Does anyone know where one is available from for the Lumia 800?
I seen a pic on Amazon but they do not seem have have listed the product
amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B005WU1NWM/ref=noref?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&psc=1
Are there any alternatives that are the same as the original?
Soft rubber case which hugs the phone not a clip on one, and ideally one that does not look cheap and tacky.
Thanks
my local phones 4 u sell them in my area (reading town centre).
i bought a light blue one there - they seem to be the official nokia ones, too.
Phones4u indeed do have the cover but they only sell it with the phone as part of an accessory pack.
After speaking to one of the guys it seems they will get the Official white case this or next week and it will be on sale separately for £8.99.
Will pop in next week to purchase one.
I just wonder why the heck it didn't come with the phone. They give you a black one instead. Really??
Yup I got the black one given I think everyone pretty much got the black standard one that came in the box. Phones4U were giving out a special accessory pack which contained a white version of the Original case.
Not in the mood to go out and buy a white Lumia and I really like the official soft rubber case as oppose to the cheap knock offs you can buy anywhere else so I though I would go and hunt for one.
I want a red one. I'm also curious if the models listed on amazon.com are oem like the case it came with.
If they're labelled as CC-1031, then they're OEM.
I would love the original cover in a white.
How many official colors are there? I only ask because I've seen a RED and a MAGENTA(pink) I don't know if they are different because the ebay auction says RED and it looks red but that could just be a bad pic.
Official to my knowledge, and correct me if I am wrong:
BLACK
CYAN
MAGENTA(pink)
LIME GREEN
Is that all of them?

red is new white?
Seems Phones4U keep telling misleading information.
I went in to purchase it again and was told that it explicitly is only sold with the phone and is not available for purchase separately.
Kinda Sucks that they seem to have a monopoly on the Official White Case from Nokia. I am unable to find the White case from anywhere else at all after scouring the internet for weeks.
I work in Phones4U, there is no official white case, the white Lumia ships with a black case.
I asked the Nokia rep why this is and he told me it's because when he was carrying the white N9 with a white case it got so grotty, just didn't look nice.
We sell an unofficial white case, but it isn't as nice as the cases that ship with the handsets.
Ah thanks for clearing it up, the rep i spoke with was certain it was an official white case and not a 3rd party one. Already have the standard black one that came with the phone its nice but really looking for a white one with the same quality, look and feel.

I figured that would happen but I want it anyways lol. Probably look like a white mac keyboard after a few months of heavy use but so what.
Found an official white case by Nokia. Nokia-CP-017N
http://www.play.com/Mobiles/Mobile/...urce=0&searchtype=allproducts&urlrefer=search
Seems it does Hug the phone and is not one of those horrible Clip on cases
That's not an official case.
Play.com have the manufacturer as Nokia.

That has to be a lie. Look at the fitment on the back, doesn't even line up properly. This looks like the run of the mill rubbery, get stuck on your pants, collect a lot of lint and dirt type of ebay case.
Indeed.
First off, the official covers are not made of silicon, secondly, the official covers do not allow access to the SIM tray.
Thirdly, if you Google that part number, you can find pictures of the packaging which show is as 'made for Nokia'.

First post here (I think), but I just had to poke my head in, as I'm really confused about this.
I got my Lumia 800 about 3 months back, and in the box was a cyan (well, I alway saw it more of a light blue, cyan's brighter. But that's my inner interior decorator talking) case. I also got the official accessory pack with the white case, and 'Nokia Bluetooth Stereo Headset BH-111' in it.
Now, my cyan case that came in the phone's box, DOES allow access to the SIM tray. Which is a bit annoying as sometimes I catch it when opening the charging port. And so does the white one.
Not sure how you can tell what's silicone and what's not, but on the accessory box, it says 'white silicone case'. The cyan one feels the same material, so I assume that's silicone as well.
So the white one on Play could quite possibly be an official one, as it looks identical to the one I have at first glance.

