Walked into a local Tmobile store and I noticed that the Charcoal variant had a somewhat soft touch on the back cover. I chose the white because I didn't know anything about this soft touch, and the white is just straight plastic.
Has anyone been able to find the stock back covers for sale anywhere?
I have spoken to a friend who works for samsung, and the black or white cover will be available soon, just the price has not been confirmed, anyone looking for the release of the gold or blue cover, apparently it has been delayed, samsungs reason is that if the cover are availble now, many people will just get the black phone and buy the extra cover, and the samsung will not meet the sales demand when the blue or gold one is released in certain countries.

my tmo store guy gave me one off a damaged phone getting set back, screen was damaged not cover but my point is it never hurts to ask guy or gal you bought phone from.

Original black and white back cover of Galaxy S5 are available at witrigs. They are cheaper than the carrier shop's.
They are made of special plastic but touch like leather. I look forward to color custom back cover.
Keep eyes on the witrigs.com.

The white cover does not give you the rubber feel, only the gold, blue and black.

They are made of the same material.
Why do you say that white one is difference?
I have touch all of them in store. They all give rubber feel.

Damn, def want the blue one but its a bit pricey for what it is
The white Note 3 back was the same way. Felt way different from the black. I've read that this is to make the white resistant to dirt and marks. I imagine it's the same reason for the S5.

So, I was about to buy a blue one (I have a white s5). I love the rubbery/leathery feel of the black one. Does anyone know if these blue covers have the rubbery/leathery feel? Can anyone comment on them please?

Sorry if this was already posted but I just wanted to share that the colored case mate tough cases are on sale from 29.99 to just 12.99.
As far as i can tell its actually the stupid id case on sale. good looking out though.

I forgot to mention, you have to select the colored ones to show the discounted price. By default, it shows the black and black for 29.99. If you select the other colors, it will show you the sale price of 12.99
Thank you! Just ordered two of them!
I've had my case mate case for about 3rd months and just recently bought another colored gel case. It has definitely protected my Nexus One in all its falls. Definitely worth the money.

Are they still on sale? I'm order one after work..I need to protect this phoen dropped and got a little scratch on the corner

Just ordered the Black and Red One.
Thanks for posting this!! I have been looking at this case for about a month or so but always considered $30 to be a little steep for it, but at $13 that seems like almost steal!

thanks to the OP, been wanting to get a good case for my n1 but the original price was a bit expensive. ordered the tough case and the card holder 2days ago and just received them now. the tough case is legitt! but the ID one is kinda .... lol but anyways thanks!
Dang, the colors are just so bright. I could have sworn they once had a grey. I may actually buy the blue and an extra black skin, it ends up only being $23, so still $7 cheaper than buying the black one itself.

Ive got a black one, these are great cases. Really do a bang up job of protecting the N1.
I got the green/black since they had no more red. Not currently using it since I like the otterbox better. But, it was only $13 so maybe it'll come in handy some day

Isnt it possible to change the cover itselfe to a white one? My girlfriend want the white cover instead of the grey thats on today!
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Help us find one
@pvillasuso: nope, not case or cover, the whole housing, like picture from tidy
i read that there is a white desire , so you can find the white cover ,,try ebay
I like white Desire as well, this is closed i got to...
What, how come Desire comes in only one color? :S
I have a white Desire, and believe me - you don't want one!
After having it in my pocket for a few hours, the bottom corners were grubby - and because it has the soft touch plastic feel, its impossible to clean.
I've got a Zagg protector and now have it in a silicone skin type case. If I was to buy another one, I'd either go for the silver one - or the UK Exclusive black one on the Orange network. Not a fan of brown.
Anyone know if you can buy a silver housing instead?

you also don't want a silver one, mine became brown within 1 month. don't use it in a black beltholder or sleeve. it wil become brownish/black instead of silver
I've got a white one and i like it. It looks pretty cool with a green hard case on aswell

i saw at my local htc shop the white desire.. it was a christmas exclusive only. you might be able to find the case parts, but people have said b4, it dirties easily.
Here: http://techielobang.com/blog/2010/11/30/htc-releasing-white-edition-htc-desire-for-christmas/
Where to buy one? Nex Serangoon HTC Concept Store (for those in S'pore)
Assuming you mean Singapore, its pretty safe to say the majority of us do not live there.
Unfortunately yes. Still hunting online for you guys though, but I'm not that lucky..

Yes, I have seen a desire being dismantled looked quite tricky, I have also swapped cases before on previous phones but I wouldn`t want to risk it on my desire. But then again a white desire looks amazing

where did you find the back case? I need one to replace my broken case.
http://cgi.ebay.com/Nillkin-brand-L..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item3cb99e760e
Anyone already have this case?
I found it on another Chinese website and decided to buy it on eBay (seemed a bit safer to me than entering my CC info on another website I don't even know).
Looks good to me, nice and slim...Ill post more once I get it
They also have it in red, black, etc. here:
http://www.obostore.com/nillkin-ultra-slim-hard-shield-faceplate-for-lg-optimus-2x-p-1293.html
Initial Impressions:
Got the red one today...Ordered the red one from OBOstore and a white one from ebay...
I'll start first with the quality of the case, a LOT higher than I expected....a little thicker than the incase slim on my iPhone Little flexing, Satin feel, feels excellent in the hand. Fitment is perfect, covers from edge to edge on the phone. If you have an invisibleshield on the back of the phone, that HAS to come off or the case doesn't fit correctly.
Top and bottom are completely open so little protection on the top or bottom, but the corners, sides, and back are completely covered (other than the camera of course) The case gives a little lip to the screen on the phone so you can set it face down and not worry about scratching it.
All in all, very pleased with my purchase and can't wait for my white one to come in
and of course...peektures!
I apologize for the quality, all I had was my mom's mytouch 4g

i like the seido but i heard it scratches the phone a bit on the corners
I've had the seidio case for like 3 weeks now, and still no scratches on my phone from it...I'm sorry that other guy or guys had that problem, but I don't.
I have a blue seidio surface case, a blue trident case, a white flexible gel case, and now I'm waiting on my red and white nillkin hard cases, lol.
The funny thing is...the only case I ever use is the seidio...not sure why I have all these other cases.
if you rip the case off I can see how it may scratch but if you take it off slowely its fine.
Has anyone gotten this case yet? I've had something similar to this from a company called Empire or something for my Nexus One and it was horsecrap. Fit was so loose I had to put double-sided tape on the inside to make it stay on.
Case looks VERY VERY nice. Please leave some feedback about how it fits. Very interested in this case. My speck is already falling to pieces. YUCK

i bought a black gloss battery cover from ebay but it looks TOO cheap lol. i also bought the black metal one but before i read about signal loss (havent gotten that one in the mail yet)
there arent many on ebay that i really like and i'm not completely sold on the stock one
i also bought a barely there case mate case but i dont use it because i just like the look and feel of a naked phone. so a case is not really an option.
you could get the wireless charging cover in white
so it would be zebra colour ?

For x reason my back cover battery was broken ( tiny little part at the top left) I ordered a new one from ebay. http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=331233943060
I just received today and the bad new is, it doesn't have the same soft touch as the OEM one. So I'm not really happy with it and it wasn't written in the description. I sent a PM to the seller already. Where could I find the OEM one?
