I'm interested in the orange one:

http://cgi.ebay.it/Cover-copri-batt...t=Accessori_per_Cellulari&hash=item2c586ed8c8

It's seem to be in Italian and doesn't ship worldwide. Anyone knows where I can get it in Asia?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] furstrated:
how i wish i have access to a 5 axis cnc machine so i can carve my own back plate from a solid piece of metal LOL
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Neris:
Just ask him. He says in the descriptions he would only ship in Italy, but I asked him and he could also ship to Germany (I want to have this: http://cgi.ebay.it/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=400163432199)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] MarvinTheAndroid:
You have good taste, I like that one a lot. :cool:
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Neris:
It's the only fancy one I found, that doesn't seem to be made for girls. I would wish it was more red than purple but that is also a very good color. And it is not that boring as the "single-colored" ones.

I for myself will buy at least four Backplates, this one, two white ones and one black one. one of the white and the black one will get the Android sticker in the opposite color (white on black, black on white) on it. The one from Italy will stay as it is and I will ask a friend of mine to do a custom airbrush on the remaining white one.

Yeah, a little overkill, I think, but a Smartphone like the Galaxy S is more a thing to play with, so having a set of back covers seems funny to me :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] stickyasglue:

heres a vid of it

hope it helps you decide to get one :P
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] MasK:
Thanks for the vid, bro. I intend to get orange and blue.. and I just sent a message to the seller if he's able to ship to my region..
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Neris:
Maybe I'm blind, but I can't find one in black, only "genuine" for around 10$. If anyone has found a cheap black one, please please send me the link.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] padlad:
I hear you, i want just a black one as well, but cannot find one.

Got carried away.. Bought a few more white to mess with
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] hihihehe:
is there any english language and cheaper?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] theproskater:
I really wish someone would make a cover like this!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Neris:
I would already be glad, if there was a black glossy one which is as cheap as the white ones.

Anyone know where to get the original i9000 back cover without having to go through ebay paypal?

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] ss3000:
anyone know if there are any metal back covers for the phone? really like the galaxy s but the plasticky feel is a down-side. if theres a metal back cover i'd gladly buy tht. (dont want the pdair aluminium case, i'm happy with my mofi)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Fornowagain:
Received one of the matt finish one from the ebay link above in black. Very nice quality, thinner and more evenly painted than the UK ones. Proper 'grippy' rubber finish.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Will.1:
Are there any backplates without the hump on the bottom of the plate??? i don't like that too much
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Croak:
That's the way the phone is shaped underneath, amigo. The only way to get rid of the hump would be to raise the whole backplate to that level, making the phone much thicker overall.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] samjuan:
This looks really nice, is it metal or brushed plastic?

Is it good quality? does it align very well on the sides?

However, That seller ships only to Italy, is there another that can ship worldwide, Dubai to be specific?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Harts@J:
I got mine earlier this week.

It is plastic and painted with rubber paint. It is black inside, too.

Very well, like the original.

The page is in Italian, but he ships to another destinations, too.

Please, ask him the possibility to get the plates to Dubai.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Neris:
After the fancy one I wanted couldn't be delivered I will get an other one from the seller: http://cgi.ebay.de/Back-Cover-Battery-Door-for-Samsung-Galaxy-S-GT-I9000_W0QQitemZ180586164926

But after I applied my sticker to the Original Backplate I will have to buy a new one of the stickers. Doesn't bother me that much after they are really cheap.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Will.1:
Daaaaaaaaaamn you're right i hadn't even noticed. And i thought it was a design feature.

I wouldn't mind having the back plate leveled with the size of the hump if the battery was >2000mah though :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Fornowagain:
Plastic, quality is fine. Fits well enough. Shipped to me in the UK, just ask.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Maddinuser:
The best one would be a cover out of metal in the colour of the silver edge around our galaxy !

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Neris:
I#ll need to get a new genuine one soon, as I had a motorcycle accident on Friday and with that my Original one is a little.. uhm.. it is not really broken nor bend, but there are some "scars" on it, not going thrugh but visible on both sides. Very sturdy that thing, asuming I slided on my left side and het the phone in the chestpocket on the same side.

anyone has a backcover in metal? i think it's the best we can find
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Neris:
If there was one I think most of us would buy one. Also, use the search in this board, this question gets asked at least every second page and every second page the answer is: There is no metal backplate yet.

