[Q] Samsung Vibrant Armband

Anyone know of a good armband... thats not too expensive? I saw some on ebay for like $10 but they are all shipping from hongkong and i need it here fast since in going out of the country soon (three weeks) and i dnt wanna risk it dont get here before i leave...

If you like the one for $10 go for it, shipping this day and age doesn't take too long. I ordered a extended battery for my vibrant from HK and it came in 10 days. You can email the seller and ask him/her how long it should take because it depends on how long it takes him/her to email it.

The one from Arkon looks decent, and they're here in the US. www.arkon.com

does tmobile have armbands in the store? Planning to get one.

Free market, invisible hand, etc.
Terrible position we're in but them's the breaks.
Been looking for something to buy for my Vibrant... picked up an extended battery + covering earlier with some eBay bucks that were about to expire; think I'll look into an armband now too. I love the idea but the thought of things slipping scares the bejeezus out of me, haha.

hopefully T-Mobile have this, tired of holding my phone while running.

I use the spibelt for this. In fact I have for every cell phone I've owned. You'll have to add a dot com to this as I'm too new to post link or just search for it on your fav. search page.

The Galaxy Armband
I have been looking for an armband also. Has anyone heard of or tried the Galaxy Armband? They're a company in MN. I like what I see, but didn't see any reviews about it or enough product info.

Got my armband yesterday and tried it today and is fantastic... it has great screen sensibility... so you can play with ur phone while its in there... it stays real secure on there while you are runing... the only con is that it doesn't include the extra pocket for the extra headphone wore... but thats cool i can live with that and i mean what the hell $7 for an armband its pretty cool...

Cellphoneshop.net under samsung vibrant 4g

do you guys think that the iPhone 3g armband would fit our phones?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

Might try that out

it might fit but the screen portion might not be all visible since the screen is a bit bigger in our vibrants...

[Q] What rev is this FFC? Why is it so cheap?

The FFC I'm talking about is one I found on ebay.
Link:
ebay.ca/itm/OEM-Flex-Cable-Camera-5-0-Samsung-Galaxy-S-i9000-/130536251933?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1e6491221d#ht_2288wt_905
I'm thinking of buying it, since it's pretty cheap ($24). Is it worth it? I don't want any banding issues that are apparently common on the rev.1 camera.
I'm gonna be using it on the new MIUI which now has FFC support.

I bought two and are waiting for delivery. Will let you know once I get them installed.
Sent from my SGS-t959 using XDA Premium App

Alright, thanks a lot. It'll probably take a while to get to you so I guess it's best if you PM me once it arrives.

can you post a new link or the name of the seller?

The seller is cd_awesome. It was delivered but I am not home to test it yet.

I can't post links yet.

OK. I finally installed the ffc on two phones. Mine ran on malice 5.0 rom. The rear cam is bad (banding) and the front cam is good. My wife's phone runs on Revolution rom and the cameras are perfect. Not sure if it's the rom issue on mine but I will try the other rom.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App

I installed same rom as the wife 's but rear camera banding is still there. Maybe someone can help.
Updates:
OK, mine cameras say V.02....
similar to http://www.globaldirectparts.com/Samsung-Galaxy-S-i9000-Camera-p/smsng6087125.htm
I'm convinced I got one good, one bad....Swapping the cams from one phone to another confirmed that.
could they be cheap because they are rejects from mfr? And that could explain why the banding happened to most people? I'm happy that I got one good one.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App

you most likely got the first version that's why it was so cheap. The rev2 cams are made for the sgs4g I think. I would ask for a refund if they are selling as a rev2 cam. Hell i'll sell you mine for $20 shipped.

Where can i get the headset that came with Gnex?

Hi, I liked the headset a lot but unfortunately one of the muffs lost
So my question is if I can get a new pair of them. I'm willing to pay 25$
Thanks!
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

get them direct from samsung is probably the best option, many online sellers will give you the gs2 version which does not work properly.
if you just loss the muffs, all you need to do is buy a new set of muff, they are pretty cheap.

Okay, i search and found this. http://cdon.se/hemelektronik/samsun...er&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=pricerunner_se

samsung made the headphones for the gnexus differently, this is also the same with the nexus s.

I see nothing wrong with it from the specs on the page. Looks like something you should be happy with. Price is good enough if you do hate it though. So even though I don't own one I think you did OK...

I have the same one. Its cheap but it works great. My Tab spends most of it time in a dock on my desk but this case works great for a quick trip to the coffee shop. It slips in quick and easy and comes out just as easy. You made a good purchase. For under twenty bucks you won't be dissapointed

Both of you I thank you very much I'm very happy to hear from someone who owns one I'm still waiting for it to turn up I just wanted a case that i could slap on and the stand is a major plus thanks again guys

I have the first one listed on this page. You can find some great reviews in this section of the forum here too.
Just look for the pyroskins clip case thread. Almost all great reviews. Low prices and fast shipping even to countries other than the USA.
Had you not already purchased before posting I would have pointed you here. I still think you did fine with the one you choose. Durability and good construction would be my only concern, since you can't see that in pictures.

Lifeproof Case on eBay?

I've seen a bunch of threads regarding that the Lifeproof cases aren't out yet... But on eBay there are a few cases for sale. I'm guessing these are fake but the pictures look pretty legit. Any experience with these? I'm still new so I can't post links but if you type in "S3 Lifeproof" on eBay it should pop up.

Their fake.

Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2

I was about to start a thread and remembered there already was one. So since this thread I've noticed a large increase in the number of fake lifeproof's, I'm assuming some company in china got the specs and started making replicas. Looks like the prices are in the $40 to $50 range, so who's going to be the guinea pig and buy one? Part of me wants to try it since the real lifeproof cases cost $80, but another part of me thinks that its stupid to spend $50 on something that could be complete crap. Especially if it ships from china or hong kong, if I don't like it I'd have to pay the shipping all the way back. Plus I'd have to wait 3 weeks just to get it and possibly another 3 weeks to get the refund........
Anybody want to sponsor me? I'll put a big pictorial and detailed review?:laugh:

LifeProof
I'll be ordering one from a US Seller for a slightly higher markup. I can post a video review on Youtube, and here as well. I'll get it some time next week, as I'll probably order it with my birthday money or when my paycheck comes in. And hey, if you want to push $5 towards the cause, I wouldn't be opposed They look exactly like the iPhone version, even down to the packaging and colors available. one seller even mentioned that they aren't LifeProof branded, but had a 1 month return/refund/warrenty. In addition, Paypal and my bank offer a certain amount of time to make sure a product actually works (3 or 6 months, I think). I'm game for giving it a shot!
I imagine that the install would be the same as for an iPhone... and I'd want to check the seals BEFORE installing my phone... that'd be really sad.

Found it but it's not on lifeproof website.

Right, that's the whole point of this entire thread. These are FAKE or replicas or whatever you want to call them, that's why this thread got started. That's why they only cost $40 to $50 dollars. That's why some of them are from CHINA. I think I'll probably end up buying one of these once I find a white one that's being sold here in the US. I know they all are probably being made in the same place in Hong Kong or somewhere but I don't see any reason to order something and wait for a month for it to get here.

I didn't even know this one existed. I'll have to look into it. I take it you're happy with the case? Is touch sensitivity okay? I had the OBEX for a week and hated it. I like to five and would like to have something I can take on the boat with me that I don't have to worry about getting banned around or splashed. I have no intentions of actually taking it into the water.
