Free Sprint case - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

Free Sprint case - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

Well I had pre-ordered my HTC EVO 4g LTE like everyone else and waited for it to arrive on 5/18/12!
When I got the email that it was delayed I was kinda disappoimted, but what could I do other then sit back and wait. So it finally came yesterday. Opened up activated it and was over the saddening fact that it didn't come when it was supposed to. So I started to wonder what sprint was going.to do for all the people that waited like a lost dog staring out the window on 5/18 just to find out that they weren't getting there doggy bone. And just then ding dong (well who the hell is bothering me when I'm setting up my new EVO)its the UPS guy with a package? Confused ? I didn't order anything. Open the package like the little dog that might have just gotten a bone in the mail. And it was, a free gel case from sprint, and a letter of apology. Now this might not be a great apology, and they didn't even ask what color I wanted but its a great gesture. And its blue I like blue. Thanks sprint.

I got the grey hard case... Which with a little humt, found it to be the Bodyglove Kickback Vibe... $25 retail or so
Not bad for an appology gift I guess... I wasn't at all worried about getting my phone late... But if it was decided that HTC could not provide this phone I was going to try an start a boycot movement

I actually really like this blue one with the HTC logo... Does anyone know where to get them? Or has HTC not released them yet. I'd love to see the colors they come in

The only other color I've seen aside from the blue is a black version that was shown at CTIA. There is a red one I saw but it looked more like one that snaps on the back instead of fitting around the phone like this one does.
I haven't seen them online and Sprint obviously has them, they just haven't shipped them to stores. My experience on Thursday trying to find a case in a Sprint store, I went to two different locations and they both had different cases, none of which I liked. One store did have a black silicone similar to this one though for $15. But I'll take the blue official one and see if I can find something else. (The blue grows on you.)

It sucks that people who did not order directly form Sprint do not get one, even though we waited too. Or do we?

Not to sound negative, but no one other than Sprint knows the true answer to that, but I'd say probably not. The thing was, ordering through Sprint online was supposed to get everyone who did the phone earlier than everyone else. So they did something they didn't have to because they are trying to work on their customer service and public image. Now everyone who ordered through Best Buy, Wirefly and the like where raving about how they were saving money or getting a giftcard and what not. Well yes they will still get those things which should be better than getting a free case since that's what drew most people to them; whenever they get stock to send to them. Perhaps the companies everyone else ordered with may do something as a nice gesture as well. The only other people I see Sprint possibly doing this for are people who have pre-orders in store. They may allow the staff to let them choose between a couple cases to get one for free.

The customer has the option to order from whatever site/store they wish to. It's competition. Because I ordered from Best Buy or anywhere else should not disqualify me for a free case IMO. Sure I saved a lot of money and people who ordered online on Sprint did not. If the savings led me to buying at BB, so be it. Why shoot down the smart shopper?
In the apology letter it says "want to thank you for your patience as we know you have been anticipating the arrival of your new HTC EVO 4G LTE". It's referring to the delay, which those BB customers were part of too. If the cases are only being shipped out to the customers who pre-ordered online on Sprint, which it is, it should've specified that reason.
Excuse my bitterness. I'm upset because there is no LTE.

Correct, it is referring to the delay in general but if you didn't buy it from them don't expect them to give you something. If you bought it from elsewhere Sprint and HTC doesn't have to reward you for your patience because you didn't buy it from Sprint even if you are under their contract now. Now if Best Buy wants to give you a free case or WireFly or where ever you purchased it from to say thank you for your patience then it is up to them to do such. But they most likely will not because they already gave you whatever savings you got. You can not expect one store to give you something when you bought something from another. That's the whole point of having options as you say isn't it.
e.g. lets say you buy something from amazon because it's cheaper than best buy but then best buy turns around and gives the customers who bought it from them something extra that they didn't have to. You can't expect Best Buy to give it to you as you didn't buy it from them. And while I know you will say it says Sprint and HTC you have to look at it as a retailer POV.
I understand where you are coming from, I'd probably still be upset if I didn't have my phone yet. I am looking at it from a retail POV rather than the company you have your service with. Even though it states Sprint and HTC, it's Sprint as in the store you just made your purchase from and not Sprint as in the company you have cell service with.

