which battery door to pick

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.

[Official] Htc One X accessories

here you can have a look at the upcoming official htc one x accessories. thought it was a good idea to put them in a seperate thread
http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_phone.aspx?i=229814
heres some detailed info on some of the neat things http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/blog/2012/02/htc-one-x-accessories-available-first-from-mobile-fun/ but the one that catches my eye is the HTC One X Speaker Dock CR S650 can just keep my fingers crossed that someone releases a case which extends the pogo pins.
strange is that when i search for more images info etc on the s650 i get this dock http://www.parrotshopping.com/us/p_htc_item.aspx?i=229884 its the same on this this page http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_item.aspx?i=229884&phone=229814 and on alot of pages so i guess they got the images mixed up..

Thanks, your help is apreciated
Hope the rest of the incoming members help us keeping it like this!!!

ohh that one..
was wondering why is it call a hard shell when there is a flip there...
no way am i getting a casing with a flip cover on it.. hate those designs..

I ordered this case and it came this morning: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Rubberised-...MCYA/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1331982985&sr=8-7
First impressions- I don't like the way it's not going to completely cover the top or bottom of the phone, it also seems like the kind of case that clips on - not a big fan - (I'll see how it fits when I get the device) - material seems good though (hard plastic).
May be a good stop gap until casemate get their tough cases out (loath to pay 30 quid though, but always found them to offer A+ protection)

@jermx i think this is a stand becouse this case is transparent

I thought the exact same thing earlier. The location of the micro usb plug on there would mean that the micro usb port on the phone would have to be on the right hand side, but in all pictures it's been on the left hand side.
Perhaps it's a mirror image, for some reason?

the phone has 5 metal dots on the back. these are the dock connection. not the micro-usb port.

Genuine Samsung Galaxy S3 Flip Cover Video Review

Genuine Samsung S3 Cover / Case Part No - EFC-1G6FBECSTD

As always any feedback is more than welcome

Good point someone just made, you can't see the LED for notifications.
Not a major thing for me but it maybe for some people.

It also makes using the camera a bit of a pain. Useful for proping up the phone though.

Hello everyone,
I'm using the flip cover on my S3 and is exactly what i wanted. The only problem is the led being covered, so, i used a tool that i have to make holes on belts to make one on the cover and now is perfect for me.
See the pic below. The cover is very hard, i had to make a lot of "force" to make the hole.

I doubt they will but I think it would increase sales as a lot of people have pointed out the issue. I can't see how they can solve the issue of using the camera though.

Can someone that owns this case answer me this;
Is this cover protective for the screen in a case of a fall? I mean does it "lock" in place over the screen? If you turn it upside down for example, the flip opens?
I believe its the most basic thing that should be answered (if it does not protect the screen its useless) and no one in any review does this simple test.

Sorry I thought it was clear, no it doesn't lock to the screen so it dropped it could easily flap open.

ive pre ordered the case as its not out in australia yet, i should be getting it next week. never really thought about the camera and stuff until you guys mentioned it. ive used pu leather flip cases before and havnt really found it a problem. hopefully ill enjoy it as much i planned to. i love the looks and quality of the case, ive paid $39 aus for this product. cant wait..

I got one of these a couple of weeks back for my device. I found it was rather annoying having to hold it at an awkward angle when on the phone. I wish they'd made it flip up or down instead of to the side. It also means you can't hold it very well with your left hand either, as it adds even more width on to the device!
I've switched to a skin thingy now instead, even though it leaves the screen open to damage. I'm still looking to get some kind of plastic cover I can use with the skin I've got though.

Official LG Quick Cover

Got my nexus today and the official quick cover I ordered came with it too, even though the order indicated part dispatch. I had assumed this meant the case had been delayed.
Have to say it is a very nice case, feels great, nice snug fit and it is really thin. While it is still bedding in the front flap is lifting slightly when closed (see pic) but I am sure this will give a bit in the next few day's.
Not worth £35!!!!! But it is a nice case. If the spigen one is as nicely made (seem to be looking at pics and reviews) then it will make them a bargain

Nice, but I REALLY miss the Nexus sign from the back...

