Is the LG G2 D802 OEM battery door the same for the black and white models? I am getting a black LG G2 but I want to change the battery door to the white one, but I don't know if it fits. The black one seems to have no NFC tag or some antenna while the white one has. Anyone knows? I want to make my LG G2 look like a Nexus device!
Thanks.
As long as you get the back cover for your model, there shouldn't be a problem.
I had that exact same thinking as yours but just can't find a cheap OEM back cover. If you do, do let me know!
Cheapest I had found was $29 for a replacement back cover. I'll probably end up doing the white back too. Always liked that look

Would like to know where I could possibly get a custom battery door (aluminium material). Not sure if they are anybody that makes/sells it :/

I've never met an aftermarket aluminum case or battery cover that didn't severely alter the signal including WiFi. They look nice but not worth me losing LTE or battery life over

Anyone know if there's a carrying case similar to the snap in case (like for the original Droid & X) that will accommodate an extended battery? I've hunted VZW's site & e-bay but haven't found any except the pouch style.

Which battery are you using? I am using the Verizon Extended Battery and I bought this case (P/N VZW6300HOC) Won't let me post links yet. I used tin snips to cut out around the extended cover.
It's a Verizon extended battery, I got it & the back with my inc when they sent it as a replacement for my P. O. S. Devour.

Yeah they did the same for me. This is the best option I have seen so far.

I am using the 2150 battery and I just cut out the back of a rubber case. Works great and looks good.
I just looked at mine & its the 2150, I noticed another thread about modding a case to fit over the extended back & am going to try that. If it don't work I'm out, what, $20? It's worth a shot, I post pics if I can get the X style clip & case nodded to fit.

Not sure if its the same size but Sedio makes an extended case for the 3500mah. They don't sell it without the battery on their site, but if you email them asking about it they will offer the back piece standalone
The 3500 is thicker. Even if it fits, you're gaining the extra thickness of the 3500 case so you may as well get the 3500 battery, too.

Are you talking about the actual back cover to the battery, or an actual protective case that fits "over" the back cover?
Just went into my local Best Buy today. What did they just in..........Seidio Innocase II! $25. And to make life even better......1750mah battery! $40. The packaging says Platinum products something, but when you look on the bottom it says Seidio.
Getting the case was a no brainer. I had their cheap Rocketfish hard case and it's falling apart after a month and a half. The battery I'm still unsure about since some people say it makes a huge difference, some say it is no improvement. But thats for another thread
Hey, Is it possible to buy colored battery covers for the Nexus S?
A red one will look gooood on the back of my black phone
Thanks
I was looking for one a while ago, but I couldn't find one that had a NFC on it. The Near Field Communicator is attached to the back cover, so you will lose that functionality if you don't get a cover that has a NFC on it.

I honestly don't care about the NFC and I don't think I'll ever use it..
Can you tell me what exactly you searched to find it or if you know someone that sells it?
I wants non glossy black
Hate gloss just a fingerprint magnet and gets all sweaty in hand
I'm surprised no alternative covers
I've looked before bit no luck
Got a thin case but still would like cover
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
I think the Chinese have been reluctant to make too many due to the loss of NFC if you use a cheap door.
I would buy some spray paint designed for plastic (they sell it at auto part shops. I'd buy the primer too) and sand the cover door and apply a bunch of real thin coats of paint, sanding with real fine sandpaper between each coat, until it was as smooth as I wanted. You could buy flat paint or whatever so it wasn't as glossy too. Though fingerprints wouldn't be as noticeable on a lighter color or one not quite so reflective as black.
Just get one of those Gelaskins or Bodyguardz Carbon Fiber skins <- I just got this and it looks and feels awesome.
is there any Battery cover _without_ NFC?
I haven't seen any for sale aside from the standard black or white ones.
Spray paint and clear coat the stock one.
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
the standard ones are fine for me, but i want one (or in this case two) without NFC because the radio signal is very poor on the Nexus S. But when you remove the back battery door it has one of the best signals i've ever seen on an smartphone

sure iv'e tested it with NFC off, not big difference to NFC on. Its because the NFC antenna in the Cover is very Big and shields the other frequencys to good.
I'm still searching for an Bat. cover without NFC. Any links or recommendations?
Look it up on eBay! Its your best friend

i tried but i only find them with NFC or the price is so high that it isn't interesting any more
I bought 2 of these from this seller. They arrived quickly and do not contain NFC. I bought them to coat in plastidip (works well in 1-2 coats, 3 destroys it) - source (my six tries).

ORIGINAL NEW Back Battery Door Cover for Samsung Nexus S i9023 W/TRACKING
Seller: zenkili1005
This is not an advertisement, I am simply answering a request with a supplier that is reasonably priced and I have done business with in the last 3 weeks. I have no affiliation with said supplier and no form of referral.
I just recently received my extended battery with a cover but I was wondering if anyone know of a company that can provide me with or design the cover that came with this bigger battery to look exactly like the original battery cover? I don't mind the bulking ness but I just want the at&t logo along with aluminum band over the two cameras.

