Been using this since we ordered our evos thru them the night they came out. Only works on the first two lines now, but still better than being a 'citi employee'. ;)
[EVO 4G General] EStone9:
This deal only works on the first 2 lines? So if I get a Family plan with 4 lines it won't work for the 3rd and 4th?
[EVO 4G General] Droiddinho:
I'm a professional school student, but my comprehension skills are lacking right now... if I enroll in this(I've been with sprint about 9 months now) and I've been getting that 25% "citi employee" discount... is this student deal a better one?
[EVO 4G General] Product F(RED):
I believe this one is 23%
[EVO 4G General] RoseBuds:
If you're going to upgrade to a new phone or add a line to your plan then this deal would be great for you. You don't have to take the 23% discount, you can keep your 25%.
[EVO 4G General] JackieOoo:
What is the difference in the deal between upgrading and adding a line?
[EVO 4G General] JellyBeans8899:
I saw on the site that if you're upgrading you'll get the 15% off your monthly bill, $20 rebate, and free shipping. If you're adding a line you get everything the 15% monthly discount, $50 service credit, waived activation fee, free shipping, free car charger, $25 rebate.

Sprint Deal
[EVO 4G General] HotDog212:
I've already upgraded my phone but would like to get 15% or 23% off my bill for sure, can I still get that?
[EVO 4G General] JellyBeans8899:
I'm pretty sure you'd have to upgrade the phone with studentrate to get the discounts, not positive
[EVO 4G General] nimitz87:
just sent in the info wish I knew about this before I upgraded to the 4G a few days ago...

hopefully I can still get the discount?

[EVO 4G General] chrischoi:
I work at a Sprint store, EVERYONE is eligible for a discount. You don't have to buy anything from that pathetic site. Go to your local store. I apply discounts to accounts all the time.

The easiest discount EVERYONE is eligible for is a basic 10%, if you have a AOL / AIM account, you get an Affinity discount. Next is a Credit Union...
[EVO 4G General] JUST2SUAVE:
Career student?

Sent from my Evo, ho!
[EVO 4G General] JellyBeans8899:
You can get a 23% off discount if you go through that site and you only need your email to register. Why not take advantage of 23% instead of 10%?
[EVO 4G General] SolsticeZero:
I think he's just saying you don't need to do it through a certain site. I got my 25% discount for working for Xerox, and I went in store to do it.
[EVO 4G General] Neo3D:
Can I get the new Evo 3D with this? I'm hoping StudentRate will run a killer promo on the Evo 3D, just like they did the Evo last year!
[EVO 4G General] Jacks0870:
I saw they have a pre-order going on with their discounts for the Evo 3D and Nexus S
[EVO 4G General] LarryBoyG:
If I've had my phone for a couple months is it still possible to do this?
[EVO 4G General] JellyBeans8899:
I think you have to buy the phone through that site to get the discounts.
[EVO 4G General] CaseyCat:
If you sign up for this deal and get the 23% off your monthly bill, when does it expire?
[EVO 4G General] JackieOoo:
So I followed the link posted on here to that website's deal, filled out the form is asks you to fill out and almost instantly receievd an email from the site which gave me a link to go to where I can make the purchase online and get the discounts!
[EVO 4G General] plmiller0905:
I had this discount for my Evo last year. But my wife talked us into switching to ATT but now we're back with Sprint. I have the Arrive and will be switching to the Evo 3D when that's released.

