For those of you that dislike the stock battery covers for you S IV, I found some nice looking replacements on amazon while browsing for accessories:

Wht Leather [Review Added 5/11/2013]

***Review: Well I finally got the leather replacement covers in...The black version has an black leather-like material on the back. White version is slightly off white leather-like material. Cut outs and fittings are great. Camera and flash cutouts are more flush with the backing than stock so it seems like better protection from scratching when left on a table. Speaker cutout no longer has the slight bump that you feel on stock. I love the roman numeral "IV" opposed to the "4" that comes stock. Quality feels awesome and I can't leave finger prints on the back of my device now. Also my device isn't twinkling like a twilight vampire on the back (for me that's a plus). S-Beam and NFC still work with the aftermarket as well. Only gripe is that protective plastic cases no longer 100% fit now as the aftermarket battery cover is slightly thicker than stock.

***Review Added 5/16/2013*** Ok...so the carbon fiber variant finally came in. Shipping took a long time (from China) This black version of the carbon fiber replacement battery cover feels similar to the leather variants. I do believe the material is the same if not similar. It does feel nice in my hands and adds a little bit of bulk just as the leather ones did. The camera lens is protected with this cover as it was with the leather one and the speaker cutout is the same. I will use the black carbon fiber more than the leather (i'm a sucker for carbon fiber). I would recommend this over one of the carbon fiber skins as this will not semi peel off and annoy the s*** out of my hand. Installation was as easy as the leather variants and the battery door matches perfectly with my device. I am not worried about cleaning the black version as I don't feel like it can pick up dirt/grime very easily. Signal does not suffer from having the back cover on, NFC and S-Beam work fine as well.
Oh wow !!
did you end up ordering something?

I bought all 4 as my girlfriend got the white s4 and I got black mist. I personally wanted the phones to have a better feel to them and I see most reviews of the s4 people are whining about it as well. As soon as I get them in I will post a review of the fit and quality as the pics from amazon are not that detailed. The leather ones just kills it for me btw can't wait for that one.
I just ordered the black carbon fiber one, can't wait!

I had the white carbon one for my SIII, and let me tell you, that thing attracts dirt like nothing else.... went through two of them in the 10 months I had the device and there's a reason why the letters don't have the silver "metal" emblems embedded in these battery doors anymore - they fall off!
Just a word of warning - I really liked the looks of these for the SIII and I wouldn't waste my money on one this go 'round.....

Sorry! To show how crappy they are, the manufacturer sent me the 2nd one for free after I took a pic of how one of the letters fell off - I threw out that one before listing my SIII on eBay because no one would have wanted it, as bad as it looked!

fingers crossed that they improved the s4 version
I had one of these for my S3. It was great because it added a bit of friction plus was just thick enough to protect the camera lens. Just ordered this one.
Is an alumium cover a no go because of reception or can it also be used?

I agree with the point about friction, but damnit that thing got dirty! Did you have yours for long?
Now I kind of like the smooth surface again only for the fact that I can use the PuGoo I have placed around my house - on the bathroom mirror, on a cupboard door in the kitchen, etc.... Love that stuff and was kind of disappointed the carbon was too coarse for the it to securely attach to the PuGoo, safely, it would stay for a few seconds and then give out because it couldn't grip it well enough, unlike how your hands could grip the back case nicely when out and about, and I would use the PuGoo about 1% of the time compared to how often I had the phone in my hands, hah

honestly I don't mind the worn leather look that the white version may/may not get, besides I have a plethora of leather cleaners for sneakers in my closet i'm sure one of them can clean it if it gets dirty.

I found this case on amazon.
(Since I'm a new user I'm not allowed to post outside links)
But you can find it under the name of "Diztronic Matte Back Black Flexible TPU Case for Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket". Its only $9.90 with free shipping. It has a soft smooth back side which adds a little grip the already slippery back. The only downside for me (might not be a problem for you) is that the volume rocker becomes a more sensitive again that might not be a problem for you.
As soon as I get a chance I will take pictures of the case on the phone as well as off the phone so you guys can see. And I'll update the link when i pass the post limit
Hope this helps!

