Hey there!
I'm looking for a rubber black case for my new coming Samsung Galaxy S battery (3000 mAH) which I bought from batteryupgrade.com
Anyone know where I can get a "good" rubber case for it?
None exists
Sent from my Apple Newton 2100 running at 206mhz
I thought about getting a cheap silicon case for the Galaxy S and then cutting out the back to allow the petruded part to go through the cutout.....
Well, that would work too, but I want to buy a product which is finished made, not something I want to modify to cut the silicon or something.
I thought those giant batteries pack like Mugen and the one from batteryupgrade is well known? strange no companies are making something to protect the them.
Not sure...found the rubber case on the Amzer...but for the extended battery...I'm not quite sure about that....

dont know if u got one yet, but looks like this one comes with the backing but not case, just use a Nav Man or Tom Tom or Garmin case!

135 $$$$$
It costs too much.
One 3000 A battery, plus the back cover, from honk king costs 15 $$$$
that is a bit
It doesn't seems to expensive, but i don't think the extended range makes up for the enlarged dimensions.
I just purchased an extended battery for my Nexus S 4G, this one specifically:
http://www.amazon.com/Seidio-Innocell-3500mAh-Extended-Battery/dp/B0053735IY
Now, I have no complaints with the battery, it's fantastic. However, the new back that it came with is very cheaply made, and I'm afraid it's going to break. I also don't really like the feel of the material.
Does anyone know of any cases that can fit a Nexus S 4G with an extended battery in it? I've been Googling around and have yet to find anything. I've pretty much just resigned to being careful with the back, but I figured I'd ask you all to see if anyone knows of something that will fit. I was using a silicone case before (tight fit, good to grip) but anything would pretty much be better than the back of this.
Thanks!
Did you have looked in Power-Skin?
I'd put the link but the system don't leave me... Because I have less than 10 post...
But one of my friend use it on a IPhone and he say its amazing...

You're probably not going to find any cases to accommodate the larger battery. Thats why I went a different route and got multiple 1500mah batteries. I keep one in my wallet just in case the one in my phone dies, I wind up with almost the same battery (3500mah extended vs 2 1500mah batteries) but get to use any case I want.
Wrong section
Sent from my Nexus S using xda app-developers app
Decided to go for the S5 after all, mainly due to camera results, battery and recent reviews on screen.
However the battery cover is disgusting in all colours, has anyone seen any replacements for this, was hoping there would be some Note 3 leather style clones but I cant find anything.
No links to full cases please, never use them.
Cheers
i woulnt change it, you would lose the water protection or have a worse protection with an non original cover.
Also i believe the stock covers have antennas wires to help the signal

yeah good point, cheers.
I agree it looks hideous in pictures, but I don't think it looks too bad in person (though the only color I've seen is the white).
My advice would be to get a case.
Hey Everyone!
So, I just bought one of this bumpers, there was not much info online on the fit, which had me on the fence, I pretty much narrowed down to Kewers Aluminium Case (Nicely detailed here ) and the Devilcase Aluminium bumper (Reviewed here but missing shots of the inside and fit of the case ). In the end I veered to the Devilcase, buying from Amazon, as the design seemed more clean to me.
I wanted to find pictures of a black Z1c with a black Devilcase bumper, nowhere to be found! Here is to fixing that.
First, I paid on a Tuesday, and the package came trough to my address at CA Friday the same week, despite USPS saying it would make it the next Wednesday, extra kudos on the shipping speed, with a hat tip to USPS.
Packaging was quite nice, no flimsy cardboard, first quality packaging and good presentation, see here:
The back of the packaging has a reference to "Z1 Compact Series is specifically designed for HTC Butterfly with high quality aluminium alloy.", so we know what file was duplicated to work on the packaging for this
Nagging asides, moving on to the actual case, I wont go trough the contents of the box, you can that see here: http://vimeo.com/92916925
One bright thing is that the box actually includes 2 replacement screws, I hope I dont need them never, but its nice to have 2 chances.
This is why the existing reviews didnt quite cut it for me, the "inside" of the bumper. The buttons are held with some plastic tape and while it looks somewhat shaky, taking into account its only supposed to hold the buttons while you install the bumper. Plus the metal buttons do not hit the buttons on the phone!
The inner side has small soft pieces of foam or some similar material, in several places, mainly where there is a beginning or end of section or a corner, this is one of the things I was looking for on online reviews! I dont want the bumper denting or damaging the phone just because.
Details on the fit of the inside, zoom in! pretty nice design and machining.
(No, I havent used the screen / back protectors that came with the bumper, yes I failed miserably installing that one, nope it doesn't bother me)
Details on the fitting:
Labeling, fair enough, not tacky as "Designed by spSOMEigen in California"
I Really liked the way the Devilcase bumper has a small indent to ease pulling the tabs on the flaps! plus this intent is perfectly centered to them, big kudos to the Industrial Design team.
The speaker looks even better with the case, plus it doesnt get muffled if you rest it on you while watching a video in bed or in a comfy couch, Kewers folks where worried about this and their design shows, the Devilcase gets it done somehow, looking much better IMO.
Plenty of room around the magnetic charger connector, I dont have a dock, so cant tell for the included plate, but seems the bumper has great clearance for allocating the connector.
Lots of space around the headphones connector, so huge plugs shouldnt be a problem, extremely flat connectors also cut it.
A great case, at $57 USD Shipped its definitively on the premium side, but I feel its worth it, you get 2 sets of screen / back protectors, 2 acohol cleaning pads and 2 stickers to peel off any gunk from your screen, 2 sets of back decals (faux carbon fiber and even fauxer leather), spare screws and a microfiber pad.
Heck you even get confirmation from them on their Plus page when your package ships and quick feedback.
Now... should I get the red one too? Looks amazing!
Update:
4 months in, and some drops later, the case is holding up greatly, as expected the material absorbed much / all of the damage, in some cases not even loosing its finish.
nice review bro :good:
thank you for the review, but i still find it a little expensive...can someone find it for a cheaper price?

