Thanks, I'm horrible about buying cheap accessories from hong kong and putting up with waiting for weeks... but maybe I'll go find something to help the carrier I love to hate.
Same here. Well i just ordered a red Amzer TPU case from ebay, and when i got it the case was in hot pink...not red lol.
so we just print out the picture?
Derp should have actually read the page. I think I may try and pick up the desktop dock.

That or you can download the picture to your phone and just show it to the sales person when you're ready to pay. They'll just scan it off your phone.
i just got this case yesterday for only $20 http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/AddOns...4e39-b18d-e091488f1786&inCart=True&catCode=21
Loving it so far. Very sturdy and robust feel.

i bought that case when i first got my amaze, i dont use it anymore. I found it damaged my phone (more specific, the raised edge around the glass is chipped). Granted i have 3 batteries so taking it on and off, which is a PIA with this case, probably didnt help at all, but now it just sits there collecting dust. just my $0.02

Oic...not sure if you got a bad one or if they have made new ones since, cos mine doesn't even touch the glass part.

I know how you feel man, I really dont recommend this case at all.
Thanks for this post, I would have never known about this if not for you... You Da Man
I tried the D30 dual protection case with the coupon, didn't like how it didn't wrap around the phone case and rise above the glass, so took it back and got their "band" cover with clear back cover. The US stores also have a "buy 2 get 1 free" offer for accessories for a few weeks. Some stores may notice that this coupon cannot be combined with any other promotion, but the girl who sold me the first cover last week didn't bother to check that ... whoops, I missed that opportunity, could've got a $35 accessory for 30% off, then another, and gotten some earbuds or something free. D'oh!
D3O Case - $8.39 + Tax In Store.
$11.99 + 30% off.
Do it.
Other Amaze accessories dropped as well.
Invisible Shields are $14.99 with front and back.
Buy any 2 and get one FREE.
I went in to my local Tmo store to buy a case, it was $30. It rang up at $15, so I was okay with that. I notice they are dropping the price of Amaze accessories.
I picked up a HTC desktop dock last night at Tmobile for $18, new in the box.
same, picked up the speck case. half price for $14.99, 30% coupon worked as well
Going to the mall after work today. Thanks for the heads yo guys!!!

I have one of the d30 cases and I absolutely hate it. Makes the phone so much more bulky and the power button has zero feed back that it was pressed other than looking at the screen to see if its on. And you have to press it pretty good to get it to come on. I even gave it a week and a half to see if it got better or I got used to it.

All of these problems are 100% ACCURATE!
Not to forget, along the sides, the screen sticks out farther than the case wraps leaving about 1mil exposed on each side. I HATE how heavy it is and the power button is AWFUL. :banghead:
Switching to New BoxWave Case as soon as mine gets here.
Sent from my HTC Amaze running Sense 3.5
I picked up one of these cases, because it was literally the only case they had in stock for the Amaze. I agree the power button doesn't work nearly as well now, I am thinking about how I could (potentially) make it work better.
Tape usually fixes the Amaze...lol (Amaze joke)
Wait....I sent this with Tapatalk?

Yeah, you gotta be careful and do it ever so lightly. If you go through oh well. It's just easier to put if you do. I don't know how long it'll last. I slit mine slightly and it broke in.

Any way you could grab one for me? lol I would pay you for the price plus shipping! Was that with the 30% coupon? And did they have the car dock on sale too? I live in a small town in Missouri so the closest T-Mobile store is St. Louis which is a 2 hour drive for me and I don't even know if they carry the dock! =(
anybody see these yet?

i am tempted to try one just dont know what color
Curious if NFC still works with these covers.
i dont use nfc a whole lot but good point. i may order one and i will update if it does
Question, isn't this back plate heavier than the plastic one?
Edit: M8 it isnt pure aluminum.. it says 'made of aluminising plastic materials"

The inside of the aluminum cover seems to be made of plastic so no need to worry about shocks.

i see. oh well i dont use very often so we will see what it is like!
i think the back cover is not effective for protection. its because when your phone drops, you dont know which part will hit the ground first. thus, you still need a case. lol
Either way protection or not from the images it does look ascetically better then what samsung offers.
I bought for 6.99 free shipping. I got to try it for this price
Before I bought the phone I was all for buying a replacement back but looking on ebay etc has changed my mind, hey I'm confident that I won't drop it haha

It went up a dollar. I'm going to snag it before it goes higher.
guys i bought a case like this for my sisters s4 , and i can confirm NFC doesnt work , also it ads bulk and weight to the phone , to the point where i personally didnt like it , it has a plastic case under the aluminum one.
Seemst to me that would get scratched up and look bad fairly quickly. Unless you put a case on it, but it would be pointless to buy if you're going to cover it with a case. I'd also be concerned about what it did to reception.
aluminium case
I use to own one this for my Note 2.All I can say the build quality is only mediocre.

great fail of $7!
Still can't find the official covers in Canada. I ordered mine from NCIX three weeks and still no sign of it.
Anyone in Canada get one? You Americans have any trouble getting yours?
Out of stock here too. Went with a cheap case from eBay. Only thing is stock anywhere.
Got my cover in the mail Tuesday. Was on backorder for about a week. Ordered from Tigerdirect.com
Same issue here they like gold dust at the moment!

