Is this likely to heavily effect signal - Galaxy S 4 Accessories

Check out this item I found on eBay: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=111063828667
I know it will get scratched...

I have an aluminum battery cover on my S3 and it doesn't effect GPS/WIFI/NFC at all. I used it for a few months. I don't think this should have an impact either. I'm very tempted to buy one though.

Case suggestions

Hello,
I have an HTC inspire 4g. I have an otterbox defender on it and love it. But the phone is getting to where it needs a cold reboot every once in a while. And the otterbox isn't ideal for taking on and off. So I was wandering if anyone knew if there was a case I could that protected the outer rim around the camera lense but wasn't just a back cover that left the front exposed and unprotected.

I've been using a silicon case for over a year, and it's working fine for me. I spent 15 dollars at an accessory at the mall. I never put my phone in high risk situations and have only dropped it a few times

Do you know the brand name of the case?
Sent from my AT100 using XDA Premium HD app
Sorry no it's just a generic off brand
I wouldn't think it would be that hard to find on you like. I always have the best luck with authorized retailers the have better cheaper cases than the factory stores.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't metal cases interfere with cell signal?

KHOMO Samsung Galaxy S4 Back Cover

I haven't really seen anyone post up a back cover for the Galaxy S4, but this one is pretty unique. It's not plastic but it's rubberized and smooth. It makes the phone look way better than the original back cover. I do understand that there are metal back covers, but they have a black outline on them and make the phone a bit bulkier. This fits perfectly.:good:
If you're interested:laugh:

This actually looks pretty cool. Was looking for a matte back cover. Thanks!

Looks very interesting. I ordered one and should be here by Thursday. I've been looking for something like this, thanks!
Would it fit in a case like urban armor gear?
Looks very nice!

It fits on any case, but I use it without a case at times because it feels nice without it. Just the texture makes it feel great.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app
Looks good. But does it sit higher than the camera. To stop the camera lens getting scratches ?
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
I like. I might grab one. I wanted one for my S3 but it had the KHOMO logo on the outside where the Samsung logo normally is and I just thought it looked tacky.
Just bought one. I wish there were more back covers like this. Nice texture and clean looking.
A nice suede back cover would be really nice.
Does this back works with zero lemon 3000 battery?

Oh that's cool. I think we have the same battery cover. I have lime green on currently from the 6 pack on Amazon. My fre back is clear too so similar concept.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 2
Looks nice. I assume the clear plastic doesn't have the matte finish of the colored UAGs, which will make the case a little bit slipperier.
The interior back doesn't have a layer of shock-absorbing rubber. I wonder if the case will be thinner as a result.

Color is true to the Amazon color. IPod touch camera sucks. Snaps on flush and perfect with no issues and same clearance as official battery cover.

Finally got it in! Awesome case! I got a blue battery cover too. Will take pics of that also. Only downside is that this case is so much harder to get on/off. The black long sides do not flex as much as my black uag case but that's not a biggie for me cause it looks awesome and is protected like all other uag cases!

Is the clear plastic smooth or textured? I wish it didn't have the honeycomb design.

Smooth from the outside. Honeycomb is inside for shock absorption. I like the Honeycomb!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app
the honeycomb gives a reptile/crocodile skin type of look that probably won't go well with a brushed aluminum or carbon fiber battery cover. plus it makes the case look hazy/frosted in certain angles. thanks for posting pics of it. :good:

Lifeproof Trouble Anyone??

Hey guys, I currently have an Otterbox Defender and Otterbox Commuter case and was thinking about getting a Lifeproof case. I see so many terrible reviews on both the fre and nuud case about audio problems where it is hard for people to hear you or you can't hear them...I am just wondering if I should pull the trigger and buy on of these and if so which version??
Or should I wait for the new Otterbox Preserver case??
Anybody have any suggestions??

Did you read the "lifeproof" thread a little bit down the page?
Yes all 13 pages or whatever of it...hard to say...some people say the audio problem ruins the case others say they love it
Sent from my SCH-I545 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
when i put on speaker there is already an echo. like it for water proof but other then that. case sucked
Hmm...well maybe I should wait...everyone has this same problem. I suppose I could wait for the otter box...see if it is any better

Better to hold out for now. Case is pure junk.
I have gone through 4 nuud replacements plus once they sent me a fre. Not only is inbound and outbound audio degraded, but the housing of the case interferes with the proximity sensor.
Working on getting my money back right now.
Alright I'm gonna hold off on it
