Anyone found any replacement backplates for the Galaxy S yet?
Looking for one that isn't coated in Teflon like the stock backplate. Don't really want to put it in a silicon case, I would rather cover it in skateboard grip tape, I hate silicon cases that much.
Thanks in advance.
check ebay for the zenus cases
just type in "zenus cases" to pull them up -for some reason using "samsung galaxy" doesnt
Cheers mate, looking for a direct replacement of the battery cover/backplate, but glad to know the Zenus cases are on eBay.
sorry - brain hiccup - thought i'd posted that in another thread
getting old ain't for pansies
ten chars!!!
Yeah I want one that isn't quite so slippy in your hand, ordered a Zenus case, but there will be times when I want to use it out of that, and at the moment it's really easy to drop.
Brando often sells replacement housings, I'm sure it won't be long till they do the same for the sgs.

hmm a replacement backplate would be nice
im thinking in the line of higher capacity battery with slighly thicker backplate to accomodate the thicker battery and get rid of the bump on the bottom part at the back
a thicker backplate will also recess the camera lens protecting it from scratches
i also find that the very thin profile of the galaxy s makes it difficult to hold sometimes. a thicker backplate will also make it easier to handle
if only

I want one of these for the SGS...

Yeah it's cool how many cases you can already get for the latest iphone while for the SGS there still isn't a single decent case available in the US or Europe The Korean stuff that's a ***** to order and takes 2 weeks to get anywhere doesn't count.
I don't like Apple but sometimes they seem to be the only ones that just get really simple **** like 'hey maybe they want a case for that $600 smartphone so let's make some!' Or 'OK, we just designed our best phone ever, let's spend an extra dollar and not put a flimsy piece of plastic on the back.'
It's just so simple.

second that!
3000mAh with a 3mm+ cover will be perfect!
This could be a money spinner for Samsung .You want a white SGS, just buy a white back cover.Or you want a grippier phone, buy a rubberised cover.
Would be kinda cool to be able to change the look/feel without having to resort to silicon covers.
A rubberized back would be a dream. I want one now

This is an excellent idea.
Samsung has already sold more than 1M Galaxy S phones and continues to sell well.
This means that decent accessories should not be that far behind.
I'd buy the hell out of an aluminum replacement backplate for by Vibrant. 'Twould be quite sexy.
Guys, check this out. . .

This maybe our hope
I'm looking forward to try some cool ones on.
although with the Gel case in place, you wont even notice it's there until you take the gel case off the phone

Haha, looks terrible
Yeah looks like the normal one covered in tipp-ex!
But its not the original one, because there is a round circle which has not the same height like the cover (same position where the google logo is, you see it in the first ~10secs).
Samsung offered alternative cases: http://www.samsung.com/us/consumer/...l&subsubtype=cases-holsters&tab=accCompatible
But now, the cases just fit for "captivate" only. Dont find any cases for the standard galaxy anymore
I want a case which give more holdness... But i dont want a cover, because i like the thinness atm
Right now I have a Otterbox Commuter Series for my Desire its a good slim case for protection but sometimes I wanna switch yo something a little more stylish. Does anyone have any suggestions? If so leave a link to where I can find the case.
HTC Desire
This is what i use in conjunction with a martin fields screen protector.
http://www.gelaskins.com/store/skins/phones/HTC_Desire/Hulk_SMASH
Works brilliantly and stops the phone from being a black brick
I use a case that simply covers the back, edges and corners. It's hard to describe and I can't post an outside link to show, but it basically hugs the edges and corners of the phone, so that it only covers the sides and back.
Mine's crystal clear (I have a decal on my battery cover that I like to be able to see), and these protect the edges and corners without being too bulky. My clear one also provides protection for the decal.
Go custom - get a Casemate slim case and add some stickers / decals to it. I got a few Android stickers from ebay and added them to a Casemate.

