[Q] Anywhere To Buy G4 Back Covers? - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey Guys,
Just got my G4 and am pumped! Only thing, I got the back with black leather and I am now realizing I would like a case to protect the corners etc. Most cases are not compatible with the leather backs. My question is, is there a place to purchase just a back cover for the G4? I've checked Amazon and no dice. If anyone knows where I can order a back cover that would be awesome!

Only place so far is eBay but they are over $80 shipped last time I checked. It's crazy.

That's insane. They're shipping from South Korea. I bought the Incipio case for my G4 but it fits awkwardly with the leather back. I really want to see if I can find somewhere to buy a back cover.

I've been checking Amazon and eBay multiple times a day to see if anything shows up but no luck. Heck, can't even get a true aluminum bumper without 2-3 week delivery.

Found this http://www.mobilefun.com/53721-lg-g4-black-leather-replacement-back-cover.htm they also have so charging backs with the front cover. I've never ordered from the site though so I can't speak to their reputation.

Compared to the price on eBay, that's pretty good for the leather. I'd order the brown if it wasn't still pre-order status. Hopefully they add the plastic covers as well.

Nice find. Anywhere they sell the plastic backs? I have leather now but it's not compatible with any cases.

I don't know if this is allowed, But does anyone wanna switch Leather Backs? I have the T-Mobile Leather Brown Back & Would love the AT&T Red Leather back or the Verizon Black Leather back.

Although if someone wants to exchange my awesome, soon to be delivered new shiny and case friendly Metallic Gray Plastic back for your brown leather back, I would be willing. Otherwise I think I might just pre-order from here and call it a day.

Hi Woozy101.
With regard to Mobilefun.com. I have purchased some chargers and belt clip cases etc for previous phones from Mobilefun.co.uk which is I presume a localised version of mobile fun.com. I never had a problem with them. Items purchased were reasonable in price and quickly despatched so my dealings have been positive.
As I say, I think mobilefun.com and mobilefun.co.uk and mobilefun.ie are all localised versions of the same company.
Hope this is of some help.
Cheers.
Eoin.
PS. I am not affiliated with this company in any, just a past customer.

To my understanding it was locked due to selling their back. If it is a trade and no money if involved I believe you are within the rules of XDA.

Actually it was locked because selling and trading are not allowed.

Guys please don't discuss trades I don't want this thread to get locked. I want to keep this thread open so if anyone including myself finds somewhere to purchase backs for this phone we can share it. Thanks.

I theoretically would trade covers, but I wouldn't use this forum to arrange such a trade. Instead, I would put an advertisement on Craigslist or some other similar service, and just meet someone locally face-to-face. There's much less chance of getting ripped off that way, and you don't have to go without a back cover.
That being said, I would much rather just BUY a new back cover, as soon as they're available and not outrageously expensive. I'm not interested in paying $80 for a thin piece of plastic, however.
The mods aren't stupid, and so far nobody has talked about offering backs for sale or trade, so let's keep it that way.

I wrote an email to www.mobilefun.com last week to inquire about their leather backs.

I received a reply today and it is sad news. Here is what they emailed me.
Thank you for your email.
I can confirm that LG G4 Brown Leather is not a official LG case, it is made by our own brand Olixar.

So much for that route for those of you thinking of pre-ordering your cases from that site. Although, now I'm curious if their leather backs could be better or not....

Case-mate tough case, not out yet?

On their eu site it shows the case and I like what I see. Looked around and it appears that its coming soon. I was wondering if anyone knew about availability? I have an inquiry in and will report back if it hasn't already been dug up and reported here.
edit... I should have put a link here, my bad. Here is a link to the goods. ---> http://www.case-mate.eu.com/samsung-galaxy-s-2-tough-case-black.html
I don't have any news but thanks for sharing that link. I've been looking to see if Case-Mate was preparing any cases yet for the SG2.
Have you had one previously? I'm running a siedio case right now that I really like. It is a hard rubbery feeling outside that gives some grip but it doesn't collect lint or get stuck in pockets. This is what I'm looking for.
barely there case is out..2 sellers on ebay.uk and amazon uk too..
but i can not find the other hard case

Yes I did. I liked it, nice looking, not too thick and had a nice solid feel to it when you grasped the phone. It slide in and out pretty easily and didn't pick up stuff from my pockets.

I'm going to try out the Barely There case for now... I've had those before too. Not nearly as protective but I'd rather try one of these out than some of the odd stuff we are seeing so far.
I ordered some gel cases from Deal Extreme that still haven't shown up yet - a little worried using my SGS II without a case (it's a bit slippery). I like the look of the Case-Mate barely there or Safe Skin - will pick one up in London week after next (I'm sure CPWH will have them...)
Case-mate has responded to my email this morning. They expect to have them available to the public in two weeks.
Hi,
I always use the case-mate tough case on a of my phones, andhave one on pre order from mobile den, cpwh will bedding then for around £25 and the barely there will be much cheaper but to me does not provide grip or good protection.

I purchased this http://www.case-mate.eu.com/samsung-galaxy-s-2-gelli-case-clear.html and the screen protector that shipped with it is totally the wrong size and has no hole for the home button. it is too short and too narrow almost a galaxy s screen protector with no hole for the home button. I checked 3 different carphone warehouse and they are all the same. I emailed case mate and was told they knew the screen protector didn't fit but just use it anyway.
Really disappointed in the company. No reason at all this should be sold like this. The case is very nice however but at £13 its not cheap if you have no screen protector
Dont know if this will be the same just to let you know
I dont use screen protectors, hate em. Nevertheless I don't like the sound of an outfit shipping a piece that to my mind would be useless and not what was represented. What is your feelings on the fit of the case itself in regards to the cut outs and so on? Overall quality? Value?
This is now available on amazon uk, I have one on the way so I will post up with my impressions after I have it in hand.

