I really like the look of the international galaxy s battery door but have also heard good things about the rubberized battery door. I was wondering if anyone uses either back covers if they could post how they like them so far and some pros and cons since im trying to decide which to buy

From this I'm assuming the Vibrant back cover and i9000 covers are interchangable?

yep. the vibrant and i9000actually share the same accessories as well. except theres slight differences in screen protectors because of the front facing camera, but nothing to major. if you're on eBay, youll find a lot more accessories if you search for "i9000"stuff instead of "vibrant "

it grew on me..it does get dirty on the edges,and dust was in the paint job,but at least i got a refund and get to keep the battery door..so no complaints anymore =)
Pick the Samsung OEM door. These rubberized ones don't snap on as well and stick out on the sides ever so slightly. When I take off my mesh case it gets stuck and tries to take the battery door off completely, and that might result in the loss of power from the battery dropping.
any back covers with kick stands built in

Does the cover come with the X1-logo sticker?
anyone here changed housing by themselves? mine is cracked/scratched to bits. i wanna change it
I have done it. It is definitely doable but you have to be very comfortable in working with tiny components. If you wanted to only change the back it would be pretty easy, but if you do the front it gets harder.
I did the whole thing. Mine looks and feels brand new now and its great.
I guess also if you wanted to change the color of your xperia you could safely order the other color housing. Just a thought
where do i read the tutorial? because my xperia is ugly and and i want to change its color
Are there any custom back cases for this phone? I'd kill for a white or black one with sick designs on it. The black and purple ones that come with the phone are kinda bland imo.

Yeah, yeah.. it's a start.. has a "battery" case design on it. I didn't look too close at it. I'm sure they'll start to come around sooner or later, haven't found anything about it but the cases with the custom designs on the back are the closest things to it. Not exactly what you're looking for but its a start.

most likely.. I prefer the gel case because it makes the buttons easier to press. I remembered when I first got the phone it almost slipped out of my hand when i was going for the power button because it wasn't anything i was familiar with. I started to live with it.
Hell, you could probably be the first to start making custom battery covers and become rich doing it

If i knew how i would but i dont think a huge die will fit in my house not to mention all the raw materials.
Yeah I'm talking about the battery covers. I would love a glossy white one with galaxy s text on it, or a shiny black with a metal finish to it.
Also where can I get some good belt cases for this phone at? I went to a T-Mobile store and was surprised that they don't have many accessories for this phone.

Try the white paint you just have to get two-three different types of sandpapers and then a white spraypaint/clear glossy . It is not as shinny as the OEM ones we have (where you can see your face in it) you just have to remember to lightly sand the device after the last paint application to keep a smooth non paint surface.
Now that you mention it... I just remembered, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=755173&highlight=Carbon this thread theres one of the choices you have available as well. There's a I9000 backcover available in the accessories forum too
If the white cf could hold a longhorn orange decal/paint I'd hop on it in a second.

Actually the body of the Vibrant and the i9000 is the same, so it wouldn't matter.
If it was slimmer like the "pebble" some phones have, than I would definitely consider it. But I'd prefer a small cord you can easily move to the side, rather than the mat. Plus, if your texting while charging and you prefer to actually hold your phone while texting, there would be a lot of "plugging/unplugging" so to speak. (Not literally plugging in, but you know what I mean. Lol).
it looks interesting i would buy it but i would have to see what people have to say first seems kinda iffy
____________________________________________
They had this at walmart. Fits vibrant and galaxy s 4g. Was considering it but it adds some thickness to the phone so decided not to. Only $40 tho

I'm using one that's nearly identical --

I like it! Simple, doesn't add much bulk. Only issue with it is the volume rocker is covered up by a harder rubber material, so there is no longer any tactile feedback with presses.

The pieces adhere directly to the phone with a 3M film. I only applied the back piece and not the sides, etc. Really doesn't provide much protection, I simply liked using wood and the aesthetics.

Sigh.
I got mine today. I slightly misaligned the back plate on mine, and did not even push down on it. I tried to readjust it with no luck. I then heated it up with a blow dryer to fully remove it - I pulled a bit of the corner up and I immediately saw that this was not gonna be possible. There was going to be a TON of residue left on the back of my phone if I tried to fully take it off.
I'm extremely disappointed. Not at the product, but at myself and also how much of a hassle it is to remove it.
-The skin does look great if applied on correctly.
-Not sure if it's worth the $30 or not yet.
-The removal process is much harder than the site/packaging says it is.
