[Q] Samsung Vibrant Back Cover

Hey,
I was wondering if some one was willing to part with their additional backplate (for $ of course). The tmobile bag with my box and accessories was stolen out of my car and I didn't think I would need another as I'm usually good with phones. Unfortunately, last night it fell out of my purse, hitting the curb at a weird angle, cracking the backplate. If no one is willing to sell one, could you give any links to somewhere to buy a replacement?
Thanks

It's 20 Canadians on bell's website http://www.bell.ca/shopping/PrsShpWls_PrdAccList.page?currentPageIndex=0&phoneSku=70269

You can only buy it if you live in Canada, which I don't

You can look around eBay and see if somebody is selling any of them. I think I've seen some carbon fiber ones being sold, not exactly the stock one but it'll be a backcover.
Somebody linked this in another thread: http://cgi.ebay.com/New-Genuine-Sam...Fascias_JN&hash=item5194bdfde4#ht_1508wt_1137 It's the I9000 version so I don't know if it'll fit, but most likely it will. Same back cover but has "with Google" on it. Imported from the UK

The i9000 back plate IS identical to the Vibrant's.

I have a few posts in this section on this as soon as someone comes out with some back covers i will be all over them. I want some white ones ones with designs.

I'm really surprised that T-Mobile hasn't launched any additional patterned backs for this phone, considering it's their current Flagship phone.

the leather one is nice
quick question
does the back clear part light up too or is it only from front ?
cause some cases dont have the opening on the back

The light bar is transparent, you can see right through it.

Three lights are located at the top center of transparent piece. so it should light up front and back evenly.

Went to T-Mobile, AT&T and Verizon retail stores today looking for a universal case that would hold this device and none of them had one!
This cannot possibly be the only 5" device on the market. Pathetic selection. What kind of business model doesn't have accessories to support the devices they provide?

I totally agree with what you say and unfortunately we have to wait till it becomes more avaiblable in the US. If we were in Europe or else where it would be easier.
All the stores like ATT tMobile, etc. in the US are garbage and useless. Unfortunately this is how it is here.

Nimche, you don't know how it is here in Brazil... Hahaha. Anyway, yes, having no support on a product you bought... really sucks.
I had one of the FEW Sony Ericsson Satio that were sold in Brazil, and trust me... A Nissan Pathfinder went over it, and the cellphone was still working perfectly, but obviously over asphalt the screen got cracked... There was NO Sony Ericsson retailers that had the screen, and only to fix it, it'd cost me 1/3 of the price of the device...
Anyways, I'm receiving a hard case from Handtec with my order. You can get the hard case here: handtec.co.uk/product.php/6407/sony-xperia-s-shell-case---black

i like Tpu case

Yes, I feel what you say as well. No wonder here in the US people like to get iPhone alot because you go to store and buy the darn thing with all the accessories you want and even WindowsMobile you could go to MS store and get it but Sony with all the power it has is like Sh*t. You go to store, you find the most useless people on the planet to work there, they have no clue what they are selling and no information of what is coming. Every time I go there, I have to surprise them with new Sony's technology.
That hard case is like the original Sony branded (website didn't fully work) but I think Clove at UK and Expansys USA will start selling them too Expansys USA
I like the blue one tho.

Case on Ebay

I am going to be ordering the Nillikin case for this. Only a tenner and happy to wait the couple of weeks it will take from china. Nillikin have good reviews so I think this could be a winner. I cannot post links yet but it is item number 160760327876 on eBay UK for a pictures
EDIT: Blimey, I should have clicked on the link in the post above, that is exactly the case I ordered. Will let you know how it feels if it comes before anyone else gets it

@alsaqr I like the blue one a lot!! It looks pretty good and should be very comfortable holding in hand.

Hhahaha i will buy one to test it and give to xda community some info about it.

So, has anyone bought one of these? My HOX fell down on hard asphalt a few days ago and the white housing got dents on three corners. After I got a proper pouch I would like to replace it because I plan to use the phone for at least two years. To be honest, I feel a little uncertain about ordering stuff on eBay from Chinese people. But so far I haven't seen an alternative.

WOW...wat you got against the Chinese bro. I admit that China does make cheap ripoffs of the real deal. But if the titles says its legit, you can buy it, and if you dont think its legit, just ask for moneyback.. Why you gotta make this so racist

How easy is it to replace the back cover? I mean, does it just come off and the other one goes on?

Its so easy, find some videos on youtube about this.

Now all we need is someone selling a deeper one with a high capacity battery

Hey, no offense intended. I've got nothing against the Chinese in general, e.g. I've got a very cool Chinese colleague. But I wondered if it is so easy to get your money back from a guy in China if he sells you a crap or fake product when you live in Europe. I would have asked the same if the housing had been offered by someone from Argentina or South Africa, simply because it's a different country far away and I have no experience with ordering from there. Calling this racist is nonsense.

Has anyone bought this yet? I want to but I'm concerned about the quality.

Its not racist, the Chinese have form for knocking off everything and everything, even down to forging cancer drugs that instead of helping with the disease help to speed it up instead.... Those damn things have found their way into legit doctors surgeries.
So no, commenting on the fact the chinese regularly flog fake bunk is fact not racism.

Has anyone bought this yet?

I ordered this past weekend. I'm in Canada so it may take a week or two.

Hong Kong is not part of China so don't worry . I was told by a seller it was original by HTC so I should expected it to be exactly the same. I don't know whether to be assured or to find loads of flaws from the building process .

interesting. I've been waiting to see the inside of the case. Some places have been saying the body is manufactured by machining but that looks a lot more like an injection moulded part. Maybe a small mount of post machining / polishing.

the question is, how hard is it to apply it yourself to the device ?!

saw a couple of video's on how to replace the housing.....from the looks of it, scary
That's just me :cyclops:

I'd have to agree with that. But most of if not all of those same accessories ship from Hong Kong too...everything ordered from the site I posted might cost a few bucks more, but they're shipped from the USA and arrive much faster. To some, that's worth the few extra bucks spent.

Elegant charging stand

Found this on thingyverse. Prints in about 6hours on a Makerbot. Really nice. The person who designed this also figured out the correct center of mass and it's very stable and hard to knock over. Sorry if I missed that somebody already posted this (I could not find it here).

That is really cool, thanks! Getting quotes from the local 3D printers. Can I ask how much you paid for yours to be made?

I didn't pay for mine. Just used a printer at work with some extra feed-stock material sitting around. The tricky part was to get all the support material off. I can't imagine this will be cheap.

There are local print shops emerging in a lot of places, maybe one in your area. Just take your design to the shop and have it printed or print it yourself.
That will eliminate shipping costs as well , which can be high depending on how far it has to go.

Is there a link to the printer files for the original stand pictured? Am I completely blind? I'd love to donate to that person and get that stand printed!!
Edit: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1306057 yeah.. I'll remember to look better next time >_<

never mind, wrong thread

Just got my printed stand in the mail from my friend today! Fits like a glove! Balances well, attaches to charge wonderfully. I am beyond stoked right now.

Funny, I just got my Huawei watch today and 3d printing a stand was my first thought as I plan to use a metal band and the stock charger wouldn't be very accommodating for that. Then I came here and saw this thread.
3D printing it in wood right now, will post pictures when it's done.

Well I rushed the post processing (staining and painting) because I'm heading out for the holidays and wanted to at least get something done. Still wet. I'll probably re-do it in the new year and make it completely smooth and more wood like.

Looking good!

Anyone know of any services in the UK that might be able to print this for me?