Not a backplate as such, but it covers it and looks nice :-) sorry if its posted before but the threads a bit too big to check!
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] shorty083:
Got 3 of these backplates, 1 white/2 matte black, about 7 weeks ago,

and I have to say, quality it pretty damn good.

Been using the black one all this time and no scratches so far, phone feels nice and sturdy and

it even seems to creak less. Plus it looks less tacky then the original one.

Overall very happy with it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] antsm:
So, all of you, who got a soft-touch cover from link above, can you share some more photos? Words is good, but it's only words ;)

p.s: BTW, cover from Fornowagain at first sight seems to be a little bit different from eBay. I mean there is no "Samsung" logo.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] avatar_43:
Damn I'm gunna get one, I like shinies
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] CASz:
It's hard to take good pictures but I got the bronze one, an orangey/red one and bright green one. They all fit well and feel very nice to hold. Not slippery but kind of suede like. The Samsung text is a little raised.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] antsm:
CASz, okay, i'm waiting for a green and black one. I'll try to make some photos when i get them ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] MasK:
I'm eagerly waiting for mine. It's been 10 days.. and I didn't think HK to Singapore delivery will take that long :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] antsm:

Now with all the New Year orders it will take longer.

Heres another one:

When I ordered my mesh casing, it took about 6 days. I just hope it's not lost..
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] dji:
has anyone else had quality issues with the rubberized backplates? I've owned 2 and the rubber coating on both has started to peal after less than a day of use..

How does it look and feel? I think this "genuine leather" one (sorry, I can't stop laughing at those 2 words) should look and feel better than those rubber-coated ones, what do you think?

Thank you and excuse me for my bad English!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Fornowagain:
Just ask him for a price, he'll send it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] BlueSilence:
I've sent him a message and he said :
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Fornowagain:
Odd, did you offer to pay the extra postage?

€6.90 to the UK
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] BlueSilence:
Sure. I've already asked about shipping price to my country. He just said no :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] CASz:
Since the thread is still going strong, these are 2 of the backplates I got from James-style (I've wrapped the orangey red one). The vendor was great to work with and I got them quite quickly. The fit is nice. The finish is holding up well, I just throw mine in a bag and it hasn't deteriorated at all.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] MasK:
Thanks for the pic. I ordered 3pcs and I'm still waiting for it after 19 days :(

May I ask how long it too to get to your place?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] oswade:
I guess no-one has found a decent leather backplate..? The gmarket korean ones look decent, but cost a fortune....

I sent a message to the seller sometime back and he gave me substantial reasons that the delay due to the holiday season and the maximum it will ever take is 40 days :o Apparently he pass me the tracking URL and it's shipped from China.

Still eagerly waiting..

but my backplate is scratchfull lol.

where we could find replacement eh?

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] DARKKRAKEN:
There is a site that sells them as i've seen then, just can't remember the site.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] ahmed4never:
its over here http : / /shop.brando.com/samsung-i9000-galaxy-s-replacement-back-cover_p05099c1212d011.html i think its the original one
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Nit3m4re:
The official white backplate Galaxy S's are exclusive to Carphone Warehouse (It clearly states next to it if you go instore and look at the white one). Only way of getting one as far as I'm aware would be to try your luck and see if they have one laying about off a broken phone or something and even then, getting them to give you it is another story. Its part of the phone as someone said before, not an accessory, that's the only way you get one from the looks of it :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] xxgg:
I haven't really bothered to look for any new back plate since early in the thread when people bought some from the UK ebay user. Which I also bought and turned out to be a not so precise fit, cover being little thicker than OEM too, etc...

Now there seems to be few different sellers selling i9000 back plates.

Which seller now has the closest to OEM alike fitting?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] stevekainth:
I got white one today from James... one of the retailer from Hongkong but he sells them on UK ebay...

I Think i wasted money... It got a crack when I was tryin to put it one... the plastic is very cheap !!

Not worth buyin :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] 2dorr:
Today I got the backplate, good quality, like the stock one and it fits good on the phone. Around 6 dollars with shipping included, from ebay.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] mazurson:
Looks nice ! Any better than the original one in terms of slip resistance ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] 2dorr:
Yes it's much better in grip. It has a rubber feeling on it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] gmx89:
Looks good.

Do you have the ebay link?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] thE_29:
Yeah!

Please give us links where you buy items..

