Matte battery cover?

Hi guys,
I've seen the DIY project which is a pretty decent looking alternative but I was wondering if anyone has seen an actual Matte Battery Door yet? It'd be cool to have one like the Epic 4G's which still said Google on the back. (I think the Google looks oddly classy )
My searches have come up kinda empty so thought I'd ask.
Mini rant.... WHY?! WHY???! Is the back cover so prone to scratches.. it been only a week and a half or so and already I've seen scratches developing, in fact another happened just today.. it's really the one and only thing I don't like about it.. not sure what they were thinking..
Well if anybody has seen alternatives please let me know!
Thanks!

There is the Invisible shield Dry which is a matte back protector for it. It looks pretty sleek.

Plasti Dip it

you can get the invisibleshield dry from any of the sprint stores-- it's all they carry.
if you get the invisibleshield from ZAGG, they send the "wet" version, which is the cover everyone's used to.
the dry version is matte, and thinner, and doesn't use spray/sponge/liquid. it's not as "tacky" or sticky as the wet version, and you can still clearly see the google/samsung logo.
just be real sure to follow the instructions, squeegee from the center out, and give it a couple of days to fully cure. i saw a bunch of micro bubbles and what look like flaws after applications, and it looked like the dry shield didn't fully seal around the tiny dots on the cover, but after a couple of days it was perfectly sealed in. don't squeegee too hard, especially around the curves. it'll stick, and give it a day or two.
pretty happy with it, and it comes with the regular clear/tacky/sticky front shield, too, which is also applied dry. i found the squeegee to be a bit too stiff, and it's easy to dent and stretch the shield when squeegeeing it out.
ZAGG says to keep the device off, cuz the heat or something will affect curing. i just left mine on after application, and everything is perfect. there's orange peel, but it's minimal. no problems with touch sensitivity, and if anything i think it's better because fingerprints and oil don't show up.
i wonder if it's even worth shielding the front, though. i have an old blackberry that had nothing on it, and the screen i think is plastic, and i treated it like crap. no scratches.
but yeah, just go to a sprint store. they have em. best buy around here only sells the front shield. i prefer the dry matte back because it's thinner, and still does a good job.
fyi: ZAGG's guarantee and return policy are top notch. registering on their site is simple, and they'll ship out a replacement pretty quickly, and you just mail back your old shield as proof. they don't care what condition it's in. before i just ripped off an old shield and slapped it on a piece of paper.

Its Phantom Skins that sells it.....

So the Nexus S still doesn't have any third party back covers or battery doors? I can't stand the shiny plastic back. All I see on ebay are oem battery doors that are the same thing. Don't want to use a sticker/shield or dip.

I imagine that is because of the NFC that there aren't any replacement doors.

Correct.

The white version of the Nexus S actually has a very nice textured back on it. I wanted the white color to begin with but after seeing (and feeling) the difference between the backplate on the black version versus the white version, I much prefer the white one. The black one has no grip to it and, like the OP said, it scratches way too easily.

Yeah I thought about the zagg body shield but they unfortunately only had the screen. I decided to grab the wet one instead and I've never had better luck applying a screen protector.. heh the "wetness" really makes it easy to get the bubbles out and it cures awesome.
As for the battery cover.. it's already got a few scratches, but on top of that in the lower left corner it doesn't seem to snap in very securely, even in general use when tapping on the lower left part of the phone you can feel the battery door.. "click" a little bit as if its not latched properly, it makes a audible click sound as well.
I resolved this issue by putting a very thin strip of scotch tape on the inside of the door along the edge which produces just enough pressure to keep the clicking from happening and it feels more secure. (No you can't see it )
SO I'll probably just buy a new battery door eventually and use a body shield.. hopefully the new one will latch a bit more securely as well. It's not a big big deal, and the DIY fix by me is definitely just me nitpicking the tiny click feeling but still.. I think Samsung makes good products most of the time but they really should step up the build quality a little bit.
Thanks for the suggestions though guys

Actually I think I'm going to try the plasti dip on the existing cover to.. I could see that helping the latch as well because it would be just the tiniest bit thicker it would seem.

Idea: metal battery cover

Hey!
I thought of something. Perhaps someone could make a mould with the original back cover, and then remake it out of aluminium. That's all.

I would buy this in a heart-beat.

Wouldn't heat be an issue? My play can warm up a little bit just being idle in my pocket on a warm day.

Aluminum would help dissipate the heat quicker than the plastic cover which is more of an insulator.
I have doubts though about the durability and strength of a similarly thick aluminum cover. It would have to be much thicker than the plastic one to be of an protection.

Theres already one on ebay just search it
sent from my Xperia PLAY running DiXperia

All those on ebay are cases for the phone, i think we're talking about a replacement back panel here.
What i would REALLY like to see is a complete housing in aluminium, preferably anodized matte black.
Or somethign like the HTC one's body: http://www.tomsguide.com/us/HTC-One-S-Strong-Case-Ceramic-Metal-Process,news-14451.html

question is how will you put it on without damaging the tabs on the phone? we are able to put the back cover because it is flexible.