And because you chose to let a third party cut into Sprint's profits on the phone they don't have to send you a case. If HTC works something out with the retailers like it did with Sprint then great, but otherwise leave it to the company selling you the phone to give you something not someone else.

I'm so torn on my bright blue case.
I love it, I hate it....I'm still using it.
I might use it until power skin makes a product for the evolte

I didn't get a case, what gives? I didn't order online, I called Sprint directly. I don't think that should make a difference.

Did you order it before 5/17? If so i would think it would be otw. Could also call them see what's up. All in all tho its only a $5-$10 case. It also seems to be random what color or kind you get. May also be running low on supply. Not sure how many pre-orders they had. Doesn't hurt to call them and ask.

Whats everyone think if the free blue case?
I like the quality alot as compared to the $5 case I bought on ebay
I wasnt a fan of the color at first but now its growing on me. The blue I won't be using at work becuase its less professional but its a great casual case
I'm currently waiting for the seidio surface with holster to arrive
Also I have a flygrip that has arrived but I'm waiting to see what case to put it on.

Radio Shack called for appointment!

I just got a call from radio shack confirming that I was still on for the 24th. So this means that they must be getting in their shipments. I was told that I could come in at 8am on friday to pick up. They usually open at 9am so they must be doing pre-orders before they open. not sure on that. But anyway.
on a side note:
I went to my local sprint store today and the CS there had a evo 3d to play with. I am very excited for this phones arrival. I think the the camera quality is good. Its not any worse than the evo 4g, I have to wait til fri to go in depth with it but I feel 100% positive about using my upgrade for this phone. Also when in portrait the parallax barrier has no effect on the screen, being, I could not detect it even being there. In landscape I had the same result.

radio shack already has them in
I went to my local radio shack yesterday. The manager just happens to be my friend because I rooted his and his wife's phones. But anyways he showed me the phone and I was able to look at one and hold it. Unfortunately they sku isn't in there system yet so he couldn't sell it to me yet but he will contact me as soon as he can if it's before Friday. Ill keep you radioshakers posted as soon as I know. But they are definitely there already.

yeah i just got confirmation my local RS has 15 of them and all the cases and screen protecters. mine got them into about a hour ago

Called my RS earlier and spoke to the manager. They're not opening early but he said since I was first on the list, to come by 15min before opening...so 9:45 for me. I wish the HTC kickstand case was out for Friday but it looks like we won't see it til July

Picking mine up on Friday from RS too! Gonna be the best lunch break I've ever had from work.

Hell yeah, I unfortunately have to work also, but not till 3pm. Then I have sat sun off to play with the beast! It will be hard not to get yelled at for playing with my phone to much on friday. The only reason ill get yelled at will be because they are jealous Iphone sheep, that dont like other ppls phone to be better.

Dude! Radioshack called me yesterday to set up an appointment.
The guy who called me told me he contacted Sprint for me and got my upgrade pushed forward (originally not till Sep. 1st), so I get my 3D for 100$ after turning in my old Evo. I was looking to spend around $500. Bonus!
Radioshack (or at least this employee) just made my experience with them sweeter than I could imagine. Definitely tipping this dude $40 +.
Can't wait till Friday, thanks Radioshack!

Well I called the Radio Shack here in Miami and they are opening at 6 in the morning . I wonder why tho. I'm guessing a lot of people Pre-Order it . He told me I wouldn't be getting a phone . Lol that got me scared . He told me only people that Pre-Order it will be getting one . I told him I was the second person who did pre-order . I'm be there at 5:30 in the morning . Can't wait .

So in all he was like ok come at 6 .. Can't wait

After the Radio shack guy did the work to get him his upgrade early you're going to tell him to screw the poor guy out of his commission?

The rs hear called too. Offered to ask her boss to open early just so I could pick up my phone! hah.