Having owned a TYTN and a TYTN2, I love HTC smartphones with keyboards. After spending a year with an Iphone 3G I have bought a Rhodium. The only problem is that I detest silver phones, so I have ordered one of thier OEM housings in black. I used a coupon code of TS20090701A for 20% off.
I'll post a teardown video and review of the housing once I receive it.
Those pics look to be the sprint version casing.
does this fit on the normal rodium here in the netherlands??
i like the backplate how much is it??

Agreed.
I hope the OP doesn't have a standard Rhodium otherwise there may be a bit of a fitting nightmare when it comes to relocating the ExtUSB port because of the extra 3.5mm jack on the Sprint version!
wow i cant wait to see it opened up i have the t-mobile usa version and would like to know if i could change the housing, the people are right about that silver one bieng the sprint version but i think the black one on the sight is probly the oem htc touch pro 2. I tried to enlarge the pic and it didnt let me so i could not see the rear cover but on the red version the back was the same as the unbranded touch pro 2 good luck with the install i will subscribe. In any case has aanyone tried to open the us t-mobile version and see if the guts are the same as the unbranded version?
That case "looks" more like the T-Mobile one. Notice the Battery Cover, from what I can tell in those screen shots the stylus doesn't go through it like the Verizon/Sprint/HTC/AT&T versions. Of course it's not a true T-Mobile one because it does have the tapered edge around the screen (Bazel).
Its the Sprint TP2 housing.

I have received the casing and there is no way to make it work with the T7373 model.
I have emailed the supplier and askerd for an exchange for the correct, albeit orange, model.
So far no response from the vendor...
I've emailed twice asking about exchange.
agitprop, what makes it impossible to adapt? Is it the shape of the T-mobile frame that won't fit in the other housing? Or is it the touchscreen?
If it's the touchscreen, you can buy an alternate version that will fit the Sprint housing, they're all over ebay for about US$30.
Be sure...
To notice that the one pictured above is yes the Sprint version but on top of that the Sprint version has both the mini-usb port AND the 3.5mm jack, so for a t-mobile touch pro this isn't going to work, or at least you'll have gaps.
I was looking at the silver one on their site and might go with it, since looking at the picture closely it appears to only have a hump on the back for the mini-usb port.
Buddy of mine has the Verizon version of the TP2 and I must say it looks a little nicer that the T-mobile one, it actually "looks" smaller as the edges are mor rounded off, hence why I'm interested in the silver on on that site.
Are there any other technical reasons why the case you purchased will not work? Please explain.

I am on the prowl for a case for my upcoming Samsung Note. I am having difficulty finding (of course) any cases that are made specifically for the AT&T Version.
Do we have any confirmation that the International Version and the AT&T LTE Version are in anyway different? Mic Placement, Etc?
What are all of you buying for a case?
I bought a case from Amazon for 5 bucks for international note. If it doesn't work then I am out only 5 bucks.
Sent from the SuperStreak! ;-)
Best Buy giving away free case!!
I got a free case from Best Buy for Preordering my Note from them and then they gave me $50 bucks!

From what I understand, device dimensions are the same, but no one has yet been able to say whether or not MIC placement is identical.
From the pics i have seen the Mic looks like it is in the same place but not sure about the 3 mm jack
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
I emailed SGP and one other case manufacturer to see if they are the exact same.
The microphone thing worries me
Edit: just compared two back shot pictures of the note. One international and one AT&T. The 3.5mm jack is in the same position.
i ordered an aluminum bumper from ebay. it should be here soon. ill update everyone when i get my note!
for aluminum bumpers, i dont see a problem with mic placement. or the 3mm jack. you can just mod them easily.
anyway, speck a couple of cases out. i have used the candyshells on my iphone for about 2 years now and have dropped it about a billion times. the phone is in good condition still so they work good!

