.

FWIW...I just ordered one the other day and it is white body with black face. I was hoping for something unique. But oh well. Still a pretty phone.

Awwww I was pretty excited as well.
Oh well, just buy a white skin and it'll look the same.
