Got my 3 covers from overseas in today. Outstanding quality and service from the site. they delivered on time and for free. only had to pay customs R26 clearance

Rock Quicksand in light grey
Nillkin ultra slim shield in black
Nillkin Dynamic colour in black

Currently using the dynamic colour and it is fantastic. Good quality and the look and texture is great. It gives the phone grip and looks unique

The quicksand is also great. Very different texture to other cases and the other Nillkin is just a plain good quality black case

The Nillkins also come with screen protectors too

I think I'll probably end up just using the colour but had to buy before I could try

They look great
What about pricing

[djp2k]

My phone keeps on loosing signal. When I reset it, it works usually for a bit and then looses the signal eventually again. This seems to happen mostly when I am moving (between towers?). Everything was fine for the first month or 2 - so I doubt it is the sim. (Although I have a homemade micro sim...)

Does anyone else have this problem?

[mayurh]

that doesnt sound good
is your mobile network set to auto? maybe 3g signal is low?
does it ask you for your pin again?
few times my phone lost connection to the sim. 3 to be exact

mmm sounds like the much publicised antenna issue (the Sim and wifi antenna are the same), whats yr Serial Number if its XX26HXXX.. or earlier then I think its the antenna problem (which was fixed from S/N XX26IXX... onwards)

[Agrippa]

Strangely, I never have 3G issues. I have 3G (good speeds) but no network signal...weird. It is definitely not limited to just moving. I restarted it this morning (after the post) and when I looked at the phone now for the serial number I noticed that there is no signal again

I guess the serial number is on the original package? Will have to check at home, but was hoping it is not the antenna issue. I have read it also only appears after a while, but thought maybe it is not the same antenna. (I have not tried the wifi).

Mayurh: So I must turn auto off?

Will MTN replace the phone?

[Agrippa]

Would GSM vs WCDMA vs GSM/WCDMA auto make a difference? I have no idea what it means under network mode...

[Agrippa]

If a manually select the network it doesn't want to connect to MTN - saying that "your sim card doesn't allow connection to this network".

[mayurh]

if you set it to auto it should use 3g when possible
problem is when 3g coverage is poor it would keep switching to gsm

if you set to wcdma only then its only going to use 3g and not all areas have 3g.so here in s.a we can not use wcdma only
you should either have it on auto or gsm only

and you have a mtn sim? then somethings wrong.

easiest way to check is when the signal is low or gone (check signal icon in status bar) then hold the phone between thumb and finger at the top of the phone between the camera lens and volume button and press together, while pressing look at the signal icon and see if it improves (give it 5 seconds or so of pressing) if it does its the antenna issue...

[mayurh]

i did not know the antenna issue can affect the sim card?
