just ordered the communter

decided to get the commuter aswell as the bargain impact on play.com... found a 20% off code for otterbox.com so delivered to the uk total was $40.15 not too bad :) code is DiveShowOtterbox valid till 30th nov :D
[Streak 5 Accessories] flub:
ordered the defender from accessorydepot.net on the 12th, still waiting for delivery
[Streak 5 Accessories] bitziz:
Defender does take much longer time to deliver than the other two...
[Streak 5 Accessories] tina333:
Anyone any ideas how long del is to the uk from otterbox?

***update***

Wow... I don't kniw how it was possible but my case arrived within 3 days of ordering! Via fedex so it wasn't a uk warehouse or anything... amazing! I love the commuter (it is commuter not communter by the way) its perfect! Ill be getting all of them one by one :-)
[Streak 5 Accessories] pceasar:
Just got it yesterday, my GOD, its huge is what the hottie next to me said when she saw it and yes I'm talking about the Streak/Defender combination.

seriously, this may take some getting used to but on the other hand I feel that the device is pretty safe from falling, wouldn't want to be this guy "youtube[dot]com/watch?v=PVcqh-jCWts"
[Streak 5 Accessories] creamop66:
I got the Defender.........very happy my new toy is safe

mind you it is huge
[Streak 5 Accessories] robroy90:
I just did receive my Defender case yesterday. I am VERY impressed with it. It definitely is bulky, to say the least. But, if you have a screen protector on it (the one they included is actually pretty good - I am picky and think invisible shields suck) then I cannot envision a scenario where your Streak would see damage, aside than perhaps total immersion in water.

They pretty much thought of everything. The belt clip doubles as a kickstand. The belt clip has a cut-out so you can attach it to the factory Dell car mount. The device can go either display out or display into the holster.

I am also using the Defender for my HTC Evo, and my iPad. Same story there, maximum protection but the bulk is definitely there.

[Streak 5 Accessories] Rockpick:
Great review! Thanks for taking the time to post it.

Quick question -- would the impact case fit within the Defender 'holder'? I have the Impact (as it was the first one I could get my hands on) but love the idea of having a holster type (clip). Could they work together?

What's the best price you guys are finding? Looks like about $35 shipped on ebay (plus 2.5% off with ebates).
[Streak 5 Accessories] andymp3:
You took the words out of my mouth...lol...I was going to ask the same question...I did not do enough research and picked up the impact and only now realize that it did not come with a clip...Can it be paired up? Seems like the defender is much closer to the impact then the commuter...It would be great if it did fit...I hope it does...If not I am going to have to sell the impact to buy the defender...cheers
[Streak 5 Accessories] pceasar:
Probably not, the defender has two huge notches to keep it in place. From what I've seend of the impact it doesnt have those two/four notches on it. check the OP's pictures again, I believe its picture#9 from the top.
[Streak 5 Accessories] p51d007:
Love mine...what I do is pull the entire rig off my belt when I get in the car,

and if you look at the clip, it has the elongated notch that lines up PERFECTLY

with a lot of GPS windshield mounts. I have the Dell mobile dock, and if you pop off the holder for the streak, the notch lines up perfectly with the defender notch on the belt clip.

Looks like I,m cursed. I tried to order commuter case from otterbox earlier today, when I confirmed order it came up with error card had been refused please check card details. I did this twice more with same error so I tried my debit card same responce so I gave up, about an hour later I got call from barclays asking about my use of debit card on American site. I replied yes that was me but card got refused to which she replied no it went through & I will have to take it up with retailer. I then checked my credit card & have been charged 3 times on that card too, credit card company says its pending so they cant do nothing about it yet !!

So in total otterbox have charged me 4 times for a case that I havent even got a order no. for as site said all attempts had failed.

So if you gonna order off otterbox be carefull!!!!!
[Streak 5 Accessories] Troute:
I've had similar problems ordering off a U.S. website, though in my case the seller contacted me and said they had canceled the extra orders. I think maybe it's something to do with whatever shopping cart they use and UK cards.
[Streak 5 Accessories] Rockpick:
I have the impact... I'll have the defender tomorrow! :) Just tracked it and its VERY close! :)
[Streak 5 Accessories] flub:
Otterbox haven't replied to 2 emails i have sent them. Not good service at all
[Streak 5 Accessories] tina333:
Don't forget their business hours will be opposite to ours so hopefully you'll hear from them tonight :)

I ordered the defender tues night and it arrived from usa today, that's two cases from them now and both reveived within 3 days of ordering! They must be pretty efficient.
[Streak 5 Accessories] flub:
did you pay ok ? I mean no probs with entering card details
[Streak 5 Accessories] tina333:
No problems at all, I paid with my visa debit and it went through immediately both times... maybe there was a glitch on their server right as you paid?
[Streak 5 Accessories] Rockpick:
Got my Defender case in and LOVE it. The Impact case will definitely not work with the Defender case due to the cutouts that accommodate the internal plastic case....

