Maybe...
Maybe this is what I have been looking for. Now I just have to find somewhere that can ship it to Sweden for a reasonable price.
Any tips?

I would so buy this if that logo isnt there. lol

^Yeah. Logo ruins this.

One major flaw, it leaves the camera lens exposed so that it can be scratched every time you put your phone down. Would need a quick Sugru mod.

It looks like you could rub the logo off

i bought this on amazon for $6.99 its not bad. was kinda my last resort as i was looking for something to match my pebble blue but theres nothing out there that did so i went for utility. its definitely has more grip than OEM but not by much. its a soft touch type material. fits just like an oem though. more rigid too

it attracts more scratches(superficial can be wiped away) than dust

Got my back in... Love it, minus the damn khomo across the bottom, it's perfect for me

Manufacturers need to make more of an effort if they insist on stamping their logos on the back of their parts? Especially when the logo looks like it was designed in about 3 minutes by a 12 year old....

O.P! Check out my camera mod! Hope this can be useful with your rubberized cover.

Got the same battery cover myself. It doesn't provide more grip in all situations, but definitely provides more "feel" and less slippery than the original one as it's not gloss. What I mean by all situations is that most of the time I don't have a problem gripping the original gloss back, but it definitely becomes harder to grip (slippery) when my hands are too dry or have a little dust/dirt on them.
Every review and picture I've seen of this case has it fitting perfectly and snuggly like the Samsung original battery cover. However, mine is a little bit off. Seems the tolerance on the tabs are just a bit off and won't fit completely on my S3. Some of the corners won't 'snap' to latch and there's a noticeable gap along the edge. Doesn't feel like it will fall off but you can see it. I ordered through Amazon and will be returning this one to them. I did order the exact same case again from Amazon to see if the tolerance on that one is any better. If it fits well, I am definitely keeping it.
The case makes the phone feel more solid. There is no give/bending/etc on it at all when pressing along the back. Again the biggest complaint is the company logo. I've remedied this somewhat by darkening the logo with some flat black paint. I used a paint pen so it was pretty simple to do without it bleeding onto the rubberized part. You could probably do the same with a Sharpie to make the logo stand out less.

Would be really sweet to get my hands on 2 covers. Any tips on how to buy them or getting them transported to sweden?
Many thanks!

looks good

Gizmo Dorks Rubberized Case Cover

Found this on Amazon, didn't see any other posts so i thought i would share. Super thin, flush and tight. paid $6.22 with shipping
go to amazon.com and search for "Gizmo Dorks Rubberized Case Cover for the Sprint HTC EVO 4G
Sounds like the same ones we were picking up from Ebay for $5.95-6.95. Not a bad case for being so cheap.
yea, they look the same as the ebay ones. i have the red one. it's very nice, decent grip, and the color is pretty damn eye-catching. i kid you not when i say that random people come up to me to ask what phone i have on a daily basis...
i have the blue and neon colors coming in too hehe..
Does it hug the phone tightly? Im looking for something rubberized but has a snug fit and covers the edge of the screen.
it does definately hug the phone tightly, but i wouldn't necessarliy say that it covers the edge of the screen, just the sides of the phone...
i got a red one a couple weeks ago. i using set my phone face down so the edges are starting to peel. anyone else have one and notice that?

i have the red one. it's been pretty nice so far. hugs the phone nicely, "rubbery" back provides nice grip. it covers the sides and very slight side edges of the screen.

i don't really put the phone face down (too anal about the screen), but i have noticed it shedding some inner paint on the back of the evo, on the battery cover. have you noticed that?
I've had the smoked one with the diamond pattern for about 3 weeks now. No issues. It does hold the phone firmly. My favorite case so far. No complaints except shipping costs... Wasnt available with Amazon Prime..
My previous case was the one found in the Sprint store with the three colors.

Softtouch backcover replacements?

