Hey, Is it possible to buy colored battery covers for the Nexus S?
A red one will look gooood on the back of my black phone
Thanks
I was looking for one a while ago, but I couldn't find one that had a NFC on it. The Near Field Communicator is attached to the back cover, so you will lose that functionality if you don't get a cover that has a NFC on it.

I honestly don't care about the NFC and I don't think I'll ever use it..
Can you tell me what exactly you searched to find it or if you know someone that sells it?
I wants non glossy black
Hate gloss just a fingerprint magnet and gets all sweaty in hand
I'm surprised no alternative covers
I've looked before bit no luck
Got a thin case but still would like cover

I think the Chinese have been reluctant to make too many due to the loss of NFC if you use a cheap door.
I would buy some spray paint designed for plastic (they sell it at auto part shops. I'd buy the primer too) and sand the cover door and apply a bunch of real thin coats of paint, sanding with real fine sandpaper between each coat, until it was as smooth as I wanted. You could buy flat paint or whatever so it wasn't as glossy too. Though fingerprints wouldn't be as noticeable on a lighter color or one not quite so reflective as black.
Just get one of those Gelaskins or Bodyguardz Carbon Fiber skins <- I just got this and it looks and feels awesome.
is there any Battery cover _without_ NFC?
I haven't seen any for sale aside from the standard black or white ones.
Spray paint and clear coat the stock one.
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
the standard ones are fine for me, but i want one (or in this case two) without NFC because the radio signal is very poor on the Nexus S. But when you remove the back battery door it has one of the best signals i've ever seen on an smartphone

sure iv'e tested it with NFC off, not big difference to NFC on. Its because the NFC antenna in the Cover is very Big and shields the other frequencys to good.
I'm still searching for an Bat. cover without NFC. Any links or recommendations?
Look it up on eBay! Its your best friend
Sent from my Nexus S
i tried but i only find them with NFC or the price is so high that it isn't interesting any more
I bought 2 of these from this seller. They arrived quickly and do not contain NFC. I bought them to coat in plastidip (works well in 1-2 coats, 3 destroys it) - source (my six tries).
Search ebay for this description and this seller.
ORIGINAL NEW Back Battery Door Cover for Samsung Nexus S i9023 W/TRACKING
Seller: zenkili1005
This is not an advertisement, I am simply answering a request with a supplier that is reasonably priced and I have done business with in the last 3 weeks. I have no affiliation with said supplier and no form of referral.
Are they good? They're even advertised as "Genuine" for $7~8, but without the HTC logo at front / back.

Note: Yes, we know that not everybody likes the dot view case.

Here's the one with the HTC logo for a few bucks more.
Personally, I think it's the same exact piece of plastic. One just has a logo and a steeper price.

Guess what bro, those aren't genuine either even if they say so. If you look at the pics you'll notice that some don't have the htc logo
I have the genuine gray, I bought it when I've got the phone, but I'm curious about the quality of the ones they're selling for $8, that's it.
To be honest they look exactly the same but I would like a closer look. Sellers in Amazon claim that they're identical to the genuine with the exception of the logo.

I always stay away from unbranded stuff, but these called my attention because they look identical and there are more colors available
Don't put a 10cent case on a $600 phone.....spend the money on a genuine case.

I had an original dot view case that I purchased the week the M8 came out. I accidentally ripped the front from the back trying to stretch it to go over my glass screen protector. Back in July I purchased this one, http://www.ebay.com/itm/291190318285.
It doesn't say HTC and obviously an overseas knockoff. In my opinion it's much, much nicer than the OEM version. It will flip open all the way back easily and isn't near as springy. It also works with my .3mm glass screen protector, http://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/6100440084.html.

Don't use one of these cases for protection period. I can almost state with certainty that if you drop your phone on any kind of solid surface, it will definitely come flying out of these cases. In fact, if you clumsily open the case to fast the device will come flying out sometimes. That is in the original from Verizon. They offer some screen protection while in pockets or bags, but little to no drop protection & even in bags, the top & bottom of the device is not protected from scratches.
It was a little more than I remembered but it's 13$ http://www.ebay.com/itm/221503424128?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
The pictures are of mine.
Beyond that I agree with the post above mine, the dot view case is very functional as an accessory but as a protector it's useless it pops out so easily.