The gloss black version of that case was one of the first Skyrocket cases ever sold. It's a good case. A few reviews are here on the forum. But post up your pics anways, can't ever have enough pics.
I probably should've checked to see if they already had reviews on it. But yeah hopefully tomorrow I can take the pictures. It looks pretty cool with the white SK.

I used that case til I got my Seidio surface combo. I really liked it. Easy on, easy off, matte finish made it slip in and out of pocket easily. It even fit in my Seidio holster.
The only thing I didnt like about it was the gloss lip around the front, while it looked good, it grabbed pocket lint and made it build up on the screen around the edges.
Good case though. And for less than $10 cant complain much.
Here's a link to the one I bought off eBay.
Yeah that's probably the only other problem I have. But it doesnt really bother me much. A quick wipe with my shirt or something and its gone

I have the seidio it is OK. But I also have this one http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=280790587387&index=7&nav=WATCHING&nid=48204636389 the ringke slim white case. It is pretty much so light of a case still protects the edges and everything unlike the barely there cases. This is the slimmest case ever makes your phone the a looker.

Also have the ringke slim white case. Definitely a great looker. Only problem I've had is the usb plug on the bottom breaking off.

That's a good looking case.
I hate the caps though. I'd want to rip them all off.
Does it look flakey or "broken" with the cap removed? Like it's obvious that something used to be there and is now missing?
Or does it look okay?
Any chance you could post a macro picture of where the cap broke off?
Didn't had the issue with breaking that part of.

Yeah I love this case.. It gives me a awesome looking white touch to it, without the whole phone being all white. Personally think it is ugly when the front is white too. I like the back white. The black and white makes it look very nice. People always asked, but what is that for a phone? Is the Skyrocket *****es lol

Hey guys, just got this phone today, well yesterday now I guess. Anyways, I was looking at this Ringke case and I was wondering if in fact it does have the weird cut out on the top corner? I keep seeing it in the product pictures and I cant figure out why it's there.

First two pics are the top headphone cap on and off, last pic is bottom of the phone with the usb cap broken off.
The cut out is because the Japanese version has a antenna for watching TV and it is right on that corner. Look it online and it also has that ugly hardware button in the front instead all touch buttons.

Thanks for the pics.
Looks just fine with the cap ripped off.
I like that the buttons for volume & power are open.
The only thing I don't like about the TPU case is that it has a cover over the volume buttons.
The nice thing about that is the power button is open, so it's easy to know what end is up when you're grabbing the phone while it's in your pocket.

Close but not quite right.
It's because of the Korean version's DMB (digital multimedia broadcasting - i.e. mobile TV) antenna.
By the way, many prefer the physical center button over the capacitive variant offered in the US.
Thanks I was close. Thanks you for clearing this exactly up. I appreciate it.

I bought one of those fishbone cases on ebay. Just got it today, looks great, and seems to protect well, without adding too much bulk. Not bad for $8.95 + free shipping.

I was perusing the Rearth Case thread and from there came across the i-Blason TPU case. Like the Rearth, it's $10USD well in US, not sure if it's available internationally yet.
I have it on and sporting it right now. I do like it. It gives the phone better grip IMO. The only negative is that it's not clear. I mean you can still see the nexus name but not the sparklies lol. I have also posted a pic of a holster that I had back when the HTC Sensation first came out and I needed some sort of holster before Seidio came out with one. Don't mind the cords lol...

If someone could comment on a good glossy tpu case (maybe this one is), I find those have much better grip than matte.

I respectfully disagree with your opinion. For my Sensation, I have both the cheap ebay ones that can be bought for around 2-4 dollars and I currently have the i-Blason. Yes they are similar, but the main difference for me when I got these for my Sensation was that the openings and buttons did not align 100%. With the i-Blason, on the Sensation anyway did. So that is why I was inquiring if anyone has tried these out yet.
But you may be right, you never know with new products, but I want to see the proof in the pudding.
I don't know about their quality yet, but I pre-ordered with them because they claimed to be shipping on the 13th. So I figured I'd pick it up just because it was the first case I saw available.
Well turns out it didn't ship until the 21st and that was the last day of their expected timeframe that it would be delivered. They did not expedite the shipping and would not get back to me about requesting a refund on the shipping.
At this point, even if it's a nice case I'm sending it back. I don't like doing business with companies that fail to communicate (and yes, at least with Google I had someone to call regardless of them knowing something, they still answered. They also honored Free shipping for failing to meet shipping timeframe).
Other than that, I ordered the black one and I'll update with the quality of it and pics with it on the device.

