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.

Haha, Now I know the limit. I bent mine a good 35-40 degrees without it breaking.. I won't be testing that limit anymore.

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

I'm just curious whether we can expect a defender series for our device or the international version. The Skyrocket has been on the market less than both devices and already has 3 series of cases in multiple colors. Sort of clear who gets all the accessory love at this point.

I think someone on here asked Otterbox (use search) and they "do not have current plans" to make a Defender for the SII or something like that.
I bought a Seidio Active with holster. Seidio basically said the same thing and do not have any plans on making a Convert for the SII.
Sounds like the Ballistic case is your best bet (see below). I like the way the Otterboxes look though but only the Defender comes with a holster.

Yeah i think i saw the thread you are referring to but the guy only really commented on the belt holster and screen protector both of which i had no interest in. I was thinking about giving one a shot but im definitely going to see if i can get more info/opinions on it. If i get one ill throw up a review with pics.

I would too. I personally don't mind the extra size at all. My Inspire 4G survived a motorcycle crash thanks to a defender case with no damage to the phone and just some scuffs to the silicon on the case. Took a spill between 30-40 with the phone in my pocket.

Somehow I doubt those are real. It doesn't have the trademark "Samsung" written on it. Not to mention, the label looks dubious.

as mentioned most likely they are not
the one i ordered didnt say samsung or OEM,but its indeed the same one that did
but for 8 bucks, very low risk
received this case today, i must say its great!!!
I got chrome/burgundy, i love it!!
doesnt add much bulk at all, perfect fit, can access styles,earpiece and all fine
The box has Samsung written all over it but im 95% sure its a fake. But for 8 bucks, you simply CANT beat this
going to see if this will work with a seidio holster
will post pick when i get back home and cam find my camera
Where are the pictures??

You could always just buy an official SAMSUNG folio case and cut off the leather flap. The replacement backs that come on these are thicker and stronger anyways.... Just a thought.

There are a few problems with that.
1) international note tabs are larger and therefore will require modification to work
2) no NFC. Sure, it's disabled now, but soon it will be available for use.
3) Does not look the same. It says Samsung, not Galaxy Note. That's more personal preference.
