Just a warning to all of you that like to purchase accessories from Ebay --
Alot of the Sandisks being sold at what seem to be "too good of a deal", are in fact, well.. too good of a deal
Bought a Sandisk Ultra II 2GB SD for roughly 135usd shipped earlier this month and it turned out to be phoney.
Works fine, and performs decently, but zeeero warranty as a result.

I'm super surprised that no one has mentioned this. (or at least I haven't seen a post for it as of yet in the vibrant section) They've got some great prices on some of these things with free shipping on a bunch too. I wanted to get this post up for everyone to take advantage of the Vibrant part of it.
They seem to have quite a few nice things for under 5 bucks with a lot of the items most people discuss in this part of the forum, and I hear they're decent with a 30 money back guarantee. You may get lucky finding stuff elsewhere for slightly cheaper (very slightly), but at least this should give most of you guys a pretty good indication of what there is and at pretty good prices with the extra 30% off on top. I got my eye on a couple of them tonight to probably pull the trigger.

16GB Class 10 microSDHC for $29.95 @ Newegg
Hello,
Here's a deal for those who're still using their stock 2GB external microSDHC class2 cards. This one is made by Wintec and it's a class 10 card. It was out of stock for a while and just got back in today so I ordered one...I'll test it once I receive it & report back if it's really class 10 and if so, if it's 10mb/s on write or on read. I can't post the link since I'm new, but I'm sure you can find it under Wintec 16gb class 10 microsdhc @ Newegg.
Just a quick update, the Wintec worked great for 3 weeks or so, then speed started to decline. Finally crapped out just over a month. To make a long story short, I had to deal with the manufacturer, last week and just got a reply saying the product was damaged by mishandling. For the month I had the card, I took it out maybe twice. Of the 57 reviews there, 16 ppl had the same issue as me. That's 26% of failure rate. They claim to offer life time warranty, but this is how they weasel their way out. Oh well, I'll never purchase anything from Wintec again. Luckily, Patriot has a Cl 10 16GB micro sdhc for $39.95. I'll have to pick that up...along with the Adata Cl10 16 GB for $37.95 as well....BTW, just got finally got the Otterbox from Amazon for$24 shipped. The rubber came a little loose, which I had to use a head gun to shrink it. Also the plastic didn't align right, which I also had to heat it and bend it into shape. It's thinner than the castmate, which I like, but the plastic doesn't have the grip as the ABS plastic and texture of the Casemate. The Trident gives the best protection imo, however, the trim around the screen is a little thick and it's kinda hard to hit the "p" key in portrait mode.

Comes with full size SD adapter. Class 10, from a trusted seller, and a great price!
Shame about the mail-in-rebate part, good price still. Wish they could do those rebates instantly/electronically.
Hi All,
I am looking at getting a new phone but i dont feel like breaking the bank.
I have been looking for a few weeks while limping along on my Nexus 6p. I love the stock android feel and my main asks are for a good camera, screen and battery.
Hence here i am looking at a 3 XL.
Amazon have New units at e395 for a 64gb. 2 year warranty
Ali express have refurbs at e250 for a 64gb or e290 for a 128gb. 90 day returns.
I am leaning to Amazon personally due to the warranty cover but i would appreciate any input from people who have gone down the refurb route.
bought a 128gb 3xl last month on ebay for 130 euro delivered from uk phone cost before customs was a100 euros ost of about 5.5-6 hrs and battery life just about get the 12hrs on the stock 4 year old battery got a battery to go into it shortly and running andriod 13 via pixl dust rom
