I ordered and received one from the US ebay seller. Looks and feels much better than the original cover. I have a Nokia Qi charger, do I need a new battery for wireless charging or does this phone not work with the Nokia chargers that At&t was selling for cheap? I got a wireless charging sticker thing for my S3 that has been working great. Is there something similar for the S4? Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] chuson1220:
No, you don't need new battery. All you need is a Qi Wireless Charging Receiver that put under the battery cover. Do a quick search and find the thinnest one (0.5mm or below) so it won't bulge the stock cover.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] kms108:
You can also get the wireless charger battery by anymode.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] GregoryLas:
I went on Gmarket but it said it was out of stock. When and will they get more?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] chuson1220:
Yup, I'm sure the quality will be great too but it's kinda pricey. Anymode UK
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] kms108:
I want to get it, even if it cost alot, but it's not available over in hong kong, and everywhere I find will not send to hong kong.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] chuson1220:
Try here; might support Worldwide shipping.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] el6006:
Oh, Ok, so just like I got for the S3 then. Cool. Thanks. Now, anyone got any links to one that works well? :laugh:
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] GregoryLas:
Hey. Gmarket just got restocked. :)
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] gomez_pt:
yup.. but they want 10$ for shipping (europe) :eek:
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] AndreiLux:
Wanted to get this but was always so expensive.

There's actually cheaper alternatives in Europe if you use local e-tailers:

Czech/Slovakia wholesale

http://www.giga-tel.com/item-16550-samsung-i9505-battery-cover-black-edition.html

Personally I took the Spanish/Portugal one since they were the cheapest at €6.45, even if the shipping is outrageous, it comes out cheaper than other options.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] chuson1220:
I found that alternatives only carry black color; white and other color has to go through G-Market or official Samsung site.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] arkon67:
Regarding your coments, Gmarket look pretty fine. So I just ordered 2 covers on it.

one with -50% with the offer for new clients

2 covers + shipping to France for $46,74 paid via Paypal :good:

Do you have any link on ebay or reputable site that ship to Canada ?

Right now I am using the thinnest wireless adapter but it still kind make slight Bump on back cover and my phone is not flat one place on the table. So will prefer a battery option if it is a good battery

My brother just bought me one from Korea.

I got the white leather one but he said they had more colors.

Here is the two photos he sent me. I will be getting the soon.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Empereur78:
Hello, can you confirm that covers from gmarket have the hole for the antenna (S4 korean version) at the upper left corner ?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] kms108:
majority of the stock for gmarket does have the hole, gmarket is koreas ebay, if you don't want the hold try other online site or wait for local stock in your country.

---------- Post added at 11:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:38 AM ----------

apparently it's the hardest accessories to get even gmarket isn't available, it is a good battery, it's a stock samsung battery with qi built in.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Alestilohomer:
Hi friends!

FYI, Rody (The ebay seller that sends the covers worldwide but outside ebay by contacting him by email) has wrote me to inform me that now he can ship worldwide directly from his online store: http://www.rbconnective.com/

I've tried to get some kind of discount, but he doesn't answer me this question... hahaha

It cost 11.99 $ and the shipping is free !

that white leather cover looks amazing :cool:
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] igacek:
I know we're mainly talking about covers, but I saw the S4 in the posts have a rose gold mid frame, earpiece, home button, etc. Are there any SCH-i545 rose gold mid frames/home buttons? I can only find them for the i9500 series, which I don't think works with the SCH-i545. Unless someone can say otherwise?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] darrendm:
would be great to find a UK seller for the white faux leather cover.

£20.83 on gmarket is a bit too dear for me
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] pakitos:
lol not so worldwide since it doesnt ship to many places. Im trying to contact him once again to see if he can ship to Mexico :crying:

Edit: I sent an email and the seller agreed to ship to Mexico, made it available in the country list. If yours isnt listed try asking, keep in mind that the seller uses free shiping from Hong Kong and Im 99% sure is without a tracking number and thats why he dont want to ship to some places, cause he says it gets lost.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Annunneo:
Just thought i'd post this here, it's an ebay link for the same back covers http://www.ebay.com/itm/Genuine-Sam...DA_Cases&var=570332444153&hash=item3f367c1de9 . Enjoy :)
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] 5warafat1:
But its not avaliable in white colour though.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Netuser:
I bought it from that guy outside ebay through email, I just received it today and it is real nice, it look genuine and feel so good. My phone is now perfect and beautiful :)

Also you do get Tracking number and once the Parcel arrive in your country (for me Canada) it also worked on Canada post tracking site and I had to sign the package to get it. Shipping was really fast it was here in less then 1 and half week.

I was scared to get ripped off but it was only 11 dollars so i took the risk and finally I am happy i did, I have completely new phone.

My issue with wireless charger adapter stay same, i get the small bump and i am afraid to damage the cover at the long run even if it is flexible. So guys if you find a good deal somewhere the Battery with built in wireless charger do share it.

Also now I dont want to put cover case on my phone dont want to hide the beauty but I am too scared to get scratches, anyone can share their experence how good this new cover is for scratches ?

UK eBay seller for black cover: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=251529818542

I have messaged the seller and he DOES NOT have any in WHITE.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] chuson1220:
Black is widely available because of the Black Edition; while white/ orange/ lime yellow is Korean specific, hence only Korean website such as G-Market or official Samsung website carries it.

Hello everyone. I've read all pages so far, really interesting stuff here. I was waiting for this faux leather case for months and now it seems to be there. Finally!

I was wondering, does anyone know where to find an original Samsung black faux leather case without antenna hole (like the Korean version)? I prefer to have it without, but saw a lot of them with the extra hole. Shipping to the Netherlands is what I am looking for.

