Extended battery skins (For clip) or case

Hey guys,
I know a lot of you are looking for this.
I have found a site which has these in stock and is selling. I bought two.
http://www.mrcellphoneunlocker.com/V2/products.php?product=TB_EX
Pretty cheap if you ask me.

They all look pretty poorly cut... maybe if they done better it would be worth it, but looking at all the jagged cuts on those skins... it would be cheaper to just buy one of ebay for less and poorly cut the thing myself.

Im lazy

True. But I rather save $10 bucks. and get 2 if needed.

Money should always trumps lazyness. $3 vs $13...

ehh i just cut mine i wish they came out with one that actually covers the battery.. anyone find one yet?

LMAO this is some sort of joke right? What moron would pay $13 for that?

I had done my own cut back 15 days ago, photos are outdated but you get the idea. In addition, I had ran a lighter around the freshly cut edges to smooth out the lines. It's better looking in person, that's for sure.

Shrug. I just buy from by buddy. I have 2. He only sells black though.
So far, Ive had mine from his pre-release ones. and its holding up quite well.
They can be seen on: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320689127257&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT
Those are the ruff cut pics. I dont think hes had time to update pics because hes had some family and whatnot. But, for the price. $13 vs 25.

I'm also selling them for $10 shipped.
-Mobile on my Bolt sportin' some goodies-

I'm actually waiting for this:
http://www.seidioonline.com/category-s/5448.htm
Seidio is going to have their active case for the ThunderBolt which will cover the battery more than likely because they just released pictures of their SURFACE case and it covers the battery. Check it out and let me know what you think.

Bumper case

I know that this topic has been discussed before so sorry for a repeat thread but has anyone discovered a bumper case yet for our phone or perhaps tried out a case for a different phone that fits ours?
Perhaps if we get enough people we can contact sgp about making their neo hybrid ex case for the e4gt..

Look on ebay or google it. their are literally thousands of different bumpers for the e4gt
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App

Ebay does in fact have bumper cases, but none with an open back.
Modifying (cutting out the back) the existing ones from what I understand makes the surrounding edges loose.

their are a bunch on ebay that do have the back cut out cant remember who the seller/manufacturer is though. I think this is one http://www.ebay.com/itm/Smoke-Black...ccessories&hash=item35b7e3ef5a#ht_4330wt_1185

If you happen to spot them please post the link. I've looked high & low & cannot find them for the E4GT.
The link you posted has the smoke backing.

I have yet to see a bumper case despite searching ebay and Google... Maybe I'm just missing them?

I've got three of these (there as cheap as 3.50 shipped if you dig), the green/clear, black/clear and a frost/frost. I've got a white/clear on the way for my white ET4G. I like them personally. Not exactly like the iPhone bumper cases but close enough.

Pictures speak volumes. Can take more if wanted/needed of the other colors.

They actually look pretty good in the photos. How is it for keeping the phone thin?

That case looks amazing. Just what I was looking for. But when I search on Ebay all of them have a back to them, it seems like your case is the bumper only. I can't find one like yours anywhere on Ebay. Help please

Seems fine to me, then again I've only had my ET4G since 1/8 and I came from an Evo with a tumor (extended battery) so ANYTHING would seem thin to me.

I'm at work which blocks ebay links but most of the links in this thread point to a version of the case I have. When I get home later (or my notebook at lunch) I can post a link to the exact auction for my green case.

So is that the one with the clear back? If so you can't even tell, it looks like it has an open back.

It is the one with the clear back. I'll get a picture of it off the phone to hopefully capture better how clear it is. In person you can tell its there but IMHO it looks very nice and clean.

Here is a link to the green bumper case I have pictured.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEON-GREEN-...NG-EPIC-4G-TOUCH-D710-PROTECTOR-/400250640556
The attached hopefully gives a better idea of how "clear" the back plastic is. I personally like the added protection for the camera went setting the phone down on a table.

Can you take pictures of the sides please I want to see how it covers the volume and power buttons.

Hope these help, kind of hard to get decent pictures that close without a macro lens.
I should mention that I personally have no trouble with button usage on this case. Though truth be told I've had this type of case on my phone since I walked out of the Sprint store with it.

What are the odds that I could remove the back of it without compromising the integrity of it?? In your opinion..

I honestly have no idea.
Totally taking a guess I FEEL it would loose quite a bit of integrity. While the back is sturdy I can bend it if pushed hard enough. The TPU/Gel/Candy 'bumper' i feel wouldn't have anything to pull it back together and would likely loose shape over time. Then again that whole last bit is my opinion and me more or less talking out my ass. For about or less than 4 bucks shipped I'd say its worth ordering one and giving it a shot if you're really curious about it.
Good luck!