I also ordered this case in Frost Clear.
I was a little disheartened to look at the product photos today and see the true representation of the case on the phone.
When I ordered the case on the 19th, the images they showed on Amazon were obviously Photoshopped, but I had hoped they were a decent representation of the case, just not having an actual model phone to place them on for product photos.
The Frost Clear product on the 19th looked like this in their image : imgur.com/PrIEy.jpg
Now, looking at the new image they have, the thing is near white. : imgur.com/PrIEy.jpg
I should have mine in an hour or two, and can take photos and post if anyone is interested. I'll wait to get it in my hands to determine if I'm satisfied. I was looking for something a bit more subdued and dark, yet clear enough to see the rear design of the phone a bit. This new white frosted version is much the opposite of that.

Hmmm, for my sisters s3 she had also ordered 2 cases. One from I-Blason for 15$ and the same on from hong kong for 2.50$ and in the end I think even the Hong Kong was better but your opinion is your own and I will not change it Its just im in high school and I make sure to get the best deals because I cant just go buy the most expensive ones.
Received mine - Photos
Just got mine in the mail. Again, it's definitely not what I was expecting with the original product shots they used on the amazon page.
Here's the gallery : imgur.com/a/QcCKr
I got this as a stop-gap until the bumper or a nicer case was available, so I'm not cringing so much for the time being, but it definitely looks cheap and looks like a toy with this on.
I was hoping for a more tinted plastic with a dark tinted plastic for the back, as the original images would have you believe.
I can say, for the most part, the new photos are very representative of the final product.
Aside from the looks, it feels pretty secure. the case has a bit of give on the left and right sides of the phone, making it feel squishy. The back part that is frosted isn't very grippy, it's more of a paper-like feel, like they just sanded down the clear material. there's no logos to be seen on the case at all, which i'm actually quite happy about. I figured the i-blason logo was going to be on the back, as some of the images had shown. The clear portions aren't super grippy, but there's a bit more than the bare Nexus 4 had. The buttons are harder to press than they are bare.Kinda hard to get used to the pressure needed. It's not a ton, but more than I'm used to.
There's a notch at the top of the front, for the receiver, which was a nice touch, to keep it fully open. The ridge around the front of the phone covers the chrome completely and comes in on the curved glass almost all the way. the height from screen-plane to top of the ridge is probably no more than 1mm, if that. It's the same thickness as a credit card, if that gives anyone a good indicator.
Overall, I'm alright with the purchase. I wasn't expecting a top quality case, just something to make me feel a bit more secure with it until the right case arrives. I didn't like the common s-curve case, so I got this one. sorta wished I had gotten the dark grey s-curve instead, to have the darker look I wanted.
Hope this helps anyone else out there.

I figured the i-blason logo was going to be on the back, as some of the images had shown. The clear portions aren't super grippy, but there's a bit more than the bare Nexus 4 had. The buttons are harder to press than they are bare.Kinda hard to get used to the pressure needed. It's not a ton, but more than I'm used to.
There's a notch at the top of the front, for the receiver, which was a nice touch, to keep it fully open. The ridge around the front of the phone covers the chrome completely and comes in on the curved glass almost all the way. the height from screen-plane to top of the ridge is probably no more than 1mm, if that. It's the same thickness as a credit card, if that gives anyone a good indicator.
Overall, I'm alright with the purchase. I wasn't expecting a top quality case, just something to make me feel a bit more secure with it until the right case arrives. I didn't like the common s-curve case, so I got this one. sorta wished I had gotten the dark grey s-curve instead, to have the darker look I wanted.
Hope this helps anyone else out there.

