Not sure if anyone knows about this site. It's like going to ChinaTown of your local major city and buying goods from their market. It's rebranded, backdoor manufacturing, knockoff, products that didn't meet the tolerances, type of things. I saw some GNex phones on there a week ago or so. There is a ton of stuff that is legit on there, but at super huge discounts to what you pay anywhere else.
Here's another forum I'm on and what they have to say about the site. Most of the problems come from looooong shipping times. You have about 10 different shipping options. Can take anywhere from 2 - 6 weeks. 8 and it got lost in customs or stolen off the truck. But they will ship you another or refund you if that happens. Most of the problems we have with ecigs are batteries. Most of the time they get taken in customs before even leaving China. When that happens, FT gives you two choices, refund or attempt again.

I don't see any problems with customs and an unbranded TPU case. I don't mind waiting a couple weeks for it to come in the mail. So I picked up 3 of these. One in black, white and blue.

I had a case that looked exactly like this for my Galaxy Nexus. It was actually the nicest case I had, but I'm not a big fan of the texture on the sides where you hold it. Made my hand kinda itchy.

well...I guess it's all relative what a "good deal" is, but I got married on friday, graduate school in 3 weeks, and have yet to find a full time, salaried position with benefits. I'm currently turning a wrench in a shop as much as I can on weekends to make some $$, but the GI Bill has helped wonders.
In short, I stay strapped for cash. Never broke, but always lookin for a deal
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...t=301&pf_rd_p=1263465782&pf_rd_i=898334029848
Came across this just now, and didn't even hesitate to order. I figured even if the whole package sucks, I paid under 10 bucks for expedited shipping. If it works out, I've got a case til I decide which nice one to get (OB or Seidio prolly...) and car charger (already have a decent screen protector). For 10 smackeroos, I'll take that risk
Either way...not trying to advertise, hope this isn't interpreted as such, I just figured this deal had to be shared!
Looks like a good deal to me. I don't like cases though. I like my.phone like my women... naked. The captivate is too pretty to hide behind a case.

I got this one last week, will be writing a reveiw soon. The case is good, the charger is ok but is not for a Captivate, the bag says is for a Motorola Razr and the screen protector can't say nothing because I am using a different one.

thanks for the info. that's pretty much about what I expected. I wasn't gonna worry about the screen protector, as I, like you, am using a different one, mainly i bought it 'cause i figgered it might work out to a cheap, halfway decent case, and a bonus charger

maybe im wrong, but i would guess that it's unlikely there will be any bumpers from main manufacturers considering the phone is very thin at the edges and also the fact that it gets narrower at the edges (ie. not constant thickness)
There doesn't seem to be any official pouch at the moment which is unfortunate. I like my phone to be nude when I use it but be protected in my pocket.

Bro, check on http://www.pdair.com they sell high quality leather pouches. I'm like you and I like my phone to be naked and only be covered by a pouch so that people can see the device I have (I know, it sounds kind of egocentric) but also, I like to see my phone as it is, without anything covering it except the screen protector
The products are in production and expected to be released soon, I will definetly get one from them
I'm really loving that HTC is putting out their own accessories as well, I'm personally getting the flip case.
I never use cases for usual usage, but I'd like to have a kickstand since I plan on also using this for a very tiny but very portable working/entertaining interface. Like I usually jot down a few notes about appointments and lectures, as well as I like watching stuff on my phone

Just find a possible price mistake from Amazon. the Black color of MoKo Nexus 7 FHD Ultra Slim SmartCover is $0.99 while other colors are $5.99
both need to pay $4.98 for shipping
For $5.97 shipped. I do believe is a good deal for whatever quality from Amazon. And I did use MoKo for my Nexus 7 and iPad 3rd Gen, not bad.
Link :good:
I picked up a few colors today to maximize shipping. Moko has some decent prices on screen protectors for larger tablets. I got two for 6 bucks and I'm going to cut them down to fit my Nexus 7.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
It is a good price, but I don't think it is a price mistake. They have been constantly adjusting pricing on different models cases over the last few days.
The other case people were looking at went from $3.99 to $.99 to $.01 and now is back at $.99. This is also with the black color only.
I'm guessing they are just doing promotions to get as many of the early customers as they can.
I ordered 2 different MoKo cases 99 cents each. My order total on Amazon for the 2 cases and shipping was 8.45 but they took 40$ out of my bank account. I sent an email to the seller I'm not sure if I missed some fine print but that's shady.
Thanks, ordered a couple for me and the wife.
I really want something that works better with the wireless charging down the road, but for now, it's good to have something. Thanks!