Was in new gadget blindness mode and didn't really think about the cost, at £35 it is a bit too much.
I reckon at that price the hole punch cut out for the notification light should go for about £4 on eBay

You had me going there for a moment - I had to reach all the way past my keyboard at work to test your theory.
Phew, I am not an idiot after all, although most of my daily actions would prove otherwise, LGoogle have forgotten to poke a hole in their case!
I will have to ring them and see if they can mail me a hole upgrade? If the makers of polo mints can remember to put holes in their products, I don't see why LGoogle can't
What do you think Google will charge me for postage on a hole?

I really like it but to bad the nexus logo on the back is lost

Id love to get this but losing the nexus logo is a no go for me. I think ill just buy a real bumper.

Does that mean that the front flap isn't magnetized? I'd heard it was and that when you open it, it unlocks your screen.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

I have the case as well myself. The flap IS magnetised. The magnet is actually located above the volume buttons, so that when closed the magnet touches the screen glass over the volume buttons.
And I agree, while the case is nice, it definitely isn't worth £35, more like £15 and that's pushing it.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Ok...how did you guys get the case? When I look in the Google Play store, it says "coming soon". I'm in Canada (eh?) and never have any issue purchasing other stuff. I got the white Nexus 5 and thought the white flipcase would look SIC!!!

I received my Quick Cover with my Nexus 5 on Monday. First time I have used a case like this and I must say I am impressed. It feels premium (perhaps not £35 premium) and does not add as much bulk to the phone as I expected.
I for one am glad it has no notification light hole as the light used to wake me in the night on my bedside table.
One question to any other owners, is the rear too thick for wireless charging to work?

The hole in the picture is at the top for the earpiece so you can talk on the phone with the cover closed...

What happens if the flap is closed, you receive an incoming call and open the flap? Does that automatically answer the call? What happens to a call when you close the flap?

Opening the flip just turns on the screen. All it does is it saves your pressing the power button. You still have to swipe to unlock if you have it turned on, still have to enter your unlock code etc. When there's an incoming call, after opening the flip you still have to swipe to answer/reject/silence the call. And closing the flip doesn't end calls either, it just turns off the display, or the speaker hole on the flip would be pointless.

It's all about the quality.
Besides, unlike a lot of flip covers, this one appears to have a magnet to turn the device on and off.

How can they not have a hole for the notification LED? Dealbreaker for me.

WOW £45.98 in the UK $74.10

Just ordered it! WOOT!! Hate the price but it'll look so good. Wife will kill me though $67 bucks is very steep for a case...seriously!

The price seems crazy. But then I realize I usually end up buying multiple cases for my phone anyway because I never seem to be satisfied with the cheaper cases. So perhaps I should just suck it up and spend $50 on a case I like instead of $50 on 4 different cases I don't care much for. I'm still working that argument out in my head though.
I am disappointed to see though that the NEXUS logo isn't on the back on the LG cover like it is on the bumper case. I realize it's the "LG" quick cover, but still, at that price the Nexus logo would have been nice. At least it would make the decision a little easier for me.

I agree completely with the LED thing. Since this device has a round speaker, it's just begging to have a circle cut out of each side...

Too bad there isn't a cutout for the notification light. I wonder if one could be added with a hole punch. That's a lot of money to to find out. You must be able to answer it with the case on or do people answer it, close the cover and then listen?

Got mine this morning. The look, fit and feel is perfect (well, for me anyway). I had gotten used to the S-Cover feature of the S4 so it was nice to have the little magnet back. Not willing to take a hole punch to it just yet though.

The hole would be nice, but aesthetically, it would not look as good as the screen border is black and would not contrast well with the White. They are going for a smooth consistently white look and putting that hole there would mess it up. But I digress.

Too bad no NeXus branding on the face.

Anymore comment on that one?

Is there even a point in having the cutout for the speaker? They could just reverse it and have the cutout for the LED instead of the speaker. Do people actually talk with the cover on?

Can you comment on the cover after some time of use?

Ordered Mine last week and was excited to get it and low and behold....Google decided to lump my package with a 184 others and didn't list the contents of my package, thus, it's being held until the proper paperwork goes through. Holy Crap I'm irritated! I was expecting it to be delivered today but no....:crying:
...Ok...I'm done whining.

I got mine last week. Unfortunately I have notices one of the corners doesn't quite go in properly. The screen sticks up slightly. For the money I was expecting it to be perfect. Rang Google, and just waiting to see if they will refund me or not as they would not replace.
EDIT - They have agreed to refund me.