The Defender case is my new #1 case...love it!
[Streak 5 Accessories] deekdeek:
Got my defender today. Too bad my streak isnt here yet. :(
[Streak 5 Accessories] gpmg762:
Does the Commuter come with a screen protector?
[Streak 5 Accessories] twe69:
Yes my commuter came with a screen protector.
[Streak 5 Accessories] tina333:
I think they all do as standard, my defender and commuter both did :)
[Streak 5 Accessories] gpmg762:
Great. The streak just launched in Singapore and it's going to be hard finding accessories like screen protector for it. I will get a commuter and wait 4 my streak arrival next Monday.:)
[Streak 5 Accessories] tina333:
Ebay....??
[Streak 5 Accessories] streak4m3:
Commuter case: connection issue near audio jack

I just noticed that something is not lining up near the 3.5mm audio jack when I insert the audio cable to listen to music in the car. At best it produces sound from one of the speakers or sometimes there is no sound at all (there is also a buzzing sound coming from the speaker that doesn't get sound signal).

When I remove the case, I get stereo sound from both speakers in the car. Is anyone else noticing this problem? I have another Streak with the same case and can replicate the same issue on the other Streak case as well. I think perhaps something is misaligned or the design is just a tad bit off - but unfortunately it prevents me from using my Streak in the car for audio through speakers (music or navigation).
[Streak 5 Accessories] tina333:
I have all three cases using 1.4.6 but haven't noticed anything yet, I haven't used it with car or speakers yet though. Do apps work ok? Wouldn't it use the same receivers to gain signal? I don't know much about the hardware :)
[Streak 5 Accessories] streak4m3:
No, it's definitely the case, the hard shell to be exact. I have used various audio cables and the opening for the audio jack isn't wide enough so it prevents the cable to go all the way it. I may have to shave from the sides with a knife or something to get it to widen.
[Streak 5 Accessories] streak4m3:
Apps work fine. This is a fitment issue not a software or hardware. I just looked at the size (width) of the headset that came with the Streak - and it is not as wide as any of my audio cables. The headset connector actually fits through the opening all the way through (I removed the hard shell and could feed the whole connector through the hole) but when I try to do the same thing with a number of my speaker/audio cables they stop where the wide part of the connector meets the shell. That is the reason why I can't insert all the way in which results in the loss of stereo signal. So either I need to shave off some plastic or see if I can find an audio cable with a narrow(er) plug. By the way, I have all three cases too, and the same issue is when using the Defender case but I haven't checked the Impact yet (don't remember where I threw it :))
[Streak 5 Accessories] toronto65:
I got the Impact case.

Agree with the lint magnet comment. Probably the material gets statically charged with rubbing. There may be sprays to fix that...

If the Streak looked oversized before... it looks HUGE now :)
[Streak 5 Accessories] tina333:
Wait till you see it in the defender case.. you ain't seen nothing yet! ;)
[Streak 5 Accessories] streak4m3:
Very true.:D
[Streak 5 Accessories] Shadowphox:
Not sure if anybody added this yet, but just to reiterate:

The Otterbox Defender series belt clip has the prong receptors for the Car Dock kit. Currently, you have to remove the phone from any gel or case you have on it to be able to slide it into the car kit, but with the defender you just clip it on leaving it in its protective casing.

Just thought I would add.
[Streak 5 Accessories] deekdeek:
I hve the defender and ya its a little big to pocket. I just ordered commuter for everyday use.
[Streak 5 Accessories] vatk:
Hello guys, after buying virtually all android devices available in the market (seriously, but already sold all of them -from milestone 1 to desire to galaxy s, to motorola milestone 2 to defy to desire hd, to galaxy tab), i am back to dell streak (this proves to be my favorite device by far).

After reading all of your comments, i would like to ask:

After extensive use of any of these commuter cases (i am waiting for impact and commuter to be delivered to me), does the two glossy plastic areas (left and right of the screen - the plastic that covers the earpiece and softkeys i mean) get scratched?

I have already put a screen protector (as i do in every device i get), but i am afraid that these two glossy plastic areas will get scratched over time.

What is your impression for that?
[Streak 5 Accessories] mancterrier:
Lest hand side is covered. Right hand side isnt as you need it for your capacitive buttons. Hasnt been scratched here...
[Streak 5 Accessories] vatk:
Thank you for your answer.

Ok, i have just received my otterbox impact.

Guys, this thing is HUGE.

I have bought dozens of silicon cases, this is one of the best materials, BUT i won't be using my beautiful streak into this thing.

I am very careful with my devices and never throw them down, so the extra thickness is just a plain bulk for me.

