Hey guys, i have been more fortunate than most of you guys, my tablet fell this morning. But the only thing that happened was the back cover got damaged. It hit a ceramic floor on the corner with the camera. everything seems to be working fine.
Anyone know where i can get my buttery hands on a back cover?
Thanks guys.
Right now ASUS is your only source. Unless you find someone parting one out on eBay.

That sucks, I live in the Dominican Republic, sending it here was costly enough, so getting it out and back will be crazy.
Here is hoping someone has a solution
Maybe it's time for a cover (such as the Poetic ..).
It wraps around pretty good ... maybe (only) you know the blemish.

Yup, it is on the list of things to get sent down, it will just be late.

Hi all,
Recently I dropped my beloved phone and now there's an unsightly dent in the corner and the silver border (euro version) is really badly scuffed. It still works though.
But I like my devices pristine so I can't stand to look at it now!
Tbf I can still get £150 for from one of those phone trade in companies.
And can sell an old e71 for just under 100, which can go towards a new different handset.
Or is it at all possible to refurbish anywhere and then attempt a higher sale? I'd rather not wait weeks/months though.
Please offer any advice.
Thank you.
Ibelieve you can buy replacement screen/front cover. I seen a couple posts with links to ebay for them.
Wow, what would you do if your girlfriend had a zit?

I'm not sure if thats the damaged part, but that is what I was talking about.
mines got the same thing, dent/scratch in the top right corner, but it just adds character
i know if i fix it, i'll just go out and drop it again.
Maybe you could just put a case over it to hide it and protect it from future damage?

Stupidly i did the opposite. As soon as i dropped my phone i was in such a piss poor mood i just put it in my jeans pocket. I was cursing the stoopid fiddly case!
So aswell as the corner dent, the silvery bit started to peel away. Funnily, every other part of the phone is still in perfect condition.
I doubt any personal buyer would be interested so i think im just gonna give it to Envirophone or other.
Better than other situations where i could've lost it or internally detsroyed..

You might be surprised!! Put a post up in the marketplace section, you might just find an interested party
Why not get another one and save this one for parts. That way when you drop the new one and scratch the back cover you can already have a replacement.
I finally dropped my phone getting out of my car and dinged up the frame of the phone pretty bad. Since I'm OCD, I'd like to replace just the frame, nothing else got damaged and it looks like a simple replacement. Yet I can't find where to order the part from.
Does anyone have a link to order a frame (outer edge of the phone) or have done this themselves?
Thanks.

I could sell you a complete housing....$80. Typically you dont see the frame only.

Thanks! I'll watch that auction. Just exactly what I need.
If the stupid Samsung car dock had room for a cover of any sort this wouldn't be a problem.

I say just put a $20 max bid in there (prolly won't get to $20). It's well worth it, and easy to replace. My soft case ($2 on ebay) fits just fine in my car dock....
Hope ya get it

Exactly what I did! Do you have a link to your soft case? Love to put something on it, but still have it fit in that tight car dock.

I bought it not sure if I would like it but turned out to absolutely love it and it comes with an awesome holster too that I didn't think I would even use but now I wont leave home without it. The holster also provides allot of added protection since it covers the screen.

Looks like a beast
Hey all! I was looking around for a replacement frame/bezel myself due to my power button issues.
Just got mine in, and it's what its supposed to be Looks like the real deal, and not some knock off 3rd party part.
Here are sellers that have black and white frames in, just in case anybody is needing them.

Are there any waterproof cases available for this phone as of yet? Would someone be so kind as to link me if there are?

I was jamming in the pool last week.. I was at the water park, waiting to go down, and checking facebook.. funny stuff to see the kiddies want to get a pice of it. haha
hmm i seen this before...never tried it out but looks pretty interesting. It doesnt water proof your phone but is suppossed to dry it out thouroughly in case it does ever get wet
Has anyone ever tried this product or type of product out? PLease let me know if anyone has tried this...I figured this thread would be appropriate to post in since it is about waterproof/and phones. I think if the product actually works it might be handy to have a couple handy at all times.

I bought the aqua dry bag, but haven't had to use it yet.
I am looking at getting the DryCase from drycase.com. They have a 100 feet depth rating, that's good for going diving as most everything is 65+ and higher that is worth looking at.
anyone have any reviews on that product?

the purpose behind this is normal silica gel, you can get this from most supermarket in a containner, alot cheaper than the dry bag.
I have also been looking for a waterproof case for my GS3, but not really interested in the film-bag things that prohibit long term use. I know they make some waterproof cases for the iPhone that can be used all day, every day, and I am thinking something along those lines would be perfect for our phones. I go fishing and hunting quite a bit and would love to get my hands on a case that offers some strong protection and is also waterproof.

Mine got stained, it also scratched the back of the phone. A thoroughly bad case.
Hi everyone, I got my 2014 edition tablet today (32GB, white) and I was wondering if you guys are having the same issue I am having. Under the Samsung logo on the back of the tablet, if you put your palm under it and push it feels a bit hollow and not firm/hard. Basically it just feels like the there's an empty space behind the thin cover. Anyone having that?

Mine is the same way. I don't think it's anything to worry about. Although that area is where it gets a little warm with heavy use.
Thank you!

That may be intentional, then, to allow for some passive cooling of the internals not an expert opinion, just a guess.
I winded up getting a new one as a replacement, and it wasn't flexing like the first. But what do you know, the right speaker is kind of loose on the new tablet. $650 and still have the build quality of a $100.

Same issue here. It even makes a "cracking" sound while holding the tablet, which is very irritating. Not sure if I will return the tablet (also because it shutdown automatically yesterday )
Mine is firm. Very firm.
