Hi guyz, just discovered that amazing G4 leather brown case! As both our device and the G4 will be similar in terms of form-factor, do you think the case will be compatible with our device? If not, is there a way to buy similar cases for our devices?(not the crappy leather cases easily findable on amazon )

Something like this ? or...
http://www.ebay.com/itm/PIERRE-CARD...Domain_0&var=630596530331&hash=item541c37867f
it's a leather back cover... would be great to have on the g3
They are not compatible. Look at the camera lens on G4, it's a bit larger. And from some what i've seen so far on the web(if the leeks are legit), even the back cover seems to be a little curved on G4. Also the back cover clips could be in different places.

Pretty sure I saw 2 on Amazon a few months ago
Edit : Nvm seems like it's a case but it barely adds any bulk :x
I think they will be on ebay as soon as the G4 is released. There are already metal battery backs on ebay so i assume there will be leather backs in the future.
it will not work, because the g4 will be a little bit bigger
G3 - 146.3 x 74.6 x 8.9 Millimeter
G4 - 149.1 x 75.3 x 8.9 Millimeter
if the leaks are right....

Yep, that's not leather. It's rugged plastic. It's a LG case (not a battery cover). I have one in black.
Well maybe they make a leather back since g4 is out . I bought one in black too (case) and i am satisfied.

Do you have a name / model number / link for this case please!
Never mind, saw that it doesn't have a lip so it won't protect the front side at all
Looking for a case like this (very small, not adding much bulk) but which will also protect the front glass when laid down.

It looks awesome and it is pretty cheap, so I wanted to know if anyone has already purchased it and if it fits correctly.
iv got a similar type back. Made a review
Sorry to ask, but what is the use of such a back cover?
To make it feel more premium and heavyer so its better in the hand? Because it adds no protection at all for the screen.
i bought a silver one right now
when it arrives i will let you know
estimated arrivel nov 29th

Where does anyone say it adds or aids protection to the screen?
Its a matter of choice a custom feel to the owner.

Judging by the looks of it, it curves up at the bottom like the stock battery cover, so I doubt it will fit a 2000mah battery.
Loving the look on this cover, I'll probably get one in a few days.
I bought this cover few days ago from here:
http://www.ebay.ie/itm/Aluminum-Met...103889?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4cfb634e91
The seller was trustworthy enough, item arrived to Ireland after a week or so,
I'm very happy with it
Will attach a few close-up pics tonight once my digital camera's battery gets fully charged
Silver metal cover looks cool. I'm buying this one
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NEW-Silv...ccessories&hash=item3f0fae9f04#ht_1965wt_1163
Never want to change my original back cover, but alimimum looking much better. Still love my original back cover.
Some pics
so here are few shots of that aluminium cover...
That looks really nice! How does it feel on the hand? Does it make the phone heavier?

The phone not only feels but in fact is heavier (compared to stock plastic cover, didn't weigh the phone though) and the back doesn't seem to attract fingerprints, but since I use SGP Case Ultra Capsule as well nobody can see the difference in style
It's solid enough and fits very well, easy to attach. Worth the money
Thanks! I'll be buying one for sure now.
It seems a bit thicker than the stock battery cover.
Is it just me or does it stick out 1mm or so?
After hearing feedback that the Barely There Case was found not an exact fit I thought I'd try out an alternative. I decided on the Hard Hybrid Back Case which can be found on ebay for less than £3. I also bought the even cheaper (99p) S-line for comparison.
The S-line I found easy to fit and remove, it had more protection on the top and bottom but it felt and looked cheap. The buttons were also covered with plastic which I didn't like.
The Hybrid case is very much styled like the CaseMate Barely There case but fits better, it's very snug and snaps over the Nexus. Getting it off can take a couple attempts. It has cut outs for both buttons which I prefer and has a nice grippy feel. Here are a couple pics:

Agreed. What's the point of having a case if it doesn't cover all the edges?
On a side note, OP - would you mind sharing the settings widget you are using? I like that the background is transparent.
AH i ordered a bunch of the hybrid cases off ebay. they are feel really nice! the only thing i dislike is how incredibly frustrating it is to take it off >:| (yes i swap cases often to keep the look fresh) but I have a white one and a dark purple one. as well as a S-line case. the S-line case feels nice but kinda bulky ><
each of my cases are like $2-$3
i'll post pictures of the white one once it arrives >> (two week shipping from HK)

