Don't know of any stores in SA as I am in Australia, but if you vote on the link specified in this thread;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1051130
then Casemate may decide to make the case and you could then order it online

I had a xoom and sold it for the tab, The tab fits in xoom case i have, the camera cutouts on the back are wrong but at least its protected.
This is the case i have.

I have the same issue. Samsung South Africa dont even have the device yet. They are expecting it this month.
In terms of accessories, i have also looked around like a nutter, and i cant find anything.
An Incredible corruptions store in Eastgate said they should be getting this week. I will be checking tomorrow as its Friday.

Thanks, still no luck. Phoned Vodashop vodaworld again today,still nothing. Let me know about eastgate.

mine came with a case and it's pretty awesome, better than any aftermarket case that i've seen

Any of you guys from SA find a case???
I've had my tab for 3 weeks now and I still can't find anything. Got some family in the UK - seriously thinking about getting a few from ebay.co.uk and getting them shipped here.

Hi guys,
It fits in an Ipad 1 case. Needs cutouts for power and camera though.

Still no luck for me, Vodaphone shop said they would contact me when they do arrive. Very frustrating, they never seem to get it right in SA.

Saw a tweet from Samsungmobilesa that vodashop's should have accesories available mid June.

Did a few stops today while I was out; IC Eastgate say they will get stock next week, IC Greenstone say they have no clue when stock is arriving. So I popped in at Vodaworld; The Vodashop recons 4 - 6 weeks until they expect stock and the Samsung Mobile guys say that they have yet to get their hands on the device never mind the accessories....
have2have has got a cover listed for around R320. Only thing is that there is 7 - 14 days for delivery... placed the order and now I wait

So far the service has been awesome. They email you every step of the order; I know that the package is now waiting to go to Washington Dulles Airport as soon as they finish the customs paperwork...

I had just made an order on ebay for a case....
Will update when it reaches...
Some cool cases that I come across too in China, but no idea on quality.
At least it is made specifically for the 10.1v!

Let us know how it is please

Yes please do let us know!
Also in SA, and have been searching for a case since I got the tab 10.1v.
But now since Vodafone has dropped/discontinued the V version, i'm a sad panda because it means that 10.1V accessories (or at least a case) will be VERY rare...
so if we can get at least 1 good case somewhere it will help us early adopters a lot
looking forward to your feedback (and thanks all for the links so far!)

ok, seeing as no one has either received their imported cases yet, or no one actually cares to reply... heres an update after we did some research the last couple of days.
(also posted on AndroidZA)
decided to import a case, seeing that it is pretty much the only option...
Apart from the importing fact, we also have just about 2 options of cases
I settled on this one from amazon uk : goo.gl/mbHcJ
They estimate about 3 weeks for delivery so we'll see... at least its quite cheap (though shipping isnt...)
Saw that Have2Have advertises a similar case (goo.gl/3bboh), but called them and their US supplier doesnt have stock, so thats a fail.
But here is another viable option, though it is VERY expensive, but looks gooood...
goo.gl/TjDtg
hope it helps someone. i'll update once i get that case.
[edit: sorry about the links, cannot post links yet apparently - so just copy & paste the goo.gl links into the browser]

case from ebay...
hey people,
the case i had ordered from ebay arrived and here are pictures of it.
fits the ports really well, meaning that i can use all my ports.
microfiber material but feels not as nice as the apple one.
am quite happy even though it is a little loose (due to the material being slightly stretchable). can stand too!
pictures!

Thanks, how much did it cost, and when did you you order it? It looks decent enough and we cant really afford to complain, except for the fact that I really would like a screenguard for the tablet as well.

Case Mate Tough case doesn't fit correctly. Good results

I had bought a Case Mate Tough skin case for my phone, and it's had a lot of issues with the power button fit, it would turn off and on by touching the area anywhere near it. I looked around case-mate.com and noticed this case is not on their website, so I contacted Case Mate and they say it's a known issue, and are going to ship me a new one when they come in sometime during in the next 2-4 weeks.. Good customer relations.

That's fantastic news! Where did you say you got it from? Or did they not ask?