Thanks!

SO!

After much searching, I have stumbled upon this: http://item2.gmarket.co.kr/English/detailview/item.aspx?goodscode=513654655

You can order worldwide from here - and it's owned by ebay. I ordered an orange one. And it only ships via EMS, soooooo... I will inform you all when it (eventually) gets here - EMS takes a while!

Total price plus shipping for one back cover is $35.25.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Tvercetti28:
How can you tell which one s the black one, the options are written in some kind of chinese:)
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] liqwidzero:
It's in Korean. I figured it out by looking at the images further down the page and corresponding them with the color.

In the drop down:

Black

White

Yellow

Orange
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Tvercetti28:
Ah i see, didnt scroll all the way to the bottom thats why i didnt notice that, anyway im having trouble to register in the website to proceed with the purchase, the register page doesnt load up, ill try later maybe:) Tks for the tip:)
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Wiidesire:
24,30€ for me in Germany (including shipping)

thanks for the link!

same for me :/

edit:

register first, then log in and then take the order
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] liqwidzero:
To register, use the registration link on the top left of the page. The other one you get linked too seems to be broken.

I would like to ask everyone else - for the moment - to hold off on purchasing one, though. Being that this comes from an independent dealer in a foreign land, I want to make sure that this is a good purchase and worth the money to whoever wants to get one.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Wiidesire:
I ordered it via Paypal but then cancelled again after I read this:

EMS has huge customs for Germany. 21€

25€ for cover + 21€ = 46€. Way too much

Btw: how did you find the cover?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Tvercetti28:
I take your advice and I`ll wait on your feedback and see if its a trustable seller before i order it:D
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] nyonya:
Assuming this checks out as legit, we should pool orders to save on shipping charges overseas. I'm in the NYC area, we can figure that out through PMs if/when the time comes. For the time being though I will also wait and make sure this seller is reliable. Thanks liqwidzero for being the guinea pig!

Here is the website from an eBay seller that a few of us have used:

http://www.rbconnective.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=577
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] markff:
Just curious about the one from Rbconnective...

Is this an original Samsung case and doesn't it have the antenna gap? How much is shipping to Holland? (can't find it on their website)
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] itzik_man:
Received today, just graet!

The black cover with leather like touch feel, great fit with no antenna gap.

Total cost was 11.99$, free shipping to Canada.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] markff:
But is it a real Samsung one or a fake case? Seems fake for this price though...
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] pakitos:
Shipping is included and it does comes with a tracking number, at least in my case. I have seen the tracking number for around $1.5USD on another site from HK, so basically the case is $10.5 USD.

Does it matter if its fake or real? So far it looks like the real one and it might be cause they are buying it from the factory and sending localy, while in G-market you have to pay other fees.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] itzik_man:
If it's fake, it's a better quality then the real one..

It feel soft leathery, rather then a plastic imitation of the Note 3 cover.

If this is a fake one, who cares...

Just to feel better, you can send them double the cost.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] kms108:
only the black version has the soft rubbery feel, the other colours is just normal plastic.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Netuser:
It is just like note 3. Feel very good quality. No one can see any difference if it is fake or real thats how good it is.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] OLEDMAN:
Yes I agree.

I bought one off this rbrand seller and my mate has a Black Ed and I can't tell any difference

I think they are original parts mate.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] kms108:
I don't think there are fake anywhere, the first place to find fakes stuff is in china, but I can't even find them, only the normal version one's are available.

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] pakitos:
To ship out it was next day and while some said it arrived in less than 2 weeks in Canada, I just reached a week yesterday and Im from Mexico but whenever I order from Hong Kong it always takes at least 3 weeks and a half (fastest I have received) to 2 months. Id be very amazed if it arrives next week but Im not too positive, THIS IS NOT THE SELLERS FAULT!

Even if the cheap ones ordered from G-market, eBay and RBConnective arent original they seem to be pretty good replicas and I dont know why I should bother and spend 4 times the amount for the same back cover that RB sells for $12 dollars.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] tzyn:
He just post the links (again and again), because these are his own ebay auctions. He already posted this in a german forum many times.

He just want to make some money. In germany you can order the cover for 10,02euro in an electronic market (MediaMarkt/Saturn). And he sell it for 2-3times this price.

[MENTION=5420315]pakitos[/MENTION]:

i think quality has its price. Also originality has its price.

Just my two cent.

Good evening
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] pakitos:
Quality doesnt have to have a price, the price is set by a brand and their will to earn the amount of money they want to get from the sell.

Samsung can produce the cover for $5USD and sell it for 10 times more at $50 and any other manufacturer can produce it for the same $5USD and sell it for $10, same quality, same design and in many cases even the same factory.

If you talking about quality, Levi's makes their jeans in Mexico for very low prices and sells them all over the world for at least twice the price and so does Nike in Vietnam, Apple in China and soon in Brazil, Toyota or Honda in the UK and many more.

Quality is not a synonym of price.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] k2828:
Certificated manufacturer with the sertificated ingredients and certificated manufacturing process.

The possibilitie that is more healthy etc. , is higher... And if samsung sells a product for x dollar, they wont allow any official manufacturer to sell the item lower then that. The things that you get cheaper then samsungs price, are mostly second choice, with little failers etc. .. But i dont want to go any further because itsoff topic. Everyone have his own priorities
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] tzyn:
[MENTION=2803010]k2828[/MENTION]:

Curios that someone with the nickname "k28" posted the links again and again in the android-hilfe forum, isn't it? And in the same time here in the xda forum with the nickname "k2828". ;)

These are your auctions. Or why would someone post ebay-links (and only these links!!) many times and in different forums if it's not his own.
