I have a CDMA diamond, and have searched high and low for an aluminum battery cover. My first thought was this might interfere with reception, but I also have a razr with internal antenna which has aluminum back cover. I work outdoors, and am kinda hard on my phone. I have already broke one of the tabs on the plastic cover, and am looking to upgrade. Some nice anodized covers would sell like fire. Anyone seen anything like this?
I would be keen for something like this as well... I have dropped my phone once and all it did was scratch the battery cover, it spoils the phone. Is it even possible to buy a replacement HTC cover?
I would suggest you buy the official extended battery BP-E270.

this is for gsm diamond, and we are kinda missing the point of the aluminum cover. I can buy a oem cover via ebay, but am looking for something better.

yeah, i second that. aluminium cover will be a great accessory to my touch diamond. especially it's white and has light greyish aluminium ring which would perfectly match with aluminum back cover.
Hi,
I was wondering, how do you check if your Diamond is CDMA or GSM?
Cheers,
Idree
I was thinking of this ages ago, a metal back cover with a brushed finish would look great and we wouldn't have to worry about the scratches and stuff. I looked a bit but couldn't find one
Now I just have an Invisible Shield over the back so it doesn't get scratched but metal would be so much better.
You won't find aluminium cover. You will find, though, aluminium case. I've seen it. Just search the net accessory shops.

Aluminium cases are pretty ugly though, and the phone will be like twice as thick :/
And that's why life is an art of teh compromise... Yep, they ar not pretty, but I think they do their job. I bought the ugly black silicone case, and my diamond doesn't look good, BUT this cover already helped quite a few times...

Yeah, iv'e seen these and not real interested in them. The ideal thing would be the aluminum battery cover, same size as oem, and invisashield to protect the front....now if I could only cast aluminum......

I have HTC diamond with extended 1340 mah battery and I can not find a holster which will fit in with extended battery on. Any ideas? I need clip on holster which I can clip on belt, like this one.

There is no case there, just cover.
I'll also be interested in a case which is big enough for a diamond with extended battery, please inform us.
As for Trizo, you need to know the difference between a case and a back cover...
See response below from one of accessory vendors. Contact them as well to tell them that there is a market need for such accessory.

I purchased a leather clip on case from ebay which was designed to fit the standard diamond (I think - there is a little space top and bottom so it could just be a standard clip on case) but the diamond with the official extended battery also fits in it quite nicely. A little snug but works well enough for me.

Thanks.
I found out that GSM diamond with extended battery is 1 mm higher and 0.5 less thick then CDMA diamond in US. So I got CDMA plastic holster and shaving off 1 mm to make it fit Diamond with extended battery right now. For any stretchable material (silicone or leather) it'll probably will just fine without any modifications.
That looks very good but I've got one of those for my previous device (Kaiser), they fit very comfortabley but the case keeps on opening after using it for a few months and you drop the phone on the floor as the clip becomes loose.

I just bought a black Roots Tek Sock for my Diamond with the official HTC extended battery. Although I still have to take the naked Diamond out to use it, it still maintains its beautiful look. In fact it looks nicer with the new battery, from the back.
My old silicone case does fit, but the front left and right sides are not straight anymore, so it looks lame.
sorry this is off topic but i also have the 1340mah battery but i need another battery cover for this battery mine is broken if anyone knows where i can purchase just the back cover please and thanx
cut the back side off?

Thanks, nice find! I bought a CDMA silicone skin and it only needs some shape up, as the holes for the screen, the camera and for the navigation pad aren't fitting exactly. But now everything's fine.
But why is the CDMA skin so expensive compared to the 2$ skins at DealExtreme?!?
Here's one for a few $,
http://cgi.ebay.ie/BLACK-SILICONE-S...trkparms=65:12|66:2|39:1|72:1301|293:1|294:50
Of course you would need to punch a hole for the front camera.
i would like to buy the backing for the 1340mah htc battery my son broke mine and i need a back lock fr the battery
I found this one, not sure if it is an actual back cover or one that goes over it.
Anyway if you've got a son it probably means that you are over 16, so I don't know about the style!

