So.. I haven't seen a thread about this yet, but I've seen few post about the back cover replacement through aliexpress. So I decided to order the white and sandpaper back cover and this is the result. The sandpaper one feels exactly like original one. There are some cosmetic differences though. The cyanogen branding is not on the back of these and NFC does not work. Also, the replacement back does not include the buttons, however they can carefully be removed and put on other backs.
Link Please?

Hi, can I get a link for the replacement back please?
Most of the replacement covers from China do not come with the NFC sticker attached. I'd rather not get those.

So the white back is a direct fit apart from the NFC and buttons. It doesn't need any modifications to make it fit, how is the fit?
Thanks
Does the white one fit onto the international OnePlus One? Could you please provide a link?

It fits. Just search aliexpress. Just get the ones with reviews.
Just for clarification, the white one doesn't have a sandstone feel right??
Very nice, my Silk White back cover should arrive here any day. FYI, you can easily transfer the NFC sticker out of the old back cover into a new one. It just attached with some adhesive that can be loosened up with some heat and then be carefully removed without damaging the cover or the antenna itself.

Hey, can you take several high quality photos of the 1+ logo? I would like to see the quality of the black within the white indent.
I have ordered a white back for mine and I'm going to get something like below done with it.

Hello Folks,
I was in a middle of changing the covers and my 2 year old grabbed the Note and before I know it was the floor.
Luckily Note is okay and functional but got some scratches on the battery (back) cover and on the metal portion on the side/edge.
I was wondering if I can get the original battery (back) cover?
Only place I see is on eBay. They say its the original and they are asking $25 for the same.
I see them on Amazon but does not seem they are original.
Anyone know any other place?
Thank you,

Well whaddya know... I knew this picture would come in handy one day (attached below).
I bought a bunch of genuine back covers from eBay from a seller called komazys, and have been buying from him from quite awhile.
As far as I can tell these are the genuine Samsung back covers (it even comes with the protection sticker which teaches you how to snap it into place, same as our out-of-the-box Notes (and with a price tag to match). Yes unfortunately original manufacturer items will always be more expensive than cheaper OEMs, but at least you get the satisfaction of knowing it won't break (or shouldn't anyway) within the life of the product you're using it with.
FYI:
eBay - Black Cover
eBay - White Cover

Does anyone know of any custom battery covers? or back plates? I'd really like to get a collegiate one or perhaps one that is a custom color and design via an uploaded jpg. I know there are things like skinit etc. but I figure this is a pretty simple piece of plastic right? Couldn't be that hard to replicate and customize.
any thoughts?

Find someone who does vinyl wraps. Have them print something small and just wrap it.
clarification
just to clarify I am looking for an actual battery cover replacement. Not a skin or a case.
thanks
Vinyl
I hadn't thought of a vinyl wrap like that. That's a great idea! :good:
I really want to get an actual replacement cover... but if I cannot find anything soon that might be my alternative.
I bought I carbon fiber back from eBay search in china japan they have them.

You can get just the plain Samsung cover. They can be found for $8 for a pretty nice one. I finally found one that fits right. I can find you the link. Keep the new one as a back up replacement and use the old one wrapped. Since the rep I found has the Samsung cut out. I can post pics and stuff when I get home. I know they would do cases before battery covers.
Hey guys,
so I'm planning to buy another back cover (Pebble Blue), but the only one I found is i9300 version back covers of this phone, will this effect NFC in any way? Or is it just a back cover? Don't know, I read a previous thread and they were talking about NFC and battery cover so I didn't really want to buy a new one (Which is not cheap by the way ) and end up having to keep it on the side. Reason why I want a new one is I dropped my phone today, but the back was just scratched at the top corner on the battery cover, and I'm planning to get Ghost Armour soon, so I want a perfect condition before putting it on. Is Ghost Armour worth it? If anyone happens to also find a back case for under $10 please do tell, that would be awesome, but I've had no luck.
This is the wrong section, should be in accessories.
This has been discussed in great length. Here's is one of the many threads.

