Just giving a heads up in case anybody has seen these and thought about buying one.
HTCPedia.com is selling an "Extended Battery Fit Hard Rubber Case for HTC Droid Incredible." I'm new, so I can't post the link.
I purchased one of these since I currently have one of the extended batteries in my Dinc and haven't seen another case that works with it. I received it on Friday and was a little shocked. This is NOT a case designed to fit the Incredible with an Extended battery. It is a standard case manually cut to open the back up so the extended battery can fit through it. As if that wasn't bad enough, not only did it not fit...but the cut job was really crappy. Squared off corners instead of rounded, double cuts in some places that left slivers of the material sticking out, etc. If you are planning on getting one of these you are better off just buying the standard case and cutting it yourself. You'll save money and likely do a better job.
HTCPedia has not responded back to my emails yet either as to if this was a mistake or honestly what they are trying to sell. I'll let you know if they respond with anything.
Here's the link for the case.
The quality in the pictures looks pretty bad to me, would have been a pretty good indication of the quality you'd receive. It's also only made for the 2150 extended battery/back.
That case is the one verizon sells look at the red one it has the same design inside as the one from verizon!!!! Haha so they just cut out the back piece!!!

Yup, just cut it out. I did get a call back from HTCPedia just a few minutes ago and they are giving me a full refund. So that at least makes me feel a little better about the whole deal.
I know this belongs in accessories but I believe the more people will see it here.
Click here if you want to buy a battery door.
The point of forum separation is to keep things organized. It doesn't matter if more people will see it here, it's the wrong section.
Thanks, that could be a very useful site!
Lol "OEM"
Moved to accessories.
darn they're out of stock. Was thinking of picking up 1 for myself since I scratched mine.
I can't wait for them to come back in stock. Great find.
You sir are the man.
That **** scratches so easily.
thank you for that! now i can save on the back case and just buy a new cover
maybe one of the only pros for Samsung making such a cheap door. :\
I actually got three before they were out of stock an sold two an kept one. These things scratch so dam easy its almost not even worth gettin a replacement cover cause itll be scratched as well in no time. I even put a zagg on the back as soon as i got it an when i took it off to put a bestskinsever on it still had some fine scratches on it an i baby the **** out of this phone, so the only reason i can see spendin more money on a replacement is if i cracked the cover or something
I will buy some once they are in stock.
I will be ordering too once it's back in stock. Already have 2 fine scratches on the back after keeping the "stock" clear plastic cover packaging thingy for over 3 weeks. The scratches came from me wiping the back from the oil in my skin with a lens cleaner. UGH.
But curious, the battery cover has that antenna. I wonder if this OEM cover will have it, my guess it won't. And if it doesn't, I suppose we have to remove the antenna from the old cover?
They have they antenna in them

Yeah, seriously why would these not have them. They're OEM.
I want one. Since people have 3... Be sure to list an extra on ebay for those of us that can't get the stock I'd also like a new bezel... Lol. It has some slight imperfection 'mini' chips but I guess I could try sanding it? Lol

I would assume so as well. But I have bought OEM parts (for the G1) and when they specify back case, it's just the back case. No cushioning foam or whatever that was attached to the one that came with my phone.
But I just checked the additional pictures and it does show the NFC antenna. Good thing. Just hope they actually ship as that.

Anderdroid, I believe the thread is for the back (battery) cover and not the fascia (bezel). I checked the site and there is no listing for what you're looking for.

Oh yeah I know it's about the battery cover. I need one of those too.
I thought Samsung would have done something similar like they did with the Galaxy S give a spare one with maybe a different colour, or just a spare, I honestly don't know where you could buy these from Google themselves, because this is very much vital to the NFC feature to work, if you break it then you NEED a new one, and one from China might not work the same. These might be OEMs, but it's better than nothing.
Good News : Nexus S OEM Back Battery Cover
Hello folks,
I know we have all been wanting to protect our Nexus S, especially the back battery cover.
I have been searching...and finally found this one site that was selling, but they were out of stock for some time. Recently they changed the status to be available sooner or later than Feb 14th 2011.
This is great news, and thought i will share it with you guyz.