I paid for one though Nvidia's website almost a month ago and they have yet to ship it. I was hoping it makes it here before my flight in 2 weeks.. but as of now I am unsure. bought a cheap one on amazon that should get here before the flight just in case.

Yup.That's the one good protection but limited on the angles you can use it at. Also has the magnetic screen off.
I went back to the GameStop where I got mine.
The had 1 Shield Tablet in stock, but no accessories.
When I asked about the cover, they basically told me not to hold my breath.
He said order directly from NVidia and be prepared to wait.
Ordered everything from Nvidia directly. Got the tablet a week after order, Got the controller 2 1/2 weeks after order, actually arrived before they even updated my order with a tracking number. I expect to receive them the first week of September. Just seems like an appropriate time table
I actually just got mine in the mail today. Just unboxed it...ordered all my stuff directly from Nvidia

I had no issues. The covers on the site and back work great. Also it is not that sticky when you apply it, but once you blast it with a heat gun or hair dryer is like it's good on. Very happy with the outside cover.
The screen protector is great too. Over all I'm very pleased.
I'll post pictures when I get a chance.

Wow, I'm sold..Thanks! :good:
PS I do have a cracked edge. Is this easy to remove and reapply? Thinking maybe unless the "revised" version is a huge difference, I may just keep the one I have, apply this and be happy.

Super easy to remove and re apply, until you blast it with a hair dryer. Then it's stuck on there really good.

When you flip over the cover to the back, does it "flap" around when you hold the device in portrait mode?
Also, is it sturdy in landscape mode?

This is the one I got and I just love it. No issues at all and the magnet holds nice to stand it up. http://www.amazon.com/ProCase-SlimS...roCase+SlimSnug+Case+for+NVIDIA+Shield+Tablet
I'm currently undergoing the issue of having the back peel off my nexus 6 and I've only had it for a week so I don't have another $600.00 for them to place a hold on my account for a replacement. On google+ a guy sent me a link and said these might be wood replacement backs. He said somebody posted a pic of it and said they are actual replacement backs not just skins. If they are backs I plan on buying one now
slickwraps.com/natural-series-wraps-skins-for-nexus-6
There's a .html at the end. Can't add links yet since XDA still got that crazy 10 post thing going on
These are simply skins that stick over the back, not replacement back panels. If you need a new back panel, they're on ebay with adhesive skin to apply them similar to stock. Goodluck.
Yes you can buy new white and blue back panels from ebay. They are perfect replacements.
Thanks a lot you guys! Didn't realize eBay had them. Then on top of that there not coming from overseas... awesome
Just to add to this, yes they are an adhesive skin, but they are real wood, and not a thin flimsy decal. If you read the original @slickwraps thread, people have removed the plastic nexus backing, and put the Naturals bamboo skin as a replacement, and it was a perfect fit, but it wasnt meant to be a replacement and not marketed as such. (The Naturals line, both leather and wood, are much thicker than flimsy plastic decals since they are real leather and wood)
I myself own a few of the Slickwraps Naturals products, and I have to say I am impressed with the quality.
I have the dark brown leather as my back and I removed the stock back. It fits 100% perfect and I love it! I also bought a spare OEM back in case I need it. The bamboo might need some sanding to fit flush I haven't tried it with mine yet but if and when I do I'll post some pictures.

I just applied some conditioner so it's wet but I have a older picture of when I first installed it that I'll post right now below for you. I'll add new pictures once the constraints l conditioner is done drying. I"aged" the leather because it looks better with some wear on it.

i also bought an extra back from ebay. received it yesterday but the curved part of the letter "u" was not in place. it had come off. i put it back in place no problem but it leads me to think they will come off easy. another thing i noticed is that the ebay one, the "nexus" letters are chrome and the ones that actually come on the phone are silver.
good thing i got the ebay one to play with it. i'm going to end up painting it or something. haven't decided what yet.

The one I bought is fine and identical to my OEM one that I took off my phone. I can post a side by side if you would like. It could be a different supplier for the back or something because most people have had good experiences with the ones from eBay. I'm not saying there aren't bad ones out there but I received a good one.