I ordered this one last night and hope to see it in the mail sometime next week.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/12142505686...49&var=420362064890&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
And I also agree with the two previous posts. I bout the official case back in June and two weeks ago, it fell on a carpeted space and the phone flew out of it as well as the corners that secure the phone popping off. Since I enjoyed the functionality of the case, I ordered the above since spending $40.00 for something HTC will not stand behind (I tried to get them to replace it but was told they would not) was not something I was willing to do again.
I will report back pnce I get it.
I had the fake one with logo and the real deal case I got from a Verizon store. Felt the fake with the logo was just as good. So went to return the real deal case at Verizon. Turns out I mistakenly packaged the fake one and returned that one to Verizon(honest mistake). I had no idea until later when I took my One out of my csndyshell case and popped it in the dot view....So while I didn't mean to do that, I ended up with the real deal case. But honestly the fake one closed better than the real one. That is how close they are.
I'm on the Dot View case fence. I really like the concept but the reviews I've read have kept me from picking one up. Does the flap "loosen up" for lack of a better term after using it over time. What I mean is when open and flipped to the back does it start loosing it's springness that people complain about. I like hearing that the generic's seem just as good as the one from htc. I may just have to pick one up at the lower price.
I had an authentic one, and then recently bought one of those non-authentic ones.
As a direct comparison, they both look the same, but the quality is different. particularly, the dots' translucent level is very uneven, so you'll get random brighter vs darker patches
on the authentic one, all dots have consistent translucency
OME or Knock-off, I wish that someone would come out with one that snaps on decently (even if it used double-sided tape) and maybe wrapped in leather. The plastic makes the phone feel so cheap! I had the original. I have since misplaced it since I got a cheap otterbox knock off for now. Does the job, but I do miss the DotView for the cool factor.

I have an OEM Dot View case and love it. I spent about $15 for it on Amazon. HTC also updated Dot View to add more functionality. And I was surprised yesterday by the Halloween animations. I'm very impressed by it and glad I got it.
SoI received my case today in the mail and here are my findings:
1. The case closes just as well as the OEM one I had.
2. The plastic case itself feels a bit thinner that the OEM one but I like that since I felt the OEM one was a bit too thick and added bulk to the phone.
The "Seams are not as smooth as the OEM but I am going to try and use a nail file and see if I can't fix that my self
4. The "Springiness" of the hinge that is in the OEM is not present in this case as it was in the OEM
5. The cover does not lay flat on the back of the case when opened all the way but I think that is just due to the design of the case.
6. The case seeme to snap onto the phone as well as the OEM case did.
To me, the $8.00 I spent on this case is totally worth it. As a matter of fact, I might order myself a second one to have different colors to chose from. If you think about it, for the price of one OEM you can get 6 of these in different colors and still have $2 and change left over!
I posted some pics of the case but it's hard to see any details.
Hope this helps you guys make a choice.

And i had bought it from aliexpress for 18$ i am not sure if it was cuz of a mistake in pricing or what but soon after my purchase the price was 28$! I was just lucky i guess....
Wow. That does look nice. How does it compare to the original ballistic? The exact same feel or any differences? Also, how easy was it to replace?
Now I just need someone to verify that the Metalized Back will fit the 64GB and that there is't some memory module or something that makes it need the nylon back....

Never used the Ballistic Nylon b4 so cant commenr on that... But the back seems of really high quality... And has original Motorola Logo with serial numbers n stuff so i am pretty confident its an OEM product... So guess they should feel the same!
Does anyone know if these backs will work for the Moto Maxx (the non Verizon version)?

Was also curious about this. Just saw this update today: http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-turbo/general/red-64-gig-turbo-t2994543
TL;DR, it fits.
I want to try this but I'm concerned that I'll snap the frame.
Installation was painless. Used a guitar pick. No problems with the adhesive. Fits perfect.
i would KILL for a RED nylon one.

From some of the stuff I read is that there are some slight measurement differences between the devices. BN, Maxx, and the 32gb turbo.
So you all think it's worth the $25 to try this out then, right?
Still nervous about popping the back off a perfectly good phone, but man I want the normal black back instead of this nylon one.

I think that's just because the actual backs are different, but not anything else on the phone.