did you find out why they took $40 instead of $8.45 from your bank account by chance? that sounds really shady.
I think this company is shady...the case is awesome.. I ordered one for my tab3 8.0 .. But as soon as I received it they went on a shopping spree with my card info... Luckily chase blocks that and was able to stop it but just be careful... As much as I want this case I'm not sure I want to deal with them again... On the $40 dollar charge I would advise your bank to not allow any more purchases until that gets resolved

Dang! I need to check my account. I bought a case from them a week ago or so.
If it is BSCstore you are talking about, all my purchases had the correct temporary auths on the credit card and the charges came from amazon rather than BSCstore. I don't know how it works with bank accounts.
I ordered them through Amazon and nothing happened, hope they are as good as their prices :x

I'm not defending them because this will be my first purchase, but they have a 4.8/5 rating with almost 40k votes. Do you think it's possible you have malware on your computer that intercepted your financial info? We're the charges specifically done by them on your statement? You may have a broader issue.
Payment is managed by amazon only.. Its amazon who charges the card.. Store vendors do not have access to credit card information.. And even if something goes wrong customers are protected under amazon's A-Z guarantee.

Just an fyi for everyone. I was able to purchase 3 of their new nexus 7 cases (@99 cents a piece) for $11 shipped. Too good to pass up in my book. :good:
I emailed them asking them for a price adjustment since I bought at $3.99 and they said they would refund the $3 once the item ships and the initial charge goes through.

I used the Moko on the original N7 and LOVE it. I still have my N7 along with my new N7 and ordered this case immediatly when I saw it was .99c. Also grabbed an orange one for 2.99. IMO, worth the cost. The only difference I see in the images is the little flap on the back of it for when you want to have it in the propped up position. The original didn't have that flap and I wish it did. Propping it up before wasn't very sturdy. I think it'll go over much better this way.

Hey guys, have you noticed, Google is a bit lazy this year. I still haven't seen sign of official bumpers on the play store and my phone won't last more enough without a case. Anyone knows when will they be released? I mean come on, it's been two weeks Google. Hurry.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Yeah, they were supposed to release the official charger according to several sites as well. I wonder what the deal is!
I'm in the same dilemma too . I'm tempted to buy another case , since i'm scared i might drop my phone, Hope it comes out soon.
Google wants people to break their Nexus 5 so they will buy another Nexus 5
I'm really getting sick and tired of the supply problems with Google... Every single device that they release has supply issues and accessories are even worse. How hard can it be to make more devices for launch and have the official accessories ready to purchase at launch?!
They hype their products and "leak" details to get people interested and then don't produce. It's very frustrating. Anybody should be able to buy a nexus 5 or any accessories at launch and have it ship the next day.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
For $35, there are better cases to spend your money on.
They released it for a few minutes on N5's release day, a few people bought and got them, they haven't put it up since then
The official Google bumpers are terrible. They're bulky and they feel cheap. Not to mention they're not truly bumpers since they cover the back. I really don't recommend them.
I would not be surprised if they are working on a real bumper to replace the one they have now.....something like the N4 bumper would be nice
I liked my friends a lot so I ordered one of eBay a few days back will post a mini review once it arrives in the next few days

The battery of my almost 3 year old Tab S 10.5 is showing its age. The tablet still works great and I rather replace the battery than spending hundreds on a new tablet. The problem is that there are loads of companies selling the batteries on Amazon and eBay. The reviews on Amazon are mixed with some buyers from the same business saying they work fine and other say they don't work at all. Can someone who replaced their battery with positive results inform me where you purchased it? Thanks

You're welcome. Really no need for a toolkit. Just credit card or other thin plastic item to pop off the back. Just take your time and be sure to watch the video and put back together in exact reverse order. The cable clamps are also plastic and can break easy, but there are only two. Scale of 1 to 10 for technical skill needed, barely a 3 imho. Best of luck. Let me know how you make out.

I received the battery from gdcdirect today. It came very fast from California to New Jersey. It was very easy to install and it has a January 2017 date so it is fresh. It had a 55% charge on it so played around with it for a couple of minutes before putting it on charge. I was surprised to find that the tablet is much faster and responsive. I wasn't expecting that. I was just looking for better battery life. I guess after almost 3 years the tablet slowed down so gradually I didn't notice. There is one small concern. There is an area about the size of a marble that's pushed up on one side. I attached a picture but it is really hard to see in the picture. Since It's working OK maybe it's no big deal but I'm going to bring it to the attention of the seller and see what they say.
I'm trying to find a good source for a replacement battery for my Tab S 8.4, too. I've purchased 2 different batteries from gdcdirect on eBay. The first one worked for a couple of months, then started failing. The 2nd one was bad immediately. Now I'm gun shy and I don't know where I can find a reliable vendor. Anybody buy one that has held up for more than a few months?
