Best case for White evo

I dont want a case that covers up the whole white back...that was the point of me buying the white one.
anyone have a white evo that has found a case that doesnt just completely make irrelevant the fact that you bought a white evo?

Lol you want the iphone bumper?

actually now that you mention it, yeah something like that.
Because all I really want is to protect the camera on the back from being protruded like it is so I could set it down and not worry about it.
I like the white back of the evo so I find covering it to be not desired.
i normally dont like any case but the camera being the way it is makes me want one.
any cases like a bumper that exist or evo?

Clear TPU case with some sort of pattern etched into it. Should look Very nice!

I was wondering the same, where are the bumper cases for the EVO? I haven't been able to find any.

I've got the Body Glove and it's pretty smooth, almost looks like there isn't a case on the phone at all.

Well I just got my case from amazon for my white evo.... Its an AMZER LILY WHITE CLEAR (this is the name of color lol) the case is awesome... Grip is exceptional and the white of the phone is shown thru the case but in a misty look, its a thick case also for drops... Try it out, u won't be disappointed... Oh and it was 13$ total...

I have the white EVO, and I'm using a clear TPU case like this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280528567748
It's clear but the back is frosted a bit, which i kinda like as it gives you some grip. the HTC logo still shows through quite nicely.
I also just ordered this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=400139892378
and this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=400140573026
I'll report back on the last 2 when I get them.

personally i wouldnt use a case like that as it doesn't protect the camera very well if at all. the first TPU case I bought was like that and I ditched it after I got a very small nick in the red bezel around the camera.

Just the one I'd have recommended, and they go for a song on eBay. I've tried out about a dozen different cases, and this is the one I keep coming back to. The corners are thick, and the texture is easy to hold. I don't like the snap-together clamshells, am a bit iffy about the clamp-from-the-back covers, and won't spend $30 and more for a case.
Now we just need a humpback for the big battery backs.

ill post my thoughts when i get it in, i like it because it looks Slim, its hard plastic, its rubberized.
i also ordered the white/clear hybrid tpu case.
will report back

Looks nice but doesn't seem to protect cam at all
I have the frosted tpu and its not bad
Super cheap. Too

Where can I find a mesh case?

I came across this while searching on the internet.
http://www.fonearena.com/blog/41554/review-official-mesh-case-for-samsung-galaxy-s-ii.html
I was wondering if there's something similar for the Galaxy Nexus?
Ebay and Amazon always give me TPU cases and stuff and I don't like most of them.
Thanks!

Has anyone tried this? Looking for pics of the top/bottom to see if it covers the whole phone. Got a similar one for the GSII and was not happy with how much it left exposed.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App

That looks nice. Any other pictures available for this? I'd like to see how it looks from the front of the phone. It does look slightly more bulkier than a a Case-Mate Barely There or Incipio Feather though.

Can anyone tell if the eBay one is fake? I heard there were plenty of fake ones for the S2.
The packaging/wording in the picture looks a bit suspicious to me. I haven't seen this anywhere else also.

they need to put some pics of the phone inside the case, all the pics have the phone on its back

You can tell from one of the pics that the top is half exposed. I think this is to be expected for a slim profile case. If you want full body protection you need to look at bulkier case options.

That mesh case just popped up on ebay a few days ago. Is it really a genuine Samsung product? The official one for the SGII looks much slicker than this.

Looks fake...

this is real.

This is the case I want! But will it fit the Verizon Galaxy Nexus??

Does the Samsung official site have this mesh case listed?

Battery/back cover advice

I prefer a rubber/grippy back to my phones, and the current white Note back is too slippery/shiny for my taste. Does anybody know of any back cover replacement (not a case, and not with the screen protector attachment) I could buy? Thanks!