Got mine today in the mail and LOVE IT...!!!!!!

Giving up my spot and keeping the Evo.
Edit: You know... just called and found that there's no risk for giving it a try for 30 days, so I just might do that. Hmm. Decisions.

Hmmmm, thanks for the info! Sprint told me $100, then they told me they weren't accepting any old Evos. I don't know if anyone working there knows whats going on, so I swayed away from them. And, I already bought a no refundable gift card from RadioShack, so I might as well use it I guess.
Thanks though

Anyone preorder through Sam's club?

I preorderd my evo lte through Sam's club for $150. Has anyone received their phone yet? I'm getting anxious! I got an email last week saying that it would only be in the warehouse for 1 hour before they would ship it out to me. Haven't heard anything since.

I work there. From my knowledge none of the stores in my area (Houston) have gotten them in. We even got a memo saying to expect delays because of the customs incident and that the possible launch date would be Wednesday May 30th. Also said phones would probably ship this week.

The Stores in the Charlotte area haven't gotten any either.. and probably want for awhile.. Sams Club seems to get the latest and greatest on the site months before the store ever sees it.. ( I've been with sams for over 10 years )

If you pre-ordered through Sams they will Ship out Tomorrow (they'll email you tracking number) and you should get it by Wednesday. (Which is the Release date).

Yea, I was considering doing the same thing. But Im really torn between the 2. Evo lte or galaxy nexus. I was initially waiting on the g-nex, but after realizing there is no sd slot (which I dont think I can coupe with) and a lower res cam (why on earth would they do that) plus the addition to the evo's cam abilities, slow mo + hdr and to top it off with an 8 mp cam and 2.0 fstop and micro sd, its kinda hard to ignore all of that, not to mention a faster processor (which im sure the gnex will be oc'ed and the evo too) and slightly bigger screen.
PLUS (caps intended) for only $150? Its like I have no other choice but to pick the evo over the gnex (altho I know primarily what Im speaking is entirely off topic) so yea, I will be pre-ordering this week sometime, not knowing how long I will be waiting.
To answer your question though (which I've forgotten by now): N/A

I just ordered one yesterday and it said 2-3 weeks before shipping. I'm not good for a new phone till June 1, so they'll put it through then. And the insurance is only $6.99 a month.

Just checked my order status and it still says approved awaiting inventory. 7:55 pm on Monday.

Just checked again and it still says waiting on inventory. Has everyone else who pre ordered through sprint and best buy received their phones?

As far as the webpages looking the same, thats just a Portal Tool they use to order phones/services through Service providers, however that's all they have in common, stocking/inventory is still through Sams Club and webpage has nothing to do with that.
Clearly the Sams Rep. had no clue about the phone being held by customs. Getting my hopes ugh curse her!
Anyways so i called Wal-Mart last week (before pre-ordering from Sams) and they tell me that they don't carry Sprint.
I go today to get a few things and i checked out their Electronics section just for the heck of it. SURE ENOUGH I SEE SOMEONE purchasing the Brown Boxed LTE EVO! Boy did i get excited, so when I ask that i wanted one too, they told me that, that was the last one. and they had no clue when they were going to get more in. UGH!
I also slightly fussed about why someone told me that they didn’t carry sprint, they gave me no response, just said “I don’t know why they told you that.” Talk about poor communications to customers.

I also pre-ordered in store through Sam's Club for $149.74. Their orders are handled by cellstores.com which is a service of Simplexity. We are all in the same boat as the Wirefly group. Waiting without any info from Sam's Club, Sprint or Simplexity.
Although they did tell me in store last Thurs (5/24) that it would ship Friday (5/25) and I would have it Tuesday (5/29) because of the holiday. Didn't believe her then and I absolutely do not believe her now.

I sent a pretty nasty email to Sam's and they offered me a Bluetooth headset. I really don't want a cheap headset I want to know when will I get my phone! I guess in the future I will use BB or Sprint.