Very good point. Press tabs will require a flexible material like plastic. Most metal panels i've seen fit with a sliding lock.
This is one project that doesn't seem likely to see the light of day...

I was indeed thinking of a back cover replacement, and with an airbrushed-like look.

Aluminum cases produce Faraday cages (basically the device becomes shielded from radiation, including the wifi and 3g waves). Apple (first iPad 1 batches) and particularly Asus (Transformer Prime) have learnt that lesson at high costs.

doesn't the htc one that i mentioned earlier have an aluminum shell?

Xperia play antenna placement is probably not optimised for a metal housing. The Sony Xperia S would have more luck on that matter due to it's (semi) external antenna.

+1 on the antenna topic. I dismantled my Play once and the antennas are on the back, it would be a very bad idea to use an all-aluminium back cover, unless you don't use 3G, wifi, GPS, etc...

I wish they had use the chrome all around, not just the sides, even if its fake chrome.

You're kidding right? You actually want an all-chrome phone?

I'd actually rather see Xperia PLAY get a battery cover that's made out of a grip-improving non-glossy matte material (like what the Xperia X10 has).

The Xperia Play battery cover is one of the worst parts of the phone. It's flimsy, plain and it attracts grime like a magnet. They need to improve it badly in a second iteration...
My favorite battery cover was the one on the Huawei Selina. While the phone itself is a piece of crap, the cover is firm, nice to handle and easy to remove.

Except for the chrome strips on the sides (and they weren't that bad), my zte blade/orange san francisco had such a nice rubbery matte finish. i hope manufacturers finally do the sensible thing and shift to matte finishes...

Metal bumper case question.. For those who own one.

Does your metal bumper case have a slight raise from the side to prevent scratches to both front and back especially the camera lens?
Do you think it would fit with a slim case?
Please post a link where you bought it.
Thank you very much and pardon my engrish!

I bought one a couple of weeks ago. I think the aluminium case gives good screen protection, but although it is reasonably low profile the few millimetres each side do seem to make the Note 2 feel much bigger. I personally don't think it's the most elegant case, they look OK from the front, but the back doesn't seem to follow the flow of the stock battery case too well.
Don't get me wrong, the phone fits in perfectly without any movement but not my cup of tea. I lose one bar on the phone signal when the case is on, NFC is fine.
Possibly a like or hate accessory!

Thanks for all the replies. That was my main concern. I wanted a metal bumper case that has a slight rise to protect the camera lens. I'm going to buy a ballistic 3 layer protection case since GN2 can be easily damage even at waist height drop.
Why ballistic? Because its relatively cheap, unlike otterbox and offers awesome drop protection. Had one for E4GT and money worth spending.
Thanks again.

i use that one. slight raises on the front and back to protect the camera. It adds a little weight to the phone but its not unbearable. I actually like it. I also got the armror suit military shield screen and back protector. Screen protector was not compatible with the case, cause when I removed the phone from the case, the sliding portion of the front peeled the screen protector off. and the added thickness of the armorsuit full body protector makes it very snug in the case. probably the reason why it the screen protector peeled off as I was trying to remove it.

these bumper cases, esp the metal ones.. are they easy to remove/replace? As a frequent traveler, I switch batteries every night to make sure that i'll always have a fully charged spare.. I'd hate to use the bumper case where you need a small screw to open (i think I saw a bumper case like that once).

Where'd you buy yours? I'm looking for a coffee colored metal door.

If theres any UK users in this thread that wants a black aluminium bumper for free then let me know and PM me your address. I bought one to try along with a selection of cases but am unlikely to use it. Its a great fit for the phone and is a screwless design.......the front plate slides up and snaps into place. I bought it from the link below.

Agree with your assessment of the images. Hopefully someone will order one and post better pictures.

I'd buy one, but I live in an area where I get 2-3 bars. That case would put me into permanent roam.

I don't think it is much different than the gs2 model, as it's just a simple 2-piece frame. Somebody - who ridiculously tries to assemble it with one hand, while shooting the video with the other - posted a Youtube video. I cannot paste the link as I'm a new member.

doesnt really look like a good design.
the holes around the headphone jack and the microusb port seem to be smaller than the holes in my ebay bumper case. given that my ebay bumper case stops me from using a lot of headphone cables and microUSB cables, i would assume this case would be downright silly for the price.

I don't like it....
.I bought this case for s II and note...but design for note 2 is failed

Metal bumpers for Note 2 are terrible designed because Note 2 is too curvy compare to other phones and the bumpers usually does not fill in the gaps of the curve back, and usually at the same level without raised edges to protect the back from scratching too.
A no no for me since I tried with a cheap bumper case from eBay

i think this is a bumper you're looking for. raised over the back so your phone's back cover wont touch whatever you put it on.

OMG 70 bucks for a BUMPER!?!?!?! JFC!!!!?!?!?!?