They asked for my order number, I told them I didn't buy it online, that I bought it from a retailer.

Bummer. I disliked mine so much i tossed it in the trash LOL.

yeah I was pissed.. I had one on my last phone, (Nexus 1) and it was amazing. I dropped my phone several times and it never had a scratch. Sabooher - contact them, they didn't ask for me to send mine back, or see a receipt..

Not even sure i would want a replacement. LOL The plastic part of the case is great. Its the silicone part that sucks. I learned my lesson this time.

Got this email today from them:
Hello,
Thank you for contacting case-mate. I apologize that you are not completely satisfied with your case-mate purchase. Unfortunately, we were given a prototype Nexus phone device from Samsung that we modeled our cases from. When Samsung released the Nexus phone device to the public, they made minor changes that we were not aware of. These changes, affected the fit and function of the case. We have redesigned the case and the new cases will be available on our website in approximately one month. If you send me your shipping address, I will be more than happy to send you a replacement case at no charge. I apologize for any inconvenience that this may have caused you. Please provide your shipping address below and a photo of the defective case.
Shipping address :
Please let us know if we can be of any additional assistance.

I wish I would have found this thread before I bought this case. I am really disappointed with this case for the GN. I have had tough cases on several phones and they sure messed this one up. I have sent customer service an email so hopefully they will replace mine as well.

Sadly for me because I ordered mines directly from Case-Mate.com rather than a reseller. They provided me with a coupon that gives me 20% off but wouldn't give me a free replacement and said that the free replacement is only for people who bought the case from a reseller. HOWEVER, they did refund me for the purchase I made on the Tough Case. So pretty much, I got the case for free if I want to continue using it with the current flaws of it.
So pretty much:
buy case from reseller -> free replacement
buy case from case-mate.com -> coupon code off
They also said the revised case for the Tough Case & Pop coming out later this month will fit both GSM & CDMA models.

i sent a mail to case-mate .
The case-mate Tough for the galaxy nexus is now not available in their website :
http://www.case-mate.com/Samsung-Galaxy-Nexus-Cases/Samsung-Galaxy-Nexus-Cases.asp
Just the barely case-mate is available !!
I hope a sending of revision of this case, i bought mine from a reseller.
I don't know if they exchange it for internationnal customer?
I hope so, because it's a bad advertising for their brand...
Wait and see !!

thanks for your help..
very expensive though :S

For that price your better off selling yours on ebay and purchasing a new one for yourself that you know will last......

you could try contacting samsung, it could work out cheaper.

this is why i have insurance. while i rarely drop my phone, it does happen. it hasnt yet, but i know i probably wouldnt spend 300 on a new screen. for that i could buy a different 4g phone off contract.... id go and sell my broken nexus.

Some of us here who purchased in the grey market obviously can't get our phones insured. Easier said than done.

What do you mean by grey market? like craigslist? and thats why i said id by another phone, its a sly way of saying that the screen costs more then some of the current 4g phones do. You could literally buy a Razr off of craigslist for 280... http://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/mob/2770665120.html
I realize the ability to customize the phone is nice, but not at the expense of a small fortune. if you bought it off contract in the first place that at least what 5, $600 already down, then if you replace screen your in it for $900. Buy a razr or the thunderbolt ... or something, then wait a couple months for the next greatest phone to come out and the price of the parts will come down then the screen can be replaced for cheaper.

Seems like the eBay one is an LCD, not Super AMOLED.

That one in the ebay link has the lcd also, which is why it's so expensive. As soon as the digitizers start being sold by themselves (glass screen only), it will be much cheaper.

When they say it's a LCD, it was referring to the actual part of the phone, the "Screen", and not that the screen is using the LCD technology, the galaxy nexus is only available with HD Super Amoled technology for the screen, unlike the Nexus s that has both Super Clear LCD (i9023) or Super Amoled (i9020), if that what you are referring to.

I think it's the same with all Amoled technology, the screen and digitizer are only sold as one, they cannot be purchased separately.

The glass and lcd are fused together. In order to replace one, you have to replace them both.

