CHEAPEST battery cover? Even non NFC? - LG Optimus G Pro

Well, I can't find any cheaper cover with NFC and Wireless Charging than the one that is $38 shipped from Spain, which also has a 2-3 week delivery.
Anyone here have an extra back cover (for example, you got the flip cover and don't need the original), in the States, who would sell it?
Not wanting to have to wait nearly 3 weeks, so US or Ca only, please PM me or drop a line here.
Sorry this is not a buy/sell forum/section but as we all know, that goes straight to Swappa, where you can't sell parts, so please pardon me.

Cheapest cover? ... duct tape. Want it to look decent? I'd suggest looking at cases. Amszon has em for dirt cheap with quick delivery, or you could get lucky and find a case at a kiosk in your local mall.

Since the posting is from February, this may be a late news, but you can get an AT&T flip cover with the nfc, wireless charging, and automatic sleep/wake for $20. It comes as a optimus g pro logo flip cover attach to a original optimus g pro back cover.

Does any one wants to sell theirs?
Thanks

I think the only place you're going to find a replacement is through LG. Sorry, wish I could help. If you put the back cover on and then put a case over it will it be good enough to use for now?

Thanks, that's what I'm doing.. I went to AT&T store and bought a back cover.
Cool! How much was it?
And don't forget, there is an ultimate, universal back cover for any phone: DUCT TAPE.
Just buy a case for your phone and then place your cover on and then the case and everything will stay just on just peachy
It will probably be cheaper than buying the OEM backplate from LG.

And less messy than Duct Tape..ehem ehem...
It was $30 from AT&T store, and it's pretty nice
Is it an aftermarket part or an OEM / LG part? I guess it fits the same right? Is it still textured? The case feels kinda flimsy, I kind of want one as a spare in case anything happens while taking it off and putting it back on.
Kamranwpi was talking about a Nitro case he picked up at the AT&T store that covers the back. He is still waiting for his OEM battery cover he ordered from LG. I work with him , the case is pretty nice though.
I'm thinking about buying a spare Nitro cover and one of the extended life battery covers from the spectrum. I want to cut them up and graft them together so I can use the 3000mAh extended battery. The stock Spectrum battery is the same as our Nitro, but they have an extended battery option. Their cover won't fit ours. We just need a new battery cover that will work!
Edit* I called LG. They are out of stock on the Nitro battery cover and don't know when they will be back in stock. They were $17.xx shipped. I didn't give them my address so where ever you live, that what it'll cost you too.
You can get the Verizon extended battery and cover for the Spectrum online for $49, but they are out of stock too. Damn shame their cover won't fit.
I called to get an update on my order, it's even more 5 weeks, and I placed my order in Jan. 6, 2012

I find myself in a similar situation. Anyone ever have success getting a replacement cover? Who did you get it from? How long did it take? Thanks!!
Guys! I need help on this one! Where can I find an oem back cover for a bell optimus LTE?
Guys...just order a battery regular or extended on ebay...duh!

@stemalo,
OEM batteries don't come with covers which is what this thread is for
However, the suggestion to purchase an extended battery would work because those do come with covers. Might be a solution if people can't find the stock OEM battery cover anywhere.
kamranwpi did get his oem cover from LG btw. It was quite some time ago in late Feb. He has since sold his phone to get a Galaxy Nexus.
I'm just having trouble getting to the right people at lg.

I got a Kevlar styleswap cover for 50% off, not sure about the other accessories but not bad anyhow
https://oneplus.net/oneplus-2-styleswap-cover
Sadly the postage is still the same price.
I've also found some chaper on ebay.. not sure about the quality..
30% off in India at amazon.in... Not as sweet as 50% though.

Where can I buy the Samsung book cover at a good price?

Looking for a shop that sells internationally and has good prices and isn't scamazon. There are tons of ebay sellers with lookalike covers. They all say genuine, oem etc. I can't tell which ones are real and which are fakes. The only one I'm fairly sure is legit is from Korea and costs a fair bundle of money. Any ideas guys? Thanks.
I bought mine from aliexpress

How do you know it's not fake?
I am sure it is but it fits and works perfectly and cost 10 dollars
Sent from my LG-D693n using Tapatalk
ok well my question was where to buy the original case. i know some of the fakes are probably as good or better but it sucks taking a chance since it takes so long to get here
It's a case not the tablet itself as long as it protects the tablet what difference does it make? But hey it's your money just giving you another option and if you want an original cover just get from your Internet provider, that way you can the maximum possible price for something that a fake does the same for 10 bucks

