You should read the thread in the Nexus 4 Accessories section on one of these battery covers. Some people had some very major issues, to the point that it destroyed their phone. Personally this makes me wary of trying any of the battery covers.

The thing you linked is completely different, it's a case which houses an extra battery to charge the phone. What the OP linked is just a replacement for the rear cover/backplate of the device.

waiting for white? Im thinking of the black one. I love the N5, but cant stand the smooth, no-grip hard plastic white. I didnt know it didnt grip like the black when I ordered. Hell, meet you for a beer and well swap!
Anyone have any experience with this product? Id really hate to get it and find out its some cheap knock off or somehow not compatible or causes some sort of damage to the phone.

But isn't it glued at some point? I remember that I read that somewhere on ifixit.
So it does sound very nice to be able to replace it but will it still hold without the glue ?

Are the sides of the black model different than the white? My white sides aren't matte at all. I thought the differences were only the back texture and earpiece color (I like the white earpiece but not the slick back).

The black one is fully mat. Unlike the white one. The white one has a white earpiece AND the sides around the phone are glossy.
BTW here is a vid about a guy who's detaching the backcover (it's for another purpose but you'll get it)

Fits great, I just got my green one in today. It feels great in hand and fits really really well. I'm thinking about getting another color. I really really like it, Ide take pics but i don't have a camera with batteries other than the one on my phone.
I know it doesn't protect the top and bottom of the phone but if your extra careful with your phone (which i am) you don't have to worry about it too much. it has raised edges so it will protect it from a direct face first fall
i have it in black it is very nice and came with a free screen protector that i screwed up trying to put on

yeah np ..i was worried about it to but only 4 bucks ill give it a shot and let ya know
I ordered one of these in black, thanks for posting!
I was having extremely difficult time in choosing which color of the device to go with...
I've had White and Black iPhone 4s before and now I have the Black iPhone 4S.
Through out my life... I've only had black phones... and I felt like White was a refreshing changes.
So, when I actually wanted to go with the White Galaxy S3... T-Mobile was actually backordered with the White device. So I only had an option of Blue of 16GB.
Also, I did my extensive research on which case and stylus to buy as well... so I've finally managed to go with a perfect match for our beautiful pebble blue.
I went with Atomic Blue of Otterbox and the combo of Elago Stylus with Pen and a extra tip.
Otterbox Defender is a amazing case... Not only this make the phone almost indestructible and makes the phone feel like a phone (added weight)
Sure, this case will add bulk and weight to the device, but remember that accidents can happen and this case is a investment for those who are clumsy.
Also, I think the color balance between pebble blue and the navy and green color of the Otterbox case makes it very unique.
I hope you enjoy the pictures and feel free to ask any questions. Oh and I am still debating if I should go with White one still...
You guys can convince me to stick with the pebble blue, instead of white.
(I made a poll option to help me to decide if I should keep the blue or exchange for white)

I'm using my stylus for s-memo. I was tempted to buy the galaxy note for T-Mobile, but I can just buy the stylus for my s3. It's not as accurate as the note, but it works! Best of all s3 is newer and faster!
So what do you mean by fading for white phones?

Very sharp! I have the same case except it is the Teal (ish, whatever color you'd like to call it) version of it. I have the White Galaxy S 3 in it and I like how it looks. I originally wanted the blue one, but after the employee there let me see both of them in my case I opted for the white. I'd post a picture but I'm not a the 10 post count lol.
How are you liking the stylus? Do they work well on the S 3 for actually writing and things like that?

I love it! It was only $12 @amazon. Honestly I bought this one over the other ones, because the feature of the built in pen and an extra tip as well. Also the color of the stylus (indigo blue) matches perfectly with the pebble blue s3.
Only downside would be when writing on s-memo its not 100% accurate. Meaning writing can be a little aliasing on the edges.
I tried comparing my girlfriend's galaxy note, this thing is super accurate (using s-pen) but using the elago stylus makes it aliasing as well. It's not a bad trade off. Can't complain for $12 and the quality.
I'd highly recommend it! 8/10 because of not being completely accurate.

Hey I have a few questions please about the Otterbox defender case :
- How much does it weight without the galaxy s3 in ? ( 80g, 100g ?)
- How thick is it ? ( add 1 cm to galaxy s3 or more ?)
- Does the screen protector built in can be replace by an other standard screen protect if it's damaged ?
Thank you.
Btw, it's look like a nice case !
Sorry for my english.

I've owned a few white phones in the past. After a year or so they just don't look so bright white anymore. Maybe that's not th case with the s3 but thwts why I personally stay away from white ones. That and white cars. They just highlight all imperfections and any dirt whatsoever.

