So I know some people out there at first hated the port cover. As being one of them, I initially removed it. Then after seeing countless threads about how you can't do the trade in without it or that you will be charged for it. I looked into replacement parts. At this point it was to early, so I left it alone. Now after some time I looked back into it.

Now I know it doesn't sound like a big deal, but this is for the people who did remove it.
Have a good one
Looks like the shipping costs have been fixed.
I highly recommend witrigs for OEM parts.

Thanks for the post! Ordered my replacement covers today.
I got 5 locally from china, cost me about USD 0.80 each, if I got just one it would cost me USD 1.20.

This sounds much reasonable price!
Interesting I followed my original link and it was $2.67. Then again I live in NY. Also the shipping was free.

I was excited to see that Blue battery cover but lost all excitement when I see a big cheesy "4G" logo on it why can't anyone sell a more accurate knock off or at least the legit OEM ones!

Honestly just buy a few of these for a few bucks a piece. Remove the battery cover and you can replace it taking out 1 screw by the battery slot.
No one will ever be able to tell as long as the door is an OEM part and you don't strip/mangle the screw or something crazy as warranty still intact.

Hey guys,
Where can I buy a black back battery cover? International shipping is a must

Replacement Housing ?
http://shop.brando.com/htc-desire-replacement-housing_p04686c0587d004.html
Well, that's an option but it's rather expensive. I only need the back cover.
HTC sell 'em, at least in the UK. There is a couple of weeks wait but it's worth a look.

what about getting a dummy phone from ebay, I think you can pick them up for around £5.
Not sure however if they are complete replica's of the outer housing so its a gamble

you have to be joking, dummy phones dont come to bits they are a fixed piece of plastic but the £15.99 back cover from HTC does look good but extremely expensive.
I just ordered a battery cover from htcaccessorystore.com. Will let you know if it's any good.
is it good....i need to buy one for me too....Want to do some modificatiosna on back cover and want another one for just in case something goes wrong
Go for it! I can confirm that it is a good purchase
damn that's 30euro just for the back cover

Well if it's not, Amazon is allowing a significant ammount of false advertising!!
FYI,
just did some research on this seller and found out that the same seller was selling fake griffin iphone cases. And I'd say this s view cover is also fake.
No harm taking chances though, as amazon has great buyer protection.
Cheers.

You are correct about the complaints regarding the Griffin, however, there are as many postings that indicate the case is original and one alleging to be by persons who worked for Griffin, and apparently believe they are real. WHO KNOWS, and what in the world is Amazon still selling them as advertised when supposedly fake cases are being supplied.??
Someone just posted a video in this section which shows his "OEM" cover puts the phone in S-View mode when the cover is folded back against the phone. Also, his cover has "Samsung" printed on the front top. Neither mine nor the pictures on Amazon have this. Pretty sure the $9.00 are knock-offs (with a magnet problem).
Rich
Eh, I ordered two of them, one to keep brand new for resale with the device in a year and the other to swap between it with the aftermarket wireless receiver in it and the upcoming OEM wireless charging cover.... if it sucks, I'll take it up with Amazon, but I've always wanted one just not the price tag associated with it! I only paid a couple $20's more than the MSRP of the S View cover for the phone itself!
I'll gladly report back with my findings - I'll even bring it in to the local BBY and fit both to compare
EDIT - just received the cases, and they are, in fact, FAKE AS FUUUUUUUUUUU
If you look at amazon now, the s-view case and the flip case are under $10 plus free shipping. And they are Samsung OEM. Shows original price as $59.95.

10 bucks for oem when retail is 59.99, even if it cost 10 bucks to make there is no way the wholesale of that is gonna be that cheap that is unless the guy is in the business of losing money lmao.
either way I'm curious to see what they look like when they come in haha.

They will look just like the $59 ones because they are being sold by Samsung... Manufacturer is Samsung.. They are the same thing.
That's like saying the s4 sold on the same site by Samsung is somehow a cheap knockoff. Do an amazon search of galaxy s4 s-view.

wellllllllllllll....... let me correct some things you just said - this is NOT being sold by Samsung, it's being sold by "TopEDepot," whoever the F that is, it's a vendor on Amazon, read: NOT Samsung. The seller is claiming it is made by Samsung, but we'll all soon find out how true that is, I guess!
EDIT - just received the cases, and they are, in fact, FAKE AS FUUUUUUUUUUU
No OEM Samsung product ever says "Galaxy S IV" on it, not to mention how poorly made the back cover is and the SAMSUNG logo on the back looks like a crappy screen print on the junk cover.... Starting a claim with Amazon to get my money back, oh well, it was worth a shot! I'm loving my S Charging wireless charging battery cover anyways, so it's no big deal, most likely wasn't going to use the S View cover much if at all!
Just bought from ebay and when I turn it, the s4 feels that is on frontal and lock the screen
Phone or cover issue?
It looks like the magnet is too powerful or in the wrong place. I've seen the supposed OEM S-View covers now showing up on Amazon for $9.00. If you don't mind me asking, how much did your cover cost?
Bought 10 for 40$

You have answered your own question
10 for $40.00? $4.00 each?? (confused)
I just noticed that your video shows that the word Samsung is printed on the front of the cover. FWIW, mine does not have that.
Mine was $32.22 with free shipping from Amazon. Seller was Amazon, LLC.
Rich
Yes, 4$ for just one.
they are most likely fake, i just picked one up yesterday at best buy and it does not have that problem and also i doesnt say samsung on the front of the cover
If I bought one for $4, then No complaint, cuz I know it's gotta be a fake, but you have 10 of them and $40 spent.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk 2
Def a fake.
The real one doesn't have the Samsung there.
The magnet in it, is too strong, nothing wrong with the phone. Buy genuine and you won't have this issue.
Had to go through warranty with AT&T for a new device already and they sent me a black GS4 instead of a white. After multiple calls and them sending me a Samsung Exhilerate ny mistake, we finally came to a conclusion. They credited me $130 and I would buy a black battery cover to match.
So, anyone know where I can find a Sprint OEM battery cover? Prefer that because it doesnt have a carrier label but also says Galaxy S4.
If not, anyone know where I can pick up an OEM I9505 battery cover?

Thanks for pointing this one out.
I am a bit suspicious of the ebay seller you listed because of the price. The retail is $25 and they are selling it for $9? That's too good a deal. Will be very interested to see what you get. If it's good maybe I'll pickup one, just don't tell my wife... I only have 5 cases, need an even half dozen.

"We are an authorized reseller of genuine Pinlo accessories. For verification, contact pinlo.com. "
if its fake, we can file a complain?
cuz he is selling at $10 whereas the original is $25.

I did the same thing. I'm hoping mine gets delivered by next week. I don't think I've been this excited about a case in awhile.
*edit*
Forgot to mention my only concern is that not all TPU button covers work good. I've had some cheap TPU cases where the buttons were so horrible the case was not usable.
If i had to guess, the buttons on this case look plastic like the ones on the SGP Neo Hybrid. If you watch the Youtube video you can see the inside of the buttons. Usually the problem with plastic buttons is over-responsiveness if anything.
