Colored Battery Covers - Galaxy S II Accessories

Just came across these:
Anyone has any experience with them?

I'll let you know when it actually arrives
From the looks of the pics it looks like the battery cover is slightly thicker than the stock cover, so it should protect the camera lens from scratching.

thanks ! have been looking for these for a while !

I'm actually after a spare stock rear battery cover. Anyone seen them being sold online or at a shop?

Thanks! I'll buy the black one, because I don't want to scratch the original one.

I dont think you could scratch the original one even if you tried. Its made of perforated plastic and is rough to touch anyway.

I think these might be cool for parties etc

Depending on the price I'd love to get a yellow and green one!

Well I actually bought the white one, will post pictures/comments when I have it. If people are interested

Here you can buy an original one:

Yes please. Im interested in the White one and would love to see how it looks in real life.

Ordered a black one just because it has the Galaxy S II logo on the back
Should look nice with my translucent black TPU case.

Nice link, shame the only colour they seem not to do is the one I want (red)

I'd like to se e metal ones. Maybe somthing the same colour as the metal on the outer rim of the phone would look good.

I would be very interested in one if these if they played nice with the Zagg invisibleShield FULL BODY maximum coverage or easy install. The stock back has the texture which makes the invisible shields look like junk and peel.
Anyone want to be my guinea pig?? =D
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App

If the price was right, it would be cool to be able to switch the back cover to suit the colour of your wallpaper. $13 seems a little steep though. If it had been $6 I might have gone for a couple.
Interested to see what they look like in reality though.

Universal Modding

Hi guys.. since I got a 3150 mAh battery.. I kinda thought my Uni looked bulgy and boring.. so I got my Uni modded.. But most of my friends says it sucks.. They say, it kinda took the "Executive" look of my XDA Exec.. and that it now looks cheap.
But I think it's nice.. and I wanna know what other Universal users think about it.

Please post your own mods. I wanna see some better designs and get mine replaced if yours look better. Thanks!!
Hey DaVince,
I like what you've done to your Exec. It makes in unique. How did you achieve it? As a non-professional Exec user I've been looking for a way to jazz up mine since I've had it. Is it a custom paint job or a vinyl?
Cheers,
Ash
it defenetly does not look bad! have you painted it or is this a new case?
Hi guys,
It was done by a modding shop here called GMask. They applied a really thin film over the case (so it kind of also acts as protection from scratches). They also do laptops and cellphones.
Thanks for looking.
i also see one in bandung.i ask for the price for covering entire my dopod 900,its 200k.how much do your cost?is it can be peeled off?too bad they dont have solid colors like red only or blue.or lightning blue in black bg,or red fire like harley,or bullet hole.in sby there used to be a custom print.but now they re gone.i get it for my SE p900.

Mine was Php1,395 (Philippine Pesos). Just convert it to your currency.
And yes, it can be peeled off without damaging the case. You just have to take out that somewhat laminating tape on the edge.

Plastic.. much like that Clean Wrap film you use for sealing food.

Where is that Gmask?
I would like to visit the shop when I get to the Philippines next month.
Cheers

They have many branches. They have one at Glorietta, Greenbelt, etc.
I got mine at SM Mall of Asia.
Thanks DaVince
I'll try to visit Glorietta and Greenbelt.
@DaVince: Is that an extended battery you have on it? Seems a bit thicker than standard, where did you get it? Thanks in advance.
G-mask Site
here's the G-Mask site: http://www.gmask.com.ph
It seems they have branches outside of the Philippines...
and so it seems.
i wonder where the outlet in dubai is... it says end of 2006 but no address yet.
hmmm.

[CASES] Sleek hard-case case with lens protection

I got my HOX a week ago and I feel like the lens needs protecting if I want to lay it on the back, which I do all the time (who would lay it on the front, duh?).
I bought one simple silicon case, which works but as usual it draws dust to it pretty fast.
I looked at the Cruzerlite Androidified A2 TPU Case, it was very sleek and good looking, though it didn't protect the lens enough.
So yeah, anyone that can recommend one?
It doesn't need to have like a plastic cover over the lens. I just want to be able to put the phone on the back without the lens touching the table.
This is the case I got for my one x and I love it. hope the link helps

Wow that one looks really sleek, and it was cheap too
Looks like it protects the camera. Definitely an alternative, thx!
I have just aquired my One X and I got this case for it LINK. You don't really notice it's there as it sits really snug to the phone, is raised around the camera lens, and has a cool texture to the case. Comes with a screen protector too :good:

Thanks A LOT for linking me to that store! :victory:
Amazing prices and very low freight! Ordered both the case you suggested (which looked awesome) and this. I also ordered a MHL adapter thingy so I can connect it to my tv. All that + freight for just about 37 dollar

I wouldn't blame it on nilkin. Everyone knows that white plastic gets yellow and or dirty fast. That is why I ordered the black and the rainbow
I have ordered this..polycarbonate, looks great with a pearl finish , minimalistic n comes with 6 months warranty..n being polycarbonate its very easy to clean n looks stunning..
Nillkin case has a textured finish..so dust n grime accumulate in those tiny holes n its almost impossiblebto clean..that's y I don't Like it all..