Totally agree. This case saved my desire 3 times already (hopefully it didnt fall on the screen side, thanks to the weight difference of the upper part of the phone ).
I've had my desire for over a year now. When I first bought it, I searched ebay for a gel case and some screen protectors. The Gel case only covers the sides and back. The protectors were stuck on and did their job until they were too scratched. Then they inhibit the touch screen function - I noticed this when the screen protectors were so badly scratched it was becomming difficult to see the screen. Since I'm too cheap to buy another £2 batch lot of protectors I've left it off for about 3 months now. There is not a single scratch on the screen.
Also the gel case has provided a very good protection for the rest of the phone. The gel case was shipped from Hong Kong and cost around £5 including shipping. A colleague even found one cheaper. I don't know how they make stuff so cheap over there but the phone is as good as the day it came out of the box.
Just ordered a custom skin from Skinit. It won't offer the amount of protection as my Otterbox but it will stop it from scratching up and add some customization to my device.

I had a flip leather case but it was a bit inconvenient having to open the cover all the time even though it protected the screen so I got different one similar to the ones people use a lot on iPhones, it covers the back and sides but leaves the screen free. I got them on eBay cos it's cheap and there are LOADS to choose from!
i got the PDair leather case, 18.99 on ebay, works great.
I use the htc mobile case:

I was hoping to get a leather case with my phone. Reason why I thought I would is because when I get the touch diamond a few years ago, that came with a case. Shame really

I second this. Nokia issued pouches with E66 too. Especially since I don't consider price of this plus shipping costs dirt cheap either.
i used a black back cover meshed bought on netimes.com. On this site I bought also an android neoprene pouch
I have been use the Casemate barely there - which is a great case. But it doesnt protect the top of the phone along where the power button is.
I tend to stick my phone in my pocket and I think my keys over time have scraped the top a bit, with tiny nicks out of phone.
But it has saved my phone a couple of times when I dropped it!
I'm also using Casemate Barely There, real happy with it. A friend of mine has the Casemate Tough Case, it's a bit thicker but does offer a bit more protection.

I would recommend Melkco HTC Desire leather case from Amazon. It's stylish designed and protects well of the entire phone with genuine cowhide leather flip cover as well as the hard leather back cover without blocking the ports, camera. I bought one from them and am very satisfied with the quality and the look.

I bought a Jaka Melko too... so SOPHISTICATED (all hand made)! And very protective. I drop from waist height last week, no scratch at all, phone and leather.
Plus, I have a hard gel case, and the Melkco is exactly the same size, no bulk.
Maybe a little bit expensive (28~30 USD free shipping), but worth all pennies, and it really smells leather when opening box.
OK now we have our phone (ok not quite yet) how are we going to protect it.
Soft case hard case belt case, please list your ideas and web links so we can discuss
Going for the official kick stand, offers both mobile protection (case) and desk demonstration capabilities (3D photo frame)

The mutlimedia dock is gone from that store, maybe it will show up later, looked nice too.
Original accessories FTW!!!
Sadly i have seen no signs of Otterbox getting ready for the Optimus3D.
But Case-Mate has their line-up of different quality cases in preparation:
http://www.case-mate.eu.com/smartphone-cases/lg-cases/lg-optimus-3d-cases.html
I think i'm going with a barely-there. Haven´t decided yet.
So a quick question has anyone bought either of these two cases and whats the view on size and weight and look please

http://www.clove.co.uk/case-mate-pop-case-blackgrey-lg-optimus-3d
I must admit I like the look of the casemate but would love some input from someone who has it
It looks like the official kick stand case is good. I ordered one together with my phone. Now waiting for them to show up
I bought the Case-Mate Barely-There.
Very pleased so far, survived its first drop on one of the corners.
I purchased a pouch style case from this website and it was way too small for the phone from G5 Online.
Anyone know where I can get a case this style which will fit the phone well?
I recently bought this case and it is really awesome..looks so cool.
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/BLACK-S-...AU_MobilePhoneAccessories&hash=item2a10ef1c9a
Damn,i see it has now dropped $2 since i bought mine.
Personally I am going to wait and see if an extended battery turns up with a replacement back panel. No point in getting a case if one does turn up and prevents it fitting in it.
The way the camera section is raised above everything else should give room for a larger battery without making it too much thicker. I love the styling of the O3D, but I would have preferred to lose the raised section in favour of a bigger battery.
seriously don't get the original kick stand case from lg it's a piece of crap. In fact it gave my lgo3d few scratches and it just looks cheap and terrible. The kickstand does not open probably and I had to
pull like a ox to open the kick stand that i was afraid i break it. I gave up and just returned that piece of crap. it was made completely from cheap plastic and the kickstand had a terrible silvery finish like supposed to look like metal or something. Design fault as well. how am I supposed to charge and put on the kickstand? Will use as pouch with self cleaning innards for the screen

