I was just wondering if the back cover for the international GS2 will fit the AT&T GS2? I was considering getting a metal back plate, but was not sure if it would fit or not.
it will not. I believe some of the tabs on the back are different.
Nope it will not, already been discussed in the accessories section.

Would you kindly post post a link to where you bought your extended battery? I would be very interested in one with a properly fitted back plate.

I snapped my battery door in half and I've been searching high and low for an OEM replacement with no luck. The only place I've been able to find one is on eBay. The only problem with that is I don't have an eBay account and I definitely don't want to open a paypal account just to buy a battery door. If anybody knows where I can get obe, I would greatly appreciate it. At the moment, I'm usong an aftermarket door I purchased from Amazon. The problem with that, is it adds a slight amount of thickness to the phone, and most cases won't fit properly bwcause of this.

Thanks for the post, but as I explained in the OP I already have an aftermarket aluminum door. I'm looking for an OEM door but don't have an eBay account or Paypal and not looking to create these accounts just to buy a battery door.

Unfortunately, that's probably what you'll have to do. It's not that hard, and doesn't hurt to have one. I rarely use mine, but it's nice to have when I find something that I want that is only on eBay.

Just ask your local authorized reseller for the one of a dummy phone, a corp store will definitely say no. I have an OEM backup and a metal one coming USPS. If you don't acquire one in a few days, I'll have one for you.

I've called every AT&T store wothin 30 miles, called AT&T warranty replacement, and even Samsung, and nobody has one. I can't believe its this difficult to find a battery door for the most popular phone on the market. I appreciate the offer man. I will let you know in a few days.

Thank you, this helps i was planning to get the Korean 2000mAh battery and mod a cover similar to yours by cutting out the plastic underneath the metal to make it fit, but after your images it looks like the cover might not suffice, still too small

What about screen protectors? The ones I got don't really stick around the edges because it kind of curves.

Dry/static cling protectors don't work on the curve, only wet application protectors can follow the curve, and therefore cover the whole screen.

I read on here that you need to slightly modify the little tabs that snap into the phone to get I9100 back covers to fit. Cool idea though.

Thats a nice case! hopefully some one can confirm that it does so I can buy one.
I might just buy it to see. I know att version is slightly wider then sprint version
Sent from my LG-E970 using Tapatalk 2
Generally any case made for Sprint won't fit AT&T's unless it's silicon/jelly.
We're wider and shorter and square, so it makes for a really awkward fit.
Nice find. I'd definitely be interested in an E970 variant if they make one. I especially like how the notification light is unobstructed (I'm holding onto hope that newer ROMs will actually make that light usable).
That this is nice. Sprint gets the best cases. Why did ATT have to mess with the phone's dimensions?

how in any way could you infer that they were pushing the sale of the item, they quoted that the case sales page said it was for sprint variant and that they contacted the seller, and to my understanding, the seller dosnt really know what the hell is going on because he said that it was for the at&t version. so not only are they getting misinformation from multiple sources, they are willing to spend their money on a product that most likely wont fit on the device for our benefit, especially since flip cases are pretty awesome. so show some respect for someone willing to take the fall when you wont.