Just got mine, I ordered the black, but amazon sent me the Frost Clear along with the Black, so I got 2 cases for the price of one lol....I can tell you the black looks nice, much nicer then the clear I think, I had a clear one on my S3 and no matter what clear TPU starts to turn yellow over time. Will post some pics in a few of the black. The case looks alot like Diztronic it has a matte black finish on the back and gloss bezel, it covers the curved edge of the glass, which for me is a nice touch since most screen protectors that arent wet apply won't be covering that part of the phone...one thing is the bottom and top edge, since the bezel is covered up my screen protector i had to cut since it was pushing it up other than that great buy for 10 bucks..also the cutouts are perfectly aligned....no complaints fits securely in the case much like a Diztronic case.
And a few more pics
Well I got my covers and id post pictures but they'd just be redundant. Not much to see

Any way to polish up the back to make it more grippy? Seems silly to have a case be just as slippery as the phone

Really havent tried the clear one but the black one is grippy enough where its not super slippery like the phone itself. the back feels the same as the matte finishes on my diztronic cases.
Just received my frost clear one in the mail. Honestly wasn't expecting too much out of it, so I'm pretty content with the product. Sorry I don't have another camera on me to take pictures of it with it on the phone, but the updated pictures on their Amazon page comes pretty close. It is clear around with the back having that "frost" look, so you can see the Nexus and LG logo pretty clearly. I would've liked it if the whole case all around was that translucent frost, but IMO it's not too bad. I also wish the cut outs were more precise, especially for the rear speaker. It's just this big cut out as if they just guesstimated it... this is one thing that looks better and more precisely done in the Amazon photos than IRL. But overall it's alright. Only using it so I don't have to be concerned with damaging my phone until I get a nicer case when they start coming out.
Hi.
I'm liking the s4 quite a lot (after uninstalling almost every samsung app)
I'm impressed with the hardware, but there's one thing that bothers me.
I don't like that the battery cover is so smooth, I feel that I will drop my phone any day now.
So, if I don't want to use a case or cover for my phone (don't like the added bulk, even the smallest case bothers me). Is there a replacement battery cover that has a rubberized or textured back that is less slippery that the original?
I really liked my old phones (nexus one and galaxy nexus) the feeling in the hand was a lot more secure because of the rubbery back.
So far I only found a metal battery cover, and cases... lots of cases... I just want more grip, not bulk added to my phone.

Has anyone found a battery back/door that feels kind of rubberized? perfect example is the ringke Slim case. I love the feel of the case and want a battery cover that feels like that. I really don't care much for carbon fiber look. something with a soft matte coating like the Ringke would be amazing!

I saw it awhile ago on another forum and it seemed to hold up well for them. I've never done it though. If you want to give it a try here are some instructions: (here's a link but all the pictures are down; here
1. Just clean the back of the phone with any ammonia free cleaner - Invisible glass in my case.
2. Buff it dry with any lint free towel (dont want threads in the final product)
3. Find a suitable spot to spray - a cardboard box should do the trick
4. Do 2-3 thick coats - and if you want the lettering to show allow the plastidip to dry between coats (10-15 min)

Aww, you beat me to it.
Pros: Select your own color, Peel it off when you get bored with it and change the color. Cons: Easily peels once it gets started so any nicks can mean having to redo it (thus not too pocket friendly).
To get plastidip to bond better rough up the batt cover a bit with some sand paper. That stuff is super strong and has a ton of different purposes. I use to use it to waterproof my ESCs on my rc trucks lol.

I didn't have any luck with plastidip on my s2 battery cover, at first, it felt and looked AMAZING, however, upon placing the phone in my pocket a couple of times (within a day or two), the rubber coating comes off first at the corners, then elsewhere.

