I guess this mostly apply to people who are planning to buy a thin case that doesn't provide anything more than scratch protection. I fall into this category and was planning to wait for Zagg to get a invisible shield product out, but as I was putting the battery in for the first time I realized...
why don't I just replace the plastic cover when it gets too scratched or when I want to sell the phone? I'm sure the genuine covers will start showing up on ebay soon enough.
Forgive me if this is a duh thing and has been generally dismissed... I came from an iPhone...
Thoughts?
There are rubberized back covers now on the internet, and they are, in my opinion alot better than a case because you keep that thin feeling and have a rubbery touch to it..

Find me a link I was looking on ebay and couldn't find one. Thanks
Here's what I found. Not ebay, but anyway.
Look on mobilecityonline dot com for product #27649 "Motorola Rugged Battery Cover"
I'm too new to post a link.
I'd do this, but I like a case that has a 1-2mm lip around the display. That way your screen stands a better chance of not cracking if it falls face-down or front edge down. I wish I could get a slider like the Seidio Innocase II I had for my N1. I'd dropped that a bunch of times and the phone doesn't have any scars for it. I have the Speck case for now, but I'll ditch it once something thinner like the Innocase shows up.
first company to release a soft touch back cover replacement with kickstand gets my money!

Hey, that looks pretty cool! Anyone have experienced with it? What does "rugged" mean? I also couldn't find battery covers for Atrix on Ebay.

Best Skins Ever FTW
On every device I've owned I've always had a best skins ever. The texture and quality is better than any others I have tried. Every skin I've ever had covers every part of the phone and they have all lasted until I replaced the phone. Very durable. I've ordered mine for the Atrix and should have it shortly. I can post pics when I put it on but in the mean time here is a link and a couple examples of a bestskinsever on my Nexus.

Yes, please show us some pics, and keep it weird up there
I've never really been a big fan of skins.... be it ZAGG Invisible Shield or anything similar. They just feel odd to me. I actually purchased a cheap TPU case for my Atrix, and like it quite a lot.
As for PowerMat which someone mentioned, i sent them an e-mail about a week ago, and recieved the usual expected canned response... they don't have a battery door right now, but the PowerCube would work. Really do hope they make a battery door replacement.... might be worth getting.
Yeah, I would love an Atrix powermat backcover. I was going to buy a standard dock but maybe I'll wait for a bit.

Anyone know why these are being discontinued everywhere?...
Probably because they were never technically released by Motorola. If you read reviews of the ones that some people have gotten a hold of, even the overall feel of the cases seem to differ even depending on what color they picked.
It's not a bad cover....not great either. But it is the only one that will allow it to fit into the vehicle dock without modification. I ordered it from a place in Canada, it shipped from Hong Kong. Took about a month to get to me. The edges are kinda flimsy, especially around the usb/hdmi dock area. And the lip doesn't stay "lipped" around the edge of the display very well. I think I'll just go back to my OtterBox Impact. I spend less time taking it off and putting it back on, than I do with constantly adjusting the ruggedized cover.
Hi All,

I have tried contacting LG, and they are back ordered.
Does any one wants to sell theirs?

I think the only place you're going to find a replacement is through LG. Sorry, wish I could help. If you put the back cover on and then put a case over it will it be good enough to use for now?

Thanks, that's what I'm doing.. I went to AT&T store and bought a back cover.
Cool! How much was it?
And don't forget, there is an ultimate, universal back cover for any phone: DUCT TAPE.
Just buy a case for your phone and then place your cover on and then the case and everything will stay just on just peachy
It will probably be cheaper than buying the OEM backplate from LG.

And less messy than Duct Tape..ehem ehem...
It was $30 from AT&T store, and it's pretty nice
Is it an aftermarket part or an OEM / LG part? I guess it fits the same right? Is it still textured? The case feels kinda flimsy, I kind of want one as a spare in case anything happens while taking it off and putting it back on.
Kamranwpi was talking about a Nitro case he picked up at the AT&T store that covers the back. He is still waiting for his OEM battery cover he ordered from LG. I work with him , the case is pretty nice though.
I'm thinking about buying a spare Nitro cover and one of the extended life battery covers from the spectrum. I want to cut them up and graft them together so I can use the 3000mAh extended battery. The stock Spectrum battery is the same as our Nitro, but they have an extended battery option. Their cover won't fit ours. We just need a new battery cover that will work!
Edit* I called LG. They are out of stock on the Nitro battery cover and don't know when they will be back in stock. They were $17.xx shipped. I didn't give them my address so where ever you live, that what it'll cost you too.
You can get the Verizon extended battery and cover for the Spectrum online for $49, but they are out of stock too. Damn shame their cover won't fit.
I called to get an update on my order, it's even more 5 weeks, and I placed my order in Jan. 6, 2012

@stemalo,
OEM batteries don't come with covers which is what this thread is for
However, the suggestion to purchase an extended battery would work because those do come with covers. Might be a solution if people can't find the stock OEM battery cover anywhere.
kamranwpi did get his oem cover from LG btw. It was quite some time ago in late Feb. He has since sold his phone to get a Galaxy Nexus.
I'm just having trouble getting to the right people at lg.

