gel/hard case for the Evo. only had it for a week. dont want it cuz i want that 3500 mah battery! still in great condition. never dropped. 30(5 bucks cheaper from Sprint! includes Free shipping! lol
I don't think anyone will buy something that's referred to as dat badass
Bought a two piece incipio case about two weeks ago, in great condition, nothing wrong with it, but of coarse my parents didn't know and bought me the otterbox commuter case, which is basically the exact same thing, so I'm willing to let this go cheap, it's a great case, esp for about $13. PM for pictures. paypal only.
I would return it but of coarse Verizons great 14 day return policy bit me in the arse again.
Thanks guys.
I finally found a site, they are selling it for $30..

got a buyer, mod please close
I was in the market for a new case and came across this deal which I thought some of you might be interested in. Im not sure how long these will last but the rebate is only good for today, June 29th and tomorrow, June 30th.

It's $28, which is already a pretty good deal since it is still going for $60+ on Amazon but it also has a rebate for $24.99 which means you just have to pay shipping. I, like a lot of you, hate rebates but figure a stamp and 5 minutes of my time is wirth it. Newegg is in charge of this rebate and I always shop there so hopefully the rebate process is problem free.
Shipping is free if you have ShopRunner (which can be obtained for free if you have an AMEX)
Anyone know if there is a cheap case or alternative extended battery cover to put on so I can get a cheap case?
I Don't really want to blow 30 bucks on a seido specific cover and plus I want a white cover. I saw someone on ebay post something but wanted to know if anyone had a similar experience (cheaper alternative).
Anyone have experience with them to share?
I decided to go with the $5/month option for this phone purchase.
I'll do this and skip buying a case.
The Insurance says it covers the phone if you drop & break it.
$99 deductible I think?
I figure I'll have the phone for one year, which amounts to $60 paid in Insurance.
If I drop and break it anytime during that year, that'll be $100 deductible + $60 insurance spent and I get a replacement phone.
Heck, I've spent $100 on cases in just a single year before.
A $30 case here, then another $30 case there just to get a kickstand, then another $30 case there because I liked the new ones style better, etc. etc.
I think I'm done with cases and screen protectors.
I can tell you from personal experience - that means you'll have a phone with a slight scratch that's not worth paying $100 to replace but still really annoying to look at. Also if the pixel is even half as slippery as the nexus 6p was, you're going to want something w/ more grip on it.

I'll be using a Kickstand4U, so I don't really need to worry about slippery phones.
The kickstand sticks to the back of the phone and gives it a "bump" that works nicely when holding the phone.
And also the kickstand opens up with a "loop" that you can insert a finger into which is comfortable and makes it impossible to accidentally drop the phone.

The problem with Asurion which covers the replacement phone is that they always send back refurbs in most cases but not all it's a Gamble. Unless you claim a replacement within the first month or so where they have new replacement units to cover the initial claims.
Personally I put on an ultra thin tpu and glass screen protector and not worry. I carry my phone in front pocket.
I just ordered the XL (128GB), but skipped the Extended Care for $130. I read what it was before skipping, and it's basically an extended warranty for the second year. The first year is covered by Google, so for two years the phone would be covered for an additional $130. How may have either bought it, or skipped it, and/or had to use it if you did get it? Is it really worth it? For the cost I paid for the phone I plan on keeping it for at least five years as my usual yearly purchases have been low/mid ranged at around $200/$250 a pop, so I figured if I pay $1,000 for a phone, it should last the sum of my yearly purchases, and that way I don't feel bad paying so much since I justify it by paying $1,000 over five years either way. I'm just wondering what people think about the Extend Care for one more year of protection.
I always install a tempered glass screen protector and a TPU case immediately after unboxing my phones. In fact, I already have a new Spigen case sitting in my home office and the screen protectors should be here next week. I'm a nutcase about keeping my devices in 100% "like new" condition, mainly for resale.
However, if I didn't use a case/screen protector I would absolutely pay for the Preferred Care for that accidental damage coverage.
I'm very careful with my phone, and I keep it in a case also. My Incipio DualPro is on it's way as I type this. In all my years of having a phone (since getting a Nexus One on day one) I've never had to send one in for repairs. It's just now that I'm paying a grand I almost felt like I needed it, but once I read it only covered one more year, I skipped it. Thanks for your input.
Have had extended care on my daughter Nexus 5x and my Nexus 6P. The 5x boot looped twice, the first time replacement for the 5x was free. The second had to pay the deductible, and they shipped a brand new 5x not a refurb. My 6P boot looped and they offered a dollar amount or a Pixel XL. Went from a 64GB 6P to a 128GB Pixel XL.
Totally worth the extra $$ just for peace of mind.
Break the screen and you'll see how much you needed it. This phone has a glass back too. Definitely bought the insurance.
Extended warranties are insurance. Here's how insurance works: The insurer calculates the cost and probability that you will file a claim. They add a bunch on top of that for profit, and that's what you pay. So, as with any insurance, it's only worth it if you have much higher than average probability of filing a claim (you're a klutz), or you can't afford to replace it if you break it.
On the other hand, I understand there are folks who don't want to treat their phone like the $800 piece of glass that it is, and it's absolutely worth it to them.

Just making sure you're understanding it correctly. If you drop your phone and break the glass in the first year (or second year for that matter), you're not covered if you don't get extended care. The repair will be very expensive. It's not just an extra year of warranty.

I've never cracked a screen before. Always buy glass screen protectors and cases. How much is a screen repair? because if u do use the insurance its $130 for extended care plus a $130 deductable. If a screen repair is $250 ill take my chances lol vs $260 if I use it once.
Edit: Ubreakifix charges $220 for a screen replacement so I don't see the point. Unless your someone who breaks phones a ton. Wow so preferred care is $130 plus if u need to use it you pay a $130 deductible for the 3XL so a total cost of $260 for 1 screen repair if I break it once during ownership.

^ This is exactly what most people, who buy extended warranties, tend to overlook. There is still a deductible, even with the expensive extended warranty. And often times, as you've already discovered, the extended warranty + deductible actually cost more than just paying out of pocket for the repair.
However, one thing this does overlook is if you drop the phone and happen to crack both the back and the front. That's going to be an expensive repair that likely would have saved you money with the extended warranty.
Personally, I do DBrand skin for the back, then cover it with a TPU case, then install a full coverage glass screen protector. In total that cost is around ~$35 and provides all the protection I need for peace of mind, including protecting the back glass from getting scratched up from the case moving/rubbing over time (hence the DBrand skin).
google support/customer service with extended warr is far more pro customer is always right that most companies.
i had 3 nexus 6p replacement. the last was with a pixel xl. i had some ring tone issues on 8.1 and after a factory reset that did not solve my issue, they were ready to replace my new xl with a refurb xl. i can live with the issue which is very manageable and passed.
the extended warranty was extended for me by google. it was the best bargain that i have ever had.
i am not tech oriented and do not enjoy problem solving myself. i am on this site to get an over view from savvy users of the good, the bad and the ugly on the 3 and xl3. i am still happy with my xl, but enjoy window shopping
I'm awaiting a tempered glass protector and I have a Tech21 Evo Check already installed. I also use a Flygrip that makes it harder for me to drop the phone. This is especially good in clubs or bars where I may get bumped by some drunk unexpectedly.
I only dropped my Nexus 6 a few times. I had a tempered glass protector and a Ballistic case on it. I think the hottest was getting out if an SUV. It dropped face down into asphalt and phone everything was fine.
As for the extra year of warranty, I'll rely on the extra year if protection from Visa.
