Solution for battery cover?

I am absolutely loving my Fascinate (rooted, lag fixed, and de-Binged of course). Awesome upgrade from my Droid Eris! However, I have one major gripe with it so far, and that's the battery cover, or back plate, whatever you wanna call it. I am definitely not a fan of the glossy finish on it. If my fingers are the least bit wet or greasy, it makes it very hard to hold onto. The battery cover on my Eris had some kind of slightly rubberized matte finish, and I never, ever had trouble holding onto that phone.
So, I'm looking for a solution. Ideally, it would be in the form of a direct replacement for the OEM battery cover that is made of the grippy material like the Eris had, but I might settle for some kind of stick-on skin, if there's a good one that will eliminate the slipperiness. I've searched a bit, but haven't found any good solutions yet. Anyone suggestions would be appreciated. Oh, but please don't suggest cases of any kind. I have a good leather belt holster already that the phone fits in perfectly, and adding a wraparound case of any kind would be redundant, and also would prevent the phone from fitting in my current case.

Actually, I think I found a solution, thanks to a thread on the Android Central forums. Stealth Guards is apparently giving away all their screen protectors away for free for a limited time. You pay only the cost of shipping, which for me was $2.85, and the protector was originally $14.99. It's actually a full body protection skin, not just a basic screen protector. I'll probably just use the part for the back, and not mess with the front screen protector part at all. Here's the link:
http://www.stealthguards.com/index.php/cellphones/samsung-fascinate-full-body-protection.html
Note that they have free protector kits for most all the popular phones available right now, and if you like their Facebook page, you could win prizes (such as iTunes or Best Buy gift cards) on the way to 1000 likes, and after they top 1000, they'll hold a drawing to give away a new 6th-gen iPod Nano.

THANKS!!! Just ordered one for me and one for my girlfriend... I didn't want to add a case, but this will keep our phones looking fancy!

hey this looks really cool. can you let us know how this works out after you get it? i was just at the bar the other day (you know how when ur holdin a cold beer and ur hands get wet) i was like god this phone is slippery

I got full body invisible shield.
I removed the SP and got realook because i didn't like the rubber feel on the screen.
But i left the back piece on it makes the back feel allot better and gives it a kind of rubbery feel and reduces finger prints and also helps protect from scratches
It and makes the over all phone feel solid.

Thanks for the link. Picked up 2 of these for my phone.

Thanks for the link too, got one for me and two coworkers. Hell of a deal even if it's mostly crap. I just want it forthe back cover too. Way too slippery.
I'd like it if Seidio's innocase for this phone just protected the back/sides and left the front alone. I like the soft touch on those...
Even my HTC TP2 had a soft tough battery door stock.

Oh dang, I forgot to reply back to this. I got my Stealth Guard as expected (just an envelope in the mail, almost thought it was junk mail at first). Sadly, there NO instructions (except for a YouTube video on their website, which was a joke), but after digging up some info online, I washed and dried the battery cover, sprayed it with some slightly soapy water, and applied the skin. I rubbed out most of the bubbles fairly easily, and as others have said, after 2-3 days, all remaining bubbles and odd-looking film went away, and if not for the ridge at the edge of the skin, you wouldn't know it was on there. Oh, I did have a bit of trouble getting the corners to stick down to the curved corners of the battery cover, but I kept working on them, and they did eventually stick as the water started to dry up a little. So far there's no evidence of peeling or anything.
I do have to admit that it's not as grippy as I expected, but it is some better than the bare surface, and should prevent the back from getting scratched up, which I was starting to see evidence of, even with careful treatment of the device. I'm undecided if I'll ever apply the front piece or not at this point, but seeing how clearly the back piece applied, I wouldn't expect it to affect visibility at all.
I ordered another one of these for my brother-in-law's Droid Incredible, and would recommend them to anyone else as well, unless you want to try a different brand, in the hopes of getting an even grippier surface for the back side. But I think that for a mere $2.85, you really can't find a better deal anywhere.

