I'm looking for a back cover replacement thats the same material as the flip cover case from Samsung. Anybody able to find these or something like that? I just got a TPU case from Mercury but it's just about as slippery as the oem back still and adds some thickness. I'm pretty picky about cases, so they have to really be worth it for me too use.
UPDATE: I misspoke. I was under the impression that the flip case from Samsung had a non-slip matte finish on the back, as opposed to the glossy slippery one that's stock. The hunt continues.

Hi,
I'm looking a case for i9023. I have seen around and still get confused about the thickness of some models being different. So if someone could direct me to the proper cases that would fit perfectly on my phone that would be great.
Things i would like are: Not too big and bulky, I'd like white thin and good looking cases though black will do. Thats about it.
Thanks for your time and your help!
Nillkin white case should do what you're asking for!
nilkin case is the best case out there for i9023. I ordered from obostore u can google it easily. Fyi it took 2weeks for me.

How much protection does this actually have? I can't justify replacing my TPU case which is made for the AMOLED version, but barely fits my SLCD. I want to get it because it looks amazing, but if it can't protect from medium drops there is no point in me getting it.
Guys, thanks for the replies. I ended up looking around and finally decided to get 2 mesh cases fromebay. Igot a black one to fit in with miui's colour scheme and a blue one to fit with ics colour scheme. Thanks for the replies!
There are two types of nillkin cases available. Have a look at obostore

Did you take a look at the Seidio case I love mine with the holster ( belt clip) it's very robust
I use a "CLEAR Soft Flexi Hard Case Samsung Google Nexus S I9023". It fits well, and the quality is acceptable.
Guys, I just bought the nilkin hard case white. Now I just gotta play the waiting game
I didn't get the soft white one that one of you suggested because I wanted a hard plastic one..
But keep the suggestions coming! So that people with i9023 can come here to see different cases available

Someone know if the Ballistic case can fit i9023 model? Someone in this forum seem was able to use it with this model but looking around I found some negative comments about it. The ballisticc manufactor after interpelled can not confirm the compatibility.

I've been thinking about cutting the back off of my cheap gel case. Or buying a rubber wrist band and cutting out holes for the ports/buttons.
Is there any special advantages of having a bumper over a gel case?

I must have been lucky cause it arrived in 6 days - overseas shipping Hong Kong to New Zealand
Overall the fit of the case is really good, fits as good as my oem one. Everything clicks into place.
The carbon fibre immitation weave looks good, its made up of plastic. It kinda reminds me of a wicker basket pattern.
The texture feels alot grippier than stock case and has a matte finish to it.
What about NFC? And does it come in other colors?

I saw this listed on EBay and now that I see what it looks like installed, I may get one myself. I'll bet it would look sweet with a black aluminum bumper case too! My only concern is if it's thicker than the original cover. The bumper cases are a pretty tight fit.
I don't have any calipers to measure it but it feels real slim. At a guess it may be like 1mm thicker but minimal.
I haven't tried removing my stock nfc as I don't use it so can't answer your question

I bought it from ebay. I can't find the seller, below is a link to another one, I paid the same amount.
I did test it out, it did not scratch my phone, even with the screen protector on.

I also had a similar but cheaper bumper before, that one does not have the cut out for the power button and volume rocker, it's also thicker in size. No problem with that one either.

I am not sure since this one is thinner, but I can check it out later when I go home.
I don't really care about that because I used aftermarket backs with the bumper. These backs are usually a little thicker so they protect the lens even if you set it flat.

Hi everybody,
Here you can post your experience about the slippy grip of your mobile (especially N7100), and how you've got rid of it; either with using special casing or without using any casing.
Thanks for your participation.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
I didn't. The Note 2 needs to be slippery for me so it can slip into my pocket.
I tried to use casing, but itmakes mobile looks bigger, also I removed the chrome from the bezel thinking it will help, although it looks more fun to me but still very slippery. I'm searching here and there, the only reasonable solution is to replace the battery cover with one like Note3 battery cover, but it's not available in markets in my country, I have to go through ebay or amazon

If you're willing to try; you could spray it with Plasti-Dip http://www.plastidip.com/
It will give your phone a rubbery/grippy feel, but is easily removed if needed.
You could either spray the battery cover with it, or also spray the bezel as well for ultimate grip.
I use an Imak Cowboy shell case; it has a really nice/grippy texture and adds very little bulk to the phone. You can pick them up for $10 on eBay.

I find the Ringke Slim case adds a nice level of grip, or rather adds a non slippery surface that's grippy enough. It still slips effortlessly in and out of my pocket. Also it really doesn't add any bulk at all. Try a search and I'm sure you'll see some photos.

Scotch Brite scouring pad might do it.
I recall people using that method to give a 'matte' appearance to the GS2 plastic bezel.