I have the original kick stand case from LG too. Very disappointed in it. How come they made that in cheap plastic and so slippery. It feels like the phone gonna drop at anytime. I'll waiting for the korean cases arrive to see if those are better. They look promissing to me.
My case mate pop with built in stand has just arrived, cleaned and fitted.
I must say very nice too not much weight to it but fits like a love the back is solid and the sides rubber.
Both me and the missus have this phone. We have tried several covers each but we just got the "wave" style cases of eBay. These are a very good fit and have a really nice "no slip" feel in the hand. They are less than £3 including postage in the UK.

Same cover more or less from Hong Kong with free international shipping
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220816328023&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
For me delivery took just over 2 week (Hong Kong to Sweden)
Have it and it works great, fit is a 100% functional 98-99% aesthetic, a 1-2mm shift on the speaker and Camera lens opening but doesn't cover anything and doesn't interfere with them at all.
Easy to slip on and off and gives a nice grip
I have a Redpoint Slide, bought it in the local shoping mall for about 11€. They got it for the same price in their eshop, you can select varous sizes. Mine perfectly fits the Optimus 3D

How "soft" is this case? I bought this case http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005ALNACO and it is too soft: i.e. it comes off when putting it in my pocket, the sides pull away too easily. I want a case that fits very snugly and doesnt "peel" away too easily. I dont want something that slips on and off too easily.
So how does yours feel in regards to that?
I got the case mate barely there .. and I finf its coolbut its expensive though..

I had that for the LG G3. I really liked it.
I always use bumper cases because it does not press on the back cover when I put Qi receivers, and also allow heat to escape from the back.
Is there anyone in here who used this Nillkin bumper case? Please tell us how it is...
I can't find it yet available in US, but it's all over ebay and amazon but coming from china...
I've got one on my phone right now, the grey one to be exact.
its nor what i'd call excessively bulky, but some people might complain over that, the screen is protected with the regular bump on the front part, its quite grippy as the back side remains accessible, the feel of the case is amazing, cutouts are perfect, materials are good, uses bumpy tpu-ish gel-ish plastic on the back and front size for the shock apsorbing, sides are made from strong plastic aswell. Buttons are easily accessible, very easy to press, but doesnt press when putting the phone in the pockets, didnt scratch the phone sides (yet) and its easy to remove even tho its a quite tight fit case.
the little backside rubber part make the phone stable on a flat surface, makes it stick a bit from the ground so the camera is protected. If you drop your phone directly on the back part on a non flat ground your camera will prolly be shattered.
Its my everyday case, would for sure recommend it (got it for about 8$ from ebay)
lemme know if you have any more questions :>

Its very tight, it wont loosen as the side plastic holds it at place, its an unibody case tho, so the rubber wont separate from the plastic bit. But its quite good, disallows the specs of dust and sand to get in between the case and the metal bezels of the phone, overall i'm very satisfied with it on that area.
The grip is great, buttons work very well and it lets heat escape.
I own two spigen, uag and many cheap ones.
I prefer this one any day.
I bought the gray first. Loved it except the front part is gray.. I thought it was black like all the others with the colors on the back.
Anyway, a few weeks ago I bought the orange and I absolutely love it.
I like it so much. That I already bought the other two colors, red and blue.. ?

