I got my G Tab for the 255.00 on woot, and since having it others I work with want one and was wondering if you know where to get a great deal for the G Tab instead of paying the 399.99 at Sears.
Also the Clip case question. Where can I get one?
Happy Hump Day!
Many places are mentioned in the threads
Office Depot has it for $299 on the website. It's the cheapest I've found from a reputable retailer.

The Sears Outlet also has a bunch of "refurbs" which a lot of times is one that a customer returned without any defects. Several folks here have bought them before the Woot deal and have reported no problems with buying a "refurb" from the Sears Outlet. Although the site says it's store pickup only several folks have reported that if you first buy it online and then call the store after you've bought it the store will ship it to you for free.

Note: click the "Find all available products" link after the above page comes up to see all the stock.
The clip case you can get at www.electroniccrap.com. He sold out of black so only white ones are available today.
When was it on woot for $255? I only saw $279 both as a daily and the woot-off. I bought mine for $279 on the woot-off.
As low as $316 shipped from Amazon Marketplace.
Oppps, Yes it was 279.00. Was in an alternate reality when I was typing and don't know why I typed 255.00.
In case anyone's still interested in purchasing:

Amazing that there have been so many deals for the View. Is HTC trying to kill off its stock? I absolutely love mine. The only thing I'd ask is for it to be slightly lighter, but aside from that, the hardware is absolutely perfect for me.
I was gonna buy it, but after looking at the reviews of the marketplace seller I just cant do it.
Seems like even the 5 star reviews were saying the seller was horrible.

Probably the majority of the users here with the View purchased theirs through through that seller - 1SaleADay. Most of us got it directly from the 1SaleADay website when they had it for sale there more than once. Yes, they're very slow and may not respond to questions, but it's because their products are dropped shipped. While it's no excuse for poor customer service, the fact is that they are merely a middle man selling the product. They don't actually have the product in stock at their own warehouses. It's wholly dependent on the company with the stock to get things shipped out. Again, it's no excuse, but it helps to provide a better understanding of what kind of company they are, along with how they're able to offer things cheaper than many other companies.
That said, everyone received their Views ordered through 1SaleADay in new, as-described condition (with the few exceptions that there always are when anything is shipped from any company). Purchasing through New Egg provides an added layer of protection for the buyer that none of us who purchased directly from 1SaleADay had. So if you really want one, I wouldn't let the seller put you off from buying it in this case. Generally I wouldn't say that for marketplace sellers (feedback is a great way to know who to buy from and who not to buy from), but in this case, it's a little different. It's a good price for a great device.

What is dropped shipped? I haven't heard that term before.
I got mine from eBay before Christmas from that one seller that sold 2000 in one day and then 3000 in one day the week after (bidallies I believe). No soft packing material, just cardboard, but mine arrived without a scratch. I'd say dealing with Newegg is the absolute best place to buy it, since you get their guarantee. It clearly says there is a 1 year warranty too, so that helps.

The all-knowing Wikipedia explains it better than I can:
"Drop shipping is a supply chain management technique in which the retailer does not keep goods in stock, but instead transfers customer orders and shipment details to either the manufacturer or a wholesaler, who then ships the goods directly to the customer. As in retail businesses, the majority of retailers make their profit on the difference between the wholesale and retail price but some retailers earn an agreed percentage of the sales in commission, paid by the wholesaler to the retailer."
So, the seller doesn't have the actual items, they ship from somewhere else, and the seller has little information on the items beyond what the manufacturer or wholesaler gives them. It definitely makes good customer service more difficult. It's not an excuse for the complete lack of customer service that 1SaleADay has however.
With the View, which ships from the U.S., this isn't so much of a problem. Pretty much everyone received their orders in a week to a week and a half. Where most of 1SaleADay's negative feedback comes from is much of the other stuff they sell, which is actually held and shipped from somewhere overseas (often China). Many of the items are sub-par, they break easily (often in transit), and it takes far too long for them to arrive. Before ordering my View, I had made two previous purchases through their site. The items arrived as described, and they worked just fine, but it took over three weeks for them to arrive. In addition to this, given the nature of how they do business, it's next to impossible to return anything through 1SaleADay or receive a refund. So, people buy cheap junk from them, it takes a month to arrive from somewhere overseas, and then when it doesn't work or breaks quickly, they're unable to get a refund or replacement, and in turn leave negative feedback (which is understandable). But sometimes, they do sell some good stuff, like the View. And I'd feel even more comfortable purchasing through New Egg because they have other customer protection measures in place.
Well I ended up buying the evo from newegg.
Im in no rush for it anyways. See how it goes
I ordered mine from 1saleaday and received it within 5 days of the order.
Hi all,
I've just seen a HTC Flyer for sale online (forgive me for not revealing my sources).
It's a fairly reputable auction site and 'apparently' it's 3 months new, 16GB Wi-Fi version with case, box, headphones, pen and a free 32GB MicroSD Card... looks ok in the pictures for cosmetic damage.
Seller wants £100 for it... What do you all think? Is it worth it? I know they still RRP for around £300+, so it could be a bargain!
Unsure.
cheers,
T-L-H
Lessee....that's about 150 USD, so yeah...thats a good deal.
I dunno what "3 months new" means but you'd be hard pressed to find a flyer that cheap over here even used. Best price I've seen is 180 USD refurbished.
I am selling mine on Swappa, it comes with more than just the unit, but am asking $335 for it.
http://swappa.com/listing/TKX494/view
Mine is listed in the XDA Marketplace w/ Scribe, Otterbox Case, charging dock and Screen Protectors.
Hi all,
I'll take a look at what you're offering but I don't think it'll compare to £100!
If anyone has a 3g version for sale, send me a pm so we can work something out (I'm in Texas).
Thats a fantastic deal. Maybe too good to be true. Is the seller reputable?
If its an auction, then 100 pounds is just the starting price or the current bid? Or a "buy it now" price?
If its just the starting price or current price, keep in mind that the huge majority of auction bidding happens in the last couple hours leading up to the auction end, even the last couple MINUTES.
With any online auction, make sure the seller (not just the website) has a good reputation. I typically will not even consider buying from somebody that has less then something like a 98% rating. A marginal or poor rating means, at a minimum, that the seller is not good at communicating (responding to inquiries or issues), and /or slow at shipping (none of which you want). Worst case, a bad rating means that they are a scam artist.
I'm not sure why people keep mentioning auctions or buy it now prices.
All I said was that the seller wants £100 for it, and that's the flat price.
I think it's an ok deal.