If you find one, please do post back here, as I really want an original battery door as well. Thanks!
I'm looking for them too
For an extra? why would you want another one? incase it gets scratched?
I've got the white version and I would like the back part of the blue one just to make it a bit different fromo others.
I thought I saw some on ebay, but something to remember is that if you want nfc to work, don't get metal ones. I would defintely go plastic until people have experience with the nfc issues.

Lol, and go without a battery door?
If I were you, you should check the thread where some of the guys are buying up the different back covers, and PM them. Good luck!
I'd def. buy one, as soon as samsung itself sells them. Anyone think they will?
Ebay has them
I've been looking and finally found them on ebay.
I can't post a link (new to the site), but use this search phrase in ebay:
battery cover samsung galaxy s3 white
Scroll down until you see a thumbnail with a red border and the word "original" plastered on it.
But it's for a white one. Not sure if they have the pebble blue... I did a quick search and came up empty. But I think it'll look nice with a white back, too! (Saw a youtube clip of a pebble blue SGS3 with a white back)
Just received from 2buya ebay seller a Pebble blue original battery cover for my white Samsung Galaxy S3.
I'm really happy with this purchase.
Saw some original Samsung replacement battery covers in CPWH.
I'm trying to find a decent deal on an official white Samsung book cover case. I tried ebay, but no luck. I'd rather it be an official Samsung one because I've seen that the knockoffs interfere with the S-Pen. So, where can I get a decent deal? Thanks in advance.

How do they interfere with the spen?
I got one from eBay, a knock off but is identical to the overpriced Samsung one (probably made in the same factory as the "official" one) for 11 quid. The official one I got from amazon, paid 29 quid for it. But that was a while back. Maybe it depends which ebay seller you use?
Looking at them now, I use a different cover btw, I can't tell which is which lol.
There is a white one listed on Amazon for $36.82, sold by Amazon but listed as used:
Samsung Electronics Book Cover for Galaxy Note 10.1-Inch, White (EFC-1G2NWECXAR)
If I didn't already have mine I'd probably buy it. Just FYI.

This would only be the case for cases that put a magnetic closure to jump on board with the them of iPad cases. I have never had on, so this is just here-say i saw in another XDA thread. Maybe another cause would be a knock-off case that was too tight, and pressured the tablet too much. Honestly i have nothing to speak from, as far a personal experience with these case issues. I am using a Blason brand black case that i got off of amazon for around $15. Only complaint, is that the edge flap the secures to top of the tablet to close the case, has gotten a bendy crease in it, that is only a minor inconvenience sometimes.
I have just received my Samsung Galaxy Note 10'1 case from amazon.co.uk, it was through the UK site but was a german company so took over a week to arrive but only £31.37, the company web site is www.avides.com, I am delighted with the case, I had a pleather one bought for about £15, this one washes it away, you can access the whole screen, there is a special slot for head phone jack so you don't have to removes to flip cover upward and you have easy access to pen. Jim
My fiancée got me a leather case that is actually for the Tab 2, so I tried cutting out a hole for my S-pen, this however, made the corner very weak and unable to hold that corner of the tablet in place.
It is still usable, but I'm looking for a lightweight case, similar to the official ipad cases with the magnetic screen cover. Where can I get something like this, cheap?

I can confirm that the knockoff I bought does interfere with the S-Pen. There are 6 circular magnets that run across about 2/3 down from the top. When I write in this area the sensitivity and accuracy are messed up but for some reason it's worse at the right side. Problem goes away as soon as I remove the case. I got mine from ebay.

I bought the official one from newegg and it also interferes with the screen at times. I write on this thing ALOT, at least 5 hours a day, so I notice it for sure. Every now and then it will take more pressure to write on top of the magnets. If i take the case off and put it back on everything is fine. I find myself taking the case off and on alot.

Thought I would start a new 'case thread' for the Z Fold 2, as the current one in this forum is very US orientated and the cases discussed there - are simply not available in the UK right now.
I will kick this off though with a high level of frustration, that this is the hardest phone to get a bloody case for! Especially given that it's one of the most fragile. Sure you can pay £80 for a flimsy bit of leather that only protects the back of the phone from Samsung. That's just a crazy price and poor value for money. But as far as I know that's the only case available to buy today (28th September).
I ordered the following Araree Bonnet leather Case from MobileFun 3 weeks ago and it's still out of stock for at least another 3 weeks:
https://www.mobilefun.co.uk/araree-bonnet-samsung-galaxy-z-fold-2-5g-wallet-stand-case-black-82183
There are no other cases available from them, they are all out of stock. Same with Amazon, where you are going to be waiting for several weeks before items are in stock. I really don't understand why, I have never had this issue with a new phone before, there were cases available for the Note 20 Ultra 2 weeks prior to the release date.
Yeah the case situation is pathetic. Just using the official leather at the moment as its better than nothing.