Got the Quick Circle Case for my new LG G4 with wireless receiver integrated inside it. In just $13.99, the combination of both Quick Circle and Wireless Charging Receiver is the best thing I am experiencing right now. I saw the original one on T Mobile that was available at a huge cost, around $50. But still confused, you can observe with my words that why this one is cost effective and other one is so costly? I am satisfied with the quality of this cheaper one as it also have 12 months warranty. So where the difference exist? couldn't able to understand!
What you have to understand is that cases = margin. The reason they are so expensive @ TMO is because it's all profit. If the case only costs TMO $5 to stock, and they sell it for $50, they just made a $45 profit. This profit covers overhead... Store employees, lights, phone, internet, etc etc.
Sellers on Amazon don't have to cover these expenses, thus they can get by with lower margins. Also, the case from Amazon isn't an official LG case, and most likely was sourced through cheap labor (read China, although the LG case is probably Chinese as well). The case probably costs the retailer $2-3 each depending on purchased quantity.
That's kind of a 1000 foot overview of how economics of retail works, but I hope you get the point.
I pre-ordered one last month for $9.99 from Amazon. But returned it. Its don't have the LG G4 logo and its make the phone look cheap. Still preferred the leather back with Qi Charging sticker xdddddd

I bought this Quick Circle case on ebay for about $14 with free shipping. It is Black, which is not a color available on the LG website. The packaging looked genuine LG, but it was all in Korean. It is very well made, lays flat when closed, and all apps work with the Quick Circle app. The qi wireless receiver is not molded into the back, but is an unobtrusive patch on the inside of the back cover. Wireless charging works very well. I charged my phone from 49% to 100% in just over 2 hours, which exceeded my expectations for wireless charging. Very happy with this result. If its not OEM, its dang close. Plus, the price is unbeatable!

is your black a bit floppy per say? The QI charging ones don't come in black. The red and black ones should be made of a soft, grippy, rubbery plastic. If it matches the description what the guy has done is throw in a Qi sticker onto it (or is a good generic.)

No, I know what cases you are talking about. I've seen the ads for the black and red "rubberized" circle covers, but have never seen either in the wild. The case I bought is an exact duplicate of the OEM LG Circle case, just in black (and the Qi receiver is not molded into the plastic, as previously stated). I did not expect this case to be as well made and perform as well as it does for the price. I will also say that the back of the case is slightly less slick than a dark silver one I did see in person. Another plus in my opinion. But again, this is not the grippy, rubber case I think we have both seen in ads.
Also, everyone should note that in order to get the circle case which has the Qi wireless receiver in it, it must be the one that replaces the original back (and not the cover that just snaps over the existing back of the phone).
LG's quickcircle uses a sticker on t he inside of the back.

Thanks! But i think it is better to buy the one with receiver inside. If buy a case and receiver separately, it can make the phone more bulky!

I wasn't saying the company is Chinese, I was saying that is most likely where the cases are made.
I got the original LG case for free with my phone, the catch being that it's pretty effing useless when my phone is the dual sim variant, which doesn't support wireless charging...
How do these work? Does it have a backplate AND a case? Or do you remove the original backplate and this case clips over it? Looking at the pictures it looks like a slim hard shell with a flap. I am just trying to connect the dots.

Non-QI ones slip over, QI one's replace and have the flap as part of the back.
For these cases, can the front cover flip all the way around and be placed against the back of the case? (EDIT: Yes, watched some youtube videos.)
If so, does the wireless charging still work when the front cover is flipped around and resting on the back of the phone?
I have a Qi wireless charging setup in my car mount. The phone+case wouldn't fit if the front cover is flapping around, and I'd like to make sure the charging would still work through the front cover+back plate.
EDIT: Got a response from one of the reviewers on youtube--some chargers did fine with the cover between the back, others had more trouble. Probably has to do with the quality/robustness of the qi charging element.
Just as a follow-up, I purchased the ebay one mentioned earlier in this thread.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/301670499081?var=600518006871
The text on the packaging is all in Korean, so maybe it's real. Or a really good fake.
It's $12.31 only!
One small issue I had when I put it on was that the wireless Qi charging was unreliable. It'd work for a minute, then stop. Or not at all.
I thought it was probably the issue the small contact in the case back not making a good connection to the phone. So I gently lifted up just that section and stuck a small wedge of paper underneath. Looks like it is working reliably now.
Because it's relatively inexpensive, and I usually use a TPU case on my phones put into a holster, I may just buy another one, cut off the front cover, and slip a TPU case over it. This way it's a relatively inexpensive OEM wireless charging back.
EDIT: I take it back, wireless charging worked great for about a day and then it completely stopped working. I tried to elevate the connection a bit more but no change. Not sure where the defect is coming from.
Also, the back is a tad larger than the normal snap-in back, as it fits onto the outside corners, given a bit of corner protection, so I do not know if a TPU case slipped over this would fit completely.
Now I'm not sure if the case is defective, or the phone is defective?!! Annoyed.

