I am not able to find this anywhere, maybe one of you has an idea? And no, a factory is not an optiom since i don't need a thousand of these, just one or two.
Yeah, it's an old thread, but i can admit: it would be awesome if there was transparent back plate

It was known for a quite long time now. But Note 5 / S6 Edge+ have glass+metal construction which cannot be seperated (you can't access the battery) , while S5 has plastic construction, where you can take off the back cover to get access to battery, sd card or sim card.
In Note 5 / S6 Edge+ you had to heat up the back glass to loose the adhesive underneath, pull out the glass, then scratch off the color layer, and finally readhere the glass to phone.
In our S5 we can't do something like that, because we have a plastic cover which is not transparent. I would love to have ability to simply mod it like that, but it is not possible
Search eBay or look for someone who molds things on eBay or youtube
Maybe you could print the case with an 3D Printer ?
There are Companys which offer this even with transparent "print".

Any luck?

I want a couple too, any luck?
I bought the RIngke Fusion with clear back. It's a case, but it's tight enough that you can take out the back cover and use it as is.

Does anyone have one of these:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320715342088&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT
Is it really OEM? Are the materials the same? Aluminum and plastic? Does anyone have any pics they can share? Thanks!
That looks sick! I would definitely get one later on after I've accumulated more blemishes on my current back plate.
Looks nice. I may get a backup back instead of a case. It looks legit. May be bootleg though.
That looks great, but here's one that looks closer to oem and costs less.

man that black/silver back looks pretty nice...
I just noticed the black and silver doesn't have the antenna mount holes on it. I wonder how reception and death grip is working with that one.
I think the point of this was directed at people who is interested in switching away from the tricolor-ed back.
Edit:terrible English fix

The seller just responded my question about the item and I guess the black parts are really brown??...See below...
Dear cellapod,
Is this an accurate picture of the product? Are the colors black and silver?Is it really OEM, Meaning are the materials the same as the stock cover (aluminum and plastic)? Does it have all the right sensory parts underneath the cover?
"hi, this is photo of the item itis brown and grey original part"
Excellent
I like both back covers, but the silver one is more my taste. I will wait until they show up for a couple of bucks on Amazon.
Hopes crushed

Are there any metal like ones around? Something a little bit on the gentle side for signal. I would assume such things would be all over the place since so many want to tout / whine about the plastic back. However, I can't really find one that doesn't claim to be aluminum.

i think hes talking about a metal battery cover...
and i doubt that this will become a thing, btw. the reason it's removable is because it's plastic.

I linked metal battery door cover. From eBay description:

I'm a fan of using skins instead of cases. I usually order from SkinIt.com
However, they don't seem to have anything for the S4... YET.

I hate to say that I have christened my Sprint Galaxy S5 by dropping it WITHOUT a case. Almost 3 months without incident!! When it dropped the bottom right hand corner specifically the chrome band around the phone is dinged. My question is does anybody know if there is a way to replace JUST that band, and if it is possible where to get it? Pictures to follow later tonight!

Wholly moly! That looks the like pretty much the housing assembly correct? Do you know of a site that sells, and the difficulties of swapping?
I thanked you, but just want to say thank you as well!

I buy the parts direct from china, not too sure about any online site, i'm sure some does sell it, also updated with a tear down link.
Thanks again!
Here's the part you'll need:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/351070105491
I work for a repair shop and we get parts from these guys, so I can without a doubt vouch for the quality, price, and shipping time.
As for replacing it.... Good luck, you'll need it. The only way into the S5 is behind the screen which must be removed to open it up. It's glued down with superSam****adhesive so more likely than not you'll end up breaking the display or separating the display from the glass. If your screen is fine, it's not worth the cost of replacing your entire display just to replace the midframe.
Just in case, here's a display w/ the home button flex: http://www.ebay.com/itm/351067874432
also need to buy the panel sticker adhesive and the display rim adhesive.
I got all these stuff apart from the panel adhesive, but traded my S5 yesterday for a Tab S 8.4.:fingers-crossed:
Thanks guys for your help! After looking at everything needed to be done I think you guys are right, I will just live with the nicks I have, and since they are a bit sharp, i'll use a dremel on low speed to grind down a little. Like I said thanks again for the eye opener!!!! LoL:cyclops::cyclops::cyclops:
I've given the phone to my Niece to take some photo and video. When she gave me the phone back, I found it cracked at the back. Not sure how it was cracked. I might be due to excessive heat dissipated while the screen stays on for few minutes. What do you think about it? How I can repair it?

Isn't that tempered glass over your Z3?
You will need this part:
http://www.witrigs.com/custom-back-cover-for-sony-xperia-z3-green
I just replaced the front and back of mine as it cracked on my wife accidentally doing something with the kids.
You will need to transfer your stock NFC sticker/chip to the new cover before installation. This company ships quick and is very reliable. If you do not have the suction cup and guitar pics I recommend it, you will need it for installation. As well as a heat gun or hair dryer.
You can see a how to video towards the bottom of the page I linked.
Good luck.

No, there was no tempered glass in the back. Tempered glass protector is in the front side.

That one says Sony on the back so whichever you prefer.
Finally came the carbon (aramid) fiber case for the xiaomi 12. This looks to be made by the same manufacturer as the Oneplus one's.
Build quality and fit are top notch, same as my old OP 6 case.
Don't know if links are allowed, but bought it at aliexpress.

Nice case indeed. Looks like a little bit more special than my standard black cases. What did you pay for it?
I’m curious if it block the access of SIM card?

I paid 23€ for it delivered. Yeah they were normal black ones, but having had the same in the OP6 I wanted a little change hahahaha. Both look awesome imo.

Yeah, unfortunatelly. But being a dual sim, I don't find myself changing the sim cards regularly.
Thankfully it's pretty easy to remove and clip on. Also it protects the full body, unlike the OP ones, so that's a big plus for me. All the holes cut to perfection
Another big plus it's that it wont interfere with any screen protector, as it clips just to the frame. Now I'm looking for a good screen protector that covers all the glass. If anybody knows one, please let me know, I'll be very grateful.
I also ordered the cover, I'm still waiting. Please, is it magnetic? THX
Thanks for the hint.
Loved that case style also on my OP 6T.
Ordered one from aliexpress.

It's pure aramid fiber, so not likely.