I just ordered this case, so I cannot give any feedback yet however I do have a coupon code to get $30.00 off.
The case ended up being ~$25.00 shipped.
The coupon code is REDDIT30

Ordered! Thanks!
Thanks for posting this up, I just bit as well and picked one up. I hope its as good as it looks. I'll post up some feedback once I have it in hand.
On a side note you might want to make sure that you're using a unique password with their site as my email address and password where sent to me after creating a account suggesting that both are stored in plain text inside of their database.
Now you've done my head in (In a good way)
Was just about to take the plunge on a Portenzo, BUT NOW IVE SEEN THIS !
Don't know which one to get, only problem with this one is its plain, and the stand doesn't look very sturdy, and if its anything like the one I have now itll fall over with the slightest touch !
Wow, this looks really good AND THEY SHIP TO NEW ZEALAND!!
Now i have to decide between this and the Nillkin Smart Cover.
Cheers for the heads up!
I received the case yesterday and I'll say, for $25 bucks delivered, its an awesome case.
My only complaint is the way the cover flap snaps on. Its got two hooks on the outside that snap down over the back side cover. I'm trying to think of a way to engineer a better solution for closing the case. I think I'll remove the two hooks and make a latch in the center that holds it down. I'll post pics of the creation when I figure out the logistics and get it done.

Thanks for sharing this.
Whats wrong with the hooks? Does it not shut tightly? Also, will the case fold back flat onto itself for holding the tablet in portrait mode?

The hook are a little clunky because you have to pause for a moment after closing the case flap to make sure they both went on. I like it though; it keeps the flap closed but it doesn't really get in the way. I'm a little worried about the magnets though, as I've heard they can cause problems with the N7. Has anyone had any issues with them?
EDIT: Forgot to answer your other question. Yes, the flap will fold flat onto the back of the device.
bad case
Had the case only 2 weeks and the plastic clips that hold it closed broke. Contacted Devicewear and all they are doing is giving me the run around
O we have sent you emails but you have not responded. Funny i got that one though. when i responded back they just ignore you. This case is crap and the company has lost any future bis with me.
I dropped my red turbo a while back and put a decent scuff on the upper right corner. I have been thinking about swapping out the back plate for a while. I think I am going to go with the ballistic nylon this time around. They aren't too expensive so I can always get a red and switch back if I want to. My question is, does anyone know of any US based sellers that have them? eBay is the only place I have found them and I hate to have to wait forever for it to come from China. If anyone knows where to get them or has one they dont need anymore, let me know.

None of the replacement back plates for the droid turbo are listed as US stock. Only the digitizer assemblies. If you're going to get a back plate from this site, it will be shipping from China.
I wouldn't be too afraid of ordering from China though. I ordered a replacement back plate from AliExpress. It took 3 weeks to get here, but it was in perfect condition.
So like title said, post links / names of cases you can find online, for now there is only two options avaiable:
https://www.verizonwireless.com/accessories/verizon-two-tone-bumper-case-for-moto-z-play-droid/
https://www.incipio.com/cases/smart...cases/moto-z-play-droid-co-molded-bumper.html
The second one is not mod friendly. I've it and it doesn't​ fit car dock or back style mods.

I'll vouch for the Verizon bumper case. So far all the mods I have fit with this on. I know its not a full case, but it protects the siding and gives you the ability to hot swap mods all day
I have the famous YouTube review video showing how terrible the Incipio bumper is. It doesn't even work with their own battery pack. Just poor engineering and design.
Is there any more options beside this two? Because verizon is not available to Europe?
found this one, but seems ... meh..
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bumper-Hull...hash=item2cb1bc7c5d:m:mfyawQRORjPhUzy0W1tvT1w
I backed the Edge Shield Bumper, at Indiegogo. But it will take some more time to deliver because Lenovo/Motorola asked for a legal agreement, this month. So I have to wait to see it's quality.
i am aware of edge bumper but its not available...
just an update, found this as well, will order it and test it out
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Luxury-Alum...hash=item46617fd53b:m:mgaxLvfprj1bg9tMQdetkKw
NOTE: did not order because seller said it does not work with mods
Definitely want to know if it's mod friendly
Verizon one just broke on me. Lasted about 5 months. I want another one because it is the only one that works. Any idea where I can buy? I would love the edge shield when it comes.
Just received a Sparin TPU case for the MZP from Amazon today. The best part is that it fits OVER the style shell and all. Yeah, it's a tight squeeze and the top mic hole is a little bit off and it is a bit of a pain to remove, but it works. Don't know how long his case will hold up without cracking or yellowing, but so far I'm impressed. Buttons are able to be clicked and power cord inserted. Got a 2 pack for less than $10 shipped.
Oh, and no hole for the pins either.

Question for owner(s) how does it fit without style shell?
One more question, any chance to fit style shell with wireless charging?
I bought this case
It works perfectly with mods. )