Well, I ordered the Verizon / OEM, "kickstand" hard case in hopes of a good solution for the slippery back. Looks like this case only covers the back and sides of the phone and leaves the front untouched which is what I wanted as far as a case, and it looks quite thin too. Plus, it has a kickstand built in which I really wanted since my TP2 had a sliding/tilting screen. The back of this case is grooved with like a patchwork pattern so I'm sure it's a lot grippier.
Verizon wants $20 for them, but I got it for $10 including shipping on eBay! I'll post back how it is when I get it, but I think it's the best solution i've seen.

Have the kickstand case & it's pretty good. It also has 4 raised "feet" at the corners on the back which give it some speaker clearence when flat & act as friction points for your hand or loose pocket. The kickstand is a good alternative for a desk cradle & makes utilizing the alarm clock easier.

Bulky cases like that don't work for me. I use a belt holster case that I picked up from Best Buy, and any other protector case would make it bulky to put into the holster. That's why this stick-on protector was attractive to me, as it adds no unnecessary bulk. But that's just my preference. If you prefer a hard case, you'll get no argument from me.

Directly from the VZ site....I am gonna experiment with one...Im looking for a sort of rubber spray paint...If i can find one im gonna spray it.

Maybe with the white fascinate coming out at best buy I can buy the white back. Looks nice.

Ok, got the OEM/Verizon Kickstand case in and the $2 Stealth Guards films. The kickstand case is THE solution for the battery door IMHO, but I got both mainly for this reason. Mini review of each:
The Kickstand case, I got from eBay, for $11 shipped w/ tax (just search for "fascinate kickstand"), which is half off the in store price you'll find. It is THE solution to the slippery battery door IMHO, and the best case out there right now. The case has a slight rubberized / soft touch finish, and has a grip pattern in it, which makes it much easier to hold onto. It's quite thin, except for a bump caused by the kickstand, which is leveled so the phone lays flat, by some "feet" on the back. That slight bump I actually like, because I can easily tell which way the phone is oriented in my hand without looking at it. It provides nice protection to the sides and corners and back, so I think it will provide added drop protection. It fits very tight, I wouldn't expect it to come off ever. What I really like, is that it barely protrudes above the front of the phone at all, it adds a very slight lip at the sides, and that's it. This keeps the phone quite flat/thin still and doesn't change how you'd interact with the screen at all. The slight lip should help protect the screen though. All the cutouts are excellent in positioning, and provide nice "cover" for the side buttons against accidental actuation.
Probably the nicest thing of all which I didn't expect, is that the Kickstand works in both Portrait with the phone vertical, and horizontal in landscape, due to the way they positioned the kickstand on the back. It works great - this takes care of one of the things I missed from my Touch Pro2 (the tilting screen). It also has a tensioner, which allows you to tweak the angle in horizontal/landscape a bit because it's "stiff". For the $11 I paid for it, it's worth every penny and seems quite solid/well engineered for the price.
Only downside I see is that it's a bit tougher to take the battery out of course..
The Stealth Guards films are better than nothing, but not much grippier than stock. They come with just two films, front and back. Application and clarity is similar to other "invisible shield" type products. Not a very good screen protector (orange peel, tiny bubbles, not crystal clear), Steinheil is WAY better, but they don't have them yet for our phones so I'll use this in the mean time. Also, they cover the light/prox sensor at the top of the phone, which I found made the automatic backlight adjustment sorta freak out and switch more often than it should (probably because the protector is relatively thick and not crystal clear) - I cut a tiny window out around them with a razor blade and that fixed the issue. They shipped in an envelope, inside another envelope, I ordered 3 sets for myself and friends, and every one came with wrinkling/damage. Fortunately the films are very durable so the films themselves were unharmed - it was the paper backing that was wrinkled. Still, they could of reinforced the envelope with a little cardboard.... Also they come with no instructions or packing at all, just bulk/oem packed. Still, for $2 they were worth it, but not worth much more than that.

How did you get them for $3? It says they are $5.

OEM/Verizon Kickstand Case! (With matching pouch suggestion)

No separate thread on this case so I figured i'd make one, as IMHO it's the best out there for our device, and also the best solution to the slippery battery door issue. Here's my mini review:

Highly recommended!

