Replacing the battery door on i9023

I wanted to replace the battery door on my Nexus S 4G with a more textured one. I came across this, which is the battery door for the white Nexus S (i9020). Would it also be able to fit on the i9023?
I'm getting tired of using a case, but if I'm not using one, I tend to drop the phone a lot cause there's no grip with the glossy back...

As I tried out the white cover for the Nexus S 9023, I have to say the white (9020) doesn't fit for it. Near the USB connector there is a small (2 millimeters) space, which is, in my opinion, not normal.
If you are interested I can share the pictures (back) with you and you can see how it looks like on the 9023.
Kind regards,
me

Please do share how it looks like, im also interesting in buying the white one, i got tired of black glossy one.

Hy, how about putting a high quality sticker on the cover? This is how my collection of battery covers for i9023 looks. I have two covers with Zagg stickers, and they improve grip and also look cool They also have a 50% sale that ends today

Not trying to hijack your thread here, but are others here sure that a cover for i9023 will not fit an i9020?

You can always ask the seller if the back fits a I9023. I came across that eBay back cover a few moments ago then found the same one in this thread, i was wondering the same question, if it will fit - the i9023 is thicker
I have purchased screen protectors from eBay for my I9023 which were made for the i9020 and it was to small for my i9023, not by a lot. So I think they might be two different sized phones.

This thread might help with the phone sizes.

Official Samsung flip cover + back case combo?

Is there some sort of case that I can use to protect the back of the phone that works with the flip cover? I can almost get a gel case on the back, but without making some modifications with a craft knife (I am useless at that sort of thing), I can't fold the cover back with it attached.
There must be some solution out here that allows me to use the flip cover with protection on the back?
Thanks for any advice.

I would like to know this too. Any info would be much appreciated.

Case Combo that Works
I use both a Flip Case and a Hybrid Case together giving me front cover, all around protection and kickstand. I attached the flip case. I then cut a small section from the left side of the hybrid case to allow the cover on the flip to open freely and attached it to the GN2 with the flip cover. Here are the ebay products I used:
Black Luxury Flip Case Brushed Cover For Samsung Galaxy Note 2 II N7100 NEW - $8.66
Black Hybrid Jolt Hard TPU Case Cover Kickstand For Samsung Galaxy Note II 2 - $9.95

Its just the cutting part I wanted to avoid. Im quite surprised samsung didnt develop a back case to compliment the flip cover.
Looks like im gonna have to try and cut a section out of my gel case then, or find someone who has some cutting skills.

The flip cover replaces the original back cover.

Why don't you get a cover that had a flip built in. They seem to cost the same.

Isn't the entire back the replaced cover? Unless you want to protect the camera more...

No. I want to protect the back from getting scratched up and from knocks and bumps.

Hmm,a badly cut edge could scratch the metal part.which is not replaceable. Since you're thinking of buying a case anyway, why not spend the extra 5 dollars and go for one's with built in flip cover. They look the same the oems

Looking for a slim leather pouch

Hello guys.
I am searching for a new case for my note 2.
Currently i have a tpu case on the back but I want something different.
Thought to get a wallet case (spigen) but they are so bulky. Don't think that I will like it.
Now i decided to look for a slim and nice leather pouch.
I found one from buggati, mumbi, krusell luna and the original Samsung pouch.
Which one can you recommend or doym you have other nice options for me?
Thanks in advance

I just ordered one of these yesterday. I had one of their sleeves before for my Galaxy Tab and it was great. Good padding, well-made, very inexpensive. The protection on the sleeve seemed reasonable, though I cannot yet comment on this new item.

Pouch
First I went with one $9 belt pouch from eBay that was junk (I can fit two Note II inside). In the past I had Monaco pouch with belt clip for my ol;d Samsung smartphone running Windows Mobile and it was the best pouch I ever owned so I did some search and found that Monaco has a horizontal (and vertical) pouch designed specially for Note II. It cost more than average pouch but I can assure you it is really a high quality product and N2 fits inside well. I've ordered it from here along with car charger to get free shipping:

Can you post a link to that eBay case or do you want to sell it? I'm looking for a belt holster/pouch that I can use with a case. The two I've bought so far will only hold the naked phone.

Have you seen this from Samsung?

I don't like this horizontal case. The original pouch looks great and is really slim but I don't know how it holds the phone and how you can push the phone out of the case.

I had the 2nd one for my note 1, quality isn't good but for a cheap price i guess it was worth it.

I've been using this
http://www.pdair.com/index.php/smar...te-ii-gt-n7100-vertical-pouch-type-brown.html
It's a leather vertical pouch. I like it so far.

I use this one:

However, I've moved on to the Siedio case.

Im looking for a pouch where it can fit while in a case havent found one yet

So got the Waterfield case. It's a thin sleeve, won't really provide any protection from drops (just protection from scratches and scuffs in a pocket). It's not bad, and at $10 it seems reasonably well-made. Fits nicely. Really just a cloth pouch though.

Looks the same as the one you don't like but for $5 can't go wrong. I like it. It has rings as well as a belt clip. It also holds the note 2 with a tpu case on.

Tpu bumper

I've been looking for a tpu bumper for a while. I can't seem to find one on eBay or Amazon. If I do find one, it's the Korean version with one of the corners cut.
Anyone know where I can find a blsck tpu bumper?

There's not really any tpu bumper available for the gn2. There are quite a few aluminium bumper though

Yeah I've got an aluminum one but my signal isn't that good with it on.

That's what they do not want. That one in the eBay link has the corner cut out. They want a solid one, with no missing corner/edge for the Korean antenna

Yea looking for a tpu bumper without the corners cut.
All I can find are ones with the corner cut. There must be more Korean versions of the Note 2 out.... Hard to believe.

Hi DarkMan,
I've had one of these on my Note N7000 for nearly 2 years, and it's saved it several times. Once I was running on a treadmill with it, pulled earphone cable by accident, launching the Note to the belt, I then trod on it, it was spat out the end, and someone else walked on it. I was livid, though it's be in a hundred pieces after that,... not a scratch. Twice saved it falling on a road/footpath, screen down, again, not a scratch. I'll be buying another for my Note II when it arrives. Also, it fits a tight as a drum, and I take mine off once a day to swap to a spare battery, hasn't ripped or torn once.
Hope it's of help. :good:

does tmobile cases fit att ???

i just looked on incipio website and for the dual pro, the skus r exactly the same for the tmobile and att version, but when i called them the other day they said the feather shine for tmobile wouldnt fit on att (i have att model) i would love the feathershine but i don't wanna spend the money if its not going to fit properly .. is the att and tmobile version differnt from another? if so, whats different?

After a little searching I guess the phone is slightly bigger then the tmobile/sprint version. But read that TPU cases will fit snug on it. I also read somewhere that the ATT variant has a extra mic hole or something?

I'm pretty sure that International/TMO/Sprint/ATT share the same dimensions, except that ATT has a mic on the back for noise cancellation. It probably won't be a deal breaker.
I was jealous too because Tmobile suddenly got this whole selection of cases available nowhere else. Hella overpriced too.

I got the tech21 flip case and the LG clear view flip from T-Mobile for my ATT G2. They fit great.

I bought a case for my AT&T phone at T-Mobile because AT&T didn't have cases in yet when I got my phone last Monday. It fits fine. It was overpriced though...

So does the case cover the mic on the back of the phone near the camera?

Will T-Mobile fit Verizon...I know the button hole will be bigger, but will it fit? Just curious if anyone know.

If that's what that little dot between the lens and the flash is, then no, there is a cutout there. I'd take a picture but I already sold my old phone!