Did you rough the door, with sand paper, prior to spraying, in order to help the Plastidip adhere?
Try a goo.ey skin, it's a sticky pad you put on the back of your phone, it allows you to stick the phone to windows and mirrors too, it also makes your phone a bit more grippy.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Gooey-skin-...=UTF8&qid=1431467151&sr=8-4&keywords=gooey+s4
and here is a promo video for it.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=BeAN5vwRZxY
It's not all that reliable sticking to surfaces (It's great if you keep washing it, but loses sticky if you don't), but I've had mine on my phone for 2 years now and it's never come off the phone it'self. It does add a tiny bit of depth to the phone, but it's only a tiny bit and it does make my phone more grippy.
Just an idea, and maybe worth a go for £6

Does this battery for fit in all cases / does it add anything to thickness or edge width?
Please provide more details and a link. Thanks!
I will post few pictures for a comparison on Saturday or Sunday.
I dont have this cover installed yet but I think it should fit all of the cases because I didnt notice any "black edition" cases being made separetly
OK. I recently found another 32GB MDK S4 on eBay. It came with several cheap cases, but also one of the "carbon fiber" looking battery doors. I don't know the source, but it is rubbery.
It has "Galaxy S4" inscribed, near the bottom.
The side edges are smooth and a bit slick, but the woven look area is quite tacky. I like it, a lot.

I prefer flip cases...
yayago Premium Flip-New-Style (from Amazon).
Very good quality - leather - very good price...
I'm using the original HTC case for this phone. I got it from eBay, for about 15 Euro. It fits the phone perfectly, as expected. It's scratch-resistant and it looks just dandy. My only grief with it is that the upper front "lip" (the case has sort of a lip close to the power button and headphones jack, maybe to grip the phone a little better) had to be filed off a little, because every time i would slide the phone into the case, the lip would lift my screen protector (it was an easy 10 minute fix).
Had case but not using it anymore. It made Gsm and WiFi signal weak. Now, without case all OK.

Sorry to reawaken a dead thread, but are you still using this case? Does the white back cover show through around the camera, or does the silicon part cover right up to the black camera cover? Considering either your one or a similar one by the same manufacturer (can't post links apparently, but the eBay item ID is 190846814472).

No problem at all. Hopefully I can help ya out.
I've moved on to the S3 so I no longer have any of these cases. The white, back cover of the SV does show through a little but not much.
Check this link out. It has the case available in 8 color combos. I ended up buying the black rubber w/ red plastic and the one with yellow rubber w/ black plastic. What's so cool about buying a couple is it allows you to mix up the cases and get more options. I had 2 cases and ended up with 4 combos. lol :good:

This case is by far one of the absolute best fitting cases I have ever had and it is very well made. The kickstand comes in very handy too.. This is saying a lot because out of all the phones I've owned, I've probably bought 30 cases. For the price, you can't beat it!!
The white showing through the camera opening is minimal. I shared this case with many of my buddies over in the Android Forums, Boost HTC One SV section and many of them ended up buying it. Every single one of them loved it and not a one said anything about the camera opening. :good:

Aye, this is pretty neat. There's maybe about a 3mm gap around the camera where the white shows, but it actually looks surprisingly nice with the white highlights. The kickstand is extremely tight (had to pop it out with a wee metal ruler) but I'd rather that than have it falling out all the time when I'm not using it!

It fits like a glove too doesn't it? For the money, it's a very nice case. You can get 1 more case and end up with 4 different color combos. As I mentioned earlier, I bought the red plastic w/ blsck rubber and the black plastic w/ yellow rubber. I used the black on black combo quit a bit. I liked the yellow rubber w/ red plastic too. It was something different that stood out. Easy to spot too! LOL!!!!
I'm glad you like it. My kickstands fit tight too as you mentioned. I'm like you. I would rather have them fit tight than have them flopping open all the time.
I recommend going with Tech Armor screen protectors also. The company has an installation video that if followed correctly, will eliminate bubbles. They have a lifetime warranty too. I went with the HD clear protectors and they look great inside. They're a little difficult to see in the California sunshine though. I talked w/ a buddy of mine who bought the Tech Armor matte protectors. I just sent him one of mine today and he is sending me one of his. I know the matte will not look as good as far as screen clarity but it will probably help cut down on the glare when outside. Seeing as I'm outside a good bit, if the matte is easier to see I'll probably end up ordering a 3 pack of them.
Tech Armor makes a great product and they are well worth the $6 or $7 price tag for a 3 pack. :good:

Hey, folks–
I'm on the hunt for a super thin case for my Pixel XL. By super thin, I mean, like in the 0.35mm range like the Peel cases for the iPhone (or Pinlo).
I've been searching around and I think the thinnest I've found so far are the clear case by Google and Spigen's Liquid Crystal Google Pixel XL Case, which appear to be about 0.64 to 1.63 mm and 0.762 mm thick respectively (they don't provide the case thickness specifically, so these are estimates based on product dimensions minus the actual Pixel XL's dimensions divided by two).
These are still too thick for my taste though. I don't like the look of those thick jelly cases.
I ordered a Naked Wrap from SlickWraps on the 10th, but I have yet to even receive a confirmation of my order from them outside of the PayPal receipt and I haven't been happy historically with the clear skins, so I'm looking for an alternative.
Has anyone spotted or heard of a company that might be developing Peel-like cases for the Pixel?
Well said and I am with you. Waiting for either that or a calicase. I did buy the Google clear because it may be perfect.

Considering you have a similar aesthetic, it sounds like, I would be curious to hear your impressions of the Google clear case.
Thanks for mentioning the CaliCase too–another brand for me to keep my eye on, their Ultra Thin cases definitely fit the bill. Too bad they're relatively inactive on Social and don't really talk about what they have in the works.

NP, next week I get it and the black silicone factory G case too. I also ordered a BearMotion because it's $8 and frankly I never have anything but success with them. The sand finish is the best for grip and they are really very thin. Usually no lip coverage though but that's kind of where I want the case to end. Just something about being able to slide your thumb from edge to edge without touching case improves the experience dramatically IMHO.
Looks like Spigen updated the pics of the Liquid Crystal case. Picture says .4 MM thick.

Unless that image is horribly cached for me, it still says 0.4 inches thick and they're referring to the whole phone including the case, which is why I landed at 0.762 mm in my first post because the Pixel XL is listed as 0.34" thick at its thickest point, so (0.4-0.34)/2 = 0.03 inches which is 0.762 mm (even though the back is probably thicker than the front).
Still looks pretty thin for a jelly case, but I'm holding out hope for one that doesn't add even that much bulk.
Doh. For some reason my brain read .4 MM thick.

I will when I receive. A note, get a DARK color. They pick up oils quick. Got a powder blue for my OG Note 7 and wound up with a dirt covered faded case in a week. But alas, the dark ones feel awesome and are thin as ****.
The bear motion cases are awesome. Grabbed a black one and green one. Have the green on my Nexus 6p and love the contrast.
As far as thin cases go...hard to beat.

I'm happy that there's hope for us thin-lovers, but I'm still holding out for a semi-transparent one like the Peel cases so that I can see my phone through it–the frosted white / pretty-much transparent one that they call "silver" is calling my name. Part of my desire for such a thin case is to enjoy the natural industrial design of the phone but give it just a touch of protection. My Nexus 6P had begun to show a few of the drops on the corners recently and that's what I'm hoping to avoid.

I had one of those for my iPhone 6s+. They are great, would be nice if they made one for the XL
Insignia has a case that's kinda like the peel cases. I had one for the iPhone 6 plus and it was thin as hell and felt very nice. I hope they make it for the xl.
im on the same boat. I ordered another clear case for $8 bucks in the meantime until i am able to get somethign like this below:

Hey, folks–
I'm on the hunt for a super thin case for my Pixel XL. By super thin, I mean, like in the 0.35mm range like the Peel cases for the iPhone (or Pinlo).
I've been searching around and I think the thinnest I've found so far are the clear case by Google and Spigen's Liquid Crystal Google Pixel XL Case, which appear to be about 0.64 to 1.63 mm and 0.762 mm thick respectively (they don't provide the case thickness specifically, so these are estimates based on product dimensions minus the actual Pixel XL's dimensions divided by two).
These are still too thick for my taste though. I don't like the look of those thick jelly cases.
I ordered a Naked Wrap from SlickWraps on the 10th, but I have yet to even receive a confirmation of my order from them outside of the PayPal receipt and I haven't been happy historically with the clear skins, so I'm looking for an alternative.
Has anyone spotted or heard of a company that might be developing Peel-like cases for the Pixel?
