I heard that the cover made for the vibrant 4g is a lot sturdier that that of the original vibrant, is there a place to purchase a replacement battery cover for the vibrant 4g and would it work with the original vibrant?
Sorry if this has already been posted, searched and couldn't find anything.
i wonder if we could buy it broo...i like that cover..ill try to find it ..if any , ill tell yuhh
It is the SAME cover you have now...it is just painted grey/black.
Stole my girl's battery and cover when she got her 4g.

Does anyone know where i can find an extended battery cover similar to the one by seidio for my evo? I have an extended battery from amazon with the big cover and honestly i dont like it... seems like it isnt made for my evo. I just feel like the angle that it pops out of the back makes it look and feel awkward, and i especially hate the 4 bumps on the corners above the battery. Sometimes i have to push on the corners of the cover because i dont want dust geting in, and i feel like the added space other than the battery area is really unnecessary. So if it's possible, i would really love an extended battery back like the seidio one, preferably in a different cover(that would be fresh ), if anyone can help me find one!
Because the extended batteries all seem to have such different battery door covers, it's hard to say. I have been checking (and hoping) for seidio to make colored covers for the Evo for myself. The closest thing I found was on eBay. So try there for cases if you haven't already!
Good luck.
edited....i think I misunderstood your first post. If you are looking for the battery cover door though, ebay will probably still be your best bet.

I have an extra seidio one i can sell you, its marked up slightly though, and one prong is missing i believe, connects fine and is not loose at all
how much you selling it for
If I was you I would take his offer if its within reason. I actually bought my seido from the factory store online and broke a prong off mine accidentally and looked everywhere for just the door alone. Now this could have very easily changed but as of before xmas? Seido themselves did not sell the door alone much less best buy or amazon etc. You can find a replacement flat standard door pretty easy, but one for the extended seido? I had tough time. I actually got them to send me one no charge, but I had just spent like 200 bucks with them so.....gl
The Sedio cover won't fit the Amazon battery.
Yes it will and make me an offer on the door its an official seidio

Gorilla gadgets has extened battery covers. I got my battery from them.
Anyone know were i can buy battery cover door for sprint samsung galaxy s2 epic 4g ?
I am looking for different colors back or aluminum .. I see them on ebay but none says sprint epic 4g ?
will these fits or not ?
thanks
I like to have a spare OEM battery cover just in case mine breaks a tab or something.
The last one I saw was sold on Ebay for $18.50.
I haven't looked for one in a couple of weeks, but they were not readily available
anywhere.
I'll try looking again.
If it doesn't say it's for the SE4GT for Sprint, it won't fit, and/or won't have the proper script on it.
Thanks - wish they can make them for sprint epic 4g there are so many for the other version..
Thanks will see if my local sprint store have any ....
I'd like to know this too. Love the phone, hate the build quality. A snazzy soft touch or aluminum battery door / case would be rad.
Regarding the build quality, that may just be perception, and not reality.
It may feel flimsy because it is light, and not made of titanium and other exotics.
But if you think about it, it's got to be made to withstand every day happenings, which I feel it does.
Why can't they make aluminum doors for s2 epic ? there are millions for ATT and T mobile but non for epic 4g
They should make it compatible for certain hardware like doors - batteries - etc
Just found the stock OEM Battery cover over HERE

The price ain't bad compared to other prices I've seen, and it's always good to have a spare laying around.

Ebay has att s2 for $4 - $8 range..
If you want to change the look of your battery cover you could pick up a sample of 3M Di-Noc off of eBay. Check out a couple of videos on YouTube about the stuff.
I'm also wanting an aluminum battery cover, maybe a carbon fiber weave...

Sorry 3M Di-Noc off?????? huh? can u explain....
3M Di-Noc... think of it as a bad ass phone skin. Its primary use is on import tuner cars to give practically any surface a carbon fiber texture and feel. Multiple colors and super easy to work with. They warranty the stuff in automotive applications against fade and adhesion. Seriously there are many clips on YouTube of people playing with thus stuff.