Just got this email...Sound familiar?
Dear xxxxxxxx,
We are very sorry for the inconvenience that you have experienced with your preorder of the Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE through Sam's Club Mobile. While the situation is completely out of our control, this is certainly not the sort of customer experience that we endeavor to provide and we regret the delays you are experiencing.
At this point, you probably know that inventory for the HTC EVO 4G LTE is severely constrained nationwide. The latest information we have is that US Customs officials only released a small fraction of the device last week and the entire first shipment was just released (see article for additional information). We are in constant contact with Sprint and will send you an email with the latest official information as soon as we can.
In the meantime, we appreciate your patience. As a token of our appreciation for your loyalty, we are upgrading your shipping to Next Business Day at no additional charge. It isn’t much, but we feel it is the least we can do.
Thanks again for shopping with us. We greatly appreciate your business and hope to be shipping your new HTC EVO 4G LTE soon.
Sincerely,
Your Friends at Sam's Club Mobile
Sorry but Sam's offers Next Business Day Shipping from the get go. Thanks for nothing.....

I actually just received that email. Ill post the one I got earlier offering the headset.

What do these things go for?

Thinking of ditching the Rezound and going with a Nexus. Phone has been out for 7 months, ICS has been out for longer than that and we still don't have it officially, and by the time we do, Jelly Bean will be out which will NOT be coming to the Rezound, etc...
I am just really tired of having phones that are always a year behind the curve in regards to the OS.
Even when the OTA comes out, if they don't release the source code, we won't get RIL working and so the Rezound just seems like it is already at a dead end, development wise.
You can already see most of the devs moving on to newer phones. The latest leak is likely the OTA, so apart from a bug fix release or two over the next 6 months, this phone has hit the end of the road IMHO.
I am thinking of selling it and getting a Nexus. So my question is, what would a Rezound in excellent shape, with a couple cases, S-Off, etc... go for on the used market?
I am not trying to list it here or sell it, but I rather just seeking advice on whether it is even worth my while to sell it.

Hit the market up and compare.
ReZound

Will do. I guess the part that sucks is that you cannot buy the unlocked one for $399 because it is GSM. I have to spend $800 on the one for Verizon. Not sure I can justify that... hmmm....

On the other hand, whatever you buy today will be long in the tooth 6 months from now. It's tough, not to mention expensive, to stay on the bleeding edge.
It's your money of course but I've always felt that if the phone did what I needed, it didn't make sense to replace it unless something dramatically better, faster, whatever, came along.

I would honestly wait, because after having a rezound you will be unhappy with the nexus
It has a inferior screen, bad signal issues, charging issues, and it overheats like no phone I've ever had

Yep regretting getting the rezound after coming from the incredible I probably should have waited for a better phone upgrade.

Yeah should have waited for the Nexus or s3

first off swappa is a joke if you ask me. here look
http://swappa.com/buy/htc-rezound-verizon
$250, $260, and $330
i sold an s-off rezound with box, beats, charger all cables etc, extended battery and a case for $375 yes $375 on ebay. Last week too. phone even had nicks on top right corner from being dropped and was stated in ebay auction and was bought for my buy it now within 24 hours. so if are going to sell for $300 you are nuts. if you know know what you are doing you can make money on these phones. i have made good money on all my phones in my signature ($100+). i also bought a brand new insurance replacement off a lady for $260 and was sold for $425 a few months ago. So by all means you can get money out of it. dont stand for the idiots saying well on swappa and xda want to sell they only go for $250. screw them they are trying to steal it from you!!! you can sell for $325+ easy.
go ahead i know somebody wants to flame me......

I would honestly wait, because after having a rezound you will be unhappy with the nexus
It has a inferior screen, bad signal issues, charging issues, and it overheats like no phone I've ever had

Signal used to be bad, but it's actually pretty good now after the update. Rezound overheats worse IMO, my CPU only hits about 65-70C. That's when im playing LE while tethering and switching to surf the web. The screen could be better, but it's passable and looks nice when you play HD videos. HD IPS displays make me jizz, all that extra detail.. Shame Sammy used pentile, losing so much detail cause of it.