As far as we have been told, the International and 4G LTE versions are identical in shape. The internals and weight are different, but cosmetically, they are almost identical. The only noticeable difference is the home button. The international version has a physical click home button but the AT&T version has a capacitance home button. This does not effect the cases shape. You can see images of the case we will have in stock (later this week) here:
Amazon ASIN: B0075WQ118 (introductory sale price of $4.95)
You should expect to see other colors (White, Clear, Blue, Red, Purple) in this style online in a matter of days. The Gloss and Matte versions will follow later next week. Let me know if you have any questions about this case.

Thanks...I see your case shows the AT&T Version with the capacitive buttons....guess that means your case should fit like a glove. I went ahead and ordered the white one figuring that if I didn't like it...i'd only be out 8 bucks.
On another note...(no pun intended).. I currently have an IPhone 4s and use a Credit card case like the one in the attached images... Since I've been an Iphone user since the very first one, I'm having difficulty finding decent cases for other phones (IE...Note).
Are there any cases like this out there for the Note?
TIA!
What are the holes on the bottom right of the phone? It is located on the backside of the phone directly across the speaker phone. I see some cases for the N7000 having the slots opened for it and some just covers it. Also most pictures of the International Galaxy Note does not have the holes there.. is this ATT only?
Thank you for clarifying that. Makes more sense, now I can shop with ease.
Cimo, thanks for the info. About to order this case right now.
Real quick, I don't suppose if you know if this will work with ProClip's vehicle mount for the note? I know they don't have much room for give so I was planning on going with no case on the phone . . . but I like the looks of this case and the deal is pretty hard to beat.
I just bought this one from Elago.
http://www.amazon.com/elago-Slim-Ca..._1_3?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1328640739&sr=1-3
I always used Elago with my iPhone 4. They're not the best at protection, but they're the thinnest short of a decal skin. For me, that's the most important thing on a big phone.
I bought the white, because I have the white note, but maybe I'll buy another color too later, or return the white. Hope it's not that tight, like the Amazon reviewer implies, but I don't plan on removing it ever.
This one seems to be thin enough too: http://www.amazon.com/elago-Handmad..._1_9?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1328640739&sr=1-9
I was thinking about getting the SGP because it covers the power and volume buttons.
http://www.amazon.com/SGP-Samsung-G...XD94/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1328645558&sr=8-1
They also have a padded thinner case like the one mentioned above but it is quite expensive. I really want to get a aluminum bumper but $50+ seems too much for protection that don't even cover the rear.

For Seidio Fans
Seidio has a place holder up for the Galaxy Note! Won't be long now before the cases come out. I wonder if they will include a holster for the surface case?

Our Gloss TPU and S-Line TPU cases for the Galaxy Note for AT&T are now in stock and ready to ship. The Matte TPU cases are expected next week. Let me know what you think:

Thanks for the info. I have a few questions:
Will a screen protector come with each of those cases?
I noticed the purple S-Line link doesn't go to product page.....But will you guys still be selling it in that color?
And finally, does the Gloss and S-Line cases both feel about the same?
EDIT: Nevermind. I scrolled through your product pages and was able to find that purple case.
Here is mine. Just received it today. It's a G4-slim fit. It's a hard case that is super thin and has a rubbery non -slip feel to it.

Check or search nexus 6 tear down or so. Lazy to link things tonight
ifixit did it in their tear down.
Ahhh teardown search was key.. Thanks guys
So I'd say it's safe to assume that eventually there's going to be a black model?
This looks interesting! I'd love to see how it comes out!
I hope it has the adhesive already on it. I can only imagine the huge PITA its going to be if it doesn't. For those who ordered one can you post a guide/pictures when you install it? I'm curious about this and if it works I know a lot of people will want the white one.
I'm curious if it's actually just the blue one labeled black.

