I've seen people mention the website http://www.tvc-mall.com/ a few times, pointing people there for parts, accessories, cables, etc..
Has anybody actually ordered from them, and received their products in good condition, and correct to what they thought they were ordering?
I realize that they are overseas, and that shipping can cost more, but the products are very inexpensive to begin with.
Or, would I be better to pay 10x the price and order from US Vendors (that get their products from overseas also).
Looking for real purchasing experiences please..
Thank you,
I have had two sales transactions. I have purchased a new front gorilla glass, three car chargers, two pocket cases, three A/V cables. I used PayPal. The items arrived within five days of my order.
I really like the company for gold service and great prices.
Thank you for the response. Sounds like you would order from them again if you had a chance, or need?
I was just very concerned about the low prices, and the location from which it is coming from, but using Paypal would help me be a bit more comfortable.
Has anyone had any experience with replacing a screen digitizer of the galaxy tab?
I have a two huge scratches in the glass. I'm not sure when I replace the glass it is going to get worse. Then I don't have any scratches anymore but something else is wrong. Like the screen not fitting or the quality is worse or something like that....

Yes, I love the prices and the fast, great service. The shipping costs are the bad thing, but TVC-Mall doesnt control that.
What are you ordering? I need a few things - maybe we could combine to save on the shipping - it's $30 to the US.
I replaced my front glass. It's pretty easy if you are familiar with replacing stuff in ipods and phones. Go see a video first. Google "front glass replacement galaxy tab" and see the tab tear-down video on youtube.
Ranger, I'm still looking around the site, but I am looking at a car mount, stylus, and some accessories for my wifes Epic 4G.
Combining an order sounds like a way to save on shipping.

Ok, whereabouts are you? We have to think about the second shipping cost. I'm in Southern California.

Road trip!
Four official Nexus 7 cases and a screen protector. There are prices but no release date as of yet.

Rotating Stand Case
Non-rotating Stand Case
Folio Case
Bluetooth Keyboard Case
Screen Protector
The bluetooth keyboard case looks interesting. I'm wondering how much would it cost..
Edit: "ONLY £79.95"
Mobilefun seems like such a rip off, I don't how they can justify the £39.99 price tag of their folio case...that's $62 for you US folks!!
I imagine over time, the price will come crashing down due to a lack of demand. The prices they have are an absolute joke for what is actually a very average case.
There's always a mark up from the US to the UK, the 8GB Nexus 7 (£160) is the equivalent of $250. It does seem larger for the accessories though, think they're trying to increase their margin.

Good point but even still, from a UK perspective, £39.99 for a folio case (unbranded) is a joke! I don't even think Marware/Case-Mate, Incipio, etc will charge that much!
LOL I love the 'official' - part of the description...
the rotating one and folio - look like the endless ones on ebay.. 'leather' covering the screen..
I would advise people to check ebay before paying that amount for a generic case - no way they are official Asus products..

lol only... half the price of the tablet.
The keyboard case is also the same generic one that's been making the rounds for quite a while. Stamp "genuine" on it (not even "official") and some folks seem to go ape over it.
all of these accessories look the same to what's out already. they will probably cost 2-3x more
I bet these will have the smart cover feature maybe

The cheap $2 cases in eBay have this feature, it's nothing special anymore and even it were, it does not justify these ludicrous prices.
Proof that MobileFun is inflating their claims that these are official, as well as their prices (or perhaps their supplier is fibbing to them?):