Im not 100% sure how much it weighs. but it sure does add more weight to it. (I personally like heaviness of the phone)
Thickness is about twice as S3...
And screen protector is built in to the case itself... They are anti-reflection protector. You can take it out and use your own screen protector for problem.
The screen protector is there to be a protection from sand and etc...
I am not a fan of this screen protector, because it gives rainbow effect on the screen, but you'll be thanking this case when accident happens or when the sun is glaring on your phone.
I hope I've answered all your questions. Also, youtube has plenty video on the size comparison.

Thats what she said
I use the belt clip that came with Otterbox. It sure does look ridiculous on the belt... because it is damn big phone (although it's slim). But you know what, I've been told that the size matters
Anyways, you won't regret buying the Defender series... because Honestly, I think definer series offer better color options and it offers BETTER protection in real world.
Plus, $50 is pretty expensive, but getting from amazon... you can save about $20. so either way, you'll be able to save some money.
Keep us posted on which case you are going with... Also, I might buy SGP neo case, but I've been reading that these have problems with power/volume buttons... so I might skip and get the SGP thin air case instead. I will post up reviews and picture once all these cases arrive.
Also, I have Diztronic case as well (in matte blue). I will post a review and pictures up very soon!
Currently, I'm just with a cheap case from ebay and it fits quite well. I don't know if I'm ready to put 30/40 euros on a case by the way, quite expensive for a protection.
But don't worry, if I buy one, I will tell you
Edit: I just forgot to ask you something; some people said that there is a gap between the screen protector build in and the screen itself. Do you notice it or it was a random defect ?
Thanks.

I understand that you love you phone also, what color is your s3?
To answer your questions, yes that's definitely true. But, I have a extra screen protector on my phone itself.. (now I have to send it back for the dead pixels, and exchanging for the white one). I wouldn't go far as to say it's a defect, but the gap is VERY minimal. You'll be able to tell when you are just lightly tapping the touch screen. but it won't affect the sensitivity of the device itself.
If you don't like that, you can always remove the screen protector and use your own SP.
Also, I would like to know for those people who have voted for the poll.
Why did you guys vote for the white? instead of the blue?
Thanks for the answer.
I have a blue galaxy s3
Hey there!
I recently broke my screen (see this thread for picks before repair), and well I repaired it and I added some'n extra for good measure:
Unveiling the 2 tone model of the Droid Incredible 2. It is simply INCREDIBLE.
(Click on the images for larger version!)
(imgur album: http://imgur.com/a/Bxzte#0)
Advantages:
1) NO Verizon branding on my phone anymore! Take that Big Red!
2) Two colors, and the oh so coveted red!!!
Disadvantages:
1) As seen in picture 2, there is NO hole for the Front facing camera! I didn't notice this while assembly, else I could have scrapped off the paint a little. I still can do it by simply opening the back and removing the mother board, but I fear I may damage the digitizer or at the least it will look ugly. Plus, I hardly (if never) use it, so I should at least be happy for a working phone again! That looks rad in its new colors!!!
Bottom line: I am loving it!
Question:
Do you prefer me to keep it like this in 2 tones, (battery cover is black, while front is red) or make it red all the way!? If so, I have a spare, unused black battery cover that I will be willing to trade with someone for either cash or a spare red battery cover. Hmm... :fingers-crossed:
Peace!

Thanks! Though shattering my Dinc2's screen was a bad thing, it led to a lot more beautiful phone!! But I don't recommend others break their screen as well! :silly:
I went to full red when I rebuilt mine, but my black battery cover was not in good shape. My sister has a white dinc2 and thinks we should trade battery covers at christmas time so we have candy cane colored phones lol
Most of my "minor" issues after replacing the digitizer is due to the issues/defects of the digitizer. The digitizer panel has no slot for FFC and the symbols above the capacitive buttons are cut out, rather than being transparent. So, when I rotate the phone, the buttons don't rotate as those symbols are etched onto the digitizer, while that area is left transparent/translucent in the case of the original digitizer... That means that in all our ICS ROMs that have issues with capacitive button back lights, I will not have this problem of course, I will not be able to rotate the buttons either, which is not the biggest feature, honestly.
So, there you have it, no FFC (I can test the FFC works by shining a torch at that area, that causes the camera output to be a red glow on the screen! lame!) and no rotating buttons!
Haha, when they sent me my Dinc2 they said all they had was red with a black back. When I got the phone it was a fully assembled red phone, back and all, and they also had a black back cover in the Verizon packaging. Just.seen the other day its still sitting in my drawer with a sticker for 19.99 lol

Does it look "cooler" in full red, or cooler in red and black. I kinda feel full red is cooler and but it may be because my black back cover is very worn. I have an unused black battery cover that VZW sent in along with the phone, which already came with a black cover, much like your red phone... it is easier and cheaper for me to put that new black cover than splurge on a new red cover. soooo, what's better?
Now this, is a shut up and take my money moment.

