Battery cover - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5

So, I got a white s5 from my T-Mobile store. It has the hard perforated battery cover. However, a few days after I was in a radioshack looking around and I saw grey s5 (I think Sprint) and the battery cover was the soft "leathery" perforated back. So, I immediately assumed that it was only the grey s5's that had the soft back.
But I called the local T-Mobile store and they told me that all T-Mobile s5's have the hard battery cover. Every review I read they mention the soft faux leather that these phones have (just like the note 3).
Bottom line is,I used to have the note 3 and I really like the soft leathery feel because it seems grippier to me. I feel like this hard back will slip out of my hands. Now before everyone tells me to go get a cover, I don't like covers. I like the feel of a plain phone.
My question is, is this true that T-Mobile is the only one with the hard back? I've looked and it seems like I could buy a replacement back, but do all of the carriers battery covers fit? Are they all the same size and dimension?
Thanks.

I have the grey S5 from TMo and it has the soft "leathery" backing. I can't say that I have seen an S5 without the soft back, but I also never have paid much attention to the white ones when looking at them in person. Do you have a picture of your phone backing?

Well now I feel ripped off. I'll add a picture, but I'm not sure you can tell from the picture how it feels.

The white one feels different than all the rest. Doesn't matter the carrier

I appreciate the input. I'm just mad at the salesperson I spoke to on the phone that said they are all the same. I'm now over my 14 day exchange limit. I would have paid the $50 fee to exchange if I would've known earlier. Oh well

But hey, since the color seems to be the determining factor in the battery cover material, maybe you could just buy a replacement battery cover of a different color? It might look a little funny though.

Ditto this. As I remember, they sold all kinds for the S4. It should be easy enough to find a suitable replacement. Myself, I had to put a case on it to give it some bulk and grip.

So you would have paid $50 to switch phones for the battery cover? For that money you can buy whatever cover you want online.
Sent from my SM-G900T using XDA Free mobile app

Yeah,I probably would. I like the leathery feel (despite some people). I haven't seen many cases like it. I'm sure there are some like it, but at least I know what I'm getting into rather than spotting one online and not knowing what it's like until I get it.
Thanks for everyone's help.

Protective skin for Htc hero

My brown back cover is suffering from 1 or 2 scratches in 2 months of usage. I normally see Iphone users have hard plastic/silicon/decent looking cases to protect their device. HD2 also has a dedicated one.
Does Hero have something stock from HTC to protect it's covers?
What do you use for decent looking protective covers for the Hero? Pics may help greatly!

Silicone case all the way baby.
Cheap as chips and doesn't look cheap like the floppy old rubber cases we used to use.
I think mine was about £2, £2.50 max (good old ebay). Also came with a free screen protector.
Well worth it.

Same one here, 5$ including shipping - on eBay. Works great, using it 4 months (I think) and there are no signs of material going yellow, or chipping and cracking. Protects very good and isn't bulky!
Also, I see you have Eclair. There is green tint on camera

Ooops,.... Got it wrong,... Not SILICONE, they are the soft floppy ones aren't they,....
I meant GEL case,... Like the photos people have posted.
Mine also covers the volume - I do have 6 though so I can mess around with if I prefer it with or without! (All for £5 inc P+P - Bargain!).
Sorry about the poor quality of the pic - my elf’s camera is not so good!
I like that it provides a bit of a ridge around the screen - My daughter has a tendency to play with my phone and ends up throwing/dropping it on the floor, this helps avoid scratching (I also have a screen protector) It also doesn't add too much width around it, provides better grip, and doesn't muffle sound when on the phone.
Much better than the floppy silicon ones - they are useless, gel all the way!
You let your daughter play with your phone,.... I don't even let the missus touch mine!
if she breaks it, i'll get a new one on insurance - but I turst her, although she isn't even 18months! She does like to phone people on it, that is the only downside to these cases, they don't stop that (I should set a lock pattern...)

She phones my fianceé's phone, which is usuall sat underneath. (sorry for going off topic)
I would prefer her not to have my phone, but thats what makes the case a necessity of the case, she can get anywhere I leave it, this way, I don't get it broken, and she brings me it if someone phones me
Yup, I have white, blue, red, pink, purple and black. If i were a girl, I could accessorise to what I was wearing!

Platinum's Pseudo Active Case

Good stuff. Made by Seidio, but just branded Platinum. They had a name for it... Like a series. Instead of Active, it had it's own name, but I forgot it...

Oooohhh, do like. So far this is the only Evo 3D case I actually like. I'll look it up. I'll probably buy one next time I get paid.
EDIT: Found it here on Best Buy, but it's sold out & backordered for 1-2 weeks. Linky
If anyone else can find it somewhere that it isn't sold out, that'd be great!