How do these work? Does it have a backplate AND a case? Or do you remove the original backplate and this case clips over it? Looking at the pictures it looks like a slim hard shell with a flap. I am just trying to connect the dots.

You need to remove the back case of LG G4 and than adjust this quick circle case according to the instruction given in User Manual!

Did your case come with the LG logo on it? I saw some pictures without the logo along with pictures where it had a logo, but was in the packaging. Please clarify.
Also, does it provide drop protection on the sides?

I bought this Quick Circle case on ebay for about $14 with free shipping. It is Black, which is not a color available on the LG website. The packaging looked genuine LG, but it was all in Korean. It is very well made, lays flat when closed, and all apps work with the Quick Circle app. The qi wireless receiver is not molded into the back, but is an unobtrusive patch on the inside of the back cover. Wireless charging works very well. I charged my phone from 49% to 100% in just over 2 hours, which exceeded my expectations for wireless charging. Very happy with this result. If its not OEM, its dang close. Plus, the price is unbeatable!

Had to order at that price. Does it charge well? Someone else here complained it didn't. I don't care, just don't want to waste money on the charger.
Also, does the cover stay closed?
VS986 (LG G4)
Has anyone has seen/bought a wireless charge cover for the G4 Dual?
The G4 single SIM back cover looks like this

The red circle shows the contact point for the wireless charger receiver, and goes to the contact point of G4 Single below (in red circle)

While, G4 Dual back side looks like this:
View attachment 3429740
If you look at the contact point of the wireless charger cover, the red circle doesn't have any correspondence contact point in the back side of G4 Dual
I've looked in ebay/ali's, all of them seems only for the single SIM G4. Couldn't find any for G4 Dual
hi guys, I cant understand if real black back cover really exists. Some vendors sells parts where they say the item is black, however you cant tell from photos if the color is real black or normal midnight blue.
Do they really exists? Or we have to manage with dbrand skins or similar to have a black n6?
Thanks for the info

There is no original black battery cover, but they do exist, just not official ones. You can buy them from ebay and so on.
By my experience some of these covers are nearly identical to original ones, but depends on your luck sometimes...

Thanks, I know that they are not officials, probably all you can find in ebay or china sites are just copy but it's ok for me.
If someone have a link to some items surely black I would appreciate

I just ordered this one the other day http://m.ebay.com/itm/251723199982?_mwBanner=1. Selecting the black one will be the one that's used on the Moto X Pro. Which is almost the same exact phone, just not the Nexus version.

Yes but the black one moto x pro doesn't have the nexus logo , only motorola
Moto X Pro battery cover looks grippy with soft touch material applied on top of plastic. It would work better than stock nexus 6 battery cover. I would ditch nexus logo on the back for a better grip.

I just got it in the mail today. Applied it. It fit excellent. It has a rubbery, soft touch feel. Way easier to grip than the factory one. I'm a fan. I think I might order a few more just to have them.

Very nice indeed, did the battery door come with its own adhesive ?
@Semseddin Yup. It has this super sticky adhesive already applied. The hardest part is getting the old one off. You have to be really careful. There's some heat shield or something that separates the battery and the back cover. Once I started removal, I used a manicure tool I had with a rounded edge to separate the back cover from it. Here's a good video showing the removal and replacement.

@JR442,
I can take it out using my bare fingernails, being a cell techician for quite a while.. I ordered 3 pieces of black battery doors. 1 for myself and 2 for my customers. I watched a nice moto x pro review on youtube by rozedked. Provides detailed look of the black battery door. I think more nexus6 owners will realize the need of this battery door as the stock plastic battery door is so fingerprint magnet and slippery and tends to get scratched easily. None of these would be an issue with the black soft touch moto x pro back cover.

Did you ever get any more of those? I went to order some more and they're sold out. I did find a place that sells the adhesive backing for them so I could reuse the one I have easily. I just did a frame swap because my blue frame had a couple nicks, plus I was tired of looking at it. Went with the frame from the white version this time.

Thank you! The one I got came with adhesive too. But it gets a little messed up if you have to remove it. That's where I was getting at when I said I found replacement double sided adhesive. Then you can peel off the old, heat up the new. Slap it on and reuse the same battery cover as often as you need to. Still... I'd love to be able to purchase some more if your seller has any left. There were two sellers on eBay I've seen and both of them are out of stock now. ?

Does NFC work with the pro X battery cover?

I've never actually tried it, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. It's made of the same material as the stock one. Just a soft touch rubber coating. I'd think the only thing that would hinder NFC would be something metal.
