OEM battery covers or any for that fact

Why haven't we seen any of these on Ebay or for sale on any phone website? I would like to pick up a few extras just to mess with and make custom back covers but it seems as if we only have the one extra our phone came with. Due to the fact the entire back is the battery cover it lets us change the whole phone without a case.

I highly highly doubt that there will be additional battery covers in the future.
When was the last time a phone came out with extra battery covers a LONG time ago.
I know a lot of people would like them but it's probably not going to happen. Everything now is based around cases.
The fact that tmobile included an extra cover with the phone is great but rare. I don't even know why they did it.

I think he means more like replacements or extras, to mod or paint.

Yes or different colored batteries covers , im really looking for a stock white colored one i am looking into painting my own but would rather have one factory made.

I was hoping they would have this as well. I mean, they can probably fabricate it pretty easily. I would buy a rubberized back for 10 bucks and forget the case.

These are not battery covers, but silicone that goes over the battery cover. I have one, and they are nice. Not too much thicker and with a better "grip."

I like the glossy slip. With the white Korean phone maybe well get some.

[TEMPLATE] Google Employee Battery Cover

Wasn't sure exactly where to put this, so mods feel free to move this thread if necessary.
I recently saw this thread with custom laser engraved battery covers:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1474014
I also was aware of the limited edition google employee battery cover. I figured since they are either ridiculously priced/nowhere to be found, that I would just remake the template so that people could get it done if they wanted too. A few of the icons had to be custom made because I could not find them, but everything is very close. Revisions can always be made later (or by you) if you choose.
I'm sure this template could be used for a number of things, so I figured themes & apps was the most appropriate place to post it. I left the edges to the side icons on also, so if you plan on using this for the engraving, make sure you take care of them.

How they line up:

Awesome.
Any ideas where to get it etched?

I'm not sure I'd want this particular battery cover, but does anyone know of a way of getting other battery covers for the LTE Galaxy Nexus? Custom etching would be nice, but mainly I'd be happy with anything that doesn't have the damn Verizon logo.

[HardCase] Mini Cooper Vintage UK Flag for GSII

Hi all!
Just want to share something good: CG Mobile in collaboration with Mini has released a collection of case for our Galaxy SII and they are quite stylish!
You have 2 with the Mini's bands, and one with the UK Flag
The case is not what we call "high quality" like the others in steel, but they are slim, hard case, and easy to remove and use
I bought the one with the UK Flag, the colors are good: real red and white and matted black...let's see if the colors will stay!
They are light and really not that big (but you feel a difference in your hands ^^)
No silicone anywhere, just soft touched's plastic
The side effect is, if you have the official dock from Samsung (this one), you'll be unable to use it, like a large majority of case
I can't send you a link, just search in google, the price is about 19€
Enjoy

Now that is nice. Pre order at the moment though.
The one in the OP is £16.

The leather one with union jack stitching is very nice, will have to add it to a wishlist on amazon for the next time my current case breaks

[Q] Magnetic macro/fish-eye lenses... will they fit?

Update:
YES. They fit. See my follow-up post below for two example shots.
Original:
I love taking photos. Which is why I'm so glad we all get to carry cameras in our pockets these days.
I stumbled across these things: http://photojojo.com/store/awesomeness/cell-phone-lenses/
They're extra lens attachments for smartphones, and they go on via an adhesive magnetic ring that sits around the phone lens. I'd love to give them a whirl but... the bump.
I'm not sure they'd actually stay on because of the camera bump. So, does anyone have them? Does anyone know if they'll work?

Just sent the seller an E-Mail, I'll let you know once I've got a reply.

If anything the rubberband lens will fit, that is an awesome idea!

Yeah that thing is cool, it just doesn't seem like the results would be on par. Still, maybe as a back-up plan!

Actually, I've had insane results with a DVD burner lens and my old SE W910 ... I could see this working pretty well.
But if you're using the words "on par" you probably have some needs for quality, while I'm just mucking around with it so don't really care as long as it's functional and looks cool.

That's a pretty cool hack, GriffinSauce. Wouldn't mind seeing the results!
For the rest of you that were curious, I found a cheaper seller on eBay (about $20 AUD) and took the plunge.
I'm pleased to announce that they fit.
First shots below.
I'm a little concerned that the stick on magnetic ring that holds the lenses on will come off in my pocket, but it came with three extras. We'll see how it goes.

Just bought this on eBay. Can't wait to use it !

Very DISPLEASED with CruzerLite Intelligent Wallet for Nexus 5

http://www.cruzerlite.com/cases/lg/nexus-5/bugdroid-circuit-intelligent-wallet-for-nexus-5-red-blue
I used this intelligent wallet LIGHTLY for less than 2 months and I already see wearing and rips and tears on the wallet. I do not recommend it at all. I contacted customer service and I got no replies. It's a nice feature to combine a wallet with the phone but on top of the wallet tearing very easily, the phone gets VERY bulky because not only do you have the case now, you have to add the extra material to make it a wallet and even more space for the cards/cash...
If you keep it in your pocket, please check out the wallet in person before purchasing it like I did. I would never go back to a wallet/case again and especially with this particular one.
This is a great case for people with a purse or people who don't mind carrying around a case that wears very easily. The idea of it is great and I loved it until it wore out very quickly and with tears. This case is not for me at least...
EDIT: I forgot to mention, within 2 months, the case that is hot-glued to the wallet is coming off already. I feel at this point, I should just rip off the case from the wallet that is barely hanging on (can provide pictures) but I want to keep it to see how long it will stay on... from the looks of it, at most 2 months and this wallet/case is done. The case should be salvageable but will have the sticky residue from the wallet being hot glued to the case...

And an other unhappy customer here! Exactly the same problem. Although I don't use the nexus too often and I take care of it a lot. Did you find any other case?

So one point you made was you are mad because they designed a wallet case like a wallet case ? Am I understanding you ? You said its too thick since you have to put money and cards in it. Well isn't that why you bought that case ? Its like me complaining that my Porsche is too fast.

Have to say that, that case looks cheap. Thanks for sharing info about this one. Seems like only good flip cover is going to be the LG official.