I was researching some options for my friends Tmo GS2 and i stumbled upon PowerSkin, which seems like the SLIMMEST alternative for extended battery life and its a CASE at the same time!! The way it works is that the case has a built-in battery that would give an extra 1500 mAh that connects to the usb port and it charges like an external battery only that it is attached to the back of your phone and you have a toggle button for whenever you want it to start or stop charging. If you need to charge it or connect to PC, you would have to use the port that comes with the case. The extra mAh brings our ET4G's up to 3350 mAh and the phone doesnt nearly look as horrendous or bulky as our previous options (seidio, hyperion, etc)
Only one issue though: there's no ET4G-specific case. Well according to this guy:
http://forums.androidcentral.com/sp...h-extended-battery-protective-case-combo.html
our phone is identical in make and shape to the Skyrocket and it fit and worked perfectly for him.
Anyone confirm? Will anyone bite? It's $79.99 at your local AT&T store or here:
http://www.shop.power-skin.com/powerskin/samsung/galaxy-s2-skyrocket-att
EDIT: its garbage. let it die
Have you seen how much bulk they add. Makes the phone as fat as a HTC G1. Eeewwww. No thanks . I'm tell in ya it's huge.
I picked up a killer bodyglove case on ebay for $13. Simple, thin, and kickstand for horizontal and vertical use. Sides do not intrude on the display space as well which is a biggy for me. There is a really cool and cheap case on ebay in like 50 colors but it puts a wall around the display.
This Bglove case is Perfect!

I did some research today. The tmobile galaxy s2 is not the same as ours. Some of the differences are: the battery is slightly longer and has nfc in it and is 1850ma, it is ever so slightly slimmer (case was just a hair too small for my phone), the mic is right next to the micro usb port. I didn't get to see in person the att skyrocket but it has the 1850 battery (I'm assuming the same as the s2), the speaker in the back is on the opposite side. Anything else I don't know about that one. I saw in person, the powerskin for the galaxy s2. It is very true the material of the case is crappy. It's rubber like and pretty flimsy. Imagine a snorkel mask silicon where the back of the head strap is. Make it thicker and slightly stiffer and that's what the top part of the case feels like. They should have made it out of similar material as the moxie juice pack cases, if you've ever seen one. It's firm plastic but it wouldn't snap if you bent it. Being a two piece slider case with firm rubber like plastic would be much better. It was a huge mistake to make the micro usb port on the outside of the case for charge only and not sync. It was another mistake to make the plug inside the case, that goes into the bottom phone port, on a wire and not molded into the case. It seems like a good idea but poor execution. I read reviews of the powerskin for the nexus s and people thought it was crappy quality and made the phone very thick. I'll pass on this one. I didn't even try to fit it on my phone since their firm "gel" plastic cases were just barely too small for the edges that go over the outside if the screen wouldn't fully come up and over the top of the glass.
Still today people can't tell that theres a big different between our E4GT and other Galaxy SII. SIZE DIFFERET, YOU DUMB PHUCC Original GS2 case or any other HARDWARE will not FIT our Epic 4G Touch.

Haha, UMAD?
lol okay.
yang704:
1) im talking about the AT&T SKYROCKET not the Int'l version. look it up, foo.
2) its the most similar GS2 to our ET4G aside from the speaker and camera layout.
3) its an external battery pack that charges from the usb port, thus it will "FIT our Epic 4G Touch".
oscarthegrouch:
thank you for the contribution to the thread. it did seem pretty sketchy to me, but i havent found anything else like it so i thought it was worth the looking into
just let the thread die pls
I know they are few and far between for other model phones...but does anyone know of a form-fitting case, specifically for an extended battery E4GT? The only ones I see out there are actual cases that open, close and clip onto your belt...like a little man-purse. I bought the Trexcell 3800mAh and I love the added life but it scares the hell out of me walking around with this phone unprotected. Alcohol and unprotected phones don't mix, you see....I've already dropped it twice
If anyone knows of one that actually slides onto the phone and doesn't look like a little pouch, please let me know.
There ya go!

Here's one. Putting full metal back cover can reduce GPS functionality.
