Hi guys, I've seen a whole bunch of you guys talking about the Akiba bumper cases, and it looks like it's the best of the bunch.
Unfortunately it seems almost impossible to use any of the Taiwanese websites to order one from Canada.
Could anyone point me in the right direction in looking for one? Maybe some websites I don't know about?

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

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.

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...

I previously had one on my iPhone 4.. until it stopped blocking my signal. at least it was only a fiver -.-
Recently i bought a galaxy nexus, and now i want the same type of case, but I don't believe its worth the asking price on eBay..
So does anyone know where i might find it else where? and not at a stupid price?
ps.. sorry if this should be in the Q&A's section.. as you can tell im new haha

Just got out the car and dropped my phone.. dented the bumper around the bottom edge! so im in desperate need of a case.. to protect it and hide its wounds :/
Can anyone recommend anything that could offer some good protection, not add much to the size and keep the phone looking slick?
Cheers!
PS Im from the UK, so any cases need to be ok for shipping to me!
This is my case and it is the most slick case I've ever used, offers 8.5/10 protection and has a built in kickstand for quiet cheap. Its double layer and quite nice and pretty. I suggest not getting g the red version cause it looks a tad pink but black is a total go.

Hello all,
I have seen/heard many things about the double-dip case for the HTC One (which I'm picking up next week!), however I am trying to find & buy the black/grey/black double dip case and can't find it anywhere! If anyone can point me in the right direction, that would me much appreciated.
Also, does it even exist/is it out yet? Almost everywhere I look I only see the red/white/black one, but on HTC's official site, the 4th picture accross shows the one I'm looking for.
Again, any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

I did read here on the forums that some people's phones were scratched because of it, but that the cause was remnant plastic from the speaker grill holes.
Also, I don't think it is too badly overpriced. Maybe by $5. Most of the other slim cases sell for around $20.

The HTC One itself does bear striking similarities (and I'm getting the black one, so even more so) to the iPhone 5 already, I don't really mind that. After all, everyone tries to copy the iphone in some way or another. Just look at Samsung. Plus, the case is basically the same as the back of the phone itself. Just a little added protection .
I have double dip case and it hasn't scratched my phone. Picking up the case-mate tough case to go with all the others I have. It's an addiction!

I haven't seen all the colors from the official HTC site so I was the wondering what the build quality is.
I'll give it ago anyways. Thanks for the same eBay link, I live in Australia so its very helpful!
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 4 Beta
So I bought the grey/black one from that seller. Build quality seems solid. I have never played around with the red/black/grey one so I can't compare.
Fit was snug but no scratches. Volume buttons are a bigger pain then without the case which says something since they already weren't that great. Everything else seems pretty good. I like that it doesn't add much bulk to the phone.
Won the auction on the 19th (Friday) and received the cover on the 30th (Tuesday). Not bad considering it was an international delivery.
Let me know if you have any questions.

They could have split the battery, part in the front and part in the rear around the phone. Having said that, it seems more likely that it isn't actually 3800 at that thickness.
This one look very tempting too!

Looks awesome. I would certainly buy it, but since its a replica, its not worth the $20 to produce hence it wont last as long as I would like it to.
Overprice. Another month and it gonna be around $10
Its all over aliexpress for much cheaper. Like $3.50 to $15 depending on the seller and how many you buy. There do seem to be different kinds of bumpers on there for the nexus 5, and the nexus 4 clone is the more expensive one.

I don't think replicas are worth being over $10 before shipping. With it being a bumper and not a case, even more so.
For me, $8 - $9 with shipping included is probably the highest I'd go.
I got this in the mail from the amazon seller today. I'm very impressed with it. The buttons feel great and the texture on the rubbery parts is very grippy.
