anyone tried them? the ones like stickers and i don't mean the transparent ones i mean the ones with colors and designs like this one for example: w w w.skinomi.com/samsung-fascinate-carbon-fiber-skin-protector.html
its a good idea to protect the phone without bulky cases I'm just worried about the edges are they peeling off due to everyday use like putting them in pockets and taking them out? anyone can share his experience?
I've used them on other devices and they do really stick. For my SGS I got a replacement back plate instead and love it.

Which one and where did you get it?

I've used similar decals on my ipod they worked well, removable to.
Ones I had before where from decal girl I think
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Yes I like decalgirl. Neat stuff there, lots of choices. They come off clean as well and can be adjusted a little when you first put them on. They just go on the back and the front, no side coverage which is ok because that's where it gets messy. I had an Omnia 2 and the cutouts were very good.
Just noticed today my camera lens has a fine scratch running across it. Its about a hair away from the shutter thankfully. Didn't think this thing would scratch that easily...Ive had a case on and haven't even dropped it once since I got it on day 1 of release!
Anyone else in the same boat as me? Now I'm pretty worried I will get another one across the lens area and it will cause my camera to be useless...and I already know vzw won't replace the phone for something like that (not that id want one of the junk refurbs anyway)

You can replace the camera lens for almost nothing. The cover you see when you take the battery cover off has the camera lense embedded in it and can be replaced in 2 seconds with a small screw driver. The cover is like $5 I think.

Hmmm...if I could find one around that price is probably buy it! I can only find the camera module itself for $35...do you have any idea where I could go about finding the cover?

I can't seem to find it but I remember it was like $5 off a spare parts site. Maybe somebody else will chime in.

No scratches. My back of my phone case is about 5mm deep, so fortunately it protects the lens.
Didn't know u can replace cover tho. Good info to file away for later
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
That's good to know it can be replaced. The back cover from Verizon goes for about $8 also, so now I'm not too worried about scratches.
Thanks for the link! I guess color doesn't matter since you don't see that part anyway!

+1 to OP. Glad to know I have options. Fortunately the bad scratch I have stopped just short of causing any issues. No clue how it got there.

I wouldn't buy that one. I just got one and it doesn't match perfectly on VZW version. Notice the open hole towards the bottom. Also bottom inside parts doesn't allow it to easily sit flush. Screw holes match up though. The ebay one is the bottom picture.
If anyone knows of a way to get a VZW version let me know. Seems others may know of other sites? The actual fix is easy. Just need the part.
My problem is worse.
Ouch! Thanks for the heads up.

I got the extended battery more for the protection of the camera than battery life. The extended cover has a nice deep hole to protect the camera, speaker and flash. It also helps a tiny bit with sun glare on certain pics... a very tiny bit.
What are the chances that we will see replacement backings sold? Would they only be possible from LG or third parties too? I'd love to see a plastic replacement backing sold, if for no other reason than to have an extra back to use when I'm going out, just replace it at home and head out

I don't know, but I hope it is soon. I'd love to see some carbon fiber or leather backs being made.
with antennas and other components attached to the back glass wouldn't it be pretty unfeasible to see replacement backs?
What do you mean replace it at home and be out? You realize is screwed in right? It's also got a whole bunch of crap attached to it like antennas and wireless charging stuff.
If you mean like a skin or something, check out Skinomi they already have carbon fiber skins and others for this device.

I know it has screws but it can still be taken off, its just not "hot swappable" (easy to take off). I'm fairly certain it's still feasible to have different backings available, and maybe the replace it for going out was a little much, maybe its a bit more difficult than that, but to be able to replace it with something made of carbon fibre would be fantastic, just to not worry about the glass. Or even a replacement made of the same stuff for worse case scenario (it breaks). As for antennas and such, of course these would have to be taken into account for and added to any new ones.

I suggest you take a look at this: http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Nexus+4+Teardown/11781/1#s42123
Replacing the back really isn't an option. Skinning it is obviously a different story.

You're acting like the back of the Nexus 4 is hideous or something. It's actually the most beautiful back side I've seen on a phone since the iPhone 4. Cool your jets and don't mess with what you have.
Q
I would love to see a replacement back that had a 4000mAh battery in it. I don't care if it added 6-8mm of bulk to the back. As long as it had a battery and another set of charging wires for the Qi charger I'd be happy.
I want some POWER!

No body said anything like that, but let's be honest here, chances are it'll scratch or break, and id like to have a backup, or as the person above said an extended battery thrown in would be super cool, id gladly take an extra 4-6mm for some more juice

Why don't you cool your jets before jumping to conclusions? I actually like the back and think it looks nice. However, it is glass and will crack eventually. I'm very careful with my phones and have never had a cracked screen, but accidents do happen. I also don't like how slippery it is. I'm getting a case for it to fix that problem, but just replacing the back with a different material would be nice. Just because YOU don't want a product doesn't mean others don't either.

Nexus 4 doesn't have a replaceable back and most likely never will... Use a good protective case when going out. I leave a case in my car and use it when I know I'm going out to the bar.
sometimes I joke to myself to tape the edges and the camera/speaker on the back and give the phone a quick once over using FlexSeal (rubber in a can) to protect it. LOL
That cannot be good for heat diffusion.

That seems hard to you? A proper torx screwdriver and a guitar pick would have the backing off in a hurry.
For those who say the backing is "not replaceable" must not have owned a Galaxy Nexus. At first people said it couldn't be replaced easily but then the white rear housing was released and people started swapping it onto their phones with no problem. And that rear housing requires much more patience and work than the backing of the Nexus 4 does.
I really wouldn't be surprised if we start seeing replacement backings in the near future. Ideally, I would like to see one without glass for obvious reasons. One with kevlar would be FANTASTIC!
Hi. Simple Problem but very annoying.
I can't put a cover/case on my HTC One S because when I do, the phone shut down.
The cover compress the back piece and makes the little button get stuck (as the same as if I was holding it) and then the phone shut down.
If I remove the back piece, I can put the cover/case on no problem. But than, that little button is hard to find and dust can enter in my phone.
Is this a problem that every user have with hard cover on their HTC One S?
I don't wanna spent another 15$ dollar on a gel cover that will make my phone do the same thing... but I wanna get a cover...
No cover, this phone won't last me a year!
You guys found a cover for your HTC One S?
I'm starting to think that it might not be a cover/case problem but a phone problem....
Thanks in advance !
Sorry for the english, not my first language.
havent used any case but i dont think your button is supposed to act in that manner
To be Sure, check with HTC service center and maybe they could help
I have a problem with my trident case where it is pressing down on my volume buttons. Already sent it back. Probably gonna sell it and buy another case

Sounds like a badly made case, send it back if you can and buy a better one. I use an Otterbox Defender and have no problems with the buttons.

My cover has a hole where the power button is, it's not the most awesome case ever (if any it's a bit plain) but I found it in a vodafone store with the screen protector included.
I hope it helps.

I wish somebody would just make a plastic back cover. It would be much more durable.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
I agree that you should spend the extra $30 and get a complete unit but to answer your question the first one is the back cover and the second one looks to be just the glass that would sit inside the frame.

Yeah I'm surprised this hasn't come about, though I assume it's because of the complexity inherent in swapping the back.
