Good luck finding someone to swap for an ordinary black cover. I have seen some that were spray painted white. I'm not fond of having something painted in my pocket, but there are probably better paints available since I painted my pager 15 years ago.

I have a white Fascinate and my co-worker has the black. It is not just the battery cover that is white, it is also the piece around the phone above the chrome.

Same here. The volume rocker, power button and micro usb port cover are also pigmented white. With out those particular parts being white, I think a white cover on a black phone would look rediculous.

Now you guys are just being picky. Ill be happy with just the white battery cover. So what about the volume rocker and USB cover.

i was just playing with a white fascinate at best buy and it felt sturdier than ours does

Why not just wrap the back with a Zaggskins? So many more options for customization than just black or white.

also check out http://www.decalgirl.com/item.view/53217, available in a matte finish. I don't know what their template for the back actually looks like and if it's a seamless application (without cutouts to address the corners) but you can get a matching front as well.

Mass produce please
Would someone please just start mass producing back covers in different colors and materials for this device. I'd love an aluminium one or any metal in that case, even wood would be cool OR JUST PLASTIC in different colors! I feel like there is high enough demand for this, yet no one has jumped the gun to go on Alibaba and find a factory willing to pump them out.

Sourcingmap.com represents a China factory that is already making replacement battery covers for the Galaxy i9000. I sent an email to suggest a few tooling changes to open up a much wider market...

Hey I got my decal girl skin yesterday and LOVE it. It fits perfectly on front of phone and the back piece is a solid piece without slits. The entire side around the whole phone is not covered but it gives good contrast. Exactly the look I was looking for. Most of my friends are amazed with how it looked and thought I had gotten a new phone. A+ for decal girl. I'm now looking to skin all my portable electronics. By the way hooray for smart keyboard pro with iPhone skin. I don't know but I came from an iPhone and this keyboard is one of the most accurate with the iPhone like correction. Awesome keyboard.

Any chance we could see a pic of the installed skin? I spent a little time talking with a decalgirl rep and decided not to go with their product because it sounded like the coverage on the back corners wasn't sufficient.

Ill try to get pics up. I work retail commission so I'm stuck at work. And I only have the back on now. My 1 year old ripped the front right off in two pieces.

Spoke with both Best Buy and Samsung today in my free time at work.
Best Buy said to contact their parts department at 1-888-237-8289
Samsung Rep also told me to call parts and said they will be able to place the order for you.
"Melvin: You can call official Samsung parts dealer at 1800-627-4368. Timings: Mon – Fri. 9am to 6pm EST."
I haven't called either yet, but will get around to it to see if we can buy a replacement and the cost of it. (I can't imagine it would cost more than the black which is about $7-8)

Sweet let us know

Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App

to those that plan to skin their phones, do you plan to put it in a case?
I have a nice case (platinum from best buy) but between the case and the clip, there is no point for me to skin the phone or buy a white case.
I'm curious what you will do once you skin it? will you just use a slip case?
If i had get another case to have the white color, i'd do this one.

HTC Hard Shell Case (OEM)

Has anyone here purchased one of these cases that were made by HTC for the G2? Just saw a video of this on YouTube and was very intrigued by it solely for how the top shell fits on the case. You can see in the attached photo I make a note of this slight design change, so that when you open up the keyboard the top part (display) fully extends. I bought one of the cheap ones on Amazon and it doesn't have that cut-out. I think I'll try carving that part out myself with my Dremel as I can't full extend my keyboard, but these HTC branded cases look really nice. So far I've only seen them come in a bright blue, red/pink and neon green color. I'd love to see a video on how hard it would be to remove the case from he phone, as that cheap Amazon one is a ***** to take off.

I decided to take the plunge and ordered the black one. The youtube video sold me on it, and even more so that it's made by HTC. Can't wait to get it, and I'll share pics and maybe a video of it.

My case is molded just like in the pic. Bought mine off ebay for $2.87 don't see any difference other than mine is clear smoke. It fully extends as well.
Phone: T-Mobile G2/Vision Rooted/GFree'd
Rom: Latest Cyanogen
Recovery: CWM waiting for Amon_RA

I bought my case on amazon for about $3 and it has this cut out for the keyboard. I do like the HTC logo and door tracing on the back.

