#Found it Thanks scandiun!
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Netuser:
Is this a joke ?

You know that you posting in a Thread which is talking and sharing link of Note 3 cover for S4 ? or you just came here and post it without even reading a single post here ?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] kms108:
thats what this threads about, try reading through it.

from what i have gathered, there are no fakes available.

oh no sorry i was reading at the first post but i havent read what i wanted so i want looking for some links, sorry about that :silly:

I need it ... but I could not find a product shipping to Turkey :crying::crying::crying:

Hi make sure it's 3d carbon fibre skin and not just any ordaniry carbon fibre. The ones which I have had in the past were not as higher quality as this one:)
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] ChronoReverse:
Ordered from RBC and received my back cover yesterda after two weeks (Canada).

I like this cover, it's very grippy and my GS4 looks so much more classy already. That said, it's a faux leather look but feels rubbery. My Qi charging pad fits underneath the cover just as well as the stock cover.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] mcschweg:
I did find out about the hole of the gmarket version - too late. I received today after 2 weeks of shipping 2 whites and 2 blacks and was disappointed:

The quality of the cover itself is teriffic. I know the original look and feel of the S4mini Black Edit. This is totally identical - except the small hole

for an antenna on the S4, they have in Korea (?!?)

I do not like it, but they are the only affordable white versions, i see around, arent they?

I ordered another black one from RB for comparism.

Here the looks of the "hole", when the back is mounted:
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] pakitos:
Well my package was scheduled for monday but the messenger came 5 minutes after I left home :silly: but got it today. There is huge difference between this cover and the plastic one and for $12USD I couldnt be happier.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] chuson1220:
You can only get black color without the antenna hole because the "Black Edition" cover is for i9505. White, Orange, and Lime Yellow only available in Korea so they all have the antenna hole.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] mcschweg:
Thank you for the info. Then I am not that disappointed anymore. I thought, i bought at the wrong place.

I should have bought only white and orange ones and not the blacks from there, but i can live with the white ones with the hole now.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] chuson1220:
I'm using the white one from G-Market as well and I have no complaints. No one will notice that and that hole never bothers me; the benefit that I see is now it's easier to open the battery cover without finger nails!! :laugh:
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Donniearifin:
Can I know how much it cost for the white one? I check the price plus shipping fee to australia its almost 40 dollar too expensive for me.

---------- Post added at 02:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:24 AM ----------

Would you send the link please
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] vahtmestar:
Sorry about offtopic, but what's that antenna on korean version ?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] chuson1220:
Sounds about right; I paid about $32 CDN (incl. shipping) for it. Is it expensive/ over-priced? Yes. But if you like it nothing is going to stop you until you find a better replacement for it. ;)

It's TV antenna; most Korean and Japanese phone has it on their phone.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] vahtmestar:
Ok, thank you !

Got my ordered cover from rbconnective yesterday. I ordered on 28th May and it was dispatched on 29th May. The tracking site shows the information that it left HK on 30th May and arrived in Germany on 2th June. And delivery via local post service was on 10th June.

I already have another genuine BlackEdition cover and both look absolutly identical.

So i can also recommend rbconnective. Low price, delivery time (to Germany) was absolutly ok and quality is very nice and it's definitly a genuine cover.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] markff:
Hello everyone. Here's an update.

I ordered the black faux leather case without antenna gap about 2 weeks ago (from eBay user roytone from Moldova) and received it today. I paid $21,00 and shipping to Holland was free. The material looks and feels better than expected, really good quality. It looks like an official one (the same material as my Note 10.1 2014 tablet), so I am really satisfied. If you want a good one, search for roytone on eBay. I contacted him for questions and he replied fast and accurate.

I wanted to post photos but I can't, because I haven't posted 10 messages yet.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] dopedig:

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] IMMORTALKING69:
You should look into the battery covers on eBay. I have a black gs4 with a black carbon fiber battery cover and it looks most premium. Only issue is the cheap chrome paint peeling off the edges. Wish Sammy would use an aluminum (black) around the frame. The black aluminum HTC m8 looks amazing except the phones bezels need to be shrunk and the camera needs a huge improvement. Until then I like the gs4 I have.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] UnknownEdition:
But nowhere is available white cover? I want it... :(
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] escenkay012:
I'd like to know this too
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] obsydian:

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] 5warafat1:

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] obsydian:
Direct from RBConnective in black as that is all they do. Delivered within 5 days to the UK. Odd the it was delivered by Royal Mail and the senders address on the postmark was UK based ...

What did you do and from which seller?

Mines are carved into the back, I need to really rub the back to get one off.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Netuser:
It that same seller who sell it outside ebay and now have a website. Since I got this cover i havent used any casing, i love it how it is so i dont protect it. And it is still like new just those graved letters 2 of them disappeared, Must be because of rubbing in the pocket :( I think i will just take all silver part off, like this i will only have dark graving , that wont look that bad :P

www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-Samsung-...3?pt=UK_MobilePhones_MobilePhonesCasesPouches

Is this any good?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] pakitos:
Looks like the one we have.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] crazyguns:
for 5quid is quite good right.. Does it get dirty or scruffy?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] pakitos:
If my maths are correct 5 quids are around $8 dollars and thats about what I paid for mine.

It does not get dirty or scruffy but that also depends in how you use it. I, of course, have never used a case/back cover since I got mine and its as good as when I started using it. I could even resell it as brand new :P I also like to take care of my stuff so that might help the cover a lot.