I got a legit one from Conrad, for €40 (which is €20 cheaper than Samsung direct).
I bought a Moko cover, it only cost $15 but has a cover. It also covers the corners so if it's dropped it's pretty well protected. In the U.S. Amazon sells it.
I have an el-cheapo Chinese cover coming probably today or tomorrow. Will post comments/pics.
Have not found an affordable source for the official book cover. I'll try to pick it up when I'm travelling for work to a place where there is a Samsung store (none in my country).
Anybody tried the Samsung bluetooth keyboard? Any good?
I have just bought a new Galaxy Tab S2 8.0 Value Edition (that's what it's called here in Switzerland, it's the upgraded version with the octa core processor) and I am looking for a case that has a strap on the back that makes the tablet easier to hold with one hand, preferably a rotatable one but a static one would do as well, does anybody already have something like that for the 8 inch S2 version that he could suggest to me or has anybody heard of a good case with such a feature? Otterbox, Griffin etc. dont seem to sell any cases with a strap on the back for the Tab S2.
Ebay or Amazon my friend....used probably....

I found a killer deal on a used Pixel XL, so I don't have a reason to swap out backs on my OPO anymore. Definitely going to throw the bamboo on ebay, but I figured I would see if anyone wanted to buy it without me having to pay fees. I'll do an even fifty bucks (what I originally paid back in the day) on the bamboo plus whatever shipping method you want through a gmail money transfer or paypal.
I also have my OPO with sandstone back. It never saw a case and rarely saw a screen protector, so it is worth more in parts. If you need anything from it, let me know. The screen, with the many scratches (not seen w/ screen on), has a fresh oleophobic coating on it. So it feels new, and repels fingerprints as if it is.
I just got in five camera lens covers, the piece of glass that covers the camera on the back that gets scratched all to hell, that I will be getting rid of too. And a battery that is on the way from ali. I will test the battery for capacity and sell that one for what I have in it, plus ship and fees. Same for the lenses. So if you need a battery shipped from Tennessee instead of China, let me know.
Mods: I don't know if this breaks any rules or not. If it does, please feel free to delete. No harm no foul. I am not trying to run an enterprise or anything, just trying to give first dibs to 'active' xda OPO owners. You can go back to the original Moto X days and see where I gave away, with free shipping, some cases and screen protectors for the OG Moto X. And delivered on my promises. So not trying to hoodoo anyone.
Anywho... I will probably get around to ripping apart the OPO next week and will be posting things on ebay then. So if you want before it goes on ebay for max price, let me know.

Let me know the price of sandstone back and bamboo back
BTW I stay in India , let me know the shipping charge as well
I'm interested in the bamboo back cover, as I've been searching all over for ages and haven't had any luck. Please let me know exactly how much you'd like for it as well as exactly how the transaction will take place, as I'd like to get my hands on it.
(I also sent a PM, if you'd rather carry on this conversation there.)
It's $50 for the bamboo and will be $43 for the sandstone. Those are the prices I paid. Plus ship ($7.15 for small flat rate box USPS), plus any money transfer fees. I am not really interested in filling out forms to ship internationally but I will... If I cannot sell on ebay. My experience shipping to china and uk adds another $30 or $40 to the ship price.
As for the Sandstone back, I have decided to try and make the 4,000 mah ZTE battery work for the opo. I have the zte batt in house, just waiting on the cheap opo replacement batt. So will not be busting down the opo until I get that project done. Should be some time this week. If it works... I will post a vid on youtube for you guys on how to do it. Either way the Sandstone will be ready to ship out once I get it done.
i need the lcd+digitizer+frame assembly.I live in India
Hey, have you posted them to eBay yet?
If not, how much would you ask for the motherboard?
Thanks!

bro i live in india i want bamboo back cover
I forgot to come back here and update. Sold the bamboo for 50. Then ha a guy offer me $150 for the phone. I took him up on it.

Bought two cases, neither was perfect so using in a mixed pair, have one left over

I ordered the Spiegen Case from Amazon, (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08B11KLFF/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 . Wasn't supposed to arrive until mid Octobert so I bought a case from ebay, https://www.ebay.com/ipp/293756356359?transactionId=1844055894019&_trksid=p2047675.l48352
I liked the way the eBay case fit the back, but the front cover was not too mu liking. The Spiegen case came yesterday, its front cover was better but I still prefer the eBay rear cover, so if anyone wants my leftovers, $22 shipped via paypal (us only), mjposner1 at gmail.com

How much shipped 2 day to NJ 08690
NJ shipping is free, will ship to canada but USPS priority padded envelope adds $26!
There's a sticky thread on the very top that explicitly states - do not sell on xda - https://forum.xda-developers.com/note5/accessories/warning-spam-sell-trade-xda-t3297122
Buyer also has very little to no protection. So.. good luck.
