Spare phone parts from overseas

Hi everyone. Please recommend your best sites to get some original spare phone parts. Looking for a reliable and efficient CS as well. I'm located in France. Looks like there are lots of companies from HK to get what I need. Question is if someone out there tried one of them yet. With what results (quality, shipping, CS...)?
Thx in advance for pieces of advice.

I've bought a bunch of stuff from China and it's usually of very low quality..Yes, almost everything we buy noadays is made in china, but the knock off stuff coming from china is crap. I'd try to find a US seller. Yes, Europeans don't really care for American's but we make good stuff..lol
Alot of the china stuff will break very easy and it takes in exces of 4 weeks to get your order.
Stay away..lol

X2.... Bad quality in china

I've ordered spare parts for an old phone before through ebay (one of those being a screen for a Sony W580i) and they've all come from china or hong kong. Everything i've ordered has come in a week or two of ordering and while the pieces were cheap.. they got my device working again! ($20 for a new screen (with shipping) as opposed to $50 insurance deductible)

I feel lucky! I've bought some TPU case for my iphone 4g from China .And it is cheap but high quality..lol

I'd like to add eBay's a fairly reliable source of parts so long as you read the sellers' bad feedback first - if the quality is poor people will say so...
Got a lot of OEM stuff from china no major issues - minor ones dealt with very efficiently.
HTH!
M.S

Thanks, guys. However, I decided to give a try to one of those HK based companies I heard great words from, CNN.cn . I've just received the parcel at the end of last week, thanks to their fast delivery shipping option. Took only 5 days since the order was done.
I must say that quality of the goods is far beyond what most of people think when buying from China. I guess we all have to pay attention to where we order, that's why forums like this one are useful for everybody. I'm not disappointed with my bezels, housings, keypads... So I definitely recommend them to those who seek for quality items along with a careful customer service. And they speak French as well, what is a real plus.

I don't know if you guys are aware of this, but in case not and if you're interested, CNN.cn offer permanent discounts for professionals and those who order over a certain amount. Can help.

Anymode Case

Anyone seen this?
http://www.anymode.net/goods/view.php?goodsno=12346934
I would be all over it if it didn't put the tablet upside-down when in the typing angle.

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

eeeeek $25 for this !
i'd take an Anymode anyday instead (!)

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.

The light bar is transparent, you can see right through it.

Three lights are located at the top center of transparent piece. so it should light up front and back evenly.

Went to T-Mobile, AT&T and Verizon retail stores today looking for a universal case that would hold this device and none of them had one!
This cannot possibly be the only 5" device on the market. Pathetic selection. What kind of business model doesn't have accessories to support the devices they provide?

I totally agree with what you say and unfortunately we have to wait till it becomes more avaiblable in the US. If we were in Europe or else where it would be easier.
All the stores like ATT tMobile, etc. in the US are garbage and useless. Unfortunately this is how it is here.

Nimche, you don't know how it is here in Brazil... Hahaha. Anyway, yes, having no support on a product you bought... really sucks.
I had one of the FEW Sony Ericsson Satio that were sold in Brazil, and trust me... A Nissan Pathfinder went over it, and the cellphone was still working perfectly, but obviously over asphalt the screen got cracked... There was NO Sony Ericsson retailers that had the screen, and only to fix it, it'd cost me 1/3 of the price of the device...
Anyways, I'm receiving a hard case from Handtec with my order. You can get the hard case here: handtec.co.uk/product.php/6407/sony-xperia-s-shell-case---black

i like Tpu case

Yes, I feel what you say as well. No wonder here in the US people like to get iPhone alot because you go to store and buy the darn thing with all the accessories you want and even WindowsMobile you could go to MS store and get it but Sony with all the power it has is like Sh*t. You go to store, you find the most useless people on the planet to work there, they have no clue what they are selling and no information of what is coming. Every time I go there, I have to surprise them with new Sony's technology.
That hard case is like the original Sony branded (website didn't fully work) but I think Clove at UK and Expansys USA will start selling them too Expansys USA
I like the blue one tho.

Case on Ebay

I am going to be ordering the Nillikin case for this. Only a tenner and happy to wait the couple of weeks it will take from china. Nillikin have good reviews so I think this could be a winner. I cannot post links yet but it is item number 160760327876 on eBay UK for a pictures
EDIT: Blimey, I should have clicked on the link in the post above, that is exactly the case I ordered. Will let you know how it feels if it comes before anyone else gets it

@alsaqr I like the blue one a lot!! It looks pretty good and should be very comfortable holding in hand.

Just wondering if anyone has done business with them and how it went? Their prices are ridiculously low and i'm tempted to make a purchase from them but would like to hear some feedback before doing so.

Looks like they're a division of Alibaba.com. They basically make cheap chinese knockoffs and sell them dirt cheap. Been doing it for years, and they're a HUGE company.

Hmm, well for $7.35 shipped, I may just try that holder then

Aliexpress is the smaller e-commerce arm of AliBaba. Alibaba is the biggest B2B companies in China.
It is like the ebay for big boys. They sell 1 piece to 10000000 pieces. However, there is a lot of fake stuff there.

Def not ordering anything I'd be concerned with getting a counterfeit of. I'm just looking at a vent holder, nothing special.

I have used Aliexpress and DHgate.com to sell things here in Dominican Republic. The shipping takes almost one month to get here so don't buy things that you need asap.
Keep yourself away from buying Memory Cards or Hard Drives, almost always are fake or have less capacity than listed.
IMHO dhgate > aliexpress.

What's the link to the holder?

if the price is ridiculously low, you should pay attention with it. Check seller's feedback info. By the way ,you can't Pay with Paypal on Aliexpress. If you wish to buy with Paypal, try www .beltal. com/compares, it claim "Shop All Dhgate/Aliexpress Items 2-15% off with Paypal & Beltal Escrow service. "

"Free-shipping-Wholesale-New-2500mah-Extended-Battery-For-Samsung-Galaxy-S3-SIII-i9300" ( sorry i can't yet insert links in my posts )
I am tempted to order that ( hope i won't fry my phone)... Anyone has an opinion on them or an advice?

Worth trying, I wanted to see what you get. Please let me know if it is ok. I'm gonna got one if it is ok.

the price in the morning was at 98£, they had already sold ~15 items, now it's at 78£
what do u think guys?? seems like something is fishy here right? ... not to mention, shipping from Hong Kong

If it sounds too good to be true...
I wouldn't bother to avoid the disappointment

$122 US
That's quite a deal and tempting and now sold 42, wishing for some kind of verification it's legit.

All of his feedback as a seller are for nothing more than like $50. 15 feedback, of unrelated items to technology. Where does one magically get 80+ of these. And can sell them for half of what they sell for AND make a profit...
Look at some of their previous purchases.
Too fishy for me to order the Calimare this time around.

Location is Hong Kong. Almost guarantee that it's a fake.

anything coming from Hong Kong should always be approached with caution. Now Ebay does have rules again st selling counterfeit items, to the point that if caught the entire account will be disabled. Kinda Worth the risk at the price, just make sure you are not spending your rent money on it.
Alot like gambling IMO, you could get the legit thing at a great price, but also keep in mind its cheap enough to just order straight from Google, if you want to be 100% sure.

So people,
Looks like our doubts have been confirmed. The listing has now been removed from eBay.
You were just too good to be true.