Anyone found any replacement backplates for the Galaxy S yet?
Looking for one that isn't coated in Teflon like the stock backplate. Don't really want to put it in a silicon case, I would rather cover it in skateboard grip tape, I hate silicon cases that much.
Thanks in advance.
check ebay for the zenus cases
just type in "zenus cases" to pull them up -for some reason using "samsung galaxy" doesnt
Cheers mate, looking for a direct replacement of the battery cover/backplate, but glad to know the Zenus cases are on eBay.
sorry - brain hiccup - thought i'd posted that in another thread
getting old ain't for pansies
ten chars!!!
Yeah I want one that isn't quite so slippy in your hand, ordered a Zenus case, but there will be times when I want to use it out of that, and at the moment it's really easy to drop.
Brando often sells replacement housings, I'm sure it won't be long till they do the same for the sgs.
link
hmm a replacement backplate would be nice
im thinking in the line of higher capacity battery with slighly thicker backplate to accomodate the thicker battery and get rid of the bump on the bottom part at the back
a thicker backplate will also recess the camera lens protecting it from scratches
i also find that the very thin profile of the galaxy s makes it difficult to hold sometimes. a thicker backplate will also make it easier to handle
if only

http://shop.brando.com/iphone-4-bamboo-case_p04689c0304d004.html
Yeah it's cool how many cases you can already get for the latest iphone while for the SGS there still isn't a single decent case available in the US or Europe The Korean stuff that's a ***** to order and takes 2 weeks to get anywhere doesn't count.
I don't like Apple but sometimes they seem to be the only ones that just get really simple **** like 'hey maybe they want a case for that $600 smartphone so let's make some!' Or 'OK, we just designed our best phone ever, let's spend an extra dollar and not put a flimsy piece of plastic on the back.'
It's just so simple.

second that!
3000mAh with a 3mm+ cover will be perfect!
This could be a money spinner for Samsung .You want a white SGS, just buy a white back cover.Or you want a grippier phone, buy a rubberised cover.
Would be kinda cool to be able to change the look/feel without having to resort to silicon covers.
A rubberized back would be a dream. I want one now

This is an excellent idea.
Samsung has already sold more than 1M Galaxy S phones and continues to sell well.
This means that decent accessories should not be that far behind.
I'd buy the hell out of an aluminum replacement backplate for by Vibrant. 'Twould be quite sexy.

although with the Gel case in place, you wont even notice it's there until you take the gel case off the phone

Haha, looks terrible
Yeah looks like the normal one covered in tipp-ex!
But its not the original one, because there is a round circle which has not the same height like the cover (same position where the google logo is, you see it in the first ~10secs).
Samsung offered alternative cases: http://www.samsung.com/us/consumer/...l&subsubtype=cases-holsters&tab=accCompatible
But now, the cases just fit for "captivate" only. Dont find any cases for the standard galaxy anymore
I want a case which give more holdness... But i dont want a cover, because i like the thinness atm
Hi guys,
I was wondering if anyone knows of a rubberised g2 battery cover so that I can improve the grip of my phone.
I've found the aluminium back to be particularly slippery so I've bought a cheap case but it ruins the appearance of the phone and makes it bulky
Any ideas guys?
Thanks!
I bought the BodyGlove from Best Buy. It fits well and really helps!
If you search the Desire Z/G2 forums, there are a few threads on cases.....otterboxes, etc..
The OP is saying he doesn't want a case so those other threads won't help. One idea is to spray the battery cover with Plasti Dip (or maybe buy a spare cover to do it). I've never tried before, but I heard someone in the Nexus S forums had success doing it.
OK, I get that now! Why not use a film cover like this:
http://cgi.ebay.ca/T-Mobile-HTC-G2-FULL-BODY-LCD-Screen-Protector-Desire-Z-/230532601851?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item35acd057fb
I use it on my Desire Z, requires some patience and dexterity to install, and it added serious grip to the phone. It has a cutout that fits the battery door to perfection!
Any idea why the picture on that is a Hero with the Desire Z's film cover thing
I want to add some weight and more protection for the battery door, and I would like to have metal or hard glass/acryl-like battery door. Is there such replacements available?
You could opt for the extended battery that verizon sells.
running on premium!