The NFC is in the battery, not the battery cover. Metal back covers could/will interfere with it.
I know there are many Chinese backcovers, but they all make the phone bulkier and thicker compared to the original cover.
So is it possible to buy the original OEM covers manufactured by Samsung? I have the black one right now, but I'd rather like the blue one. If someone knows another brand that sells blue backcovers that are not larger than the original, that's fine too, but I havent been able to find them and I look virtually everywhere.

I disagree on what you say about the chinese back cover being thicker and bulkier, and yes you can buy the oem cover, try ebay.

It seems they are all 'protective' cases, but if you know a chinese cover that has the same dimensions as the OEM cover, please provide a link?

I am talking about battery cover, not a case type.

I also check ebay, 1-2 second search got my some listing.

I'm also talking about the battery cover, but they all seem to wrap around the edges of the device (the part that is metal now).
Please provide me with the Chinese link, I will translate it.

Yes, that's the only site that has them, I already found it. They sell exactly what I'm looking for, but unfortunately only the black cover (which I already have), and not the blue one. Maybe I should just write them an email to request it.

Like written in the topic.
Does anybody know a shop were it is possible to buy LG v20 backcovers?
I found a seller on eBay but only verizon branded. I'd like to have a clean one (LG brand is OK).
My plan is to laseringrave my own personalised theme.
So pleas give me a link.
Best regards from Germany
Nillkin Frosted Shield Matte Plastic Ultra Thin Slim Light Fit Case. Check that out on amazon. It is slim, looks classy and premium.
I think the OP is referring to the original back cover attached to the phone chassis, not a protective cover or case.
Rubiicon is totally right.
I talked about the batterycover that u can take off.
I found one on eBay but it has the verizon logo on it. I'm searching for a blank one or whit LG logo only.

For some silly reason, I wanted a pink phone (tired of black or silver). I find the brow and chin. http://www.ebay.com/itm/272609599251 , Does anybody think I can grab a Verizon LG V20 back cover, sand it and painting it a matching pink?
The verizon logo seams to be laser engraved. Don't know how far u have to sand it till its totally gone. And is the texture also the same like the backcover.
Idk how much time you have on your hands. BUT possible anodize the back door.
Thats my current project. I have all 3 main bezel parts soaking in Dye. Hoping in 3 weeks when I pull them out they were able to seep deep enough under the external anodizing seal layer (DOUBTFUL) If not then Im gonna attempt to anodize all three (Will have to replace the NFC ring on the back door). I hesitate because the sealing process requires you to boil the parts for 15 mins after anodizing, and the top and bottom bezel have plastic and I dont know the melting temp of this plastic. But only $40 project that will give me knowledge for the future.
@DarkestSpawn
I like your initiative, that's exactly the kind of thing I would try.
Experimentation is educational and fun. Even better if it's successful.
Be wary of boiling the plastic parts, they probably won't take much more than 60°C before deforming.
Good luck with your project, make sure you update here with your results.
An other user in an older backcoversection found covers without verizon logo. It has the b&o brand but this is much better then verizon

Well, soaking in dye was a negative. Tried doing a thin layer of spray paint, parts would line up right felt weird, now I have a thin vinyl skin on it. PAIN IN THE ASS to install perfectly(see attachments) in which case I didn't do it perfect. The door is ridiculous to get a good alignment. I'm gonna see with these extra useless spare painted parts if I can remove the plastic without damaging, if yes then I'll attempt the anodizing. Otherwise hoping the v30 will be spec wise way better, still metal, still a removable battery, and anodized blue lol.
Lmao!
At least you tried. The rear cover looks OK, can't really tell much in the 2nd pic.
Good luck getting LG to release a blue V30 :laugh:
After some talk with co-workers, I was very cautious with an exact-o knife to trim a very small hang over portion around the camera ring, finger print power ring and sides, and used the spare bottom bezel skin, Its now done very well and am extremely happy with it.
The link is below if anyone wants to look at options.

I would have just used a Dbrand skin I have one on my XPS 15 and it works great. Last I checked they make them for the V20.
