Galaxy S II Metal Battery Cover (Black)

Just thought I would post here..
Just purchased a Black Metal Battery Cover for my phone..
Always wanted to buy one, cause I thought it would add more of a "premium" feel, (add some weight to the device) and just think the Stock one is to flimsy..
Just ordered it online from ebay.. Will post my findings when I receive it..
If anyone has already ordered and received this, please feel free to post in the thread.. I am interested to know how the phone feels and looks after..
Thanks!

Looks good!!!

Please do, these look great!

I am thinking about ordering one of these too. On the page as we speak lol
New ebay listing here:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Metal-Bac...ain_0&var=&hash=item721838e116#ht_1640wt_1396
So if anyone already has one can you tell us how it is? Is the cover actually metal or is it just finished plastic? This is affect whether I buy it or not...

looks good. but if its metal, clipping it on might damage the device.
plus the cover is only for the original battery, those with 2000 mah battery will not be able to fit it.

I ordered one last too, the blue one cause I thought it looked quite smart.
I'll post pictures once I get it, which should be within a couple of weeks hopefully!

Looks good. <3
They will be the most beautiful effect on my S2

Will definitely post my experience once I receive it. I heard it makes the device a bit thicker. I saw a short review on YouTube.
If this is the case, I am totally fine with it since I have the extended 2000mah battery coming in any day now.

Anyone of you received your new cover yet? Interested to see how it looks and the quality of the cover....

I ordered mine from here http://www.trait-tech.com/product/T-SAMI9100-9012J__all-aluminium-back-cover-back-housing-for-samsung-i9100-galaxy-s2-black.html
I ordered on Nov. 19 and it took 10 days to arrive to Vancouver from Singapore. Could've use Hong Kong Post (14-20 days) but SingPost can deliever within 7-20 days.
The aluminum metal back creates a premium look and feel. Also add some weight and slight thickness to the phone that make it more sturdy in the hand compared to the original plastic back. There's chrome around the camera and also around the edge of the whole metal back. It's pretty good eye candy.

Just to make it clear sammy original 2000 mah bat and this cover will not fit...

I ordered the black one last night. Looks very sleek. I'm looking forward to it.

Looks really classy, too bad I have the extended battery. CNN [dot] cn also sells this cover for $13 BTW.

I'm using an unlocked Samsung Galaxy SII running Gingerbeard 2.3.4 (brought from expansys.ca, the unit is from the UK) and I am only using the stock 1650 mAh battery.

i have buy one from http://www.leboncoin.fr/telephonie/263002771.htm?ca=12_s
it's perfect like the original one

But do you think it will be safer?
(phone might break; metal => more inflexible?)
Interested to hear you opinions

Mine came in this morning and fits perfect. Love it!
I read in another thread someone said they had issues with GPS with this back on, I have none, it locks in just as fast as with the plastic one.

looks amazing, i'll buy one of this.

battery cover with kick stand?

Anyone know if you can get a replacement back cover with a kickstands built in? I've seen the cases with the kickstands on eBay, but none of them are nice. Would be good if I cOuld have a new back cover with kick stand then place my own mesh case over it. Then pull it off when I want to stand the note up.

Have you seen this:
http://www.mugen-power-batteries.co...or-samsung-galaxy-note-with-battery-door.html
It will add bulk, but it has the kickstand, and will give you about 2 days worth of battery life.

any back covers with kickstand for stock size battery?

bump
i would love to know if anybody did find a battery cover with integrated kickstand

Would love that!
+1 Would adore one of those, with adding only a minimum of bulk

Ebay has plenty

We're not looking for a case. we want a kickstand, which is a part of phone's back battery cover. Like HTC Evo 4G has. Like this one, only for stock size battery: http://www.mugen-power-batteries.com/mugen-power-4500mah-extended-battery-for-samsung-galaxy-note-with-battery-door.html#

+1 on this.
I have been searching and haven't found any so far. If anyone did find something, feel free to share!

I was just gonna say the guy seems to be illiterate...despite the fact, it's been clarified at least 3 times in these couple of pages we don't want any cases he's still unable to grasp the concept

I'm also looking for it, if I find something I'll share
Should we contact any manufactor to give them the idea?

By all means - go for it! Seidio, Mugenpower are among the ones, who usually make stuff like that

I am looking for one too. I dont think there are any at the moment. I am seriously thinking about getting the scosche stickick and stick it to the back of the note. It is an iphone stand but should look decent on the back of the note.

most of us cant use that, because we have other accessories, which require fixed phone dimensions and would be rendered unusable, if dimensions changed. I'm talking about things like car mount, belt pouch, etc'.

I have to agree with this. I just ordered a replacement back cover with faux leather. It only add LESS than 0.5 millimeter to the thickness, but the Note no longer fits in Samsung Original Car Dock.
I assume having a kick-stand will add more thickness.

Hey guys,
Been looking for the same thing and the closest that I have found so far is this:

It doesn't seem to be on sale on this particular website (although I found it on another site selling for "Rp. 450,000" - I don't have a clue what currency that is though and how it fairs in terms of price, but it seems to be the closest design to what I have been searching for), and if I owned it I would probably jettison the cover that protects the screen some how so that it is literally just the back cover with a kick-stand!!!

its not a battery cover which *replaces* the stock cover. this is a regular cover, which goes on top of the back cover and makes phone bigger. As already stated many times - we cant use that. And also you didnt look hard enough - there is probably like a dozen types of those covers out there i've seen.
That currency is Indian rupee and Rp 45 is approximately $1 USD.