It doubles the thickness of the device.

I have just ordered a nice leather case.

Let's see, i hope i haven't thrown out the window my money again...
[Streak 5 Accessories] marvin02:
Some pics of the Otterbox Impact compared with an cheap TPU case from eBay.

I like the look of the TPU case but after using the Impact for a day to try it I will be keeping the Impact on the phone.
[Streak 5 Accessories] borijess:
I have the tpu case and love it. It looks great and provides protection just not as good as the otterbox.

[Streak 5 Accessories] over2land:
Which car dock kit does it work with? Got any pictures?
[Streak 5 Accessories] kentt1:
I'm reasonably happy with the commuter case. The circular opening in the back is centered (well unless your really nit picky you'll notice it's off by 1-2mm or so), unlike some of the others I've seen that are way off.

I can't figure out why the speaker is off center. Maybe it's a stylistic choice but I think it looks silly. I've attached a picture because I haven't heard of anyone else noting this.

Looks good and has taken a drop like a champ (unlike me who freaked out, worrying that it would shatter like a thin sheet of glass).

I'm disappointed that this is probably the worst screen protector I've ever used. It attract finger prints like crazy. I clean it about 10+ times a day whereas before, using the stock screen protector, I was cleaning once every day or two. Also, it gets scratched up very easily. I'm noticing 2 scratches after just a week of mostly very careful use.

Also, the screen protector is smaller than the screen by more than I would consider acceptable.

My clarivue screen protector comes today!
[Streak 5 Accessories] borijess:
Its not off center its meant to be like that. The proximity censor is right next to your speaker. Cover that and you will have issues during phone calls.

Sent from the Iphone Killer
[Streak 5 Accessories] over2land:
OT, I know, and probably DA nooB question, but what does the proximity sensor do? I saw it in engineering/test mode and that was the first I'd heard of it.
[Streak 5 Accessories] marvin02:
The proximity sensor turns the screen off when you put the phone up to your face and then on when you remove it. It prevents accidental hang-ups or activation of other touch features when you're talking.
[Streak 5 Accessories] kentt1:
Cool. I didn't know that. For no reason in particular I had it in my head that the prox sensor was near the flash.
[Streak 5 Accessories] dufrenbk:
I just wanted to note my only gripe about the Commuter series...

I have several different sets of headphones I plug into the Streak and not all of the plugs fit. The slot cut to allow the plugs to go in is not wide enough. Other than that, I love the Commuter. I actually think the phone looks and feels better with it.
[Streak 5 Accessories] odyseus:
Just received mine from a US eBay seller, took about 3 weeks (USPS priority international) cost about £30 Inc postage but then got stung from uk customs for another £13!! They charge £9 for handling etc. So it's cost me in excess of £43, it's such a bummer you can't order it from the uk?
[Streak 5 Accessories] 2devnull:
Does anyone know if the silicon rubber that is part of the Defender case required? I assume the plastic cage fits into the holder part without relying on the silicon part.
[Streak 5 Accessories] stevenlong:
Looking at the one in front of me, the rubber case is not required.

Though not having it does make pushing the buttons a little harder.
[Streak 5 Accessories] 2devnull:
ah..makes sense, I was wondering if another slimmer silicone case would work that would have equal lip on both sides.

Hey, So I just installed Cognition.v2.3b4 and now I can't take pictures, or use any of the apps that require to use the camera, the apps always force close and the camera says "Camera Failed".

Any suggestion of what could have happen? or anyone have a solution, same problem? I really didn't want to flash again since I flashed 30 min ago...

I basically uninstaled all the apps that require the camera and rebooted, it's working now

[Nexus One General] Konqeror:
Before I call HTC, does having about 20-30 specs of dust near the top of the screen qualify for getting my phone replaced? I don't want to have to pay, but I would love if i could get rid of these. I have a small dent (only in the metal part) on the top left corner where most of the dust is. It was here way before this (dropped it about a week ago, almost cried), so it's not because of that. If this has happened to you how was HTC on the replacement?
[Nexus One General] greenstuffs:
the only way is to call them and find out, they are pretty nice and honored my warranty even though i wasn't the first owner.
[Nexus One General] khaytsus:
You really want a refurb?
[Nexus One General] smachine:
I too have some dust on the bottom. Im not original owner either. Not sure if i should try to get it fixed or just live with it. Mine is in perfect condition otherwise, without any scratch or imperfection, a refurb might comeback dustfree but could have other imperfections.
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
Yes. It's covered.
[Nexus One General] crawler9:
I had a single spec of dust under my screen and an unlocked bootloader from before the method to root without unlocking surfaced. "Expedited Repair" got my phone back to me after about 7 days with no charge, and they relocked my bootloader. Never had to unlock again to root which I was glad for, as I hated that padlock icon every time I rebooted.