Just ordered mine. the video sold it to me as well. good review. looks real smooth

That looks nice. And it's half the price of the Otterbox. Looks very Seidio-ish. Hopefully we can get some reviews
It's out of stock BTW. ~_~

This is what I usually think of lol

Cool. I found another site that offers them: http://www.talkietech.com/t-mobile-g2-accessories.html

Bought the black one from wirelessground a week back. They shipped pretty quick and free shipping with code freeship. I like the case. Doesn't interfere with the keyboard out, makes it easy to grip, and only adds a little bit of bulk.

Wish I had known about that free shipping code, but it's only $4 so not like I just threw a chunk of cash down the toilet.

I'll do a review of the case once I get it, and like I previously said I'll take photos and hopefully do that review via video on YouTube.

I have the black one. It feels smooth, not too heavy, and it opens and closes right just like a charm. Definitely worth it. I don't see myself getting another one!

i think im sold on this case. reason is...the keyboard side and screen side both have the cutouts so the phone will lay completely flat when its open. now if they would make a spring clip holster like the one they offer currently, but that fits the phone with the case on it.

These are 9.95 on Android Centrals store right now.. but shipping is $16.95 to Canada.. wtf

I received the black HTC case last night, and will be working on a video review which I'll share here. Hopefully I'll have that done by the end of this weekend.

I bought a few from amazon, but needed to file down the tabs so there wasn't as much of a gap, and so I could remove more easily when necessary.
I bought the red "metallic" HTC case from android central- and put the others away... its perfect, tactile and less bulk than the others. Higher quality, and I didn't need to use a file.

I wasn't able to do a video review of this case as I was under the weather this weekend, but I would like to have one done soon. Overall, this is a great case.

Does that have the trimmed side (top piece on left side) to allow the display to fully open without interfering with the top row of keyboard buttons?

monaco case

I stumbled on this http://cheapdroids.com/T-Mobile-G2-Monaco-Aluminum-Case-Black-Open-Screen-Design.html
and was wondering if anyone had it or had reviews about it, looking to see that it wont interfere with keyboard like some do.

Hey quick question! This case does not open the keyboard right?

From the picture it looks like a solid one-piece, but then how would you get the phone in there?

"The lock on the side holds the top and bottom of the case tightly together and prevents the case from accidentally opening"
It seems that it's some kind of lock, so that would mean it's openable, but don't hold me to that
*Edit*: http://cheapdroids.com/T-Mobile-G2-Monaco-Aluminum-Case-Silver-Open-Screen-Design.html
Thats the silver one, there you can see the long mechanism a bit better, so from the looks of it, you can still open it.

Ohh I didn't see that shot great gonna order one

Could you let us/me know how it is? It looks rather interesting

Definitely looking forward to an XDA member's review on this with better pics!

Once I get it pics and review will be up i really just want something easier to take on an off then the ones that tmobile has cause I use a case for work which is painting, and the tmobile cases felt like i would screw the phone up taking them on and off alot.

I am very interested in this case as well and will probably order. I found a different seller on eBay selling this case, link below. It includes more pictures as well.

Also found this retailer that has a video of it, looks slightly bulky.

Well a lot of people around here are looking for that. Something to lock the keyboard in place during normal day to day use. That way it isn't opening in your pocket and stuff like that.

Yea that works out for them but it means im still on the hunt >>

I agree in theory you shouldn't have to need this case. But if you are like me, my phone hinge is loose and it feels wobbly to even text. So if this case can hold the goods together securely then it looks like its worth it.

Just ordered one. Let's see if its better then the otterbox.

Looks sturdy. The added bulk keeps me away though.

I agree, I am worried about the excess bulkiness. Looks like a brick! All my friends have iPhone 4's so I dont want to pull out something looking a decade old! However pics and youtube videos can be deceiving. The G2 is a beautiful phone and doesnt seem to show scratches easy. I too have the loose hinge and like I said in a previous post, scotch tape on the sides is the best answer!

Agreed. I always find myself buying cases for all of my devices. 2 weeks later i end up ditching them going back to naked. right now i just have the stealthguards full body protector on which is excellent even for 10$. I, for one, hate the g2's keyboard, however, its one of the best ones out thus far. (if that makes any sense)

Anybody who ordered this case received it yet? Ordered mine on the 17th and still hasn't arrived....