I find the phone to be quite slippy without any coverings. I don't really want to add a skin or jell case, they will make the phone too thick. I tried fully body screen protectors on my G1 but found they did not last on the body, the edges peeled after a few months on any curved surfaces.
I wondering if anyone made a softtouch back casing, that could replace the one (two) that came with the phone, just something with some grip so the phone does not slip out of your hands so easily...
Other options which could make it even better... it had a think layer of jell for a bit of impact protection... if the side edges extended to cover the metal band on the front, so that it could provide a little screen impact protection too. I maybe asking for a lot, sort of an all in one but it seems like a feasible product.
Everyone is waiting for new backcovers. Samsung will likely make them available, and surely the aftermarket, too. But none are out there, yet.
-bZj
I think it would be cool if they made some metal ones
this is number 1 on my list (rubberized backing)......phone is extremely slippery. number 2 would be anti-glare screen protector, and for 3 i would get a holster from Seidio
If you don't mind sacrificing one of the covers that came with the phone, you could spray it with Plasti-Dip...a readily available rubberized paint. Soft Feel paint from Alsa would probably be much better, but that stuff is only available commercially. If I try the Plasti-Dip, i'll post how it turns out.

that might be worthwhile since I don't like the purple backcover anyway. Now if i can remember where i put it....
I don't know if you guys noticed but any crunching sound is coming from the battery cover and not the chrome trim. I noticed that on a demo model
I'd LOVE LOVE LOVE an aluminum cover, with plastic cutouts overe the antennas for celluar/WIFI/BT/GPS.
I'd settle for Matte too.

i was thinking same thing - if you do it first, abrade (sand) the surface fairly rough so it gets a good bite to the surface - just a suggestion
Or just get some 3m di-noc vinyl carbon fiber film. Did it to my EVO back before taking it back. Looks great and has a texture to it. Got the idea from the EVO section here:

and for the plasti-dip.. please do post pics when u r done!
this plasti-dip stuff is very nice and looks like from factory. i put 3 coats already. cant comment on durability. ps. i light sanded the cover before just in case.
if this stuff hold well, i am planning on doing the same to my other cover.
Picture taken with Nexus
before doing the second one, you might try checking your signal strength (iirc #*#*4636*#*# ) to see if you're experiencing signal loss with the plasti-dip'd cover
if you don't see any signal loss, an idea for you on the 2nd one - take whatever amount of pasti-dip you'll think it will take, and mix in some media to give it some body or thickness as well as texture - maybe some short 1/4 - 1/2" fiberglass strands, ground up walnut media, ground glass or even sand) - just mix in and stir before painting it on
if you do go that route, might try a little bit first and paint onto something else (something plastic or metal that won't absorb any of the material like wood would) just to see what texture it gives you on the surface as well as what kind of build up it gives

I doubt rubber paint will effect signal. The grip and feel just like other rubberized things. Looks like from factory and was super easy to do. 3 coats with 20 minut intervals and 1 hour to dry, instructions say let dry for 4 hours. Sand with 600-800 sand paper. why 3 coats, well just in case....
ps any one know how to remove the chrome trim ? i wanna paint that too. when all this glossy plastics get oily, i hate the feeling it creates.
Kolyan,
looks great. thanks for trying this and posting pics.
What did you use to apply it? Did you paint or spray it on?

There seems to be 2 types of materials, 3 finishes.
On mine, the clearish part is a slightly-bendable hard plastic with the texture of what all of my matte hard plastic. Think the type of plastic that is one most power adapters (that aren't shiny) but add a slightly bendable aspect to it.
The black part on the back is shiny, slick, smooth, and more flexible. It's similar to silicon cases (what I can assume you mean by soft gel/rubber) but I think it's still different. It seems to be less "floppy" even though it is very bendable. The shiny black part seems to "stick" to certain surfaces (such as my desk and other hard/flat surfaces) but not to some that you would expect (it doesn't stick to my pockets at all and glides just fine across my clothing, car seat, and non-leather furniture - it might stick to leather, I don't know). The black part on the front appears to be the same material as the black part on the back, but with a matte finish. The result of the different finish is that it doesn't have the "stickiness" on much of any surface, yet still gives your hand a slight bit of grip beyond what the stock TBolt gives you.
Overall, the "feel in hand" is comfortable and it gives you extra grip but doesn't feel sticky or anything like that. Imagine going from a slick, hard-plastic phone to a phone with a rubberized body (like our TBolt has). Going from a naked TBolt to this case is kinda like taking that one step further. But in no way could I ever describe it as "feeling sticky" in my hand or pocket.

So it looks like/feels like it's not going to just fall apart or anything like that, if that's what you mean. I can't envision drops/dings or other daily use wearing it down.
The ONE concern that I have about it holding up is because it is made with two types of "plastic" (I don't know if it's plastic, silicon, rubber, or whatever, hence my quotes). I fear that if I take the case off and on a lot (for my car dock), that the joints of the two plastics might start to come apart. This is NOT based on any quality issues that I have seen so far, just a concern based on the fact that this wasn't produced in a single mold when it was melted down (this is coming from somebody with an engineering background).
I will be shocked, though, if I have a problem with this case in the next 6 months, and for $5, well, I'd say that's pretty damned good!