Also, I missed the idea of using this with a holster, but found a decent universal horizontal belt pouch case that fits nice with even this kickstand case on. This auction is just one seller, there are many instances of this exact same case on ebay listed under multiple names:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270648647873
Just look for "carbon droid x pouch" or "carbon galaxy pouch" etc etc, to find one. The brand name is "Luxmo" on the package, the model is "LPHTCHD2CF1HBK". It says it's a "Leather Pouch for Google Nexus 1 / HTC HD2".
They're all the same case/pouch. What I like about this is you can use it with the belt hook for easy removal, OR use the belt loops for a more permanent one - it has magnetic closure, fits the kickstand case well, sits nicely on my belt, has good cushioning. It's easy to remove the phone using the hole in the bottom, just push up on it and the phone pops out. I also like the "carbon fiber look" it has, looks just like my holster belt I wear this on. There are plain leather versions just like this as well, that I'm sure are made the same way / fit the same.

I use this case as well. Being an employee ive tried every case we sell and this is by far the best looking one and adds very minimal bulk to the phone. I love it!

I also have this case and it is by far the best one I've tried on. The kickstand is really nice.

The OEM kickstand case seems to have a bad design IMO. The reason I say this is when you watch a movie the volume rocker is at the bottom and not easily accessible. Watching video is the point of the kickstand so why hide the volume controls at the bottom? This was the first thing I noticed when I saw the case at Verizon.

Um, that's more a fault of the design of the phone itself. I sorta agree, except Samsung shoulda put the volume should on the right side of the phone, and the power at the top. The normal rotation for landscape is counter clockwise, so the speaker is at the left, and the soft buttons on the right. This is because most are right handed so they're likely to want to use the soft buttons with their right thumb.
So it's no fault of the case that when the phone is rotated normally, the volume rocker is at the bottom. Not like that's a big deal ... just pick it up and change the volume lol.
Also this kickstand works when the phone is vertical/portrait, so it's one of the best kickstand designs I've seen for any phone, as many phone's built in kickstands or kickstand cases, only work in landscape/horizontal.

I third the rec for this case. Its much better than the hard silicone version I tried first, and it allows me to use the phone as a much more useful media screen when on my nighstand or plugged in on my desk at work.

Just ordered the Verizon one yesterday (thank you, 35% accessory discount) and should have it tomorrow or Wednesday. By the looks of it, I'm going to like it.

link to the actual case?

I've had this case since day 1, yeah it sucks about the volume being covered in horizontal but it's an awesome case, and I don't want to change it at all (I've changed cases roughly every month with my other phones)

Just search eBay as I mentioned for "fascinate kickstand" - there is only one case like this, you'll find it right away, sellers are selling it new for $11 shipped.

Got my case yesterday. Love it.

I really like it too, been through 3 or 4 others, this is the best.

I can vouch for the kickstand case too. Without the case, my phone felt flimsy and I was afraid I'll drop it any moment. Now it feels much more solid and comfortable.
On an aside note, do NOT get the screen protectors from Verizon. They suck.

I have the kick stand case too and i love it. i use the kick stand all the time.

nice
got this case based on your guys' recommendations and it's pretty sweet. It's not that grippy silicone that sticks in your pocket. It's got like a nice matte finish and feels pretty solid. Also, the edges don't rise up too high like other cases do so it doesn't get in the way when you're using the touchscreen.

Yeah. VZW(or whoever they get it from) really got this one right. Not to big, but it does add some substance. Good grip, but not sticky. Protects the phone, but doesn't hide the lines.
A+
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App

I notice that it has pretty substantial cut outs at the top of the phone, any idea if this case is car or desk dock friendly by chance?

I picked one of these up based on this thread and I am happy I did. Very nice fit. Feels good and grippy in the hand - kickstand is a bonus. Great on my desk and nightstand.
Wouldn't change a thing.

I'm asking for this for the holidays. I've heard nothing but great things about it. I currently have the OEM silicone case, and it's nothing special.

Getting a new case: Slim, fit in pocket.

