Hello,
I'm sure this question has been asked a lot, but only for wood/metal/leather.
I want a back cover that makes the phone less slippery, something like OnePlus' "Sandstone black".
No cases, and no skins (unless they are grippy enough). Maybe it's possible to 3D-print a cover?
I hope someone can find something. :fingers-crossed:

Are you wanting the battery cover itself replaced? I've searched ebay and have only come up with battery covers/backs that simply look like the stock cover.
The only thing I could think of is something like Plastidip spray. You can get it in different colors/textures I believe. Here's an old video of a guy who did it

And this video after it, a guy did an iPad in two colors and a final coat to simulate carbon fiber. Turned out pretty good.

I was searching around and could not find a gel/TPU type clear case for the G1...for those of you who do not know...here is one example of a Nexus One case like what I would want:
http://cgi.ebay.com/2-Soft-Case-TPU...t=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item746a91e417
I know they do not show a completely clear one, but that is the material/type of case I would like. It is not like a typical silicone case -it is slightly like a hard case being that it does not bend as easily and it is not floppy at all.
Any ideas?
Heres the problem that I see...
How would you open the keyboard with that cover overlapping the front of the phone? That would probably be the reason those style covers don't exist for the G1.
As my fellow Oregonian said.. Soft cases and a slide keyboard won't really work.. If you look at the hard shells you'll see how the screen has it's own little part that clips on.. soft shells wrap instead of clip on...
I fail to see why they could not have a separate piece to put on the screen...?
If there is no such case... then could someone recommend a thin, yet tough, hard case? (preferably clear)
soft cases can't clip onto the screen part that has to slide up...
but here's something i found with decent reviews for the other colors.. clear hasn't been rated yet

Yeah I understand what you mean and thanks for that info...but - I was thinking not of a soft case 'clipping' onto the screen but you could slip a cover over it or around it -I am SURE there is some way to do it....
I think this is what you are looking for:

LOL WOW THANK YOU!!!! How did you find that ? it should not be labeled as silicone (I think)..... wow that is exactly what I am looking for! I knew it was possible.... any way - I wish it didnt cost so much, the others I see like it(on other phones) is significantly cheaper (like under $5.00 with shipping included).... If I cannot find any cheaper ones I will order that one...
Thanks again, I cant believe you found just what I was looking for...

yea that case is rocking . I as well was looking for something like this! Thanks!! hey erebusting did you order it? did ya like it?
I ordered the clear one, and it came in yellowish like it was old or like someone was smoking around it or something.... the seller gave me a refund because he said they had no more, but I think that all the clear ones were just as yellow ? who knows....
also when you hold the phone in portrait mode on the top right and left corners of the keyboard section the case left a small gap on each side maybe about 1-2 millimeters as if it was slipping off...
Other than all that I liked it, but would not use it because it makes my phone look yellow / ugly... if I had a case like that with these flaws fixed then I would use it.

LMAO...Reading this was funny for some reason
Can you post some pictures? And would you recommend it? I am looking for a new case for my phone, and this one is one that I am considering
I had this case. I had a screen protector on, and the extra height of the screen protector made the screen portion of the case slip off. If you don't use a screen protector, it might work for you. I bought a Seidio case and never looked back. Super thin, rugged plastic. Comes in black so it blends into the phone.

zinite, I understand that, but see I do also have a screen protector on but the section of the case which goes on the screen is fitting fine, the section for the body is the part I have the complaint about. I will definately check out some Seidio cases now that you have mentioned that.
SolemnWishing, Here are some pictures of the case next to a clear hard case (which is actually clear and not yellow...)
Ace42, glad you got a laugh! haha...BTW I am wondering why you were laughing though, kind of odd to me ATM...
WOW! that case is really yellow. i was thinking about getting one thinking it wont be that yellow. but that is definitely gross smoker yellow
Dang... it looks like someone left that out in the sun for like a year or something..
Guess you know what happens to these cases when you have em for awhile... I've long given up on G1 cases: with a simple screen protector you should be on your way. I love the feel of the back of the G1, and a case would only screw that up.