Unless you bought directly in Taiwan (Or have friends there), it will be cheaper.
Hey, the power button is easy to push it to wake up ?

Another concern I had, surprisingly the button became easier to push than without it!
Have you had signal loss with this? Aluminum bumpers are infamous for causing signal degradation.
Of course they're not available now...

From what I read from their website the cutout on top of the phone (Beside the Headphone Jack) on 2nd last picture, "Compared to the Z1 devilcase had better signal reception because of the cutout. However all aluminium case will cause signal degradation and difference only how large is the degradation.
So far I've only seen one aluminium case from (Kickstarter) claimed their case with 0% (or close to 0%) signal loss.

I havent ran any scientific tests, but I do feel a slight degradation on wifi, cant tell on 3G/4G, there things have been normal.
As for the degradation, a part of my house that is particularly spotty for wifi became more unreliable, but to be fair it was already flaky to begin with.

I would suggest pinging them directly at their plus page (Referenced in OP), they might have a back order or something.
Since it's a metal case, do you think it would help in chock protection if you drop the phone? I kind of like slim plastic/ruberized cases that will absorb some shock if it lands on a corner for instance.

I think the case will just dent, plus there are some soft pads inside of the case, that might take some of the energy, not much as other hybrid cases with metal/plastic thou.
For what it is, the metal should do fine, I rather replace the 50 bucks bumper than having the metal frame dented in my phone
I had this bumper on my phone for a few weeks but took it off due to increased battery drain from the loss of signal. I never did any clear tests but as soon as I took the case off my battery life was normal again and my reception was better. I really wanted to like this case but I already have horrible signal here and this made phone unusable in my garage.
The DevilCase Z1c bumper is restock now.

Hey guys,
I've searched around here and amazon for a replacement battery door for my note 4 to no avail. I've seen a few metal ones, but what I'm really looking for is a material that is similar to the back of the Nexus 5--a kind of soft-touch/rubbery/smooth material that has some grip to it.
With the current battery door my note 4 slides all over the place in my car, where the Nexus 5 would stay exactly where I put it.
If anyone has any idea where I could find one of these I would appreciate it. It doesn't have to be white, but that would be best--I could live with black though.
Thanks,
xhawk29:good:

You might consider the Samsung protective cover. The back of it has a nice grippy texture, it adds very little bulk, makes the phone easier to hold, and protects pretty well too.
holycow, did you read my post or just the title?
bourne, thanks for the suggestion, but I really don't want a case, just a grippy battery door replacement. one may not exist...but I thought asking here would be worth a shot.
someone 3d print me one
Try one of those invisible shields on the back cover.. That'll give it grip.

It is a shame to cover that nice metal frame. I split the difference by using the case when I'm working or driving, keeping the phone safe and not sliding around, and take it off when out for the evening or around the house.
I did get a Ram Mount for the car, which keeps it in place nicely, although it is still better off in the case, it fits in the holder better.
You could try some velcro tape or something similar perhaps. Use the hook part somewhere convenient in the car and the loop part on the cover.
I doubt you'll find a custom cover any time soon.
