Do you know any place that is selling a back housing for the S4, that looks like the back of the note 3?
You asking a product that non existent. Most of those manufacturers even don't know how it feels and most of them no ideas like this. Maybe in future, it really look possible because the same camera & led positions on back of S4

I've been looking for back plate replacements lately as well. I specifically want a leather one.
I found this one on Amazon, but I want white: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...veASIN=B00CILRQO2&linkCode=shr&tag=guttcom-20
hmm alright, thanks!
There's one here, not real leather though.

Patiently waiting for some company to make an S4 version of the stitched Note3 back cover... :crying:
I've had this 'faux leather/chrome trim' case for a month; and it's a bit better than the black plastic version someone posted above (had that one too) - ebay search: "Silver Frame Black PU Leather Battery Door Back Cover Case For Galaxy S4 i9500"
yeah, this would be nice :good:

The note 3 has been out for a while now. Anyone seen any backs for the S4?
http://www.fonearena.com/blog/94893...-s4-mini-go-black-with-faux-leather-back.html
I don't really care if it looks identical to the official one, I just want a backplate with a better grip (without having to resort to cases.) So far I've only been able to find cheap Chinese/Taiwanese crap where the "leather" sticker starts to peel off in a week. I would've thought that Samsung releasing "faux-leather" back on Note 3 would be a kick in 3rd-party accessory market.

I have found a marketplace that sells them and have ordered one direct from S. Korea. Keep your eyes on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2646803&page=5
I self-appointed myself as the guinea pig in the purchase after I found a seller, so I'm asking that no one else order one until I can confirm that it is, indeed, the real deal. I estimate that I should have the back plate by, at the latest, mid next week due to EMS shipping and by it going through customs.

The site mentions $14.xx though, is this in Euro?
So on Ebay there are some new battery door replacements available to buy:
Click me
Anybody here already tried it out? If so, how is it?
Didn't try that one... Just received the carbon and crocodile one from here.
These are absolutely the best looking battery covers I've used. The fit and finish are awesome and they are not slippery like the original. Got them in a week after purchase from Hong Kong.

I own the carbon and the leather one.
While they are nice, I don't like the shiny bezel around the material.
And I hope to get even more grip.

It will match the black well I think
Be careful with some of these replacement battery doors if you plan on using them in a case (I know, seems redundant). I got a leather batery door from Ali Express and the plastic cover was thicker than the standard one and not b/c of the leather on it. It just wasn't sized properly so it doesn't fit in any of my 3 cases (Spigen Slim Armor View, Poetic case, random aluminum bumper).
Ooh I'm going to buy the black one. I currently use a stylish blue one with my red aluminum bumper but I think this would look better.
Keep us posted when you receive yours!
a healthy suggestion
have you gave any thought to searching up s4 cases through esty
handmade , exotic cases

i did maybe a week and a half or so ago, went with the traditional Burberry print, i liked it as the print pattern is very exact, my girl hated it, said everyone will know its fake! (no kidding???). The sides which are black started to splinter off, because the door doesn't flex enough when taking off the back cover which i do often changing batteries. I requested and received a refund and was also told i can keep the back. One other thing the back is not plush, it has more of a wallpaper feel to it and its slightly higher than oem back

well they both look like original to me. i paid 19.99 from the google play store for mine way back when they were available from google.
Bought the bumper from the same vendor for 10.99. The first month bumper scrubbed, and when I received it was packaged as new, but there were minor scratches.
Packaging was with the logo of LG ... I do not know if it is genuine or not, but the quality is beneath criticism.

I bought one from the first one. And it is not genuine. I received a full refund from the seller. My advice is dont pay that much for a imitation same cases are about 3 -4 $ on ebay...
i bought it from this guy $4.00 looks genuine, but it is white. the warranty paper says for Australia.

Saw this pop up and bought one. Had the same brand/model case for my Xperia Z Ultra and it was very nice and great quality. It was the case I ended up using until I sold the phone.
I think I paid around 20 for the xperia version on Amazon... This was a little more but I wanted a case to be here in time for when I get the phone Friday. Samsung is terrible with releasing accessories on time. Who knows when the wallet will be available in the US without waiting for long shipping times from Korea.

ya I got the light gray as well not a big fan of the color but really hated the cheap look and feel of the case mate that att had and despise with a passion the flip wallet. So far I really like the case and doesnt impede on the edge use, fingerprint scanner, or heart rate monitor on the back. I am taking my truck in for minor body work and was going to see if they could spray the case same color as my truck when they paint it.

Great find. I love holsters too
It just so happened that i still had a Note 2 Otterbox in my closet. You know how you buy a phone and buy the ridiculous over priced case and when the next big thing comes out you buy it and your stuck with that case? Well i have owned every note except for the one to include the Note 4 which my wife got when i got the edge today. I just trying out all my old holsters to see if one would fit and lucky me. I cant imagine that they are even that expensive if you can come accross one on ebay or what have you.

I miss my holster but you know what? I tried out My Seidio Surface Holster from my Note 3 last night and it fits the naked edge perfectly. It is not the spring clip holster model its is the SURFACE case holster model. You have to place the phone upside down because of the power button but it is secure. Seidio has the best cases out there. My note 3 when skidding across the parking lot 60 feet! Not a ding on the case or phone.
Is it possible to get a ccouple of pics? I had my wife snap a couple of mine and send them to me via text. I know some people may only have one phone.

Hello Guys,
Sale is back, kind of.
Its now $14..
still a great deal for this case, i received mine and i can say quality is top notch.
I usually bought spigen cases for my other phones but i must say Incipio did a great job with this one.
PS: will show regular price, once you add to cart it will drop to $14 + Free shipping
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So i was looking around for a case since i just got this phone. (LOVE IT so far by the way). Coming from a LG G4 im already having a great experience. (nothing wrong with the G4)
I think this is by far the best looking case for the X Pure edition from my findings and it so happens that i found it on sale.
Go to link below and add it to cart and it will drop to $14, then apply discount code: CHEERS25 and it drops to $11.80.
Thats a deal.

I got one of these, along with the Dual Pro, the last week of December or the first week of January, for the Style, even tho I have the Pure. At that time the cases for the Style were half the cost of those for the Pure. It looks like Incipio has noticed the oversight and both versions are now the same price.
That being said, I really like both cases. The fit, hope alignment and button operation is very good.
The Dual Pro is just the tiniest bit larger than the Octane, but it's not noticeable, until you put them side by side and even then, it may be an optical allusion. The Dual Pro has a matted back, which provides a bit more grip than the hard, frosted back of the Octane.
Both have comfortable and grippy sides .
So, if you're interested in a bit more protection and no added bulk, I recommend the Dual Pro.