But my question is can I still get this discount? I completed this form awhile ago and haven't gotten a response/email yet. Should I complete another form?
[EVO 4G General] plmiller0905:
Plus one...that's my question as well.
[EVO 4G General] JackieOoo:
If you didn't get a response I would fill out the form again. I got an email back shortly after I filled it out.
[EVO 4G General] EStone9:
I ended up getting a family plan with 4 lines. I got the $50 service credit, $30 rebate, and the $125 service credit..for each line!! plus 15% off the bill a month. I'm so happy I switched to Sprint and if I am unhappy within 30 days I can cancel with no fees.
[EVO 4G General] plmiller0905:
That's similar to what I got also. I switched to sprint got $50 off my phone, $125 service credit for one line so far, waiting for the additional $125 credit to be added for the other line I transferred over from ATT...plus I got the 15% off the bill.
[EVO 4G General] JellyBeans8899:
I'm also happy with Sprint and the discounts I got.
[EVO 4G General] CaseyCat:
What's the deal with the Evos being out of stock online??
[EVO 4G General] RoseBuds:
Pretty sure their screens are made in Japan so that could be the issue. You can just order another phone and exchange it at the sprint store for the Evo if you're looking to get the online deal.
[EVO 4G General] CaseyCat:
Ohh that makes sense. Thanks for responding. You're allowed to just exchange at the store? Is there any fees with doing that?
[EVO 4G General] smuglife101:
This is great, thanks OP
[EVO 4G General] thunder2132:
Not too bad. I wish I could combine this with my other discount though, 46% off would be pretty darn nice ;)
[EVO 4G General] JellyBeans8899:
46% would be amazing! haha but anything is better than nothing.
[EVO 4G General] RoseBuds:
I know Sprint has a 30 day guarantee that allows you to return or exchange without any fees. I'm pretty sure you wouldn't have problem.
[EVO 4G General] Lizzy345:
So you can order a phone online yourself and still get the discounts? You don't have to do it over the phone with someone?
[EVO 4G General] abdeviation:
I scoured through this thread and I'm confused.

Do I have to order a new phone to get this discount? Does it work with SERO?

I'm planning on jumping ship to EVO3D when it's released.
[EVO 4G General] abdeviation:
I just filled out their Preorder Evo3D form. NO emails yet
[EVO 4G General] RoseBuds:
You have to be getting a new phone, new line, or upgrade to use the deal. I'm not sure, but I don't think it works with SERO plans.
[EVO 4G General] Dratini:
I'm buying someone's SERO plan so hopefully it works. It would cost me a little more than 40 if so! That would be awesome.
[Captivate Accessories] eb8806:
This case looks identical to the $15 Amzer Luxe Argyle Skin Case. Only $3.99 with free shipping. Seems like a great deal so i thought i'd share

Sorry can't post links

Paste : "GEL CASE COVER SKIN FOR SAMSUNG CAPTIVATE I897" into the ebay search and you'll see it

Ebay Seller: gadget.robot
[Captivate Accessories] hmodel88:
I saw that today as well. Did you wind up buying it?
[Captivate Accessories] Little Dragon:
i see the same thing from the seller e-chosen

good feedback ratings. look just like the Argyle... anyone??
[Captivate Accessories] eb8806:
I ordered it after the post. Should have it in about 10 days. I'll probably upload some piks wen i get it.
[Captivate Accessories] Aftashok:
ill wait for you guys to guinea pig it.... i wonder if they're actually TPU cases, or if they're like the silicone gel.
[Captivate Accessories] macaroo412:
ARGH, no US sellers so far.....
[Captivate Accessories] Little Dragon:
i just bought one. it'll take a while for it to arrive
[Captivate Accessories] eb8806:
Got the case.

I got the case yesterday and it is exactly the same as the Amzer Luxe Argyle TPU case. It fits like a glove.:D
[Captivate Accessories] evndude:
Did you get the black one? If so, is it actually black or is it just the smoke grey one?

Either way I'm glad to hear it's not a knock off, or it's at least a high quality knock off, so I don't have to wait for Amzer to get them in stock. Thanks.
[Captivate Accessories] eb8806:
I got the "black" one. It's not really black it's a smoke grey but with the phone in it it does look like dark grey/ black. It's a good quality case and doesn't add much bulk. For the price it's a steal.
[Captivate Accessories] aloant:
Here's a picture of the eBay case...

- Fit seems good except for a loose spot on the lower lip that you can see in the picture.