No pics? Forum rules clearly state that if your going to post that you have a broken screen, you must also post an accompanying picture for proof of the incident and to satisfy those of us that take pleasure in others pain
all joking aside, i hope you are able to resolve this with minimal damage to your wallet (and ego)
this also makes me happy i bought the insurance option from best buy, though i never had to use it for the incredible, i like the idea of no deducible if this were to happen to me.

My screen is broken aswell (from the inside..) so the glass is still silky smooth on the outside.. and the whole screen is black and i can see 5 veins of broken glass on the right hand side of the phone.
But one thought that ive had is.. the 4G and the 3G versions are very different, seen from the back, will this be an issue if i buy a new screen on ebay?

could check out these guys but i dont know how expensive it is

i found this https://www.gounlock.com/details.php?itemId=7607 much cheaper

I'm on Verizon and I got my Nexus for Christmas.. All of a sudden it started getting this massive crack without dropping it and it's normally the only thing in my pocket. Anyways, I called Verizon and (kindly/politely) asked them if I could add insurance late. It took a while, but it eventually got done. I then paid Insurion a $100 deductible (and will pay $6/month for continuous coverage) and then sent me a brand new phone (with free battery and charger). Granted, I still had to pay $100 and will keep paying per month, but at least my phone will be safe from the little things and $100 is small compared to the other option.
tl;dr: Call Verizon, kindly persist and ask for Insurion late, get new phone

G2 Springs

Was just wondering if anybody has a couple of hinge springs to get rid of? Will pay for them and shipping..... Thanks....

Try phone repair sites? Just did a quick search on eBay doesn't seem to be anything available like that.

I think he is referring to the hinge springs that was recommended by a guide a while back to fix the weak hinge in all g2s. Sorry mate I wished I had some left

Does anyone have a spring left
Hello,
I was in touch with McMaster-Carr yesterday and they're still not shipping outside of the US. Has anyone got a spring they're willing to sell, please PM me. Thank you in advance.

Just use the dimensions of the spring and search locally, they can be found at hardware and hobby stores all over every country, well most I'm sure. I have a few but I think it would cost you less just due to shipping to do a quick local search

Thank you for a very fast reply. I'll check around here if not I'll be in touch. Usually shipping from the US to Belgium is quite affordable and I've never had problems with customs either. Have a nice weekend.

I used the spring of a spent disposable lighter. meshed 2 pieces springs together and replace my old spring hinge. works for me.

I like the creativity of that idea But this afternoon I talked to a friend who owns a crafts store over here in Bruges, Belgium and she told me that I'd be hard pressed getting the springs ordered via hobby stores. So I went ahead and ordered some in the UK at [a href=http://www.leespring.com/uk_product_spec.asp?partnum=LC022A05M++++++&springType=C&subType=]lLeesprings.co.uk[/a]. Specifications match, only downside is that I had to order 5 at the same time.
I'll let you guys know if this type works or not.

Well if I REALLY had to, I'd probably check out amazon. Seems they have good deals, but most of the stuff is probably gonna ship from overseas.

Most likely from eBay and Amazon. But I can't think of anything else to replace other than the battery and backcover for my HTC sensation.

For me i'll try to find it in repair shop first since we can inspect and see the part/product.. online shopping is my second choice though

Yh, shoe leather costs (searching around) is basically what many of us do. I will tend to look on amazon or at my local hardware electronics store. The XDA marketplace is also a great area to search for spare parts. Once you have banked a year membership.
Oh and, only one person voted in the poll and it is already closed? Seems a bit dodgy. Re-open it or PM a mod to do it.

Mobile phone replacement parts can be found everywhere in market, like real store, online shop, ebay, etc, but i prefer to online shop. The price in real store and ebay is a bit high, because it's B2C marketing, and with less style. So i like to choose B2B online shop with wholesale price, and some website even no MOQ but price is quite low by comparision, like EOEM.If need, u can go to eoem dot cc, really ecomomic.

E-bay and only from sellers with many sells and good feedback !

The best parts usually come straight from the manufacturer. Otherwise you run the risk of some terribly cheap replacement parts.
