G4 original leather back cover replacement? - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just wondering if there is anywhere we are able to buy the original leather back cover if we need replacement next time?
Really like the looks and feel but don't think it is going to last long.

Ebay... but $$$$ right now & only about 4-5 color choices.

Folio simple leather cover

While searching ebay, I came across an interesting leather cover for the SGS2. It's a little costly but I like that it's sleek yet protects the phone from scratches. Just can't imagine how the thing stays on!

Look good. I think they replace your battery cover, that's the only way they could stay on.
Right, that makes sense! Thanks!
Let us know how it goes. looks gd.
I'm still trying to do some research about which cover to get, and came across the Korean page.
Looks like the folio has some antibacterial properties!
I might "break the bank" *as regards the price for phone covers, and purchase one of these, can anyone give a review assuming someone has already purchased one of these.:
Quite like the look of it and the "idea" of it replacing the battery cover.
Shame I already bought a Zenus cover for mine :/
Let us know if you get it, would be good to know if it works well.
Haven't bought the case yet. I read that it has antibacterial properties, which made me re-think about it.
BTW, I came across another cool Korean leather case:

I'm looking for light-weight leather cases but am not sure which one to get at the moment! Any thoughts about this?

GN Battery Cover

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

Cheap Flip Case

This case is a hot seller. I may order soon. anyone ordered this? do you recommend it?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-luxury-...416334?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3cc84b4ece
Ordered a black and a white last week. Lets see how they are, not too bad for a few bucks though.
The original flip case is a back cover replacement but these are shells that you add to the back so it makes the phone feel thicker. Also, something to note is that when you flip the cover around you are going to cover your camera. And also when its closed you cant see the notification light.
I bought the original from best buy, but didnt realize those issues and returned the cover the next day. ALSO. For those who actually buy the original samsung flip cover, once you install it its VERY VERY HARD TO REMOVE, I had to work hard not to scratch my phone trying to get that thing off. Very disappointed with it.
And on another note, I hear that the wireless charging will be a battery cover replacement accessory, so such large back shells may interfere with the charging. I'm going to hold out till the wireless charging is released.

New Back Cover...

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.

WANTED: - replacement back cover with kick stand

Hi, has anyone seen a replacement back cover with a kick stand?, (not a case cover with a kickstand)
I haven't, but that would be sweet. The kickstand is the only thing keeping me from a bumper case. I loved the built-in one on my old Thunderbolt.
i have been searching high and low for one and have yet to find one. I am very surprised that more phones do not come with them built in (like the tbolt, and the evo), i think it is a great idea.
The back cover of the SIII is basically a "flexible" membrane, so finding a replacement back cover with a kick stand will, most likely, add thickness. So, it depends on how much additional thickness you're willing to live with... 1-2 Millimeters?... I know you don't want a "case", but you might be able to find a slim cover that adds about the same thickness that a back cover with a stand will add. I've been considering on getting this $10 Amzer slim case with kick stand to use it with my spare battery when I travel. If you scroll down on that page, you can look at the video demo of the case. I have not pulled the trigger because I'm also considering getting a case like this or this with backup battery and kick stand, but without the flap cover. This way I avoid the inconvenience of replacing the battery on the plane or train while in the middle of a movie. Still, if anyone comes across a very slim back cover with a kickstand, I'd be interested.

This is pretty close, but quite spendy.

I found one on ebay last night... I am at work and can't use it, but try searching galaxy s3 battery wings. It is a replacement back that uses wings for a kickstand, I would never use it, but some people might like it.