Actually both the phones I had so far (Droid X2 and Dinc2) are sturdy and hence I never needed a cover to help grip it better and they don't break on falling once... or twice or thrice. Mine suffered a lot of abuse on concrete and finally gave up! I commend it and I in return it treated me by upgrading to this new sexy avatar!!! Nice.

I bought the Genuine HTC1 DD case and found that its really really tight sliding over my black HTC1
I got the centre section about 1/4 the way from the bottom up, before I had to start really forcing it so I decided not to keep going..
I gently pulled it off the phone and discovered it had scratched the bottom speaker curved corners each side....

I want to get this case for my Silver but after seeing this I'm having second thoughts. When I'm going around with people, being busy I can use this and when I'm not too busy I can use a pouch I planned but not sure now.
Sorry to hear that, I have the DD case as well, it also hasn't scratched my phone, fits nice and snug. White HTC One. (Rogers / Canada)
So they still haven't solved this.....
Happened to me a month or so ago

Happened to me too on the back luckily I was able to swap mine out and get a replacement bc of the back and hone button not working.

Well maybe new ones won't have the same problem. Most sellers are out of stock and I really want to buy this case.
And also some people doing it wrong all the time; you slide your phone from up not bottom. There's a big difference.
The following site has some in stock. Ordered mine yesterday and arrived today. Nice price too.

Lol it doesn't come with instructions and it shouldn't matter which way you slide it...

it shouldn't matter and i know it doesn't come with instructions but I want to help people with it nothing else.
I'm selling mine. PM if you want it. I don't really want to use a case on this beauty, lol!
Would you think that HTC would provide a replacement of the phone if the case which they manufacture, is scratching it? lol

My HTC1 developed stuck pixels, so I'm currently waiting on a replacement... I'll be putting the DD case on ebay
Ordered a Nillkin hard case instead as these have a good rep
I ordered cruzerlite Black, Clear and Blue but thinking of keeping one only and sell others two colors

Which cruzerlite? I got three as well, one red androidified, one red circuit android and one black circuit android.
Such a bummer to hear this. I'll be sure to be extra careful when putting mine on once it comes in
yes any tight slide on case can do this, I stay away from slide on cases. Especially if you ever go around sand.
Did any of the xda members see the red housing on sale online?
I tried but could not find it anywhere.
Need to convert my white N5 to red

Maybe just put a dbrand back on for now until they become available? But doesn't the back need to be taken apart pretty carefully? Meaning taking into account the adhesives and screws because LG made the battery not removable? I know you are looking to replace the back, but that also houses the antenna's and other things. If you do, please post and do a write up or how-to!

red dbrand is an option but i prefer not to use skins
AFAIK the aftermarket housing will come with those antennas. Once I get hold of a red housing i'll definitely post a how to.
else, the final option will be this

Nicely done! :good:
Sadly not yet. I've been searching eBay daily for one and nothing. I order a red official case though. Might just settle with that.

yes only battery cover..yet to find the frame
I am currently awaiting delivery of the red battery cover arriving for my black n5. I'll post up some pictures when it arrives to see what it looks like!
Might as well just buy a red one. I sold my black one when the red came out... I think it ended up costing me $75 to switch.

Mines arrived today! Fit is perfect and is certainly original LG.
Didn't do a DIY but it is fairly straightforward to change it over.
Here are some pics!
The basics were use a guitar pick to pry round the outside. It should click off. There is some small sticky pads at the bottom of the cover so that takes a bit more prying. Then the new cover just clicks on lol

Awesome!
From which seller did you buy? Did it came with all the antennas including NFC and wireless charging?
Did anyone found the sides too?
And what about speaker grill? Is it hard to replace?
Thanks

The sides and earpiece are going to very difficult. Assuming LG used the same stuff they used on the Nexus 4 to adhere the display to the frame you will be very likely to damage the frame. The earpiece also seems to be sandwiched between the frame and the glass according to the ifixit teardown pics.
It would be better and easier to find a display with frame for sale and just move the hardware over that way. But with the price of the display with frame you'd be better off selling your phone and buying a red one.

I was contemplating buying the housing but I can't justify $50 just for a color swap. Then I realized I could sell my white cover back to offset the cost. How much do you guys think I could sell my old cover for?