Man is right. I sold my used Droid 3 for like $250-$275. Just post it and someone will buy it, make it seem more appealing than it actually is.

Will do. I guess the part that sucks is that you cannot buy the unlocked one for $399 because it is GSM. I have to spend $800 on the one for Verizon. Not sure I can justify that... hmmm....

Swappa is worthless so is craigslist, wanna get into a price war options? It's worth what someone will pay for it. That's life, get over it. Just because your car blue books at 4k, and the car is in incredible shape, doesn't mean someone who wants it real bad won't pay 5 or 6k. Get a life, and gtfo

Congrats on getting a Note 2 man! Hopefully we'll still see you around every once in a while.
Mind if I asked where/how you got it?
My upgrade isn't available for a while, and I'm not sure adding a line and then paying the extra 10 bucks a month for it to get the subsidized fee is worth it. What's the most economical way? Is ATT selling it off contract for $599 like they do with most if their phones?

Hey james...Actually me and my wife signed up for AT&T in March 2012...I've had a few problems with my phone...But I called 611 and got through a sales rep...I asked politely since am having some phone issues if could receive a early upgrade...He asked his supervisor and whalaa..The phone is 299.I received the upgrade for my line but not my wifes....(she has a s2) And that was it...I had to use a credit card to put the phone on a hold until it ships then they charge the credit card...Its worth a shot if you had it...the worst they can say is no..But if so..Sell your current device in CL for 300 or 350 and use that for your upgrade..so your not using anything....Try it ..Can't hurt :thumbup:

I'm in the same situation with my RF and SD issues. I'll give it a shot asap.

what kind of sd card do you have?..I just realized mine is a 16gb class 2 sd card...That's a very slow read/write speed ..
There was a sd card fix somewhere I would try First though before deleting anything I'll look for it .
Here is some info on classes of micro sd cards and there read/write speeds I found this...Am getting a faster one for the note2....
http://samsunggeeks.com/2012/05/20/micro-sd-cards-smartphones-speed-class-explained/

I was also having trouble with my Note and finally after speaking to a supervisor, he said I could get any other phone for the upgrade price (except the iphone). I told him I wanted the Note 2. He told me the system would not let him order that since it had not come out yet. This was last Friday. I told him I would wait then. He said he was putting the offer in my case notes. So I plan to call back this Friday and hopefully get the Note 2.

Having trouble with calls. I keep fading in and out and my wife is so frustrated she won't answer my calls. I can hear the other party, but they can't hear me and it happens no matter what location I am at.

Mine is up on CL but I'm gonna go the nexus 4 route.

I'm with wish on this one...My note 2 will be in my hands tomorrow. I hate to leave this little community. It's always hard leaving when I upgrade because of all the cool people on here. The plus side is that usually most the people get your next phone also. Well, time to travel on...

This is a rather long narrative, but it illustrates the inconsistency of dealing with AT&T. I know we have all have read posts in these forums and thought to ourselves that they must be lying, because I tried the same thing, but I did not get that result. So anyway I called this morning to get my upgrade and was told I must have misunderstood, because I had owned my phone for only 8 months and it is impossible to get an upgrade. I said there were supposed to be notes on this, and they said there were, but it was unclear whether it was a standard upgrade or just an early upgrade, and that they were not able to contact the supervisor who I spoke to. They said they still wanted to help and the fourth person I spoke to came up with this elaborate plan. I would add a dummy line for $10 a month and they could have my new phone added to this number. They would give me $150 credit and also credit 6 months of email ($90) so the $10 for the 24 months of my commitment would be a wash. I told him that I did not want any of my plan to change, since much of it is grandfathered rates. He said he could code it so it would stay the same. So right before he was to confirm, he said sorry, I would have to change to a family plan. I said no, and asked him why he could code in this complicated plan, but couldn't do some code for an upgrade. He said he couldn't and after a 2 hour phone conversation I was back at square one. So this afternoon I called back to find out what it would cost me to discontinue service and decided I would switch to another carrier and get a new Note 2. The guy asked me why I was canceling my service, I told him and he said he looked at my account and I have really been put through the wringer. He said he could help, and I said I have heard that line before. About ten minutes later he came back on the line said he had authorized an upgrade and for my inconvenience will deduct $50 from the price and charge me $249.99. He also said he will throw in free priority shipping and I will receive it Monday. After giving him my credit card number and thanking him he said wait, I see your last statement has just come out, to keep you as a valued customer, we will pay that also, I am marking that as paid right now. You could have knocked me over with a feather. As I was typing this, I received my email confirmation that it has already shipped. What a crazy deal.