I had a lot of dust under my screen and they sent me a refurb over night. Refurbs are just ones that failed QA and go back to be remanufactured.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iball8888:
I used to have cm6. When rc1 came out I had a lot of issues. Generally I liked cm6 and still recommend it. It was fast and my videos played flawlessly. I wanted 4g on my phone so I devise to switch roms. I tried a few different roms and they were great except one problem. My video were really laggy. Right now I am using Myn's Warm RLS 3 Rom and netarchy' recent stable cfs kernel also the most recent Wimax radio.

When I watch videos on rockplayer the videos are baggy like low fps. Also when I use ATK in cm6 it says i have 400M available even when u have 4 apps running but on these other roms I'm only getting 200-150M when having nothing running.

Also on all the roms I try I when I turn 4g on all it says is scanning. I live in Boston. Shouldn't there be 4g available? I upgraded to the newest wimax radio and its drill not connecting. Please help.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iball8888:
Please I need help
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
The video lag has been complained about a few times. The solution is cm6 or nothing, I think. You were getting much higher than you are now because htc sense, which is completely nonexistent in cm6, takes up a huge amount of memory. That is why a bunch of people don't like it. I personally love sense widgets, but hate the rest. The 4g issue: 4g is like AT&T service, spotty and incomplete. Bars can vary greatly by feet, and the 4g area is highly undeveloped. Try different areas where you know there is 4g. Or flash back to stock (or go extreme and unroot) and then try it. Good luck

[Galaxy Tab General] le0.br4zuc4:
Hey,

I just got a samsung tab at vzw, wa adv wondering if anyone know of a way of way to video chat over wifi to a computer or other tabs.
[Galaxy Tab General] monkeyboywa:
either use the built in software "Qik - video chat" or download from teh market place "tango".

I prefer tango as they seem to do better with lower network speeds. BTW, 3g speeds are slow but manageable for video chat (well i guess depends on how strong your 3g is..) and the person your calling has to have tango installed (i don't know if tango bypasses the need for a specific video chat enabled phone)

did this answer your question?
[Galaxy Tab General] le0.br4zuc4:
Thanks a lot, but i cant find qik in here on my tab, does the vzw version comes with it qik built in?

Im also going to try tango as well. Thanks
[Galaxy Tab General] ConceptVBS:
Tango is so much better I think , better video quality and performance.

You can also video chat with Apple products like iphone or ipod touch people.
[Galaxy Tab General] kwoodall:
Best as I can tell QIK doesn't come on Verizon's version of the Tab. Very odd. I suspect it's a reluctance to offer the service but you'll see if you browse their site they simple never mention that they've removed QIK from their Tab and their support people aren't even aware of it at all.

Kermit Woodall
[Galaxy Tab General] electronicopolis:
What about Fring? I am currently Androidless so I don't have a chance to see what Tango is all about as a comparison to Fring, which is better than Qik.
[Galaxy Tab General] kwoodall:
I like Fring as well but it's not working for the Tab. When I do the test call it shows the image from the FFC but nothing records for playback.

K
[Galaxy Tab General] mr. haison:
I am also using Tango on my Tab but I haven't tried the Yahoo messenger video chat yet so that might be a good one.
[Galaxy Tab General] electronicopolis:
Tango is pretty cool, saw it in action yesterday on an Evo that was chatting with an iPhone 4, I'm like, "She has an Evo?" "An iPhone 4? Is she on wifi?" The quality was just astounding compared to Fring and obviously compared to Qik, since Qik SUCKS.

So they were both on 3G, and it looked perfect. Tango it is.
[G Tablet Accessories] dkhilo:
Someone posted in the huge @ss thread that they thought the Kindle DX was about the same size as the GTablet.

I went ahead and ordered this:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Kindle-DX-Leath...&otn=4&po=LVI&ps=63&clkid=5004332251969071237

I'm happy with it so far, the DX is about half and inch wider, height is okay, so it can slide around a bit. I put some stick on velcro on the case and on the GTab, it isn't going anywhere now. I think I'm going to have to use superglue for the velcro on the case though, it's felt lined so it won't stick on for long. The only thing is the top elastic band is close to the power button, maybe Roebeet's electrical tape solution is in order.

UPDATE: Oh, well my fake pleather case has ding in the edge now. Maybe I need to get some of that liquid leather. ;P Happy with the sizing, just need to find something more durable. Maybe I'll use some of that new fangled electrical tape I hear is the new duct tape. ;)
[G Tablet Accessories] roebeet:
Electrical tape is the new duct tape:
[G Tablet Accessories] Crondar:
I need to do something like that, was thinking of a little piece of sticky backed foam, like 1/4 ince or so, think I have some perfect for that around here somewhere.

Hitting that power button is way to easy to do, need to mod the physical keys on the side somehow also, lol.