You said in your OP that it was on an auction website. So unless you explicitly note otherwise we might assume its . . . (wait for it) . . . AN AUCTION!!!!! Imagine that!!!
Also, I'm the only one that mentioned auctions or buy it now price, so I don't know why you're on about "why people keep mentioning . . .".
You haven't given many details, so its hard for anyone to say whether its a good deal or not. Is it available straight from this "fairly reputable auction site", or is it the type of site where individuals post things for sale (like eBay). If its an individual seller, do they have a good rating?
I have a HTC View that I would sell for $240 + shipping if anyone is interested, I think I'm going to list it in the XDA market place.
Flyer
Do you have a link to your Flyer on MarketPLace?
thx
Stopped in my local T-Mobile store just to see if they had any cases for the N6. There were none on the shelves but I asked the guy and he brought out the Case Mate Naked Tough case. When we checked the price he told me it was on sale for $4.99!!! Bought it instantly. So if ur in the market for one of these check ur local T-Mo store and make sure u ask about the N6 cases if they arent out on shelf. Happy 4th all!

EDIT2: Stuck on "We're processing your information.." Slow secure site, went through finally..!
Dang, shipping is $5.99 if you buy online. With coupon and sale, it brings the total up to $10.

True I didn't see a shipping price since I kept adding everything (was other things I was shopping for). At $20+ shipping is free > Gas money
I searched for nexus 6 compatible accessories and found a few interesting ones.
Anyone come up with more deals, post'm they are much appreciated by accessory-holics
Hi guys,
Just got my OP5 and was wondering if the OnePlus provided KARBON Bumper case (priced at INR 1990) is really worth buying/using?
I mean it's pricey but even with that tag, is it good enough? Worth the money and feel?
Please reply ASAP.
Thanks.
Any link?

I just ordered it. I will tell you once I get it.

I had placed the order for same yesterday. Register your device on oneplus site before making this purchase and you'll get 250rs off the price when checking out an accessory.
It costed me around 1740 after 250 off.
Hope this helps!

Yup. It is for Oneplusstore.in only. But you can check your registered mail also. They might have some other offer.
Here's the screenshot of the email that i received from Oneplus after registering my device.
mine is out for delivery in the US today. id say for $30 USD it is not worth it, there will be much better, or at least cheaper, alternatives on amazon soon
but if you apply the referral code ($20 USD) it should make it worth it, $10 USD is on par with spigen etc

Yup. I have a referral code as well for accessory but bought the phone from Amazon on 22nd (couldn't wait till 27th - Oneplus store date). The referral Code only works if you Add in the accessory along with the Oneplus 5 device when you are placing the order. I have already registered the device so it should be in their system but whenever i try to use the referral code this it just sends me to 'Buy oneplus 5' page.
You can try to redeem your coupon though. It might work for you as you had bought from oneplus store. But it does say that they can use the referral voucher when they are buying the device. No mention of when they try to use it afterwards.

i saw two ways around this:
1) if the phone is in stock, you can add it then the case, then apply the code, then remove the phone from the cart
2) when i ordered my phone, the case was not in stock.... so i emailed them about this, and they gave me a $20 code to use at any time, so when the case was in stock - i used the code.... they also agreed to waive shipping charge...so the order total was $10 USD
might want to try emailing them

Will Try to email them. Problem is i bought the phone from amazon. Dunno they'll allow me to use my referral voucher. Customer Service here are sorely lacking. My nexus 6P started having the bootloop of death (motherboard issue) when my warranty expired 15 days ago. Talked to google and huawei, both were non sympathetic and i was given a quote of '25,000rs' (390$) to replace the mobo. Where as most people in US were given either a refurbished or new device even after their warranty had expired as this issue is widespread in Nexus 6P.
Yeah well, I had ordered and got it already. But I'm surprisingly frustrated with OnePlus Service here hearing that they do NOT have a return policy at all for such a case, priced so damn much!
So I've put it up for sale in forums etc. Let's see if I can salvage some cash back.

You have the carbon one? PM me I might buy it from you.
I have the bumper. I usually always use my phone naked but I might keep this one. It's minimal enough and provides some protection on the corners which is what I was looking for.
I just got the Karbon Bumper.. Wow it's nice nice.. Don't even think about it, get it before it sells out for 3 months & your stuck with a ugly bulky full body case from Amazon case. This case covers everything but is slim. Wow

Guys, what is difference between : OnePlus 5 Protective Case Karbon and OnePlus 5 Karbon Bumper Case, which one give better protection ?
I just received the black silicon case, its slim and feels great, protection is enough for me i assume

Protective case doesn't cover the buttons, top and bottom. Check it out the both cases from front side. You'll see the difference.
I bought it with my phone and received it yesterday. I personally would not recommend it. The fit and finish is nice but the way they cut out the alert slider makes it unusable. The way it is cut is too deep + they added a small lip along it that makes it impossible to move it up and down. I will likely be selling mine.