I also love the feelings of the G1 without a case, but I have dropped my previous phones too many times to take that chance... haha
Any ways... Those pictures are from the same day of receiving that case, so it must be some fault on the seller....
its really a disappointment since there are no other cases (that I can find that is) like that for the G1...
any other recommendations/ideas?
So I've noticed that since the backplate of the Atrix is all plastic, it gets pretty slippery and wants to fall out of my hands a lot. Are there any rubberized backplate replacements for the Atrix? I'm looking for something similar to the texture of the back of the Droid 2. I really don't like cases because I feel that they add so much girth to the phone. I'm also open to any DIY solutions as well.
I know someone used some type of rubber spray paint or something to give it a textured rubber feel. I'll try to dig up a link.
*edit*
Bingo!

Good luck my friend
I may give that a try. What I would like to do is get a stock backplate replacement and spray that, just in case I don't like it or I screw it up.

I saw that Bell in Canada will be carrying spare backs and also some 3rd party rubberized backs. you might want to look there first.
EDIT: after I thought about it, it's either "rubberized" or "ruggedized". either way, it's non-oem

I have seen that one floating around Google but I feel its a little sketchy since every website has the exact same low res pic. I may wait a bit to see if anyone else gets it.
Hello;
I need your help.
I need something like that: FlipCase
There are thousands of sundry products but wich manufacturer has the best quality? Avanto? Terrapin?
It also has to be very thin.
And it also don't should be expensive^^
I had one similar to that for my Evo 4g and it was ok, the problem with that case I had was the cut out over the light sensor which covered the senor so when you spoke on the phone the display would not come back on unless you removed it from the case.
The case you linked to doesn't seem to have that problem, the only things I see that I would be cautious of is the way the phone slides into the part that holds it in place and what I mean by that is if you have a screen protector on it looks like it may grab the side of the screen causing the protector to bubble or peel off. Other than that it looks good, most of the cases like that are all the same and quality is the same as well. I would just go for the one with the best price.
Oh it may take a while for the flap to wear overtime an become soft, the one I had previously was very firm which really was not a problem. Good luck.
The thing with the screen protector is really good to know.
Thanks for the advice.
Take a look...

On my opinion, i use the 1st one, and it is great!
Thanks for the advice.
Hey guys,
I'm searching for an case for my evo 3d, which doesn't makes it fat. Is there anything which replaces the original battery cover, just with another design? Normal cases you have to put on the original battery cover, what i hate, because the phone becomes in my opinion more fat and heavier.
Is there anything like the thing described above available? And if it is, can I get this in Europe (Germany)?
Personally, I like TPU cases. They don't make the phone too fat. But they do thicken it.
What you're talking about is a good idea, but it wouldn't really offer protection for the corners?
The only thing I can think of right now is one of those Zagg Invisible Shields.
It's like a screen protector that goes on the whole phone.
It offers scratch protection, but for falls, it's not that great.
Well, protection is not that important for me. I just want another backside, maybe I could even design it myself. On my old DHD I had an normal case, and it felt much thicker, what i actually don't like.
Maybe you're looking for something like this?

I can't paint it myself, it would fail so hard when I'd try it, because I am really bad at art^^. Creating an design online isn't possible, or?
EDIT: I just found a website, which offers the possibility to design an own skin for the EVO 3D and other phones. It's like a sticker then I can attach to my phone.

I'm pretty sure there are other websites for it too.
But that one looks good for you since you're in Germany.
Remember it's a sticker though, it'll eventually get damaged. Also, it offers very little protection.
I'm looking for a replacement back cover. I don't want to go with a case, it only just fits in my pocket, and IDK that I have a whole lot of mms to play with.
My problem is, my wife and I each got one, and they are both black. I almost walked out of the house with both the other day because I wasn't paying attention. If I could do something to differentiate the look a little, that would help greatly. I got stickerboy decals or stickers or whatever you call them, but I can't quite get it to line up (disclaimer: This is almost assuredly my problem, not anything wrong with stickerboy).
Any ideas on a replacement cover or one coming soon on the horizon?

I bought 3 battery covers from that website and they fit. Sometimes there on sale .gotta keep looking arround!
please hit thanks if i helped in any way. send from my g3 d852 beast
Wonder what the chances are if anyone would make an actual "metal" back cover..
I've seen these for the s4

or at least a soft plastic or wood or other colors...
same here!
I hate the cheap feel of the back cover so I was thinking of a skin but I would prefer a simple backcover replacement... I love the wood option on the OnePlus One... I'm still waiting for someone to make this for the G3
I just brought this phone and was looking for a Matt battery cover as i don't want a case too. use to and love the feel of my nexus 5 backing. anyone seen anything like this around?
edit: found this but is another layer. looks good though