Hi Guys,
Just want to post a review regarding a Full Protective Casing for our beloved Note 4. I got this casing through some seller. Not phone shops. Since I'm from Singapore, these kind of rugged and full protective cases are not available unless by ordering them through official website or Amazon.
Was surprised that there was a seller who's selling this here. Since it's a case that I've been aiming for, I decided to grab it rightaway.
The case itself is divided into 2 parts. The rubber and the hard plastic holding the screen protector. Putting it all together was quite snappy. I can say it's not too bulky or too small. Just nice.
Opening it up, it's nicely pack into a compact box. Also there'a a plastic covering the front and inside of the screen protector. No defects. I don't use the holster since it will be troublesome for me. Moving on.
Here is the link to the official site:
http://www.supcase.com/samsung-galaxy-note-4-unicorn-beetle-pro-protective-case.html
Here comes the review!!
The Pro's:
All ports covered. Including the S-Pen.
Only protector for screen. None on LED, Sensor, Front Speaker, Front Camera and Back Camera.
It's quite light if without holster.
Smooth and easy if kept in pocket. Not gonna be stuck like some cases if u try to keep and remove in n out from your pocket.
Volume, Power Button casing design is align well.
The Con's:
Fingerprint Scanning will be abit difficult as the case actually interfere with the button.
The port covers will be out of shape if continuously opened up.
Due to the smoothness of the case, it might just slip from your hands.
That are the ones that I noticed for now.
I attached 2 pics, front and back. Sorry for the lack of details and pics as I'm currently at work. LOL! Hope my review help for those who are looking to buy this case.

I have a skinomi carbon fiber skin along the sides of my N4 and this case tore apart the skin on the side that I used to snap into the top piece of this case; as such, I believe it would be safe to assume that this case could scratch your phones metal edges. This case (for myself at least) was an extremely tight fit. As I have said in my supcase thread, this case is a really tight fit - if not too small.
I cannot say if the case will work with wireless charging, but I can assure you that your otterbox is much, much better than this supcase.
Super-thanks @JippleStar
I had installed Skinomi's Techskin last night on my Note 4 and the Otterbox Defender Series case did not accept my phone; was too resistant, and so I thought that I should stick with the Commuter for now without the Wireless Back Cover. I'll keep the Defender for back up and / or when I'm outdoors.

NP :good: I was very disappointed with this case and would never want anyone to go through that whole buy and return process, ya know? :silly:
I've never had so much trouble finding a case - or any other accessory though. I guess that's one of the downsides of having an extra large phone :laugh: & yeah, I would definitely keep the defender for days when you need that water-proof protection :good:
Microscratches on the Note 4's metal chamfered edges are unavoidable, even when applying the Otterbox cases, sad, but true. However, the way these phones were packaged, every Note 4 sold as new in its sealed box, has one or two scratches somewhere; I know this especially after unboxing close to a dozen Note 4's. First gapgate, then this. Lol.
Have to find a case once and for all, other-wise, we are only making our devices more susceptible.
Any solution for metal chamfered edges? I e-mailed Skinomi regarding this, and this was their response
"Hello,
Thank you for your email, and for your feedback. Unfortunately the item has been designed off the actual device here at the facility for the best results. However I will be more than glad to send your feedback to our design team.
Have a great day!

I second that. Lol! I'm just too tired to think about the metal edges of this beast. It's bound to be scratch sooner or later. Do not care about it that much. Care about the other surroundings instead.
I'm already thinking about the Note 5. Will be the first in line when that comes out.

Well it happens to every rugged case. Especially if u have keys or coins in ur bag or pocket that u put your phone with. Same goes if u do not have a casing or cover for your phone. There will be scratches too.

I too have the same Unicorn Beetle case- cheap alternative for Overpriced Defender ( otterbox )..but fingerprint scanning is difficult due to front of case jutting out, so your finger doesnt get a flat
area to run across. Holster is decent- but somewhat stiff. but for 20.00... 1/3 the price, I'm happy. Phone is protected.. until a better option comes around...with a holster.

I learnt a trick. U redo ur fingerprint scanning with the case on. U can do in any position and ways as long u do slow and steady. U'll find that it works better with the casing on rather than naked. For my N4, i just have to scan the top of my thumb and otz unlocked. Give a try. Just scan follow the flow of the casing design. From top till the casing.