- The covered buttons are a little harder to push.

- Tapping/swiping and pushing the lower buttons around the edges of the case seems fine. I read some cases make it harder...

I like it. :D
[Captivate Accessories] han.azuki:
jeez that loose spot is terribly bad :(
[Captivate Accessories] eatkabab:
I agree, that loose lip seems like it can get extremely annoying.

It looks like we now have two people that have received this case. do both of them have the same problem?

I recently ordered mine. Should arrive by next mon/tues
[Captivate Accessories] sayurann:
I just bought one from touch.world

I will post pics when I got it...
[Captivate Accessories] Clienterror:
Shipped from Hong Kong? No thanks, I'll spend like 3 more dollars and get it before Christmas. I got a new wind screen for my CBR 600RR from Hong Kong and it took 21 BUSINESS days to get to Illinois, so over a month. After that I refuse to buy from there unless it's like an insane price difference and I don't care if I ever get it.
[Captivate Accessories] aloant:
Wasn't really bothered by it, but I tried some hot water bending today:

Not completely perfect, but does look better.
[Captivate Accessories] aloant:
Ymmv obviously, but for me this took 10 days (ordered 8/28, received 9/7) to ship to California.
[Captivate Accessories] han.azuki:
that looks much better :)
[Captivate Accessories] Clienterror:
That's not too bad, I have no idea why it took so long the first time.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897
[Captivate Accessories] Little Dragon:
so i bought the 3.99 case off this seller (free shipping from Hong Kong...and i'm in Canada) and it arrived 5 days later (on friday...ordered on Sun. also ordered a Realook shield the same day and arrived on Fri as well (US shipper)). great product so far, haven't played with it much yet. the back is a bit glossy but it did provide enough grip in my hand and on common surfaces.

i got the same and your description is correct.

the bottom of mine is a bit looser than your hot water bended version (lol...how was that done exactly? sounds like something from Avatar the cartoon)

i'll try to post some pics when i get a chance. but i'd say it was well worth the price. IMO, i'd say grab two of those cases and all of these for an extra $10:

http://cgi.ebay.com/9ITEM-LEATHER-C...Accessories&hash=item3cb07101d5#ht_3202wt_975

or an 11 item package for another extra $5...lol
[Captivate Accessories] eatkabab:
WOW this is the BEST phone case I have ever seen. Its the perfect texture. Not so sticky to get stuck in your pocket, but will stay put if placed on a dashboard or on your knee. the absolute best fit I've seen. Fit to the point that its a bit difficult to get on/off. The pattern isn't really noticeable which is good since I'n not too crazy about it, and the phone is still impressively thin compared to its size.

The case I received does NOT have the loose bottom lip as in the images above. It is as perfect as can be.

I also didn't go for the "buy it now" on ebay. I bid and waited for the auction to finish. It was a dollar cheaper than the buy it now. Total cost: $3.99, value: I'd say about $12 would be reasonable for this case...

Edit: 2 weeks shipping to San Francisco
[Captivate Accessories] evndude:
Mine also took about two weeks to ship to CA (Socal) and didn't have the loose lip so fits perfect. I'm very impressed with it, especially for how cheap it was.
[Captivate Accessories] mxk271:
Hi, I posted this yesterday but I guess it got deleted with the maintenance. I was wondering which seller you guys used on ebay. I want to know which sellers ship cases w/o the loose lips. I want to buy the 3x combo pack. Thankx!
[Captivate Accessories] Little Dragon:
Check the previous page....
[Captivate Accessories] mxk271:
I did... gadget.robot mentioned in the op isn't selling anymore. and the e.chosen mentioned by a couple has been started that they've received ones with a few looselips. What I wanted to know is the sellers that sent out ones w/o defects

unlike you I do my research before leaving comments.