I bought one from the same seller, the worst fit so far, looks like they made the mold from the measurements not the actual phone to profit from early listings, can't believe he sold over 123 cases in 9 days and nobody gave him a negative feedback, I will soon as I get my refund.

VERY LITTLE PROTECTION IF YOU DROP YOUR TABLET.
There are many other choices online that offer far better protection and don't have the same design flaws.

The only issue I have with their cases from your list below is that they are overpriced. The Camera hole is not a bother.
I personally like the slim design (and love the Tab 2 7.0 model) - I want a case that looks like an extension of the device, not some faked grained $1 (sold as $20) Chinese generic case such as the ones that are sold be Poetic, Moko, Caseen, Acase, etc. Many of those cover the bezel and that is my #1 pet peeve.
It is obvious that they buy from the same Chinese distributor and simply (in some instances) stamp their badge on the bottom right corner of the front cover. I refuse to buy any more of those. I did with the Transformer Prime that I had. Another thing that gets me about these cheap cases - and this was true with the Prime cases - they dump them out on Amazon, and do not even have information on the "manufacturer's" web site about the product.
Belkin makes better quality cases, but I surely am not willing to pay $39.99 or $59.99 (see Best Buy's website).
All of the above reasons are why I like the Samsung cases better.

[Q] Leather Back cover to replace plastic

I bought the G4 with plastic back, thinking that I can eventually replace the back with a leather one for less than the $40 difference. So far, I have been unable to find a leather back cover for less than that. The cheapest OEM LG cover on ebay is $60. Crazy right?
Anyway, I am sure as time goes on, there will be more and cheaper options.
Meanwhile, if anyone knows of one, please post here. Again, I am looking to replace the plastic back cover with leather, not applying a leather protector case on top. With G4 slightly larger than G3, I find it really bulky and ugly to add anything to it. I will most likely just use it naked with a screen protector.
Mobile Fun has brown and black for pre-order for $50. I think over at AC someone posted that LG might officially be releasing leather backs as early as tomorrow.
An LG rep told me that they will be selling leather cases starting Monday.
Sent from my LG-H810 using XDA Free mobile app
Thanks. But I don't think they are worth more than $40, which is what LG wants for them if you buy the one with the leather back. I might be willing to pay $20, but ideally around $10. I know, I am cheap...
Lol...I paid 70 after shipping for my red on on eBay.

Shipping is free so I'm getting 2 leather backs for $76.02 including tax.
they may get cheaper in the future but I don't care.
I have the deep blue verizon variant and I ordered the red leather and the yellow leather.
I know the yellow could get dirty, but I'll only use that on certain occasions.
According to web site, they'll be shipped on 6/26.

I didn't like the leather cases. Plus I use a case to protect the sides. So relevant. I got the white back. I love it.
So they're doing 2 cases for the price of one, but I only want one case. Anyone (who doesn't mind getting a Verizon model*) want to go in with me? I'll get two cases, and send you one for half of what I pay plus whatever it costs me to ship it to you. (Bonus if you're in the Chicago area and we can do this in person.)
*LG asks for carrier. I'm guessing that just means some kinda branding, but it's barely possible that brand has something to do with how the case fits. I'm on VZW so I'll be specifying that on the cases when ordering.

Very interested to hear what you think of it. My completely uninformed guess was that LG's would be higher quality. But I'd love to be proved wrong.

Zizo Bolt Cover is not well-made.

Just received the Zizo bolt cover case. It looks nice but that is about it. I did a short Youtbe video and left a review on Amazon. I was going to leave it at that but the return/exchange policy was so bad I wanted to share this with you guys. Overall the case feels like cheap plastic. For the price I wasn't expecting much so that was not the reason for my return. The kickstand does not sit flush on my particular case. When the kickstand is closed only one side sits flush. I figured they would send me a prepaid label so I could return it in hopes that the replacement wouldn't have the same issue. The box itself came in a flimsy bag. the bag was intact but the box was torn. just a heads up guys!!!
One thing I want to mention is that I wish companies would make a standard and a premium case. All the 10 to $20 look and feel cheap. I am going to get a real leather case for it but I wish someone would make a rugged case made out of hard rubber/plastic and metal.

Just received the Zizo bolt cover case. It looks nice but that is about it. I did a short Youtbe video and left a review on Amazon. I was going to leave it at that but the return/exchange policy was so bad I wanted to share this with you guys. Overall the case feels like cheap plastic.

Maybe it was one bad case in the bunch. I have been playing with my kickstand to see if it goes in flush all the time and it does. I got the orange one. It is a nice color and case. The screen protector that came with it is pretty good too.
I figured it was just a faulty unit and figured they would have no problem replacing it. They are making new pay for return shipping and for a box to return it in. This is the video I shot to show the issues and the confirmation of the box damage.

I didn't even get to test that out before I returned mine. I did hear they were aware of that issue and were sending out replacements. That informal came from an Amazon review I read.

I'll try to snap pics later, but I can confirm that my zizo bolt ordered from Amazon on 11/15, fits perfectly. I can charge, and use headphones with the case on without any issues.

I personally think that it is well made. Seems sturdy, and everything works as it should. Plus it looks nice. I don't use the holster, but it seems solid for those who will use it. Also the included tempered glass screen protector is pretty nice

Not well means that mine came out of the box defective. The kickstand does not lay flush with the case on my unit. I did an out the box video review that demonstrated the issue. As with ever product especially first production run there will be more QC issues. I just happened to get a defective until.
did you had yours replaced?

They made me pay for return shipping, tracking and a box to send it in. I am not going to risk that again.
i feel you man... hopefully new batches are all ok... but heck, you shouldn't pay a dime for the return coz of their mistake. tsk tsk
