Ordered from tropical_mobile on eBay? Here's what you can expect inside

[DubelBoom]

Actually happy to see an EU charger as I'm from Israel

Could you please upload a photo with the case on it? Does it seem to ruin the leather?
I really want the leather one, but I'm not sure I could handle without a case for too long haha

What about taxes and customs?

No taxes, I'll have to see about duty when I pick it up from FedEx this evening.

Please let me know, I want to be prepared for mine when it comes next week.
Thanks!

Well, it looks like I just ordered their last black leather phone.
$595, and supposedly it is stored in Memphis. Which would explain fast shipping.
I've saved the product page as a pdf, together with the 30-day return/exchange claim, so if anything happens, maybe they'll honor it.
I'm hoping that I don't need it, though.

Personally don't like it. It took a little wrestling to get the case on, then when talking it off, it took the back case off lol. Had to pry the leather back off of it.

The seller does mention that he'll pay for US taxes and customs. (why????)

Why ask? If he says he'll take care of it then that should be a good thing right?

Did you try getting the free battery+SD+Charger offer from LG with that phone? I just ordered one and am wondering if those are eligible.

So I received my phone too from Tropical_mobile and cant get LTE speeds on Cricket Wireless which uses AT&T network even if the apn settings are correct. I only get 4G speeds. I wonder if Cricket needs to provision this device.

Received mine today... Red leather!!! Cant wait to get home (working right now) lol

Mine work fines on cricket. Did you make sure to set it to wcdma/gsm/lte? Mine was set with lte off. Had to enable it.

No duty! What a relief.

That happens with my Spigen case as well, pulls the back right off. Glad it's not just me lol

Wait, what? You paid NO duty whatsoever? What shipping speed did you choose? So you paid only the ~$750 CAD from tropical_mobile? Wow.

It doesn't seem to ruin the leather but the fact that it sticks to it very tightly means it might. I don't want to risk it, especially since it's a bit of a bulky case that ruins the ergonomics.

Anyone applied the included screen protector?

I ordered from tropical_mobile yesterday and they still haven't shipped or sent me any notification for when they'll do this. Did this happen to anyone else? How long does it take once you buy?