Hi, thanks for the info. A little more detail regarding the Mugen extended battery for the T-Mobile Galaxy Note. 1.Is the NFC antennae in the door? (and working?) 2.Does the door fit securely? 3.Mugen only offers battery door in black color--Our Tmbo phones are navy blue, does the door match?
Thanks in advance, appreciate you taking the time!

Re color, I haven't carefully looked at the battery cases in the light to see a difference but it looks like it matches the T-Note to me. For me the only part of the note that 'has' color is the battery cover so by replacing it entirely with the Mugen battery cover I don't notice a mismatch. Also cannot see a difference between the bezel color and the mugen case cover (except for gloss).
Re nfc the antennas are there. I haven't tested it yet.
Re fit, one of the clips on my back cover is broken, so mine does not fit perfectly there (upper right corner over volume rocker when looking at the back of the phone). All other clips snap into place perfectly so I think a new/unbroken cover would work perectly.

I bought that same case on Amazon. It works on the extended battery I have, although my battery back is different than the Mugen (forgive me I don't know how to post a link but here is the info if anyone wants to search on Amazon):
Brand New 5200mAh Extended Battery+Dark Blue NFC Back Cover Door For att Samsung i717 Galaxy Note LTE by BestMatchSold by RKWireless and Fulfilled by Amazon.
I like the case you inquired about however the power button is very difficult to press. That's my only complaint, however I have not found any other case options for Notes w/ extended batteries!
FYI for anyone interested, I am pleased with my off brand battery. I originally wanted the Mugen because of their reputation and the flat back w/stand however Mugen could not tell me if the NFC on their door worked w my Tmobile Note. I didn't want to risk it for almost $100. The off brand battery was $20bucks (even cheaper now) and so far is great. Gives me twice the usage. Beware though as the NFC on my phone doesn't work though and am now waiting for a replcmt door from Rkwireless.

nfc works on my mugen 5400mah extended battery. I love this battery! I went camping this weeknd. Watched a full movie with full brightness, took over 50 pictures, used to it text, call, check email, check facebook and used it as a flashlight at night. I unplugged it at 4pm friday and only needed to plug it back in at 930am sunday (today). It was down to 9% at that point. thats 41.5hrs on a single charge. thank you mugen!
*mine came with a mugen pouch too. did anyone else get that? I hadn't heard of anyone else getting a pouch/case with the battery until i got mine. I ordered the hyperion case but they sent me the wrong one, but the pouch works until amazon can send me the right case.
thanks for the info that the NFC works on the Mugen, good to know! Update: I received the newbattery back from RKwireless for my off brand extended battery but the NFC still doesn't work with that one either.
Almost 11 hrs screen time with screen on FULL BRIGHTNESS.love the mugen battery

How are the mugen extended batteries doing? Any other good options? I would like to use one for when I go out of town for business. I typically have to leave early in the morning and then return home later in the evening. I have trouble staying in one place long enough to charge my phone, and I keep forgetting the second battery I bought. It would be nice to snap the extended battery on the night before, charge it, and then not worry if I have enough juice to get back home without carrying extra wires, batteries etc. I could get an external 10,000mah battery, but trying to travel light. I already left behind a charger in the TSA security area. When I realized it and returned it was gone (of course).
I ended up just buying an Anker Astro e3 with 10,000mah of power for when I need to bring it. It's working great so far. Nice to know I can fully charge my phone four times with it if I'm on the standard battery.
Thinking about buying one of these. I like blue a lot. Blue blue! Was curious about fit? Anyone have one? Thoughts?
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
These are awesome. Buy it. That blue is gorgeous. I got the original titanium one. Lucky you found a us seller. These back covers will also be compatible with most if not all cases you already have since it is a teeny bit thicker than stock. Also you'll love the feel of it!
Right now eBay has many us sellers for these.

For me its basically the same. Amazing
I notice where I usually have 1 bar hspa that with the aluminum back it's 2-3 bars of Edge.. Mine came with the NFC but it doesn't work any way I try.
If you have plenty of service all the time, then I highly recommend it. I currently use a carbon fiber black leather door.
Just ordered. Waiting to get it mid week. Will report back with my finding. I have a galaxy note 2 on vzw.

Bought both aluminum back and spare nfc chip
thought i chime in because i have a red aluminum back - it wouldn't work with the spare nfc chip i bought from ebay at all - at first i thought it was the chip but carefully place the chip on the phone without the back cover and using a piece of tape to test without the cover proved otherwise
so i then knew it was the alumnium backing - but idk about you guys i barely use the nfc feature
I just ordered this one a carbon fiber one from eBay and the seller says the NFC chip will work fine. I'll post once I receive and test it.

I have the black version and my NFC works like a charm..
I had a jean on with metal parts above the pockets, when i have received that cover. I installed it and the back got full of scratches in a few hours. The aluminum cover is so soft and ductile, that it wont stand a chance against the metal zips of your clothes. Also the signal gets reduced. Wifi signal changes about 20% and if the gsm signal is lost on a boat tour you can get two bars of signal if you remove the cover.
