[Q] Samsung Galaxy S Metal Backplate/Battery Cover?

Title says all, is there a metal backplate cover for the SGS? Couldn't find one on the usual market sites in the Netherlands.

Nope , there's no metallic backcover for the I9000 , atleast from the manufacturer , since samsung keeps things plastic to reduce weight
But i however use an extra metallic cover on top of the plastic back , to make it look nice and glossy

Well I wasn't hoping for a Samsung one but more of a third party one. That case seems interesting, mind sharing the link?

Apart from the late reply , am also sorry to tell you that these covers that i bought aren't available online , just bought from some mobile dealer in my local area a long time back , not sure if it is still available
I will put their pictures so you will knoe what to look for , and yes even plain solid colours were available.

Im also looking for a back cover but in aluminium . I have spoken to a guy who can help me make one but he needs a 3D drawing of the back cover. I have email samsung regarding sketch but i dont think the will reply. I started this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1496721

Yea it looks hard to tell if it's totally clear or frosted back. The minisuit are translucent enough to see the sparkle effect, but no "clear" version.
In japan they always sell these great totally clear and gel colored tpu but cant find a vendor.

Yeah I know. I just reread the forum after I posted that. I feel stupid..

http://www.gultek.eu/htc-spare-parts/housing/one-s-white.html
Although I am sure that this is the devil's material (plastic) it's all I could find.
Also, it's out of stock, which is really bloody annoying.

I think i found it! http://stellatech.com/htc-one-s-back-cover-(white),a,en,814376.html doesnt know anything about it, but it says its original

Here is a full housing cover and the shop is legit and trustworthy and the other parts have pictures and they looks like original! The company is also from germany and it's big enough that they can't sell imperfect items.
Yes, English is not my native languange

I'm buying the one you linked from aliexpress. Ill constantly update this post to inform you how long it took, how much it was ect.
Edit 1: So i just purchased it, the White housing was $53.19. I decided to go with EMS shipping which is 35.79 leading to a total of $88.98, woah thats alot. I will edit this post again in 5-15 days (when i get my housing) with pictures and more!
Edit 2: The seller shipped it, now i wait more..

Why are you getting this? I mean is it just for the white housing?
I purchased (at a jacked up price at a T-mobile store no less) an awesome white housing car with a chrome (plastic, but not painted chrome..in other words, no chipping that shows white underneath) by Skullcandy and I paid $39.99, which i am sure can get for around $10 now.....
So i am just curious....what is the big draw here?
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium

The big draw is that your phone is literally no longer silver this isn't just a case its an entire new body for the phone. This is also handy for those who have scratches and marks on their phones
Sent from my One S using xda app-developers app

Is it white all the way through or is it coated in some way?

Tell us about the housing when you get it. Im not sure if it will fit on our one s, because maybe the white special edition has some changes in its housing. Im waiting for the seller answer.
Enviado desde mi Nexus 7 usando Tapatalk 2

I see... it's not a case.
I would expect there to be done issues switching the housings though. Will follow this thread...

TETDED Leather Case for Google Nexus 4 / LG E960 - Dijon III

Hello,
My first (and maybe last ) review.
I wanted a beautiful case for my beautiful nexus 4.
A "leather" one (well you never really know if it's some real leather, but anyway...).
TETDED cases looked very beautiful on some websites so i decided to buy one but had a hard time finding the Dijon III (Venus: Burgundy Red/ Toffee Yellow). I was afraid too it would look like too "girly", you will judge by yourself but i find it's not.
I bought it on aliexpress. I don't know if we are allowed to advert for some seller so i won't but you can find it easily if you type TETDED Premium Leather Case. It costs 38$ . I have ordered the 18th of february and received it today (18th of march, I live in Canada).
My pictures are not as good as the seller's ones but my pictures are real life you know :cyclops:
Pros : looks great, excellent build quality it seems to me (for 38$ it should be !), it clips (you know it's important when you have a flip case, it won't open by itself) i don't know if it's the best English word but i'm sure you will understand.
Cons : ... well... price ? (as always)
Now the pictures

Dude, that thing is beautiful! Thanks for the review.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium HD app

Pretty nice case and good review! Can you direct us on where you got it? Was it directly from TETDED?
Forgive me but the case, while looks nice, looks like a pastry lol. Maybe I'm just hungry for dessert lol.

Well pastry... why not
You can find it on the aliexpress website, you can type TETDED PREMIUM and the store is named RAU DX STORE
To me it reminded me some italian art... dont ask me why i dont even know
I would like to add that this case dont cover all the screens borders so you can touch the beautiful rounded edges of the screen. Yeah i like to touch the sides of the screen

It looks very nice, it reminds me of the vaja case I had on for my old iphone.

How about when you are in phone call? Does the front flip need to be open when you are in phone call? or we can do the phone call with the front flip closed? And how about the phone call sound? thx

Where are the BUMPERS!!!

OK so this phone has been announced for a few weeks now and i have not seen any bumpers/cases. Anyone know of anything out there?

Not what I'd buy, I want a bumper like the Hulu ones for the current Moto X that just cover the sides.

Free? That would be awesome!

This years Moto E for Verizon came with a powder blue bumper when it was released as a promotional item, so I'd believe it.

That would be awesome! Hope that "promo" is not just for the USA but worldwide.

Basically last year LOADS of people smashed their screens even after just one fall ... soo I guess this is to help prevent that.
All phones are like this now ... why? Because the screens have a curve at the ends and also Metal body phones dont bend instead they just pass on the impact rather like plastic which can take impact (be it damage lol).
So yeah ... expect Free Bumper

Just a rubber band that goes around the frame of the phone. Unlike a case it doesnt spoil the look yet still gives great protection.

So I may have been misinformed about what a bumper is. Sorry guys. The one that came with the Moto E had a back on it, but it was clear. It did still come with the same type of protection however.

Because of the Unique backs I reckon Moto will send a Bumper rather than a case.

hello
this bumper option is quite interesting especially with the cuztomization on the moto x style
my question is, concerning the back covers. Is it worth taking a custom one from motorola when ordering (bamboo, leather etc) or is just better to take the basic one and buy one from third party? (if any available)
thank you