I've been using the CM Tough for a while now. While it's a great case for protection (very reassuring), its very bulky, and the silicone inner traps all sorts of dust and hair from the inside of my pockets.
For the past month or so, I've been walking around with my phone in my hand, fearing the attack of the lint, and wiping the lint and dust off the silicone whenever I could.
I've decided that if my friends can have sexy, slim cases for the iPhone, allowing it to come easily in and out of the pocket, there's no reason I shouldn't do the same.
Protection, for me, isn't that much of a problem. The easiest way to protect your phone is to basically not drop it, and in the half year I've had my phone, I've never dropped it once.
SO, I've been looking at...
The Momax iCase Pro: TPU sides and plastic back, slim.
SGP Slider: Hard case with cutouts for the volume/power. Looks rather slim.
Not a big fan of cases that don't cover the bezel. I honestly don't get the point, no scratch protection for bezel, and I can't put my phone face-down.
Are there any more cases I should be aware of? Are there people who can give a mini-review for the cases I mentioned above?
Thanks!

Have a look at this, just picked one up yesterday
http://www.case-mate.com/Samsung-Ga...axy-S-T-Mobile-Vibrant-Barely-There-Cases.asp
Fits perfectly on my European GT I9000, feels much nicer than bare phone or hard silicon case I previously used, and it's as easy to get out of your pocket as the bare phone. The only issue you might have is with the bezel, as it doesn't really cover it, rather it leaves the psuedo chrome visible, and only adds at most 0.5mm clearance if you place the phone face down.
Personally, I'm very happy with it. The phone is grippier, the volume and power buttons are much easier to use, and it looks good.
Headphone jack access is better too.
Read the reviews on the link.
Here's another I had a look at recently, seems to give great protection, but it's fiddly to get on and off if you need to do a battery pull, and I didn't like the squidgy button covers, but it might be more in the line of what you're after.
http://www.otterbox.com/Samsung-Galaxy-S-Commuter-Series-Case/SAM4-GALXS-20-E4OTR_A,default,pd.html

I also use the Case Mate Barely There and it is the best I have tried so far.
It doesn't collect dust and the phone slides into the pockets.

I prefer the Momax. My workmate has the barely there, which is slightly slimmer but at the expense of losing some protection. The momax is the best option if you want slim but can still feel comfortable that your phone is safe imo.
I also had the toughcase and became frustrated with it for the same reasons as you. I'm very happy with the momax. Only issue is the power button is a bit harder to push now but a small price to pay.

Using the SGP Ultra slider, totally in love with it as i prefer to have direct access to hardware buttons

I have the Momax case and I have to say, it's pretty good.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=790318 - PhoenixFX has provided a review here.
Things i like:
It has a hybrid design, the back is not fully rigid but feels solid, soft sides.
Sides are flexible enough so that it goes on easy but stays in, also like how TPU doesn't become stretchy like silicone .
Lip that protects the screen, didn't notice too much dust getting in.
It's easy to keep a good grip on it.
Dislikes:
As the one posters above me said, the power button is harder to press. the same kind of applies for the volume keys but nor as much. It might be annoying in the long run.
Other than that the case is perfectly fine although I don't really know if it can be classified as slim by my standards , the back plate part is around 1.5mm thick. The back is a matte finish that doesn't offer too much grip but the sides are very grippy.
Hope this helps (I haven't tried any of the other cases so I can't really compare).

i think, case mate barely there is really good for slim profile somehow. and also capdase soft jacket xpose 2 also looks okay.

Check out carrymobiles, melko cases as well

I use the same Case-Mate Barely There case as DMD9, and I don't see myself changing it anytime soon. Very sleek, provides a little bit of a rubbery feel but not enough to make it difficult to slide out of pockets

After protecting my SGS like a baby for the last 11 or so months, it has suffered some damage here and there (home button doesn't work very well, scratches etc).
Thus I decided to ditch the case and go totally slimline with a replacement battery cover (the stock one is a fingerprint magnet, and I have kinda sweaty hands!). Ordered a silver one from focal price (the ones with the samsung logo, but clearly fake) and its a pretty good fit.
I totally recommend going caseless, it fits so well in the pocket when you go out!

