Any possible replacement back covers coming? - G2 Accessories

Just wondered if anyone has heard about possible third party back cover in the works, since it's relatively easy to take off. I would think some 3rd party vendors may jump on it. I hate this shiny fingerprint/scratch magnet. Phone would be perfect with a better back case. I hate cover/cases.
I'm digging the scratch resistance on the phone... so so much better than GNEX I came from. That thing would scratch if I looked at it too hard.

+1 for this..
I've been regularly camping Ebay for such an item but in vain

Better yet, a back cover with a wireless charging coil on it.

I gotta think someone will eventually bring something out. Should be a huge market for it.

Yeah, but the Verizon version ( ia hve already has the coil, right? Just hate the back cover on this thing. I have not tried the induction charging yet... guess I need to find a deal on the charger. Does anyone know if the quick charge feature still works with the wireless charging? I really dig how fast my phone charges. Would be a bummer if wireless was slow.

The thing is.. not everybody has the guts to open up the phone..
Unlike the S4.. back covers were readily available the moment the phone was out.

Probably not gonna happen unfortunately. It is not officially removable and the market for it wouldnt be that big.

They said the same int about the iPhone 4 when it first came out. Give it time. The key is going to be which versions will be produced. I'd like someone to maker one for each carrier so we can each have a chance to have a backup cover

http://www.etradesupply.com/lg/android-models/lg-g2-d800.html Looks like they have a back cover for the D800,

That explains the hole in my BodyGuardz skin..
The D802 definitely doesn't have that either.
We can still get the D800 back cover.. and find some ways to cover the hole.. But yea I'm looking for an ideal D802 white back cover.

Hopefully this will fit the sprint version. Figured the money I spend on a body wrap I can just use towards replacing the back cover when I'd resell the device.

HTC Incredible pre-release battery door for sale

I have a Droid Incredible Pre-release battery door and want to sell it. I've only used it once and got a few months after the release. This is extremely rare and I rather not sell it but i need the cash. It has the the cool android dude on it and says HTC Incredible. It also comes with the inner cover that you can replace to get red accented power and volume buttons.It is in great condition. Price is negotiable. I haven't seen anyone else ever sell one of these so I know its extremely rare and I don't have another one. If anyone may like to buy this please PM me with an offer. I have had this in my display case above my desk but I need to sell it now. I remember some people on the XDA wanted it so Im posting it here. XD
This auction has been moved to ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/HTC-Droid-Incre...Accessories&hash=item41545a22bd#ht_500wt_1156

I think its really cool. It was the original battery door to the Incredible, but before it was released they changed it to the the cheaper black rubber door.
$20. LMK. pay pal ready.
Will help pay for something better than a web cam.
I'll offer $30 USD.
very sexy, not good for me since i use a case but i have a question,
what is the process of replacing the inner cover?

To Replace the inner cover, you have to unscrew the screws and carefully pry off the undercover. This will void your warranty but it will also allow you to have red accented buttons XD.
Id totally enter this auction if I didn't feel like I've already spent a fortune in accessories and batteries and whatnot.
Tis a damn sexy case though, that's for certain. Dunno if id be willing to void my warranty to get the red accents, however.

Point is they usually don't go for anything, because nobody sells them.
I researched and found out that this battery door was on some dummy units. It's not actually a "pre-release" door.

youre kinda right but these are dummy phones you found on ebay, means the back door is glued/screwed on and not interchangeable...so even if it's not a prerelease door at least it will fit on someones phone

After looking at this Ebay page more closely, I found that the battery covers that they have and I have are different. The speaker hole on mine isn't even that shape. If you compare my photos to theirs, you will see how theirs is fake. The original prerelease battery covers have the main speaker hole the way mine does.
yeah they're not the same as the one you have..the ones you have were sold on a site a couple months back but sold out
Isn't it backwards? The camera and LED ports are on the right????

This is going to be interesting. I don't think vendors unless there is a huge demand are going to make separate runs for these phones. I could be wrong and probably am. This might suck for cases.

What does "soon" mean? It probably means "the day after you scratch the crap out of your brand-new G2 because you didn't have a case on it."