how about you don't comment on things you know nothing about?...
[Captivate Accessories] shengshuyang:
i got the case tonight, from e-chosen. it is really perfect and beautiful! and i dont see any problem in pressing the volume and lock bottons. the only thing is thatit took forteen days to arrive and i already got many scraches.....
[Captivate Accessories] tweek1020:
For the money, this is hands down the best cell phone case i have ever ordered. It looks nice, avaialble in sevearl differnt color options and cheap. I ordered mine from amazon and got it in about 3 days. I would reccommend this case to any Cappy owner.
[Captivate Accessories] tpadela:
i cant find this case for 3.99 anymore.. anyone help me out?
[Captivate Accessories] Little Dragon:
Why don't you quit crying over a $4 case and just get one? Mine barely has a loose lip and I don't care. Your problem, not mine
[Captivate Accessories] mxk271:
lol hit a soar spot did i? y don't you go crawl back up your mommy's womb and have a nice long cry. i'm sure you'll feel a whole lot better then (:
[Captivate Accessories] droid330:
yeah,i got a green one from amazon and it fits my cappy like a glove:D

I don't know if this is the right place to ask this but does anyone know a way to change the sound the keyboard sound for typing? I hate the vibrate so I turned it off but I also hate the sound it makes so I turned that off too. I want it to make a soft pop noise similar to the iPhone. I searched but couldn't find anything. Thanks in advance.

I think that HTCclay uses CM for the base. So you proberly could use CM based themes on HTCclays roms. If it is, Metamorph is the easiest way to go.

[HD2 Accessories] richo27:
Many people complain about the short battery life of the HD2. Many complain about the bulkyness and uglyness of the extended batteries on offer. Many dream that a larger than stock capacity battery of the same size as stock will become a reality.

I am interested to know what is important for HD2 users, you cant have slimness with larger battery capacity, this is a law of physics. So tell me, if a solution came about that would significantly increase the battery capacity (beyond 2400mah), look good (not a lump on the back of the phone), provide a flat surface on the back of the phone, allow you to use your spare stock size batteries without the need to swap them all the time, with the only real compromise of doubling the thickness of the phone, would you buy it for a reasonable price (less that $50)?

I guess my basic question is, whats more important, slimness or capacity (lots of capacity I mean too, 3000mah+)?
[HD2 Accessories] santroph:
I must say that I have never complained about the battery life when using Windows Mobile, even with heavy use I could get 2 days of life from it.

BUT since I'm now on a daily basis with Android, I must say that this is a problem, I can barely get to a full day with moderate to heavy use.

Now about you question, I WOULDN'T USE IT.

I like the size and feel of my HD2 (TMOUS one) and it happens that I have two extra batteries (bought because of android) even never having to use them yet I do change them and charge outside of the phone for easiness of not having to be near a wallplug everytime.

I just put those in the back of my phone to have an ideia of the size it would be with such an adapter. I would be inpratical to have this, so deep and big. It takes the easy and sleek feel of the HD2, to a bulky Kaiser (or more) stile.

Just buy a new battery, and if needed change it ONCE a day, ONE reboot in some sporadical day is better than a ALWAYS BIG phone wich is used to the full length of battery life rarely. :P.

My two cents.

Santroph
[HD2 Accessories] geon106:
You get nearly a full day with moderate to heavy use? Since I put android on I barely get a full day with little use
[HD2 Accessories] richo27:
Interesting, considering the amount of complaining about the battery life, slimness is still more important. I can see why these fake 1600mah batteries are selling like hot cakes.

Thanks for the input! Keep it coming, id love to hear everyone's 2 cents on this issue.
[HD2 Accessories] ap3604:
Extended batteries make the beautiful Hd2 look like crap.

To give an example: If you could bring a bulky backpack of energy drinks with you all throughout the day to give you more energy BUT you had to wear that bulky backpack 24-7 (even at the office at work, while your going to the bathroom, EVERYWHERE) would you?

I sure wouldn't. I don't care how much more energy I would have throughout the day...