Sorry guys, maybe I don't get this, but wouldn't any metal bumper case be only for looks and not protection? Edges of the phone, when dropped, are the most vulnerable points, and slapping on it a tight fitting metal will just transfer the shock instead of absorbing it to protect the phone. Am I missing something? These bumpers don't look like hollow metal tube with a "crumble zone" and inner soft lining. It looks awesome as hell, original for sure!!! But with additional weight to our phablet and what seems to be like a slick grip-less sides - wouldn't you worry that phone will be even more vulnerable to drop out of your hand/pocket with a higher chance of damage? Of course, I'm looking more from a practical point of view, while missing the whole pimping aspect of it lol!!!

Since the aluminium bumper is mainly one solid piece with a smaller one on top it acts like a strong exoskeleton taking all the force. For me the importamt thing is to have big enough cushion inside in order to avoid getting the phone in direct contact with the metal and also big enough lips to protect the front amd back.

I can see clearly, now the Orzly is on! (Video Included)
There is nothing worse than getting your fresh new phone and knowing that you have to cover up the beautiful thing with some hefty, bulky case. I personally hate it because it hides the beautiful new design. Therefore, I have searched high and low for cases that give me the protection without actually hiding the phone. I have tried numerous cases, and they all met below my expectations, now maybe I’m to picky or maybe there isn’t a case out there that does this for me, maybe I should live on the wild side and just not have a case! That seemed a little drastic, so I continued searching and came a across a case which I have not really seen before. The case is called,
**Drum roll please**
**Pause for dramatic effect**
Orzly Fusion Bumper Case!! (Cheers & clapping)
After finding this case, I could not believe my eyes, finally a case which does not hide the beauty of my new G4. It has a clear back, which will save my device from the eternal war of key scratching in the battlefield that is my pocket. It also, has a nice bumper thing around the edges, which will give me that much needed protection from everyday little bumps and knocks. Also it will give me some added grip while taking the phone in and out of my pockets, as well as when I’m a little bit heavy handed with my phone after a long day at work.
So I purchased the case from the Amazon.com website, as this was the only place I could find it, I looked on other outlets but as the phone is so new (not even out in most parts of the world). It arrived in the morning I knew I could revel in my glory; I came home from work and noticed a package on the floor. Upon opening the package, I could see that my case had arrived. Anyway, I quickly opened the package and before I knew it I placed my phone inside, the case was a very tight fit, but I think this is a good thing, I hate when cases loose their shape after time or come off too easily!
After that, I inspected the orzly case and noticed that all the buttons were accessible, well that and there are not any buttons on the side so this was not really a big danger. In addition, I inspected where my trusty charger and headphone ports where, and to my relief these were accessible. I also like that around the headphone port there is enough room for my DJ headphones. They have a slight bigger plastic around the jack and so this was a big plus for me, I mean I do not mind the smaller headphones, but when I am travelling on trains or planes for work, I like to use these as they a by far more comfortable.
So overall, I am extremely happy with my purchase, finding my perfect case has been an experience. On that note, I shall end my small story with a few words of the great Neil Armstrong.

Here is my video review

Sorry i forgot to post my video

That is one ugly cutout.

Haha I found your review of that quite amusing! Never have I heard someone so passionate about a case for their phone. I like the fusion too especially for the LG G4, perfect to protect the leather back but you can still see it. I've been reading the leather scuffs quite a bit so protection like this is need IMO. Anyways I was able to find a link to the video from Orzly, it's a bit more in depth than the one you've posted so thought I'd share it on here

I am still holding out for a true bumper case or edge guard so I can put tons of scratches, dents, water spots, etc. on the leather. That real minimal one with the corner clamp from china seems shady, but it's a start for $4.
And I'm looking at my wallet and I love the look of it after being smoothed out and beat up after a year in my back pocket.
First thing I do though is I'm going to spray it down real well with a water seal and conditioner you'd use for nice leather shoes to give some resistance to stains.

I never actually thought about using water seal and conditioner on my wallet or leather back, it does make sense now that you say it.

Thanks for the link!
This ebay seller has some great reviews! I hope my case arrives soon!!

Does the Orzly case go on and come off easy for the leather back? I had read a few reviews that the case is difficult to remove and the leather corners get scuffed removing the case.

After a couple weeks of use, IMHO you should AVOID this case.
It gets easily scratched -no rough treatment received- with lots of tiny marks and smudges, it's really hard to remove when using the leather back, it doesn't have double layering or cushioning on the corners.
It's hard to appreciate the small scratches in pictures unless you reflect some light:
Plus, it leaves cutout markings on the leather back cover:
Seriously disappointed. I'm getting a Spigen or Ringke next.

I think any transparent case is going to have issues of getting the micro scratches on the back. It's also not the greatest in taking on and off with the leather back for sure. I surprisingly don't have any issues taking my UAG case on and off with my leather back.

Yes and no, I had a Samsung S4 with a Ringke and it didn't get this scratched this fast.
