One of the aesthetic features I love on the Vibrant is the shiny chrome bezel. Does anyone know if/where I could find a battery door that matches it? It'd look sweet to have that shiny color all down the back of the phone.

I'm considering ordering one of these but I would like to see some more pictures or a video before I drop $30. If anyone has one of these and can share their experience it would be greatly appreciated.
It looks awesome but the iphone people say it breaks easily. The corners tend to break if dropped once. I am also considering this case so if anyone has used one let us know!

I'm not sure about the case, but the D30 stuff is pretty cool. It is used in snowboarding beanies http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=7&ved=0CGQQtwIwBg&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D9VDeJ7rLUYU&ei=tB7rT8mFHfSO2QWnnISlAQ&usg=AFQjCNHbtSPkRZ5Pc2DTrIIHpXHZZzJyTA&sig2=Ak0Ki8hpcDjW8ONFqTCTQQ and also motorcycle armor.
ok, so I decided to check the T-Mobile store today for accessories due to the second launch date and low and behold they had this case in stock. I now own one. I got the navy blue one and the color looks really good with my pebble blue gs3. The fit is superb, easy to get on but difficult to remove. I only wish that it had more protection for the top and bottom potions of the bezel. It is very slim and has a great feel. Overall I am very satisfied, despite the $34.99 price tag
Looking for a matte plastic battery door cover OR something that is similar to the one on the galaxy nexus. Has anyone come across one? Don't really like the glossy back on the s3.

I'm also trying to find a nice replacement back cover. Something more grippy or textured, and also a bit thicker to recess the camera a little bit. Was hoping find something with a dimpled or mesh pattern to match the background in S-Voice. So far all I've found that might work are the vinyl leather/carbon fiber backcovers.
Anyone find anything else?
i would also like to know!

I am not sure exactly what you mean; as I haven't seen the Galaxy Nexus. But what about something like this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Pebble-Blue..._Accessories&hash=item3cc929e7fe#ht_500wt_860
(This is for Pebble Blue; seller here has links to white and black colors as well.)

Does anyone know of any custom battery covers? or back plates? I'd really like to get a collegiate one or perhaps one that is a custom color and design via an uploaded jpg. I know there are things like skinit etc. but I figure this is a pretty simple piece of plastic right? Couldn't be that hard to replicate and customize.
any thoughts?

Find someone who does vinyl wraps. Have them print something small and just wrap it.
clarification
just to clarify I am looking for an actual battery cover replacement. Not a skin or a case.
thanks
Vinyl
I hadn't thought of a vinyl wrap like that. That's a great idea! :good:
I really want to get an actual replacement cover... but if I cannot find anything soon that might be my alternative.
I bought I carbon fiber back from eBay search in china japan they have them.

You can get just the plain Samsung cover. They can be found for $8 for a pretty nice one. I finally found one that fits right. I can find you the link. Keep the new one as a back up replacement and use the old one wrapped. Since the rep I found has the Samsung cut out. I can post pics and stuff when I get home. I know they would do cases before battery covers.
Hi,
I'm looking for a replacement battery door.
With the popularity of the Samsung Galaxy lines, I'm surprised that there are no varieties of battery covers. Just the brushed aluminum backs and the basic plastic covers with a variety of basic colours.
But has anyone seen clear transparent battery doors?
the Iphone has one
and here are some translucent ones, but what I really want is a transparent one.
I guess the Galaxy Line isn't popular enough?
Here are some other links Google found.

I think our Battery Door is completely plastic so it certainly should be doable, right?
True....but....battery area nothing much to look at...no wires....nothing... But I dun mind buying one...lol...

Thanks for the reply. Maybe by the 4th generation Note or Galaxy S we will see some Transparent battery door. We already have it in the cases. I think it looks better than opaque covers.
Wow, that would be cool. I'd totally pay 30,50 for it hehe. But I'd get it for my future Galaxy Note 2 hehe.
I've also been looking for this, would be cool, can't find one anywhere. That metal back cover you mentioned, is it the one on eBay by any chance? If so I bought one and it didn't fit, the catches where out of place and only one side clipped in. Also its described as replacement cover but its more of a case, the metal part it stuck over the battery cover which means its a lot thicker than replacement so no case can be used with it. Just a friendly warning in case anyone was going to buy
If the battery cover comes in translucent black. That will be cool

So I just got an S3 this last week and decided on the Ballistic LS case... I searched around on here and really didn't find but one thread and it was just someone asking about it... so I figured I'd give my thoughts on it and maybe throw some pictures up if anyone was interested...
I'm pretty happy with it. It keeps the phone slim while feeling pretty protected, you can lay it down on both front and back and the screen and camera are protected from making contact with the surface. The volume and power buttons are extremely easy to push and the little removable rubber bumpers on the corners seem like a good mix of bouncy and firm to protect it from a corner impact. And you get a few different colors to change out so that's always nice. All the holes are cut out well and everything fits well. The rubber isn't so grippy that you can't throw it in a pocket, but it feels more secure holding it than just the bare phone. I haven't put any screen protection, but it doesn't look like the case will interfere...
Anyway, my $0.02... if you're on the fence or looking for a good medium-protection case and don't wanna make your phone 3x bigger then grab one of these.. I got the gray one and it comes with gray, orange, blue and black corner inserts.. and it's less than $20.

Its a well made case. Wifey had it for awhile.