Lucky. Wish I didn't live an hour away from the nearest Best Buy lol
Mine has blue surface cases $29.99 and black surface cases with holster $34.99...
The Cruiser was black only, no holster $34.99...
The Heavy Duty one was black with holster. $49.99
I can't quite tell from the photos. Are the buttons covered completely? They have them in stock at both BBY's near me, and I might pick one up. Thanks
The only openings on the case are the screen/face, 2D/3D toggle switch, earphone jack and little mic opening.
Thanks Chris
i got the "rugged" version of this at best buy but returned it.. the fabric on the holster was messed up..
also, the case felt cheap.. i had the same case i got from them for the Evo and that one was good, loved it...
i have been a sedio fan for a while.. easy case to take off and put on.. i like to have the phone naked when i am phone. the otter box defender i got now sucks to take off!!! like the case but its a pain to take off.. not to mention the holster does fit the belt i use since its a wide riggers belt.
but i will be getting the sedio once its out and hope casualty is better than the best buy version.
Nice case but.....
I think these are nice cases, i even had one one my old evo but, if you drop it and it lands on the corner, those little claws will break. Unless they changed the plastic its made out of, that is the weak point of the case. I ended up with a ballistic on my last evo and that thing is a tank. I have the otterbox defender on my phone now. I always pic the most rugged case becase it keeps my phone in pristine condition which allows me to sell it and upgrade to the next phone for free.
yup , just as ugly (and probably as fragile) as the ones on the original evo....

Maybe some people can't handle the case. Contact Seidio, they are pretty good about it.
Maybe they don't create a quality product.
I've had a Surface and a couple Actives on my Evo. Had a Active on my Epic and never had a single issue. Maybe I baby my phones. I dunno. They've been more than great for me.

When did you buy your first active limited? How long did you use it? Maybe they fixed their quality issues...?
I know it wasn't only me having issues with the tabs - at the time I got on XDA/Amazon and everybody seemed to be experiencing the same thing. I started the return process and let them know that the tabs were an issue and I am sure others did as well.
I really hope they did fix this problem, because I loved the case other than that or I would have never bought a second one (I was hoping it was a fluke)
In the end I just went back to my official HTC case. I didn't like it near as much but I never had issues with it either.
Later,
Matt

I ask this all the time, but not for what you are asking for I think. I hate very thin phones. I put a case on it just to beef it up. I like the feel of a nice meaty phone in my hand. I just ordered my N3, and I need a case as soon as I unbox it. Like now I have an SII, and need a Case-Mate Tough Case on it to get the right thickness. The N3 is even thinner, so I'm looking forward to some nice thick cases.

Because Samsung wants these phones to actually fit in your pockets? If you want to turn your Note 3 into a Nintendo 3DS XL in size that's your choice but it's not a popular one.

That's what he meant mate. He was inferring that there's a reason why Samsung produce phones which are thin enough to be easily portable.
Looks okay but a better protection for the note 3 would be better .

I am the exact opposite... never use a case bc it bulks phones up too much... with my old GS2 never once had a case on it... Note 2...never put a case on it... tried to carry my GFs Note 2 around with a case just to see... and after 15 minutes I was like WTF...too much added weight and bulk... esp for pants pockets... now for girls its prob less of a big deal since they will put theirs in bags/purses all the time.. but for me as a guy I prefer as thin as possible so its light and fits easily in the pocket with the least amount of bulk... I do wish the galaxy line added a thin kickstand that popped out and didnt affect overall design and thickness...but you cant have it all I guess...
to each their own I guess...
I just saw this, and my thoughts.....
I can go all day and then some, never worrying about charging, Full display, data if needed, and snapping pics. My battery, if i milk it (low screen brightness, but 5 hours of wifi etc, still last 16 hours. Screen brightness and data is what eats my battery. Was playing today with complete disregard for battery, and took out a 1/3 battery in matter of 3 hours today.
And my S pen, would be nice and secured underneath the case. Hmmm, sounds perfect for traveling! especially when in another country where charging, electrical plugs etc can be an issue. Sure won't be a dumb arse, and lose my S Pen say on a subway train or it fall out. If i use the pen, i will have to be thinking about it, then secure it away. Maybe i won't order a second replacement S Pen with that case.
The video makes it look like a snap to open the case, and it is more form fitting and sleeker than a huge bulge on the back. Might fit flatter in pocket, or back pack being more slab like.
Like i am gonna be looking for a USB 3 port while on a boat, or tour bus, or something like that.
Looking decent after i think about it....
I have one for my htc one , the mah is half what was stated if that , very lil protection almost flush with the front of the phone and runs extreme hot

I need your opinion with different carrying solutions. Hows the china stuff on eBay?