Highly reccomend the Verizon OEM kickstand case, adds "just enough" bulk to the phone to protect it, fit finish is excellent, and it provides a very functional kickstand! And at less than <$10 on eBay it's a no brainer to me.

it sure looks sexy with the carbon print...but it's a case not a battery door, so I'll consider that one if I can't find any replacement battery door.

Ah...I like the one that I mistakenly found, but that thing is only $5 so I guess ill skip a big mac and buy that one to see how it holds up.
But is there a replacement battery door? Not for extended battery but regular size...in metal or graphite or some sort
Manufacturers don't really make battery covers for the regular battery, but Aaron636r (his thread should be in this subforum) is selling stickers for the battery cover and also a carbon-vinyl covered battery cover as well. Might want to check that out. His thread his named 'made my own vinyl cover'

I checked out his sticker and it looks very good, but the main purpose for me was to add weight without modifying or putting a case...but I guess that's unavailable. Ill just go ahead and buy the OEM carbon print Kickstand case for the design and some extra weight. Thanks for the help!

I have that case and I love it cause it's pimp!
I would love to get a titanium replacement battery cover for my Fascinate. Gorilla Glass up front, Ti on the rear (instead of cheap plastic).
That would be awesome.
The kickstand case that was first posted is wayy better looking than the OEM one imo
Would also like to replace the chromed plastic trim ring around the front with a titanium part, though it would probably be less shock absorbing. I dropped my fascinate on a concrete sidewalk once and now it's dinged on the corner. No other apparent damage, thank goodness!
would love to have those covers with kick stand unfortunately it wont fit on the car cradle
that ****ty silver metal looking paint...i actually carefully chipped it off well at least the cover coat and used nail polish remover with q tips and a towel and got all of it off leaving this shiny black plastic. looks fantastic.
i think there is a thread about doing it but id didnt want to use sandpaper and brush away the shine of the plastic underneath. i noticed that with places that the cover coating of the silver paint got chipped off (around the mini usb, headphone jack, and a spot where it dot nicked off) it chips off fairly easy. try at your own risk though
ive tried so many cases and havnt found one i liked yet. none of them fit in my pocket
id like to see a battery cover replacement specially glass that would be bada$$

I had that for the LG G3. I really liked it.
I always use bumper cases because it does not press on the back cover when I put Qi receivers, and also allow heat to escape from the back.
Is there anyone in here who used this Nillkin bumper case? Please tell us how it is...
I can't find it yet available in US, but it's all over ebay and amazon but coming from china...
I've got one on my phone right now, the grey one to be exact.
its nor what i'd call excessively bulky, but some people might complain over that, the screen is protected with the regular bump on the front part, its quite grippy as the back side remains accessible, the feel of the case is amazing, cutouts are perfect, materials are good, uses bumpy tpu-ish gel-ish plastic on the back and front size for the shock apsorbing, sides are made from strong plastic aswell. Buttons are easily accessible, very easy to press, but doesnt press when putting the phone in the pockets, didnt scratch the phone sides (yet) and its easy to remove even tho its a quite tight fit case.
the little backside rubber part make the phone stable on a flat surface, makes it stick a bit from the ground so the camera is protected. If you drop your phone directly on the back part on a non flat ground your camera will prolly be shattered.
Its my everyday case, would for sure recommend it (got it for about 8$ from ebay)
lemme know if you have any more questions :>

Its very tight, it wont loosen as the side plastic holds it at place, its an unibody case tho, so the rubber wont separate from the plastic bit. But its quite good, disallows the specs of dust and sand to get in between the case and the metal bezels of the phone, overall i'm very satisfied with it on that area.
The grip is great, buttons work very well and it lets heat escape.
I own two spigen, uag and many cheap ones.
I prefer this one any day.
I bought the gray first. Loved it except the front part is gray.. I thought it was black like all the others with the colors on the back.
Anyway, a few weeks ago I bought the orange and I absolutely love it.
I like it so much. That I already bought the other two colors, red and blue.. ?