I think Samsung are charging way too much for the leather one, I bet they deliberately priced it so high because the people likely to buy this phone have a bit more cash to splash. Or that they know the cases are in short supply.
I bought the official leather case for my Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. It's twice the size of the Fold 2 case but cost considerably less, £30 (with a discount) and even that was too much in my opinion. I really need one that protects the cover screen, hence the reason I went for the Araree case.

The front cover protects the edges of front screen and sides (but does make swiping down from top of screen gesture a bit hit and miss for my big fingers)

Good to know about this.
The one you bought is not the same one I was looking at but similar:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/392948709396
It's cheap but it's better than nothing, I just ordered it now, because I really need something to protect this phone until something more premium comes along.
So thanks for sharing the link, I will update here when I receive the one I just bought!

So I ordered a cheap case off eBay whilst I wait several weeks for a much better one. Supposed to arrive this week. Of course on eBay, "UK STOCK" posted by Royal Mail that takes over a week to arrive means only one thing of course... they are being sent from China. Which I mostly expected when I ordered but took a chance that maybe someone was being honest. No wonder people claim item hasn't arrived and get their money back and still get to keep the item.
I am getting desperate for ANY kind of case for this phone, but the only one available from Samsung is the leather one (£80) or pay £150 upwards from a shark on eBay who clearly only snapped up a whole load of decent cases to add 200% mark up profit, adding over £100 to a £50 case. Crooks.
So no cases available in the UK at a non inflated price. I checked all the usual online outlets and all citing 'expected' stock in 3-4 weeks. What a frustrating crazy situation, for such a premium and arguably delicate phone, why on earth is there such a shortage here?

Update: One of the cases arrived today, just a hard clear back cover:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/For-Sams...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
It fits perfectly and will protect the back glass at least. It seems good quality for the £3 I paid, but like all these kind of cases , it adds weight to the phone on one side. Still it's better than nothing!

Yeah, you're absolutely right, the premium cases for this (very expensive) phone, are almost impossible to source, and when you eventually find one they are over-inflated prices. Trouble is sellers know that desperate consumers (who possibly have more cash than your average consumer) will eventually part with their money to protect such a valuable phone. But I am not falling for that. I have had an order for the Araree Bonnet leather case with MobileFun for over a month now and it's still showing at least a further month for stock to arrive. It's a quality leather cover case and is only costing me £35. In the meantime I am just keeping it in a neoprene pouch. The snakes on eBay buying these up and selling them for £180 - I hope someone screws them over at some point.
Anyway thanks for the link to the one you bought. The bezel on the front cover looks very thick though. Is that a bit awkward to use? I ordered a similar cheap Chinese one off eBay just to tide me over.

The only problems are swiping from the edge gestures (eg open side-bar swipe from right or notifications bar swipe down from top) which are difficult and a bit of trial and error at times. I am old school and use the 3 button navigation so not sure if gesture navigation is affected or not.
All things considered tho I prefer to use this (inexpensive) Chinese made case to protect my expensive new phone until such time as mid priced (£20 max) cases from popular brand names are widely available and are actually in stock.
P.S. for the first few days I before my case arrived i used a "sock" or "sleeve" repurposed with the fabric mesh bag that came free with my Anker 10,000mAh portable battery. Better than nothing.

I've got the VRS Hard Drop active on order, for the time being i'm just carrying it in a 'ShockSock' which to be fair does the job well

its very expensive to ship from the brs website
I've already chipped my hinge due to lack of protection the back leather on its own isn't enough

Direct from the VRS website, I got a 15% off code (SMILEAGAIN30) when I went on the site, I think it was $53 dollars all in for the case and postage. The discount basically gave me near free postage.
I went for the black version, shipping at the end of the month apparently...so ShockSock it is till that arrives
I just received one of the Chinese two piece black plastic ones that were shown in this thread. The frame for the front part is very stiff and while this means it will stay put, the amount of force needed to put it on has scared me from doing so. I don't want to scratch my phone putting a case onto it! Or am I worrying unnecessarily? I much prefer the softer gel ones.

Sorry to hear that. Do you know how it happened?

Dropped it lucky it wasn't more damage. I probably need an hinge case lol

I think you may be worrying unnecessarily about the front cover I have had the Chinese case on my fold2 for 3 weeks now and no marks visible (I only removed it to check after reading your post ). Also I left the factory fitted front screen protector on the glass so I guess i have the additional scratch protection provided by the film cover.
I'm not in the UK, but the Netherlands.
I'm currently using the Shocksock I had for the original Fold, now on the Fold 2. It doesn't fit as well as on the original, but it's OK.
I bought a Fitbag from Germany, but those things are precision-made, and even with Samsung's very thin leather back cover on the phone, the whole thing becomes too fat for the sleeve.
The VRS case looks nice. Has anyone received theirs yet?
Another nice-looking one is the Spigen thin case.
There's rarely a source for any of these cases in the Netherlands, so ordering from the US is expensive and is often fraught with extra charges at the door.
