Draco just released their HYDRA case for the S4. A non-Ducati branded case will be released next week as well. They look great, but it looks like they add quite a lot of width to the phone.
I ordered the new ElementCase Eclipse case, and if I don't end up liking that I'm going to order one of the Draco cases and give it a shot.

OEM means original equipment manufacturer, the complete opposite of fake. And yes, the fakes are out. But they're also usually really bad quality compared to the real ones.

Do you have a link for that? Thanks

Wow! Nice bumper with nice price!!! If I have a honda hornet, and is not ducati, I have to look for another bumper? Hahaha

New Airborne cases were released today. I like them much better than the HYDRA ones. And they're a bit cheaper too.
http://www.dracodesigninc.com/SearchResults.asp?Cat=1870

The Hydra cases are beautiful. However, that's a steep price to pay for a case, luxury item or not.

these case are very stunning looking. i just can't see spending that much on a case. there are far to many less expensive alternatives out there.
:good:

Is there a lip on either side? It looks flush is most pics. I was just wondering about lying it down and scratching up the camera cover or the front glass.

Their cases have almost no lay on table rim. They work nicely with glass screen protectors though.

So it makes your phone huge? uhh no thanks

dam almost 100 bucks just for a stinking case? I don't see myself ever shelling more than 50 bucks for a case

Lol so you're essentially paying $100 to not protect your phone?

I was excited for the case at first, but I watched Youtube review videos and I realized how ugly and huge it is...

I wonder if this case would this interfere with wireless charging or NFC

My understanding is that this is a bumper so the back is completely exposed (allowing wireless charging and NFC to work completely).

"bumper"... right. D-ohh

Yes, They're nice to look at. But it makes the phone wider, bigger at minimal protection

Replacement Back Cover

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.

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?

S5 oem back cover battery

Hi guys,
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?
Thanks

Taobao is Chinese and when I searched the English one there are no cases at all for the note 4

I have THIS leather/suede case and I like it a lot. The only thing I am not sure on is if I get a phone call. Might be a pain to talk on unless I use speaker phone. I bought the tan one in the picture....it fees great and not slippery or cheap. The magnet seems to hole the case close well too

Cant seem to find any leather BACK case that cover all corners.
1. Volume buttons, power button.
2. Cutout for the hole , headphone jack, charging...
And is one color for all. Usually black at the edge and back color is what i found online.

this is leather case i use. it replaces the battery cover , adds very little bulk

OEM Back Cover Housing

Anyone know of a good place to find an OEM back housing preferably black (carbon) from?
I've checked eBay ones that ship from china, but not sure if they are legit.
Any ideas? thanks

The eBay ones probably aftermarket but what does it matter if you have a case unless you go commando even a clear case wouldn't notice I think they would work out fine.

Aliexpress has a buyer protection too dont worry. Ebay isnt any better.

I got mine from aliexpress. Its perfect and cheaper, but looking at the two cases, the black bit of tape up by the cam did not come with the new back.
I assume I will have to peel that off and put it back but does anyone know what its for? Looks like it might be power to the flash .
Thanks

Heat until you can't leave your finger on glass for more than 1 second. Insert precision razor blade and create enough of a gap to insert a playing card. An ordinary razor blade will be too thick. Using strips of cut up soda can is useful to cut through the glue also.
