I want one too!
Sent from my Epic 4G
Yeah, I need one, too.
Mine started making squeaky noise on one part and I think a new cover will remedy that problem.

I'd love to be able to buy a replacement battery cover. The official stock cover, that is. The soft-touch coating on the back of mine is already starting to peel off a little. I'm guessing the ridiculously hot weather where I live is to blame for that.
Count me in. I'd love to try modding a battery back and Seidio ActiveX case to accommodate a 2200mAH battery (using the exoskeleton plate to actually hold the battery in place), but I'm not brave enough to cut into my one and only back to try it.

Actually yes. The output is really too brittle unless you're just doing the dimensional prototyping. Since I use a hard case it would cool to see a back with a cutout in the stock back and take advantage of that extra couple mm.

Good find, been searching for this for a long while now.
Good find, hopefully they will come in diff colors. I want an aluminum looking one prsonally. Or I might just order one and modify it myself...

Sorry for yet another thread on cases, was wondering if anyone has found a G2 case with a kickstand other than the clear and black ones by the OEM. I've had the black one for a few months and the case to the front has already broken. Stand is kind of a dealbreaker for me as my phone's been my main source of entertainment the last month or so (my apartment was robbed of tv, computer etc and I'm still saving up for replacements).

geeze man, I really do feel for you and I hope everything in the future goes well. But with the case, I would look on eBay, and or Amazon if you haven't yet. There always seems to be more stuff on those sites. I thought I saw a body glove case with a stand, but I wouldn't bet on it.

I would save up for a gun and a deadbolt first.
Thanks guys. I actually have the body glove one, its what I got thru T-Mobile. The part that goes over the top is what broke. I've tried Amazon with no luck, but ill try eBay now.
Deadbolt didn't do anything

I don't know if they still have one, but otterbox ran a special where you got a free stand when you ordered a case. Looks great and the g2 sits nice even when in the case.

Elaborate pleaseee
All of these cases you see on Amazon and Verizon and nobody has considered machining a new battery door out of aluminum or something? The cheap plastic has gotta be the #1 thing a lot of people hate about this phone, and I would definitely be willing to pay $15-20 for a nice metal back.
Does Samsung have some kind of patent that prevents this?

I suspect a metal door would interfere with the antennas, wouldn't it?
On the Nexus S, some guy had the same complaint about the plastic feeling cheap, he came up with a mod that involves spraying some rubber coating on it. Seems popular, cheap, easy, and reversible.

most other oem's use metal doors...samsung seems to be the only fan of plastic. there might be something you have to do to prevent interference but it has to be possible.
thanks for that thread, though. that is a great idea. i'll be stopping at home depot on the way home from work

It would be nice if we could get something like a soft-touch black plastic battery door for better grip/nicer feel/less fingerprints. Also might be more functional than a metal door on our Charges. The antennas are on the bottom-back of the phone for some reason.
Samsung doors
I called Samsung today and they have two different doors you can buy I believe still plastic but have a nicer look and one somehow charges or keeps the battery charged longer (nvm it is only a inductive bacK). What I get for believing them lol, but anyways just thought I would share what I found.

Inductive cover maybe?
Replacement Doors
Yep one is a inductive door and adds some bulk to the phone. Sorry about the messup on the 1st post was what Samsung told me and I was a little hesitant to believe them and let me try to post the picks I have, 1st time was a no go.

I would have thought someone would construct a case back that would
feel like the HTC thunderbolt's, with a nice machined brush finish
of "SamSung" across the back. Would look really nice, I'd think.

The funny part is the shape and cutouts of the pictured cover match the Charge.
Would really love to see a more grippy battery door with kickstand for this phone. I'm looking to replace my Thunderbolt with a Charge and I know I'm going to really miss the kickstand.
The Samsung holster/case combo looks nice, but it's going to add unwanted bulk and I'm pretty sure it won't fit in the car and desk docks with the case on.
Samesung's Website
That pic I posted is directly from Sammy's website so don't know why you feel it isn't legit. Unless Samsung is teasing us or posting a false picture lol...Anyways here is the link...http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EBC-994WBEBSTD?
I tried Phantom skinz carbon fiber wrap to add some texture for better grip on this phone but ended up not liking it and peeled it off.
Recently went with the plastidip spray on stuff and it works much better. 2 coats of it are working great adding a good grippy feel to the back battery cover. Hope that helps.

Any chance of pictures of your finished product? Did you spray both the inside and outside of the battery door?
Only did the outside of the cover, no point in doing the inside as well.
Looks pretty good. I hope coveroo comes up with something soon...

Seemed like people were doing the inside as well to make it harder to peel off, but I don't know if it'd make a difference.
Does the phone still fit in the Car and Home dock with the back sprayed?
I don't have any official docks so I can't guarantee, but it adds very little thickness... unless the phone is already snug in the dock it will be fine.

So on Ebay there are some new battery door replacements available to buy:

Anybody here already tried it out? If so, how is it?
Didn't try that one... Just received the carbon and crocodile one from here.
These are absolutely the best looking battery covers I've used. The fit and finish are awesome and they are not slippery like the original. Got them in a week after purchase from Hong Kong.

I own the carbon and the leather one.
While they are nice, I don't like the shiny bezel around the material.
And I hope to get even more grip.

Got this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/151076783267?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
It will match the black well I think
Be careful with some of these replacement battery doors if you plan on using them in a case (I know, seems redundant). I got a leather batery door from Ali Express and the plastic cover was thicker than the standard one and not b/c of the leather on it. It just wasn't sized properly so it doesn't fit in any of my 3 cases (Spigen Slim Armor View, Poetic case, random aluminum bumper).
Ooh I'm going to buy the black one. I currently use a stylish blue one with my red aluminum bumper but I think this would look better.
Keep us posted when you receive yours!
a healthy suggestion
have you gave any thought to searching up s4 cases through esty
handmade , exotic cases
have a good day
my sibling has a etsy s3 case and she loves it to this day and she bought it 1 1/2 ago )

i did maybe a week and a half or so ago, went with the traditional Burberry print, i liked it as the print pattern is very exact, my girl hated it, said everyone will know its fake! (no kidding???). The sides which are black started to splinter off, because the door doesn't flex enough when taking off the back cover which i do often changing batteries. I requested and received a refund and was also told i can keep the back. One other thing the back is not plush, it has more of a wallpaper feel to it and its slightly higher than oem back

Eww. I thought it would be plush. Good thing I decided not to order one.
I wonder if they will have different colored back plates. Preferably made out of the same premium material and not just some garbage rubber. That would be cool.

Took the words directly from me lol .would love this as well..maybe like burnt orange, wine red, lime or like motomaker with custom stripes or patterns...or even maybe even a limited edition durable leather back, too bad T-mobile and Verizon have like select colors models though .
Ditto, was just about to post this same exact question, lucky XDA does a similar post search
I'd like to get a couple of the other colors to alternate. Preferably OEM, even if it's go the other carrier logos.
EDIT: I'd take even slick metallic backs like the LG G4, at least vinyl skins would stick flat on that one. Like the Moto Nexus 6 has those "natural" skins made of leather, cork, or football leather.