Replica Official Bumper case micro-review w/pics

I bought these on ebay for about $10 each. Sorry if the pics aren't the best. There's not a lot to say about them, they fit very well and I don't feel any give or looseness. The plastic quality is pretty good, and look much better in good light. For the money, I'd say they're definitely worth it, no doubt.

I got the red one and like you I was quite impressed. Very nice looking out of the box.
However the feel of the case is very slippery and difficult to hold. Not sure if the original is the same but I just could not get used to it. Went back to a cheap e-bay TPU case again after a few days.
Can you...
....Give me a link to this store. I'll definitely buy one of these. :highfive:
EDIT: to ebay.co.uk
Any experience with the peeling issue? I'm asking everywhere, i would buy this one instantly, but the peeling issue keeps me from that
Thank you for the review
Can you please add a pic with the bumper mounted? I've ordered the yellow one from Hong Kong and I'm waiting for its arrival.

I completely agree. It's pretty slippery, but good looking. I'm just going to use it once in a while when I go out and want a different look. But for most days I'm going to stick to my Ringke Fusion Crystal View case. It has very tacky sides and I never feel likes it's going to slip out of my hands. But like I said, the replica bumper cases do look good. For what I paid, it's adequate.

I also got the grey one but was able to use it only for a few weeks before there was quite bad dis-colouration on the sides/edges and back. Makes it look very dingy.
That along with how slippery it was makes it something I would not recommend.
I'm no expert but these replica cases somehow feel like they are missing some kind of coating or finishing or something.

Which case to buy?

Hey there. I'm looking to buy a good case for my phone. I live in Ireland and if possible can any one find a nice cheap case from UK or Ireland if possible ? Any suggestions appreciated

I cannot help you more than giving you my own experience, so that you can know if it is or not what you want
Heavy Duty case (unboxing and life-tested (simply don't know how to break my device with it :silly:
Tempered glass protector to fully protect the device
i'll soon try to find another case for a XT1039 -but lighter than the one for my XT1032-, and post a review asap.

I have a xt1032 (forgot to mention) the case looks nice. I don't mind if its a bit chunky unless its really chunky, overall I think the case looks nice . I don't know whether or not I need screen protector because I thought moto g screen is scratch proof. My current case is a big thick leather flip case which is a bit annoying when I play games.

For me the best case is the moto grip shell. It's colorful, it protects both the screen (because the silicon part comes a little bit over it) and the phone itself. You can find it on different websites around 10$...
A few days ago I ordered the case @matmutant suggested. It comes with screen protector,stylus and case and all for just 8€ so I'm pretty happy

Hybrid Flip PU Leather Case is fantastic for no more than £3/$4

Bought this case off eBay for £2.78 and have never been happier with a product this cheap. The thing isn't too cheaply made, it's just generic, the appearance however is anything but generic.
You can get these cases in a bunch of styles, I liked this one since it reminded me a bit of Marques Brownlee's color scheme.
The build quality is just standard, but it really can not be perceived as bad. It still has the annoying trait of being less than pleasing to hold in the hand when you bend the front cover back like most leather-esque cases are, except for the higher quality ones (Which don't exist for the OPO to my knowledge). There aren't that many cases for the OPO out there still left in production, so the only ones you can find are that bulky metal one people keep raving about, or others with branding all over the place. This thing is just a mass-produced, average quality, but very aesthetically pleasing case, and I couldn't recommend it more.
Here's some pics of mine as is:

Don't think I've seen anybody really review this case, but I'm pleasantly surprised to see a nice looking case for the OPO that's still available and isn't extortionate.
Looks nice, I am not usually a fan of flip cases. I assume this is the one

Looks like it. I just wanted something stylish so I got it, and for the price of the currently existing decent cases for the OPO I could get 10 of these.

Nope, I hate those things, since it would have to wrap around the side. There's always this and this though.

I'm honestly not a fan of those either, that's always the first part to break. Lol. I'm wanting to know if the phones screens turns on automatically when you open the flip cover. Thanks for the quick response.

I think that is just a stock feature if the case supports it. I don't know of a setting that you can turn off and on for it to work. Oh well that would have been a big selling point on this case for me but thanks for letting me know! Still looks really nice!