Dont upload pics and say "i got this" but not saying where you bought it..
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] mazurson:

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] 2dorr:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Back-Cover-Batt...UK_Mobiles_Accessories_RL&hash=item2a0c3fc452

I bought it from here
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] xxgg:
Perfect fit as in absolutely perfirm fitting?

Fits perfect like the OEM without slightly sticking out like some of the earlier ones that people bought from UK?

Volume & Power button doesn't feel like it's inside the too deep due to back plate being ever so slight thick?

Sorry, i am just being real picky.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] hihihehe:
any idea where can i get cheap matte backplates?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] 2dorr:
I don't have problems with the buttons. Only in the upper part of the phone, the part between the stereo slot and the micro usb, is a little extended outside the chrome margin, but you can barely see that. The backplate is perfect from my point of view. I prefer it instead of the stock one. The buttons are not inside the backplate, they are exactly like with the stock one.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] zolah:
I got mine from Amazon for a few pounds.

Quality is.pretty.good and.they.come.in pretty much any colour you want and some you can get with graphics on and diamonties and stuff...

It fits pretty well. It ever so slightly sticks over the top where the USB port and headphone Jack is but its not noticeable unless your really looking for it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] IINexusII:
the one im using is from case mate.

http://www.case-mate.com/Samsung-Ga...axy-S-T-Mobile-Vibrant-Barely-There-Cases.asp

it has that sort of rubbery suede surface.

hey guys

i'm really hellbent on getting a nice backcover for my i9000. I've spent awhile on google and found this:

http://www.alibaba.com/trade/search?SearchText=Leather+Battery+Cover+Galaxy+S+I9000&Country=&CatId=0&IndexArea=product_en&fsb=y&viewAllCategory=

i'm not sure if you guys have come across this before but i really like the brown ones:

http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/364113995/Leather_Battery_Cover_Battery_Door_for/showimage.html

but the problem is there is a minimum order quantity. Do you guys know where i can buy these covers individually?

if not i guess ill just buy these carbon fiber ones i've also found.

http://cgi.ebay.com/DESIGN-BATTERY-DOOR-COVER-SAMSUNG-GALAXY-S-I9000-/250741021961?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3a61545d09

these don't look that bad, but i refer leather over carbon fiber.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] alexanderct:
on sale in hk

Ive been think of getting a new backplate as well.

they sell them in phone cover stores in hong kong.

dont you wish you could just walk into a store and fork over analogue money for an overpriced plastic part? i feel pity for European and American distribution channels and copyright laws.

I'm using a $20HKD ($2.5 USD) cover right now. the bumpy back looks great on the phone but i dont like the feel of the plastic.

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] kms108:
Hi this is the first time in this thread, im also new to andriod, and the galaxy s, i have a official hong kong white version, if anyone is interested in the original white back covers, or others, or protective case, please let me know, i can buy them for you at no extra cost, you pay for the actual items+ packing and register shipping cost.

You can search www.yahoo.com.hk for galaxy s or i9000, there are plenty, if you are interest, just let me know, if you need me to buy for you from yahoo, you will need to give more time for me and seller to trade by hand or send item to me.

Anyone found a glossy white backplate which ships worldwide?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] kms108:
Original white i9000 back covers are glossy, i have asked my friend who works for samsung, to see how much he can get the white covers for as a staff.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] holgalee:
Ooo...replacement white or even pink back (limited edition in Korea?) covers are nice... :)

kms108, are there other back covers, apart from white? I prefer them to be made in Korea if possible.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] kms108:
In hong kong original covers are black or white, they dont state where its made from, but they are usually from china, even those that are from korean are probably from china.

There are non originals in different colours.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] holgalee:

I have one of the thicker extended batteries so that I can have the phone on for more than um 12 hours (ends up only lasting about 22 or 23 hours but thats with alot of usage).

Only problem is that the replacement cover that comes with the extended batteries is a cleap looking rubber finish... and I havent been able to find anywhere using google that can provide an alternative cover (But I was close!!! I found a nice looking case for a vibrant on the samsung site... but none for i9000!!!!)

Anyone know if there is anywhere that makes a smooth, non rubbery replacement backplate for extended batteries?

I have ran a search on this thread and I dont see any results for Extended battery or thicker back case, etc.

Why? Is Korea really better quality? I got a leather case from Korea which advertised with " real good quality" , the thing broke within 2 weeks. It was cheap, but still...
