Anyone know were i can buy battery cover door for sprint samsung galaxy s2 epic 4g ?
I am looking for different colors back or aluminum .. I see them on ebay but none says sprint epic 4g ?
will these fits or not ?
thanks
I like to have a spare OEM battery cover just in case mine breaks a tab or something.
The last one I saw was sold on Ebay for $18.50.
I haven't looked for one in a couple of weeks, but they were not readily available
anywhere.
I'll try looking again.
If it doesn't say it's for the SE4GT for Sprint, it won't fit, and/or won't have the proper script on it.
Thanks - wish they can make them for sprint epic 4g there are so many for the other version..
Thanks will see if my local sprint store have any ....
I'd like to know this too. Love the phone, hate the build quality. A snazzy soft touch or aluminum battery door / case would be rad.
Regarding the build quality, that may just be perception, and not reality.
It may feel flimsy because it is light, and not made of titanium and other exotics.
But if you think about it, it's got to be made to withstand every day happenings, which I feel it does.
Why can't they make aluminum doors for s2 epic ? there are millions for ATT and T mobile but non for epic 4g
They should make it compatible for certain hardware like doors - batteries - etc
Just found the stock OEM Battery cover over HERE

The price ain't bad compared to other prices I've seen, and it's always good to have a spare laying around.

Thanks but i would just like to buy one and pay for it than mess aroung trying to mod a battery door.
Ebay has att s2 for $4 - $8 range..
If you want to change the look of your battery cover you could pick up a sample of 3M Di-Noc off of eBay. Check out a couple of videos on YouTube about the stuff.
I'm also wanting an aluminum battery cover, maybe a carbon fiber weave...

Sorry 3M Di-Noc off?????? huh? can u explain....
3M Di-Noc... think of it as a bad ass phone skin. Its primary use is on import tuner cars to give practically any surface a carbon fiber texture and feel. Multiple colors and super easy to work with. They warranty the stuff in automotive applications against fade and adhesion. Seriously there are many clips on YouTube of people playing with thus stuff.

Anyone get one of these for their E4GT? I think that flap would be pretty annoying, no?
so, it wouldn't fit the E4GT? any other leather options for our phone?

Depends on what you want... I haven't order one of these (i'm happy with the cases I have at this point), but cases.com has a couple "leather" changes (flip, slip cover). I've used flip covers (some without the extra flap to lock the cover down), but this is such a thin phone I'm reluctant to use them.
So someone was looking for a wallet case a while back and this one,
http://www.accessorygeeks.com/galaxy-s2-leather-wallet-case-pouch-id-slots-blk.html
Looks interesting... And it comes in 4 different colors. Unfortunately ut is generic for Galaxy S 2, so it might not fit...
EDIT:
I remember the case I got without the extra flap... It was from boxwave for my old Touch Pro 2. Doesn't seem they make one for our phone. They do have "Manila Samsung Galaxy S II, Epic 4G Touch Leather Envelope" though. Interesting.
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)

(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...
I'm hoping for a Incipio feather release, I've pretty much always had one!

Plan to get a brushed aluminum case from clove. Would link but bookmark isn't on phone.
Anyway, should give the phone a premium feel, hopefully without messing around with the signal

I was watching youtube videos about Galaxy Note with flip cover and while at first i kinda liked how it looks, but later i decided that it isn't comfortable to use the phone with it in a hand
Thought about the flip case, but it doesn't appear to offer any kind of drop protection as it's exposed around the edges.
I don't very often drop my devices but if I do I'd like something like the a gel case around the edges at least.

Sure that's an original, as that one was supposed to come in only two colors?
Flip Cover is a cover for large phones and it was a great product when launched for Galaxy Note. It gives a nice and improved look for Galaxy S3 and you might use it to fool your friends into thinking that you’re holding a book. It is available in two colors so that you can easily match it with your Galaxy S3 model’s color.

I always thought that the flip covers are not that good in trying to use 2 hands to type etc.
I would get a hard back cover of some sort, but haven't seen anything appealing...

Getting one of these. Cheap & cheerful. Don't know if I'm getting the S3 yet as I am happy with my Note, but want to be prepared. ( Nice to see the trader being honest about the material used )

I'm likely going to do a casemate toughcase again. Have one on the sgs2 and not a bad thing to say about it.
Hello all,
Does anyone know if a replacement back cover is available in metal? Not a case that goes over the back cover but a metal version of the back cover?
Sounds like an awesome idea to me for that premium feel!
Thanks, John.
I have found some on ebay but i'm not sure if i'm allowed to share the links here, anyway, it's not hard to find them there at all. Good luck!
wouldn't a metal cover interfere with the radios?
The quality of original back cover is too bad it's like egg shell :|

They make the back cover out of plastic so the NFC can work properly. So if you use NFC, having a metal case would be a bad idea

No problem with NFC, WiFi, GPS and signal strenght.
Yes.. I have one on order
on amazon . com search for - Graphic Case Hard Skin Case Cover Pouch - Metal Aluminum Steel Shiny Reflective - Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini i9190 MINI VERSION! -
It is a back cover, not a case despite the wierd description. This is closest I could find. Super cheap and labled as plastic and aluminum so I am hoping its all metal on outside. I agree that the backs are flimbsy.. I have 3 batteries that I constantly switch out and taking it off and on all the time has caused it to crack. Hoping that the metal does not bend. ... we shall see!
There are many, just search in google images by "i9195 aluminium door".