I need to find a way to carry my phone around, especially at work. I work in a bus garage, my work is manual so I don't want the phone to be in any pocket as moving around can get annoying and I might hit my leg somewhere and damage the phone. But also in regular clothes, sometimes this phone is just to much for my jeans.
For me, finding the perfect way to carry this huge phone is the most challenging thing with it, but the size of this phone is my only negative point so I'll find a way around that.
From eBay:
1. Case cover with Holster with belt clip and kickstand:http://www.ebay.com/itm/SAMSUNG-GALAXY-NOTE-3-Case-Cover-Protector-Rigid-Slim-Holster-Kick-Stand-/171138781224?pt=US_Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&hash=item27d8aa9028
2. Heavy Duty vertical belt clip pouch : http://www.ebay.com/itm/HEAVY-DUTY-VERTICAL-BELT-CLIP-POUCH-HOLSTER-CASE-FOR-SAMSUNG-GALAXY-NOTE-2-N7100-/360649119899
3. Another Holster Belt clip : http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Galaxy-Note-3-Rugged-Hybrid-case-cover-with-Belt-Clip-Holster-Bundle-/181230218883?pt=US_Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&var=&hash=item2a3229ae83
So what are your opinons on these 3? Hows the china stuff with your experience? Should I be worried the belt clip break in half after 2days?
I've tried about 4 different china cases over the years....and 3/4 were garbage...the only decent one I had on my G2. The fit is usually too small/incorrect and i've cosmetically damaged phones in the past using them. Like the old saying goes "Ya get what you pay for." I'm by no means rich and like to save a buck when I can, but do you want to put your $600 baby in a $5-10 carriage?
1st one: I don't like that I don't see and rubber material in the case for shock absorption, just that little fuzzy "velvet" stuff. Bet it will scuff sides of phone too, had one similar before.... PASS
2nd one looks like the case for my leatherman. PASS
3rd one looks like a trident knockoff, but has the rubber/hard plastic combo that seems to work best. One thing I can't see is how big of a "lip' sticks out above screen. This is important for face-down falls. Without a good rubber lip like the Trident/otterbox cases, you WILL have damage.
Good luck and let us know how it turns out....
I've had mixed results with China cases over the years. I was suprised by the one I got for my Note 2. It was cheap, durable, and did exactly what I wanted. With my original Note I went through 2 or 3 cases before I got a good one.

The majority of cases probably originate in China. I ordered #3 from your list and it should be here soon, so I can take pictures and let you know about the quality. From another auction, it shows that the lip that surrounds the screen is rather large, almost as much as an Otterbox Defender. I saw the same case on Amazon for $20, and there are a few sellers that have them less than $10 on eBay. I've also ordered a Spigen NeoHybrid because it offers the protection I need, but hopefully the corners won't pop off and crack the case near the charging port like my S4 case did.

Official Samsung S-View Case not working for me :(

On a whim I walked into a T-Mobile store while driving to Orlando when we stopped for Starbucks just to see if they had any cases and there was the elusive S-View in black and white. I signed into Foursquare for 30% discount plus did the buy 2 get one free and in essence got the case and screen protectors for my N3 and my daughter's iPhone 5, the guy put them on for us all for 60 dollars total.
I love the case but I can't get it to do anything except wake up and shut down the screen when opening and closing, no S-View windows, clocks etc. I went into settings where there's a couple of options under accessories and nothing. I thought it might be the rom so I flashed stock, Darthstalker and Myrom to no avail. Any idea how I get it to work or maybe just a bad chip in my case? Fyi I mentioned how hard it is to get these cases and the manager told me they are a Galaxy Headquarters store , they had a special Galaxy counter and display as well.
I have to drive back to Orlando Sunday so if its not working still I will stop in and try another case and hopefully that will work unless there is something simple I'm missing, he put the case on for me and I should have tested out the functions there but we were already 30 minutes behind schedule, I got the white case for my white N3. For anyone in the South Florida area its the store in Port St. Lucie just off 95.
I can only guess that the 3 roms from development took out the S-View apk if there is one or I have a defective case.
Check the case. I just came from the store and they had 3 bad cases. On the right hand side there is supposed to be 2 metal pins. We checked out 8 cases and 3 were missing the pins or weren't glued down.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Yeah check if it has the metal pins on the back. I bought one from AT&T that didn't have the pins glued down and I had to return it
Maybe this is why Samsung issued a recall for some of the cases.
Someone mentioned it on this board a couple of days ago.
Samsung QC is getting pretty terrible..
Samsung releasing the Note 3 without OEM accessories is pretty bad imho. Finding a case in London and Manchester including the Samsung Experience store at Stratford is next to impossible.

There are none to be got in Ireland either
Sent from my SM-N9005 using xda app-developers app
The pins look fine, after using it for two days even if it had worked I'm going to get my 60 dollars back, guess I'm just not liking the functionality of having to use two hands with this type of case. Also the flap tends to stay ajar quite a bit, I'm just going to stick with the Caseology case that was waiting in the mail when I got home tonight, cost a few dollars and it looks and feels perfect to me.
Thanks for the responses guys.

Well I ended up exchanging it and this one worked immediately. I was all set to just get my money back but it's just too cool, switched to a black case just because it won't show dirt.

i had one and they are ****. sorry to be frank, but honestly, for 65 bucks, that stupid thing should have a magnet to stay closed. my brand new phone would be going on and off all day long because the flap would open and close. as soon as i'd use the phone it would stay open, or bounce a bit... whenever i moved it, sure enough, the screen turns on because it opens and closes again
totaly crap samsung... if you aren't going to have a magnet, then at LEAST make it out of something that won't try to hold the damn thing open
i give this thing 1 star, and the only reason it gets that is the idea itself is pretty cool... too bad the implementation felates a horse