Nope. It just slips and falls over.
Have had the case now for over a day and I do have a few thoughts about it. Purchased at a Verizon store last Sat(none in my area had it in stock apparently) for $48 with tax and 3 day shipping to my home. Color was the grey which I thought went really well with my gunmetal model. Upon putting it on the phone I felt that the fit was spot on. The back snapped right into place and the front flip cover rests evenly on the screen. Functionality of the case is second to none. It works as advertised ranging from being able to see time and current weather conditions to making and answering calls.
Some of the other things that will light up are any incoming text messages and you can also dismiss any alarms that you have set to go off by simply following the gestures. A big question that I had when I bought the case was whether or not that the music playback would be hindered. I'm very happy to report that audio playback was just as clear and precise as if the cover wasn't over the front of the device. Another plus is when you open the cover the phone automatically unlocks and the screen shuts off when the cover goes back on. Thus greatly eliminating use of the top mounted power button.
I felt the choice of the materials for the case were not bad. The rear material certainly doesn't feel like a cheap plastic by any means, but it's nowhere near as nice as the phone's metal finish. The most comfortable way of using the phone for me was to hold the cover with my left hand and use my right to operate the phone itself. Now, I have rather large hands so this could obviously be different if you weren't blessed with such a thing. Folding the front of the case back over the rear proved to be uncomfortable to me. Another downside is the fact that the front cover cannot double as a kickstand when positioning the phone in landscape. When done so, the phone just falls flat on its back.
Overall, I definitely like the case. It has that wow factor to it as everyone I have showed it to have been amazed by it's functionality. The only things that HTC should improve on it is to have the front flap being able to fold back and stay flush on the rear of the device. I also would had like for the front flap to stay open when you open, but the trade off is that when it springs back into position it does a good job of staying over the screen, even in a loose pocket. I noticed no addition use of the screen during the day in Gsam battery monitor. If I were to give it a score out of 10 I'd place it at an 8. Only major cons would be price and certain aspects of holding the device depending on hand size.
I'd have to tip my hat to HTC for coming up with the concept. If anyone has anymore questions about it feel free to ask.
Found this on ebay:

amazon started listing the colored variations today, but all of them are marked as "available for preorder"
any chance you could post a couple of pics showing what the case looks like when open and folded back? All the photos i've seen of it don't show this. want to know how much it bulks the phone out.
cheers
Managed to pick the one and only one of these up from my local Phones4U in Croydon today, then went to the other local Phones4U and bough the other one, looks like they are finally starting to trickle in.
Figured out how to get the case to function as a kickstand. It's simple, but involves needing something else like a laptop or book as a prop. Simply open the cover and fold it over the back of the device. Then just rest the device on the laptop or book of your choice. Then, boom it stays put in place and with the way I got it, the angle is pretty nice for viewing.

Anyone try Phone Grips on Note 8? Opinions? Suggestions?

Anyone try one on a Note 8? I never actually used one on my own phone. Was testing out on my brother phone, not note 8. Seemed pretty handy and useful. I don't wanna waste $10-20 on one, if it's not good with Note. So trying to get opinions from people who used on Note 8.
Opinions? Suggestions? Please & thanks!

one of them looks like a door knob. I do get the value of functionality of these things but god does it make the phone look prehistoric/abominable .
I have an ultra thin phone ring with magnetic capabilities so that I can mount it in the car. 3mm thick. Works great. Stuck it onto a dbrand skin rather than an open back. I can not only wireless charge with it but also fit it in a VR headset.
Thought of using something like this before but decided not too when i realized it would be hard to write on my phone with the spen while placed on top of a table. The phone would just be wobbly since it wont be flat on the table
This 1 might be just right. Got funded 4Xs over goal.

You could try Loopy case. I use it on my Note 8 and absolutely love it. I have small hands but with this i can reach every corner of my phone. Had a few on my previous phones and im impressed. Daughter has pop sockets, other filmsy rings-straps and after trying them my opinion is that loop is way better.

Don't know, i am not using wireless charger. There are videos on youtube with loopy case + iPhone and charging works so i belive that it would work with note 8 also. If you test it let us know because i wanted to buy wireless charger but had doubts just like you.