The only people who need extended batteries are people running Android since it sucks down the battery like crazy.
[HD2 Accessories] theabsurdman:
battery extender a better solution.

i have a gum pro 4400mAh battery extender. it can charge the hd2 2.5x from flat and since it can deliver 1A, you can use the hd2 while it's being charged. its small size and the fact you don't need to power the phone down to top it up make it a more practical solution for me than any extended battery.
[HD2 Accessories] lude219:
I like the slimness of the HD2 and I intend to keep it that way.
[HD2 Accessories] DN41:
the slimness is just perfect in pocket...the hd2 is huge, but thankfully slim. if it would be both, i couldnt take it with me :D

and for me the extented one looks horrible..and i'm just a WM-User, so i have no batterydrainproblem :D

DN41
[HD2 Accessories] Sam2k:
Does anyone know if it is possible to power the HD2 from the micro USB supply while I swap batteries. I don't want to have to do a soft reset which loses what you are doing. But I'm worried that without the battery to absorb the power there is a risk of damaging the circuits?

I don't want to just try it because I already blew my main board by powering the USB through a cheep adapter and a Nokia charger that supplied too much power and had I to get it repaired/replaced. I'm hoping someone already knows. :???:

[HD2 Accessories] raysacr:
Get SetCPU and Autokiller. Make profiles with setcpu, and set autokill on agressive mode. Your phone should last more than a day with little use.
[HD2 Accessories] johnboatcat:
I was using my original battery for normal everyday use

and the extended 2400 ah with kickstand for times when I knew I would have heavy or extended use. Next thing I knew I was just leaving the extended in all the time. It goes days on a charge and is not noticeably bulkier in my pocket and I am slim and wear jeans. Actually feels easier to hang on to. Fits the hand better and all that juice is there whenever I might need it.
[HD2 Accessories] Marvlesz:
i voted battery capacity :

BC if u ran outta battery then the slimness will become just overweight.

but if u have battery capacity then it worth it ! :)

(Just a Point Of View)
[HD2 Accessories] ap3604:
I bought an extra battery off of ebay for $5.

The Hd2's battery is small enough to keep it in my wallet.

Why would anyone not keep a spare battery in their wallet/pocket and instead use a bulky battery case?
[HD2 Accessories] lusjash:
HD2 outdoor

I know, one can look crazy taking out HD2 somewhere out there in woods, but i do like wild hiking, and i do use GPS occasionally for getting directions. And My HD2 with Garmin well serves for that. For the battery - in my case i care about capacity, as my backpack and front pockets have enough space for "bulky" extension.

For "going green" - I have a wind charger (a device which charges itself when you bike using the power of wind, and can be used as a charger for mobiles), but it can charge the phone only up to 60%. So the spare battery for 3-4 days walk is a must have for my case.

My point is - It really depends on your needs. I am pretty sure extended thickness is somewhat a burden in everyday life.

Cheers

Correction: The wind charger sucks! Do not buy it. It has major flaws which render the device not worth the price.
[General Topics] fastblack:
Currently have an iPhone 4 for a personal phone, and I'll be getting a new phone for work. I'm deciding what I should order. My work only deals with AT&T or Verizon. I personally am fine with either network. I've never had problems with AT&T. Phone choices are basically the Captivate, the droid 2 and the droid x.

I am leaning toward the Captivate as I'm not so sure I'd like the physical keyboard on the droid 2, and the droid x screen may be a bit to large to be comfortable.

Any thoughts? UI wise I'm not set on either the Motorola or Samsung UI, all of the phones also have around the same specs as far as I know.
[General Topics] hiddengopher:
Go for the Captivate, but if you're looking for reliability as far as the network goes, get a Droid X
[General Topics] fastblack:
Like I said AT&T is not bad for me. At&t network is faster, although higher latency, and I can talk and use internet at the same time, so I'm fine with it.
[General Topics] j_rahman07:
i would also go for the captivate.
[General Topics] Anderdroid:
Captivate hands down. Droid X is too large.

Or get the Fascinate for Verizon when it comes.
