I popped into a couple Best Buys and Sprint stores in the last few days and nobody has cases yet. I don't like to buy things like cases online because I can't stand returns/exchanges involving shipping. I need to see it and feel it before I buy it. Anybody found them in local shops?

I checked Radio Shack and they had nothing.
Best Buy has some but there crap!
Stay away from local retailers. They screw you. Bestbuy, Futureshop, and the carriers in Canada are selling the lowest quality available. Mostly the 's-line' style found on ebay for $2. Yet they think they should charge 30. I highly recommend Ebay or Amazon. Same cases just not exorbitant prices.

Anyone know of any reputable sites selling a new Jawbone for mega cheap? I've found $82 on Amazon so far or $100 right from AT&T.
if in US, go to best buy, tell them you have seen the price dropping on the internet, ask clerk to do a product comparison search, then get a mgr to price match. Works if they are bored, and in a less tech savy area. got my black one for $79.
got mine for $60 (£30) was an unwanted gift (didnt know what they were selling)
amazon.com it is then, thanks!
I have called just about every retail Sprint store in this state (CO) and everyone is sold out of Otterbox cases! Im soo annoyed haha. I am going to be on a trip and driving right near all these stores too. Do you guys know if only coporate Sprint stores carry the Otterbox case?

Hey I had a question...
then this needed to be in the Q&a section
Best Buy....
Saw two left at the sprint store in Boulder yesterday night
Its not a question about the phone itself so why should it be in q and a. Its a question about an accessory and its in the accessory forum... Best buy or the corporate store are your best bet. I would also give radio shack a call just to check since they carry otter box cases for other phones.
Sent from my Evo with... Which Rom should I rock today...
The guy at two of the Sprint stores said they havent gotten a shippment of them in weeks. So I am wondering if they are altering the cases? Also you can no longer purchase the Impact on their site, it says it is not available yet. hmm... I'll call tomorrow morning and if they don't have any in COS I will order one online.
i got mine off ebay for $27.99 with free shipping, that was for the commuter.. It only took 3 days to get after i paid for it. i think he has around 70 or so left.

Oh man thank you! I searched for commuter cases on eBay and came across a guy selling them, he has 80. (not sure if same guy).
He just happens to live 10 minutes away, so hopefully I can pick it up!
Update: He said UPS is there store base and they won't hand it out. The eraliest I could expect it would be Thursday. Time for plan C.

Just letting you know, I ended up buying it off otterbox.com with the coupon.
only $32 shipped, pretty good IMO and they apparently ship from Ft. Collins, CO
I was in the same situation, gave up looking for the case and bought a leather case off ebay for ten bucks and then bought two replacement batteries with a charger for another ten bucks. Otterbox lost me, I was waiting for the defender as well but I gave up. Hope you enjoy your case.
Where's the best place to purchase it? with the cheapest price?
I know negri-electronics has a coupon which brings it down to $685, is that my best bet?
At Negri, I think the "VZsucks" coupon might be over... if so the $35 off coupon is probably still up. That brings it to like $700 ish.
Clove and Handtec are around the same price. Like $685 - $695. They have foreign transaction fees if you buy with most credit cards though.

Nope I edited my post from their twitter. That's what made me purchase the GN, I was like ahhh this coupon is going to expire and it never did but it could expire at any time :\ its definitely worth it.
They'll go through with the coupon. Go for it
alright, thanks everyone. i shall decide tonight what to do

Good luck! I became obsessed with this phone quick, it's difficult to say no.
I just bit the bullet and paid the extra cash to get it full retail from Verizon. It only ended up about $721 after taxes. Not the cheapest phone purchase I've ever made, but with flimsy Samsung plastic exteriors I figured I'd rather have a local warranty ready to go.

We GSM users don't have the option. We can't go to Verizon and buy a off-contracted one and pop a AT&T/T-Mobile SIM card in there. It won't work. The CDMA/LTE version is for Verizon only.
It may be plastic but it holds pretty well in the hand and its build quality is pretty good.
Brain fart! I should have realized he was referring to a GSM version.
The phone does feel solid, but I'm hard on my phones and this is one I'll probably hang on to for a good year or so. I also don't believe in ruining a good looking phone with cases or screen protectors, and Verizon's insurance is good about getting a refurb to you the same day if you drop it. I haven't had to use it yet, but, well...
Me.
$675 shipped (US only). Steinheil flex installed + an extra unused film. Case included.
All original accessories and headphones never were used. Phone is in absolute mint condition and you won't be able to tell it from a brand new one. No scratches or dead pixels.
Ordered from Expansys-USA for $750, willing to eat the $75 loss.
Anyone PM me if interested.
Or order, wait and pay more and hope you don't have bad pixels. Up to you.

Hi guys,
I'm looking at buying a Galaxy Nexus sim free soon and was wondering if anyone knew of any deals around now.
At the minute I have found the cheapest to be Play.com at £340.
Using a website called TopCashBack I am able to get 4.04% back on my purchase which would make the total cost of the phone a little over £326.
Although I have found better deals on eBay and Amazon merchants, a lot of these seem to ship from Hong Kong which is something that I would like to avoid at all costs.
Thanks for any replies or help with this matter.
Mike.

That looks like a bargain off of play.com for a new UK phone from a reputable seller. I just got mine last week and ended up buying a used one off ebay for £220. I didn't see any that were new from the UK that would beat £326 when I was looking. The £330 ones off of amazon marketplace seem to be asian devices.

I have seen their website before but don't like the fact that they operate from Hong Kong.
Although their prices are cheaper I have read enough reviews to make me order from Play.com
Thanks for the suggestion though

The amazon.de offer was more like £300 after delivery costs and you have the disadvantage of dealing with a foreign retailer (the UK site won't support the purchase).
Hello guys,
Do you happen to know a recommended place to buy Trident Kraken from?
I'm getting tired of the eBay sellers which do not offer international shipping (or shipping that costs twice the price of the case itself), and I haven't found many reliable stores that ship them globally for a fair price.
So, got any suggestions?
Perhaps one of Amazon's Worldwide Sites??
Here's a list of them:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?ie=UTF8&docId=487250
Gettin mine tomorrow from Amazon for about $27.
Can't wait!!
Good luck man!!
Sadly, neither of the websites in the Amazon network ship such items to my location (books and CDs are OK, for some unknown reason).
I've ordered from eBay, hope it reaches me. The first attempt was refunded.