Read my post a couple posts up about the 2 different types of materials with 3 finishes. As best as I can tell, the inside is the same material as the outside. What this means is that 60% of it is the very flexible plastic while the clear part does cover ~40% of the back. I would expect the black part to offer more protection to a fall/bump than the clear part, and fortunately the black part covers most of the corners and edges. Still, I expect the clear part to offer more protection than a hard plastic case would.
Updated the OP with some photos. Perhaps they will help.
thanks for the detailed feedback!
This case will also fit into the Verizon holster/shell combo holster. You just can't use the VZW shell, but it'll slide into the holster. The fit is a little snug, but it works. I like to swap out this case with the VZW shell. This one provies more protection, but the VZW one is pretty cool too.
In case anybody was wondering, I got mine from this seller from China: http://goo.gl/62Fhx
It took something like 10 days to get to me, but I didn't mind since it cost less than a good burger.

White Metal Bumper Review w/ Hex Screws

Not much of a reviewer here, but I ordered this from eBay about 2 weeks ago and it arrived today from China. Packaging was a bit strange and is advertised as a Flip Cover i9300. It comes with 1 driver for the screws which can be put on your keychain. 6 screws ( 4 for the phone and 2 extra on the driver ). The overall feel is pretty smooth. The paint seems a bit cheap and might chip easily over time. The buttons are a bit difficult to access.. thats my main gripe, but not near as bad as pressing really hard on the otterbox commuter. No dramatic signal loss that I can tell .. I benchmarked at -87 and with the case -95. Pictures behind the link to show it off in action. If you have any questions please post them here!
http://imgur.com/a/zM4nD#0
Thanks for the pics, I ordered the same case and am waiting for it to arrive. Glad to see the signal loss isnt too bad.
EDIT: Quick question, how is the padding inside the bumper. This was my main concern with buying one.
Looks nice but buttons look a bit mad. I got this

It's really nice and quite flush. I was a bit worried about the slide action but it sits tight. My 4th case so far.
I want to get one but i really do not see the point in buying one for two reasons..
1. The back bit of the phone is the bit i want to protect this doesn't keep it from getting scratched and stuff.
2. It's ugly lol..

would of bought it if it covered the buttons, so it would be easier to press. also, having a nice backplate would be nice, but i was thinking of just buying the white carbon fiber back

The bumper alone drops reception about 5db, adding a metal backplate would encase the phone in a faraday cage, thus drooping reception to 0. making it no longer a phone, be glad no-one has offered that, because anyone that bought it, would be wasting money.
wow i really like the look and shape of that metal bumper, I think it looks really nice!
I wonder if they have a version with buttons instead of holes.
I have a "fake triobump" without buttons, and its easy enough to use once you get used to it, I'd still prefer to have buttons for the cleaner look and ease of use.
the hex screw bumper with buttons would be perfect!
btw my "fake triobump" was slightly loose fitting at first, but it was very snug once i put on my screen protector and fake carbon fiber backplate (which also slightly recesses the camera :good I LOVE the fit and feel of this combination.

LOL the GS3 back is simple to replace and only $7 to get a new OEM one. I don't see a reason to add the bulk of a full case when I can just add a bumper to the part that's harder to protect.

Backplate Replacement

So I've had the OF-7 for a few days now, and so far, my only complaint with the larger than normal ("Normal" being a Nexus 5 for me) screen size for me is the texture of the backplate. Its too smooth, and with the weight, it feels unsafe. I pre-ordered, so they sent me the flip cover which actually feels a lot better in the hand..
Unfortunately I take a lot of videos, so when the flip cover is open and I'm taking video, it gets in the way of the video. Does anyone know where I can buy another backplate that has a better texture to it than the stock smooth one? Thank in advance!

Well, the OnePlus is essentially the same device and its getting backplate alternatives, so we could see that coming to the Find 7 in the near future, but i don't know. Or maybe some third-party company starts to make them, like dBrand for example.

