Anywhere to buy replacement back covers? - Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories

My auto rotate stopped working so I tried to open up my Nexus 7 2013 WiFi edition and I cracked the back housing in two places and I'm wondering if anyone knows where I can buy a replacement? I've tried looking with no luck.
On the plus side I did fix my auto rotate issue, so that's something at least

Ebay gives me useful results

I only found one guy selling them in Europe and he's out of stock on the model I need, if you found one in stock please link it.

Check Expansys USA -- they have the 'Lava Grey' (i.e.: black) version for $210, with free basic shipping. 'Natural aluminum' (i.e.: silver) version is s'thing like $30 more. I'm posting this reply in a hurry, so no links -- sorry.
n.b.: Expansys does not specify China (PRC) or Taiwan model, but it's easy to conflate the two countries as 'China'. I asked Expansys to check stock; they sent a fresh device photo, showing /all/ Google services installed.

Thank you for asking.
I just ordered mine because you asked and they replied.... Google Service does make a difference.
I wish they would release the official cover already and it would be perfect!

Hey, you're welcome! But then, I had to ask -- if it's the right model, that's a deal I couldn't pass up.

Expansys staff person posted a comment that it is "from China and does have Google Play."
I'm not sure what that means but I've ordered one and will find out.

I just received my n1 from Expansys.
I confirm that it does have the Google play store.
It came in Chinese but I changed the language.
The android version is 5.0.1 but it asked me to update the software as soon as I turned it on.. Downloading now.. Hopefully it's 5.1...

NOkia N1 taiwanese version only 257USD !
my friend helped me buy a nokia n1 in taiwan and its cost only 257 USD . is it cheapest ?
haha
My N1 from Expansys has Build number A5FM401. Neither the tablet nor the retail box nor the packaging was shrink wrapped. Is there a reliable way to determine whether it had the TW version with Google Play straight from the factory or whether the software was altered after it left the factory?

Well, I can say that I'm quite happy with the Taiwanese N1 I bought from Expansys USA. It arrived brand-new in factory packaging and after the usual set up (plus some extra time required to get around the initial language barrier) works great...best $210 I've ever spent on an Android device.

Here's what I can tell you, from personal experience.:
• A5FM401 is the factory-installed build for Nokia's Taiwan release of the N1. Shortly after first login, the device will download several OTAs, culminating in Android 5.0.2 (A5FM51C).
• With my N1, the shrinkwrap had been carefully cut likely to open the box for inspection as noted in Expansys' catalog (e.g.: to check for damage and/or a US-type power plug).
• The tablet itself still wore the factory's wrapping. I carefully examined the polythene under bright lights (think C.S.I.: Android !), but saw absolutely no signs of tampering.
• From talking to several people who own the Chinese (PRC) model, nobody in their right mind would go to the trouble of re-flashing one to make it look like the Taiwanese part.
BTW: when I asked Expansys to verify Google's apps, s'body in the warehouse kindly sent a pic of a freshly unboxed/booted Nokia N1. Maybe that's the one you got?
Hope this helps a bit.

I'd like to hear your results, for sake of curiosity. Meanwhile, mine stopped at Android v5.0.2 -- I'm told this is the current final release for Nokia's Taiwanese N1.
To date, only their Chinese (PRC) part has been upgraded to 5.1.1, but since that OTA rolled out just a few weeks ago, I guess there's still hope for the rest of us.

IVSO Nokia N1 Ultra Lightweight Slim Smart Cover Case

Good reviews, so far, plus I figure you can't go far wrong for $10.
I am happy with the Expansys unit as well, I was debating between the N1 and the new Asus zenpad 8.0 s which has the same processor and slightly better specs but costs more.. The N1 is much better looking and has stock Android which is a big plus.
I hope they will keep on updating it, eventually to Marshmallow, since after all it's stock Android...
Great tablet, I just wish I could find the official cover that doesn't seem to be available anywhere...

It's very helpful - thank you. The info about the build number suggests that the software is original. Someone here said their tablet was rooted, but I suspect they were mistaken. I missed the part in Expansys' catalog stating that they open the boxes for inspection, that makes it much less suspicious.
The tablet is impressive for the price. Build quality, thinness, performance, wireless specs, battery life. I guess that's why I'm questioning - because it looks like it falls into the "too good to be true" category.
Would love to buy a docking station that takes full advantage of the Nokia N1, whatever it offers from the Type C port out of the box or can be hacked. This press release for a dock reference design specifically mentions the N1 tablet, but I suspect because it was one of the earliest devices and not because the dock is optimized for the N1.