Aluminum /plastic case

Just joined the SGS3 forum, not sure if it's been posted, just want to share this new case that I have just purchased, it's good for the looks, thin and very light weight, but will not take much of a drop, the clips that holds the aluminum are rather thin.
Anyway here are some picture.

Beautiful, how much does it cost?

hmmm
intreested in more info/pics

It cost me HKD 128 (USD 16)

How secure is the connection between the bumper and the back? From the pictures, seems like it would disconnect if you dropped it.

Ahhh. I've been searching ebay, no luck in finding this

there are many cases for mobile phone sold in china and hong kong that you won't find on ebay, and many more that's only available in china only.

Looks good. I like aluminum stuff, but doesn't it affect signals somehow?

Nice I really like the look

Nice find? Cheap Hong Kong bumpers in several colors $1.66 free shipping

I've taken a lot from this forum so I'm using every chance I can get to try and give something back.
I don't know if this is a good deal or if it has already been posted, anyways... I found this on eBay:
http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350621601533&clk_rvr_id=426595961112
It comes in several colors and only costs 1,66$, and shipping is free aswell, at least to my location (Germany, EU), just ordered 3 of them so I have different color options for my S3

I have one of these and I'm not a fan at all. Idk why the upper corner is open, but it's very annoying having one corner completely unprotected. Also, it doesn't hold very strong. The choice of silicon rather than tpu for the front part (the back is hard plastic) was not a good one, in my experience silicone is not as sticky or as tight fitting as tpu and causes your phone to pop out fairly easily. Overall, I would not recommend it.

The defender screen protector sux, it makes the display look grainy and makes the screen have a rainbow effect also, i bought it and sold it and got a commuter and used a normal screen protector

Did not get the chance to post this before xda went down...
I thought it looked like a half decent design so I ordered orange/black, Hope I am more satisfied with it than civicvx94

Well it's cheap, so you won't be out much if you don't like it..lol I just prefer full body protection or at least all the corners, as they're the most likely to take a hit if it falls.

The reason some cases have one corner open like that is because they were designed for the Korean market Galaxy S3, which has an extendable DMB antennae.
It's a liability for the rest of the world, but a necessity for the Korean market.

Mine arrived today. It's a weird little bumper though. I ordered the orange and black one as I thought it looked kinda cool but the colors are inverted. What's up with that?
Also, it's like they got the bumper from the picture, left if for 3 years in the sun and then sent it to me, colors are all faded.
Also, as someone said before, there's one corner unprotected; God knows why. (EDIT: And so does the user above me, didn't read his comment.)
I'll throw this away probably but thanks for the tip haha.

Not bad.. I might actually try it since my aluminum bumper block GPS signal

bastards... im still waiting for mine but guess itll be the same. I actually ordered this one cause the design (espec. colour) looked better than the other common bumpers on ebay. but judging from your post its probably the same one :/

One corner is unprotected because South Korean version of the S3 has an antenna for DMB.
DMB is basically a service that allows smaller devices to watch TV, almost every single portable devices has it in Korea.

Precisely... and the South Korean version is a little thicker than the international versions too...this might be why these bumpers do not hold as tightly on them...

Sweet looking official accessories!

Stumbled over this a few minutes ago. They all look pretty amazing IMHO and it's kinda interesting that HTC will be shipping an external battery. Hope that's not an indication of poor HTC One battery life.

maybe im wrong, but i would guess that it's unlikely there will be any bumpers from main manufacturers considering the phone is very thin at the edges and also the fact that it gets narrower at the edges (ie. not constant thickness)

There doesn't seem to be any official pouch at the moment which is unfortunate. I like my phone to be nude when I use it but be protected in my pocket.

Bro, check on http://www.pdair.com they sell high quality leather pouches. I'm like you and I like my phone to be naked and only be covered by a pouch so that people can see the device I have (I know, it sounds kind of egocentric) but also, I like to see my phone as it is, without anything covering it except the screen protector
The products are in production and expected to be released soon, I will definetly get one from them

I'm really loving that HTC is putting out their own accessories as well, I'm personally getting the flip case.
I never use cases for usual usage, but I'd like to have a kickstand since I plan on also using this for a very tiny but very portable working/entertaining interface. Like I usually jot down a few notes about appointments and lectures, as well as I like watching stuff on my phone

flip one looks gorgeous but they should make one without kickstand. they'd be surprised if they know that not many people watch long duration videos on their phones.