I also support caseless usage,
I had a invisibleshield protector on the phone for a few months and that one worked well but it came off.
Now i still use the phone as if there was a protector on it and....not a scratch added.
the screen can really handle some abuse

Case Review: Cruzer Lite Androidified TPU Case

Hey guys, just got some awesome looking Android cases, so just wanted to share my impressions. I actually haven't seen any companies make a case like this yet, so I thought it was pretty cool.
First off, these cases look outstanding. The Andy the Android graphics on the case are really slick and give the phone a very stylish look. It's a bit more subtle on the smoke colored case, but it definitely pops on the blue case.
I previously owned a generic black TPU that had straggly edges, uneven cutouts, and inconsistent molding. Compared to this case, the Androidified case is noticeable cleaner. The Androidified case is cleanly cut, and has a consistent smooth molding. It's also tight and form fitting, which makes it bit hard to put it on the first time. But once you get it on, you can see that it conforms to the phone perfectly. The inside edges are a bit sharp, but I think it helps the case lay flat on the surface of the phone.
As far as protection goes, it's pretty much the same as other TPU cases go. It provides great protection against everyday scratches and small drops without adding a lot of bulk to the phone. I accidentally dropped my phone from my desk a few days ago without any scratches or cracks. The case also rises above the screen so that if you were to put it face down, the screen would be elevated from the surface.
There are cutouts for the micro-usb port, microphone, headphone jack, hdmi port, speaker, and camera. The power button and the volume rocker are covered, but have a button on the outside and is indented on the inside for easy access. This was actually a source of frustration for me on the generic TPU case, the button on the outside wasn't well defined and was hard to find at times. Along with a poorly finished side, there were times where I would mistake an unfinished edge for the power button. Thankfully, the smooth finish of the Androidified cases make this a non-issue.
Overall, I'd recommend these cases if you're looking for a stylish protective case that won't add much bulk to your phone. For $12.99, they are cheaper than the ones you'll find at Verizon, so I think it's definitely worth it. I got these at Amazon (my review is there too).
I also attached pictures of the smoke and blue Androidified cases vs the black generic TPU cases.

These cases are definitely great! the owner of the andriodify cases is a stand up guy who's all about introducing stylish quality produces at an afforable price.

Does this case have a cutout for the secondary microphone on the top? I really hope not because then I'll need to cut a tiny hole in the top of my case(already ordered one) :[

Case Problems...
The Case is all right but the one from Verizon fits better and the buttons are easy to press. With this case the camera doesn't line up and it is terribly hard to press the volume rocker and power button...very depressing as I love the style of the case.

I haven't received mine yet but if it's that bad I'll probably end up cutting them out myself, sure it's not going to look incredible but everything else about this case seems great, not sure why they'd ever think covering the power/volume buttons would be a good idea...

Agreed

Yea that's what I ended up doing was cutting them out it looks great other then my craftsmen skills lol, but it works a whole lot better now.

I'll be doing my own review of these cases too...maybe not on xda, as there is one already. As far as the buttons on the side are concerned, I did notice that they were a little hard to press at first. However, after using the case for more than a week or so the buttons are much easier to press; I guess they just had to be broken down some. I bought both the green and the smoke one, and they are both great!

The graphics on these are pretty nice...

I got one of these as well.
Yeah, the side buttons are a bit hard to press, but it gets easier with practice and the case seems to break in a bit as well over time. The first time I put it on it wasn't aligned properly, but every time I've taken it off and put it on since then it seems to get a little better.
My only real complaint is that a) it doesn't fit in the media dock, and b) when I take the case off to put the phone in the media dock it often pulls the plastic back off with it (I just need to be more careful in the future).

Coming from one of the generic TPU cases that I purchased on ebay, the covered buttons on the Androidified case was much better and easy to press.
In regards to the media dock, that must apply to cases in general right? I can't really see it fitting on a media dock if you have a case on it.

Yeah, correct. No case will fit in the dock.

no link to where to buy these from...?

You can find them by searching androidified on amazon

I got the red one with argyle pattern. It is a PITA to push the power and the volume buttons. So I guess not all TPU cases are made equal. I ended up cutting a cutout around the power button. Problem solved. And also around the USB port since some of the generic charger connectors that I have are too big to fit through the USB cutout on the case.
That being said, the Curzer Lite TPU case that you have, is it the same as the one that Verizon has in their stores? I think somebody wrote the Verizon's Charge TPU case has the best power button cover (and I can almost vouch for that having had Verizon's TPU case on my Droid X) but I'm not positive.

I have the Cruzerlite Androidified case and it is almost the same as the Verizon one but it has the android pattern. Cruzerlite also makes the Argyle pattern and they are about half the cost of the Verizon OEM ones

It's a decent case...good protection from small drops and looks fairly cool. I can't get the top around the screen to stay uniform, so the fit could be better. I'll give it a 4/5 and 4.5/5 on value. I'll be waiting on the Case-Mate Barely There!