Yeah, I'd say he's simply wrong. And I'm a careful guy -- first thing I did after I got my new N1 running was to install AIDA64 (a free HW-analysis app; look for it in the Play Store). It confirmed that the device was not rooted.

Expansys append something like that ('Note that the box will be opened...') for a large number of listings. I guess we can assume they get their stock from a wide variety of sources and under varying circumstances.

LOL I know, right? This thing is just astonishing value for money -- a super device at an unbeatable price. Except for the disappointing camera and (so far) lack of Android v5.1.1, I'm 110% happy with my purchase.

Yep, that would be a neat accessory, for sure. Well, you never know; it's pretty clear Nokia see their future with Android devices, so maybe we can look forward to an upgraded 'N2' tablet, using the same shell.

Couldn't agree more.
The N1 is delightful in it's simplicity, with vanilla Android and elegant design. Nokia took the iPad Mini's basic look and improved it; rounding those famously 'chamfered edges' gives much better feel in the hand.

Anyone who knows a place where you can buy an official HTC DotView Case?
I saw one on ebay, but that one was unofficial. The official ones can only be purchased at the au online store afaik.
So any suggestions?
Here's a good one
For the minimalist, here's an excellent case. http://smile.amazon.com/Butterfly-Y...&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s01
It is a clear rubber skin that minimizes shock of impact and prevents from scratching or smudging.
Another case and the smartest I've found
Found (and ordered) this on eBay:

For anyone who wants a dotviw case for their HTC J Butterfly 3. Follow this link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/282362885295?var=&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1558.l2649
I couldn't find them anywhere else and actually contacted the seller if he still had some. So these are probably the last ones he has and which you can get easily and cheap.

Straight Talk S3 Broken Screen

My Grandson was given an S3 968c and the first day he broke the screen taking it out of the case that would have protected it, So I've been looking at screen replacements' and they seem to be as much as the phone was new , we got it for $99.00 and the replacements are about $66.00 bucks I've looked around and can buy a verizen for a lot cheaper but I don't know if it will work.I'm not sure I think it's carried on verizen it's using straight talk as the carrier. Has anyone run in to this issue and what screen's can be used... Thank's

So unless I am mistaken, your LCD is still intact. All you need to repair is the Lens Glass. They come in kits and tend to be universal and cost anywhere between $5 and $10 for the repair kit. As Example:
https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Repl...qid=1466173519&sr=8-2&keywords=s3+galaxy+lens
There are many sources for these kits.

is there any online store for buying battery?

Hi friends,
I'm using Robin for one and a half years. Last week I faced a huge problem. The problem is If I removed my phone from the charger it gets switched off but if I put it in power save mode it can stable to 50%. Is there anyone facing these kinds of a problem or if anyone knows how to fix this please say me. I feel that the reason for the problem is the battery. If so where can I get an original battery or replacement battery!!!!! please, friends, help me.

The only place I know of to buy a new battery is the site that won't ship outside India. There are used batteries pulled from non-working or allegedly never used phones on eBay, but those are at least a little risky.
The other link I shared is a post from someone who figured out a way to get a similar battery from an Oppo phone to work with the Robin. But it is an involved process not everyone (including myself) is comfortable doing.
The bottom line is that I don't know of anywhere in the US to buy a new and never used Nextbit Robin replacement battery.

I can make no judgement as to whether or not they're a good source, I'm in the US and they won't ship outside India.

It doesn't matter whether or not it ships outside India. The website shows the battery is out of stock.

Hi friends,
I'm using Robin for one and a half years. Last week I faced a huge problem. The problem is If I removed my phone from the charger it gets switched off but if I put it in power save mode it can stable to 50%. Is there anyone facing these kinds of a problem or if anyone knows how to fix this please say me. I feel that the reason for the problem is the battery. If so where can I get an original battery or replacement battery!!!!! please, friends, help me.

You'd better buy a new phone.
Similar issue here, if power hungry apps are started (like camera or new GMaps) and battery is 50% or lower, it just dies. I'm in Singapore and had no luck finding replacement battery. Pixel 3 coming tomorrow as replacement, farewell Robin, I liked you.
Robin will be downgraded to some sort of smart home touch panel device to listen to music and control lights. Maybe even Google Assistant? We will see.