There are a lot of case that will add that grippy feel your looking for but I think your looking for a simple battery cover replacement. There are a lot of those out there but I dont remember seeing any that has a rubberised texture your looking for. You might have better luck searching for a 3M like film that will cover your battery cover, I've seen a few that offer carbon fiber that might help with the grip but not exactly the rubber feel your looking. I will keep my eyes open if I see one and let you know.
Found this one:
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Leather-Skin...924042?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item27c32851ca
(Leather but still for grip)
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Black-twill-...Accessories&hash=item27c19aaacc#ht_500wt_1287
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/white-PU-lea...ccessories&hash=item2a1b8d698c#ht_4415wt_1037
(white)
Also Just a reminder that these are for the international version, If you have the AT&T version I've heard that the battery door snap ins are a little different.

DX do lots of these, I have a this one, but there are many others. I bought a few of these and figured I would just swap them out as they got scratched. keeps the phone nice and slim and they actually work out cheaper than cases!

I've got a couple of these, not the same brand since mine has the Samsung logo on them. There nice because the do add just a little thickness which i like because it raised the camera just a touch so it doesn't get scratched. I think the OP wanted something with a little more grip, but I don't find these nearly as slippery as the gloss white cover.

Just phenomenal everyone, thanks for the input. I think I'll try one of the metal covers! Just worried about too much added thickness, and maybe color clashing since I see some black around the border of the cover, and I have a white note. Can you guys comment on the quality of the cover? The metal cover thread seems to have conflicting reports, from 'beautiful' to 'lacking in quality.' thanks again.

Metal covers = attenuated cellphone signal = worse battery life. There's a trade off.
I'm looking for a battery cover that has a matte finish. Haven't found any unfortunately.

For those using these replacement back cover, does it still fit the Samsung Car Dock?
I am curious if these covers add extra thickness such that it will not fit the dock anymore.

Thats the first thing i worry about when getting a case / cover. Most docks are designed for the naked phone, so your stuck between a protected undockable phone or a scratched up one.....no way im taking the case off everytime i charge the phone, geez...i cannot wait for wireless charging to become the norm...

Transparent Battery door???

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

Battery back door replacement with softtouch ?

Hello,

cheers, Peter

I don't know if there is a replacement back you can get for it, but there are a few lightweight cases Ive seen that have that kind of texture. You might have some luck with that... and you won't lose NFC antenna (which is attached to the back plate.)

You also have to think the Qi wireless receiver is on the battery cover, maybe nfc as well.
Sent from my LG-E980 using xda app-developers app

I would love to have this too - soft touch cover that includes Qi and NFC! As others have said, a lightweight thin case might help. I just ordered an Incipio feather case that should be here in a couple of days so I can report back. It looks similar to what I had for my Galaxy S3 and I liked that a lot.

i searched for something similar but didn't find any :crying:
i don't like to put a case on but a soft touch back cover only for extra grip

Given the nature of LG phones, I doubt it's going to be popular enough to receive the kind of aftermarket battery cover that some of the other popular phones out there get. The closest thing you can probably find to get a grippier back would be this:
http://www.buychina.com/items/lg-f2...ticker-diy-color-film-color-paste-ruprqqrojil
Basically a 3M film, like what dbrand makes. Alternatively you could try Armorsuit/Skinomi's carbon fiber skins, but I think they're rather overpriced.

I did see on a different forum that if you get the Xtremeguard full body protection kit, then the section that covers the battery door can make it a lot grippier, even if you don't use the screen protector portion. I saw it for like $4 or $5 on ebay. One concern I had though was that the back portion looked bigger than the battery door, which means it will extend past the door and cover the sides of the phone - this would make it messy to remove the battery cover, if you do that regularly.

Yeah, came across the same problem, couldn't find good replacement back so I wrapped mine in black suede. Looks and feels awesome.

How did you do that? i.e., where did you get the material and how did you install?
I just got my Incipio Feather case yesterday. Kinda disappointed. Fit and finish and quality of materials is superb. But to me, the basic reason to get this case was to increase grip. And even though it's soft touch, it is almost as slippery as the phone itself! Might have to get a traditional TPU case and just live with the dust accumulation, or try something like you did.

I bought the suede from a JoAnn and craft store and used the 3M super77 multi purpose spray adhesive. To me it works out perfectly as the suede is very grippy. I can however understand if some people don't like it.

I'm using incipio case and I can confirm that the the wireless charging and NFC function working fine with the case.
