Nexus S Backcover

Is it possible to get replacement backcovers for the Nexus S? A buddy of mine that works at Google swapped his Android backcover for my retail one. But I also want the normal one as well.

Me too. I've been searching around Google, but nothing yet. Today for my N1, I bought a battery cover for $21 on True Supplier, so I'm sure they'll eventually pop up.

I'd prefer the one with the little androids all over it I think.

I would totally buy just the back cover if they sold it separately.

Yeah I would be all over the back cover with the androids on it too

I wonder how much they'd be because of the integrated antenna.

HTC gave me a free one for saying my lens thing cracked. They were usually $30 oem. I think there's quite a bit more to the build of the ns back though. It's like half the phone! You could pretty much refurbish the device to new with one. hehe

Wow. I just got a flood of PMs asking to trade my back cover. -_-
Only if you guys throw in cash.

the phone is pratically brand new, it's just been a couple of weeks at best.
give it a couple of months, and the market will be full of selections to choose from, just like whent he Galaxy S started, there was barely any accessories for it.
Now every website you go to, it's flooded with all kind of parts & accessories for the SGS.

I'll pay the monies! I wants the precious!

Anyone have any updates on the back cover? Been looking for one for a few days now with no luck.

Does anyone have a pic or any idea of what the Google employee nexus s battery door looks like?

im looking for a replacement battery door for my NS also.

Battery cover

I bought nexus s from craigslist and got ripped off... Someone sold me a phone without back battery cover. It came with a case and seller was in a hurry so I bought it by inspecting the software.
Can some one help me in buying a cheap case? Nfc is not a problem for me... I just want a 10-15 bucks battery cover...

Call Samsung support. They'll ask for imei and just tell then you broke your battery cover. Then say you heard they sold replacements. They'll check and then they'll sell it to you for $16. Took a little more than a week for me to get one.

lol he probably wasnt actually he in a hurry. it missing the back cover leads me to believe that he probably stole it off a display.

Thanks man! you saved my life. Just called samsung support and had them send me the back cover for $16.23 with free 5-7 days shipping.
I also asked for the warranty on the product and they said that it was till March 2012. I also noticed that the screen has permanent impression of the virtual keyboard on it. First i thought that restoring to factoring settings will fix it but no... I still have the virtual keyboard impressions on the screen. I think it is the problem with the digitizer. They said that they will replace it for free. Now I am gonna have a cool phone once it comes back from Samsung.
Thanks a ton for showing me the way.
Anyhow, one more question, My phone is rooted and is running a custom rom on it, is it still under warranty? I am sure there should be a way to unlock the bootloader and return back to stock ROM, can you show me a thread please... I am gonna search also but I want to make sure I am doing it right before i do it... so that they don't deny me the warranty...
Thanks,
Edit/update: searched and found everything. Returned back to stock. It's so simple with nexus s! Thanks everyone who helped me

Go to samsungs nexus s website, the number will be listed where it says support. You just talk to a rep who will handle everything.

Just google samsung support phone number. It will help if you register your phone on their website before calling because that will save you some time.

What are you doing for the glue on the digitizer?
Sent from my R800x using XDA

If you need a replacement volume rocker try looking for broken Xplays on ebay. There could be a good chance that the volume rocker is good and just a broken screen, or something.

You linked up the same one I bought, Just dont replace the middle housing with the speakers and L1 R1 buttons, Use the same housing that came with your r800x , I found out the hard way... After re housing my phone Ive been without service on my device, theres a piece on the middle housing that is needed for the r800x to pick up on Verizons service. But you have the right item in your original post, sorry for long delay, I got pretty sick :/

I was able to remove the piece from one middle housing and put it on the other . I post some photos soon I wanna post a write on it all so other users can do this without all the hassle since I found out the hard way. But ill share you some pics here shortly, I got a few people I need to get some info out to also , I need to get caught up on my android work!
Sent from my R800x using xda premium

Check out the first photo where the back of the middle plate has a black sticker on it, that black sticker on the other side of it is a gold ribbon that goes into the housing and makes contact with two pins on the bottom end of the mother board.
The second photo is the replacement I ordered from the same link you posted in your OP. You could buy the one you linked and peel back the black sticker and super glue it back to the replacement middle housing, which is what I did because the back of the L1 and R1 are white on the new housing and the Verizon triggers are black on the back, looks better in white and in picture three I think I did a pretty decent job even though the photo does it no justice, and minus my thumb print!

Why don't they charge $6 more and put the NFC antenna on these things? The batteries are great, but without NFC, going forward are going to lose my business.

Does anyone know where to buy these apart from Amazon (for non US buyers)

Mine came with a piece of crap NFC that didn't even work. I ended up using the one from the stock case and scotch taped it to the phone. Lol works just like the OEM backplate now. It only looks bad when you show off the battery.
Funny enough I've had four different backplates and the only two that worked were the OEM ones.

I just ordered my Anker and hoping the NFC is not crap on it. Also, going to do the vinyl mod that's been talked about in the extended battery cover thread.

Has anyone seen a flip cover type case for these 6200+ mah batteries?

The one I got from Amazon had NFC on it. The site didn't mention it but it didn't work anyway. lol

Yea I had to take the NFC off my original back door and connect it to the Anker back door.

Replacement stock or aftermarket back/battery door for VZW G2??

Has anyone found replacement battery doors/backs for the Verizon G2 anywhere? Looking for either a stock/OEM one or different looking aftermarket ones. Surprised there aren't a ton of different looking and different material ones on eBay and Amazon. Nothing but ugly cases and ugly skins - and not even many of those.
Imagine a replacement back that is a soft touch type material like the Nexus 5, and with no ugly logos? Not much hope though since there don't seem to be any now...

I know that feel bro.

I've ordered parts from this company before. They're based out of Hong Kong, so expect shipping to take at least a week.

I have seen that site before but the back door is still plastic as the one that LG g2 has. I would like to change my back door with something better if there is a chance finding something nice. Maybe if we will wait a little bit more. Something better will show up. Thanks anyway