Wrong. This replaces battery cover.

Update received the case decided to stick with my original use one and do the standard battery cover cut off just below the camera.
Nothing wrong with the Official flip case apart from my phone spends a lot of it's day in a car holder and the 'flip' doesn't fold flat up to the back of the phone when in the car holder.

Thanks for the tip. I bought the flip case and it has an exclusive feel to it and it fits very well with the Samsung Extended 2000 mah Battery Kit.

they very nice but I'm convinced the original more. I do not know why

I have been using this case for about a year. It's design is very cool and all, doesn't make your phone as big as other cases. However, the main drawback of this case is that it lets the dirt in between and because of that it left a lot of dot scratches on the bottom back side (especially around the dynamic) and on the sides of the rear housing. Also, the rubber volume and standby buttons get stretched and it doesn't look very good.
So, from my experience i wouldn't recommend this case.

Wow that actually looks quite good! Just bought one.

Really a good looking flip case and the price also nice

This looks nice!
Do you know if there's one like this (rubberised) with the flip on the side, like a wallet/book/diary -like?

The only ones which are not battery cover flips where mercury ones. Try ebay for words: mercury flip s2 .

Friends i didnt big picture, can you share another links, you have ?

In my opinion, Samsung official leather case is much more comfortable in the daily use and it protects your smartphone in an excellent way.
I bought it two years ago and it is still now as brand new.

really nice, but i don't think it offers a good bump protection

Official Samsung 3000mAh extended battery arrived

Just got the Samsung extended battery for my gs3. took almost 2 weeks for shipment from UK.
Awesome thing is that my existing case, which i got from Spring when i bought the phone, fit. Its a very tight fit, but it does fit. Battery is slightly heavier and the phone is slightly bulkier, but still feels nice. I will test out the battery for a few days and see how it performs, the results will be posted here.
For now, here are some pictures:

The difference is 2-3mm. Its very minimal. So small that I can fit the case I bought for the phone with original battery. The case is hard rubber, but does stretch just a little.

Without power saving mode.

Ya, I was in the woods collecting stuff.

What day did you order and what shipping did you use?

It would be interesting that somebody be brave enough to disassemble the battery to see how much plastic is added.
I seen in Galaxy Nexus forum how someone disassembled extended original battery and it was filled with plastic, not the actual lithium ions. That battery fitted original cover.

This is where i was at since 3:00a...with the extended battery...

Not with power savings mode.

just curious, what kind of case is that in one of the pictures? When I lost my old galaxy, I had an Incipio Dual-Pro, but idk if that will fit.

Its the rubber one that sprint sell.
Here is a picture of my battery life

Who knows if and when about the battery kit is also available in other colorsTitanium grey, etc?

I emailed 1800 Memory, one of the ebay sellers ([email protected]) about the kit in Titanium Grey yesterday and this was the response:
"Only White, Blue and Sapphire Black colors have been released.
Currently only White and Blue colors are in stock.
Thanks

I went ahead and ordered the Kit with White Back Cover and I think it will look pretty darn good with the silver trim on the side and grey front.

Looking for a leather/rubber/faux leather back

I'm looking for a similar back cover like what they have on the Samsung Note 3 which has a really good grip:
for example: http://www.3g.co.uk/tinyimages/Samsung/Galaxy-Note-3-Back.jpg
I'm not looking for a case/cover, just want a replacement back cover.
The problem is I'm finding the phone hard to grip and slides off easily because of the smooth plastic back.

Looks like we are lucky: http://www.sammobile.com/2014/01/31/black-editions-of-the-galaxy-s4-and-galaxy-s4-mini-announced/
If someone will see an opportunity to buy the back cover separately, let us know!

WISHES CAME TRUE!
Now, just need to locate where I can buy just the back cover on its own...
Anyone know?

I only found bad quality custom back covers for my Samsung S4 mini. I think there isn't a good solution out there at the moment but it would be a great accessory

edit>wrong post

You can try expansys uk, They have the S4 version on pre order, I will also try to check if these are available in hong kong and china in the next few days.

Does anyone know if the Black Edition (faux leather back) is also compatible with other protective covers? (plastic (tpu) covers).
It looks like the leather back has a slightly different edge/rim height (the stitched part) compared to the standard ones

I don't have any cases to try on, but I do have the phone; the 'stitching' is just molded plastic bumps that are at most 0.5mm tall.
All cases should fit with no problem.

Thanks. (i know it's not really stitched but it was easier to point to that part by saying so )
But i did not really mean the fake stitches' height itself but the whole lowered part around the stitches, the part that takes a fall down instead of a smooth curl compared to the default edition.

It probably won't be a problem because that's not a really important part for a covers unless the leather cover also changes the thickness of the mobile.

does anyone have experience with the leather edition? like does it get hot fast?
is it recommendable? it looks nice

You can buy it in http://www.rbconnective.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=654
Here, most people from the S4 forum, have bought this cover, and looks and feels amazing!
In the image I see "duos" printed, but i don't know if it will come with or without it... I will write to clarify it.
Edit: The seller confirmed that comes with that print.