Go ahead and give it a try, after all is not expensive and will improve the quality of your phone quite a lot. :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Convel:
The middle frame is interchangeable between all S4 models but the screen assembly and several other parts are not. I've only found the middle and outer frame in rose gold, which is a pity since I'd love to do a full conversion. I've also found the home button with a gold trim, just not a rose gold trim. Have you found any of the other parts? I think the wait for the refreshed battery cover with rose gold details will be either long or infinite as I don't see Samsung adding it to their accessory list. I'm starting to see Samsung as the Porsche of the phone world; they have so many variants of the same model now that it's almost hard to keep track. It would be great if that meant that the motherboards were upgradeable, but you'd have to replace quite a few other parts as well going from an i9500 to an i9506 if I'm not mistaken.

Try eBay you should surely find one. I'm looking for a brown one for my s4 and can't find one at all.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] raduzabezt:
You can find faux leather back for S4 on Alie Express also.Small price.. about 4$, depends on the seller. I've seen both white and black. Bought black for myself , came in 3 weeks.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Annunneo:
If only I could find a brown one.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] liqwidzero:
I just figured it would make sense to find alternative stores in SK kind of like Amazon (Amazon does not yet exist there, though it will be launching in SK this year). So I did a search for some reputable online merchants and found that store, and Gmarket was highly recommended. The only thing I hate is that South Korean websites are terribly designed. But from what I understand, Gmarket is the the easiest one to get things from.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Chahk:
You're awesome!

Also, Google Translate extension for Chrome works great for translating Korean options.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Skipjacks:
I wonder how long it will take before they do international distribution natively. Samsung is in the business to make money. These will sell globaly. How long will it take for a major profitable international coporation to do the math on that one?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Netuser:
Damn want 1 in Black and 1 Orange. , wish it come to ebay
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] liqwidzero:
Just a small update. My order has shipped. So I'm expecting at least a week and a half to two weeks, being that it is EMS. Could be here by Sat. or Mon. if it doesn't sit in customs for too long.

For the record, I couldn't wait any more for liqwidzero's order to come in, so I went ahead and ordered from G Market too. Mine's been shipped already, and is currently in EMS's hands, listed as in "Waiting for worldwide shipping" status.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] kms108:
I can check this out in hong kong, i purchased the note 3 version few weeks back, orange, mocha grey and a metalic blue all at HKD 98 each, approximate USD 12.6.

I can check for the s4 version if it's available.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] nyonya:
That would be great! Let us know if you see the S4 backs there, maybe we can do some sort of group shipment over to the US and then figure out how to distribute them here.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] liqwidzero:
Mine's about to ship out of SK right now. So, I'm thinking my 2 week estimate may be about right.

I live in Korea and I just ordered a black one. Should be here in a few days.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] shopkins82:
$35 shipped to US is a bit high for me, but I'd really like a black one. I'm subscribing hoping some other alternative appears (I've been searching eBay and AliExpress a few times a week since the Black Edition was announced for Russia/Poland). I'd be in at $20 shipped, maybe as much as $25...
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] cajunaggie87:
One thing that you might consider is that the Korean S4 is a bit different in that it has a TV antenna. It might not change how the back fits, but there will at least be a little notch in the corner. I think it should fit fine since I bought a battery back for an international S4 for my Korean and all I had to do is carve out that notch with a razor. It's about 2mm deep.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] JaeKay:
Nah, been living in the states like 5 years now. But G Market is a legit site. Been around a while.

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] chieco:
Uhm... What r u talking about? expansys wants £12.99 and if u change the currency to € it's 14,99 € in Germany (and 12,99€ in Turkey) plus 3,95€ shipping it says but I ordered one few minutes ago and it says 12,60€ for the Cover :eek: and no shipping costs! Could this be? And honestly it's better then ordering one from SK because of the costums and so on.

EDIT:

Wait a minute now it says total: 26,88€ WTF? there is no info how much they charge for shipping! and how the total becomes nearly 27€.

Do you or anyone have a choice in the ordering process? Or do you mean the chart? Because I'm in Germany and the Cover weights 0,5kg so shouldn't it be 2,99€ for me? Who also ordered from expansys? and how much do you have to pay?

in hong kong we can just goto their local office to make purchase, I've done this before.

Alright it's no big deal since i choose credit card and it will charged by the time the cover is shipped. But it's helpful to see what other people pay.

On expansys.ca the Canadian ripoff amount is:

19.99 Samsung Battery Cover for Samsung Galaxy S4

24.95 Canada - Standard (4 - 5 Days)

or

30.95 Canada - Express (1 - 3 Days)

So I can order it from South Korea for 37.00 or I can order it from a Canadian company for 45.00 or 50.00...WOW

Hey Guys just a quick update.

This morning i called expansys and asked them why my total went from 14,99€ to 28,something and they told me it's shipping and that the system automatically chooses express shipping so i downgraded that to standard and got 20,88€ but now few hours later i got an email which says 12,60€ + 2,96€ tax and 2,99€ for shipping so i got a total of 18,55€ which I think is a fair price :o the operator told me they ship from england but couldn't give me a date on which they will get the Cover's in stock :( anyhow what I'm trying to say is don't get frustrated about the price if you live in Europe you can order it from them the cheapest at the moment. Can't wait to get my hands on my fake leather back cover.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] aviking:
Hey thanks for the lesson in economics that I didn't ask for but "WOW" was referring to the total for shipping from a Canadian source to a Canadian address. At most shipping that back cover across the entire country should be 5.00 tops and they are at 30.00.

No where in my comment did I state that the cost of the back cover was the ripoff it was based on the TOTAL.

So please the next time you feel like being a smart ass think before you type.