I thought the same about the stock backplate. I loved the feel of the Easy Cover but I don't like flip covers. So I cut the flip part of the cover off. Just cut the flip part along the crease where it naturally folds over. Then, using a nice sharp pair of scissors, Trim the remaining faux leather so it is flush with the plastic edge underneath. The side with the volume rocker has the plastic underneath the faux leather extending past the side of the phone. Just use some sand paper to make it flush with the part that is indented to accommodate the volume rocker. I found that the plastic overhang was reducing faster than the faux leather. Just sand some of the plastic then use the scissors to cut it flush again and continue until the plastic overhang is gone and flush with the sides of the phone. Then you might want to rough up the plastic edge on the power button side. This makes both sides uniform and gives better grip. When everything looks nice and flush use a lighter to melt any frayed faux leather. It probably took me 30 mins because I was a little obsessed with making it look nice. The end result is that it's flush with the left and right sides. It doesn't look hacked together at all. The only asymmetry is that the side that had the flip doesn't have stitching. I've attached pictures. Hopefully it works since I have less than 10 posts.
Wow, that's really well done Doc!
Might have myself a little weekend project here.
I'm really waiting for a thin case like Spigen or Incipio make for the Galaxy series. Nice matte feel for better grip and very thin.
the tchichs
Thnaks, I'm happy with the results. Almost everyone who I've shown my new telephonic smart device to has commented on how good the backplate feels. Give it a try. I'm not super craftsy or anything so anybody should be able to do it. The most tedious part was sanding down the lip on the volume rocker side. I used coarse grit sandpaper but if you had a rotary tool it would go much faster.

The Find 7 Premium has the carbon fiber back-plate. That is suppose to feel more secure. Maybe you can get it already somehow from China.
I have been able to shoot video with the flipcover, ARe you sure you can't acclimate to it? It's also not a bad idea in the protection department.
If you tilt your phone to the right instead of the left and hold the cover closed from the bottom it's not too awkward (for me anyway).
The white back actually has a really nice texture and is not as slippery as the black one. I actually want to see about ordering a replacement but in black. I think it would look cool, black front, white middle molding and black back I hope they start to sell just the backs. I emailed Oppstyle about it. Hopefully they will sell me a black one
I have the white back and still thought it was a little too slippery. I bought a black Nillkin case and Nillkin glass screen protector. The case is a nice textured softouch plastic. It fits great does not add much girth and no more slipperiness. Looks great with white peaking through the speaker and camera cutouts.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nillkin-Mat...Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&var=&hash=item4d1b84f4c2
The glass protector went on easy but I had a bubble that I could not get out. After 2 days the bubble went away with occasional rubbing. Glass feels great but shows fingerprint oil more than stock. I don't like the ear piece/sensor cut out, I would have preferred a separate cut out for each. Seems kind of stupid putting glass on to protect gorilla glass butt people always loved the glass protectors so I thought I would try it. Since the case and protector came to $19 together, what the heck, give it a try. Shipping from China to SoCal was about 10days..

I have this exact setup. Can confirm the glass is very nice and the case is much better than the eBay ones.

I don't like the ear piece/sensor cut out, I would have preferred a separate cut out for each. Seems kind of stupid putting glass on to protect gorilla glass butt people always loved the glass protectors so I thought I would try it. Since the case and protector came to $19 together, what the heck, give it a try. Shipping from China to SoCal was about 10days..

Most people have reported that it has very little to no effect. I've barely used the front camera but I just looked at it and it looked fine to me.
Have anyone found a Place to order replacement back covers, I bought a midnight but would like to try the white and carbonfiber backcover to. Don't have the phone right now as I had to send it back to Oppostyle to get it replaced, but they still don't have any stock. Asked them about getting carbonfiber or white back covers, they checked with Oppo and they answered that they had no plans to sell back covers seperately.

Kedros is doing a mass / bulk order of fake-carbon / third-party back covers over at the official oppo forums right now.
If you want to snatch a carbon look-a-like cover, or simply midnight / white spares, thats the place you got to go.
Kedros charges 4.80€ per cover + 1€ shipping (china international) + 5% paypal fees.
Don't think you will find it any cheaper elsewhere.

Ok, that sounds interesting, but I can't register on the oppoforums for some reason.

Yeah for some reason I can't register through the web.
Use tapatalk and search for oppo, there you can register for an account
Same problem from tapatalk, it just opens the browser to register for me.

I downloaded the app, and that's how I got an account in.
I would love one with a sandstone texture like the OnePlus One.