Could be SwitchPro.
Case looks pretty nice. Currently using Otterbox Defender or whatever and it's comically huge.
Looks like a nice case, was going to ask if it would fit the LTE nexus but it looks like the seller doesn't ship to the states :/

u have to look around. all of the sellers based in Hong Kong would be willing to sell to the states. however, alot of the EU based sellers wont. it took me a good 20 minutes to find a white hybrid case that could be shipped to the US
Hi guys,
Just wanted to write a quick review of a case I bought on eBay
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/190823724544?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
Fits all variants of the OG except for the AT&T OG (8MP camera)
Very good for $7 ($3.50 each) - I bought the black and blue.
Cutouts for camera / flash / speakers / ports well done.
Cut out for 3.55m jack more than enough to accommodate jacks with the big outer shell, if you know what I mean.
Case fits very well. No chance of falling out.
Installation was very easy.
The finish on the back feels good to the touch and rubbery side grips are good, much better than the nude slippery glass of the OG to hold now lol.
If you want a cheap case that covers the back & sides, this is the one to go to. Good for Aussies who are looking for a case!
Here's some pictures I took of it

Yeh I bought this case in a local mall close by to me.. Was surprised to see it considering the lack of cases available. Have had it on my G for the past few months and its been a treat.. Actually have dropped my phone twice with it on and its been perfect so far
My only gripe is that the elevated edges makes my screen get dirtier faster and makes it harder to clean.. Otherwise its a great case
Oooo I like the purple colour in the auction pics, but then they have a video of some silicon cases and they look ugly as and really transparent? Wonder if they would ship to NZ
im using the same case but a transparent 1 :laugh: got it FOC from the stall
L-01E
Do you guys think this could fit a Japanese-spec OG; an L-01E?
Would it rip into the sceen protector and cause bubbles like most of my other cases?
Nope.using this case since i bought the phone.i like it because it's protecting the silver frame.

Just got me a black and blue one, perfect, except the buttons are a bit touchy but you get that.
I've got this tpu case and it shows a smooth finish, the holes are really well done, but I fell the buttons a bit dull, I don't know how to explain. For example, I have some difficulty to take screenshots pressing the Vol Down and Power buttons at the same time. Power button is not so easy to use.
This case looks like to offer a very good protection to the phone. I hope I won't need to prove it...
@sianghung, From where did you buy the transparent case?

I have the same case (black). I love it. Fits perfectly. Recently I accidentally dropped my phone on a concrete surface. If I was without a case, the glass or the metalic part were goners. But with this case it was fine. Just wiped the dust.

Hey, fellow Vancouverite here... Can you give me a hint where you found it locally? I know it's been a while since your post, but who knows... I have another case, but wouldn't mind getting this one, as this is exactly what I used for my SGS2, and I loved it. Thanks in advance!
I use this tpu case.
it offers good protection in falls, great price.
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.

My reason for asking is that I have ordered one for my phone and indeed it is not leather but hard plastic

I had the spigen equivalent for the note 7 and it was much slimmer than the VRS case is. I may wind up returning the VRS one. It's just thicker than what I'm looking for.

no glass protector at present can cover the LG logo, the glass starts to curve off, you will get a air gap, there was a company called icroo, that could do it, but I think they closed down, they had the perfect protector for the G5, but it was also very expensive.
The screen protector was not very good. I removed it as it only covered the primary screen and was very narrow on both sides. I knew the whole screen wasn't possible due to the screen cultivation, but I felt this implementation was still subpar.
The VRS case was outstanding. Good grip and protection. Fitment was great. Kickstand is handy. It is a little wider in the hand then say the spigen offering I'd say (I'll be comparing once that one arrives). The only gripe I have about the case is that the headphone jack passage is rather small and will not clear many headphone plugs.

The screen protector you have is just a rebadged like many of those sold on amazon and ebay, they all come from china.