DO NOT ORDER. Took forever to come and the case is complete crap. Finish sucks. Build sucks. Overall suck

Is there a case out there like the back of the lg prada 3.0?

I just wanted to know if any of you guys found a case for the g2x that looks like the back of the lg Prada 3.0. I really like the texture on the back plate of that phone, and wouldn't mind getting a case similar to that texture for the g2x.
If any of you guys find one, please let us know.

i always fine the cases i need on ebay

That is cool looking back.
Looks like it has a cool grip on the back.

I am looking for the same thing as well!

Yeah I've been searching, but to no avail. I'm not a professional internet digger though, I figure someone might've run into one, maybe "by summer" they'll start to show up

I bought this case:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/250958514070?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_552wt_650
on the recommendation of another thread here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1318248&highlight=bodyglove). The one I got, and have linked to above, has a pattern similar to the back of the Prada.
I've only had it a week, but it seems to be holding up well. Not the best case I've ever seen, but certainly does its job.

If anyone has an extra Body Glove case laying around shoot me a PM.

I ended up buying a slap-on case. I don't think theres anyone will make a case like that for our phone. A rubber mesh texture.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250958540061#ht_1225wt_1378

Yeah, I don't think anyone makes a case like that either. I was watching some promo video for the prada 3.0 and one of the lg marketing reps said that the back plate texture and design is exclusively a prada pattern and copyright. I can only hope, that a Hong Kong entrepreneur would be willing to make a decent knock off for the g2x.

Honesty thou, G2x/2x are not popular cell phones at all. I was in hong kong during the summer and I was simply trying to find a better looking case for my vibrant/galaxy s that time. I found nothing. I saw at least over a thousand of iPhone cases that are selling like dirt cheap. There is a 3 levels mall and everything is related to cell phone. Absolutely nothing... sigh..
Just go ahead and buy something to protect it. I think you will get a good feel on this mesh rubber case.

[Review] [Giveaway] Diztronic TPU

I just wanted to give a huge thanks to Android Fan Network (Nick) for sending me this case! :highfive: Thanks guys!
okay, so this is the first time I've ever seen a diztronic case.
i wasn't sure what to expect, honestly, i first heard about them a week ago when i saw AFN's review they posted on facebook. Well, I wanted to get my hands on a case ever since I saw that review. So, naturally I was really excited to get home from work tonight at 8pm to find this sitting in my mailbox! Even though the unit I received was pink I still wanted it on my phone, for a few minutes at least! Well, I just want to say that Diztronic really used high quality TPU when they designed this case. It really has a premium feel that a lot of TPU cases lack.
PRO's:
-fitment, honestly it is exactly like it should be. No excess space and nothing is cramped. (the IR blaster is slightly off center, but it still works perfectly)
-button covers. Yes, this is actually a PRO on this case. It is flimsy enough to allow for a tactile feedback of the button! It actually clicks. I don't know why all companies don't make this a priority.
-Lip, it has just the right amount of lip around the top edge to protect your device without going insaine
CON's: These are so minimal, I almost didn't even list them
-No grip on the sides
-camera cutout is not 'perfect' it is slightly raised and causes the phone to rock back and forth when placed on the back, it is also a large square instead of being cut the fit. (not a big deal just something to note)
-My review unit is pink and I cannot be seen with it on my phone in public.
Overall, I would give this TPU case a 5*/5* It is exactly what I look for in a case, and if it were not pink, I would keep it myself! So, if anyone would like a sparkly pink TPU case from Diztronic, I would like to offer the chance to win it, free shipping and all.
I want someone to answer the following question: (Yes, I am a math geek!)
Solve the system:
1) x+2y+2z=10
2) 2x+y+z=8
3) x+3y+2z=11
First person to give me all three numbers that x, y , and z represent wins the case with no shipping charges. Good luck!
Disregard my marked fingers. I work at starbucks and I happened to be on register during happy hour...:crying:

Let me know what you guys think, I know I love the case sans color choice!

I know, I personally love the phone and want to help build a better community here. I got this case for free and really only wanted to review it. I know I love getting something I want for free, especially something that is, in my opinion, good. I'm going to give away two other cases soon, so be on the lookout for those!
I agree though, there is a lot of negative threads here, we need more positive ones for such a great phone.

Pass it on like OP said, can't be seen in public with a pink s4 now, if my girlfriend had an s4 I'd gladly take it but she has a lame 4s