EDIT: My posts about this on the various "news" sites are being deleted, so folks aren't being informed. Hopefully the sites will post an update. I hate to see a retailer get all of this free advertising and make their customers pay inflated prices due to false claims.
I can't imagine using a such a small keyboard.....
The keyboard case definitely looks like an improvement from what's available - thinner, smaller, more solidly built. I can't imagine those are the actual prices they will be sold for in the US - no one will buy a $125 keyboard case for a $250 tablet.
If you don't mind ordering from China I found a seller selling the plastic battery covers on Fleabay for $19 ea. Pretty big drop from the $69 others are selling them for. They are supposedly OEM.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/271911332141?var=570746796591
However one thing that I've learned from ordering from China is that you should never spend more money than you're willing to lose. At least Ebay has seller protection
Just about to post this. Nice find. Seller has pretty good feedback so hopefully they are legit. I'm tempted.
If they intergrated Qi, I'd be interested.
I bit.. So in late July when it finally shows up from China I will let you know what I think.
the seller posts minimum details about shipping.... quite suspicious for me
but then again, i'm not that experienced with ebay or amazon
i'll just wait till this item shows up in my local e commerce
He doesn't look that professional but in the feedback you can see he has sold smartphones and replacement parts so that's a good thing I guess. Anyway eBay buyer protection would probably cover the cost if they were fakes as long as you can prove it.
Well like I said I bit on the deal. I just got the ebay notification that the item is marked shipped and has some form of tracking number. So far so good, and at $20 its not the end of the world if I have to use with eBay buyer protection services..
I bought 2, a white and gray. If I don't get them I'll get my money back from eBay. I have ordered plenty of items from China for my RC helicopters so I know it will take at least 2 weeks to get here. The seller has 100% positive feedback so I'm not really worried. I ordered them last night and when I checked my email this morning they have already shipped.
Nice find! Now if only the lg branded leather ones dropped that low lol

Those cheap Chinese charging cases seldom last a month. What they are good at is frequently melting down. Avoid them at all costs. Brand names only.
I would pay that much for a battery case with a microsd slot. But $100 for an extra 2500mAh is steep. The zerolemon 3500mAh cases are supposed to be coming out any day now and I'm sure the price will be half of morphie.

Here's a review. It's from another thread, but anyway.
The product is not available anymore. I was considering it but I went with I-blades instead. A slim stylish case with snap on battery and SD with extra 64GB. I was considering a cheap one, but the extra memory and the brand got me change my mind. Plus, a lot of people are claiming that the cheap ones are prone to malfunctions and are suspicious, no money back guarantee etc...

How are u living this iblades? Can you do review of it? I'm thinking to get myself one to. But can't find a decent review anywhere
I think the official case looks really nice, anybody else planning to get this? :good:
For people who goes for looks maybe but if you want drop protection that case will not help you that much

I had one for my S6E but it wasn't very good. The back scratched up too easily & quickly. Also, the case didn't sit flush on the rear glass, constantly introducing dust and other small grime, again scratching up the case from the inside. And I don't even put the phone in my pocket. It's always inside my belt holster case.
Besides those issues, I loved how slim & light it was. I wouldn't buy it again for the S7E.

This is how it looks on my black s7 edge. Bought this case yesterday. Very slim and fits perfect . Exactly what I was looking for. Only price is kinda big, paid 29eu.
Love the Spigen most which offers a good protection and nice look.

Samsung needs to hurry up and get this case in stock at stores. It's the only case I buy for Samsung phones. Well I bought a Insignia case at Best Buy just for something for now.
So once these become available on Samsung's site will be able to save $10 on it with the 30% register code?
A T-Mobile store had the Samsung cover in stock and they said they would sell it for 25% off. I decided to wait and see if Best Buy has since I have $30 coupon from Samsung Pay. I called and don't think they carry it yet. I should have just bought it at T-Mobile. lol As of now I'm suing the Insignia clear case that I bought at Best Buy for $15. I like it but prefer the plastic vs tpu.

T-Mobile has the Samsung clear case. Yesterday a manager was going to give me 25% off since I told him I have 30% for registering my S7 Edge. I decided to wait since I have the free $30 at Best Buy for Samsung pay. Well dumb move since Best doesn't have it. I went back to T-Mobile today and the manager wasn't there but a employee that was right by the manager yesterday that heard us said to come back when the manager was there. The employee was trying to get me to buy two things to get a discount I said no way this crap is way overpriced and I left. LoL

I called Samsung to order the clear case and use my 30% off. After waiting 15mins on hold and then another 15mins the lady couldn't apply my discount. lol I called the T-Mobile store and the manager I talked to before was in so I got 25% off. With all the promo's I got I'm fine paying more on something I like. I'll probably sell my free Samsung wireless charger since I already have 4. lol
Looks slick... in both ways.

Got this case yesterday from Samsung Experience Store - This case is a real looker with the Black S7 Edge. The chrome side finish really contrast and complement the stealthiness of the black.
This case looks nice from the front, but it scratches so easily, after 3 days it looks like sh.. on the back.

No, because it offers zero protection to the top and bottom edges of the phone.
They'd inevitably be marks on that metal within a few weeks, even if you're careful.
