So I've seen ways to decorate your own case, but I hate snap on cases. I'd prefer to decorate the battery cover, and then put on a TPU clear case over it. I wondered though, any reason doing this to the battery cover would be a bad thing? Have a bad effect on the phone?

Any thoughts?

I've tried browsing a few pages in, and either I'm stupid and just missed it (very possible ), or there hasn't been a thread about just back covers themselves.
I'm curious to know if there are any replacement back covers for the phone that aren't just plastic. I was hoping to see if there was a more rubbery back cover I can slap on, or (and this may be out there) a brushed aluminum-type of back cover, like the ones found on the HD2 and Nexus One. Personally a black brushed aluminum back cover would be so nice...
I ask because I've tried the gel case from Tmobile and saw one of my coworkers' hard case protector, and I didn't like either of them. I ultimately want to avoid a case alltogether and just find a nice back cover that has a better feel to it, and possibly add just a tad bit more weight to the phone so it feels better while holding it. The cheap plastic back cover just isn't doing it for me.
Thanks, and apologies in advance if I blatantly missed this being discussed elsewhere.
I'm sure soon enough these back covers will pop up like mushroom on ebay, but nothing on the horizon at the moment.
There's a DIY thread for painting the extra back cover with rubber coat that looks pretty decent.

Lots of folks here have the mesh case that IMO the best looking with just the right thickness for the Galaxy S.

I just got something similar to the mesh cover.

While it's not really a back cover, it's got a bit of a rubbery feel and very low profile compared to gel cases and "full" plastic covers.
I don't really like both stock back covers that came with the phone.
I'd much rather have aluminum or rubberized back cover.
I'm not talking about shells that are dime a dozen but actual back (some call it battery) cover.
Anyone came across such a thing?
I'm waiting for something like this as well, I generally don't like using cases, but either I've gotten way more clumsy (possibility) or this phone is extra slippery. A rubber coated back cover would be perfect.
I would like one but i use the case to cover the fake chrome.
Quick question? Do they sell different color/ design hard battery covers that would replace the stock battery cover? I am not looking for a protective case. When I try to search for one it always thinks I'm asking for a skin/cover. Thanks.
Not that I have seen. Best I've seen so far is a replacement battery cover, so if you wanted to hack yours up, you could.
Hello all, as you know the sgs2 looks pretty sweet without a cover and i was wondering if anyone knew of alternative back covers are sold. Basically when you lay a naked sgs2 down you risk scratching the camera lens. Can we purchase a thicker battery cover? Or even a padded one? Just as a different choice to buying a case to cover the entire phone.
Look forward to your replies!

if you buy the official 2000mah battery, it comes with a new battery case and because the battery is thicker, the back cover extends out by a couple millimeters covering the camera
So I went and bought the Mugen 3900mAh Extended Battery for CDMA version (LTE) and love it, the battery life is awesome.
Here in lies the problem.. the back cover is ugly and is useless as ****
-1st the kick-stand is retarded; why would I want to use this trash and its flimsy as hell
-2nd the back cover takes up useless space thus making the phone look like a 'whale' (which I don't mind but wont fit any case )
So any solution? I have tried the Trexcell TPU Cover Case and it was close to fitting but the back cover but looks like its made out of too much plastic. Is there a cover that will fit the 3900mAh battery or a case that will fit the 'whale' coverback?
I did try the phone without the back cover with the Trexcell and it fits very good so could I use it without the cover? Is that dangerous?
Ideas?
Well I Didn't see any cases.
Have to where it naked
