Does anyone make a battery cover(NOT A CASE) that is rubberized?
I recently decided to go caseless and I don't like the feel of the stock battery cover.
I looked all over ebay.
Anyone know if anyone makes something like this?
I haven't seen anything rubberized but I have seen leather back covers. Would something like that work?

Hi guys,
I was wondering if anyone knows of a rubberised g2 battery cover so that I can improve the grip of my phone.
I've found the aluminium back to be particularly slippery so I've bought a cheap case but it ruins the appearance of the phone and makes it bulky
Any ideas guys?
Thanks!
I bought the BodyGlove from Best Buy. It fits well and really helps!
If you search the Desire Z/G2 forums, there are a few threads on cases.....otterboxes, etc..
The OP is saying he doesn't want a case so those other threads won't help. One idea is to spray the battery cover with Plasti Dip (or maybe buy a spare cover to do it). I've never tried before, but I heard someone in the Nexus S forums had success doing it.
OK, I get that now! Why not use a film cover like this:

I use it on my Desire Z, requires some patience and dexterity to install, and it added serious grip to the phone. It has a cutout that fits the battery door to perfection!
Any idea why the picture on that is a Hero with the Desire Z's film cover thing
I really don't like the extended battery door that came with my ebay 3000 mah battery, so I lightly modded the original door to make it fit the extended battery. Keep in mind this is my first attempt... it has a lot of room for improvement.
do you know if you can use the ebay case with a belt clip holster? I am not a fan of the seidio case either, the ebay case looks better.
Looks good, whats tools did you use?
I was thinking about doing this but don't have the proper tool too. Have you considered making a plastic mold to cover the battery? I have heard of people using some thing call shurgoo to make custom plastic pieces.
I have seen pictures somewhere on here of people that are using the seidio clip holster with the back half of the case removed with the ebay battery door, but I now cant find the pictures... i know that mine would fit in a normal belt clip holster because the bottom and top are still as if it was in the stock case.
As far as tools, i just used a pocket knife, a pair of scissors and liquid super glue. Maybe shoe-goo? i dont have any idea what shurgoo is? I do want to try to make something out of plastic or fiberglass resin maybe.
I don't mind having the extra thickness, but all 3 of the extended battery covers I've gotten via eBay always have bad fitment just around the power button. It sticks out past the button and/or that same corner never stays down. I'm tempted to do something like take the stock cover, cut an opening in it, and then epoxy the hump from extended cover onto the stock cover. After that, I plan on finishing it off w/ wrapping it in some 3M DiNOC black CF since I've got some extra sitting around. Anyone wanna donate a stock battery cover?
I have 3500 batery, so phone is quite thick.
I want a case that fully covers the screen. I like the pdair leather case.

But I doubt it would fit. Any Ideas as to first, if i could force the thick phone into the plastic sheath, without breaking either phone, or sheath.
Or if not, any other ideas for full case?
i ordered 1 from amazon and it adds way too much thickness to the phone...the case was from eforcity
it was only 2 bucks, but i never drop my phone anyway, so i don't really need a case
I was hoping someone could help with this also. I have a pouch case I bought at Wal-Mart but it still fits a bit to tight.
I would also like this. Something without a belt clip.

Came across this case on ebay, and I very much like the look of it. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with this/these types of cases? Also, I remember I bought a metal case for my HTC Kaiser a few years back and it affected the phone signal significantly and I could barely pick anything up at all.
I'm currently using a pretty cool "rubber" type case which was cheap and I'm happy with, but wouldn't mind exploring other avenues too for a aluminium case.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I forgot to say.. This is case I'm currently using

I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a soft case
I've heard mixed reviews about these and have never tried one myself, but here you go:

darn. i like the material/build of the aluminum one but i wish it was made so you can flip it open rather than open the case then flip the phone open...
Anyone familiar with this case? I came across it on amazon. It looks like a decent case but what about the battery?