Not diggin this case anymore. Hard to get off without batt door coming with it. Much sleeker without the extra size...hoping casemate puts out a barely there soon.
If anyone wants it...$10 paypal gets it shipped to your door. (Blue as pictured above)

As you can see in my photos, all of the I/O jacks have plenty of room for any connecting cables or devices, unless you have some with a 90-degree angle with little clearance, but no cases would work in that instance. The camera/flash, speaker, reset button? (I think that's it...), microphone, and power/lock buttons are fully exposed, while the volume rocker is covered by the case. The volume rocker is fairly hard to press, but I think it comes in a benefit if you press it accidentally too much like me. It's more difficult to remove than some of the soft cases, but this doesn't really fit the "soft" category like the silicone cases. It does fit very tight with little wiggle-room, though, which is a good thing. See below about that.
Overall rating: 4/5
-Aesthetics and feel: glossy and slick, but doesn't slip very much. I find much benefit for getting this because I tend to drop things. The thickness increase wasn't too bad, and was smaller in this respect than other flexible cases I have used in the past with other phones. I like a bigger phone in my pocket, because sometimes the naked phone makes me feel like I lost it because it is so small in my pocket. The weight increase is noticeable, as per the specs of both the phone and case, it adds about 15% to the weight (5.2 oz, 0.8 oz, 6 oz. with both). I tend to not mind heavier phones, but if this is a problem to you, I would be wary of this, because it does feel like a slightly bigger, and quite a bit heavier phone. I love the color and gloss of the product I bought, but if you don't like it, there are other color options. The well-cut holes in the case for the screen and ports/camera/speaker/etc. are really nicely done, and they deserve some praise. Also, I like that the case is semi-translucent. The glossy nature of this case makes it susceptible to grease and fingerprint collection, but I haven't seen many if any cases that never get smudges. Due to the last observation, it does lose a little bit of its slip-resistance, but it still is better than just the plain phone, in my opinion. Sometimes, if there is enough smudges/finger oil on there, you can make it squeak with your fingers. It is hard to the touch, which a tap with the fingernail to the case, while on the phone, feels almost like tapping the glass screen.
Overall rating: 4/5.
-Protection: Not much here. I would say while it might help protect if it was dropped flat on its back, the hardness of the case while attached to the phone does not offer any cushion for an impact. I am sure that a drop on a corner could damage the phone. As mentioned above, the glossiness allows for the collection of oil on it, which can also help slips, although I think it still is less slippery than the actual phone alone, unless your hands were wet, then this case would probably slip right out. Also, there is not much that protects the ports or camera, even though I am not sure if there is a case that does this for this phone.
Overall Rating: 2/5
-Arbitrary rating: based from 0-5 on nothing rather than my own opinion for how much I like it: 3/5
-Total overall rating: 13/20
-Conclusions: if you like a functional case that looks and feels nice, look no farther. If you want a case that offers more protection or weighs and slips less, I would look elsewhere. Overall, it's a nice case with some fundamental weaknesses.
-I have not owned this phone or case for long, and I am planning on getting a secondary case soon, so I will update this with comments when I have more to say about it.

I have the same one. I'd give it a 4/5. Works well but I never use it. Doesn't make the phone too bulky either but I would like to see when CaseMate or another company comes with a slim designed case.

I am interested to see if there are any soft silicone or silicone-like cases for it. I didn't do a search yet, but I kinda want another case just for rotation. I'm about to do another review of my otterbox case, as soon as I get pics.

looks like the best case in the market for this price.

Works with the Car Dock
FWIW, I have this case, and on the phone it fits perfectly in Motorola's Car Dock for the Atrix 2 (the dock has an insert that can be removed if you're using a case). Any case thicker than this won't fit the dock. Very satisfied with the case, considering the price.

I have it and love it been using it on my captivate for almost 2 years and I now have it on the atrix

I said I would update this with a comment, so here is my new review:

I got the gloss black for my wife, and matte black with the old TC logo (they were formally TPU Cases) for myself. Fits perfect on the A2, good product - located in Madison, WI!