old phone Activation.

hello there i have an Samsung galaxy s epic touch , that the power button doesn't work, can i active it and take it to a sprint store and see if they repair it?

I believe you should be fine doing that. I've done it before with $4 esrp (equipment service repair program) twice...switched phone onto account, waited a day or so and then went in and played dumb on why I was having issues (software issue caused by me that prevented booting/reprogramming/reinstallation of software). Most likely if they aren't able to fix it, they'll order a refurb for ya. Depends on servicability of the phone etc (evo 3d and EVO LTE being a bit more work for them from what I was told) I'd advise doing it at a corporate location. Faster and less hassle. Hope it helps ya and works out.

Well I believe you can search on sprint.com (I think it even says corporate next to the address etc.), try finding location in sprint zone app same way (if you still have it installed), or you can even call sprint and ask them to locate one for you closest to your current location, you can stop into a location you know of and just ask em if they are. Hope that points ya in the right direction.

You 2 idiots and many more like yourselves are the reason why our deductables keep going up. You think your scamming sprint and getting one over on them. Guess what your not, your screwing the rest of us. Sprint will not take that money out of their bottom line, they will take it from us. The TEP and ESRP plans are for your current phones not ones you have laying around and want fixed because you are to cheap to pay for the repair yourself. When Sprint raises the fees for these programs people like you guys will be the first to make a post here on xda complaining that sprint is nickel and dimeing us to death and that you've had enough and you going to another carrier. End of rant.......

If you reactivate an old phone, Sprint will offer their protection plan for it. I found this out a few weeks ago when I screwed up my LTE for a few days and didn't have the time to fix it. I asked why they'd offer it on my old Hero and they said they have to whenever a phone is activated. Personally, I don't buy extended warranties or protection plans for any of my electronic devices. I just found it weird that they'd do something like that.

I'm really hoping you're not getting rude towards me in any form or fashion. I've done nothing but be helpful in this forum from day one for 5+ years or even more....First off just want you to check yourself before you go off on someone that is simply replying to his question...I've been with sprint for quite some time, during which I've had replacements approved because they couldn't be fixed at the time and more recently I've worked for a sprint repair center and as long as they were paying for the insurance, we collected the appropriate deductibles and phones were replaced if we couldn't repair in-house (which a lot of times we did do repairs and dis t even charge the customer). TEP along with the other alacarte coverages (esrp, erp), transfer from phone to phone on each particular line. Only way I can explain that it's NOT screwing sprint and other users is because out of all the people that are paying for the insurance or even know they have it on their account (which you'd be surprised how many are shocked to hear they are paying for such coverage) maybe 25% actually take advantage of it....now I CAN agree if you abuse the system (ie:different replacement phone on the same line every month) then that is BS. But if you're simply putting a phone back on a line and its defective and within warranty/replacement criteria, I don't see an issue with it. More than likely sprint will send a within warranty device back to manufacturer (like they should be) and honor a coverage on the device that just happens to have a minor issue that can be repaired and cycled back through as someone else's refurb....hope that makes sense to anyone reading this. To finish off I guess my wording for "playing dumb" wasn't the best. I guess just don't go into detail on how it got damaged so that they don't have a reason to charge a "ID10T" fee. If the place knows their stuff they will know how to get a replacement and not hit you too hard in the wallet.