If it is indeed black then it's not an OEM part. I wonder how the quality would be in that case.
I fully expect to get a blue one, but for $10 shipped its worth trying.
I ordered a black one when they first popped up on ebay. I'll update with pics and info when it gets here. I just plan on using it as a template to see about making alternate material backs so if it's black or actually blue and listed wrong it doesn't matter to me.
Looks like they raised the price. I'll wait to see results. My back has a few weird scuff/wear marks and I'd pay $10 to get a new one to have on hand. They seems like they'd be very easy to replace.
I think it would be awesome if it turned out to be black soft touch even though that isn't original. If the quality was good anyway...
Edit - I see the black is $10 and the white is $15.
With sprint only offering the midnight blue version, I wanted the white version. I would be interested to see how a midnight blue with one of these white backs look.
I bought a black back for 10$.
I'll give it a try.
This + a crashguard bumper + a screen protector
It's all it takes to cover the entire phone
Mine shipped so it should be here in 2 weeks or so. Shipping from China is always slow.
Im interested to see how this turns out.
I'll be getting a few of these. Maybe they're knockoffs, but if they fit the device, they could be used as custom backplates. I'm thinking of using spray paint or something, to create a nice, unique backplate.

Hey ,
bought the gray strap in ebay here (although it's mocha color)
just received it today.
And it feels a lot different from the strap that came with the watch (I have the white one).
the texture is completely different , the mocha strap is a lot stiffer.
also attached pictures of the package.
question is , how can I tell if it's original or not?
Thanks

everything samsung that is white feels weird. Even their phone covers, my wife and I have the edge and I have a black cover while she got the white. both genuine samsung but the white is way more plastic feeling, same for the other phones. considering that theres like zero alternatives for bands and samsung is always out of stock, if it fits then roll with it.
nice find though, thats the cheapest Ive seen including shipping, may have to pick one up for myself.

in my case , the white feels nicer and like it's made from high quality material.
the mocha feels like harder cheap plastic
the seller response
Got a response from my seller who talked to Samsung. this is pretty much satisfying :
Regarding your question, I asked Samsung technician in Samsung Service in Korea and he said that Samsung uses different raw materials to make good color/ shape of each strap as follows.
A. Material of “White strap” is fluoro rubber.
B. Materials of “Gray strap” are urethane and silicon.
There are big difference of materials, consisting of white strap and gray strap. That’s why you feel difference.
There are 5 different strap colors from Samsung.
White strap is a lot smoother and flexible than other colors such as Gray, Black, Blue and Red strap.
another official reply from Samsung :
Unfortunately, there's not a code or anything that you could check on replacement bands for this device to ensure authenticity. We do recommend purchasing from official Samsung retail places to be sure you're purchasing original accessories. However, I can tell you that some of the different colors do have a different feel to them than others. The white straps are softer/more pliable
hope I helped someone somewhere.
I'm thinking about purchasing it but tbh the rose gold seems so pink... I dont really want to look at a pink phone constantly.
Do you have any solutions or just dont buy then?
It honestly doesn't look that pink in most lights. The pink is quite subtle (much less pink than the rose gold iPhone), more of a pink champagne gold. I thought I would hate it, and bought a dark leather MOFI (Chinese case brand) back cover to hide it. I do use that case a fair bit as it gives good grip and makes the back flat and protects the camera bump, but I also use a Luphie aluminium bumper in the same rose gold as the phone. This shows off the phone's colour, and I find I actually prefer it like that than with the back cover on. Have had quite a few compliments on the phone's style and colour too!
I have the rose gold phone, too. As i bought it wanted to use a black case, but it isn't as ugly as expected and i liked it. ;D Now i use the transparent cover which comes with the phone.
But if you really don't want a rose gold phone, there is an silver version on spemall or the last days at gearbest.

I thought the same, but fortunally it is not that kind of pure nasty pink. The spectrum of pink is wide and this variation looks a lot better in person than in the pictures i have seen of this phone. I love this phone. Anyway all eyes are different it might not be for you

Same here. Before it showed up, I was already shopping for a different colored case, but decided to wait. Turns out that the color grows on you, and for most, the clear case that comes with it is fine. I have to wonder if it's being discontinued, though, given the price difference between the rose-gold and gray colors of the same phone.
I have a feeling that LeEco was targeting the Max 2 Rose Gold to female users ? but realised it was too big ? and hence they have a lot to sell ? so the price is good value ?
